Chapter 456: Chapter 449: In the Dream
In the afternoon, when Cheng Shishi came to give Wu Jingjing a lesson, she was amazed to find the childās transformation. Jingjing was surprisingly not being rebellious, but rather listening quietly and attentively to her lecture. The strategies Cheng had prepared were rendered useless, and the contrast left Cheng without a sense of accomplishment.
Did this childās transformation come too quickly?
The lesson lasted one and a half hours, and Cheng Shishi hadnāt eaten much at lunch, her mind focused on how to deal with Wu Jingjing. Now, suddenly relaxing, a strong sense of hunger overcame her.
The aroma of food wafted in from outside, strongly awakening Cheng Shishiās appetite. She looked at the timeāit was exactly one and a half hours.
"Thatās it for today. Remember to thoroughly go over the key points I highlighted for you and memorize them. Iāll test you next week," Cheng Shishi said to Wu Jingjing.
Wu Jingjing obediently nodded, indicating she would study seriously.
Up to now, Cheng Shishi was still unable to adjust to Wu Jingjingās sudden change, severely suspecting whether the child might be plotting something harmful against her.
Upon leaving the room, Cheng Shishi saw Wu Chengzu busy in the kitchen.
The man was wearing a gray wool sweater, fitted pants, and an apron tied at his waist, busy in the kitchen.
Strangely, Wu Chengzuās outfit didnāt look out of place at all; instead, it exuded a sexy masculine charm!
He had rolled the sleeves of his wool sweater to his elbows, his wrists elegantly flipping the ingredients in the pan.
For the first time, Cheng Shishi realized that a man cooking could be such a pleasing sight. At home, her father didnāt cook often, and even when he did, it was a chaotic battle. Whether it was her mother or grandmother, cooking was always a heated affair, making it seem painful.
But Wu Chengzu was on a different level.
Carrying a freshly cooked dish, Wu Chengzu walked out and saw Cheng Shishi standing there. He smiled and said, "Class is over?"
"Yes." Cheng Shishi nodded, "Then Iāll leave first."
She was truly hungry...
Wu Chengzu, while untying his apron, walked up to Cheng Shishi, "Sit down and eat together, I just finished cooking."
"Thereās no need for that, my family must have dinner ready."
"Join us for a meal." Wu Chengzu turned Cheng Shishi around and pushed her toward the dining table. Cheng Shishi glanced at Wu Chengzuās hand; his hand was beautiful, "Itās my first time seriously cooking, try my debut dish."
Since Wu Jingjing fell ill last time, Wu Chengzu consciously started learning to cook, and gradually developed an interest.
For some reason, when Wu Chengzuās hand touched Cheng Shishiās shoulder, her heart seemed to skip a beat, and she felt stunned, her face immediately flushing. It wasnāt until Wu Chengzuās hands left her shoulder that the warmth slightly eased.
"Yes, Teacher Xiao Cheng, join us for a meal." Wu Jingjing came over, smiling as she pulled Cheng Shishi to sit down.
"Thank you." Despite knowing itās inappropriate to stay and eat, Cheng Shishi found she couldnāt refuse, or perhaps subconsciously, she didnāt want to refuse.
When Cheng Shishi returned home, Bai Yiran was in the living room watching cartoons with Xiao Lang.
"Shishi, beautiful lady, youāre back!" Xiao Lang joyfully pounced on Cheng Shishi, pointing at the toy Leng Yichen had bought him today, "Dad bought me a new toy today, letās play together!"
Usually, Cheng Shishi would agree with a smile and play with Xiao Lang. But now she seemed distracted, apologetically shaking her head at Xiao Lang, "Iām a bit tired, you play by yourself today."
After speaking, Cheng Shishi went to her room and didnāt come out again.
That night, Cheng Shishi went to sleep very late, but throughout the entire night, her dreams were filled with the same person.
