Chapter 52

At this time, in the small group of Class One, Grade One, Xiao Fusheng, as the face of the class, sat upright in the first row, with children behind her peeking at her.

"I've seen her on TV. She's the flying monkey!"

"Not a monkey. My mother said her name is Tarzan."

"Her name is Fusheng, and she's much prettier than the monkey."

"Why doesn't she look back at us?"

There were so many discussions in the back that Xiao Fusheng couldn't help but secretly turn his head and said, "The teacher said that we can't whisper at this time. Later, the brothers and sisters will come to tie our red scarves for us."

Yanyan, who also started elementary school this year, sat next to little Fusheng and turned to agree, "Yeah, to be a good Young Pioneer you have to be obedient. Look at Fusheng, even though he's so tough, he always sits very well."

The name Fusheng has spread throughout the entire Beicheng Elementary School. Children in all grades regard her as a weather vane. However, except for the children around Class 1, Grade 1, other children have not had the chance to see her up close.

"By the way, Fusheng." Yanyan asked, "Do you know who will be the one to tie the red scarves on us?"

"I don't know." Xiao Fusheng shook his head. "Anyone is good."

But I couldn't help thinking, Brother Xiaoshu is in the fifth grade this year, and he is also in the senior grade. I wonder if he can come. It would be great if Brother Xiaoshu could come.

On the other side, in the senior grade team, the older children from Class 1, Grade 5 were also chattering, each holding a brand new red scarf in their hands.

"My dad said that I must be the one to tie the red scarf for Fusheng, or he'll beat me when I get home."

"My mom said the same thing, but I also want to see the kids on TV. I heard they're really cute."

"But isn't Xi Shu Xiao Fusheng's brother? He should be the one to go."

Everyone looked at the person at the center of the conversation. Although the classmates' attitudes towards Xi Shu had changed a lot since the last incident at the school gate, he was always alone and didn't like to talk. Even if everyone wanted to get close to him, it was useless.

Fortunately, he can say a few more words whenever Xiao Fusheng is mentioned.

So many people mentioned it so many times today, but he didn't say a word, which was unusual. Doesn't he want to tie a red scarf for little sister Fusheng?

"Alright," the teacher said, hushing everyone down at the front of the line. "One class at a time, you'll go over there in order, one row at a time, and you can't wander around. And be polite when you tie the red scarves on the younger kids. And be encouraging to the new kids, okay?"

"knew!"

The young boys suddenly felt a sense of mission and were full of energy.

Just as the teacher was about to lead everyone over, Xi Shu, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly walked over to the second student in the first row and asked, "Can I switch seats with you?"

The classmate was stunned for a moment, but couldn't say anything to refuse. When he came to his senses, he was already standing in Xi Shu's original position. He asked, "Why change seats now?"

I didn't even know who the kid opposite me was.

Xi Shu curled his lips and took the neatly-tied red scarf in both hands: "I want to change it."

"Xi Shu," the classmate asked him, "are you going to tie a red scarf for your sister Fusheng?"

Xi Shu hummed: "Who else but her?"

That’s right, I’ve never seen him have a good relationship with anyone in this school.

Xi Shu had already chosen a seat for the child. Given her personality, she would definitely stay still and do whatever the teacher said on her first day of school, so the seat could be changed in advance.

When everyone reached the first grade line, he saw other people standing in front of the child.

He hasn't had time to go back to the Xi family recently, and he even forgot that there is such a fat and careless man.

Xiao Fusheng also frowned when he saw Xi Zhi standing in front of him.

"Sister Fusheng." Xi Zhi squeezed in with his own "strength". He gave up his position in the class and ran all the way here just to make himself known. This was what his mother taught him.

Wu Jie and Xi Yuankai were delighted by Xi Shu's recent good cooperation, and they put all their thoughts on dealing with Qiao Ge. Naturally, they had no idea that their stupid son would do such a thing.

"Let me tie your red scarf," Xi Zhi said. "If you encounter any difficulties in school, you can tell me and I will help you."

Although the teachers were helpless, Xi Zhijia was powerful and influential, so they simply waited for other students to arrive and then arranged them to other classes.

Xiao Fusheng, who had always been obedient, suddenly shook his head at this moment: "I don't want you to tie it."

Xi Zhi, who had just raised his hand, glared: "Why?"

Xiao Fusheng said bluntly: "Because you are not an excellent Young Pioneer and your moral character is not good."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw you bullying Brother Xiaoshu." Xiao Fusheng said in a burst of laughter. "We're obviously brothers, but you and some bad kids blocked Brother Xiaoshu in the alley and beat him up. You occupied Brother Xiaoshu's room, spent his pocket money, and threw away the gift I prepared for Brother Xiaoshu. You are really mean."

The teachers around: “Wow!”

The wealthy brothers started persecuting each other at a young age.

"I didn't!" Xi Zhi stamped his feet and said anxiously, "It was you who beat me up several times."

"I did hit you." Xiao Fusheng nodded: "But I went to save my brother."

"He doesn't even need your help!" Xi Zhi said angrily, thinking back to the day when Xi Shu, who had returned, beat him up so badly that he couldn't leave the house for several days. "He was obviously faking it! Then he even asked me to come over and beat me up again. He's really good at fighting, and he deliberately got hurt just to show you."

Xiao Fusheng blinked and was stunned for a moment.

In the group of Class 1, Grade 5 that was walking behind, the students who heard these words all looked at the boy in the first row.

The boy's expression remained unchanged, except that his ironed red scarf was slightly wrinkled. He raised his eyes and called out calmly, "Xi Zhi."

Xi Zhi started to tremble when he heard the voice. He had suffered so much at Xi Shu's hands that he couldn't help but blurt it out: "I didn't occupy the room. I just mentioned it, and he trashed it and left. He even overturned the dining table in front of Mom and Dad and threatened me not to get close to you. He almost strangled me to death that day. He's the bad boy!"

Xi Shu's whole body tensed up, like a suppressed little beast about to explode with ferocity, and he involuntarily took a step forward.

The next second, the child asked, "Why didn't you listen?"

Xi Zhi and Xi Shu were both stunned.

Xi Zhi suspected that he had misheard: "What did you say?"

"Brother Xiaoshu told you to stay away from me, why didn't you listen?" Xiao Fusheng asked, "Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"Are you mistaken?" Xi Zhi exploded. "He was the one who hit me!"

"You were the one who did something wrong first." Xiao Fusheng felt very strange. "Xiao Shu brother has been bullied by you for so long even though he did nothing wrong. Doesn't he have the power to punish you when you do something wrong? If it weren't for you, Xiao Shu brother wouldn't be like this."

Little Fusheng was clearly uncooperative and even raised his hand to tell on the student: "Teacher, this student is not from the same class. He must not have listened to the teacher and didn't tie the red scarf on the other students in order. He's not setting a good example for the other students and should be punished."

Compared with Xi Shu's family, Xiao Fusheng's family was standing in the parent area at the back.

The school can't afford to offend any of them. Even if it's a public figure, the public opinion will put the school under great pressure, not to mention those big guys with the surname Sheng, who just signed a contract with the school to donate a building.

Since Xiao Fusheng was unwilling, the teachers immediately stepped in to smooth things over: "Student Xizhi, please return to your class as soon as possible! Don't obstruct the students behind you."

Xi Zhi turned around and met Xi Shu's gaze from behind him. The look was dark and even more unbearable than his father's.

He took two steps sideways, but his arm was pulled by Xi Shu.

The other person tilted his head slightly, and his arm was pulled so hard it hurt. Xi Zhi was about to shout when he heard the other person say, "Xi Zhi, it seems you don't take my words to heart."

"You still want to hit me?" Xi Zhi said angrily, "I'm telling you, there are a lot of people here today! I'll tell the teacher and my dad, and you can forget about going home."

"Home?" Xi Shu smiled. "I hope you still have a home to return to today."

After saying that, she let go of his hand and walked to the front as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the first-grade students saw the older group coming, they stood up like tall little poplars.

Xi Shu found these few steps particularly difficult as he walked in front of her under the child's burning gaze. All the prepared remarks were forgotten at this moment.

He didn't expect those things to be exposed by Xi Zhi, that idiot.

If the child gets angry and doesn't want him anymore, then he... he really doesn't know what to do.

Standing in front of the child, he lowered his eyes and silently smoothed out the wrinkled parts of the red scarf, then folded it up meticulously bit by bit as if he had practiced many times, and gently covered the back of the child's neck.

[Favorability +1+1+1...]

Xi Shu's eyelids twitched slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he met the sparkling gaze.

Xiao Fusheng's voice was cheerful, but very low: "I'm relieved, brother."

Xi Shu didn't move.

I also heard her say: "Fusheng is worried that I will be too busy with work to protect you, but I am very happy that my brother can protect me well."

Xi Shu's eyes were filled with confusion: "Not angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

"Angry that I lied to you."

"But these are serious things that happened." Xiao Fusheng said, "Brother, why did you lie to me? Because you didn't tell me that you hit someone?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Then next time, brother can bring Fusheng along."

Xi Shu thought, if there was a favorability system in children, then that system must be screaming like crazy now, screaming for his favorability to explode again and again.

His wrist moved slowly, tying the knot of his red scarf beautifully, as if he had practiced it many times, and called her: "Fusheng."

"Uh-huh."

Xi Shu patted her head and, in this brief moment, said the farewell that he had been brewing for many days: "In the future, there will be many people who will protect you and cherish you, so you must grow up well and become the person you like and the person who is happy."

Xiao Fusheng didn’t quite understand, but when he saw his brother’s eyes, he felt as if something important was about to happen.

"Fusheng knows." She said obediently, "I will study hard, and so will my brother."

Xi Shu chuckled: "Remember what I told you? You have to call me once a day, before you go to bed."

"Why?" Xiao Fusheng asked, "Didn't my brother say he would go to and from school with me?"

"Well, I'm sorry." Xi Shu whispered, "Brother is going to break his promise."

Xiao Fusheng pursed his lips tightly and grabbed his clothes: "Brother?"

Xi Shu held her in his arms as he had done in the past, comforting her and himself: "Brother will be away for a while, and brother also needs to grow up."

"Can't Fusheng be with brother?"

"No, we all have our own paths to follow."

Little Fusheng asked helplessly, "Where are you going, brother? Fusheng knows how to educate children, so he can educate you, brother."

Xi Shu was silent for a few moments. "I'm going to become someone who can protect you, cherish you, and help you grow up well, but I won't go very far."

He let go of the child and leaned down slightly to look her in the eye: "But believe me, I will be back soon."
