Chapter 71

"Samson Nan"

Mom wiped her hands with a towel and called out to him.

"What is it?"

He was clearing the plates on the table.

"Come here."

She mysteriously beckoned him.

"I'm asking you, did you do something to your sister?"

"Yu Yu?"

"Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

He paused and looked at her.

"Since you took her to the swimming pool today, I felt something was off..."

"Really?"

He turned around and glanced at Raina Nan sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Well, she didn't eat the watermelon I bought, saying she didn't have the appetite. And then I told her to go upstairs to do her homework, but she said she was tired and wanted to rest..."

"..."

"What's going on? Did you scold her?"

"No."

"Then what happened?"

Mom showed a worried expression.

"Mom, don't worry too much. Maybe she really just wasn't in the mood to eat..."

"Alright...Samson Nan, let me tell you, you have to keep an eye on her. The final exams are next week, and after this summer vacation, it will be her senior year..."

When it comes to her daughter, this mom just can't stop talking.

"Hey, are you even listening?"

"Huh?"

He drifted off, seemingly lost in thought.

"You were saying~"

"And also, that classmate who is close to her, what's her name...Tong...Tong something?"

"Bell Tong?"

"Yeah, Bell Tong. I heard this child is not a good student. What if Raina learns bad habits from her after being around her for a long time?"

Mom became more and more excited as she spoke.

He sighed lightly, feeling sorry for all the parents in the world. That's what she's talking about.

"Mom."

His voice interrupted Mom's endless chatter.

"As for Raina..."

He thought for a moment and then looked up.

"Don't judge her by appearances. Actually, she is quite sensible and knows what she should do..."

"Is that so?"

Mom looked at him in disbelief.

"Well, you see, nowadays many high school girls dye their hair, paint their nails, and go to bars. Raina is not bad compared to them..."

"It seems so..."

She successfully changed the subject.

"What were you talking about?"

He turned around and Raina Nan was already standing behind him.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Nonchalantly, he threw the question to Mom.

"Huh?"

Mom looked at him with surprise.

"Oh, it's about that. I was just thinking about introducing a potential partner to your brother. Hehe."

"Huh?"

He looked at Mom, confused. Mom turned her head and started washing the dishes, indifferent to the matter.

"Excuse me."

"Huh?"

She didn't look at him, but at someone beside her.

"You're blocking my way."

"Oh."

He stepped aside.

As he watched her walk past and into the bathroom, she closed the door with a bang.

"..."

Such strong spiritual pressure.

"Samson Nan, big brother."

Someone was tugging at his sleeve, and he lowered his head.

"What's wrong?"

"I need to pee."

Wanwan lowered her head shyly, a bit embarrassed.

"..."

He paused, of all times.

"Well...someone is in the bathroom."

"But, but, I can't hold it any longer..."

Blushing, she whispered.

"Is that so?"

He thought for a moment.

"Come with me."

He said, took Wanwan's hand, and walked to the bathroom door.

Knock knock knock.

Knocking on the door.

"There's someone here."

Her voice came from inside.

Knock knock knock.

Knocking again.

"Mom?"

"It's me."

"Go away."

...

An expected reaction.

"Sister, I need to go to the toilet..."

"Wanwan?"

"Yeah.""Wait, just wait a moment."

...

Is this what they call unequal treatment?

"Yuyu, are you feeling better now?"

"M-Moment, just a moment..."

"Wanwan is not doing well."

"Huh?"

"No other choice, let's resolve it here."

"Huh? Wait, wait a moment!"

A sound of something falling to the ground came from inside.

This reaction, because of sinking thoughts.

In less than half a minute,

Whoosh,

The sound of the toilet flushing.

The door immediately opened.

"Where's Wanwan?"

She anxiously looked around.

"Sister..."

Wanwan was standing right in front of her.

She was still, everything was fine...

"..."

She looked up and looked at him.

Wanwan felt something was wrong, quietly walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.

"Um... ouch!"

As soon as he spoke, he was punched in the stomach.

He looked up, her face was already as red as a monkey's butt.

"Is that fun?!"

She said, forcefully pushing him away, then walked past him.

"Hey, did you wash your hands, little one!"

He pretended to be disgusted and patted his clothes.

"..."

She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

After half a second, she ran towards the kitchen.

"Ew~~~"

"Crazy person!!"

Her angry roar came from the kitchen.

...

He sighed.

With so much energy, it seems there's no problem.

He lifted his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's not early.

...

When she came out of the kitchen, he was already gone.

Has he gone back already...

"That idiot..."

She murmured softly, turned around, and walked towards her room.

...

Monday.

"That was close, so close~"

Bell Tong almost stepped into the classroom when the early self-study bell rang.

She sat down at her seat, took a book, and fanned herself non-stop.

It seems she ran all the way here.

"Yuyu~"

She poked Raina Nan's back with her finger.

"What?"

Raina Nan didn't turn around and took out some books from the drawer.

"Hehe~"

Bell Tong laughed strangely.

"If it's about homework, do it yourself."

"Who wants to see your homework? Don't delude yourself! I've done mine!"

Really strange, Bell Tong actually did her own homework.

"I have a question for you."

She smiled and leaned close to Raina Nan's ear.

"What did you do over the weekend?"

"Went to the swimming pool."

"Huh~ unexpectedly honest~ Was it with Fengge?"

"It's not something shameful... How did you know?"

"I happened to pass by and saw it."

She smiled, chin resting on her hand.

"Is that so? Then why didn't you come along..."

"Heh, forget it."

Bell Tong waved her hand.

With a bitter smile, she glanced at her own northeastern plains.

If she went, she would probably be ridiculed by someone and made fun of.

...

"Raina Nan, Bell Tong,"

At this time, William Wei walked over.

"The two of you, come to the office with me."

They glanced at each other.

What's the matter? Can't guess.

"Oh."

They stood up and walked towards the office.

...

"Um, do you know what's going on with Roxie Lin?"

William Wei sat there, tapping the desk with his fingers.

"Ruo Xi? What happened to her?"

"She took leave."

"Huh?"

Why didn't she mention it?

Now that it's mentioned, she realized that she really didn't see her this morning.

"Is she sick?"

"Don't know."

William Wei said and took out his phone.

"I received a call this morning, it was from Roxie Lin, saying that she wants to take a week off.""One week? Why?" Bell Tong slammed the table and asked.

"I didn't have a chance to ask, she hung up the phone before I could, and when I called back, the line was busy," he replied.

"What?" Raina Nan frowned as she looked at him. Roxie Lin wasn't the type of student to miss class without reason. If they thought about it, there must be something going on.

"So I wanted to ask if you know where she lives?"

"Where she lives..." They looked at each other.

Come to think of it, they had never been to Roxie Lin's house before.

Bell Tong had suggested several times before to go to her house to hang out, but she always made excuses to brush it off.

"Don't you know?"

"Well..."

"Alright, forget it. I'm just a little worried, so it's probably nothing serious," he said with a sigh.

"..."

Seeing them bury their heads, William Wei spoke again, "I'll ask someone else to see if there's another way to contact her."

"Please, Mr. Wei..."

"Yeah, don't think too much about it. You guys go back to class."

"Yeah."

But... how could they not worry...

...

And it seemed that their worries were not unfounded.

...

The next day, when Raina Nan tried dialing Roxie Lin's phone number again, it had already become disconnected.
