Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Chance Encounter Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Chance Encounter Before they knew it, the seven-day National Day holiday had arrived.
Shen Zhaozhao was also forced into crazy problem-solving mode.
Halfway through the exam papers, she saw Sheng Chuyi’s phone screen light up.
Sheng Chuyi picked up his phone and saw a message from “The Most Handsome Guy in Jiu Middle School” that read, “National Day, come out and have fun! Today is our motherland’s birthday, not coming out would be disrespectful to our mom.”
Sheng Chuyi glanced at the little girl next to him and tapped two words on the screen in reply, “Not going.”
“What’s up?” Shen Zhaozhao noticed his gaze and looked up.
“Nothing, just focus on your problems,” Sheng Chuyi gently tapped on the desk.
“Oh!” Shen Zhaozhao drooped her head, each letter she wrote, her body cells revolted.
Why do they have to solve problems during the holiday?
Shen Zhaozhao set down her exam papers and cajoled, “Why don’t we go out and play?”
Shen Zhaozhao immediately nodded her head vigorously like a pecking chick.
“Alright, finish all these problems, and you can go out and play.”
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the thick stack of Olympic Mathematics simulation papers in front of her, “Forget it, it’s not that fun outside anyway.”
So many exam papers, she couldn’t finish them even if she stayed up all night for three days.
He clearly had no intention of letting her go out.
During the seven-day holiday, the two of them crammed competition simulation questions at home for six days. On the seventh day, Shen Zhaozhao was awoken by her biological clock and came downstairs like a ghost.
Sheng Chuyi was dressed in a black tracksuit, ready to go out. Upon seeing Shen Zhaozhao coming downstairs, he called out to her, “Come over for breakfast now that you’re awake.”
“Oh!” Shen Zhaozhao shuffled sluggishly to the dining table and sat down.
Just thinking about having to solve more problems after made everything seem tasteless.
Sheng Chuyi looked at her and said, “No more problems for today!”
“Really?” Shen Zhaozhao suddenly looked up at him, her eyes brightened, her face showing disbelief.
This guy is being nice today?
Sheng Chuyi nodded, “Yeah, after breakfast I’ll take you out for a run to clear your mind!”
She would rather stay home and do problems!
Shen Zhaozhao’s face brightened for less than a second before sagging again, “Can I not go?” She slumped in her chair like a deflated balloon, looking listless and boneless.
She just wanted to lie down at home and do nothing.
“No!” Sheng Chuyi refused mercilessly.
“Not even Boss Zhou is as harsh as you!”
Shen Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and ferociously bit into a steamed bun, as if it were Sheng Chuyi, venting all her frustration on it.
After breakfast, Shen Zhaozhao was dragged out the door.
There was an artificial lake behind the villa, and they jogged along its shore.
Since it was a holiday, there were quite a few people out exercising.
The two started off keeping pace together, but gradually, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t keep up.
“I can’t keep up, I need to rest a bit; you go ahead!” Shen Zhaozhao, hands on her hips, gasped for air and called out to Sheng Chuyi ahead of her.
“Then just walk slowly, don’t stop,” Sheng Chuyi advised.
“Got it!” Shen Zhaozhao agreed readily, and once Sheng Chuyi was out of sight, she immediately found a spot to lie down.
Indeed, lying down was the most comfortable position in the world.
Shen Zhaozhao lay there for a while, figuring that he was about to complete his round, and then slowly got up.
She then heard a familiar voice from behind, “Hey, what a coincidence!”
