After Ji Chunsheng left, the three of them pushed the fruit in front of Shi Li, hoping she would calm down.
Putting herself in that situation, she would indeed be very angry.
Shi Li imagined the cut mango pieces were Ji Chunsheng and bit into them fiercely, over and over.
Shi Li secretly opened her calendar and silently encouraged herself, [It's okay, wait until Brother Ji gets into trouble, Ji Chunsheng accepts guardianship, and gets involved with Brother Ji's wife.]
[Shi Ruan can't tolerate even a speck of sand in her eye, no matter how much she likes someone, she won't put up with it.]
[Anyway, it won't be long now.]
[It's fine, I can endure.]
[When Brother Ji's wife finds out she's two months pregnant, Ji Chunsheng and Brother Ji's company organizes a charity event, going to an underdeveloped area to teach for a month. During this time, Brother Ji saves a little girl who was almost hit by a tractor but gets caught under the tractor wheels himself.]
[Chu Chunsheng was nearby at the time. He blamed himself for not protecting his friend in time. The medical facilities in the remote mountainous area were inadequate. Before the ambulance could reach them, Brother Ji had already passed away.]
[On his deathbed, Brother Ji worried about his new wife and their unborn child, entrusting Ji Chunsheng to take care of them. In the end, Brother Ji's child couldn't be saved, and neither could his wife.]
[With a friend like Chu Chunsheng, he was both unlucky and had good judgment.]
This plot was so cliché it wasn't even worth criticizing. Why was Shi Li so familiar with these details? She hadn't been hiding under someone's bed, and even gossip magazines wouldn't write about it in such detail. Besides, the truthfulness of gossip magazines was questionable, and Shi Li shouldn't have believed it anyway.
It was because in her previous life, she had vaguely heard about the entanglement between the two families, which triggered her memory. This was actually the content of another novel by the same author.
Shi Li hadn't read this novel, she had only heard a brief description of its background.
As for the subsequent development of the story, she could guess that after going through numerous hardships, the two would eventually live a blissfully happy life together.
The other three people, while looking at their phones, quietly listened to Shi Li's recollection.
After Shi Li finished reminiscing, it took everyone a while to extricate themselves from this absurdly dramatic scenario.
There was no actual illicit behavior involved, but the relationships just felt extremely complicated.
Shi Li sighed, [I just don't know when Brother Ji's wife will get pregnant. I hope Shi Ruan won't be in too deep by then.]
While Shi Li was sighing with worry, the person she was concerned about was dreaming of having five wives, all vying to help her write lesson plans, living a sweet life.
Shi Li was purely worrying unnecessarily, like a eunuch more anxious than the emperor.
Being a teacher was exhausting for Shi Ruan. Although she could take a nap at noon, it had been a long time since she had slept so well.
She slept for two hours straight, and even though it was a long nap, when she opened her eyes, she felt even more tired, her whole body limp and weak.
She picked up her phone and played with some male characters for a while. Although there was a stunning beauty in the study, he wasn't hers yet, still at the look-but-don't-touch stage.
She could only satisfy her cravings with these 2D characters for now.
Checking the time, Shi Ruan estimated Ji Chunsheng's progress. If he wrote quickly, he might have finished one-third of it.
Shi Ruan became even more determined to take a day off next Monday. She silently praised herself for being clever enough to get a sick note from the doctor.
It was rather pathetic that she still resorted to these tricks at work, just like she did in school.
The master bedroom was close to the study. Shi Ruan shuffled over in her slippers to check on the progress. "I've had my nap. How much have you written? My head still hurts a bit, but I can manage. You must be exhausted. Let me take over. This is my work after all, I shouldn't have troubled you."
Ji Chunsheng continued writing without pause. "It's alright, I can keep going. Why don't you go play with your cousin and those kids? They're playing mahjong."
Shi Ruan was an old gambler; otherwise, there wouldn't be a mahjong table in the house. Hearing "mahjong" made her want to rush over and play a couple of rounds. However, she was supposed to be sick now and should act a bit more delicate.
Shi Ruan's gaze towards the mahjong table was almost drooling, but she persisted, "I want to keep you company."
"Go play, I'm almost done."
Afraid she wouldn't believe him, Ji Chunsheng showed her what he had already written.
Shi Ruan's doe eyes widened in surprise. Almost done? Really? I don't believe it.jpg
When Shi Ruan wrote it herself, it took her two days to finish, though of course, that included time for eating, sleeping, and browsing her phone.
Although most of that time was spent slacking off, Shi Ruan adamantly refused to admit it was because of her procrastination. She insisted it was the school leadership's fault.
Among the neat and graceful handwriting, Shi Ruan immediately noticed the date on the first line was already in October, meaning Ji Chunsheng had already written half of it.
In just two hours, he had completed half of it. It looked like she might be able to go to school tomorrow and wouldn't need to take a day off.
Excited, Shi Ruan rushed over and gave him a bear hug. At this moment, Ji Chunsheng had transcended from being just someone Shi Ruan wanted to seduce.
Shi Ruan: You are my god!
She planted a kiss on Ji Chunsheng's face, then another on the lesson plan.
Ji Chunsheng froze in his seat, watching as Shi Ruan kissed the lesson plan several more times.
"You're amazing!" Shi Ruan was never stingy with her praise. This was why she could coax Shi Li into doing her homework when they were young, not with money or sentiment, but just with her words.
Shi Ruan's eyes sparkled as she looked at him. "You write so fast!"
A wicked thought crossed her mind about locking Ji Chunsheng up to write lesson plans during school days and teaching plans during holidays. Hehehe~
Ji Chunsheng pursed his lips and took out a sheet of white paper covered in black writing. "Actually, I could be even faster. I'm trying to imitate your handwriting, which slows me down a bit."
Shi Ruan had never seen Ji Chunsheng's handwriting before. When she saw the graceful script on the lesson plan, she thought it was his natural handwriting and that it was similar to hers.
She hadn't realized that not only had he written over twenty lesson plans for her, but he had also imitated her handwriting in the process.
He truly was the chosen one for writing lesson plans.
Ji Chunsheng continued, "I can roughly write in your style now. I could write even faster. It will be done soon."
Shi Ruan was moved to tears. "You're so good. I love you so much."
For the person saying these words, it was just a casual remark. She said this to people around her countless times every day, including but not limited to parents, relatives, colleagues, and friends.
But to the person hearing these words, the meaning was entirely different.
Passing by the study and witnessing this scene, Shi Li let out a sharp, piercing scream.
Shi Li's anger at this moment was so intense that even three people couldn't hold her back. Three was the maximum number for bystanders, but it wasn't the limit for Shi Li's fury.
