Following that, Huo Beichen heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Panicking, he quickly carried the cup of water to the study room. Before he could enter the room, the door behind him creaked open and Ning Meng walked out.
Huo Beichen glanced at her nonchalantly and walked behind the desk. He pretended that there was still a mouthful of water under the blanket and drank a mouthful of air. Then, he placed the cup on the table beside him and lowered his head.
Ning Meng walked over and paced back and forth beside him. Suddenly, she snorted and said, "I caught you, didn't I?"
Huo Beichen was confused.
He could not help but think of the scene outside the door. Could it be that she had seen it?
That was impossible. The door was closed.
His ears were slightly red. How could he possibly do something like eavesdropping on someone else's conversation!
Huo Beichen coughed. "Don't overthink it. I …"
"Overthink what?"
Ning Meng pointed at the paper on his desk. "When I went out, you saw the 17th question. Now that I'm back, you're only writing the 19th question. I've been in Ning Ke's room for a whole hour. How could you have only finished two questions in an hour? So, hehehe, I've caught you! "
Huo Beichen was speechless.
This person's observation skills were quite good.
He explained, "I only drank a glass of water."
"Oh, so you drank a whole well of water? Did you drink for an hour? "
Huo Beichen was speechless.
He still wanted to say something but Ning Meng raised her hand. "Don't say anymore. Trying to explain is just trying to cover up. Trying to cover up is not being honest! I know that you have feelings for me! "
Huo Beichen was speechless.
His face flushed bright red in an instant!
How could this person speak so straightforwardly? He wasn't reserved at all.
He quickly retorted, "No, I …"
"Sigh. Actually, there's nothing wrong with admitting it." Ning Meng let out a sigh. "I know. I came to your side out of the blue. You used to be living a carefree life, but I kept trying to control you. I made you feel uncomfortable. I know you hate me ~"
Huo Beichen was speechless.
Which eye of yours saw me hate you??
Would I let an unidentified person like you stay at home if I hate you?!
He was just feeling shy, but now he suddenly felt annoyed. Why didn't this person have any confidence in himself?
Ning Meng continued, "That's why you took the opportunity when I was not around to study!"
"…"
His anxious heart was immediately relieved.
Forget it, let her think that way.
He lowered his head, picked up a pen, and began to read and do questions.
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Ning Meng pouted.
Huo Beichen asked, "You're not going to see Ningke?"
Ning Meng cautiously said, "You want me to visit Ning Ke so that you can continue to slack off, right? I'm not going. I want to stay here and watch you do the questions! "
She sat down next to him and poked her chin at him.
"…"
The next day was the weekend, so no one went to school.
Before they left the house, Ning Meng was still worried about Ning Ke. She looked around the kitchen and saw that it had everything she needed. "Let's have meat for lunch, okay?"
Ning Ke nodded. "Sister, don't worry."
Ning Meng then followed Huo Beichen out.
Seeing that she had left the house, the smile on Ning Ke's face gradually disappeared.
Her father was in jail for stealing, and her classmates were all pointing at her and talking behind her back. She remembered that she had accidentally overheard their conversation when she went to the toilet last night.
"Did you know? Zhang Ke Ke is going to stay with Huo Beichen! "
"What a scheming girl. Her father stole from the Huo family, and yet she still refuses to leave. I really don't know how she did it."
"As the saying goes, a dragon will give birth to a dragon, a phoenix will give birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will dig a hole. Her father is not a good person, so she is definitely not a good person either. Oh right, everyone must always keep your valuables by your side. Don't leave them in the classroom and let her steal them!"
"I don't know what's wrong with Huo Beichen's cousin. Why would she take in such a person? Did you guys see that? Zhang Ke Ke's lunch was filled with meat. Such a lazy person will be kicked out sooner or later! "
"…"
Thinking of this, Ning Ke lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and walked into the kitchen.
Ning Meng had gone to the supermarket last night, so there was meat, eggs, and seafood in the fridge. She took out a bundle of noodles and a few stalks of vegetables. When she was about to take the meat and eggs, she hesitated for a while and did not dare to touch them.
Ning Meng and Huo Beichen did not know about this.
They had arrived at Huang Cheng's house.
"Here! Here!"
Huang Cheng stood at the entrance of his house and waved at them.
His house was located in a small alley beside the school. It was a courtyard house, and only his family lived there. Huang Cheng's father had passed away a long time ago, so there were only him and his mother in the house.
After Huang Cheng had received them, the three of them went to their house.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Song Meilan standing in the courtyard, slaughtering a chicken.
When she saw Ning Meng and Huo Beichen, she smiled. "Xiao Chen, you're finally here. And this is Ning Meng, right? Come in and play for a while. This is the last dish. I've finished slaughtering the chicken, so I'll make spicy chicken for you. "
Ning Meng hurriedly asked, "Aunty, do you need help?"
"No need. You're still kids. You don't know how to cook. Come in."
The three of them entered the house.
The courtyard house was very clean, and there was a row of wooden sofas in the living room. It seemed that Song Meilan was a hardworking woman.
Ning Meng secretly asked, "Xiao Chen?"
Huo Beichen sat on the sofa in the living room and said calmly, "My mom and Aunty Song used to be friends."
Ning Meng suddenly understood. "Oh, so that's how it is!"
No wonder Song Meilan had warmly invited them over for dinner, and Huo Beichen had even agreed to it!
She knew it. With Huo Beichen's cold personality, how could he simply go to his classmate's house for dinner?
As the two of them were whispering to each other, the sound of a chicken crowing could be heard from outside.
The three of them walked to the door and saw the chicken struggling in Song Meilan's hand. She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and it was difficult for her to cut the chicken's neck. She could only ask for help. "Huang Cheng, help me press on its head!"
Huang Cheng immediately ran over. "Yes, mom!"
He walked behind Song Meilan and pressed his hand on her head. He asked, "Mom, do you have a headache? We're killing a chicken. Why do you need to press on its head? "
Song Meilan was confused.
"???"
Huo Beichen was confused.
Song Meilan tried to suppress her anger. "I'm asking you to press on the chicken's head! It'll be easier for me to kill the chicken!!! "
Huang Cheng was speechless.
