Chapter 25



Home of tidbits.

Xu Qing led Zhou Xiu to Huaxu's house, and they were able to find the entrance accurately without being led by anyone. Familiar with the route.

This is Zhou Xiu's first time to come to Huaxu's home, which is a very beautiful single-family garden villa.

Xu Qing knocked on the door, and Du Feiyang happily stuck his head out and waved to them.

When Zhou Xiu walked in, he found that several people were playing games online. When Yu Qingyan saw Zhou Xiu, she quickly put down the game controller in her hand.

"Hey, Xiuxiu is here. We were just studying and came here because we were tired. Really, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Xu."

Yu Qingyan explained hurriedly.

I was not noticed when I was studying hard and making progress every day. I was having so much fun playing the game when I got caught. Yu Qingyan felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

Zhou Xiu put down her schoolbag and said, "It's okay, go play."

Yu Qingyan showed an expression of injustice on her face.

After the game was over, Huaxu put the game controller into Zhou Xiu's hand and said, "Xiu Xiu, stop doing your homework. Come on, let's play together. Relax today."

The behind-the-scenes story thinks Zhou Xiu failed the exam, so he deliberately makes her happy.

She rubbed Zhou Xiu's head.

Three people used to play the jungle exploration game in teams of two, but now there are five of them, so they just play King of Glory.

Du Feiyang said: "Xiu Xiu probably doesn't know how to play. Come on, I'll teach you."

He contributed his own trumpet and taught Zhou Xiu how to play it step by step. Xu Qing was also there explaining the rules to Zhou Xiu from time to time.

Zhou Xiu had never played games before, so his fingers were slow to react. When he slid across the screen, the hero would rush directly under the enemy's tower.

Du Feiyang laughed, "Hahahahahahaha, it turns out there are games that Xiuxiu can't play. I'm sorry, I'm too far away from you and I can't protect you."

A faint smile also appeared at the corner of Xu Qing's mouth.

Only Huaxu controlled Diao Chan, who ran to the top lane as light as a swallow to rescue Zhou Xiu, and used her ultimate skill to fight three people at once and killed the opponents directly.

However, three Star Glory players were no match for a Bronze player, and their own crystal was ruthlessly destroyed.

Zhou Xiu looked at the people around her who were looking at her cautiously. Even Xu Qing's eyes were filled with relief and he couldn't help but smile.

"Well, thank you. I had a lot of fun."

Yu Qingyan said excitedly: "Xiu Xiu, learn it when you have time, and we will continue to take you to play in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Feiyang glared at her, "Don't, games are addictive. Xiuxiu should study hard."

He turned to Yu Qingyan and said, "Have you forgotten what you said about finding a math tutor? Have you finished your homework tonight?"

Yu Qingyan pouted, "Have you finished writing?"

Du Feiyang said proudly: "I have finished my English homework. Just now when you were playing games, Sister Xu and I secretly did some homework."

He touched his stomach, "Hey. I'm tired from playing, so hungry——"

"Sister Xu, please order takeout. Let's continue doing our homework."

Huaxu quickly took out a bunch of small cards from the drawer and prepared to call to order food.

Tidbits thought intermittently, as he thought, "Hmm... Tonkotsu ramen, tuna sushi, matsutake caviar, and what else?"

"Eating Japanese food again?" Du Feiyang looked constipated.

"Sister Xu, my stomach hasn't been feeling well these days." Yu Qingyan said.

Zhou Xiu leaned over to take a look. It would have been better if he hadn’t looked at it. After he looked at it, he silently held the business card.

This was a dinner that cost four figures in total, which was shockingly expensive.

Zhou Xiu cherishes money very much, even if it is not his own money. She glanced at the clock on the wall, thought for a moment, then turned around and said to everyone:

"How about I cook? What do you want to eat?"

After hearing this, Huatiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

She knew that Zhou Xiu could cook and that her cooking skills were excellent. Huatui drools over her desk-mate's breakfast every day, but it's a pity that she doesn't have the chance to have her lunch.

The others were very surprised. Zhou Xiu could actually cook?

It's rare to find girls who can cook these days. You know, when a girl enters the kitchen, it's a disaster.

Du Feiyang quickly ordered the dishes: "I want to eat rose soy sauce chicken!"

"I just want a baby cabbage." said Yu Qingyan.

Xu Qing said, "I can do anything."

She couldn't help but list them off: "I want pork ribs with plum flavor, crispy roast pork, snow clam stewed with papaya, white fungus stewed with coconut milk and rock sugar, strawberry puffs, snow meringue..."

Xu Qing and Du Feiyang held their foreheads in silence.

Zhou Xiu wrote down the menu, glanced at her and said calmly, "You can only order two tidbits."

Huatiao hesitated for a long time, and after much hesitation, he made a painful choice: "Then I'll go with pork ribs with plum flavor and stewed snow clam with papaya."

Zhou Xiu listed the ingredients and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy them. Hua Xu stopped her, "It's too late, don't go."

She made a phone call and asked the maid to bring the ingredients over. In less than half an hour, the ingredients were delivered to her door.

Zhou Xiu took out her cell phone and sent a message to Aunt Niu and the housekeeper of the Xi family respectively, informing them that she would be staying at a classmate's house for dinner tonight and would be back later.

Then she calmly took out the ingredients from the plastic bag, stood at the cooking table, and methodically processed the live fish, ribs, and chicken.

She was slicing fish fillets, planning to make fish soup. Her movements were quick and clean, as if she knew them by heart.

Xu Qing watched for a while and couldn't help shaking his head with laughter: he finally understood why Zhou Xiu didn't want to do the crucian carp dissection experiment.

The way he handles live fish is more fluent than the teacher's.

Xu Qing asked everyone around who knew how to cook, but to his surprise, the others kept shaking their heads. Huaxu even spread his hands and said: I haven't even touched a knife.

Yu Qingyan can only wash vegetables, Du Feiyang is even more useless, he can only watch the fire and the behind-the-scenes——

Well, there was no room for anyone in the kitchen, so she watched everyone cook with great interest.

Zhou Xiu's knife fell rhythmically, cutting melons, slicing chickens, the sound of oil splashing as vegetables were put into the pot, the sound of water gurgling as soup was boiled, and the humming sound of the egg beater spinning...

Various sounds in the kitchen intertwined like a lively symphony, giving this cold and spacious house a long-lost hint of homely air.

When the dishes were cooked and served on the table, those useless people washed the melons and tore the vegetable leaves. Their sense of satisfaction reached its peak and the smiles on their faces were simply unstoppable.

"Oh my God, I can't believe I can cook." Yu Qingyan said in surprise.

Huaxu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You just washed some baby cabbage. This is what Xiuxiu fried."

"Woo woo woo, I don't care. The vegetables I wash are super delicious." Yu Qingyan said with emotion.

She bit a piece of pork ribs and suddenly thought, "This is Young Master Yuan's favorite food. I should eat more."

"Xiu Xiu's ribs are still the best. They are much better than those sold in restaurants outside. They smell so good!"

Huaxu was eating the sweet papaya stewed with snow clam, and she was touched and held her face up: "This dessert made by Xiuxiu is so healing."

A few people finished their meal laughing and started doing their homework.

Xi family.

It was completely dark and it was long past dinner time.

After Xi Shaoyuan finished his shower, he asked casually, "Why don't I see Zhou Xiu?"

The housekeeper said, "Oh, Master, are you asking about Xiuxiu? Xiuxiu is having dinner at her classmate's house today."

She finally made new friends at school, which was not easy. The housekeeper had always been worried that the little girl from the mountains would be shy and wouldn't be able to get along with children from the big city.

Xi Shaoyuan frowned after hearing this. In his impression, Zhou Xiu was taciturn and seemed not good at making friends.

Seeing that it was getting late, the housekeeper took out his cell phone and called Zhou Xiu. At this time, a voice came from the door.

It’s Zhou Xiu who’s back.

She put down her schoolbag, took out her cell phone and called the housekeeper. She looked at the housekeeper, and when she turned her head slightly, she met Xi Shaoyuan's cold gaze. She asked in surprise:

"What's wrong?"

The housekeeper looked at the young master's frown, then looked at Zhou Xiu, and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, you're back. The young master was worried about you just now."

Xi Shaoyuan was too lazy to refute. He glanced at the butler with disgust and a sharp warning look.

Zhou Xiu filtered out this sentence. Xi Shaoyuan wished he didn't exist, so why would he worry about her?

"There's no need to worry. I'm safe at Hua Ti's house. She was the one who sent me back."

After Zhou Xiu finished speaking, she changed into sportswear and started exercising. After running, she took out her homework and started writing.

In order to prepare for the monthly test for the National Mathematical Olympiad, Zhou Xiu was so busy that she didn't even have time to do her homework.

The homework I had done in advance only lasted until January. The monthly test took up a lot of her time to make money.

Zhou Xiu felt a little heartbroken.

system:【……】

The homework for January is not enough, does she want to finish the winter vacation homework in advance?

Yes, the system was right. Zhou Xiu found out the content of the winter vacation homework from the teacher.

Chinese composition, English dictation and recitation, vocabulary accumulation, physics test papers, chemistry exercise books... She took out a brand new exercise book and started doing the questions.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Zhou Xiu lay sleepily beside the desk and accidentally fell asleep.

Xi Shaoyuan got up in the middle of the night to get some water and found that the light in Zhou Xiu's room was still on.

He glanced at it casually and frowned slightly.

Zhou Xiu's behavior during this period seemed different from the Zhou Xiu he knew.

Thursday, early morning.

The students in the Rocketry Class are all very concerned about the results of the monthly test of this competition class.

Originally they just thought that Zhou Xiu would be eliminated from the competition class this time, but after yesterday's test, everyone suddenly felt insecure.

The difficulty of the test questions increased suddenly, and many students were unable to adapt. Many people said they failed the test after finishing it. Maybe this time more than one person will be cleared out by Lao Wang.

Thinking that this result might happen to them, the students who failed the exam felt as if they were being weighed down by a huge rock and were unhappy.

I want to hear the results, but I am also afraid. I have been feeling anxious and suffering from post-exam syndrome.

This is a problem with the competition class mechanism. If a student is not suitable for the competition, it is better for him to withdraw as soon as possible. After all, there is more to it than just competition, the college entrance examination is the highlight.

The school also relies on these top students to achieve a high admission rate.

For top students, if they are eliminated in the monthly competition test, they have to work hard to accumulate scores for the monthly exams and can only get in based on their ranking.

Qi Yaguang was not afraid, because she had always been good at math and always ranked among the top in regular tests. Xu Haobo, Li Simiao and other top students who already have good grades don’t have to worry.

The difficulty of the test questions is not a problem for truly top students. Because real gold is not afraid of fire.

So after an exam, some people are happy while others are sad.

The second period of the Rocket Class is Lao Wang’s math class. Lao Wang has always been fast at grading papers, so it is no problem to ask him about the monthly test results.

And he should announce the grades in class.

During the break before math class, Qi Yaguang sat next to Lu Lingshan and said excitedly:

"Lingshan, we can go home together on Wednesday afternoons from now on."

"You will definitely be able to enter the competition class this time. I guarantee you that someone will fail this test. I've been looking forward to your coming!"

The "someone" that Qi Yaguang referred to was specifically Zhou Xiu. But - to the ears of other students, it sounded irritating for the first time.

The results haven't been announced yet, but you're so sure that someone will give up the spot to Lu Lingshan?

Those top students who estimated that they would fail felt particularly upset.

Qi Yaguang continued while eating melon seeds: "What's the point of being diligent? You still only get that little score..."

Several top students who quickly found their seats fell silent: "..."

I'm sorry that I'm a drag on the talented students in the rocket class, but my achievements are indeed the result of hard work.

If I hadn't worked hard, I would have gone to a regular class long ago.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but retort: ​​"I thought Zhou Xiu didn't do anything wrong, right?"

What does it mean to hope that bad things will happen to others? Besides, their results haven’t come out yet. What if they did better than you?

A girl said: "I think Zhou Xiu should be able to do well in the exam. When she handed in her test paper, I was behind her and happened to take a look at her test paper. She had finished writing the questions."

Qi Yaguang's first reaction was to refuse to believe it, "She...how could she possibly finish it?"

Zhou Xiu only scored 60 points in the last class test which was so easy and she raced against time to read books before the test. It was good enough for her to finish two proof questions in this monthly test.

Lu Lingshan smiled, held Qi Yaguang's hand, and asked her to speak less.

Finally, the math class that everyone has been looking forward to is here.

Lao Wang took a stack of monthly competition test papers and threw them on the podium.

His bronze face flushed red with anger, like the Fire Cloud Evil God. "No one in our class got a perfect score this time. I'm so disappointed!"

Without God’s support, how can you expect to get full marks?

The top students sitting below the podium had their pains in their hearts but couldn't express it.

“I want to criticize the students who have regressed the most.”

"Qi Yaguang, come up here. Take a look at what you wrote. Did you listen to my class? You can't even pass the test with a student in a parallel class."

etc--

What did they hear?

It’s not surprising that Lao Wang curses people, and his sentence patterns are very fixed, but the sentence pattern he often uses is “I can’t even pass the exam with the students in the Winners class.”

This time...it's a parallel class?

You heard it right, it’s a parallel class. They seemed to know something extraordinary.

The top students sat up straighter. In the past, when Lao Wang scolded people, it always went in one ear and out the other. At this moment, there was sudden surprise in his eyes and he listened attentively.

The author has something to say:

Small theater:

later--

Lao Wang's common sentence patterns have been completely fixed

Rocket class students until graduation

They are all shrouded in the shadow of this sentence. This sentence is:

Lao Wang: How did you do in the exam? You couldn’t even beat the students in the parallel class?
