Chapter 331, Part 32

331:

After finishing her business with Murong Qing, Ye Qingxi will soon be starting school.

A new semester brings new beginnings, but for Ye Qingxi, this new beginnings felt more like a cycle, instantly reliving the events of his world championship opening ceremony.

The popularity of "Summer" clearly spread to the school, so much so that as soon as he entered the school gate, people ran up to him and asked, "Are you Ye Qingxi?" "How come you acted so well?" "Can I take a picture with you?"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi desperately called out to her little agent Chen Xiang in her heart, but Chen Xiang did not appear. In the end, it was Qin Cheng who appeared and rescued her.

He always had a cold expression. He stood next to Ye Qingxi like a bodyguard and pulled her out of the crowd.

Ye Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Cheng looked at him and said, "I'll take you to your class from now on."

"No need, no need," Ye Qingxi quickly said. "It'll only be like this for the next few days. After a while, they won't be like this anymore."

"real?"

"Really." Ye Qingxi felt that she was already quite experienced.

"Then I'll take you to your class these next few days."

Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, he was too embarrassed to make Chen Xiang wait for him at the school gate. Although Chen Xiang was his little agent, in Ye Qingxi's mind, this was basically just child's play and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Once inside the classroom, Ye Qingxi was immediately surrounded by a new group of people.

This time, Chen Xiang appeared just in time and successfully rescued him.

"Did you come from the school gate to the classroom this way?" Chen Xiang asked him.

Ye Qingxi looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"From now on, I'll wait for you at the school gate and come in with you."

"No need," Ye Qingxi said. "My brother said he'll give it to me in the future."

Chen Xiang naturally knew Qin Cheng, so he nodded with relief, "That's fine too, he seems pretty intimidating."

Ye Qingxi: ...No, not really. She's easy to mess with.

"But Xiaoxi, your performance in this movie was absolutely fantastic! It was amazing! Our whole family loved it!"

“You already told me that before,” Ye Qingxi said with a smile.

"Then I'll say it again," Chen Xiang said happily.

Seeing his bright and sunny smile, Ye Qingxi heard him repeat the praise he had sent on his phone earlier.

Unsurprisingly, Ye Qingxi became a sensation at school once again.

The principal once again enthusiastically invited him to give a speech under the national flag.

After his speech, the homeroom teacher asked him to talk to the class about his experiences and feelings while making the movie, and then announced that she would treat everyone to a movie this Saturday.

Everyone cheered happily, excitedly planning whether to have dinner together after the movie and where to eat.

head teacher:! ! !

"I don't have any money to treat you to another meal," the homeroom teacher said frankly.

After all, movie tickets during the Spring Festival are not cheap, especially with the recent popularity of "Summer," where ticket prices remain high.

The fact that she was able to treat everyone to a movie was already a huge financial sacrifice!

"It's alright," the class monitor said. "We can use the class funds."

“Exactly,” other students echoed. “If the existing class funds aren’t enough, we can contribute more.”

Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and then raised her hand.

"Ye Qingxi, you speak," the homeroom teacher said.

Ye Qingxi stood up and said, "We don't have to use the class fund. I'll treat everyone to steamed buns at my uncle's shop."

"Steamed buns?" The students all looked at him.

Ye Qingxi nodded, "My uncle's shop has a lot of different flavors of steamed buns, including meat, pumpkin, eggplant, chives and egg, red bean paste, and so on. They're so delicious. They also have porridge, rice noodles, fried dumplings, and fermented rice wine. Everyone can eat and drink."

"Okay~" The students looked at each other and thought it seemed pretty good.

The homeroom teacher asked worriedly, "Won't this be too much trouble for your uncle?"

"No," Ye Qingxi said.

Their steamed bun shop is doing very well now; they've already opened two branches.

Moreover, since his classmates went to see his movie because of him, it was only a matter of reciprocity for him to treat them to steamed buns at his shop.

Besides, his classmates are all well-off. If they go there and find the food delicious, they will naturally go back to their steamed bun shop.

No matter how Ye Qingxi thought about it, she felt that this matter was good for everyone.

He called Mu Shaoyan after class and told him about it.

Mu Shaoyan readily agreed, "Sure, let's go to our flagship store then. I'll decorate it for you, and you can take some photos and have a lively time."

"Okay." Ye Qingxi nodded. "Then I'll talk to Brother Duan Yi again."

"Wait a minute, he's right next to me, I'll talk to him."

After Mu Shaoyan finished speaking, he turned to Duan Yi and told him about Ye Qingxi's plans.

Duan Yi nodded, "Then have Xiao Xi take a count of everyone's preferences in advance, so that if they all want to eat meat, there won't be enough buns."

"Okay." Mu Shaoyan immediately relayed the message to Ye Qingxi.

"Okay, I understand," Ye Qingxi said. "Uncle, please thank Brother Duan Yi for me."

"Don't mention it." He heard Duan Yi's voice. "Have fun, and I'll have them pack more for you. If your classmates and teachers like, they can take some with them too."

—As the shop has grown, the technicians who make steamed buns are no longer just Duan's mother.

There are also some middle-aged women whom Duan's mother knows who are forced to leave their jobs and have difficulty finding new employment.

Seeing that they were having difficulty finding employment, Duan's mother asked them if they would like to work for her.

These people were naturally willing and thanked her profusely.

Duan's mother was also very happy.

Her son is now in the best university, her shop is thriving, and she has helped her old friends. She couldn't be happier living her life. So much so that when Ye Qingxi last visited her, she seemed even younger than when they first met.

Duan's mother smiled as she looked at him, and even specially made a steamer of small leaf-shaped buns for him.

When Duan's mother heard that they were coming for a get-together, she thought, "Then I'll make some animal-shaped buns for them. They'll look cute, and the kids should like them."

"Okay," Duan Yi replied.

Duan's mother sighed with emotion, "Xiao Xi is really amazing. He sang at the opening ceremony, acted in a movie, and even this shop was his idea. You know, if it weren't for him and Shao Yan, our family would probably still be worrying about money right now."

Duan's mother knew very well that if Mu Shaoyan hadn't taken out the money to open a steamed bun shop with them, the shop would never have been opened by just her and Duan Yi.

Because they can't afford to pay the compensation.

It was Mu Shaoyan who gave them the opportunity to try and fail, which is why they are where they are today.

When she thanked Mu Shaoyan before, Mu Shaoyan said that the idea of ​​opening a store was proposed by Ye Qingxi, which is why he insisted on making Ye Qingxi a shareholder at the time.

When Duan's mother found out, she was quite surprised.

He's such a young child, yet he has such thoughts.

But then she thought it was normal. Because he was just a child, he didn't know how difficult it was to open a shop or how important money was, so he could easily say such things. It just so happened that he was born into the Mu family, so Mu Shaoyan could make his casual remark come true and was willing to let him make it come true, which is why she and Duan Yi benefited from it.

"You're in the same major as Shao Yan now. If there's anything Shao Yan doesn't understand, help him out. Even though you're in college and all you have to do is avoid failing, it's never a bad thing to learn more."

Duan Yi nodded, thinking to himself, "Do I still need his help?"

Mu Shaoyan has already completed his apprenticeship and is now serving as Lu Zhao's teacher!

We don't need him anymore!

He felt annoyed by this, so after ending the call, he went to the library and didn't stay in the dormitory where Mu Shaoyan wasn't.

When Mu Shaowu picked Ye Qingxi up after school in the afternoon, he noticed that Ye Qingxi had a smile on his face and looked very happy.

"What? Did the teacher praise you?"

Ye Qingxi shook her head.

"Then why are you so happy?"

“Our homeroom teacher is taking our class to see ‘Summer’ this Saturday, and then we’ll go out for dinner together after the movie,” Ye Qingxi said.

So you're happy?

Ye Qingxi nodded somewhat shyly.

He had never participated in such a class activity before, especially since this activity was for him.

Ye Qingxi felt as if she were floating on a cloud, and she was overjoyed.

"Our homeroom teacher is really great," he said. "And my classmates are great too."

"Hello to you too~" Mu Shaowu said.

"Dad, that's great too~" Ye Qingxi smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Mu Shaowu smiled, thinking that he was indeed a child, still able to be happy about such things.

"Have fun then! Have you decided where to eat? Do you want Dad to help you decide?"

"No need, we'll go to the steamed bun shop that my uncle, Duan Yi and I own."

"I see."

"Yes, my uncle said he'd help me decorate so we can take pictures."

"Him? What if he's so decorated that you won't even dare to take pictures?"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be that bad.

Even if he dresses up in a cringey, chuunibyou style, the boys in his class will probably just think it's cool.

There will definitely be a group of people who support him.

So Ye Qingxi went with Mu Shaoyan without worry.

On Saturday afternoon, Ye Qingxi, Zhong Yan, and Kuang Jie asked for leave and took a car to school.

To prevent any accidents during this trip, the homeroom teacher specially rented a bus to transport the students together.

We went to the movie theater first, and watched the movie together while eating popcorn and drinking cola in the theater.

After watching the movie, we took a bus to Ye Qingxi's steamed bun shop.

“Dawn Buns, Xiao Xi, it’s your Xi Ya~” the class monitor said.

Ye Qingxi smiled, somewhat shyly.

The name of this steamed bun shop was indeed given by Mu Shaoyan based on his name.

"Oh, you've arrived." As he spoke, Mu Shaoyan pushed open the door and came out. "Come in quickly!"

Chen Xiang had met him before, but this time he almost didn't recognize him. Wasn't Ye Qingxi's uncle supposed to have red hair? How come he has black hair now?

It's not as cool as it used to be.

The other classmates who had never met Mu Shaoyan before couldn't help but exclaim, "Ye Qingxi, is this your uncle?"

"Your uncle is so handsome."

"Exactly, he's even more handsome than movie stars!"

"No, Ye Qingxi's father is a movie star, and his father is more handsome than his uncle."

"His uncle is clearly more handsome."

"Dad is handsome!"

"Uncle is handsome!"

The two immediately started arguing, then turned to Ye Qingxi, "Ye Qingxi, do you think your dad is more handsome or your uncle is more handsome?"

Ye Qingxi: ...
