After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

"By the way, is there a parent-teacher conference next Monday...?"

On the late-night bus home after evening self-study,

Li You, on the verge of death, sat bolt upright in his sleep, looked at Xu Chuan beside him, and then asked, "Is it your mother or your father who came...?"

"This time, anyone can come," Xu Chuan said confidently.

Li You was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.

Yeah! Gouchuan did well on the exam this time! Damn!

So, after the parent-teacher meeting, Min-jie's private talk was only for him...

Oh, and his parents too...

"We have a traitor among us..." Yuzu said sadly.

The young man's emotional outline features a rare touch of blue, but it's a "sad blue."

"However, I still hope that Lao Xu will come..." Xu Chuan rubbed his chin.

Because if Lao Xu comes to the parent-teacher meeting, at least there won't be so much trouble.

If Su Tai later did poorly on the exam, Min Jie wouldn't even need to contact her; she would go to Xu Chuan's office alone and have a brainstorming session with him.

Then they devised some completely impractical "learning methods".

For example, specifying the exact time he should wake up, the exact time he should study math, and the exact time he should study English, filling his schedule completely according to his weaker subjects.

The plan looks well-thought-out, but if the buses are delayed by ten or twenty minutes, it could be a matter of life and death.

Xu Chuan could only manage to keep up the rule for half a day before breaking it again. He could only manage a day at most before continuing his muddled existence.

This applies to situations where the test didn't go well. As for situations where the test went well...

To be honest, Xu Chuan had never had this kind of experience before; this was his first time.

But he could actually predict it pretty much.

Empress Dowager Su will most likely find Sister Min again, summarize some fabricated "elements of progress" for Xu Chuan to maintain, and then make up some random plans...

In order to prevent the anticipated situation from happening, after parting ways with Li You at Qinghe Community, Xu Chuan took out his phone and called Lao Xu.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Chuan got straight to the point.

"Dad, we have a parent-teacher conference next Monday," Xu Chuan said solemnly.

But the person on the other end of the phone sighed softly.

"Chuanzi, why are you telling me this... Don't you know your dad is extremely busy, he has so many things to do..."

"I've improved to sixth in the class this time."

"?!"

The phone vibrated on the other end.

Seemingly startled by the news, after a while, Old Xu asked in a somewhat doubtful tone.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Old Xu has no feelings left..."

"Really?! That's great!"

Old Xu's tone became more animated, as if he were genuinely excited.

Chuanzi... doesn't need to go to a vocational college anymore?

This is a huge improvement. After all, when visiting relatives during holidays, the most frequent question is about children's grades, especially for high school students.

The children of Old Xu's relatives and friends are all either graduates of top-tier universities (985/211) or studying abroad, or at the very least, they have a bachelor's degree.

Although Old Xu didn't take these things too seriously, it was mainly because he had neglected Xu Chuan's academic development.

He himself knew this, so he didn't have high expectations for Xu Chuan.

However, I still feel a little ashamed when chatting with relatives.

It's not that I dislike Xu Chuan and his academic performance; let's use a better analogy...

Just like the daily competition showcase, I'm referring to the daily shining competition for Rock Elf pets.

Everyone else is saying, "Go, Fiery War God!"

Go forth, Holy Light Dimo.

Go, Parsas.

When it was Old Xu's turn, it became: Go ahead, meow meow.

Then Xu Chuan went up and meowed twice...

And now... has Meow Meow finally evolved into Fighting Cool Cat?

Old Xu was very touched.

"Kawako has grown up!"

"So, are you coming this time, or is my mom coming?"

"Forehead……"

At this point, Old Xu paused for a moment, then continued, "I can come."

Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. Then it'll start next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Thanks, Dad..."

"But your mother is coming too."

Old Xu interrupted Xu Chuan's MVP speech and continued, "There are two options, you choose one..."

"First, I won't be coming. Your mom will go back to Yiyue City next week and attend your parent-teacher conference there."

"Secondly, your mother and I will go back together and attend your parent-teacher conference while we're there."

"..."

Xu Chuan's eye twitched twice. "So, to put it bluntly: Empress Dowager Su will definitely come, and my old father... is just there to make up the numbers?"

"Hey? You little brat—"

"..."

The call has ended.

Xu Chuan let out a long sigh.

The people have suffered for too long. Are there any Sichuanese soldiers who want to join me in an uprising?

No need to rush, this needs careful planning. Right now, there's no one behind him. Oh, there should be a small, weak star.

It's not going to amount to much yet.

I took out my keys, opened the door, went home, and entered the living room.

Xu Wanxing heard the sound, got up from the chair in her room, and walked to the door.

Her room door was open, and Xu Chuan turned his head and saw her.

"Xu Chuan." A smile appeared on Xu Wanxing's face.

"Ai."

"..."

After exchanging greetings, the two remained silent for two or three seconds. Then, Liangmianπ emerged from its cat bed, wagging its tail and rubbing against Xu Chuan's leg.

Hmm... The atmosphere is a little awkward, but thankfully there are elderly people here.

Moreover, it inexplicably feels like the daily life of an old married couple in a Japanese anime.

The door was pushed open.

The wife smiled and said, "Oh my god~"

Or the husband might say, "His period—"

Have Little Star and I already reached this point?

Last night was our first night living together, and today is practically our first day. It's clear that distance and privacy are quite important in relationships.

When Xu Chuan lived alone before, the first thing he would do after school was to yell a couple of times to vent his emotions, then throw down his schoolbag and do whatever he wanted.

Now the population density under this roof has doubled, with the addition of a female star and a foreign race called Liangmianπ.

As an indigenous person, Xu Chuan does feel constrained if he doesn't speak up.

We still need to adapt.

Will you adapt? Yes, you will!

"Oh, right!"

Xu Chuan, who was squatting and petting the cat, suddenly remembered something, looked up and smiled at Xu Wanxing, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, talking as he washed.

"I can tie the hair tie we bought before now, I'll do it for you."

Xu Wanxing's eyes lit up, she said "okay" and turned around to run back to her room.

Xu Chuan wiped his hands, followed her, and stood at the door of her room for a while, looking inside.

Xu Wanxing squatted in front of the bedside table, rummaging through the drawers.

It's hiding so well, just like a little hamster.

Xu Chuan walked into her room, glancing around as he went.

This originally abandoned secondary bedroom was cleaned and transformed by Empress Dowager Su. On the bed, which was neither too big nor too small, a small yellow checkered quilt was neatly folded, and a matching pillow was placed loosely on top.

"You fold it so neatly even at home!" Xu Chuan secretly admired Xu Wanxing's discipline.

In his own room, the blankets were still in the same messy state as when he woke up that morning.

Even if he's not in a rush when he gets up in the morning, he'll just shake it a couple of times and fold it to one side.

"Xu Chuan, I bought chicken wings from the supermarket this afternoon and froze them."

Xu Wanxing carefully took out the gift box containing the hair tie and casually mentioned her preparations to Xu Chuan.

"You're going out with your friends tomorrow night, so we'll eat it the night after tomorrow. I checked, as long as the packaging isn't opened, it'll be fine to freeze it for another day..."

As she spoke, a joyful smile graced her face, and she even licked her lips, looking very expectant.

Xu Chuan took the gift box from Xu Wanxing and took out a hair tie from it.

He pushed Xu Wanxing's shoulder and pressed her down in front of her desk, speaking casually.

"How can you be so stupid? You bought it this afternoon, can't you just eat it for him at dinner tonight and then we can buy fresh ones the day after tomorrow?"

"I……"

Xu Wanxing sat blankly at the desk, feeling Xu Chuan behind her take off the black hair tie she was wearing and then gently stroke her hair.

Her voice was soft.

"I didn't know you were switching seats tonight and you were eating chicken wings at school... I wanted to eat with you..."

"..."

Following Princess Xixi's previous technique, Xu Chuan wrapped the sunflower-beaded hair tie around his finger.

He gently patted Xu Wanxing's head in front of him.

That wretched little star!

Another blow to me!
