She Is Brighter Than the Stars

Li Shubai came over and patted his mother on the shoulder, “Mom, she is here to look for me.”

Mama Li responded and greeted other guests.

Looking at the mountain of gift boxes on the table, Li Shubai asked softly, “What are these?”

Cheng Nian felt a little guilty, it was hard to say that she wanted to make up for the past for Mama Li, so she said euphemistically, “I brought them for Auntie, they are all good things for nourishing Qi and blood.”

Li Shubai frowned slightly, and said coldly: “Cheng Nian, you don’t have to please me, I’m giving you extra lessons just for money.”

Cheng Nian rolled her eyes in her heart, and hurriedly said, “I know you don’t like me, and that’s not what I mean.”

Li Shubai’s gaze sank. Under the street lamp, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, and she couldn’t see his expression.

“Then what do you want to do?”

Cheng Nian bit her lower lip and said directly: “It was my fault to harass you. I apologize for everything that happened before. I’m sorry that I didn’t consider your feelings. I hope you can forgive me.”

The unpredictable emotion in Li Shubai’s eyes deepened, he moved closer to Cheng Nian, and asked, “Are you so kind?”

Cheng Nian smiled mischievously: “People always grow up.”

With that said, Cheng Nian pushed the things in front of Li Shubai, “Take it, or I’ll feel bad about it.”

Li Shubai lowered his eyelids halfway, returning to his usual indifferent expression.

His eyes swept over the things on the table, and he said something lightly.

“Then these are the tuition fees for the summer vacation.”

Seeing that he was willing to accept it, Cheng Nian agreed without thinking carefully, and asked flatteringly, “Can you forget about what happened before?”

Li Shubai coughed slightly, looked aside, and said unnaturally: “As long as you study hard, I…”

Before Li Shubai finished speaking, Cheng Nian hurriedly raised three fingers to the sky, and said solemnly: “Don’t worry, I will definitely study hard.”

Cheng Nian thought he can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn’t hold grudges against her.

It happened that there were not many people around in this time, so Cheng Nian went to learn from Li Shubai after explaining to Mama Li how to use the supplements.

At around ten o’clock in the evening, Li Shubai circled a few practice questions for Cheng Nian and was about to send her home.

Without even thinking about it, Cheng Nian said, “No need, someone will pick me up.”

Li Shubai glanced at her and said nothing.

When closing the stall at night, Mama Li seemed to suddenly remember who Cheng Nian was, and hurriedly asked Li Shubai.

“This is the girl who has always liked you?”

Li Shubai paused for a moment as he retracted the bench, and replied in a low voice: “Yes.”

Mama Li’s heart skipped a beat.

She remembered that this girl had been here before, and although she looked exactly like two people this time, the aura of being either rich or cultured hadn’t changed, and the things she gave her seemed to be of great value.

Mama Li hesitated and said, “Then…”

Li Shubai saw his mother’s embarrassment, and explained: “She recently asked someone to tutor her, and these are all tuition fees, so you can use them at ease.”

Mama Li sighed, she was not worried about this.

Knowing that Li Shubai was always sensible, she didn’t say anything.

After Cheng Nian returned home and finished a few questions circled by Li Shubai, she dared not fall asleep for a long time.

Worried about having another nightmare, she took a bath and drank another cup of hot milk to relax herself before carefully closing her eyes.

She didn’t know if these played a role, but Cheng Nian finally had a fairly peaceful sleep.

Thinking that she had made it clear with Li Shubai, Cheng Nian rushed to Zhang Zheng’s house the next day as scheduled.

When she walked into the study, Li Shubai was already writing exercises.

Cheng Nian sat down in front of him, took out the homework book from her bag and handed it over.

“I really don’t know how to answer a question, so I didn’t write it.”

Li Shubai responded lightly, and opened Cheng Nian’s notebook.

Seeing Li Shubai’s slender fingers holding the pen and pointing to her notebook one by one, Cheng Nian’s eyes raised up unconsciously.

No matter what, Li Shubai was still very good-looking. He lowered his head and focused on Cheng Nian’s homework.

From Cheng Nian’s point of view, Li Shubai’s nose was straight, his lips were tightly pressed, his dense and long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the injury He Yunfei had brought to him could be vaguely seen on his fair and handsome face.

Perhaps for convenience, Li Shubai’s hair was cut extremely short, making it stick to the touch.

The blue short sleeves on his body have been washed until they are a little pale, but it doesn’t affect his youthful spirit in the slightest.

Cheng Nian let out a long sigh.

Why did such a dangerous person have the appearance she likes the most.

Li Shubai suddenly raised his head.

Cheng Nian hurriedly looked away, and said nervously, “How is it?”

Li Shubai moved the notebook in front of Cheng Nian, and explained the few questions she got wrong.

Cheng Nian also put away her distracting thoughts and listened attentively.

After the morning class, Cheng Nian took out the money from her bag.

Yesterday Li Shubai said that he had no change, so Cheng Nian specially exchanged a few ten yuan.

She stuffed eighty to Li Shubai, “This time there shouldn’t be many.”

Li Shubai didn’t answer, and said indifferently: “In the future, you don’t need to pay, I will give you extra lessons before the end of the summer vacation.”

Cheng Nian was taken aback, holding up the money and asked in confusion, “Summer vacation? What summer vacation?”

Li Shubai glanced at her, “The stuff from last night counts as your summer vacation tuition fee.”

Cheng Nian suddenly said: “Ah, what you said, it’s just a gift for Auntie.”

She didn’t want to see Li Shubai throughout the summer vacation.

Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian coldly, “I told you, I don’t want to owe you anything.”

Cheng Nian said anxiously: “The things are for Aunt Li, how can you say you owe me. And I really don’t like you anymore, so I won’t ask you to do anything.”

Hearing the word “dislike”, the chill on Li Shubai’s face deepened.

“That’s not OK.”

Cheng Nian pursed her lips, her face was puffed up like a little bun, and she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing Cheng Nian unhappily tugging on the pale pink skirt, Li Shubai reminded.

“Remember to wear your school uniform when you go to school in the afternoon.”

Cheng Nian responded angrily, and stuffed the book viciously into her schoolbag.

Because it is a boarding school, it is a holiday on Friday, and she has to arrive at school at four or five in the afternoon on Sunday, and then have a night of self-study.

Every time He Yunfei would run to the Cheng’s house after lunch, and the two of them rode a small e-donkey to the supermarket to buy a lot of delicious food to take to school.

Mama Cheng likes He Yunfei very much. Every time he comes, she will put out all kinds of delicious food on the table.

It is also He Yunfei who knows how to sweet talk and is very good at coaxing elders.

Li Meng, the class teacher, was sometimes made angry and laughed by him, and the punishment matter was left alone.

He Yunfei pouted when he left the supermarket with big bags and small bags.

“Look who that is.”

Cheng Nian held the snack in her hand and looked in the direction He Yunfei’s chin pointed.

It was school time at this time, and boys and girls in school uniforms were everywhere on the road.

There are two people who are particularly eye-catching.

Cheng Nian lowered her eyes and saw Li Shubai and Tang Yanran walking side by side talking and laughing.

Cheng Nian had never seen such a smile when Li Shubai faced her.

She freed her hand, pinched He Yunfei’s face, and said displeased: “It’s none of my business.”

He Yunfei rubbed his painfully pinched face, took the bag in Cheng Nian’s hand, and said aggrievedly: “I’m just afraid that you will turn back.”

Cheng Nian snorted and said something firmly.

“It’s the dog that turns back!”
