He tried his best to maintain a distance of two fists from Zhou Xiu, with his hands on either side of her, forming a stable space. At this moment, the crowds and noise seem to have disappeared.
It was so quiet that the only sound I could hear was my heartbeat.
Zhou Xiu did not answer, but looked up at Xi Shaoyuan——
The teasing look in Xi Shaoyuan's eyes had not yet disappeared, and he met Zhou Xiu's serious gaze. After a few seconds, he looked away.
He held Zhou Xiu's slightly wet head with his hand and said, "Don't look at me like that."
"I don't look good."
Zhou Xiu: “…”
The school was only two stops away from Zhou Xiu's home, and Zhou Xiu got off the subway soon.
When she passed the gate and turned around to look again, there was no trace of Xi Shaoyuan in the crowd.
Zhou Xiugang turned around and unexpectedly saw the tall white figure in front of him.
Xi Shaoyuan stood there and asked coldly, "Are you still not leaving?"
Zhou Xiu stared at his wet hair and rain-soaked school uniform, then silently looked away.
After the two people walked out of the subway entrance, the Xi family's housekeeper came towards them with an umbrella, looking anxious.
When the butler saw Xi Shaoyuan being drenched by the rain, his expression was as if the sky had fallen, and he said with heartache: "Why are you——"
"How can you get wet in the rain?"
"Hurry up and get in the car, you two kids, to avoid catching a cold."
The butler looked around. Xi Shaoyuan didn't say anything and was very stubborn. He then used a caring attitude to persuade Zhou Xiu to get in the car.
Zhou Xiu couldn't resist the housekeeper's enthusiasm and got into the Xi family's car.
Two minutes later, Zhou Xiu returned home.
On a rainy day, the car was parked at the gate of an old residential area.
The butler handed Xi Shaoyuan a set of clean, new clothes, "Master, change quickly. You know the condition of your body!"
…
Zhou Xiu returned home, took a shower and changed her clothes, then told her parents that she had won the first prize in the provincial biology competition.
Zhou Cheng was cooking dinner, frying a dish of dried shrimp and egg yolk. The noise from the spatula was quite loud.
He listened to his daughter's casual and bland words and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, oh oh."
When he came to his senses, his eyes widened, "What? Xiu'er, say it again?"
Zhou Xiu actually won the first prize in the biology competition?
Even though Zhou Cheng had not received much education, he knew how powerful it was. It is an exam that brings together the brightest students in the province.
In the past, if Zhou Feng and Zhou Kai, the lifeblood of the Zhou family, ranked in the top three in the class in the final exam, Grandma Zhou would smile from ear to ear and would kill chickens and ducks for extra dishes. These are just the top few in the class, but his Xiuer got the first place in the province!
This news completely stunned Zhou Cheng.
Liu Mei also opened her mouth wide, no wonder Xiu'er was able to get a scholarship! It turns out that this is the level of scholarship.
Zhou Xiu took a sip of water and repeated, "I said, I won first prize in the biology competition."
After hearing this, Zhou Cheng couldn't even use the spatula to flip the food. The egg drop sizzled and gave off a faint burnt smell. It was still Zhou Xiu who walked into the kitchen, turned off the gas stove and served the food in one go.
Liu Mei couldn't help but smile, she said happily: "Xiu'er is really promising, let your dad make you a delicious meal tonight."
"Add a few more dishes!"
Zhou Cheng nodded, "Yes, we need to add a few dishes."
He was so happy that he took money out of the drawer. But when he opened the drawer, he found that there was no bag containing money. He paced around the living room anxiously like an ant on hot pan, looking for the purse everywhere. After searching for a long time, he scratched his head.
"My memory—"
Liu Mei stared at her husband wandering around looking for something in astonishment. She took the purse he had casually left on top of the refrigerator and said, "Don't leave things lying around in the future."
Zhou Cheng looked at his daughter who was about to change her shoes and go out with him, and said, "Wait at home. The market is dirty in the rain. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Cheng went to the vegetable market downstairs and skillfully caught a local chicken, picked out a lively fish, and brought back some fat crabs.
Zhou Xiu was doing her homework in front of the window while listening to the sound of rain. After Zhou Cheng came back, Zhou Xiu prepared to turn off the live broadcast on her phone.
The fans in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited: "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."
The old fans who have watched the live broadcast for half a semester have a tacit understanding. Today, the host’s desk for doing homework is dark brown, and the desk at school is light yellow, which is obviously the host’s home.
When at home, the anchor occasionally records some videos of her father cooking.
Zhou Xiu fixed the phone stand and placed it facing the chopping board and cooking pot. She was washing vegetables in the sink in the opposite direction of the camera.
Zhou Cheng peeled crabs skillfully, taking an average of thirty seconds to peel one crab.
A fan said: "Dad's hand-tearing skills are so neat and cruel——"
"Slurp, it smells so good."
Zhou Cheng used his thin knife to cut open the back of the Wuchang fish and twisted it, then placed it on a plate to make it look like a peacock spreading its tail. He then sprinkled it with shredded green onion, ginger, green and red peppers, and put it in a pot to steam.
"Work hard to win the Guojin" frowned, he looked at it for a long time and said: "The anchor should write more interesting topics."
"Efforts to Make Money" seldom cared about these trivial matters in life. He never had to worry about how the rice and dishes were prepared before they were served on the table, because the aunt at home would take care of them properly.
But this kitchen full of the flavor of fireworks is the highlight for most fans.
Other fans' comments instantly drowned him out: "No, I think the rice is more delicious. I don't care what you think, I only care what I think."
"I finally got to see Xiu's dad cooking. I was moved to tears."
"One person wrote in blood and begged Xiuba to open a separate live broadcast room! If Xiuba opened a live broadcast room and focused on live broadcasting, his fans would have exceeded one million long ago."
"Dad's cooking skills are really good, 666!"
Zhou Xiu killed the chicken, and Zhou Cheng used one side of the chicken and stewed chicken soup, poured in a lot of oil, and fried the other half of the chicken until golden brown, then removed it and added cooking wine, dried peppers and chopped green onions to stir-fry until fragrant.
"Work Hard IMO", who had been watching for a long time without showing any interest, suddenly said, "Wait, the chicken just handed over was killed by the anchor?"
He was suddenly stunned and paused the screen.
The girl who was imagined to be smart, calm, delicate and pretty could actually kill a chicken without blinking an eye, and the veins on the fist holding the chicken's neck were even slightly visible?
Other fans said: "Blind student, you found the highlight."
"Both father and daughter are cold-blooded killers. Oh. It smells so good - Kung Pao Chicken smells so good!"
"I'm not arguing, why aren't they a father and son? I think the anchor is a boy. Look at the hands that caught the chicken, they are so big and strong!"
Many fans thought that the anchor was a boy, even though his name sounded very feminine. After all, it is understandable that it is easier to attract fans by pretending to be a girl these days.
Zhou Xiu accidentally glanced at this comment and couldn't help laughing. She held her tongue.
However, when Zhou Cheng saw the flood of rewards, he happily explained every detail to his fans.
When Zhou Cheng started to fry the shacha crab, the foodies lurking in the live broadcast room started to give him tips crazily. As Zhou Cheng flipped the pot skillfully, the flames rose several feet high.
The crabs gradually turned red, and the moment they were put on the plate, the fragrance seemed to overflow from the live broadcast room.
Ten minutes later, he took out the steamed Wuchang fish, which was emerald green and bright red in color, just like a peacock spreading its tail. Together with the previously fried shrimp and egg drops, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and satay fried crab, it made a sumptuous table.
"ajuc rewarded an airship."
"Try to get a plane on IMO."
"I'm in the middle of evening self-study and I'm hungry after watching this. Why doesn't the anchor have to go to evening self-study?"
"I'm licking the screen like crazy. I'm so lucky to have a dad who can cook."
“I envy the anchor so much!”
Zhou Xiu walked over and was about to turn off her phone, but unexpectedly she saw a series of envy and happiness. She glanced at Zhou Cheng who was taking off his apron, and Liu Mei who was serving rice and distributing chopsticks.
Zhou Xiu stared at the comments that were flooding the screen and typed:
"Thank you, everyone. Goodbye."
"Try your best IMO" is still immersed in the shock of the girl suddenly turning into a man, unable to extricate himself.
"努力冲国金" said: "I will come to watch the anchor's math live broadcast tomorrow. I am a freshman in high school and plan to sign up for a math competition next year!"
The gender of the anchor is a mystery, it doesn’t matter whether they are boys or girls, “Strive to Earn Guojin” is about learning.
As soon as the word "first year of high school" was thrown out, the other academic fans were frightened.
"Little brother, you have something interesting. I thought you were a sophomore, but it turns out you are only a freshman?"
He kept saying that he didn't want to waste his high school life and leave any regrets, which made everyone think he was a sophomore. Because for the sophomores, this year's biology competition is indeed the last one in their high school career.
Zhou Cheng called out "Xiu'er, eat!" and Zhou Xiu logged off and turned off the live broadcast.
Liu Mei said: "Xiu'er, eat more, your dad made this especially for you."
In the past, Grandma Zhou would yell at Zhou Cheng to add more dishes to Zhou Feng and Zhou Kai, leaving all the chicken legs and eggs for her two nephews. Zhou Cheng and Zhou Xiu were so hungry that they had no share and could only watch others eat.
Although Liu Mei didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, knowing that she and her husband would have to rely on their two nephews to hold their ashes after death, and that Afeng and Akai were both roots of the Zhou family, she was gradually awakened by Aunt Li and no longer confused.
Nephews belong to other people's families, but daughters belong to your own families.
Liu Mei passed a large chicken leg to Zhou Xiu, "Xiu'er, eat it. Both legs are yours."
Zhou Cheng rummaged around and found another chicken leg, then passed it to Liu Mei, "You eat too. One is enough for Xiu'er."
He gnawed on the chicken neck and butt with a smile on his face, enjoying the food very much.
Liu Mei piled a small mountain of shrimp and egg drops into his bowl, "Eat more."
…
Yude Middle School.
In the morning, Zhou Xiu came to school. When I walked up the stairs, I met a group of younger classmates for the first time.
They all greeted: "Good morning, God Xiu."
"Good morning, senior."
Zhou Xiu said good morning and quickened his pace towards the classroom.
Zhou Xiu took out the breakfast made by Zhou Cheng and ate it in the corridor. Students of the same grade would greet her when they passed by.
Huaxu came to the classroom, put down his schoolbag and asked Zhou Xiu: "How does it feel to become famous overnight?"
Huaxu shook the phone and showed her a bunch of popular posts in the forum.
"Now you are the 'Show God' who is as famous as Xie Shen, and you are the Show God who defeated Du Heng."
Zhou Xiu almost choked while eating the glutinous rice chicken.
Zhou Xiu's eyes suddenly flashed with the scene of Huaxu kissing Du Heng.
Zhou Xiu threw the garbage into the trash can and asked softly, "Will Xuxu be happy if I surpass Du Heng?"
Huaxu nodded vigorously, "I'm happy. Xiuxiu will do the same next time."
Between Du Heng and the school's honor, of course the school's honor is more important.
Huaxu took out a summer milk pudding from his schoolbag and pushed it in front of Zhou Xiu, "Drink more milk to nourish your breasts."
The behind-the-scenes footage glanced at Zhou Xiu's increasingly round curves. A spring had passed, and all those boxes of Telunsu had not been drunk in vain.
Her phone dinged and a message popped up from Du Heng, "Is the pudding ok?"
"Okay, okay, it's delicious. Can I have mango and strawberry pancakes tomorrow?"
The author has something to say:
Highlights: I want to eat mango pancakes, green tea crepes, stewed papaya with snow ha, stewed pear with rock sugar...
Zhou Xiu: No, Xuxu, you don’t want to
Du Heng thought for a moment: Hmm.
