It's obvious that Liu Mei must have finished her early shift at the hospital and gone home early to cook dinner.
"Xiaoze and Xiaoxue are back. Come on, wash your hands and eat. Auntie went to the seafood market today and bought some crabs."
"I'm starving! Auntie's here!"
Xia Ze didn't stand on ceremony. He put his canvas bag on the sofa and rushed into the bathroom to wash his hands, while Xia Xue put her schoolbag back in her own bedroom.
At the dinner table, Liu Mei gave Xia Donghai a look, and Xia Donghai immediately nodded in response, indicating that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Donghai picked up a piece of crab and put it into Xia Ze's bowl.
"Xiaoze, I heard from Mom that you were pushed down by a girl at school today, is that right?"
While dismantling the crab shell, Xia Ze replied, "Yes, not only was I pushed over, but she pushed me over twice."
"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xing, who had just taken a sip of soup, choked and spat it out.
"Brother, you're my real brother! You're really awesome, bringing home a sister-in-law on your very first day of school."
"That's really amazing. I wish Duoduo could treat me like that too," Xiaoyu muttered to herself.
"Pushed down twice? Not once?" Xia Donghai was also confused. Didn't Liu Mei say that Xiao Ze was pushed down by a girl once at school?
How did it become twice?
Not only him, but Liu Mei was also stunned. She had seen Lin Miaomiao push Xia Ze down, but wasn't that an accident?
Why did she push Xia Ze down again later? Are these two kids dating?
"I'm just too handsome. Whether I'm abroad or in China, I have admirers everywhere. Sigh, being too handsome is a kind of trouble."
Seeing that his parents had misunderstood, Xia Ze forced a laugh and made a joke.
Hearing this, Xia Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Brother, you're too narcissistic. Miao Miao didn't do it on purpose."
"If it wasn't intentional, why did she bump into me twice? I think she just wants your body."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei and Xia Donghai realized that it was a misunderstanding.
However, seeing Xia Ze's smug expression, the two of them just laughed and didn't blame him for making silly jokes.
"Brother, your skin is thicker than a city wall."
"Xiaoxue, you don't understand. Our family's genes are what they are. Look how beautiful our mom is, and look at our dad... he's not bad either, right, Lao Xia?"
Hearing this, Xia Donghai patted his chest and walked to Xia Ze's side: "What you said makes perfect sense. Look how handsome my son and I are."
Seeing the father and son duo acting silly amused Liu Mei, and even Xiao Xue, who usually keeps to herself at home, burst into laughter.
However, no one noticed the sudden realization on Liu Xing and Xiao Yu's faces.
Liu Xing: I've learned something! I've learned something! So being handsome means you can do whatever you want!
Xiaoyu: My dad is handsome, my brother is handsome, so I must be handsome too. Duoduo, I know what to do.
Chapter Eleven: Dean of Students Pan Yuansheng (Seeking flowers and ratings)
the next day.
Today was the first day of class for the first year of high school at Elite High School, and no student dared to be late.
When Xia Ze entered the classroom, he saw his deskmate Lin Miaomiao with dark circles under her eyes, listlessly slumped over her desk.
"Did you steal chickens or pet dogs last night? With those panda eyes, I thought a panda had come to life."
Xia Ze took the books out of the desk drawer and placed them on the desk, then put the canvas bag back into the desk drawer.
The reason he didn't have to carry heavy schoolbags to and from school like other students was because his books were all left at school.
Lin Miaomiao rested her chin on the table, her hands hanging limply, looking utterly listless: "I just realized I'm not a good sleeper! And I didn't eat enough for breakfast today."
Insomnia is a minor issue; what really makes Lin Miaomiao listless is the small portion size of the school breakfast.
Moreover, the taste is only so-so, not as good as the ones sold at the stalls outside the school.
Xia Ze chuckled upon hearing this.
He guessed that Lin Miaomiao would have insomnia; it was the first time in her life that she had been away from her parents, and she was probably excited all night.
"Would you like some Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)?"
Xia Ze patted Lin Miaomiao on the shoulder and mysteriously opened the canvas bag, revealing the noodles with soybean paste inside.
Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she heard the words "Zha Jiang Mian" (noodles with soybean paste).
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Miaomiao said, trying to take it with both hands, but Xia Ze stopped her: "If you want to eat noodles, don't rush."
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaomiao noticed the wicked smile on Xia Ze's face and instantly realized something was wrong.
This is suspicious!
"You can have noodles if you want, but you have to do all the homework this week." Xia Ze didn't actually have to do his homework.
He didn't want to be treated specially; he still had to hand in his assignments, but he didn't care who wrote them or whether they were right or wrong.
Upon hearing this condition, Lin Miaomiao bristled like a kitten: "Shady businessman! Shady businessman!"
"Trying to exchange a bowl of noodles for a week's worth of homework? You're a total swindler!"
You should know that Lin Miaomiao herself doesn't like doing homework, yet Xia Ze actually wanted to bribe her with a bowl of noodles to do his homework for a week.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Is Lin Miaomiao someone who can be so easily bought off?
"You-really-not-eating-it!" Xia Ze said, enunciating each word as he opened the packaging of the Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), releasing a fragrant aroma.
The aroma made Lin Miaomiao's mouth water. She felt as if two little devils were whispering in her ear, one telling her to refuse and the other to agree.
In the end, her cravings overcame her reason, and Lin Miaomiao said fiercely, "Just this once, and don't let it happen again."
Seeing that Lin Miaomiao agreed, Xia Ze smiled and handed her the noodles with soybean paste.
Actually, Xia Ze had brought this noodle soup for her. On the way here, he thought that Lin Miaomiao probably wouldn't have enough to eat, and the deal he made earlier was just something he came up with on the spur of the moment.
"Mmm! This smells so good." Holding the noodles with soybean paste, Lin Miaomiao ate heartily without caring about her image.
Even Xia Ze, who had eaten breakfast that morning, couldn't help but feel his appetite whetted at the sight of this eating.
I have to say, this guy would definitely be a hit if he went into mukbang (eating broadcast).
However, this was just Xia Ze's random thought. He didn't support Lin Miaomiao becoming a food vlogger. Putting aside the fact that overeating would damage her stomach, the water in the live streaming industry could drown Lin Miaomiao.
Lin Miaomiao hadn't finished eating when the bell rang for class.
Whether the teacher was waiting outside the door beforehand or for some other reason, a female teacher with a serious expression walked into the classroom as soon as the bell rang.
On the podium.
Li Meng glanced at the whole class and frowned when she saw Lin Miaomiao, whose mouth was still wet.
However, she didn't say much on the first day of school and instead looked at the other students.
Li Meng's gaze lingered on Qian Sanyi for a while, and also on Xia Xue's Qiao Yingzi, Shi Miao, and others for a while.
However, it lingered on Xia Ze the longest.
Lin Miaomiao noticed this and asked curiously, "The teacher lingered on the top student for a while, so why did she linger on you for a while as well?"
Xia Ze shrugged indifferently: "Maybe it's because I have the worst grades in the class that gives her a headache."
"Old Xia, you're in for a world of hurt. I heard that this female teacher, Li Meng, is a notorious 'Extinction Master'!" Fang Yifan, who was standing nearby, noticed the conversation between the two and cast a pitying glance at them.
"Ahem! Be quiet!"
On the podium, Li Meng patted the table, and the classroom instantly became very quiet.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Meng and I am your math teacher. I value grades and class discipline."
"If any of you dare to cause trouble and drag the class down, I won't be lenient with you. You'd better remember that."
Like most teachers, Li Meng gave her students a tough start on the first day of school.
At that moment, several more teachers entered from outside.
They have Mr. Xu, who teaches physical education, and Mr. Pan Yuansheng, the dean of studies at the elite middle school and also the class's English teacher.
I don't know if it's because of the combined world, but the original head of teaching, Zhao Rongbao, has become him.
Xia Ze didn't care, since Zhao Rongbao and Pan Yuansheng looked exactly alike and had very similar personalities.
After each teacher introduced themselves, they left the classroom. The first class was for the homeroom teacher.
Tang Yuanming stood on the podium and looked at Lin Miaomiao in the last row. He was also stunned when he noticed her deskmate Xia Ze.
Why is this guy sitting in the last row? With his grades, he should be sitting in the front.
"Xia Ze, can you even see the blackboard clearly while you're sitting there?" Tang Yuanming asked kindly.
Xia Ze understood what he meant: "You can see it clearly."
Tang Yuanming was a smart man and immediately understood Xia Ze's meaning, nodding to signal him to sit down.
"Alright, let's start class now, but before we begin, I'd like to elect a class monitor."
