Volume 1: When I Was Young Chapter 10: Devil Training First Day

  "Xiang Xiang, what's so funny?" At the dinner table, Old Master Xia looked at Xiang Xiang with curiosity as she giggled from time to time. His three grandchildren were all too well-behaved, their upbringing was a bit too strict, in comparison, this little granddaughter from outside was more to his liking, daring to love and hate without hesitation. But today, Xia Zhi wasn't even sitting across from her, so why was she laughing so happily?

  "Ah?" Warmed up, she saw everyone's eyes on her face and smiled. Just now, I had a good idea of the future, thinking that I would be in the top ten, thinking that Xiong An'an would confess to me at the graduation ceremony, although it was fake, but being able to get one of the top ten handsome guys in school to confess to me is enough to wipe out my past shame, right? So those people won't think that I'm a Cinderella who no one wants, so those people won't think that I'm not worthy of Xia Zhi's brother... "Today is a good day, Grandpa, and Fei Ge agreed to help me with my studies. When the exam comes, I'll bring back a big prize to honor our ancestors."

  "Take it back home." Xia replied coldly, don't treat yourself as a member of the Xia family, okay? How could there be someone like her in this family?

  "Fei Han Ge, you really agreed with Dou Dou?" Xia Li Qiu's face lit up with joy, how did her friend and brother reach an agreement so peacefully?

  Xia nodded in response to his sister, feeling a bit awkward under the gaze of everyone. Who would have thought that he was willing to give that little bean sprout extra lessons? He had only reluctantly agreed after being coerced and tempted...

  "Do you know to listen carefully to what others say?" Xia Zhi smiled and rubbed War's short hair, who was sitting next to her. Although she was also curious about the situation, seeing them getting along peacefully made her wisely decide not to disrupt this rare balance. Moreover, seeing War being so diligent and hardworking was worthy of praise.

  "Don't worry, Xia Zhige, I'll definitely get into the top ten in our grade!" Warmed up her small fist, her cheeks were puffed out, and her words were unclear, paired with a determined expression, it was hilarious.

  "It's fine that you're making progress, but it's not a good habit to cling to Buddha's feet at the last minute. Follow Li Qiu and study hard from now on." Xia Zhi covered her head with his palm to stop her attempt to lean on his shoulder, for goodness' sake, even though Dad and Mom aren't home for dinner, Grandpa is still here, do you want to be so blatant about eating your own tofu?

  "I must be in the top ten!" Zhang Dandan blinked and promised to keep this bet a secret. This not only concerns her academic future, but also her romantic future.

  "Great, great, having ambition is a good thing." Old Master Xia was very satisfied. This girl had one good point - once she made up her mind to do something, she would go all out and wouldn't be swayed even if ten oxen tried to pull her back. "Grandpa believes in you! If you get into the top ten, Grandpa will reward you!"

  "What reward?" Warmed up, her eyes shining brightly, this was extra, don't refuse: "Can I ask Xia Zhi brother to take me and Li Qiu together on a graduation trip?" Heard from Li Qiu that Xia Zhi and Xia Fei had such plans during the winter break.

  "Of course!" Old Master Xia said with a resounding tone, ignoring the gaze of his two grandsons. As if it's easy to get into the top ten with Doudou's foundation? Of course, you need to hang a big carrot in front of him to motivate him.

  Zhan Zhan and Li Qiu looked at each other and smiled, oh yeah!

  Xia Zhi and Xia Fei were helpless, the old man's orders could not be disobeyed, he said one thing and meant it. Now, is it hoped that DouDou will enter the top ten or not? To be or not to be, that's a question.

  With their hunger and thirst satisfied, Zhang Mama collected the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone moved to the living room. Warlord habitually followed Xia Zhi, but met Xia Fei's icy stare, a silent confrontation began.

  "Don't follow Xia Zhi like a fart..."

  "Not yet time to fulfill the promise..."

  "Then go fulfill it now..."

  "After eating, you should rest first..."

  ……

  "Alright, alright, aren't you two tired of making eyes at each other?" Xia Zhi was exasperated and had a headache. These two people, as soon as they got together, it was like needles pointing at each other's eyes. One was clearly delicate and lovely, although sometimes a bit mischievous and lively, but also knew how to control herself, yet when facing him, she would suddenly become furious like a little tiger; the other was arrogant and cold, silent and few in words, as cold as ice and frost, but when it came to her, he would habitually mock and speak coldly. "Are you two planning on performing a pantomime for us?"

  "Hey, I'm just Xia Zhi's female lead." Warmed up by the thought, she couldn't help but steal a glance at his pink, tender lips. How could a man's mouth be so good-looking? She had been thinking about their last kiss nonstop and even went home to read romance novels again, only to realize that she had missed a great opportunity and only had a shallow taste, without even getting to experience the thrill of it all. Who knows when the next chance will come...

  "Love to learn, not to learn." Xia Fei Han couldn't bear to see this appearance of war, a girl's family had no reserve at all, with a wild and unruly appearance but pretending to have a romantic heart.

  He didn't dare to turn back, so he could only stick out his tongue and make a face at him. His gaze also swept over Xia Fei Han's lips, which were just as beautiful, but because of his habit of pursing them, they seemed slightly thinner - kissing him must be freezing, right?

  "Alright, alright, a good opportunity should be seized firmly. Who knows if Fei Han will regret it later? If so, there's no turning back. Go ahead, I'll send you home after your studies." Xia Zhi played the peacemaker again. It's really unknown what would happen to those two people if he weren't around; perhaps they'd tear the house apart.

  "Really?" Zhan Zhan belongs to the kind of person who will be radiant with a little sunshine, Xia Zhi Gege sent me back home! What good treatment! "Hurry up, Xia Leng! Hurry and learn, hurry and learn! After learning, I want to go home!"

  Xia Fei's face was gloomy with a hint of anger. He had worked so hard as a teacher, but was treated like this by her - wasn't it unfair?

  "Huh? Brother Fei Han, let's start learning quickly! The mission of the revolution is glorious and arduous, we must work together to defeat this great devil, our textbook!" Zhan Yunyun immediately sensed Xia Feihan's anger brewing like a stormy weather, and hastily made amends. Changing her expression was something she was most skilled at.

  "Go ahead, Fei Han, you've worked hard." Xia Zhi also comforted his brother's emotions. As for Dou Dou, he was speechless and always made Fei Han jump with anger.

  Tiresome? Xia Fei glanced at Xia Zhi beside him, who was grasping the last moments of her own fantasy, and a hint of cold smile played on his lips. He would definitely let her know what it means to be tiresome.
