Chapter 16: First Place (2/2)

After he finished speaking, regardless of the teacher's reaction, he left with a red face.

Everyone mostly was expecting Xia Ye to be admitted to the best school in the district!

He didn't doubt that Xia Ye's other subjects would follow along with him—just kidding! The son of Mr. Tang Hui’s family taught him personally, and he was considered half a genius. How could they not teach him well?

It's just that this kind of success cannot be replicated. After the head teacher was happy, he felt a little sorrowful. He touched the paper, feeling that the change of a person's fate really depends on opportunities.

Xia Ye was praised in school and when he returned home, he was praised by his father.

Among them, Tang Hongjun was the happiest and kept complimenting him. The child following behind him clapped enthusiastically and looked up at him like a hero, with a look of admiration!

Tang Hongjun set up a table of food at home, and personally cooked some good dishes for Xia Ye.

Teacher Xia wanted to repay them back and went to the kitchen to help out. The three adults in the family were all talking and laughing in the kitchen, but Xia Ye and Tang Jinyu were the only ones sitting in the living room.

Xia Ye is the one who washes the dishes at home and the kitchen is really not the place where his skills are not the most useful, so he sits on the sofa to help watch the little guy.

The child was too obedient and sat there watching him without blinking.

Xia Ye saw the glass jar with sugar cubes on the coffee table. Inside it was half a jar of peanut nougat, packed in a small blue wrapper. He realized that they were all the sweets that he gave to him.

Xia Ye paused and asked, ”Don't like this?”

”Like!”

”Why don't you eat it?”

”Mom said you can eat half a piece a day~”

Xia Ye opened his mouth and took the words back. The child was growing up, and it was true that he could not eat too much candy, which was not good for his teeth.

The little guy sitting next to him was still working hard to praise him: ”Brother, the candy you gave is the best, even better than chocolate! I can't bear to finish it~”

Xia Ye was praised by him and nodded without knowing why, ”I will buy you other things next time.”

”What are you buying?”

”…Sugar, or chocolate?”

”Wow–!”

Xia Ye sat with him for a short while, already thinking about where to buy chocolate tomorrow.

There was a knock at the door. Tang Jinyu wanted to see, but when he got down the sofa, he didn’t stand up properly and fell down. Xia Ye was shocked, he stretched out his hand to protect his head, but he forgot that he wore a watch on his wrist. Tang Jinyu's head collided with his watch and made a crisp sound.

Xia Ye thought to himself, broken, his watch is made of stainless steel.

Looking at the thick carpet in the living room of the Tang family, he felt even more guilty.

The child's head was knocked red, was still silly and he didn't react when he was held by Xia Ye. It took a long time before he reached out to touch his forehead. Xia Ye stopped him and didn't let him touch it.

He didn’t know how to coax a child to stop crying, he didn't know what to think and said, ”No excitement.”

Tang Jinyu: ”???”
