It wasn't until Shao Bei returned home that he realized home was the best place to develop feelings with Shen Nan.

The two of them were sitting at the dining table. Shaobei would scoop soup for him once in a while and add more dishes for him, almost feeding him mouth to mouth.

Shen Nan: "......"

This was the most uncomfortable meal he had ever eaten!

Both families stubbornly believed that there was absolutely no problem, and Shen's mother even glared at him, saying that he didn't know how to consider Shaobei's feelings.

Shen Nan: "......" Shen Nan was so furious that his hand trembled. He scooped up a piece of brain flower and threw it into Shao Bei's bowl, gritting his teeth and saying, "Have some more! Brain flower!"

Shaobeichong gave him a gentle smile and said, "Mmm."

Shen Nansheng had no desire to linger. After struggling to finish his meal, he immediately grabbed his backpack and hid in his room, saying, "I'll be doing my homework, so don't disturb me!"

He especially glanced at Shao Bei.

I saw Shao Bei leisurely stand up, holding his school bag, and obediently say to Father Shen and Mother Shen, "Then I'll also go."

Shen's father: "Go, go."

Shen's mother: "Don't get too tired! There are snacks in Nan Nan's drawer. I'll cut a fruit platter for you later!"

Shao Bei walked up to Shen Nan's room under the gaze of his four parents. Shen Nan stood by the door, and Shao Bei was slightly taller than him, just enough to block the adults' line of sight. Thus, Shen Nan recklessly lowered his voice and said fiercely, "Get lost."

Shao Bei looked at him, his pitch-black eyes shimmering as he stared at him. Shen Nan felt completely unafraid, wearing an expression that said, "Dare you come in and try."

Shaobei took a deep breath and glanced at Shen Nan. Immediately, he turned to his parents and said, "I... I'll go to the study."

He did not say that Shen Nan did not let him in. Instead, he hugged his schoolbag with a look of helplessness and disappointment and walked towards the study. Shen's mother was completely confused, asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Nan Nan, what are you doing?!"

The Shao family was also dumbfounded: "Beibei, did you offend Nannan?"

Shen Nan: "......"

Shen Nan was speechless about the attitudes of both sets of parents. It seemed as if they saw him and Shao Bei as conjoined twins. The four adults stared at him, making Shen Nan have a gut feeling that if he dared to say "he and Shao Bei broke up," an impromptu trial would immediately commence.

Shen Nanpi smiled without displaying any humor: "It's, it's nothing. I was just joking."

Shen Nan, who was forced to crack a joke, led Shao Bei into the room. Shen Nan's room had a distinct teenage boy's vibe, with a separate computer desk and study desk. Two chairs were positioned by the study desk, clearly prepared in advance.

Shao Bei, familiar with the route, pulled out his textbook and settled into his seat. He had already completed all his preparations for work when he turned around and noticed that Shen Nan was leaning against the door, staring at him from the shadows.

Shao Bei was startled inexplicably, but he wasn't one to be taken lightly either. He managed to control his expression and maintain his image as a gentle and generous boyfriend, saying, "What are you looking at? Come here."

Shen Nan coldly snorted and went to the computer desk.

He didn't want to do homework with Shao Bei at all.

I don't know if my parents have been cursed or not.

Shao Beiliang was taken aback and opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He watched as Shen Nan put on his headphones, giving off an expression of "I don't want to deal with you" and obediently started working on his homework.

The nature of their studies kept Shaobei and Shen Nan from finding an opportunity to talk. Just as Shaobei finally thought of the English speech competition and wanted to discuss it with Shen Nan, he heard Shen Nan talking on the phone, holding it to his ear, saying, "Tomorrow? Alright, where should we go?"

Shao Bei perked up his ears.

Shen Nan, wearing earphones, naturally wouldn't miss a single word. Shaobei only heard Shen Nan's response: "No problem, see you tomorrow at noon... Wait, really? I have to bring your assignments too... Fine, fine, fine, I'll just bring the math one... What's his deal? Is he always so demanding?"

Shaobei's pen paused for a moment, and instinctively, he felt that the "him" referred to himself.

He was sorting through a list of names in his mind when the sound of knocking came from the door. Shaobei opened it and saw Shen's mother.

Shen's mother brought them a fruit platter. When she saw that the two of them weren't together, she paused for a moment. Upon seeing Shen Nan put down his phone, she immediately started talking to him, saying, "Nan Nan, have you finished your homework? Did you go play on your computer?"

Shen Nan helplessly replied, "No, just talking to a friend about something."

Shen's mother frowned and asked, "Why did you go over there to do your homework?"

Shen Nan: "..." Shen Nan's lips twitched, "I'm afraid of disturbing him."

Shao Bei: "......"

Mrs. Shen casually asked, knowing about the recent relationship problems between the two children. With other people present, she couldn't offer guidance. Setting down the fruit plate, she said, "Beibei, you can stay here tonight. Your clothes are in the wardrobe."

When she left, she gave a suggestive glance at Shen Nan and said, "Let's talk things out properly and not hold grudges."

Shen Nan: "...".
