Part 6

She often feels that weekends are becoming increasingly distant, perhaps due to the overwhelming number of courses. Rarely does she have a weekend to herself, and only on Sunday mornings can she indulge in staying in bed.

Su Xiaocheng silently turned to the next page, her brows furrowing even tighter, "What is this thing called a guideline? Can it be eaten!"

In addition to the increased workload, Su Xiaocheng also noticed differences compared to before

"You do have some self-awareness," he unexpectedly smiled slightly, stood up to refill the soup, "Would you like some?"

What kind of image has she shaped in front of Qin Zhaoyang over all these years

Qin Zhao Yang remains as steadfast as a mountain, as always

What is "ru zhuai"? Is it delicious?

Su Xiaocheng still remembers when she was in the sixth grade, at the beginning of the school year, all the girls in the class huddled together chattering, but she had never seen anyone so dedicated to reading and doing homework. ... But here ...

Alas, it is simply impossible to be friends happily

As soon as I squinted my eyes, I heard him say: "Fifty percent of it is because you are too foolish to understand at all"

Qin Zhaoyang raised an eyebrow without a change in expression, yet the smile in his eyes deepened further

Su Xiaocheng was quiet for a moment, then said: "One X is enough, why do we need another Y? And they are so affectionate with each other..."

After a while, she turned her head again to make some noise, "How likely is it that the extermination master has prepared the lesson incorrectly?"

Usually, when she was still engrossed in her work, she would look up and see Qin Zhaoyang across from her, seriously playing with his model, and he wore a rather bored expression... until she finished her homework.

After entering junior high school, Su Xiaocheng found that the amount of homework was increasing. She had to start her homework right after dinner and work until 8:30 in the evening just to complete the assignments given by her teachers. She was so busy that she no longer had time to watch her soap operas

This inexplicable motivation left Qin Zhaoyang somewhat perplexed

Su Xiaocheng followed his gaze and saw someone who held a book even during mealtime, which instantly halved her appetite. "It's over, I'm going to have to dig deep again."

Su Xiaocheng stared at the bizarre shapes in front of her, worried to the point that her hair might turn white. "It is obvious at a glance that it is a right triangle; why spend time proving it..."

Su Xiaocheng: "... ..." After humiliating herself for so many years, she realized that she still had not made any progress at all

She silently pressed her forehead, suddenly giving rise to a thought that felt completely out of place

However, doing homework

However, the fans of Su Qiancheng are well aware of the existence of Su Xiaocheng. He rarely shares family photos and high-definition pictures of his daughter, and for a moment, Su Qiancheng firmly occupied the top spot on Weibo's trending topics.

Occasionally encountering one or two people who actually express envy and jealousy for growing up alongside Qin Zhaoyang makes Su Xiaocheng want to cry in front of them. Damn it, if you envy it, then it's yours! Who would willingly want to be trained to withstand adversity every day!

She wants to find someone to chat with, but no one is paying attention to her

Su Xiaocheng suddenly lost even the appetite that had already diminished by half

Su Xiaocheng glanced at the bowl that had not a single drop of soup left, with only a piece of seaweed resting at the bottom, and sadly nodded. Her love for seaweed soup was genuine

Seeing her still staring at him, Qin Zhaoyang raised his head in displeasure and cast her a warning glance, "If I were really to poison you, would you still be able to sit here now"

On the first day of school, Su's father insisted on taking Su Xiaocheng to school, and along the way, he also brought along the somewhat reluctant Qin Zhaoyang who was hitching a ride.

Qin Zhaoyang flipped through the pages of the book in her hand, yet she had not voiced any protest. He couldn't help but look over curiously, as Su Xiaocheng was focused on the square-shaped Q-version character illustrations.

Su Xiaocheng entered the school as the last in her class, so on her first day of school, she clearly expressed her concerns about whether she would lower the school's graduation rate

Qin Zhaoyang ignored her

Qin Zhaoyang was choked half to death by her words, and his expression immediately darkened.

After a brief moment of silence by Qin Zhaoyang's ear, he raised his head to glance at her notebook and replied rather rudely: "The possibility is almost zero; you have this illusion fifty percent of the time because you weren't paying attention in class"

Su Xiaocheng foolishly followed his words and asked: "What about the other fifty percent?"

Qin Zhaoyang's brows finally furrowed slightly; he put down the book and turned to glance at her, "Although low intelligence is not contagious, could you please be quiet and not constantly remind me of how foolish you are..."

Su Xiaocheng immediately shut up happily

Su Xiaocheng thought about opening instant noodles in the future, but felt a bit sad when she realized that there was no golden retriever to help her with the small sausages included inside, feeling it was too wasteful of dog resources

Thus, this summer vacation feels particularly long

Because the learning atmosphere at the First Middle School is indeed somewhat tense

She was still wondering if the Crown Prince had finally found his conscience and would praise her for once

Su Xiaocheng's entrance examination was held at No. 1 High School. As the top-ranked school in City A, No. 1 High School is undoubtedly a prestigious institution, and the learning environment is beyond reproach

Su Xiaocheng's adaptability can barely be considered as not holding back; half of her entire middle school life has passed, and only then has she finally gotten used to the much faster pace of learning compared to elementary school, truly integrating into it

Every time Su Xiaocheng felt overwhelmed by her homework, she would lean on her pen and gaze enviously at Qin Zhaoyang, staring until he could no longer ignore her gaze and turned his face to look at her

She held a bowl of instant noodles, sighing deeply. Qin Zhaoyang could no longer bear to watch and gently tapped his fingers on the table, saying, "You were the one who insisted on having instant noodles. Why do you have to put on a face as if I am forcing you now?"

Then she saw that Aunt Cheng next door had forwarded this Weibo post, accompanied by a comment: "In-law, did you get my son's permission to post a photo of my daughter-in-law?"

Every time at this moment, Su Xiaocheng becomes invigorated as if she has been injected with adrenaline, continuing to fight on

Qin Zhaoyang could not be bothered to pay her any attention, lowering his head to eat, his movements were nothing short of elegant, a true feast for the eyes

This was the first time the young girl was publicly photographed by her father; she gazed at the screen with sparkling eyes, feeling a bit shy yet unable to contain her smile.

After a peaceful and warm atmosphere during lunch, Su Xiaocheng began to do her homework

"Did you not get into any trouble?" He tidied up the plate in front of him

She held the pen, making corrections and adjustments, and after a few strokes, she finished the drawing that she wanted to show to Qin Zhaoyang. Upon closer inspection of the picture, her face turned pale, "It's over, this assignment has to be submitted to the extermination master for review..."

Because Qin Zhaoyang is good at studying and has a passion for books, and unlike her, he does not lack self-discipline, Qin Mo and Cheng An'an completely adopt a laissez-faire approach to his education, allowing him to do as he pleases with minimal interference

When Qin Zhao Yang brought her the soup, she felt that something was amiss in the world, as if many people were watching her

He cast a glance, yet the corners of his lips slowly curved upward

Su Xiaocheng was held in her father's arms while reading comments, with a lollipop in her mouth

Su Xiaocheng raised her eyes brightly, looking at him with some confusion, "What?"

Su Xiaocheng quickly buried her head in her food. In a place filled with top students, how could she, a poor student, have the strength to withstand setbacks if she didn't eat enough? ... Thinking this, she felt she could have another bowl

It had been a long time since she heard Su Qiancheng respond to her. She turned her head to take a glance, and saw that Su's father's face was dark and stern, resembling the expression he wore every time she made a mistake. She shuddered all over, bit her lollipop, jumped off her father's lap, and ran away.

She bit the lollipop, making a crunching sound, and scratched Su Qiancheng's hand, asking him, "Dad, what does 'in-laws' mean?"

Once the Crown Prince's expression turns unfriendly, the consequences are not something Su Xiaocheng alone can bear, so she obediently lowers her head to slurp her noodles

This summer vacation held no sense of farewell or sadness for Su Xiaocheng; instead, she felt an inexplicable anticipation for the First High School.

"Is the middle school curriculum still suitable?" He took a sip of soup, put down his chopsticks, and said, "I should ask you whether the teachers who have taught you still have a deep impression of you now."

She silently glanced around and curiously licked the seaweed soup beside her, "Did you poison it?"

Somewhat gossipy girls even straightforwardly approached her to inquire, to the point that in the end, Su Xiaocheng became somewhat neurotic, feeling that everyone who approached her was doing so to obtain personal information about Qin Zhaoyang for free

The female classmates here are much more gossipy than her elementary school classmates, especially enjoying gossiping about handsome men. Qin Zhaoyang, as a charming figure, makes Su Xiaocheng feel somewhat uncomfortable if she goes a day without hearing his name mentioned.

Before she ran out of the study, she heard Father Su gritting his teeth and saying: "If you want to be my in-law, your son should be prepared to marry into our family."

During lunch, when Su Xiaocheng told Qin Zhaoyang about this matter in a tone of great surprise, he merely raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to glance behind her.

Su Xiaocheng is indeed rare to have a talent for painting. Over the years, this is the first time she has surprisingly persisted in one thing for so many years

Su Xiaocheng felt even more melancholic at that moment, "Isn't it because I have no food to eat that I am resorting to instant noodles?"

In contrast, Qin Zhaoyang usually completes her assignments before 7:30, which is significantly more efficient than hers

She was once a positive and uplifting young girl, but now she has become so dark that she could seek revenge on society. Who did this? Qin Zhaoyang!

Because she still has to go to Song Xingchen's place to learn painting on Saturday, but it is said that she will enter a professional art guidance class in the second year of junior high school

To a certain extent, Su Xiaocheng's level of awe towards Qin Zhaoyang is much stronger than that towards her own mother... Fortunately, Han's mother is unaware of this; otherwise, she would have performed the act of breaking stones on her chest at the doorstep...

The puzzle that Dad Su gave her was finally completed before the start of the school year. She smiled and made a peace sign next to the large puzzle, asking Dad to take a photo to upload to Weibo
