Chapter 148: Why Are You Crying?

Xiao Shitou really has a bit of favoritism toward Shi Lin.

Qiao Sheng has to admit that he is jealous.

Shi Lin said that, and they didn't tend to Xiao Shitou and the others in the morning.

However.

Before leaving, Qiao Sheng found Shi Lin and called them up.

"You said you would take Xiao Shitou and the others to Feng Ji Private School, right? Hurry up, get ready, and once you're ready, call them up. I didn't make breakfast today, so you take them out to eat. After eating, go study."

Without waiting for Shi Lin to speak.

Qiao Sheng turned and walked out.

After Qiao Sheng left, Shi Lin got up after a while, got ready, and then went to call Xiao Shitou and the others.

Xiao Shitou was quite straightforward, replied with a word and got up to tidy up.

Shi Jin, meanwhile, muttered a few words but still got up obediently.

It was Shi Yun's turn.

He realized that the one who woke them up today wasn't Qiao Sheng but Shi Lin, and with a "wah" he burst into loud crying.

Shi Lin stood outside the door with a bewildered expression.

He didn't understand why the child started crying all of a sudden.

"What are you crying for?"

Shi Yun cried even more fiercely.

Shi Jin came out without telling Shi Lin what was happening, and just stood aside watching the commotion.

Xiao Shitou, unlike Shi Jin, stepped forward, briefly explained Shi Yun's condition to Shi Lin, and said: "Shi Shushu is like that; Shi Yun tends to cry easily, because he cries over the slightest thing, but he's already much better than before."

Shi Lin: "......"

There are children like this!

Shi Lin didn't quite know how to soothe Shi Yun.

He said to Xiao Shitou: "Xiao Shitou, go in and tell Shi Yun not to cry; after we get ready, I'll take you all to eat something tasty."

Xiao Shitou nodded, pushed the door, and went inside.

Shi Yun was still sitting on the bed; his tears fell like broken pearls, one after another, and he looked utterly aggrieved.

He looked around and found nothing unusual.

Xiao Shitou asked Shi Yun: "Shi Yun, what's wrong? Did you not sleep well last night, or were you scared by Shi Shushu's loud voice?"

Shi Yun said nothing and kept crying.

Although Xiao Shitou was already used to Shi Yun being like this, if it continued, they'd definitely be late for studying today.

He mimicked Qiao Sheng and shouted: "Stop crying!"

Shi Yun's crying abruptly stopped, but the tears kept falling.

Xiao Shitou immediately said: "Didn't my mother tell you to speak up when you have something, instead of crying at the slightest thing? You keep crying and…"

Shi Yun suddenly recalled what Qiao Sheng had said.

He sniffled and asked: "Where's Aunt Qiao?"

Xiao Shitou seemed to understand a bit why he was crying.

His room is the closest to Qiao Sheng's room.

Naturally, he had clearly heard Qiao Sheng and Shi Lin's conversation last night.

Xiao Shitou said at a moderate pace: "My mother runs a shop, right? She's been a bit busy lately, and Shi Shushu happened to come to our place last night, so she asked him to take us to the private school today. Rest assured, my mother keeps her word; she'll definitely tell us Little Red Riding Hood and Journey to the West tonight. Hurry up and get dressed; if we're late, my mother will be angry and won't tell the stories, so we won't hear them tonight…"

Shi Yun lifted the blanket, put on his shoes, and began getting dressed.

He usually does these things slowly, taking a while to get ready, but today he was rather quick, several times faster than usual.

Shi Lin saw Shi Yun come out with red eyes and couldn't help thinking that, going to Feng Ji Private School looking like that, anyone who didn't know would probably assume he had been bullied.

Where did Qiao Sheng get such a child to come to the house?

Can they tolerate him?
