At home, Xiao Tong was having dinner with Lai Man Yuan and Li Tian Man.
“Xiao Tong, Mom has something to tell you.” Said Lai Man Yuan.
“Mom and dad will be overseas to look after Grandpa. Grandpa is not doing great. His health is deteriorating. Aunt Su Li will take care of you when Mom and Dad are not around. So you need to be good and don’t cause any problems, ok? Said Lai Man Yuan.
Xiao Tong was willing to live with Aunt Su Li but not Yun Feng. She didn’t want to face that guy every day, “Mom, can I live alone in this house? Ah Sa can take care of me.”
“Xiao Tong, be good, alright. Mom and dad are not at ease when no adult is around. Mom and dad worried about your safety and wellbeing. Mom had made an arrangement, next week, you will live with Aunt Su Li.” Said Lai Man Yuan.
Xiao Tong had no choice but to listen to Li Man Yuan.
Xiao Tong sighed.
Hao Ming was marking a mock test done by Xiao Tong. He was grinning while checking. “Xiao Tong, not bad. You have improved. Now, you are better than an average student. Good job! Keep it up.
Xiao Tong immediately brightened up, “Really? Am I?”
“Yes, you are. Be confident. As I said before, with me as Genius Mathematics, you won’t fall behind.” Said Hao Ming while marking the test.
“All these thanks to you.” Said Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong never thought that under Hao Ming’s guidance, she would improve very fast. Now, she didn’t have to worry whether she failed or not in an upcoming test.
“Say, what is your request?” asked Xiao Tong.
Hao Ming pondered for a while, “I haven’t think of anything yet.”
Coincidentally, Hao Ming had a pair of movie tickets. It was a gift when he redeemed points.
“I have a pair of movie tickets. Are you interested?” asked Hao Ming.
“Yes, big brother.” Said Xiao Tong without hesitation.
Xiao Tong was excited as she never watched a movie before since she had no time and urgently saved money. Xiao Tong couldn’t wait for the day.
Today Xiao Tong had the exam, but Xiao Tong wasn’t afraid at all. She was confident that she wouldn’t fail the exam. To express her gratitude towards Hao Ming, Xiao Tong prepared a small gift. She planned to give the gift to Hao Ming tonight after watching the movie. Xiao Tong was very excited and couldn’t wait for night to fall.
“Xiao Tong, why are you so happy today? We have an exam, though. Don’t you feel nervous at all?” asked Hao Ming.
“Not telling big brother…” teased Xiao Tong.
“Cheh. Don’t forget our movie tonight. Be on time.” Said Hao Ming.
Of a sudden, Hao Ming thought they had a date tonight. They sound like dating. To be honest, Hao Ming didn’t feel irritated and annoyed when he had conversations with current Xiao Tong. After Hao Ming conversed with Xiao Tong last month, he found she was gentle, easygoing, and kind-hearted. Unlike the “previous Xiao Tong”, Hao Ming was disgusted with the princess’s attitude. He wasn’t interested in befriending with previous Xiao Tong, not a bit.
When Xiao Tong called him big brother, his heart skipped a beat, and he wasn’t annoyed at all. He wondered if it’s normal to have such a feeling since he didn’t have a sister. Hao Ming immediately brushed off his thought and back to his seat.
