Tong Wen was speechless at the scene.
Shen Ci found it amusing, but he didn’t want to bring trouble to Xia Ping’s family, so he went upstairs with a cold and arrogant air.
Only when his figure had disappeared did Xia Ping speak, "Could Yueyue be bullied by him?"
Tong Wen looked up in thought, "Yueyue is so tough, she won’t be. Even if she is, it’s because she’s willing."
"Willing? Why do you say that?"
"If she weren’t willing, even if she couldn’t refuse his pursuit, she wouldn’t be so nice to him."
"You’re right, but that makes me even more worried."
Being deceived by appearances is bad enough, but being deceived both by appearances and emotions... that would be even worse.
Tong Wen, "...Let’s take the opportunity to remind Yueyue at some point."
"Okay. Even though he’s my cousin, I firmly stand on Yueyue’s side."
Xia Ping genuinely liked Meng Chuyue.
Since they met, Meng Chuyue had not only done many impressive things, but also hadn’t done even one thing to lower her esteem.
In her heart, she was nothing short of perfect.
Shen Ci hadn’t taken away the test papers last night, saying he would come over to do them today.
Since he was so good at studies and worked quickly, Meng Chuyue naturally had no objections.
After breakfast, Shen Ci began to work on the remaining test papers.
This year, the college entrance exam in Hai City had a "three plus one" pattern.
The three mandatory subjects were Chinese, mathematics, and English, and the one was an elective chosen from the other four subjects: physics, chemistry, political science, and history.
Since Meng Chuyue’s intention in creating test papers for Shen Ci was not to assess but to improve his college entrance exam scores, she prepared one of each.
Shen Ci had completed two yesterday, leaving five. He started with chemistry.
Although he claimed he didn’t favor any subjects, she still had some doubts...
Not wanting to disturb Shen Ci, Meng Chuyue washed the dishes, prepared a fruit platter for him, and placed it to the side, then went downstairs to help out.
From nine to ten in the morning and two to five in the afternoon were relatively quiet times in the store.
Just after nine, having arranged for customers in the store to eat their fruit salads, the three girls sat at the cashier’s desk to rest.
Seeing a rare opportunity, Tong Wen nudged Xia Ping and whispered to Meng Chuyue, "Yueyue, Xiao Ping says Shen Ci is a bit of a rascal. I think you’d better stay away from him in the future."
Xia Ping nodded vigorously, "Yes, I’ve seen him fight with people, and he was fiercely aggressive. Although he’s my cousin and hasn’t done anything to harm our family, to tell the truth, Yueyue, now that you’re single and attractive, it’s really not suitable for you to be too close to him."
Meng Chuyue pressed her lips together and laughed for a while before saying, "I know he used to be a bit of a rascal, but he has reformed now. He came here to be tutored by me, planning to continue his studies."
Meng Chuyue didn’t dare to say that Shen Ci was preparing for this year’s college entrance exam, worried that the Shen Family might find out and sabotage it.
With the college entrance exam only a few days away, Tong Wen and Xia Ping felt that it was too late for Shen Ci to prepare for this year’s exam, and that it must be next year’s he was aiming for, which caused them more anxiety.
Tong Wen looked distressed, "Which high school are you planning to attend?"
"Of course, it’s Hai City First High School right across from ours."
"Was he previously at that high school as well?"
"Yes," Meng Chuyue replied with feigned puzzlement but still patiently.
Xia Ping jumped in to add, "He definitely has ulterior motives. He’s not trying to go to university; he’s looking for opportunities to get close to you. Yueyue, listen to me, you must stay away from him."
Meng Chuyue thought for a moment, then nodded, "I know, thank you both."
Tong Wen and Xia Ping, "..."
Suddenly they didn’t know what to say.
If Meng Chuyue had defended Shen Ci, they had a whole host of reasons to discuss with her.
But now... what could they say?
Say her response was half-hearted?
Forget it, they’d observe for a few more days before deciding.
