Chapter 215: Fuming

Chapter 215

Shi Ruan was wearing fluffy slippers and a loose, casual jacket. Not far from her was a shopping cart filled with various ingredients.

Hearing a familiar voice, Shi Ruan looked in that direction and saw her young cousin's face, filled with shock. Shi Ruan was equally surprised, unable to understand why her little cousin would appear near her home.

A momentary panic flashed across Shi Ruan's face, but she quickly composed herself and asked, "What are you doing here? I heard from auntie that you have competition training at school every weekend?"

The pressure of being a new teacher suddenly came over her, "Are you skipping classes?"

"I know you're a good student, but skipping classes isn't a good thing."

Shi Li thought to herself that Shi Ruan was still the same as when she was young, her ability to change the subject hadn't deteriorated at all.

Almost laughing from frustration, she replied, "The training only has two classes, it ends at eleven."

"As for you, if I remember correctly, shouldn't you be at home writing lesson plans and making PowerPoints right now?"

Shi Ruan pressed her index finger to her temple, "I have a fever today, I'm not feeling well."

Shi Li thought: You weren't having a headache when you were holding his sleeve earlier, you weren't having a headache when you were looking at food in the refrigerator, how come you suddenly have a headache when I show up? It's like I'm your kryptonite.

Shi Li reached out to feel her forehead for a fever, but Shi Ruan dodged behind Ji Chunsheng.

The tall man shielded the petite Shi Ruan behind him.

Ji Chunsheng said, "Your sister is sick, she's not feeling well right now."

Shi Li had been silent with a cold face. Shi Ruan had always been afraid of her cousin's anger. Her cousin usually had a good temper, always warm and friendly to everyone, which made it all the more terrifying when she did get angry.

Shi Li wasn't speaking because she was cursing in her mind.

The curses were so vulgar that if broadcast, they would need to be entirely censored and banned.

The three people nearby were stunned, both by Shi Li's rich vocabulary of swear words and by seeing Shi Li in such a furious state for the first time.

Qiao Jingjia and Rongrong had only learned about this man's identity a few minutes ago, but that didn't prevent them from understanding her current breakdown.

"We'll bring our own ingredients, so it's not like we're freeloading. Just don't think of us as a bother."

With that sentence, Rongrong had blocked many of the things Shi Ruan wanted to say.

As the older cousin, how could she possibly consider her cousin and her cousin's friends a bother?

Shi Ruan smiled and said it wouldn't be a problem.

However, even though they brought several large shopping bags of things, it was still like coming empty-handed.

Because in the end, Ji Chunsheng paid for Rongrong's purchases.

Shi Li walked at the front, secretly putting her hand behind her back and making a victory sign, even waving it a bit in case the three people behind didn't notice.

Soon, the group of four received a message from Shi Li in their chat group: [Successfully freeloaded]

It wasn't that Shi Li liked to take advantage of others, but taking advantage of someone she disliked gave her a sense of satisfaction.

This apartment was less than a five-minute walk from the school where Shi Ruan worked. At the beginning of the year, when Shi Ruan confirmed her workplace, her aunt bought this flat near the school for Shi Ruan's convenience.

Although it had been renovated early on, concerns about excessive formaldehyde levels had prevented Shi Ruan from moving in.

It wasn't until this semester started that Shi Ruan occasionally stayed in this apartment. Whenever time allowed, she would choose to return to the old house.

Only recently had Shi Ruan started living in this apartment more regularly.

Rongrong's new home wasn't in the same community as Shi Ruan's apartment, and this was Shi Li's first time coming here.

Watching Ji Chunsheng skillfully take out clean slippers from the shoe cabinet for the four of them, Shi Li's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Qiao Jingjia still pretended to be polite, saying, "I'm sorry for the trouble we're causing you."

Ji Chunsheng repeatedly said it was no problem and invited them to sit on the sofa and rest for a while.

While Qiao Jingjia was putting the ingredients in the kitchen, Shi Li silently questioned Shi Ruan, "I'm coming to my sister's home, why does he need to host?"
