Chapter 60 (Second Update)

Chapter sixty:

Duan Yi remained silent.

Even more silent than him was Mu Shaoyan.

Well, he didn't even know he already had a girlfriend!

Still his little darling!

Mu Shaoyan found it utterly outrageous!

Mu Shaoyan: [You just said it's spread throughout the whole school?]

Duan Yi: ...

Duan Yi: [Don't you read the forum?]

Mu Shaoyan was even more surprised: "[You still read the forum?]"

He thought that top students like them were oblivious to everything else and only focused on studying.

Duan Yi: ...

That wasn't when I first started looking for part-time jobs; I would sometimes browse forums.

I don't look for it anymore, but I've gotten used to it, and I still glance at it occasionally.

Duan Yi decided to change the subject: "So you're bringing your baby, this little baby, to my house? To study?"

Mu Shaoyan: [Hmm.]

Duan Yi: ...

Duan Yi tried to recall Mu Shaoyan's character and confirmed that he was the young master of the Mu family, not a single parent and school bully.

Duan Yi: [Why?]

Mu Shaoyan scratched his head: "My nephew was worried I'd be bored by myself, so he wanted to keep me company."

Duan Yi: ...

Duan Yi: [You're all alone, dare you ask who I am?]

Mu Shaoyan replied matter-of-factly, "You're not his uncle, so naturally he doesn't include you."

Duan Yi: ...

Mu Shaoyan: [Don't worry, my nephew is super well-behaved; he'll do his own homework by himself.]

Duan Yi didn't believe it. How could a child be so well-behaved?

When he was working part-time as a doll maker, the children would run around him and shout at him. That's when he realized that the children only looked like angels, but were actually devils.

Duan Yi: [If you insist on bringing him, and he becomes too noisy, I will cancel the class immediately.]

Mu Shaoyan felt that he had really underestimated his daughter, Xiao Xi.

Mu Shaoyan: [Don't worry, I've never seen my little nephew being noisy.]

That would be best, Duan Yi thought to himself.

The next afternoon, Ye Qingxi went home early in Mu Zheng's car.

He was thinking about his plans for the evening, and as soon as he entered the house, he immediately ran to the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang was washing vegetables in the kitchen when she saw him return. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xi is back! How about we have squirrel fish today?"

Ye Qingxi nodded, "Okay~"

After answering, he sweetly asked, "Auntie, could you make a few more of my uncle's favorite dishes and pack them up for me?"

Aunt Zhang was puzzled. When she heard the first half of the sentence, she thought that Mu Shaoyan was also going home for dinner tonight, but the second half of the sentence clearly did not mean that.

"Are you going to deliver food to your uncle?" she guessed.

"Um."

Aunt Zhang laughed, "That's too much trouble. I'll go. You just stay home and rest. Otherwise, you'll get too tired."

"I'm not tired." Ye Qingxi shook her head. "Auntie, wait until I'm almost finished eating before you start cooking. That way, the food will be just right and won't get cold."

"Okay," Aunt Zhang replied.

He's so young yet so clever; he's really adorable.

"Go out and play first, dinner will be ready in a little while."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhang fed him a freshly peeled cherry tomato, saying, "I'll make you tomato plums tonight."

"Then I'll come back to eat," Ye Qingxi said hurriedly.

"Um."

Ye Qingxi happily thanked her and left the kitchen.

He returned to the living room, put down his schoolbag, and picked up the cotton candy that had been following him and circling around him.

"So cute~" Ye Qingxi kissed Cotton Candy's fluffy head and played with it.

While they were playing, Mu Feng came out.

Ye Qingxi quickly stood up and said to him, "Grandpa, I need to go out for a bit."

Mu Feng asked in confusion, "Where are you going so late at night?"

Ye Qingxi: "My uncle found himself a tutor, and I'm going to accompany him to class."

Mu Feng: ?

Did Mu Shaoyan hire a tutor for himself?

Did Ye Qingxi accompany him to class?

Either way, it sounds magical.

"How old is he? Does he need you to accompany him to class? Why doesn't he go to kindergarten?"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi could only say, "I wanted to stay with my uncle, but he initially wouldn't let me. I begged him for a long time."

"You, beg him?" Mu Feng sneered. "He has such an arrogant official air about him."

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi felt that he was being very unreasonable. So, whether he was passive or active, Mu Shaoyan was always in the wrong?

"Grandpa~" Ye Qingxi said sweetly, "I'll be back soon~ My uncle will bring me back then~"

"Otherwise, would he have planned to let you come back alone?" Mu Feng snorted again.

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi could only continue, "Then Grandpa, please tell Uncle Li to take me home later."

Mu Feng: ...

Mu Feng still didn't want him to go; it was too much of a hassle.

"You should stay home."

Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I've never had a private tutoring session before, but I'd like to go and take a look."

"I'll hire a tutor for you."

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

He doesn't need it!

He doesn't need it at all!

"I want to go to my uncle's tutor's house."

"It's too late. Don't even mention coming back. If you go out for a while, it will be almost dark."

“I’m taking a car,” Ye Qingxi said confidently, “with Uncle Li by my side.”

He walked to Mu Feng's side, grabbed his hand, and gently shook it. "Grandpa, Grandpa, please, just let me go! I want to go! I want to go!"

Seeing that his lips were pouting, Mu Feng could only grant his wish and say, "Okay."

"Thank you, Grandpa~" Ye Qingxi immediately smiled happily.

Seeing his happy expression, Mu Feng felt somewhat helpless.

He thought to himself, "Never mind, Ye Qingxi is young and has a childlike nature. It's normal for him to be curious about everything. Maybe he'll lose interest in this in a few days."

But Mu Shaoyan, he actually knew to hire a tutor for himself?

Didn't he kick out all the tutors that Mu Zheng had hired for him before?

What's going on?

Something was definitely amiss. Mu Feng looked at Ye Qingxi and asked, "Why did your uncle suddenly hire a tutor for himself?"

"Because my uncle has been studying hard lately."

Mu Feng: ...

Mu Feng did not believe it.

Will he still study hard?

Ye Qingxi nodded, "Uncle has been working very hard lately."

Mu Feng sneered, becoming even more skeptical.

Looking at his expression, Ye Qingxi felt that he really had a lot of prejudice against his uncle.

"Grandpa, my uncle has been working really hard lately. We video chat every day and do our homework together." Ye Qingxi tried to speak up for Mu Shaoyan.

"You, and him, did your homework together?" Mu Feng's feelings were complicated, and his expression was subtle.

A high school senior doing homework with a first-grader... well, if Mu Shaoyan were eight instead of eighteen, he'd probably think it was a good thing.

However, Mu Feng had already given up on Mu Shaoyan during his final year of high school, so he was too lazy to bother with these matters.

Anyway, after the exams next year, Mu Shaoyan will naturally be exiled, experience the hardships of life, realize how ungrateful he is, and then slowly grow up—just like he was back then.

that is……

"Study hard," Mu Feng instructed Ye Qingxi, "Don't let your uncle influence you."

He thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy and said, "You shouldn't do your homework with him anymore."

Otherwise, if Mu Shaoyan's guidance caused Ye Qingxi's grades to suffer as well, then he would truly be guilty.

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi thought his grandfather was really prejudiced against his uncle!

Although his uncle was a rebellious, immature, and flamboyant teenager, although his uncle often skipped school to get into fights, although his uncle had consistently ranked near the bottom of his class since his second year of high school, although...

Okay, even though Ye Qingxi didn't say anything, his uncle's past did indeed hurt the feelings of his parents.

No wonder his grandfather was prejudiced against his uncle.

Especially the Mu family's children, apart from his uncle, are all quite outstanding.

"Just wait," Ye Qingxi thought to himself. "By next year's college entrance exam, my uncle will have made a name for himself and amazed my grandfather. He'll show him what it means to be impressed after just three days."

His uncle is no longer the same uncle he used to be!

After finishing her meal, Ye Qingxi slung her backpack over her shoulder and prepared to go get the dinner that Aunt Zhang had prepared separately for Mu Shaoyan.

When Mu Feng saw that he was actually planning to deliver food to Mu Shaoyan, he felt an urge to call Mu Shaoyan right now and give him a good scolding.

"You don't need to worry about him," Mu Feng said. "He's a grown man, how could he starve to death?!"

Honestly, how could he possibly let Ye Qingxi bring him food?!

How old is he? How old is Ye Qingxi?

Is he Ye Qingxi's elder, or is Ye Qingxi his elder?

Mu Feng grew angrier the more he thought about it, "You'd better not go."

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

Why won't they let him go again?

Ye Qingxi could only say kindly, "Grandpa, I just brought it with me, it's very convenient~"

Mu Feng asked indifferently, "Does he deserve it?"

Ye Qingxi: ...This is your own son, your own son with your blood, not a free gift when you top up your phone credit.

"I'll be back soon~" Ye Qingxi said, and then went to get her lunchbox.

Mu Feng raised his hand to stop him, "You can go, but you don't need to bring him food."

"He really thinks he's some kind of young master."

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi looked up at him with her little face upturned, looking aggrieved.

Mu Feng: ...

Ye Qingxi pouted and continued looking at him.

Mu Feng: ...

Ye Qingxi frowned, her eyes filled with even more grievance.

Mu Feng: ...

Just as Ye Qingxi was about to use nuclear weapons, Mu Feng raised his hand and turned his head.

There was no other way; the child was almost crying from grievance, and he couldn't really let Ye Qingxi cry.

It's all Mu Shaoyan's fault!

Mu Feng thought, "He really dares to do that!"

He'd better not come back!

Ye Qingxi happily picked up the lunchbox, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

After saying that, he grabbed his lunchbox and ran out—afraid that if he was a step too slow, Mu Feng would stop him from going again.

Mu Feng watched his retreating figure and sighed helplessly.

This child is good in every way, except that he is a little too good.

It's heartbreaking.

Ye Qingxi got into the car, put down her schoolbag, and said to Li Wei, "Uncle Li, let's go."

"Okay." Li Wei started the car and drove off.

There are many people leaving get off work at this time, so the roads are a little congested.

Fortunately, they timed it well, arriving at Mu Shaoyan's school just as he was leaving.

Ye Qingxi texted him from her car: "Uncle, I'm at your school gate."

Mu Shaoyan was packing his schoolbag when he saw this message and his eyes lit up instantly.

He deliberately called Ye Qingxi, "Baby, you've arrived?"

Her gentle tone almost scared the students around her to death.

Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mm."

"Then wait for me at the school gate, I'll be out soon."

"good."

"Kiss~" Mu Shaoyan kissed the phone twice.

The students in the class: !!!

Good heavens! Good heavens! This school bully is truly in love!

They even give each other a "kiss" when hanging up the phone—that must be love at first sight, definitely love at first sight!

Duan Yi, who happened to be passing by: ...Well, my feelings are quite complicated.
