Chapter 26: Prepare for a rainy day

When they saw something exciting, Tian Zhen and Zheng Yan would call Chen Qiao to share their thoughts and talk about how cool it was.

“Yeah.” Chen Qiao replied perfunctorily, “I’ve already watched this episode. The next one is…””Stop, stop, stop. Don’t spoil the plot.”

The two of them called out in unison, and from then on they did not disturb Chen Qiao, enjoying the peace and quiet.

Beep, beep, the familiar penguin reminder sound rang out, and my sister’s penguin avatar was flashing again.

“You naughty brother, I caught you sneaking online again, didn’t you?”

“I am fair and upright.”

Not even stealth.

“Are you not afraid that I will tell Feifei?”

“My sister knew it a long time ago.” Chen Qiao said fearlessly.

“I hope you can be so tough when you go home tonight.”

“Sister Zhirou, you should worry about yourself. Maybe the dean is peeping outside the window.”

“How do you know my name? Feifei must have told you, right?”

“That’s right.”

Then there was no response, and Chen Qiao didn’t take it to heart.

He continued to enter the content of the novel.

Half an hour later, the female penguin avatar flashed again.

“You are such a bad-mouthed person! I looked back and saw that the math teacher was really peeking outside the window, like a ghost. Luckily, I was sitting in the fourth row by the window, and Feifei was there to block my view, so I wasn’t discovered.”

“There was a boy in the first row who was caught reading a novel. The novel was torn in half. It was so tragic. It was rented. Not only did he lose his deposit, but he was also taken to the office for a lecture. He was so unlucky.”

“Shouldn’t you thank me for reminding you? Otherwise, you would be the one whose phone was smashed by the teacher.”

“How do you know there’s a teacher outside the window?”

“Guess.”

The Dean of Studies, Zheng Guangxia, who is also my sister’s current math teacher, was also Chen Qiao’s math teacher when she was in the third grade of junior high school.

He is considered one of the few outstanding teachers in the middle school.

He is also known for his bad temper and likes to launch sneak attacks during evening self-study.

When Chen Qiao was in the third year of junior high school, the mobile phone ownership rate in the class was already very high.

At least more than half of the students had a mobile phone.

The worst was Nokia’s color candy bar phone, and the more advanced ones were Android, Apple and Nokia smartphones.

Nokia was already a spent force and had to rely on Microsoft to make mobile phones.

Zheng Guangxia had confiscated quite a few mobile phones.

If he wanted to get his SIM card back, he would inevitably be scolded.

The Nokia bar-screen phones were the worst.

He would just throw them around as a warning to others, because they were not easy to break.

If a smartphone was broken, even he would have a hard time explaining it.

However, confiscated mobile phones can only be returned after graduation.

If you want to get them back at the end of the semester, you have to ask your parents to come.

“I think so. By the way, I was interrupted by the teacher just now. You know my name, but I don’t know what your brother’s name is.”

“Why not just ask my sister?”

“I asked her, but she refused to tell me. What a stingy person! Unfortunately, I’m an only child and don’t have any brothers or sisters to exchange information with her.”

“My name is Chen Qiao. We are even now, right?”

“My name is Xia Zhirou. I’m a student in Class 4, Grade 2 of Lanhe Junior High School. I’m fourteen years old this year. My student number is 07. My hometown is Wenquan Village…””Sister Zhirou, please don’t disclose so much private information online. It’s very dangerous.”

I don’t know if Xia Zhirou was the only victim in the landslide, but she had a cell phone and was a boarding student.

Although Chen Qiao did not know the exact date of the accident, he roughly remembered the time range.

During the period from the afternoon school to the beginning of evening self-study, as long as his sister did not come home for dinner, Chen Qiao would immediately call Xia Zhirou, as there was a landline at home.

The question was, would she believe what Chen Qiao said?

Would she keep his secret afterwards?

There wasn’t much time for Chen Qiao to get along with her, as the accident would happen next week or the week after.

Or should I ask my sister to tell him?

Even if my sister didn’t understand what he said, she would at least do it under his strong insistence and urgent tone.

“You are not an outsider. I won’t even approve a stranger’s friend request. You are Feifei’s brother. Hurry up, it’s your turn to speak. How old are you this year?”

This tone seems like someone is trying to coax a child.

Nowadays, many people like to chat with strangers online, or reply to messages in drifting bottles for fun.

“I think he’s twelve. If you want to know anything else, just ask my sister. I have other things to do.”

“Busy playing games, right? Believe it or not, I’ll show the chat history to Feifei right now.”

“It’s boring to keep threatening people with reporting you. You’re not a primary school student.”

“You are the elementary school student.”

“I’m such a primary school kid.”

“Please chat with me for a while. I’m so bored. I can’t disturb Feifei from studying.”

Xia Zhirou acted coquettishly.

“You still have some conscience. If you’re bored, go study.”

“It’s because studying is boring.”

“What’s Sister Zhirou’s cell phone number?”

“Are you going to call me?”

“Yes.”

You can make a 59-second phone call with this little charge and you won’t get hit.

But if you use it to order cartoons on demand, you will get hit.

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

“The teacher is here again.”

Xia Zhirou finally calmed down.

I hope she won’t be caught, otherwise Chen Qiao’s plan will be ruined.

Chen Qiao also switched his sister’s Penguin to invisible mode.

After all, Internet fees are not cheap.

Saving lives is important, and making money is also important.

Without making money, you cannot save yourself.

The Internet fee is not cheap, so you should hurry up and input the novel so that you can enhance your relationship offline.

“You lied to me, little brother!”

An angry Hong Wen expression was also attached.

In the middle school classroom, outside the window was the noisy chirping of cicadas in the back hills.

Xia Zhirou leaned against the cold wall in the night breeze and smiled softly, “Fei Fei, your brother is really interesting.”

“You talked to him again?”

“Um.”

“I’ll teach him a lesson when I get home.”

“He also said he wasn’t afraid of you.”

Xia Zhirou finally realized that if she wanted to chat with Chen Feifei in class, she could only talk about her younger brother besides the content of their studies.

“Hmm, what did you guys talk about?”

At half past nine, the boss’s wife knocked on the door and shouted, “It’s been three hours. You have to get off the plane. If you don’t go home, your parents will call the police to find you. Three, oh, two machines. You have to pay another two dollars.”

Originally, Zheng Yan also turned on a computer to watch cartoons, but later he felt that it was inconvenient to discuss, so they sat together, each wearing a headset, turned off the other computer, and saved money.

Chen Qiao immediately took out two dollars and gave them to the proprietress.

He got a great deal tonight as he only spent two dollars to enter all the contents of fifteen chapters of the novel.

It seemed like a lot, but if he updated it twice a day, it would not last for a few days, and the efficiency of handwriting and entering it was still too low.

After receiving the first payment for my manuscript, I had to get a low-spec computer, as long as it could be used for typing, and I could use it even if I couldn’t connect to the Internet.

I could just take a USB drive to an Internet cafe and upload my novels.

The three of them walked out of the convenience store compartment, but didn’t see Fang Mengjia.

She must have gone to sleep.

“I’ll treat you next time you come online.”

Zheng Yan said, patting his chest.

After walking out of the Internet cafe, Tian Zhen was already trying to persuade his family to buy a computer.

His father had a laptop, but it was filled with government documents and he didn’t dare to touch it.

“If you do well in the exam, you’ll have a chance.””well……”In Tian Zhen’s parents’ eyes, doing well in the exam means not only getting the first place in the class, but also scoring higher than Wu Xinyu.

That’s impossible, absolutely impossible.

The three of them waved goodbye at the crossroads; their homes were in different directions.

Chen Qiao had just reached the door of his house, swinging his sore arms all the way, when a dark shadow rushed out from the night, hugged him from behind, and pushed Chen Qiao forward a few steps.

Who else could it be but my sister?

She ran all the way back, panting and pinching Chen Qiao’s cheek as she asked, “Huhaha… where did you go to play when you weren’t at home so late?”

“It’s a black internet cafe. Tian Zhen and Zheng Yan asked me to go there to play.”

Chen Qiao said truthfully and promptly pulled out the scapegoat.

It was obvious that he was sold out by Xia Zhirou.

“Don’t you have an exam tomorrow? Don’t you want a sister anymore?”

Chen Feifei is now completely confused about what her brother is thinking.

He studies so hard in the morning and is so indulgent at night. Isn’t there any change in this?

“Relax before the test. I’m confident I can pass it.”

Although it was only a Grade 6 exam, it was related to the birth of his younger sister and his mother’s health, so it had to be treated seriously.

Chen Qiao went over all the important knowledge points of the exam.”oh……””Also, you are not allowed to chat with Zhirou in the future.”

“Why?”

“It affects her studies.”

It’s true that my sister and Xia Zhirou should be good friends.

After all, they are both in the best friends category, unless Xia Zhirou grouped them like this on her own initiative.

But since they can pull such a prank, their relationship must be extraordinary.

Is this a manifestation of the sister’s possessiveness over her brother?

“I’m sweaty and sticky. I’m going to take a shower first.”

“Wait until you’ve finished sweating before taking a shower, otherwise you’ll easily catch a cold.”

“Oh yeah, have you washed your clothes? Have you taken a shower yet?”

Chen Feifei buried her face in Chen Qiao’s shoulder and sniffed.

Chen Qiao had been exercising regularly recently and had a strong smell of sweat. “yes.”

“You just want to play. Go take a shower first.” “good……”Chen Qiao drew some hot water and went to take a shower obediently.

The thought of taking a shower together flashed through his mind, but of course he couldn’t say it out loud.

Sleeping with his sister was like a dream, so he shouldn’t be too greedy.

In order to prevent his sister’s bedtime from being delayed too late, Chen Qiao took a bath as quickly as possible.

“You washed it so quickly, did you really wash it properly?”

Chen Feifei asked with disdain.

Chen Qiao was afraid that his sister would have to help him wash again, but that didn’t happen.

He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

While his sister was taking a shower, Chen Qiao picked up the phone and dialed Xia Zhirou’s cell phone number.

Xia Zhirou should not be asleep at this time, right?

Beep, beep, beep——”Hello, is this Xia Zhirou?”

“Hey, little brother? Chen Qiao? Did you really call me?”

Yeah, the sound is pretty nice.

“I mean what I say.”

“You sound quite arrogant online, but I didn’t expect your voice in real life to be so tender, pupupupu…” Xia Zhirou chuckled.

“I’m an elementary school student!”

“Where’s your sister?”

“I’m taking a shower.”

“Showering so late? How will your hair dry out? I don’t dare to wash my hair so late. If I go to bed with my hair wet, my hair will look like a bird’s nest when I wake up tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll help my sister blow dry her hair.”

“Wow, he’s still a good brother.”

“Have you ever been scolded by Feifei?”

“No.”

“Tsk, Feifei said she wanted to teach you a lesson.”

Xia Zhirou has a new understanding of Chen Qiao’s position in Chen Feifei’s heart.

“It’s enough to know your phone number is correct. Stop playing with your phone and go to bed early. Good night.”

“Wait a minute, I haven’t said anything yet…”Chen Qiao hung up the phone immediately because it was almost a minute old.

“You naughty little brother, just wait for me.”

Xia Zhirou said gritting her teeth.

She had already planned to teach this arrogant little brother a lesson offline.
