Chapter 106 Shock

Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Shock

Shen Mianmian’s sudden utterance startled Zhou Siyu, and when her gaze met Shen Mianmian’s, she found it somewhat chilling.

The words of Wang Jingjing surfaced in her mind, causing the hairs on her body to stand on end, and she felt the atmosphere in the room turn particularly eerie, "I, I..."

She stuttered out the word "I" for quite a while without managing to say a complete sentence.

"Go back to sleep."

Shen Mianmian said coolly.

"..."

Zhou Siyu swallowed hard, not daring to utter a word of defiance, and scurried back to her bed as if fleeing from a ghost, burrowing into her blankets.

She used to intentionally stretch her feet towards Shen Mianmian’s side when sleeping, but this time she kept her distance, extending her feet outside the blanket, still shivering slightly.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She was somewhat puzzled by Zhou Siyu’s reaction; she had been a bit cold just now, but was it enough to scare Zhou Siyu like that?

She certainly didn’t have He Nan’s presence.

Forget it, there’s an exam tomorrow, as long as Zhou Siyu doesn’t make a fuss, that’s fine.

With two students having exams in the house, Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang got up exceptionally early in the morning, starting to cook rice at five-thirty. Shen Mianmian, having gone to bed early, was an early riser, while Zhou Siyu hadn’t managed to sleep until the second half of the night and found it difficult to wake up in the morning.

Fearing that she would be late, Zhou Lanfang hastily called her before the rice was even ready.

"Siyu, stop sleeping, hurry and get up, you have an exam today, don’t be late. Look at that girl, she’s already washed up."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siyu’s spirits lifted, "Did my sister go to school?"

Now that the roads were in good condition, it was possible to ride a bike to school. If Shen Mianmian took the bike, what would she do?

"Not yet, she hasn’t eaten yet, hurry up and get dressed, don’t catch a cold." As Zhou Lanfang spoke, the sweet potato porridge was still simmering on the stove, and seeing Zhou Siyu get up, she went to the kitchen.

Zhou Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and quickly got dressed and out of bed.

Shen Jianhua was making a fire in the kitchen. Upon seeing Zhou Siyu come in, he pointed towards the chopping block, "There’s hot water there."

"Uncle, why didn’t you wake me up to make the fire? You just got back yesterday, you should rest more today." Zhou Siyu sweet-talked while pouring water to wash her face.

Before Shen Jianhua could respond, Zhou Lanfang said, "Look how sensible Siyu is. During the time you weren’t here, she was the one getting up in the morning to make the fire for me."

After speaking, she cast a glance at Shen Mianmian, as if to imply that she was lazy.

Zhou Siyu also looked at Shen Mianmian with guilt, terrified that Shen Mianmian would expose her. The current Shen Mianmian had a sharp tongue; if she really uncovered the truth, all of Zhou Siyu’s years of ’hard work’ would have been in vain.

Fortunately for her, Shen Mianmian was busy carrying bowls and chopsticks and had no intention of speaking out.

In order to have both children perform well on their exams, Shen Jianhua asked Zhou Lanfang to use a small piece of precious cured pork, which the family had been reluctant to eat, and stir-fried it with Chinese cabbage.

The aroma wafted from the pot, causing Zhou Siyu’s mouth to water, and even Zhou Lanfang swallowed hard. They hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, and she too was craving it.

With Shen Jianhua’s help, breakfast was prepared especially quickly; Zhou Lanfang ladled out the porridge and handed a multigrain cake to Zhou Siyu.

"Quick, eat up and head over early."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Siyu glanced at Shen Mianmian with a smug look. She barely slept last night, frightened, but she realized later that if Shen Mianmian really had any issues, the house would have been in chaos long ago, and she wouldn’t have remained so docile, right?
