Chapter 11 (2/2)
However, what Tang Xiu did not know was that when he suddenly stopped looking at his books to learn and sat on his seat “daydreaming” every day, and even frequently ignored Yuan Chuling’s questions, Yuan Chuling’s heart sank straight down as he looked at Tang Xiu, feeling worried and anxious.
Not only was Yuan Chuling feeling this way, but even Han Qingwu and Cheng Yannan, who secretly cared for Tang Xiu, were worried.
Although there were people who were worried about Tang Xiu, but there were also people who subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.
“That scared me, Tang Xiu was always reading books and doing practice papers all day long, not leaving his seat when he just came into our class. I still thought that his mind had recovered back to normal and would pull up his grades during this last three months.” After reaching home, Su Xiangfei took off his shoe, threw his bag to one side, and jumped onto the wide and soft sofa.
“You’re saying that Tang Xiu isn’t looking at his books and doing practice papers anymore?” Hearing Su Xiangfei’s words, Zhang Meiyun, who was paying attention to the television program, became energetic.
“Either he can’t continue acting anymore or that he has no more energy to continue studying even when he wants to. Every day he is just sitting with his mind somewhere else, he would even daydream when the teacher calls his name, angering the teacher.” Su Xiangfei’s mouth twitched as he said in disdain.
“Mum, you’re thinking too much, how could Tang Xiu’s mind have recovered. The incident last month was definitely a coincidence, most probably it was due to us pressuring him too much, that’s why he would ramble all that to dad. If Tang Xiu’s mind was really recovered, then why would he use his head to knock onto dad?” Su Yaning said without much thought as she peeled a pine and put it in her mouth.
Su Shangwen kept feeling that there was something wrong when he recalled being knocked and stabbed all over by Tang Xiu. Although one month had passed, but Su Shangwen could not forget that incident as he had never felt so ashamed before in this ten-over years.
“Was it really just all a coincidence?” Su Shangwen gradually began to believe their judgement when he couldn’t think of any possible reason after thinking for a long while.
“Shangwen, stop being suspicious already. Did you really believe Su Lingyun, this bitch, when she said that her son’s mind had recovered? With our son monitoring Tang Xiu every day, do you still need to worry that he will escape from our hands? As long as he dares to walk out of the school compound, even if his mind had really recovered, we would also be able to make it not normal again!” Seeing the worried expression on her husband’s face, Zhang Meiyun walked to her husband’s side and pursed her lips as she whispered softly beside his ears.
Even though Su Shangwen did not like Tang Xiu, but he still felt uncomfortable inside when he heard his wife spew out words like bitch and bastard from her mouth.
When Su Shangwen heard that his wife had already found people to deal with Tang Xiu, his heart skipped a beat and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to stop her, but after thinking back on humiliation given by Tang Xiu, he stopped himself.
A month’s time flew past unknowingly and the second monthly test for Year 3 students was coming. During this time, Tang Xiu had still not found a suitable cultivation technique for himself. It was not that Tang Xiu did not want to recover his cultivation that he had in the Immortal World as soon as possible, but it was because he simply could not do it.
Compared to the Immortal World that was concentrated with spiritual energy, Earth was like a barren wasteland with spiritual energy being too sparse.
When Tang Xiu was in the Immortal World, he had collected countless cultivation techniques and martial skills, and had also bought and exchanged countless heirlooms and secret manuals. However, with Earth having such sparse spiritual energy, Tang Xiu realised that not a single cultivation technique and martial skill could be trained after trying all of them.
“Tang Xiu, you must really work hard for this upcoming monthly test. I just had a gamble with Teacher Hu in the office that if your results drop again this time, then my next month’s pay would be given to him; and if your result is not the lowest in the cohort, then his next month’s pay would all be given to me. Whether I can hold onto my pay will depend on you.”
When Han Qingwu realised that Tang Xiu was still daydreaming and not in his right state of mind even though the test was coming soon, she couldn’t help calling Tang Xiu into her office to plead him, almost flirtatiously.
Listening to Han Qingwu’s close whispering voice, and looking at her playful expression, Han Qingwu’s face and Xue Qingcheng, his lover in the Immortal World, gradually merged into one. With a sudden realisation, Tang Xiu embraced Han Qingwu’s body as he lightly imprinted his kiss on Han Qingwu’s ice-cold cherry lips.
