Chapter 108 Princess Syndrome
The corridors were deserted during lunch break.
The boy ran faster than a monkey. The soles of his basketball shoes squeaked twice on the floor tiles, and he disappeared from the stairwell in a blink of an eye.
There was no one behind her, so Su Xia put the big bag of ice cream aside for the time being, imitated the method used by the vendors in the scenic area to cover themselves with blankets to keep warm, and took out her school uniform jacket from the hole in the table to wrap herself around it.
I picked up the phone again, unlocked the screen, and the first item in the notification bar was Xu Jiqing's unread message.
Looking at the time, it was almost when Teacher Ding had just finished class:
Great progress, great.
She was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. "You saw my grades, where did you see them?"
Xu Jiqing's words are concise and to the point, [Home-School Group. ]
Su Xia followed up by asking, "Are you in the group too?"
As soon as she sent it out, she quickly clicked to withdraw it.
Xu Jiqing hadn't told her the details before, but his father had just run away with the money, and Lin Yuezhen was so weak and delicate, she didn't look like a responsible mother at all. There was no one in the world who could be Xu Jiqing's parent...
He is the only one left.
Su Xia sent a kitten head emoticon, trying to change the subject, but Xu Jiqing answered.
【It’s more convenient for me. 】
She replied with an "Oh", trying not to sound too spoiled, "Why did you buy so much?"
[When Zhang Yue gave it to me just now, I was shocked.]
Xu Jiqing replied, [Not much.]
【116 is harder than double 100.】
How did he know that she was going to mention Xu Jiaojiao?
Su Xia held her face and curled her lips, [What should I do with so much makeup? What a waste.]
Xu Jiqing: [You pick one, and share the rest with your classmates.]
Wow, he is so reliable.
It feels so safe.
The speech bubbles are filled with square blocks of lead type.
But as soon as he saw it, he made a sound automatically, as if Xu Jiqing had touched him on the head out of thin air.
Su Xia's throat felt inexplicably sore, and her heart felt soft and slumped.
She knew why Xu Jiaojiao scored 100 points in both exams.
Who wouldn’t want to work harder next time after being coaxed by him like this?
I have to fight for my brother.

F large lecture hall, algebra class.
Having the same group of teachers for classes will not turn old enemies into friends.
There are still nearly three weeks to go before the provincial league, and the tension between the two high schools is already very strong. The navy blue uniforms of the Affiliated High School are against the wall, and the white uniforms of the First High School are against the window. There are several rows of empty seats in the training classroom, and they don't interfere with each other.
When they were out and about, the sense of collective honor and the spirit of the middle school overflowed exponentially, and the top students from both schools were automatically gathered in the front row, intending to show off their respective trump cards before the battle and to lower the other side's morale.
The boy from the affiliated high school was a typical hyperactive genius. He would never raise his hand to answer the teacher's questions. Even when the teacher turned around to write on the blackboard, he would still pick out a few redundant words that could be abbreviated and whisper to the people around him.
In the last simulation match, Xu Jiqing defeated him, and the opponent has been brooding over it ever since. He has provoked Xu Jiqing several times, both openly and covertly, but Xu Jiqing didn't even raise his head.
The prize money for the provincial competition is not on the same level as the previous small competitions.
Before the winter break finals, he just wanted to win this one.
Everything else is a waste of energy and not worth the effort.
He was a man of few words to begin with, and once he turned on the power-saving mode, he became as cold as the frozen north.
In the past half week, the time when Lin Lang saw Xu Jiqing's handsome face look the most human was when he sent those WeChat messages today.
During the first break in the morning, Lin Lang stole a glance over at the table:
Zhang Yue.
Xu Jiqing himself doesn't type much, he just transferred some money right away, and the other party was the only one doing all the talking.
It started with: [What happened on the playground of No. 1 Middle School? ]
[Do we have to go now?]
Later it became: [I’m here, brother.]
The boss lady said that only the seniors are back in school now, so they haven't restocked much yet. I bought it just as you said.
Finally, there was a panoramic photo of ice cream composed by a primary school student in science class. Even though Lin Lang didn't like snacks much, he could tell something was wrong with just a quick glance.
There are Magnum, Cornetto, Baskin-Robbins, Meiji, and even a small shop selling Godiva that I don’t know which high-end mall it came from.
It’s so expensive.
Who else could the offering be made to except the jeweled Princess Belle?
I really just swept through the front row according to the price list and took whatever was available.
Before the afternoon number theory class, a photo of girls carrying plastic bags popped up on the screen. Lin Lang, who had been holding it in all morning, couldn't help but ask, "...Did the princess ask you for it?"
Her family is so rich that a bracelet is worth a cheap car, but they just lack these two things. Why does she have to squeeze them from Xu Jiqing?
"no."
Xu Jiqing turned off the screen, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, his expression cold, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Lang raised his hands in surrender. "It's my fault for being quick-witted, but look at this scene yourself. Anyone who comes here will misunderstand. It's not my fault."
It was misunderstood that Princess Su Xia had fallen ill, and was using her beauty to commit crimes and plunder the people's wealth.
But Xu Jiqing himself knew that the responsibility lay entirely with him.
Even he longed for Su Xia to ask for something from him, even though he had nothing.
She only asked him for two things:
The first time was a math homework.
The second time was an ice cream cone.
Give Xu Jiaojiao a basket, and the little girl happily fills it with ten pieces of crushed ice and snow. One or two of them are so cute that she can have a happy summer vacation.
Xu Jiqing had never eaten any good food, nor did he understand what Su Xia liked. From childhood to adulthood, simple values were ingrained in him: expensive things are good.
And she deserves the best.
Why should a girl who's mother wasn't willing to teach her how to endure hardship learn to be sensible because of her?
If the bright moon was born high in the sky, he would wish to protect her and keep her innocent and carefree for the rest of her life.
He would hate without hesitation whoever tried to make the moon fall, even if that person was himself.
The lament of "It's hard to pursue a rich lady" resurfaced, and Lin Lang hesitated to speak. "We've only been dating for a few days, don't get too involved."
Xu Jiqing: “No.”
"...You're already selling yourself out before we even talk," Lin Lang said, going crazy. "Brother, please wake up! What if they just want to have fun with you?"
On the podium, the projection screen was lowered and white light came on.
Xu Jiqing snapped the cap of the gel pen to the bottom and lowered his eyes calmly. "Anything is fine."
Whatever she wants.
As long as she is safe and not found by Xu Wenyao.
He can do anything.

This time, Su Xiaojuan flew directly from Gangcheng to the northwest and stayed there for quite a while. She only came back after finalizing the cotton production base. She had become much darker and thinner.
The career is very supportive, and my face is radiant and even my complexion is much better than before.
The report card was sent to the parent-teacher group, and Teacher Ding gave her some encouragement over the phone. Su Xiaojuan, who was always good at getting along with everyone in the business world, couldn't utter a complete sentence except "Thank you teacher for your cultivation". She was overwhelmed by the surprise.
It is said that adolescent children should not be stressed too much.
Not only does it easily cause estrangement between mother and daughter, it also adds anxiety to the child and limits his or her development space.
She had been completely free for the past month, just video chatting with the girl and reminding her to eat well.
The results Su Xia got in the exams were much better than when she was accompanying her child in the first year of high school!
You never know...
Did this local boss who dropped out of high school really give birth to a little genius?
