Happy Youngsters: Lin Miaomiao and Yingzi are vying to have babies!

She could easily have taken better care of a particular patient if she wanted to.

So instead of lamenting Hong Tunan's pitiful state here, we should take better care of her in the hospital in the future.

Upon hearing Xia Donghai's suggestion, Liu Mei sighed.

“It’s not a big deal to take extra care of her, but I’m really sad, considering how young she is.”

In fact, Liu Mei's personality is sometimes too kind, and she often suffers grievances for the sake of the hospital's patients.

However, this is also what Xia Donghai likes and respects about her; the title of "angel in white" is no joke.

"Everyone has their own destiny. It's better to live our own lives well than anything else." Xia Donghai felt a warm glow in his heart as he looked at his large family.

Hearing this, Liu Mei felt much better: "However, after this incident, I think our family should pay more attention to fire prevention."

"Especially you, Liu Xing, are always as mischievous as a monkey. Remember, never play with fire again."

Liu Xing was clearly unhappy about being singled out.

He looked at Xiaoyu and said, "Why are you only blaming me? Just two days ago, Xiaoyu was still tending a fire in the neighborhood."

Xiaoyu became a little anxious upon hearing this: "He played with fire too. He even threw firecrackers in there the other day."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, didn't we agree not to tell Mom about this?"

"You were the one who complained first."

Seeing that Liu Xing and Xiao Yu were about to start arguing, Xia Donghai quickly stopped them: "Children shouldn't play with fire, especially not in the neighborhood."

"Think about it, if you two burn down the whole neighborhood, where will our family live?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing and Xiao Yu thought to themselves, "That seems to make sense."

If they lose their home, are they going to sleep on the streets? Thinking of this, the two of them vowed never to play with fire again.

Xia Ze put his phone in his pocket and walked to the two of them: "Let me tell you two a secret: playing with fire will make you wet the bed."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately had a look of sudden realization.

No wonder people his age don't wet the bed anymore; it turns out he wet the bed because he was playing with fire.

………………

The next day.

Xia Ze and Xia Xue went to school as usual.

However, the two did not choose to take the bus this time, because walking is really slower than taking the bus in Kyoto.

As Xia Ze walked along the road, classmates from the same school kept passing by on bicycles.

He suddenly thought it would be better to buy a bicycle, so he could ride it to and from school.

With this thought in mind, Xia Ze came to the class.

For some reason, Li Meng, who was very gentle last night, looked stern today, as if she had swallowed a bomb.

"Tell me! Xia Ze, what were you and Lin Miaomiao doing last night? Howling like ghosts outside the women's restroom in the middle of the night."

Xia Ze had just returned to his seat when Li Meng called his name.

Hearing her words, it was clear that the two of them had been discovered playing around outside the restroom the previous night.

Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao stood up without offering any further explanation, knowing that reasoning with a teacher would be pointless.

What's more, she's a female teacher who's entered menopause prematurely...

“All the female teachers were resting in the staff dormitory late at night, and you two woke them up with your shouts.”

"And don't you know you shouldn't be laughing and joking so late at night? The lights outside the women's restroom haven't been fixed yet. You'll scare the other female teachers when they go to the restroom!"

Li Meng became increasingly angry as she spoke.

Last night, she accompanied her classmates to see a movie. Halfway through, she had a stomachache. As a teacher, she certainly couldn't bring herself to ask other female students to join her.

She had no choice but to muster up her courage and go to the toilet by herself. She had barely squatted down when a shout came from somewhere, which almost scared her to death.

If she hadn't listened carefully and recognized Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao's voices, she would have really thought it was a ghost story.

"Teacher, last night I had a stomachache and was scared because I was alone in the bathroom. That's why they made noises outside to give me courage." Qiao Yingzi raised her hand and stood up, offering an excuse for the two of them.

Li Meng naturally believed Qiao Yingzi's words, after all, in the teachers' eyes, Qiao Yingzi and Xiaoxue were both well-behaved students.

Well-behaved students wouldn't lie to their teachers, though this is what most teachers believe.

"You guys sit down!"

"I'm not blaming you this time, I just want to tell you not to disturb other people's rest so late at night." Li Meng waved her hand, gesturing for them to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Lin Miaomiao made a "I love you" gesture to Qiao Yingzi.

After Li Meng and a few others sat down, she waved her hand to quiet the class. Then she took out a bag of unopened test papers.

"I'm letting you all know in advance that the first-year high school students will have their first mock exam tomorrow. I've set a small goal for our class: we must get five spots in the top ten of the whole school."

"What?" Upon hearing this, exclamations of surprise immediately rose from the class. Getting five spots in the top ten of the school was considered a small goal?

What a joke!

It's important to know that there are at least 800 to 1,000 first-year students at elite high schools, and there are five top-tier classes alone.

Aside from the top students in the honors classes, not all students in the regular and basic classes are incompetent.

"Cough cough!"

"I haven't finished yet. Besides getting five out of the top ten, I also need at least ten out of the top twenty. The rest of the students should ideally be in the top fifty, but at the very least, they should be in the top one hundred."

Upon hearing this, the entire class erupted into chaos, like ants in a boiling pot.

Li Tiegun was too ruthless this time!

This is really giving them a lot of credit; aiming for five out of the top ten, ten out of the top twenty, and at the very least, making it into the top one hundred!

Chapter 49: The Bet with Qian Sanyi on the Eve of the Exam

This result is the best not only among elite high schools, but also among all the key high schools in Kyoto.

If their class really achieves such results, they will definitely be the best class in the entire Kyoto.

So Li Meng really dares to bring that up!

Actually, Li Meng was just saying it; she did it simply to make the students feel a sense of urgency.

Li Meng knew that such a result was impossible.

"As your teacher, of course I want you to get better grades. Here's what I'll do to encourage you: I'll treat all the students who get into the top ten to snacks and exempt them from a week's homework."

"How about we treat the students who get into the top 20 to snacks and exempt them from three days of homework, and exempt the students who get into the top 50 from two days of homework?"

Li Meng clearly understood the art of using both kindness and severity; a few words from her immediately excited the students in the class again.

One by one, they all expressed that they would do their best to get into the top fifty. Of course, what attracted them was not the snacks, but the fact that they didn't have to do homework for a few days!

This was an immense blessing for them.

Even Lin Miaomiao, Fang Yifan, and the other few academic underachievers couldn't help but get excited.

"Don't you know your own skill level? Why are you so excited?" Xia Ze couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the excited Lin Miaomiao beside him.

"I don't know, I'm just happy to hear that I don't have to do homework." Lin Miaomiao didn't know what she was so excited about.

Although the reward was basically none of her business this time, she couldn't help but feel happy seeing her classmates so happy.

Xia Ze ignored the happy, silly Lin Miaomiao and instead turned his attention to Qian Sanyi.

He hadn't forgotten the bet he made with Qian Sanyi.

I didn't expect the first exam of the new semester to be here so soon. It seems like it's time to resolve our conflict.

Whether by coincidence or not, Qian Sanyi also turned his gaze towards them at this moment.

The two men stared at each other, their eyes filled with hostility and hostility.

Perhaps because the tension was so palpable, the other students all turned their attention to the two of them.

"What are you looking at, you cold-faced monster!" Fang Yifan, who already disliked Qian Sanyi, stood up unhappily.

"Cold-faced Monster" is a nickname Fang Yifan gave to Qian San.

That guy spends all day in the classroom wearing headphones, acting all high and mighty. He won't even answer when other students try to talk to him.

Fang Yifan really didn't know where his sense of superiority came from.

He looks down on underachievers and doesn't interact with others; no wonder he hasn't made any friends in the first two weeks of school.

The aloof Qian Sanyi ignored Fang Yifan.

He just watched Xia Ze quietly.

Based on his observations over the past few days, Xia Ze is definitely not as simple as he appears to be a poor student.

He is very likely a top student on par with Qiao Yingzi and Shi Miao.

But so what if you're a top student!

Qian Sanyi has never met a rival in his studies, and he's determined to take first place in this exam.
