Chapter 133 The Little Things About Living Together

The two children thus began living together.

At first, Shen Xi and Xiao Jiangci had separate rooms, but from the day they were assigned rooms, Xiao Jiangci refused to leave Shen Xi's bed no matter what.

That day, the young master shamelessly acted spoiled for the first time. That night, he stubbornly lay on Shen Xi's misty blue bed, covered his head with the quilt, and held the quilt tightly with his little hands, not moving an inch.

Just as Shen Xi stood at the head of the bed with her hands on her hips, staring at him with a death stare, Xiao Jiangci happened to peek out. When he met Shen Xi's gaze, his skin was still a bit too thin, and instantly, his whole face turned red from his ears to the top of his head, and he looked like he was bubbling in sparkling water.

Shen Xi looked down at him, and she was indeed thinking to herself.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate? But this kid doesn't understand anything. Yeah, what does a child know?

After agonizing for a long time, Shen Xi sighed. Within minutes, she gave in.

Oh, he's still a child, he doesn't understand anything.

Finally, the storm passed and the sun shone through for Xiao Jiangci. Shen Xi relented and let him sleep in her bed.

But Shen Xi is a natural night owl; she gets restless if she doesn't get up and touch her phone in the middle of the night, even if there's nothing else on her phone that can attract her.

Jiang Hui provided Shen Xi with a complete set of things, including all kinds of electronic products. Hua Lan took her to various expensive luxury stores to buy all kinds of clothes, including men's clothing, because Shen Xi actually quite liked wearing men's clothes, which gave her a novel feeling.

Returning to the topic, Shen Xi took out her phone, turned off the light facing Xiao Jiangci, opened a short video app, and happily started making various videos.

Less than three minutes later, with a "snap,"

The entire room suddenly lit up, startling Shen Xi. She blankly put down her phone and looked up to see Xiao Jiangci with red eyes, pursing his lips and looking at her accusingly.

Accusations?!

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes. Something's not right with this kid.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you turning on the light in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Jiangci lowered his eyes and stared at her phone, his gaze darkening. "You've been playing on your phone the whole time and haven't talked to me at all."

Shen Xi almost laughed in anger after hearing this. She simply sat up and looked directly into his big eyes. "Little boy, who gave you permission to be so possessive? You even have the nerve to tell me what to do about me playing on my phone in the middle of the night. I play on my phone in the middle of the night because I saved up money by not playing on my phone during the day. You can tell me whatever you want, but you can't tell me what to do about my phone... or my money."

After saying that, Shen Xi mentally reviewed what she had said. There was nothing wrong with it. What boyfriend would stop you from playing on your phone when you were a kid?

Even if Jiang Ci were a fairy, it wouldn't work.

Xiao Jiangci's face was pale. He shifted his gaze from his phone to Shen Xi's face, staring at her for a long time. Finally, he lowered his head and said softly, "Then you can watch it with me."

Shen Xi thought to herself, "What is this? Are we going to admire the 188cm male model on my phone together? Or admire the 'borderline' little dog I accidentally clicked on? If Uncle Hat finds out we're looking at these things together, won't he arrest us both?"

Oh, that's nothing, the important thing is that he's still a child!

A cell phone is a good thing, and the browsing history on a cell phone is an even better thing. Shen Xi must not let the cell phone fall into the hands of others, even before she dies.

So, Shen Xi forced a smile, patted the bed next to him, and said, "Let's just go to sleep. Staying up late will hurt your health and stunt your growth..."

She made up a bunch of excuses and finally managed to coax and trick Xiao Jiangci into going to bed and turning off the lights.

People who stay up late usually have one advantage: they can fall asleep instantly after putting down their phones. Shen Xi was no exception, which led to her falling into a deep sleep without realizing it just two minutes after lying down.

She groggily smacked her lips and felt a hand quietly wrap around her waist. Shen Xi moved slightly, but didn't move away, and just made do with falling asleep.

Early the next morning,

Hua Lan brought her tutor to Shen Xi and encouraged Shen Xi to start...learning to read.

That's absolutely insane.

Because in their minds, they were pitiful nobodys, spending their days scavenging for scraps with a tattered bag just to fill their stomachs, with no time for self-reflection. While that wasn't entirely untrue, Shen Xi was now a 21st-century university student with a degree from a top-tier university, and now they wanted her to learn to read… well, she would.

And so, Shen Xi entered the ocean of words.

Hua Lan listened to the tutor's conversation with Shen Xi for a while outside the door and found that there were no problems, so she left the space for the teacher and student to communicate.

She slowly walked downstairs and saw her son sitting upright on the sofa, staring at the two phones in front of him, as if he were engrossed in some deep-seated hatred, staring intently at them.

"What's wrong? Is your phone broken?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Jiangci looked up, glanced at his phone, then at his mother, his expression unusually hesitant.

Hua Lan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Something was wrong. When had this child ever shown such hesitation? He was always so calm and collected, even if the sky were to fall.

You have to admit, she looks quite cute now.

She pretended to be nonchalant, picked up a fashion magazine, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Looks like nothing's wrong."

Xiao Jiangci was a beat slow in her movements, her little hands slowly clutching the hem of her clothes. Her eyes went back to her phone, remembering the scandalous men on her sister's phone last night. She pursed her lips and spoke in a serious tone,

"My sister went to bed a little late last night."

"Oh? Why is that? And how did Xiao Ci know?" Hua Lan immediately put down her magazine and listened attentively when she heard that it was related to Shen Xi.

Xiao Jiangci casually revealed, "My sister was covered by the blanket at night, and the light hurt her eyes, so her eyes hurt."

This statement was very cunning; it was meant to guide Hua Lan's thinking. Shen Xi said in the morning that her eyes hurt because she was playing on her phone under the covers in the middle of the night. The next day, she unintentionally complained about it to Jiang Ci, and then Hua Lan happened to find out.

Jiang Ci did not lie from beginning to end, but Chinese culture is profound and extensive. Three short sentences can be combined to form many different meanings, depending entirely on how the listener interprets them.

Hua Lan nodded her forehead in slight distress. Was Xiao Xi a girl who liked to play on her phone at night?

She considers herself a kind and gentle mother. Her children have complete control over their phones, and she never questions how they use them or tries to pry into their privacy.

It's fine for Xiaoxi to play, but playing at night might affect her sleep, since her body is already lacking in nutrition and her constitution is weak.

But then she thought about it again and felt a pang of pity. She sighed. What could she do? The child had never been exposed to this before; perhaps he was just looking for something new.

But when Shen Xi returned from her voyage through the ocean of knowledge, everything had changed.

Hua Lan held a small family meeting. She sat alone on a sofa, holding a teacup, and slowly sipped her tea.

Xiao Jiangci and Shen Xi sat opposite her.

"Since prolonged use of mobile phones can affect the physical and visual health of the two children, I have decided to implement a voting system to collect their mobile phones before 9 p.m. Do you support this? Please raise your hand if you do."

Shen Xi was struck dumb. She wondered blankly, "How could I not support it?"

That's definitely not possible!

But she pinned her hopes on Jiang Ci, her peach blossom eyes gazing longingly at little Jiang Ci. As a result, the little boy, who was usually as still as a signal tower, sat there motionless this time and raised his little hand with righteous indignation.

His gaze was as firm as when he joined the Party.
