After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

The morning's classes passed just like that.

Around noon, when school was about to let out, Xu Chuan sent a message to Xu Wanxing.

Xu Chuan:【I need your help.】

Little Star: [Smiling]

Yes, this smile was so reassuring for the first time. This was the confidence that the disciple of the third sect in Yiyue City brought to Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan: [How's your English?]

The message "The other party is typing..." flashed several times.

It was sent a while later.

Little Star: [Xu Chuan, my English is a bit poor (sighs)]

"Oh, what a coincidence..."

Xu Chuan felt bad, "English just happens to be Xu Wanxing's weak point..."

Is it really going to be that unlucky? Am I really going to have to go and have a go at Princess Xixi's newbie training session?

What should I do if Xiaoxuan gets jealous and hurts my feelings?

Xu Chuan: [What's your usual English score on the monthly exam? (Nervous)]

They took a long time to send a number.

Little Star: [My placement test score was 135 (sigh)]

"..."

"..."

Xu Chuan: [You need to give us an apology!]

Little Star: [I'm sorry, Xu Chuan]

Xu Chuan: [Say, "I'm sorry, everyone," because you've hurt more than just me.]

Little Star: [I'm sorry, everyone]

Children, do you accept this?

Xu Chuan: [(Animated emoticon: Hmph! I'm ignoring you!)]

The mischievous kitten with its arms crossed emoji was just sent out...

The input method on the other end seemed to suddenly become flustered; the "typing..." message at the top of the chat box started flashing faster.

Little Star: [I'm sorry... Could you please not ignore me...?]

Little Star: [(Tears)]

Xu Wanxing seems to only use the default soybean emoji on WeChat, but the way she posts this most ordinary crying emoji makes it seem particularly funny.

How can she be so cute?

Xu Chuan: [As punishment, you have to help me write the questions for the English competition today.]

Xu Chuan: [If you don't teach me, I won't forgive you (arrogance)]

Little Star: [Smiling]

Little Star: [So many]

The other party retracted a message.

Little Star: [Okay]

Xu Chuan raised his phone, took a picture of the printed question bank materials spread out on the desk, and then sent the photo to Xu Wanxing so that she could start working on it.

Most of the grammar questions are useless.

Xu Chuan roughly guessed the main purpose of the preliminary round of the English competition at Jiangting University.

Grammar actually accounts for a very small percentage of actual English usage, but in the preliminary rounds, its main role is screening.

People with a strong foundation in English and high test scores may not necessarily have excellent grammar, but those with excellent English grammar definitely have a strong foundation in English, and that's exactly the kind of person they're looking for.

So, Xu Chuan first sent these questions to Xu Wanxing so she could do them first, and then sent her a few notes every now and then so she could work on them in advance in the afternoon. When they got back from school in the evening, the two of them met in person and quickly connected. It was perfect and efficient!

"Chuanzi, who are you messaging this time?"

At lunchtime, on their way to the cafeteria, the four of them, including Li You, walked next to Xu Chuan, sticking out his tongue, tilting his head back, and trying to sneak a peek.

Xu Chuan moved his hand holding the phone to the side, causing Youzi to lose sight of him.

"Have you been feeling down lately, secretly having an online romance? Don't worry, Dad doesn't object to you dating early..."

"I'm talking to your mom about serious business, little Yuzu, stop fooling around~"

Xu Chuan sent the last picture to Xu Wanxing and then logged out of WeChat.

Looking up, he realized that Li Jiaxin, who was walking ahead with Ren Shuer, was turning back to look at him.

"Xu Chuan, is your mom coming to No. 3 Middle School this Sunday for some sweet soup? She rarely comes back to Yiyue, she shouldn't try it!"

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the lie he told them about Empress Dowager Su's return hadn't been covered up yet.

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll reveal your true colors in front of my mom. She tells me every day to play with good kids..."

"Hahaha……"

Li Jiaxin laughed, then shook Ren Shu'er's arm, turned her head and looked at Xu Chuan with her mouth open: "Isn't Shu'er a good girl? She's the top student in Class 8 when they divided into arts and sciences classes..."

"Shu'er definitely is, what does that have to do with you?" Xu Chuan made a face at her.

"What? Xu Chuan, how can you be so shameless? I scored much higher than you last time..."

Michelle Reis, her competitive spirit as a woman also stirred, retorted, "I scored thirty points higher than you in English alone. If I'm not a good kid, then what are you?"

"This is the last time. I'll surpass you in next week's monthly exam."

"Ha, ha? Xu Chuan, if you can score higher than me on your monthly English exam, I'll call you dad."

Michelle Reis wore a casual smile. "You can't beat me in the exam."

An absolute powerhouse, the confidence that came from that, taught her English—h!

"Children, children..."

Yuzu half-raised his hands, interrupting the argument. He looked left and right, a smile on his face, and said loudly.

"How am I?"

Xu Chuan: "..."

Michelle Reis: "..."

My family burst out laughing!

Xu Chuan suddenly burst into laughter, unable to speak. He wrapped his arm around Li You's shoulder, trembling slightly. Li Jiaxin buried her face in Ren Shuer's arm and laughed.

But, amidst this joyful atmosphere, there were actually people besides Li You who managed to hold back!

That's right, she is Ren Shu'er.

She merely raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Moreover, the reason was not Li You's laughable words and actions just now, but the conversation between Xu Chuan and Li Jiaxin before that.

"Shu'er definitely is, so what's it to you?"

This is Xu Chuan's favoritism; he's really blatant about it...

Ren Shu'er gently shook her head, but she also felt it was a bit too early to meet his mother now.

Just like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law, even the most outstanding son-in-law will be a little nervous...

I imagine you're quite nervous about this too.

Ren Shu'er glanced back at Xu Chuan again, only to find him still playfully fighting with Li You. She then turned back, lifted the plastic curtain of the cafeteria, and walked in with a graceful and elegant air.

However, my relationship with Xu Chuan hasn't reached that point yet.

Although his advances were fierce and his love was intense, I'm not a shallow and ignorant girl like Lin Xixi.

The absolute top science student in Class 8 of Grade 11, consistently ranking in the top three overall, and Min-jie's most capable class leader—that's my inner strength.

The gap is not small; it's been three years.

Xu Chuan, can you... catch up with me?
