Cheng Si happened to come back on the morning of the 6th. If he hadn't come back, the child would have to go to school with Qian Yu.

The academic workload for senior high school students is quite intense, and they have to go back to class tonight. His cousin packed up the exercises and test papers he brought back at three o'clock in the afternoon and went back to school early.

There are only Cheng Si and Qian Ruohan left at home now. The first year of high school will start in two and a half days, and there will be a placement test one day after the holiday. Cheng Si has no energy to play with the little girl.

"Little Nuomi, brother needs to read a book first. Can you play in the living room upstairs by yourself for a while?" Cheng Si asked in a gentle voice.

Qian Ruohan nodded obediently and followed Cheng Si upstairs. Cheng Si took some snacks and placed them in the living room on the second floor and said, "If you need anything, just call me." After that, he went back to his room to review.

This exam for them is also a formal class placement test. They have not been in class for long, so most of the exam content is junior high school knowledge points, and a small amount of new knowledge from the first year of high school will be involved. The content will be more difficult than the high school entrance examination.

For someone like Cheng Si who already had a basic knowledge, it wasn't difficult, but he wasn't the type to be self-righteous, so he took out the textbooks and test papers and started studying seriously.

Qian Ruohan was bored watching TV in the living room, eating snacks, looking at the sky outside from time to time, complaining helplessly in her heart, "Why do these two brothers have such a lack of time concept? They don't even know to cook when it gets dark. I'm so hungry."

Cheng Si read until it was getting dark. He rubbed his swollen forehead and looked at the time. It was almost half past six. He tidied up the desk, turned on the light in the room and left.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qian Ruohan in the living room with her head lowered, pulling a bald doll with an unhappy look on her face.

Qian Ruohan heard the door opening, looked over, then looked away, moving back to sit with her back to him.

Cheng Si was stunned by her reaction, then walked over with amusement, stood in front of her and looked at her ignoring him, curling his lips, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I didn't play with you?"

Qian Ruohan puffed up her cheeks and snorted, "Brother Chengcheng, why are you like Brother Xiaoyu? You don't even cook when it's dark!"

After hearing these serious words, Cheng Si couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qian Ruohan stared at him, her young heart was hurt, tears welled up in her eyes and it felt like they were about to fall.

Cheng Si realized that he had gone too far, so he quickly stopped laughing, patted her head and said softly, "It's my brother's fault. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you now."

Qian Ruohan sniffed and said sullenly, "Egg fried rice, add more eggs."

Cheng Si said okay and hurried downstairs to cook. He was so engrossed in reading that he forgot that he had a child at home.

Cheng Si quickly cooked the rice and added some more ham and bacon for Qian Ruohan.

Qian Ruohan's mood improved after she ate a few bites of Cheng Si's food. She looked at Cheng Si with curved eyes, "Brother Cheng Cheng, you are different from Brother Xiao Yu!"

Cheng Si didn't understand why and asked, "What's the difference?"

Qian Ruohan curled her lips and explained, "The food you cook is delicious. He can't even eat the food he cooks, so he asks me to digest it for him."

Cheng Si was amused by the little girl's playful words.

After dinner, Cheng Si received a call from her aunt. A few women who were traveling together remembered that they had a child at home in the midst of their busy schedule.

At this moment, Yu Yan asked Cheng Si some family matters, and then someone else started talking. The person on the other side greeted him politely. It was Qian Ruohan's mother.

After a few words, the topic turned to the little girl, "Chengcheng, your cousin went back to school today, right? Her grandparents will come back to the city to pick her up tomorrow. I'm sorry to bother you, Little Nuomi, today. Auntie will bring you a gift when you come back."

Cheng Si felt quite embarrassed after hearing this. After all, he only cooked a meal for Qian Ruohan, and he didn't take good care of her. He paused before replying, "Thank you, Auntie. It's not a big deal. Xiao Nuomi is very obedient."

After saying this, Cheng Si handed the phone to Qian Ruohan and asked her to chat with her mother.

After the call, Cheng Si saw that it was getting late, so he followed the adults' instructions, adjusted the water temperature for Qian Ruohan, stood at the door and waited for her to finish her bath, and then took her back to her room to sleep.

Cheng Si originally thought that the trip would be over once he was sent back to the room, but he didn't expect there was still the step of coaxing the child to sleep.

Cheng Si asked with some confusion, "Does your brother Xiaoyu also tell you bedtime stories?"

Qian Ruohan shook her head, "He won't tell me anymore. I can't sleep when he tells stories. They're a bit scary." Then she looked at Cheng Si and blinked, "But I want to listen to you."

Cheng Si waved his hands helplessly, took out a fairy tale book and slowly told a story.

The little girl still kept her eyes open quietly. Cheng Si had no choice but to tell another story, and Qian Ruohan slowly closed her eyes. Cheng Si waited until her breathing became steady before he gently got up and left.

After Cheng Si returned to his room, he received a call from Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi was silent for a long time before he said, "Will you come out and drink with me?"

Cheng Si was quiet for a while before saying, "I'm not going out."

When Lin Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment and was about to hang up the phone.

Cheng Si silently added, "I have kids at home and can't leave, come and drink with me."

Lin Zhi said "Oh" and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Cheng Si went to the gate of the community to pick up Lin Zhi and took him into the Qian's living room. Lin Zhi opened a bottle of beer and drank it in a somewhat decadent manner.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Si sighed helplessly, picked up a bottle and clinked it with him, "Tell me, what's going on now?"

Lin Zhi took a breath and fell back into the sofa, "My dad is getting married."

Cheng Si was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "You are not the kind of person who would care about such things, what's wrong now?"

Lin Zhi sneered, "Who cares if he's married or not, but that woman showed off in front of me before she even entered the house. I don't know where this idiot came from."

Cheng Si frowned, not knowing how to comment after hearing this.

Lin Zhi stood up from the sofa and sighed, "I don't want to go back to that smoky place now, so I want to find someone to drink with."

After hearing this, Cheng Si clinked glasses with him and said, "Since you said so, I will reluctantly accompany you to drink away your sorrows today."

Lin Zhi said "Oh" and clinked glasses with Cheng Si. He then thought of something else, "Did you go out with Jin Li the other day?"

Cheng Sidao nodded very frankly and asked with some doubt, "How did you know?"

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, "I saw what he posted on WeChat Moments."

Cheng Si paused when he heard this and was about to look for his phone, but Lin Zhi stopped him and pouted speechlessly, "Don't look for it. Do you understand that friendship is more valuable than love? I'm still here. Do you still want to look at what other men send?"

Cheng Si was just curious about what Jin Li had posted, but when he heard Lin Zhi say that, he felt helpless and stopped wondering about the content. He chatted with him while making sure he didn't drink too much.

Lin Zhi was able to communicate normally at the beginning, but later he became incoherent due to the alcohol. Cheng Si waited until he was completely drunk, put a small blanket on him, and went back to his room to sleep. The main reason was that he couldn't drag a drunk who was taller than himself.
