Chapter 113 I want to take Lin Xi abroad to register our marriage
As soon as class started, Song Chen began to make demands: "From now on, in my class, if you don't know the answer to a question, I'm sorry, but you'll have to come to the front and do ten burpees."
"Huh?" The audience erupted in an uproar.
For those who didn't know what a burpee was, Song Chen thoughtfully showed a video of the standard movement on the big screen.
“It’s very simple. I believe you’ll understand it at a glance with your intelligence,” Song Chen said with a smile. “If you can’t answer one question, you’ll have to do ten burpees; if you can’t answer two questions, you’ll have to do twenty, and so on.”
"Let's wait and see who the luckiest person is today!"
Bai Tiantian silently wiped her sweat, inwardly cursing Song Chen. She hoped he wouldn't mess with her, or he'd be in for a world of hurt.
Lin Xi nervously grasped Bai Tiantian's hand, "Tiantian, it seems like Teacher Song is serious."
Bai Tiantian grasped Lin Xi's hand in return, "Xi Xi, if he asks me a question later, and I don't know the answer, you must whisper a hint to me."
Lin Xi nodded, "I promise I won't hold back anything I know."
Bai Tiantian was extremely nervous every time Song Chen asked a question. The first three questions were very simple, all of which were covered in the previous class, and Bai Tiantian wasn't even called on.
Bai Tiantian gradually relaxed, and when Song Chen's gaze shifted over, she even sent him a kiss from afar.
Song Chen smiled slightly and casually recounted a case. After finishing, he turned his gaze to Bai Tiantian, "The girl in the first row wearing a tracksuit."
In the first row, only Bai Tiantian was wearing a tracksuit. She stood up and waited for Song Chen to ask a question.
"Tell me about the suspect in this case. Which article of the criminal law did he violate, and how should he be sentenced?" Song Chen looked at Bai Tiantian gently.
Bai Tiantian was dumbfounded. This question was a bit too much. She hadn't even studied criminal law yet, let alone which article. She didn't even know how many articles there were in the criminal law.
She looked down at Lin Xi, placing all her hopes on him.
Lin Xi shook her head slightly. She didn't know either. She had even learned that much ahead of time. Song Chen was clearly targeting Bai Tiantian. She shouldn't get involved in their affairs.
Bai Tiantian gave up, "I can't."
“It’s okay,” Song Chen said, extending his hand. “Come on, the first lucky one.”
Bai Tiantian walked forward, tied her loose hair up with a hair tie, and then gave Song Chen a dangerous look, as if to say, "Just you wait."
Without saying a word, she did ten burpees perfectly. After finishing the last one, she almost collapsed to the ground.
"I'm so tired," Bai Tiantian said, her breathing rapid, her face flushed, and her legs weak.
Lin Xi helped Bai Tiantian back to her seat. "Tiantian, are you alright?"
Bai Tiantian couldn't even speak. She waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.
Song Chen took out a bottle of drink from somewhere and placed it on Bai Tiantian's table. "Give me some energy, and let me rest for a while."
Bai Tiantian's face turned green after hearing Song Chen's words. What did he mean by "rest for a while"? Did that mean he would make her continue working?
Her mouth was dry, so she unscrewed the bottle cap, took a big gulp of her drink, and thought, "Come on, let the storm rage on!"
In this long class, Bai Tiantian was asked questions five times and was punished with three sets of burpees.
After class, Song Chen came over to comfort Bai Tiantian, saying, "Your physical condition is too poor; you need to exercise more."
Bai Tiantian really wanted to scold him, but thinking of the many classmates around, she held back. She had to give Teacher Song some face.
"Thank you for your care, Teacher Song," Bai Tiantian smiled. "I will remember your kindness to me."
Song Chen nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, all my efforts weren't in vain."
Lin Xi had been keeping to herself, trying to minimize her presence, when Song Chen tapped her desk as he was leaving and said, "Wear pants to my classes from now on."
"Huh?" When Lin Xi looked up, Song Chen had already left, leaving only his back view.
"What does this have to do with me?" Lin Xi could only complain to Bai Tiantian.
Bai Tiantian lay on the table, "We're best friends, we'll share both good times and bad."
At this moment, Lin Xi was determined to break off her friendship with Bai Tiantian. She sighed, "My physical strength isn't even as good as yours."
Should she talk to Song Xu about this? But she doesn't know how to face him yet.
She glanced at her phone. He hadn't sent her a single message since morning. Humph! He's a scumbag, a scumbag who only wants to sleep with her.
At this moment, Song Xu, who was being called a scumbag, was having a private conversation with his parents in the study of the Song family's old house.
"Dad, Mom, I want to take Lin Xi abroad to register our marriage," Song Xu said seriously.
Song Qingshi exploded instantly, "Song Xu, are you bewitched? What kind of spell did Lin Xi cast on you that makes you insist on marrying her?!"
Xu Wantang also looked disapproving, "Xiao Xu, you and Lin Xi have only known each other for a short time, and you are both still young. There will be many changes in the future, so why are you in such a hurry?"
“Dad, Mom, I have to marry Lin Xi,” Song Xu said firmly, “because I owe her.”
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Wantang asked, puzzled. "How could you possibly owe her something?"
Song Xu placed the file bag in his hand on the table. "To be precise, it's something I owe my brother."
Song Qingshi opened the document bag and took out an old photograph and an appraisal report.
He picked up the photo and immediately recognized Song Chen in it. "This...is this Chenchen's family from before?"
Xu Wantang snatched the photo and saw that besides Song Chen, there was an old man and a little girl in it. The little girl's beauty mark on the corner of her left eye and her delicate features made her guess what was going on.
“This little girl,” she pointed to the girl in the photo, “could it be Lin Xi?”
Song Xu nodded. "That's right."
"And what about this old man?" Xu Wantang continued to ask.
“She is my brother’s biological grandmother,” Song Xu picked up the kinship test report and handed it to Xu Wantang. “This is the kinship test report between my brother and Grandma Lin.”
Xu Wantang was a little excited, her hands trembling as she held the appraisal report. After reading the results, she handed it to Song Qingshi, who was anxiously waiting on the side.
“Xiao Xu,” Xu Wantang said, sitting in a chair, “where did you get this photo?”
Song Xu remained silent for a long time; this secret had been buried deep in his heart for twelve years.
“This photo was given to me by my brother twelve years ago…” Song Xu paused for a moment.
Song Xu's thoughts drifted back twelve years, when he was seven years old.
Seven-year-old Song Xu was an extremely mischievous troublemaker. Song Qingshi had to replace his belt every month because it was always broken by Song Xu's beatings.
At that time, Song Qingshi had just taken over Huayue Group with full authority. The old man Song had stepped down from the front line while still holding the title of chairman. The group was unstable, and several major shareholders wanted to seize power.
Unable to deal with Song Qingshi, they turned their attention to Song Xu, hiring someone to kidnap him to blackmail Song Qingshi.
Seven-year-old Song Xu loves playing escape games. He often shakes off his bodyguards, hides, and runs off to play by himself.
This hobby was discovered by some people who had been keeping an eye on it for a long time, and finally they found an opportunity to pursue it.
