The hot weather causes the temperature in the house to rise rapidly, and it is difficult to dissipate the stuffy atmosphere just by relying on the power of an old oscillating fan.
The open windows provided ventilation, and Liu Weicheng raised his hand to pick up the water glass after finishing the topic.
Just as I was about to take a sip, the water in the cup had already reached the bottom.
"I'll pour it for you."
Before he could say anything, Zhao Xuanying, who had been immersed in studying, immediately stood up, took the water glass from Liu Weicheng's hand, trotted to the teapot and poured a full cup.
He returned to Liu Weicheng and handed it over.
He said thank you and reached out to take it.
The scalding hot water prevented him from drinking it directly. He could only place it beside the table and wait for it to cool down naturally. He watched Zhao Xuanying sit back down and get into studying again...
His eyes didn't stay on the other person for too long, and he was quickly attracted by the provocative eyes on the side.
Turning to look at Shen Yunli sitting next to Zhao Xuanying.
This girl who seemed not to be trifled with was still staring at him with those scrutinizing eyes, as if she was very wary.
Recalling that Zhao Xuanying said in the morning that the relationship between Shen Yunli and her family is very tense, it is understandable that the other party has such a personality.
His trademark cheerful face appeared again, he smiled at the little girl looking at him in front of him, and then he saw the other person look away quietly, as if he had never looked at him at all.
"..."
His expression froze, and after hitting the wall one after another, Liu Weicheng realized that his smiling face didn't seem so sunny.
He raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks, returned to his normal expression and stood up.
"I'm going out to get some air."
After leaving such a sentence, he turned around and left.
outside the house.
The sun is just right.
Putting his hands on the railing, Liu Weicheng fumbled and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lit one and stared ahead as if looking into the wind.
Wisps of green smoke floated along the cigarette butt and disappeared in the air.
Raising his hand to take another bite, the door that had just been closed behind him opened again.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Liu Weicheng did not look back. Mistaking it for Zhao Xuanying, he spoke.
"I'll go in later. Studying also requires a balance between work and rest."
"..."
Got no response.
After the person behind him appeared on his right, Liu Weicheng looked out of the corner of his sight.
What caught his eye was the girl named Shen Yunli.
He still had a straight face.
Pretending to be serious seems to make her look more mature.
Faced with her behavior, Liu Weicheng had no intention of directly exposing her. Instead, he glanced at the other party and fell into silence, then continued to smoke the cigarette in his hand.
Time seemed to have stopped, except for the cicadas chirping outside the house.
"Do you like Zhao Xuanying?"
This game of whoever spoke first would lose, ultimately ended in Shen Yunli's defeat.
It was like an interrogation, and the tone revealed a full sense of vigilance.
Hearing such a question, Liu Weicheng turned his eyes to the other party, looking at the tight little face, recalling in his mind Zhao Xuanying's face that made people want to bully her.
Shake his head slightly.
"No, you are still underage anyway. I am not so hungry that I would attack the flowers of my motherland."
After flicking his cigarette butt, Liu Weicheng calmly gave the correct answer.
However, such an answer was obviously not enough to convince Shen Yunli. She was still suspicious and frowned, and her gaze at Liu Weicheng became sharper.
"I know you are lying. If you didn't like her, why did you agree to help her with tutoring? Is this of any benefit to you?"
"Then what kind of benefits do you think I can be tempted by?"
"It's either money or people."
Looking back at this old residential building, the traces of time can be seen on the walls. Shen Yunli's outlook on life seems a little abnormal.
In her opinion, it was very suspicious for Liu Weicheng, a mere neighbor, to take care of Zhao Xuanying.
Hearing what the other party said like an adult, Liu Weicheng felt ridiculous and at the same time wanted to laugh out loud.
He didn't know Shen Yunli's specific family situation, but judging from the character she showed, her parents probably rarely educated her. Perhaps it was because of the lack of companionship that she became so attached to her friend Zhao Xuanying.
Even in order to protect the other party, he plays the role of the villain himself.
Liu Weicheng seemed to be a little interested. After putting out the cigarette that was about to burn out in his hand, he looked at the girl confronting him in front of him.
He reached into his pocket and took out a lighter, then put his hands behind his back, and after exchanging them several times, he stretched out his hands.
The fist was clenched and presented in front of Shen Yunli.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke softly to the other person.
"Let me play a game with you. Do you know which hand I just put the lighter in? Left hand or right hand, you choose one."
"..."
Looking at the clenched hands in front of her, Shen Yunli raised her eyes and looked at Liu Weicheng.
His expression began to turn unpleasant.
She didn't know why the other party regarded her as a fool. She was clearly holding something in her left hand, which could be seen at a glance compared with her right hand.
Convinced that the lighter was in her left hand, she raised her finger, and then under her gaze, Liu Weicheng slowly opened his left hand.
Eyes widened.
Shen Yunli's tense expression finally changed. Seeing that there was nothing on Liu Weicheng's left hand, she subconsciously moved her eyes to her right hand.
But as he opened his right palm, there was still nothing.
The lighter seemed to disappear out of thin air, but she had witnessed it with her own eyes when Liu Weicheng took out the lighter just now.
How did the other party use the lighter...
"Look, you can't even see where I put the lighter, so how can you arbitrarily judge that I have other ideas?"
"you……"
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Shen Yunli looked at Liu Weicheng's empty hands, her eyes moved up and stopped on his face, looking at the smiling expression on the other person's face... the speed of his chest began to rise and fall faster.
It seemed that Liu Weicheng's teachings were unacceptable to her. After several rounds of gasping, Shen Yunli in front of her suddenly grabbed Liu Weicheng's left hand and tried to press it on his chest.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Liu Weicheng immediately used his strength to withdraw his grabbed hand.
There is a clear gap between the strength of adult men and underage girls.
Frowning, he was so frightened by Shen Yunli's action just now that he asked questions.
"What are you doing? Are you so angry that you want to frame me?"
"Are you sure you don't want to touch me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Moving his eyes downward, Liu Weicheng took a look at the size of the other party.
He prefers ripe watermelons to green apples.
Faced with this situation, he couldn't muster any energy.
