Chapter 395: Chapter 395: You Might Easily Lose Me Chapter 395: Chapter 395: You Might Easily Lose Me Backing out is simply not an option, but…
Shen Zhaozhao looked over at the other with a faint gaze and said, “You’re very likely to lose me this way.”
Sheng Chuyi raised his hand and rubbed her head, “If you can pass CET-4, I’ll grant you any wish you have. How about that?”
Is this a case of a beating followed by a sweet date?
However, Shen Zhaozhao still couldn’t help but be tempted, “Any wish?”
Sheng Chuyi: “Yes, any wish.”
If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem too bad.
As for the wish, she needed to think it over properly.
Would it be okay to ask to see his abs?
Even better if she could take a picture!
Shen Zhaozhao was consumed with thoughts about what to request after passing the CET-4 so she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
As for the possibility of failing the CET-4, Shen Zhaozhao never even considered it; after all, he hadn’t said she had to pass this very time. Even if she didn’t pass now, there was always the next chance, so she wouldn’t lose out either way.
Shen Zhaozhao’s mental abacus clacked away merrily.
Sheng Chuyi, seeing her eyes darting about, reached out and pinched her cheek, “Up to some mischief again?”
This girl had never been one to make an effort voluntarily since she was little. To get her to study properly, dangling a carrot in front of her was a must.
“Not at all!” Shen Zhaozhao sat up straight and said, “You said it yourself just now, as long as I pass the CET-4, you’ll agree to any request. You wouldn’t be thinking of going back on your word, would you?”
“I wouldn’t.” Sheng Chuyi said, “Anything I promise you, I’ll do.”
“Good, with your word, I can rest easy.” Shen Zhaozhao then took out a CET-4 study book, “Let’s start studying now!”
But she had only looked at two pages when her eyelids began to fight a battle.
Shortly after, the steady sound of breathing followed.
Sheng Chuyi looked at her, a glimmer of helplessness crossing his face, carefully took the book from her hands, rose, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom.
Shen Zhaozhao slept sweetly, completely oblivious.
The next morning, the knocking on the door woke Shen Zhaozhao.
Opening her eyes, she stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, her mind blank for a moment.
“Zhaozhao, time to get up!”
Only when she heard Sheng Chuyi’s voice from the door did Shen Zhaozhao’s consciousness return. She remembered that she had moved out last night, and this was Sheng Chuyi’s rented place.
Shen Zhaozhao hugged the blanket, rolling over in the bed before reluctantly leaving her warm cocoon to get up and wash.
In the dining room, Sheng Chuyi had already made breakfast and was setting out bowls and chopsticks. When he saw her come out, he called out, “Did you sleep well last night?”
She had slept straight through to morning, enjoying a very good quality of sleep.
Shen Zhaozhao sat down at the dining table, recalling how she had fallen asleep in this very spot last night, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty, “I accidentally fell asleep last night. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Sheng Chuyi: “Are you sure that would have been effective?”
Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help feeling a bit sheepish, “I was just really tired yesterday. I’ll definitely study hard tonight,” she pledged.
Her promises, usually, weren’t worth much.
But Sheng Chuyi knew not to push her too hard; if he did, she might just throw in the towel completely.
“Mhm, let’s have breakfast first!”
To get her to study diligently, he couldn’t be impatient. It had to be a gradual, gentle persuasion.
Sheng Chuyi felt like he had become a father before even getting married.
Well, one could say it was practice in advance.
