She, who treats Xiaoxue like her own daughter, can understand Wang Shengnan. If Xiaoxue were being bullied at school, she wouldn't be able to bear it either.

.........

Outside the living room.

I don't know if it's because middle-aged men tend to appreciate each other, or if Xia Donghai and Lin Dawei have some similarities in personality.

The two of them were having a very lively conversation.

From small things like local housing prices to national military matters, and from hobbies to company trivia.

When their feelings are deep, they look like they've become sworn brothers.

The adults chatted about adult things, and the children chatted about children's things.

Lin Miaomiao and Xia Ze started bickering in the room, grabbing each other's pillows and engaging in a pillow fight.

"Are you sure you can handle it, Xia Ze?"

"Ha!" Xia Ze scoffed at Lin Miaomiao's provocation. "Do you want to try me out?"

"Come just come, whoever is afraid of whom!"

"Take this Kamehameha!" Lin Miaomiao mimicked the classic move of a famous character from an anime and threw a pillow at Xia Ze.

Unfortunately, Xia Ze simply grabbed the pillow and immediately retaliated with: Dragon Emperor's Other Dimension! (The pillow).

"Ugh!" Lin Miaomiao couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the face by a pillow. She acted like she was spitting blood, saying, "What a powerful move! It took away half of my health, but I can still hold on."

"Still holding on? Then take another one of my Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms!" Xia Ze grabbed another pillow and quickly finished him off.

Looking at the two childish people, Xia Xue felt that the world was too noisy.

After a while, the two of them got tired of playing and stopped to rest.

Lin Miaomiao and Xia Ze lay panting on Xiao Xue's bed, as Lin Miaomiao had come up with yet another mischievous idea.

She sat up abruptly and looked at Xia Ze and Xiao Xue, asking, "Have you ever drunk beer?"

The two were taken aback by these words and shook their heads.

Xia Ze wasn't lying. Although he had lived two lives, he had never drunk alcohol, except for fruit wine.

But that stuff has a terribly low alcohol content, not even as good as rice wine.

"Want to try it?" Lin Miaomiao had never drunk beer before, and every time she tried to sneak a sip, Wang Shengnan stopped her.

"What are you up to now?" Xia Ze looked at Lin Miaomiao and laughed. This girl probably wanted to sneak a drink of beer.

As expected, Lin Miaomiao said with a smile, "I see that the adults like to have a couple of bites when they have nothing to do, and I'd like to try it too."

"No way, that stuff doesn't even look appetizing." Xia Xue didn't want to try it; she thought it was wrong to drink alcohol secretly.

"How will you know it doesn't taste good if you don't try it? Xia Ze, just tell me, are you going to help your brother Miao or not?"

"I won't help, and I don't want to drink it."

Xia Ze refused, but then Lin Miaomiao suddenly grabbed his arm, her voice full of coquettishness: "Xia Ze, help me~"

"Can't you be normal for once..." While others are cute when they act cute, Lin Miaomiao's acting cute is simply deadly.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes. How dare he say she was abnormal!

"I can help you, but what's your plan?"

There are four parents outside. If I get caught drinking secretly, I'll definitely get a scolding.

"That's easy. At the dinner table later, you guys try to attract the attention of my parents and your parents, then I'll secretly pour some beer. That should do it."

The dinner table.

Liu Mei and Wang Shengnan prepared a whole table of dishes.

The entire living room was filled with the rich aroma of food, which made Liu Xing and Xiao Yu so tempted that they wanted to sneak a bite.

However, both of them still had some self-awareness.

If he actually goes up there to steal some food, he'll probably get a scolding tonight.

When the last dish, braised fish, was served, it was finally time to eat.

At the dinner table, the parents from both sides started chatting, mostly about embarrassing things that happened to their children when they were young.

Such things as bedwetting at eight or nine years old, or being scared to tears by thunder when they were little.

The children were all very embarrassed, but Lin Miaomiao was the most embarrassed of them all.

Xia Ze was very sensible from a young age, and Xiao Xue spent a lot of time with her grandfather when she was little.

So Xia Donghai and Liu Mei were basically talking about the embarrassing things Liu Xing and Xiao Yu had done.

Wang Shengnan only has one daughter, Lin Miaomiao, so naturally she was talking about her embarrassing childhood stories.

Lin Miaomiao lowered her head and ate large mouthfuls of rice.

Luckily, she's a foodie, otherwise she would have been incredibly embarrassed.

Xia Ze sat down next to Lin Miaomiao and gently nudged her with his foot, signaling her not to forget the plan he had just made.

Xia Ze's reminder made Lin Miaomiao remember her plan to steal the wine.

She gave Xiaoxue a look that showed she was starting to fall for him.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Xue raised her voice to attract everyone's attention: "By the way, Miaomiao, what are you planning to write about the composition the teacher assigned?"

"I'm planning to write about kittens, what about you?"

"I plan to buy a white mouse to observe and write my essays." This wasn't just something Xia Xue made up to attract attention.

This week, our Chinese teacher, Tang Yuanming, assigned us homework to write a 1,000-word essay about animals.

Xia Xue felt that writing about cats and dogs was too cliché, so she actually planned to buy a white mouse to observe and write her essay.

The others were also taken aback by Xia Xue's words, but they didn't say anything.

After all, a little mouse isn't a mouse, so it's normal for Xiaoxue to want to write about this.

However, Xia Ze noticed Liu Mei's change in expression at this moment. He remembered that Liu Mei didn't like mice, or more accurately, she was afraid of mice.

In the TV series "Home with Kids," there's a scene where Xia Xue buys a white mouse to observe, and Liu Mei, in order to get closer to Xia Xue, tries to take care of the mouse despite her fear.

Xia Ze couldn't quite remember the specific details of the plot, but he did remember that their relationship had grown closer after this incident.

Therefore, Xia Ze did not intend to stop it from happening.

Just as the parents' attention was drawn away from Xiaoxue, Lin Miaomiao quietly tore off the wrapper from the can of beer.

Then they pasted the canned cola wrapper on top, making it hard to tell the difference unless you look closely.

"Miaomiao, look at Xiaoxue. Even when she buys a pet, it's because it's related to her studies. Can't you learn from her?" Wang Shengnan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder other children are good at studying.

Lin Miaomiao gave an awkward smile.

Liu Mei, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Miaomiao, could you please accompany Xiaoxue to the pet market later and help her pick out a white mouse?"

Lin Miaomiao knew that Liu Mei was trying to help her out of a difficult situation, so she quickly nodded to indicate that she was willing.

Seeing this, Wang Shengnan knew better than to say anything more.

After succeeding, the group quickly ate lunch, then said goodbye to the adults and went back to their rooms.

In the room, Lin Miaomiao took out three cans of beer with repackaged bottles and gave one can each to Xia Ze and Xiao Xue.

Xiaoxue still didn't want to drink the beer, but under Lin Miaomiao's expectant gaze, she took a small sip.

"Cough cough." Xia Xue choked and almost cried after taking just a small sip: "This stuff is so awful, it tastes like chili water."

For people who don't like drinking alcohol, beer feels very spicy, and Xiaoxue is one of them.

She placed the can of beer in front of Lin Miaomiao: "I'm not drinking it, you can drink it yourself."

Seeing Xia Xue's refusal, Lin Miaomiao became very curious about what beer tasted like.

She picked up the can of beer and took a swig.

It doesn't smell very good.

It tastes like a beverage, not particularly delicious, but not as bad as Xiaoxue described.

"Xia Ze, try some. I think (afdf) is pretty good." Lin Miaomiao looked at Xia Ze.

She was curious to hear Xia Ze's opinion.

Xia Ze glanced at the other can of beer and waved his hand, "I don't like drinking, you can drink it yourself."

"Just try it, just one bite." Seeing that Xia Ze was also going to refuse, Lin Miaomiao immediately changed to a coquettish manner.

Seeing this, Xia Ze felt helpless and took a small bite.

The taste was different from what he had imagined; it didn't taste as good as the people in the legend had said.

"What do you think?" Lin Miaomiao looked at Xia Ze expectantly, waiting for his evaluation.

Xia Ze thought for a moment and said, "It feels so-so."
