When I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Mei sitting half-upright beside me, panting heavily, as if she had had a nightmare.
Xia Donghai quickly comforted her, "Meimei, what's wrong, Meimei!"
Liu Mei clutched her chest, panting heavily.
That was terrifying, that dream was so scary.
Perhaps because she saw too many pet rats at the pet market during the day, Liu Mei's dreams were filled with being chased by a giant rat.
This frightened her.
"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Auntie, are you okay?"
"What's going on? Did an alien appear, or a ghost?"
"sleepy."
Liu Mei also woke up the four children in the family.
One by one, they rushed to Liu Mei's room, asking her with concern what had happened.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom had a nightmare about 'May 13th'. Everyone should go back to sleep since we have school tomorrow."
Xia Donghai comforted Liu Mei while explaining to the children.
Hearing this, Xia Ze and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought something terrible had happened from the screams, but it turned out to be just a nightmare.
"Let's go, let's go back to sleep."
Xia Ze could understand.
In the original drama, Liu Mei was terrified of mice, but today, in order to get closer to Xiao Xue, she forced herself to say that she also liked pet mice.
As a result, Xiaoxue kept me entertained with the white mouse for half a day, no wonder I had nightmares that night.
In the master bedroom.
Liu Mei was so frightened by the nightmare that she cried.
Xia Donghai felt heartbroken looking at his wife crying in his arms: "Meimei, let's tell Xiaoxue the truth."
"No, no, you can't tell Xiaoxue." Liu Mei quickly stopped Xia Donghai.
This is a great opportunity for her to get closer to Xiaoxue.
Even if she was terrified, she had to overcome it.
"Why?"
"Xiaoxue likes mice so much. If I said I hate mice, wouldn't our hard-earned friendship be ruined because of a mouse?"
Xia Donghai thought it made some sense, but things couldn't go on like this forever.
"But can you really keep going like this?"
"It's okay, just grit your teeth and you'll get used to it. Besides, I finally got this opportunity, how can I give it up so easily?"
Liu Mei smiled; she truly didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Thinking back to when Xiaoxue first came, I only called her "Hey" before gradually calling her "Auntie".
And today, because of a little white mouse, she sweetly and affectionately calls him "Auntie," isn't that wonderful?
If we keep trying, maybe in a couple of days she'll be calling me "Mom."
Xia Donghai listened to his wife's words.
With a wife like this in his heart, what more could a husband ask for?
"I am so touched by how you treat Xiaoxue, but I feel that this is a bit unfair to you."
Liu Mei smiled and rested her head on Xia Donghai's shoulder: "I'm not wronged at all. I'm not wronged at all for the sake of the children."
…………
Monday.
On the first day of school, Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao arrived at the classroom early.
Today is the day for the radio station's assessment.
The two of them took the manuscript and warmed up before the assessment.
Lin Miaomiao recited the poem "The Petrel".
Xia Ze recited only the "Memorial to the Throne on the Eve of the Northern Expedition" from the textbook.
Both of them were popular in the class, so they were very suitable for She Niu to stand on the stage and perform.
Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi were clapping enthusiastically below.
"Okay, good point!"
"Well done! Guards, give them a reward!"
"Her voice is high-pitched and delicate, and her expressions are bold and innovative. She truly deserves to be called a rising star."
"Fang Yifan, what you're saying is utter nonsense."
"Tch, Dog Bro, you don't know anything. This is a language I created myself."
Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao finished carving the words and reciting the manuscript.
Amidst applause from below, they began their duo speech. To demonstrate their chemistry, they were to perform a crosstalk routine instead of reciting a text.
This not only allows for a tacit understanding in performance but also showcases eloquence and the ability to engage the audience.
Soon, Xia Ze received a message from Pan Yuansheng.
The two of them took the manuscript to the examination room.
Xia Ze pushed open the door and saw Pan Yuansheng sitting in the examiner's seat, with two men and two women next to him.
Judging from their appearance, one of the men and women should be teachers, and the other man and woman should be upperclassmen.
"Students, please come in. How can we conduct the assessment if you're standing outside?" the female assistant examiner said.
Lin Miaomiao, standing outside the door, was still a little nervous.
Xia Ze smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, have some confidence in yourself."
With Xia Ze's encouragement, Lin Miaomiao regained her confidence.
The two immediately went inside.
"Xia Zelin and Miaomiao, you two are here." Pan Yuansheng looked at the two with a smile on his face.
I was particularly curious whether Xia Ze could keep his promise.
It truly allows both individuals to reach a professional level.
Actually, he still didn't quite believe it, after all, so many things had happened to them in the past two days.
Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao were delayed for two or three days because of Xie Jiang's matter last week.
These two weeks were already more than ten days, minus two or three days, making it even less, and neither of them had specifically studied it beforehand.
He truly couldn't believe that Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao could have a professional level of skill.
"Which of you two will start first?" Pan Yuansheng asked, looking at the two of them.
Xia Ze and Lin Miaomiao exchanged a glance.
The two had originally agreed that Lin Miaomiao would start first, but now that she was a little nervous, Xia Ze took the initiative to step forward.
"This male student is really good-looking. I wonder what his voice is like?"
"It's probably not bad, otherwise Director Pan wouldn't have given him the opportunity."
"Who knows? Let's watch his performance!"
The deputy examiner and the others were very satisfied with Xia Ze's appearance.
Xia Ze confidently stepped forward, picked up the manuscript, and began to deliver a passionate speech, beginning with the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops."
"The late emperor passed away before completing his great undertaking!"
"The empire is now divided into three, and Yizhou is exhausted. This is truly a critical moment of survival."
"Yet the ministers who serve within the palace are diligent, and the loyal and devoted officials who forget themselves outside, are all because of the extraordinary favor bestowed upon them by the late emperor..."
Xia Ze had just opened his mouth when the chief examiner, Pan Yuansheng, and the others were all stunned.
"This is the 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops'? He actually recited the 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops' during his test!"
"That's impressive. I've tested so many students, and I've never seen anyone dare to recite the 'Memorial to the Throne'."
"This junior is really bold. The 'Memorial to the Throne' is so long; he'll probably lose points if he doesn't memorize it. 3.5"
No one expected that Xia Ze would be reciting the "Memorial to the Throne" (出师表).
Since its establishment, no student has ever had to memorize such a long text at this school radio station.
They mostly selected short and medium-length poems and essays.
