"Really? I heard from your fourth brother that the teachers and students at school all like Xiaoxi very much. Xiaoxi is a big star."

"Dad, you don't know, all the classmates in my class are so childish. We're not on the same wavelength, and it's so tiring to talk to them!"

"Then who are Xiaoxi's friends who are on the same wavelength?"

"Only those like Grandpa Cheng, the master appraiser, Grandpa Xu, the old Chinese medicine doctor, and Grandpa Wu, the martial arts school director, can you talk to."

"Hahahaha." Ye Yuan laughed.

"Why are all of Xiaoxi's best friends grandfathers? Doesn't that make our Xiaoxi too mature?"

"There are young people too? Brother Da Bao, Brother Yang, and Special Forces Brother Feng also have voice chat with Xiao Xi!"

Ye Yuan shook his head. "Look, Xiao Xi's friends are all grandfathers, uncles, or older brothers. Aren't there any little girls among them?"

It's not good if it's a male friend, is it?

“Then Dad will go and talk to Fourth Brother and let Xiaoxi go directly to junior high school. Fourth Brother didn’t agree to Xiaoxi before, but now that Dad is talking to him, he will definitely listen to Dad.”

"No way!" Ye Yuan refused outright.

"Oh, Dad, don't you love me anymore?"

"Our Ye family has good genes. You and Mom are both so outstanding. Xiaoxi is your daughter, and she's already a little genius. She could easily go to high school or even university, let alone junior high."

Xiao Xi tried everything to be cute and charming, but Ye Yuan remained unmoved.

Xiaoxi was really unhappy now.

It was only then that Ye Yuan began to reason with his daughter.

"Xiaoxi, every age has its own kind of happiness. You should cherish and appreciate it. When Xiaoxi grows up, she will understand that the happiness of childhood is irreplaceable."

Xiaoxi knew that her father would not agree.

She immediately resumed her normal demeanor, "Okay, Dad, let's eat."

"Xiaoxi, I haven't finished speaking. Dad is a soldier, and Xiaoxi is also a soldier. You can't be willful all the time."

"Yes, sir! I promise to obey your orders!" Xiaoxi stood at attention and saluted.

Ye Yuan suddenly felt helpless and guilty.

He didn't have time to personally educate his eight sons, and he was also absent during Xiaoxi's upbringing. The nature of his profession also prevented him from being with Xiaoxi throughout her childhood.

The next day, Xiaoxi adjusted her mindset and went to school. Since she couldn't change anything, she might as well just endure it.

As a result, during the second period in the morning, the homeroom teacher made an enthusiastic announcement.

"Students, the 30th of this month is our 10th anniversary. The school will be holding a gala party on that day, so please sign up quickly!"

A student asked, "Teacher, is the gala a performance? That's great! I love performing on stage."

Xiaoxi sat at the last table, looking helpless in the corner.

What kind of trouble are they causing now?

She automatically ignored the expectant look from the teacher: Anyway, I'm not participating. I'll just watch. I'll watch my classmates perform. I'll be a bystander.

Xiaoxi thought she had escaped trouble, but the principal personally intervened and questioned the homeroom teacher.

What? Our school's star performer isn't performing? That won't do.

This meddlesome old man actually called Xiaoxi's fourth brother, Ye Wentao.

"Wentao, our Xiaoxi is such a lovely and outstanding child. She doesn't plan to attend the school's 10th anniversary celebration this month. Could you talk to her about it?"

Ye Wentao was also fed up. "Our Xiaoxi is so capable, she actually didn't participate in the show."

“Old Principal, our Xiaoxi is incredibly talented at playing musical instruments, so she must be good at dancing too. This child doesn’t know how to show herself off. I’m not going to try to persuade her anymore. I’m her fourth brother, and I can make decisions for her!”

So Ye Wentao listed a whole bunch of shows for Xiaoxi over the phone, it was practically endless.

Because of this, Ye Wentao went back to the manor that night.

"What?! Fourth Brother, are you out of your mind?!"

At the dinner table, Xiaoxi suddenly stood up, so surprised that she forgot to chew her favorite dishes, and there was still a grain of rice stuck to her mouth.
