After checking the graduation certificate and confirming it was correct, Shen Nian finally put it away.
"Teacher, if I come back to school someday and mention your name, will you treat me to a meal in the cafeteria? I haven't tried the staff dining hall yet," Shen Nian said cheerfully.
"If you come, I'll treat you."
"Great." Shen Nian leaned close to Xia Yanchun's ear and muttered, "If we ever end up down and out with no money for food, we'll just pretend to come back to visit the teacher and get a free meal."
"Pfft—" Xia Yanchun almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Su Kexi: "...??"
Plotting out loud, huh, these kids.
"Ahem, teacher, we'll be heading back then." Shen Nian cleared his throat; he still had to go home, pick up some packages, and build a computer.
"Mm, go on back. There's a lot of traffic on the road, so be careful."
"Roger that."
Leaving the office with Xia Yanchun, they chatted animatedly for a bit. On their way downstairs, they bumped into Chen Dong.
Seeing how the two were practically glued to each other, Chen Dong clicked his tongue twice. "Stopped acting, I see. I knew there was something going on between you two."
Shen Nian nudged the somewhat embarrassed Xia Yanchun. "Isn't it normal for childhood sweethearts to squeeze together? How dare you assume our relationship."
"Ohoho, childhood sweethearts~"
"Chen Dong, what are you being so weird for!" Xia Yanchun's small face flushed red, regretting that she hadn't jotted down Chen Dong's name a few more times when she was on duty before.
Why is he asking for a beating? As expected, anyone who hangs out with Shen Nian isn't quite normal.
Except for herself, of course.
"Well, I won't say anymore. I have to hurry and get my graduation certificate, and then I need to go to the hospital later."
"Yeah, I'll treat you to a meal later."
"No need for later, I can do it right now..." Chen Dong, who had just taken two steps, backed up again.
"You bastard, I'm going to kick you in a second," Shen Nian laughed in exasperation.
After chatting with Chen Dong for a bit, they didn't run into any other classmates from their class all the way out of the school gates.
There were probably fewer people coming at this time around noon.
It was a bit of a pity. In this day and age, class reunions were rarely held, so many classmates would probably never have the chance to meet again.
Today, they had truly, completely graduated.
The sun hung high in the sky, leaving a bright spot of light on the clouds.
They ate lunch outside. After eating, Shen Nian picked up his packages and brought them home.
Although there was a computer at home, Xia Yanchun had rarely touched it. She didn't have the time and wasn't interested. When Shen Nian opened the packages, she was in charge of recording a video. When Shen Nian assembled the computer, she was in charge of spacing out nearby, allowing Shen Nian to come over and give her a hug halfway through the build.
She originally thought building a PC was just simply putting computer parts together. She didn't expect it to be so difficult. It took an entire afternoon to build, and she got hugged by Shen Nian several times.
He had to be careful of static electricity, and he couldn't just use brute force to make things work. It was terribly troublesome... Watching Shen Nian take things apart and put them back together, she felt a bit bewildered.
If it were up to her, she would definitely have to pay someone to help build it, or just buy a pre-built brand-name machine.
"Finally done, phew..." Shen Nian wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead and let out a breath.
Watching the videos made it seem okay, but actually doing it was somewhat difficult. He was always afraid of accidentally breaking something. With parts costing thousands of dollars, the psychological pressure was immense.
"So amazing!" Xia Yanchun clapped her small hands like a seal, her almond eyes blinking rapidly. "I'll press the power button for you."
"Are you actually going to take my computer's first time, Haji-Chun, you rascal..."
"Hmph, hmph, before I turn it on, your computer was always thinking about being turned on by you."
"?"
Shen Nian felt like the sky was falling. He was never going to make abstract jokes again; he had completely corrupted his sweet and soft Chunbao.
I repent. I'll do it again next time.
Xia Yanchun carefully pressed the power button. The lights on the case instantly lit up, and the 27-inch monitor finally displayed an image.
"It booted up."
"Still a few things to do." Shen Nian opened a video on his phone again, following the tutorial step by step to complete the final procedures. "Wooohoo, safe landing."
"Hurry, hurry, download QQ so I can log in and see." Xia Yanchun was even happier than Shen Nian.
As everyone knows, the younger brother belongs to the older sister, and the younger brother's things also belong to the older sister.
Since it was her own computer, Xia Yanchun was naturally happy.
Things like computers seemed to be self-taught for boys who knew how to play games. Even if he wasn't an expert, Shen Nian at least knew the most basic operations.
It was all thanks to his middle school IT classes, which taught him how to use a computer and also how to play CS 1.6 during class.
After installing QQ, Shen Nian helped Xia Yanchun type in her QQ number and password. "Logged in."
"Why has it changed so much? I remember logging into QQ on the computer used to be a long strip."
"They have to update it, you know." Shen Nian bared his teeth and said darkly, "Careful, I might steal your account. I'm a C language boss, after all."
"If you dare, I'll beat you up."
"You think I'm scared of you? I'll sneakily change your profile picture to a piece of crap tonight."
"Heh, you better really dare to change it."
"Ahem, just kidding. You play, Chunbao. Making way for Chunbao." Shen Nian got up from the chair and made a welcoming gesture.
He was so smooth. Xia Yanchun couldn't help but hum softly in her heart. This is what a younger brother should be like. What kind of younger brother talks back to his older sister every day?
Sitting in the chair, Xia Yanchun pulled it closer. For a girl who hadn't played on computers much, such a large screen was dazzling enough to make her dizzy.
She wasn't even very agile at controlling the mouse. One second she opened the browser, and the next second she clicked on QQ to look around. Finally, she sent Shen Nian an emoji. Hearing Shen Nian's phone chime, she gave him a silly smile.
Shen Nian stayed by her side, watching her get familiar with the computer. "In the future, we can watch TV and play games together... With such a big screen, it'll definitely be more comfortable than when we used to huddle under the covers watching on our phones."
"Th-then let's find a movie to watch tonight!"
"Deal. I'll move the desk a bit tonight, and we can lie on the bed and watch."
"Hehe, I still have a small table at home, I'll buy some snacks..."
"Don't get snack crumbs on my bed later."
"I definitely won't. And even if I drop some, it doesn't matter, it's not my bed anyway."
"Haji-Chun, you rascal! Selfish ghost."
"Am not."
Shen Nian leaned over and hugged the girl sitting in the chair, as if wanting to knead her into his embrace.
Xia Yanchun was soft and squishy. Resting her chin on Shen Nian's shoulder, she could feel him exerting strength, and her small hands subconsciously wrapped around his waist.
He didn't even play with the newly built computer for a bit...
Xia Yanchun grumbled in her heart. She was easily carried onto the bed by Shen Nian. Because of their posture, Shen Nian sat on the edge of the bed, and she could only straddle his lap.
"Why are you hugging me instead of playing on the computer..."
"I can play after we eat."
"You can hug me after we eat too..."
"But I want to hug you right now."
Her heart thumped wildly. Shen Nian's straightforward affection actually made Xia Yanchun, who had cuddled with him countless times, become bashful.
"Mm... then I'll let you hug me for a little while..." Xia Yanchun said in a low voice. She gently embraced Shen Nian, sniffing the scent on his body, which wasn't as nice-smelling as before due to him going out and building the computer.
Driven by her stirring emotions, the young girl pressed her affection onto Shen Nian's lips.
After a moment of tender intimacy, Xia Yanchun suddenly opened her eyes. Sensing Shen Nian's intentions, the physical aversion she had anticipated never materialized. Instead, a completely novel sensation took over her emotions.
A long while later, their lips parted. Xia Yanchun blinked her almond eyes twice, her eyebrows raised high.
"You're such a pervert..."
Shen Nian wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. "Yes, yes, I am. Though I wonder who it was that didn't make a single peep just now."
Puffing her cheeks in anger, Xia Yanchun pinched and tugged at Shen Nian's cheek, glaring at him sulkily.
She looked as though if Shen Nian dared to say another word, he would only be allowed to kiss green jelly popsicles from now on.
