early 20s
◎Grandpa, they won’t let me eat!◎
Bai Xia didn't expect Lu Jinnian to have such a big opinion about the male protagonist. To be honest, she ate the ice cream herself at the beginning, but it was the male protagonist's fault for being so wicked that he even wanted to steal her bride.
"It's okay, Grandpa. Just let Lu Shuo take the class with me. It's only half an hour anyway." She said seriously.
Seeing his great-granddaughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Lu Jinnian's expression instantly softened. "Okay, okay, if you're tired, then I won't go. You're still young, and your main priority right now is to grow up healthy and happy. We can worry about other things later."
Lu Lin's eyebrows twitched slightly. He remembered that he had been assigned to full-day courses when he was five years old, and the old man had never said this to him.
"Grandpa, I hope you'll be healthy and happy too." Bai Xia picked up a bun and put it on his plate.
Lu Jinnian couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Xia Xia is sensible. Unlike your father, he always does irrelevant things."
The eldest one is always out of tune, and the other two are also disorderly. One only has women in his heart, and the other only has game consoles in his heart. There is no one who makes him worry-free. Only the great-granddaughter is well-behaved and sensible, and it is obvious that she is better than her father.
Assistant Xu tried to suppress his laughter. The chairman never lectured the president like this before, but ever since the young lady came back, the president had been lectured more and more often by the chairman.
After dinner, Bai Xia returned to her room. The housekeeper told her that she would need to go to Huayue Primary School to take the entrance examination in a few days. Most people did not need to take the examination, but she was too young, so if she wanted to be admitted as an exception, it would be better for her to take the examination.
She still had to go through the necessary procedures. It wasn't a big deal, and she couldn't let people think she could only use the back door.
The financial management teacher arranged by the male protagonist arrived the next day, but the teacher paid more attention to Lu Shuo during class, probably because he thought that she, a three-year-old child, was just an auditor, and Lu Shuo was the real student.
But the latter kept biting the tip of his pen, and looked at the words on the blackboard as if he were looking at ghost drawings. He knew some of the words, but why couldn't he understand them when they were put together?
He didn't understand how he had offended Bai Xia. Why did she drag him to take this kind of class? It was too much!
After the get out of class was finally over, he immediately stopped the girl and said, "I did everything you said, why did you still make me take this kind of class?! Also, you said you would teach me how to play games quickly, but you haven't told me yet! If you don't tell me, I won't listen to you anymore!"
“…”
Bai Xia had already stood up, but sat back down. "The quick way is very simple. Just search for game guides online, and then thoroughly understand the skill descriptions. You'll quickly master it."
In fact, the most important point is to pull. A mindless attack will definitely not work. You must be ready to retreat at any time before the enemy attacks, and attack during the gaps in the enemy's skills. This set of skills is almost the same in any fighting game, but she feels that the other party may not understand it, so she should listen to the quick version first.
"But what should I do if I don't understand the techniques they are talking about?" Lu Shuo scratched his head.
He also looked at game guides online, but they were too complicated and he was too lazy to listen.
"Then you should read more. Once your comprehension ability improves, you'll be able to understand everything." Bai Xia glanced at him. "Remember to finish the exercise book I gave you today, and then explain the solution ideas to me again tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lu Shuo could only continue biting the tip of his pen. He didn't know why, but ever since he memorized the multiplication table, he felt that those math problems were not that difficult. He was indeed a genius.
In fact, Bai Xia asked Lu Shuo to attend class together not really to make him listen, after all, he couldn't understand it either, but mainly to make Yao Yun feel more balanced and avoid making her think that Lu Jinnian was deliberately cultivating her.
What if Yao Yun falls into extremes and we have to deal with her? She is still so young and it is too easy for her to encounter danger. We have to guard against the risks of a wealthy family.
On Monday, the housekeeper took her to take the entrance examination. All children under the age of five had to take it. She also saw He Yuehua, who was only a few days away from turning five.
After the exam, they went out to eat together. Bai Xia originally wanted to go see the heroine, but considering that she was so busy, she decided to just video chat.
Unexpectedly, the male protagonist did not act up during this period. She always felt that it was abnormal. It might be because he was asked to help with artificial intelligence and had no time to act crazy. It turned out that people still need to be busy.
Summer vacation always passes in a flash. On the first day of school, Lu Qihui got up early, which was rare. It was as if he finally remembered his status as an elder and decided to personally send her and Lu Shuo to school.
"Xia Xia is still young, you have to take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her, okay?"
At the dinner table, Lu Jinnian earnestly admonished his grandson, who kept chewing on the lamb leg and mumbled, "I know. I will protect her well."
This little brat practices karate every day. He can break wooden boards with just a kick. Does he still need anyone to protect him?
What if he grows taller in the future?
"You have a good attitude towards study during this period. This is a reward from grandpa." Lu Jinnian put a card on the table.
Seeing this, Lu Shuo stopped eating the lamb leg and quickly took it and stuffed it into his pocket, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Lu Jinnian smiled again and handed his great-granddaughter a card. "This is a reward for Xia Xia's admission to school. Buy whatever you like. Don't save money for Grandpa."
Bai Xia already had her schoolbag on her back. "Thank you, great-grandfather."
Seeing that his father was about to leave with Bai Xia, Lu Shuo muttered to himself, wiped his mouth, and quickly followed.
After getting in the car, Bai Xia couldn't help but remind him, "Remember your identity when you are outside, and don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
Lu Qihui, who was sitting in the front seat, looked back, not understanding what the two kids were talking about.
Only Lu Shuo muttered a few words while drinking milk. If he didn't want to find it, then he didn't want to have anything to do with a little brat.
Huayue Primary School is several times larger than the previous kindergarten. Luxury cars are driving in and out of the gate, and there are many more students. Bai Xia followed Lu Qihui to Class 1, Grade 1, but she not only saw He Yuehua, but also saw two people she didn't want to see.
"Bai Xia, what a coincidence! You're also in this school? We're so destined to be together!"
Qi Mo was sitting in the third row. When he saw the girl, he smiled instantly, showing his big white teeth, as if he wanted Bai Xia to see that his teeth had grown out.
Bai Xia glanced at Lin Yan in the corner. She didn't think these two people were a coincidence.
Seeing Bai Xia sitting in the second row, Qi Mo immediately picked up his schoolbag and moved next to her. This time, he must become Bai Xia's deskmate!
"Have you had breakfast? I brought it specially for you. Which one do you like, Chinese or Western?" He immediately took out a hot breakfast from his schoolbag.
Bai Xia took out her own small water bottle and said, "I like quiet in class, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mo immediately sat up straight and said, "I never gossip in class. No one is more disciplined than me."
He Yuehua couldn't help but glance at him any longer. "Are you ashamed? You were the loudest in the whole classroom just now."
Qi Mo frowned and was about to argue with her, but when he thought of Bai Xia's love of quietness, he could only force himself to shut up. It was not until the teacher appeared that the whole classroom gradually quieted down.
"I'm very happy to meet you all. From now on, I will be your homeroom teacher. You can call me Teacher Li. If you have any questions, you can come to me. Don't be afraid, classmates. The school is a big community. We must all be united and friendly with each other. Don't do anything that violates the school rules."
"Finally, regarding the students' seats, I have rearranged them according to everyone's height. Now, let's start changing seats."
A seating chart suddenly appeared on the big screen. Qi Mo's heart shattered when he saw that he was in the fifth row, while Bai Xia was in the first. For the first time, he secretly hated himself for growing so tall! It must be all from the calcium supplements he ate during summer vacation!
"Study hard and make progress every day." Bai Xia glanced at him, then walked to the first row.
Qi Mo blushed as he walked to the fifth row and discovered that his deskmate was actually Lin Yan. He immediately leaned over and said, "She told me to study hard. Is she caring about me?"
“…”
Lin Yan: "Eat more walnuts, it helps improve your memory."
Hearing this, Qi Mo looked at Bai Xia thoughtfully again. Yes, he must study hard so that if Bai Xia skips a grade in the future, he can do the same!
The first class was basically the teacher talking about some basic school rules. After class, Bai Xia suddenly heard a little girl in the first row crying on her desk. It turned out that the student sitting behind her had snatched her pen.
There is always a group of people in school who take bullying as fun and think it is no big deal, but they don’t realize that it can easily leave psychological trauma on children.
She stood up and walked over, staring at the boy, "Give her the pen back."
The boy was playing with his phone. When he heard her words and looked at her height, he almost laughed out loud, "So what if I don't give it to you!"
Bai Xia also took out his cell phone and called the class teacher. If this kind of behavior is not stopped, more people will be bullied in the future.
The head teacher went and came back, and after hearing what happened, he thought it was just a matter of a pen, so he asked the boy to return it to the little girl and apologized to her.
"The teacher told us to be united and friendly. I didn't bring a pen with me. Can't I borrow one from my classmates?" The boy looked up.
Bai Xia frowned, "Are you borrowing it? There are surveillance cameras in the classroom. You clearly robbed it. Today you stole a classmate's pen and even lied about it. Who knows if he'll rob a bank when he grows up and become a social cancer."
The head teacher was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. She knew Bai Xia's identity, and she was the first in the entrance examination. She didn't expect that he had such a strong sense of social responsibility.
"You - you're talking nonsense! Who robbed the bank?" The boy didn't know how to refute for a moment.
The head teacher immediately looked at him seriously and said, "It's wrong to lie about stealing things. Apologize to your classmates now."
As if no one had ever dared to disobey him, the boy folded his arms and raised his head, "I won't!"
"Teacher, since he is unwilling to apologize, we don't want to be in the same class with him. Who knows if he will steal our things in the future? It's best to notify his parents to solve the problem. We are here to learn, not to be bullied. If it leaves a trauma in our childhood, it will be a lifelong problem." Bai Xia said seriously.
"Yes! Apologize!" He Yuehua echoed.
The people around him also echoed, "Apologize!"
Qi Mo had long seen Bai Xia's eloquence, and no one had ever been able to win an argument with her. He didn't even have a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, so he slammed the table and said, "You're stealing people's things, do you have any morals?"
Lin Yan followed up, "We can't let one person ruin the whole class's learning atmosphere. I hope the teacher can deal with this strictly."
Seeing everyone around him looking at him with strange eyes, the boy's face instantly turned red, and finally he muttered softly, "I'm sorry."
"Didn't you eat? Wasn't the noise just now very loud?" Bai Xia looked dissatisfied.
The boy could only stare at her, then looked at the girl whose pen he had snatched away, "I'm sorry!"
"I will tell your parents about this matter. Don't do this again. We are all classmates. If you don't have a pen, you can borrow one from your classmates. But it is absolutely not allowed to steal your classmates' things. And if it happens again, you will be criticized by the whole school." The teacher said in a serious voice.
The boy seemed very dissatisfied and didn't say anything else. It's just a pen, what's the big deal!
Bai Xia returned the pen to the little girl, then took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to her. "It's okay. From now on, if anyone tries to steal your things, you should be bolder. Those are your things, and no one has the right to take them away."
The little girl took the tissue and raised her head with tears in her eyes. There were traces of tears on her chubby face. "Thank you. My mother told me not to get into conflicts with my classmates. This is what a good child should do."
Hearing this, Bai Xia was speechless. Such parents really existed in reality. Either they were weak-willed or they were afraid that their children would cause trouble for them. Those who could send their children to this school must have a good family background. Obviously, it could only be the latter.
Not everyone has a happy family environment, and a word from a parent is enough to change a child's character.
"Being a good child doesn't mean being bullied. We must learn to protect ourselves. What's your name? If someone bullies you in the future, you can come to me." Bai Xia took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to her.
The little girl's eyes sparkled. "My name is Wang Yiyi, and I'm five years old."
"My name is Bai Xia, and I'm almost four years old this year. Let's go have lunch together at noon." She smiled slightly.
The little girl nodded vigorously, and a smile instantly appeared on her face.
The bell for the second class rang, and Bai Xia had no choice but to return to her seat. If she had kept silent today, everyone would have gotten used to the boy's behavior and probably thought that having a pen snatched away was nothing. However, only by letting everyone know that this was wrong behavior would they establish correct values.
Children are most easily influenced by their environment. She will never tolerate any bullying.
At noon, seeing that the little girl was still a little shy, Bai Xia took the initiative to take her to the cafeteria for lunch. The first floor was a public cafeteria, and the second and third floors were restaurants. As long as you had money, you could order dishes.
Bai Xia ordered several dishes, but as soon as he sat down, several people surrounded him.
The leader was the boy who had grabbed things in the class. He seemed to be bringing some acquaintances from other classes with him and walked straight towards them.
"Do you know who I am? What's wrong with me stealing her pen? I was just happy!" The boy slammed the table in frustration.
Wang Yiyi was timid and was so scared that he almost cried.
Bai Xia looked displeased. "Who are you? This is a society ruled by law. The school is a collective. Even if you're the principal, you can't steal people's things. You like stealing things, don't you?"
The boy looked up unconcerned, "So what? My family also invested in this school. I stole her things, and I'll do it again tomorrow. If you have the guts, tell the teacher to fire me!"
Bai Xia knew this boy. His family was in real estate and they had made a lot of money in recent years and were quite famous. She didn't expect that the boy would be spoiled to be so lawless.
She took out her cell phone and dialed Lu Jinnian's number. It rang for about two seconds before being connected. A gentle voice came from the other end, "What's wrong, Xia Xia? Is the food at school not to your liking? Grandpa can have the chef make some and send it over to you, okay?"
"No, great-grandfather, I was having dinner with my classmates. There was a guy named Zheng Hao who didn't let me eat. He brought a lot of people with him. I was so scared." She said seriously.
Hearing his great-granddaughter's voice, Lu Jinnian's expression suddenly changed, but his tone remained gentle, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, just sit there and wait for the teacher."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xia sat down to eat. Although she could fight, these people were only half a head taller than her, which was a good opportunity to test the results of her judo learning. However, she was a civilized person, and fighting in public would affect the teaching ecology.
It would be better to let Lu Jinnian solve the problem. The other party thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because his family is rich, so she wants to let this person know that just because he is rich he can't do whatever he wants.
This kind of naughty child is obviously too lawless, and his parents are overly indulgent. If he is not given an unforgettable memory, he will probably never think that he is wrong.
Seeing her actually complaining to her parents, the boy almost laughed. But before he could warn the others, the cafeteria teacher suddenly came over with a serious expression, "Zheng Hao from Class 1, right? Who told you to bully a female classmate? Do you have any discipline? Apologize to your classmates now!"
Unexpectedly, the teacher actually knew his name. The boy snorted, "I won't! My family invested in this school, so I can do whatever I want!"
The teacher immediately looked at Bai Xia amiably and said, "It's okay, students. Take your time eating. The teacher will take care of it."
After saying that, he lectured the boy in a very serious tone. The principal had just called and said that someone was bullying the daughter of the Lu family in the cafeteria. He was so scared that he hurried over to find someone.
After Bai Xia finished her meal, the teacher took them to the principal's office. When she got there, she found Lu Jinnian was also there, along with a strange middle-aged man and woman who greeted Lu Jinnian with smiles.
Seeing his son coming over, Zheng's father immediately grabbed his arm and said sternly, "Who told you to grab your classmate's pen? Apologize to your classmate now!"
This was the first time his father was mean to him. Zheng Hao's eyes instantly turned red. He didn't understand why his father should be afraid of an old man when he had investments in the school.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Lu, I'm really sorry. Tomorrow, I will let Haohao transfer to another school. It will definitely not affect Xia Xia's studies." Zheng's father smiled apologetically.
Lu Jinnian sat there in silence until he saw his great-granddaughter. Then he smiled and waved, "Have you eaten enough? Is the food at school delicious?"
The principal also broke out in a cold sweat. Chairman Lu was a legend in the business world. He was shocked when he received the call. He didn't know who dared to bully Chairman Lu's daughter.
"It's okay, but he brought people here to stop us from eating and even stole my classmates' things. I tried to reason with him, but he didn't listen." Bai Xia curled his lips.
She just wanted to tell the boy a lesson: never think that you can solve all problems with privileges, because there are privileges above privileges, and no one can have absolute special treatment.
"That's because he doesn't know how to behave." Lu Jinnian patted the girl's head, then stared calmly at Zheng's father. "This is school, a place where propriety and honor are important. What do you think we should do?"
Father Zheng swallowed hard and looked at his son sternly, "Apologize now!"
The boy almost cried out loud, but he still wiped his tears and looked at Bai Xia, choking and saying reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
"It's not me, it's her." Bai Xia looked at the timid Wang Yiyi standing aside.
The boy sniffed, and under his father's gaze, he looked at Wang Yiyi and said, "I'm sorry."
"Uncle, I have already reasoned with him, but he said he would steal things again in the future. This is a very bad behavior. I hope you can urge him to correct this bad habit. No matter how old or valuable the items are, it is wrong to steal other people's things. It will also bring very bad effects to the entire group." Bai Xia looked at Zheng's father seriously.
The latter nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! Uncle will definitely make him change! Thank you for forgiving him!"
He was also stunned when he received the call from the principal. Chairman Lu rarely showed up in public, and he didn't expect that he would come to the school to seek justice for a great-granddaughter. He couldn't afford to offend the Lu family.
"Then grandpa, my classmates and I will go back to class." Bai Xia waved his hand.
"Go." Lu Jinnian's face was full of kindness.
When his great-granddaughter disappeared in the principal's office, his expression became gloomy again. He glanced at the principal out of the corner of his eye, and without saying a word, he walked out with the housekeeper on crutches.
The principal personally sent the person away with sweat all over his forehead, his heart pounding as if he had thought of something. He immediately called the kitchen to ask them to improve the taste of the food in the future, especially to pay attention to the hygiene.
School was over at three in the afternoon. Bai Xia didn't expect Lu Jinnian to come and pick her up. Maybe he thought that she was young and would be scared if she encountered such a thing. It would be bad if it really left a trauma in her childhood.
Sure enough, as soon as she got in the car, the other party asked her about her well-being and told her not to be afraid in the future. If she had any problems, she could call him or ask the teacher to solve the problem.
"It's okay, grandpa. I'm not afraid of him. Have you forgotten? I studied judo. I didn't fight because fighting at school would have a bad influence. Now that he has apologized, you don't have to pursue it any further." Bai Xia said while holding the milk bottle.
Lu Jinnian's face was full of kindness, "Xia Xia is still amazing."
He had forgotten that his great-granddaughter had learned judo. Girls do need some skills to protect themselves. It is better to be safe than sorry. Even though she is still so young, she probably still needs bodyguards to follow her all the time.
He sent his great-granddaughter to school so that she could study, not to feel wronged. Fortunately, his great-granddaughter was not scared today, otherwise he would not have just apologized and let the matter go.
Lu Shuo sat there holding potato chips, his face full of displeasure. "Even when the teacher called my parents before, I never saw my grandpa come to school."
Lu Jinnian glanced at his grandson and frowned instantly, "How dare you say that? Who told you to play games in class?"
Lu Shuo curled his lips, holding the potato chips and turning his head to look out the window. "If I don't play games, what else can I play? Xia Xia likes reading, so let her read more. Everyone has their own talents, and my talent is playing games."
