Chapter 64 - 063 Whitening Method
Chen Ming lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Since when do you stick up for someone like Tian Sangsang?"
Chen Ying replied, "I'm not sticking up for Tian Sangsang. I stand by whoever's right. If someone's unreasonable, I just look down on them. And today's incident—don't think for a second that Tian Tian is unaware; that's impossible!"
"How is that impossible?" Chen Ming's expression shifted slightly, his gaze wandering. "Tian Tian isn't that kind of person. Look at how she acted earlier—she genuinely seemed clueless about the whole thing."
"And you believe that? Brother, that's bias! You're letting love blind you!" Chen Ying looked at him worriedly, pouting. "I don't like their family, period."
"I know what you're saying. What their family did today was wrong," Chen Ming admitted, showing his kind-hearted nature. The scene earlier had deeply angered him. "But Tian Tian is Tian Tian; her family is her family. I'm in love with Tian Tian, not her family."
"Brother, what kind of nonsense logic is that? Can't you open your eyes for once?" Chen Ying stomped her foot in frustration. She knew Tian Tian wasn't great, but her brother refused to see it. Saying too much might strain their sibling bond, so she could only fret helplessly!

Since Meng Shuyan was bored at home every day, Tian Sangsang deliberately found something for him to do. Truth be told, it wasn't just Meng Shuyan being bored—children in rural areas who weren't yet in school during this era were all bored. Simply put, there was no electricity, no TV, no entertainment activities. A group of mischievous kids gathered to play wildly, with rarely anyone teaching them proper manners. So, they were already half a step behind city kids from the starting line. Moreover, even when kids started school, they couldn't focus entirely on studying—they still had chores to do at home.
Tian Sangsang went to the Plane to redeem some items, aiming for things practical and down-to-earth. A pencil, an eraser, a fountain pen, a bottle of ink, a Pinyin practice book, and a Calligraphy Grid exercise book for practicing strokes and Chinese characters. When Meng Shuyan saw the items, he couldn't hide his happiness and obediently sat down to practice writing.
