Chapter 9

"Hold on tight."

He Chen didn't care when he heard no sound from behind, and reminded her.

However, this sentence made Ruan Liuzheng, who was sitting in the back seat, very angry, but she thought of He Chen's sudden stop when entering the campus in the morning.

Although she knew he was helping Lin Miaomiao.

Not like those hooligans who deliberately accelerated and stopped suddenly to take advantage.

But hearing He Chen say this now, she still couldn't help but think too much.

What does it mean?

Is it implying that her figure is not as good as Qiu Ya's, and even taking advantage feels like a loss?

No elasticity, and it hurt you?

He Chen didn't expect this foster sister to have such a rich inner drama. He rode his bike straight into the residential complex, stopped under the building, turned to look, and found that her figure was long gone.

He locked the bike and was about to go upstairs to go home when he saw Lin Miaomiao standing by the window on the first floor, shouting at him loudly: "He Chen, come to my house for lunch! My mom specially made a lot of delicious food!"

"No need." He Chen refused politely.

"He Chen, come over, I've heard about it, thanks to you for helping Miaomiao today, Auntie is very grateful to you, you wouldn't dislike Auntie's craftsmanship, right?" Lin Miaomiao's mother also walked over, standing behind her daughter, smiling and greeting He Chen.

"Auntie, you are too polite." He Chen looked at this face of Lin Miaomiao's mother that made people feel close, and also smiled.

After all, he grew up watching My Own Swordsman, and he had watched it no less than twenty times, so he had a good impression of the charming Tong Xiang Yu, and subconsciously wouldn't treat her as an outsider.

"What about Ruan Liuzheng? I'll go call her!" Lin Miaomiao slapped her forehead and ran away in a flash, going upstairs to pull Ruan Liuzheng.

He Chen went upstairs to his room first. Seeing that Aunt Ruan wasn't there, Lin Miaomiao drilled into Ruan Liuzheng's boudoir and chattered to persuade her to go down together for a big meal. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Aunt Ruan.

As soon as the phone rang, the boudoir side quieted down.

He Chen said a few simple words and hung up the phone, saying to the two girls who were also waiting for news: "Aunt Ruan won't be back for lunch today, let's go bother Aunt Wang and Uncle Lin."

"Go, go!" Lin Miaomiao heard this and immediately pulled Ruan Liuzheng and walked out.

"Did Mom say anything else?" Ruan Liuzheng probed He Chen while walking out.

"Say what?" He Chen teased while following behind: "Would you be satisfied if Aunt Ruan scolded me?"

Ruan Liuzheng pouted, feeling more and more uncomfortable in her heart.

To contradict the teacher like that, no matter how right it was, she should have been scolded, but her mother didn't even mention it, what is this?

The partiality is too obvious.

Coming to the first floor, the house rented by Lin Miaomiao's family for accompanying studies, Lin Miaomiao's mother, Tong Shopkeeper... Wang Shengnan, was serving dishes from the kitchen one by one.

The table was full of various dishes, which truly deserved the name of a big meal.

"Sit, sit, Lin Miaomiao, you are responsible for greeting your classmates." Wang Shengnan said while greeting, and ordered her daughter: "Don't just focus on eating yourself!"

"They are all our own people, no need to be polite!" Lin Miaomiao said indifferently, but still pulled Ruan Liuzheng to sit beside her, very Indian-style, reached out and grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into her hand, urging Ruan Liuzheng to eat.

"Hurry up and taste my mom's roasted chicken, it's delicious!"

After some greetings, everyone started eating. While greeting, Wang Shengnan saw He Chen eating with relish, and asked with some pity: "Is Professor Ruan very busy usually? How do you eat?"

"We have always eaten in the university canteen before." He Chen explained: "Now that it's the senior year, after moving here, Aunt Ruan is prepared to continue bringing food from the canteen for us at noon. Today is mainly the start of school, and there was that incident in the morning, so there was no time."

"Professor Ruan is very similar to Qian Sanyi's mother upstairs." Wang Shengnan couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right!" Lin Miaomiao chewed with her mouth full, and didn't forget to complain about her own mother: "You don't even look at what Aunt Ruan and Aunt Pei look like!

Completely different from you.

In ancient times, they would be proper young ladies of a wealthy family, proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. How could they be involved with the kitchen."

"So I cook delicious food for you, a little foodie, all day long, and I'm smoked into an old mother by the oil smoke, and I'm still disliked by you for not being a young lady who doesn't touch the kitchen." Wang Shengnan glared at her daughter unhappily.

Lin Miaomiao immediately smiled and praised her mother as the best mother she loved most.

He Chen also smiled and echoed: "Who isn't a young lady of a wealthy family! If Aunt Wang were in ancient times, she would definitely be one too!"

Tong Shopkeeper was a proper young lady of a wealthy family back then.

The meal was eaten with joy, and He Chen and Lin Miaomiao directly swept away the food that Wang Shengnan had specially cooked a lot of.

Lin Miaomiao, who could eat, leaned on the chair holding her stomach, looking at He Chen, who was eating elegantly but with efficiency far exceeding hers, and whose stomach seemed to never be full, and showed a look of extreme admiration.

"He Chen, this is the first time I've met someone who can eat more than me, you're awesome!" Lin Miaomiao gave a thumbs up.

"It's mainly because the food Aunt Wang cooked is too delicious." He Chen smiled and complimented.

Actually, it was only after he refreshed the superpower "Crane Calculation and Tortoise Longevity" that his appetite started to explode.

"Being able to eat is a blessing! If you like it, Auntie will go and cook some more for you." Wang Shengnan was very happy and got up to add food for He Chen, but was persuaded by He Chen to stop.

After the meal, they chatted for a while, and He Chen said goodbye.

"Are you going back to practice martial arts? Turtle Breathing Technique?" Lin Miaomiao asked excitedly.

He Chen looked at Ruan Liuzheng and nodded to Lin Miaomiao.

Because the Immortal Crane Technique required finding a pine tree and practicing outdoors, it wasn't strange for people to know, but the Turtle Breathing Technique was a static and sleeping technique. If it weren't for Ruan Liuzheng saying it, it would be very difficult for outsiders to know.

Ruan Liuzheng avoided He Chen's gaze.

This was indeed passed out from her, but she only complained to her deskmate best friend Xia Xue, and didn't expect that it had already reached Lin Miaomiao's ears, and it was probably known to everyone.

He Chen refused Lin Miaomiao's request to follow and watch him practice the Turtle Breathing Technique on the grounds that it was a static technique, went upstairs to his bedroom, packed up, closed the door, sat cross-legged, and officially started practicing.

No school in the afternoon.

Ruan Liuzheng, who had finally dealt with the energetic Lin Miaomiao, lay on the bed and couldn't help but think about her worries. She couldn't accept that her mother didn't say a harsh word after He Chen did such a thing.

After finally waiting for her mother to come back in the evening, and He Chen was still practicing under the pine tree, she leaned beside Ruan Lu, acted like a spoiled child for a while, and then tentatively asked about this matter.

"Why blame He Chen?" Ruan Lu looked at her adopted daughter, her gaze strange: "His approach is very masculine and has a manly spirit. This is what a real man should be! He didn't live up to his heroic face, and he is the pillar of the family! I was already very polite and restrained not to praise him in front of your teachers."

"..." Ruan Liuzheng only felt very aggrieved and absurd.

Her mother's education for her wasn't like this.

If she dared to contradict the teacher like He Chen, her mother would definitely not have this reaction.

And what pillar of the family?

She was her mother's daughter, and she was also adopted. Even the adoption procedures for He Chen hadn't been handled. More accurately, he was just an outsider staying temporarily. How did he cross her, the only child in the family, and become the pillar of the family?

Is her mother not distinguishing between inside and outside?

Ruan Lu looked at her daughter's aggrieved and charming face, but her brows furrowed, and she smoothed her daughter's clothes, buttoned them tightly, and reminded her again: "He Chen is your brother, you must always remember this!"
