Chapter 350 (Updated 3501)
350:
Ye Qingxi and Pei Liang became the top scorers in this year's high school entrance examination. Besides the Mu family and the Pei family, the principal and teachers of Sizhi were the happiest.
Sizhi has produced many top scorers in the high school entrance examination, but this is the first time that it has produced two top scorers at once.
The principal immediately put up banners, posted a list of honors, and awarded Ye Qingxi, Pei Liang, and their homeroom teacher a large sum of money.
Grandpa Pei never dreamed that his grandson would score the same as Ye Qingxi and become the top scorer in this year's high school entrance examination. He was so happy that he immediately called Mu Feng.
"Haha, I never expected this! I never thought they would get the same score!"
Mu Feng was also surprised.
This was the first time he had ever seen two people achieve the top score in the high school entrance exam.
However, Pei Ying was his good friend, and Pei Liang was someone he had watched grow up since childhood. Moreover, Pei Liang had always had a good relationship with Ye Qingxi. Therefore, Mu Feng was very happy to see this.
"Now they can continue attending the same school again."
"That's right." Grandpa Pei said with emotion, "Unbeknownst to us, they've known each other for so long, and they're about to start their first year of high school."
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng also felt that time had flown by.
When Ye Qingxi and Pei Liang first met, they were both only five years old, just little toddlers, soft, innocent, and adorable. But now, they have grown into teenagers and are about to enter high school.
"This child has really grown up in the blink of an eye."
"Mm." Mu Feng nodded.
"I wonder if they'll be able to stay together in college."
"Whether they are together or not, after so many years, their friendship will definitely not change."
Grandpa Pei thought so too.
"Do you think we should have a meal together about something this big? Won't Old Zhong and Old Kang be upset? After all, their grandson isn't a top scholar."
Mu Feng smiled, "You've grown up, you even consider other people's feelings now."
Grandpa Pei: ...At his age, can he still grow up?
Grandpa Pei was speechless. "Then you haven't grown up yet. You don't care about my feelings at all."
Mu Feng said indifferently, "You're already this old, do you still need others to consider your feelings? Can't you try to understand and process things yourself a little more?"
Grandpa Pei: ? ? ?
"No, why do you say everything?"
"Of course it's because you're wrong."
Grandpa Pei: ...You think you're so right! You think you're the most right person in the whole world! Why don't you call yourself Mu Li?!
So, are you going to eat or not?
“Eating is fine,” Mu Feng said. “They shouldn’t be unhappy. Xiao Xi said that Zhong Yan and Kang Cong did well on the exam and can also get into No. 1 Middle School.”
"That's good," said Grandpa Pei. "Otherwise, if any of them were missing, these children would probably be sad."
"That's right," Mu Feng thought to himself, "after all, it's a friendship forged from childhood."
As Mu Feng had predicted, Zhong Xiang and Kang Chi were indeed not unhappy.
They were well aware of their grandsons' abilities. To be fair, Zhong Yan and Kang Cong's current achievements were not only due to their own efforts, but also largely thanks to their two personal tutors, Pei Liang and Ye Qingxi.
Especially Pei Liang.
Ye Qingxi would also leave school to act or attend award ceremonies, leaving Zhong Yan and Kang Cong behind and unable to supervise them.
Pei Liang, however, was almost always by their side whenever they were at school, and even during holidays, he would sometimes come to their house to ask them to do their homework together.
The Zhong and Kang families saw this and kept it in mind. Now that they know Pei Liang and Ye Qingxi have become the top scorers in the high school entrance examination, they are extremely happy.
Everyone hopes that they can continue to be this outstanding.
The four of them enjoyed a meal and some drinks, chatting about their grandchildren and reminiscing about their past.
As people get older, they love to reminisce about the past, especially when they see their grandchildren walking the paths they once walked, it's as if they are seeing their younger selves again.
"But Lao Mu, at your age, you don't have the same grades as Xiao Xi."
"Old Mu didn't want to learn. Once he wanted to learn, his grades immediately soared."
"That Xiao Xi can act and sing, but it doesn't affect her good grades."
"You could say that Lao Mu is smart, but Xiao Xi is even smarter."
“You’re lucky too.” Zhong Xiang patted his old friend’s hand. “You have two grandsons, and both of them are top scorers in the high school entrance exam. I think Xiao Cheng is just like his father; he’ll definitely be able to take over his father’s job in the future.”
Pei Ying quickly said, "I think Xiao Xi is not bad either. Maybe he can take over Lao Mu's job."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhong Xiang said with a smile. "With two children like these in the family, you don't need to worry anymore. Just wait to enjoy your retirement."
"As if you can't enjoy it yourself?" Pei Ying said.
Zhong Xiang sighed, "Our Xiaoyan is currently trying hard because he has his friends around and wants to be with them. But who knows what will happen in the future? I don't think he cares about the family's businesses at all."
"It's alright," Pei Ying reassured him. "Maybe the child will start his own business. Look at Shao Yan, he's doing quite well. His game is so popular, even my sister's grandson is playing it."
"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes."
“Definitely,” Pei Ying said with a smile.
Zhong Xiang then laughed as well.
Mu Feng and Kang Chi watched, and unconsciously, the corners of their lips also turned up.
The setting sun outside the window hung round and bright on the treetops, its colors so intense that it seemed more like it was blooming than falling.
Ye Qingxi became the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, and Mu Feng held another family banquet to celebrate for him.
The rest of the Mu family had already heard the news. At first, although most of the Mu family members dared not say much due to Mu Feng's authority, they couldn't help but feel that Ye Qingxi was truly lucky to be able to enter the Mu family and become Mu Feng's grandson.
Now, so many years have passed, and they have watched Ye Qingxi grow up and step by step walk out into his own world. Emotionally, they have long regarded him as a child of the Mu family, and their thoughts have unconsciously turned into: The old man is lucky to have adopted such a good child.
After all, what worries parents the most is their children.
Ye Qingxi is not only well-behaved and filial, but she can also stand on the opening stage of the World Championship and become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination. She hardly causes her parents any worry.
Who wouldn't like a child like that?
Anyway, the Mu family all like it.
Especially since Ye Qingxi would greet them with a sweet smile every time they came over.
Even though they had barely met, Ye Qingxi could accurately address them by their titles, appearing as if she was "very happy to see you."
She is truly likable.
Everyone conscientiously prepared gifts and went to the family banquet in high spirits. After the banquet, they took Ye Qingxi's hand and asked him to teach them how to study so well.
Ye Qingxi: ...What else can I do? Of course, I'll do more practice problems!
You should know that he started secretly working on past exam papers and mock exams from the first year of junior high school in preparation for this high school entrance exam. Even when he was filming in the United States, he didn't forget to do the practice papers he brought with him after filming.
Geniuses in this world always appear in pairs with hard work, like Duan Yi, Qin Cheng, and Pei Liang.
That's why these fake geniuses need to work even harder.
After all, being reborn is just living life again, not getting a new brain. He is still himself, not Einstein.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi said very seriously, "Do more practice problems, especially the ones you often get wrong. You must do them repeatedly and practice them over and over again. The practice papers that Pei Liang and I did before the high school entrance exam were about this thick."
Ye Qingxi raised her hand to indicate the height, and the Mu family elders present thought: ...You two really have it tough.
The Mu family children present: ...No! So many of them could really kill someone!
After the Mu family banquet ended, Mu Shaowu took Ye Qingxi to the Feng family in S City.
There was no way around it; when Grandpa Feng learned that Ye Qingxi had become the top scorer in their local middle school entrance exam, he was incredibly excited. He immediately posted on his WeChat Moments to announce it to the world, and that very night he called Ye Qingxi to say he wanted to celebrate with him—he also wanted to host a family banquet.
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated. After much persuasion, she explained that she wasn't familiar with the rest of the Feng family. Only then did Old Master Feng agree to let the old folks celebrate for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi had already met his brothers and sisters and had a good impression of them, so she agreed.
So, Grandpa Feng's brothers and sisters gathered together again, along with Feng Que, to celebrate Ye Qingxi's excellent results in the high school entrance examination.
"Xiao Xi, you're amazing! You did so well on the exam!" Grandpa Feng said happily.
Grandpa Feng's brother also said with delight, "After you go to high school, you can think about what you want to study in college and where you want to go. If you want, you can study abroad. It just so happens that Xiao Que's parents are there and can take care of you."
"That's right, you mustn't waste your talent."
"It's truly a joyous occasion that our Feng family can be associated with the top scorer in the high school entrance exam," said Old Master Feng's sister.
Ye Qingxi had never really thought about going abroad. Hearing this now, he suddenly realized, oh right, he was going to high school soon and should start thinking about university. And some majors in university are definitely better abroad.
However, Ye Qingxi has no plans to go abroad.
He still preferred to stay in the country, to stay by Mu Shaowu and Mu Feng's side.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi smiled and didn't say anything more.
They stayed at the Feng family's villa for a week. A week later, Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu returned home.
The day after he returned home, Mu Shaoyan came back.
As soon as he returned, he pulled Ye Qingxi into his bedroom.
Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to tell you."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"Speak."
Mu Shaoyan looked at him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
When Ye Qingxi saw him like this, she felt that this matter was most likely related to Duan Yi. After all, only when it involved Duan Yi would he show such a shy and embarrassed expression.
He smiled, opened a bag of potato chips in Mu Shaoyan's room, and prepared to eat the chips while listening to the gossip.
"I..." Mu Shaoyan's embarrassment became even more obvious.
He looked at Ye Qingxi, his eyes sparkling, and his face clearly showing happiness.
"I'm getting married to Duan Yi!"
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi's open mouth, which was about to eat potato chips, was frozen in place.
What did he say?!
What is he planning to do?!
Who's getting married?!
Ye Qingxi instantly changed her tune from eating to talking, "No way! Your family doesn't know about this! How can you get married like this!"
"So I'm going to tell your grandfather in a bit," Mu Shaoyan said. "Since you passed the imperial examination with top honors, your grandfather will be in a good mood and might spare my life and grant me a complete corpse."
Ye Qingxi: ...Isn't this putting his grandfather to a lot of pressure?!
