Chapter 42. Forty-two. What will this family do without him?! ...
Forty-two:
Mu Shaoyan was utterly incredulous. What was his little nephew talking about? How long?
"Xiao Xi, please give your uncle a way out," Mu Shaoyan said in despair.
Ye Qingxi looked at him and said, "If you behave well, you can go back to once per class."
"When will I be released after serving my sentence?" Mu Shaoyan asked wistfully.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi's words were enough to make Mu Shaoyan's eyes go black: "Take the college entrance exam."
Mu Shaoyan collapsed onto the sofa. He was wrong. He was wrong from the very beginning. He shouldn't have skipped class this morning to beat up Sun Zhen. If he hadn't beaten up Sun Zhen, he wouldn't have been there, wouldn't have met Ye Qingxi, and wouldn't be in jail now.
Some people are alive, but they are already dead; some people are alive, but their lives are worse than death.
Mu Shaoyan held Ye Qingxi's hand, his gaze intense, "A year, more than three hundred days, can you bear to do that?"
Ye Qingxi was quite heartless, but he was afraid that his uncle wouldn't be able to persevere.
Well, realistically speaking, it's better to take it one day at a time.
“Then let’s do it for a week,” he said.
He'll think of another way a week later.
Mu Shaoyan is resurrected at lightning speed!
Compared to the college entrance exam, a week is simply heavenly!
He hugged Ye Qingxi tightly, and whatever he said, he would say that his nephew was the cutest and most tender-hearted little darling.
Mu Shaoyan couldn't help but bury his head in his chest and nuzzle against him, "Xiao Xi, you're so good."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi raised her hand and gently stroked the dog's head.
Wait, Ye Qingxi looked at the black hair on his dog head, "Your hair has turned black again?"
"I washed it," Mu Shaoyan said. "I always use the kind of disposable hair dye that the hair salon uses, it's easy to rinse off."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi sighed, "So why do you insist on dyeing your hair?!"
Wouldn't it be better to be a clean-cut, handsome young man?!
Isn't it good?!
Ye Qingxi sighed inwardly, "Then I'll head back now."
"Okay. Your uncle will take you home."
Mu Shaoyan picked him up and took him back to Mu Shaowu's room.
Mu Shaowu watched him reappear in his room, glanced at him, then at his son. Something was wrong; there was definitely something going on between them.
After Mu Shaoyan left, he quickly scrambled to Ye Qingxi's desk.
"What does your uncle want with you?"
Ye Qingxi mentioned the cake that Mu Shaoyan had just given him, "This one."
"So you'll get a cake?"
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaowu was very suspicious, "Is there nothing else?"
Ye Qingxi nodded again.
Mu Shaowu didn't believe it. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined his son.
Ye Qingxi smiled and let him examine her, jokingly saying that if Mu Shaowu could find any flaws in her face, he would immediately give the Best Actor award to Mu Shaowu!
As expected, Mu Shaowu didn't see anything.
"Could he be overthinking it?" Mu Shaowu wondered.
"So, are you going to eat now or after you finish your homework?"
"Let's eat after we finish our homework," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
Mu Shaowu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Just one floor away, Mu Shaoyan downstairs sadly sent Lu Zhao a message: "I'm not going to No. 2 Middle School tomorrow morning. Can you guys manage on your own?"
Looking at the message, Lu Zhao asked, "Is my nephew going to be checked again tomorrow morning?"
Mu Shaoyan: That's right, and the spot checks are even more frequent now!
"Hmm," Mu Shaoyan replied.
Lu Zhao smiled and thought that he was indeed a good person and was very gentle and patient with his nephew.
Lu Zhao: [Understood.]
After saying that, he added, "You should study hard."
However, Mu Shaoyan had no desire to study properly.
So the next morning, after sending Ye Qingxi a selfie, he went back to sleep.
Ye Qingxi looked at his black hair in the selfie and nodded in satisfaction. Twenty minutes into the first class, she asked him to take a picture of her with her hand on her math book.
Unfortunately, Mu Shaoyan was fast asleep and didn't hear his WeChat notification at all.
When he was woken up by the bell, he picked up his phone and saw that Ye Qingxi had sent him two photos.
Mu Shaoyan instantly snapped out of his daze and quickly sent the photos as Ye Qingxi had requested.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi made a phone call.
Mu Shaoyan answered very quickly.
"What were you doing before?" Ye Qingxi asked. "Why didn't you send me photos or reply to me?"
Mu Shaoyan explained gently, "I fell asleep."
"real?"
"Really." Mu Shaoyan said gently, "Baby, believe me, I really am at school. I was just too sleepy and didn't notice."
"Then you're not allowed to sleep in the next class."
"Okay, okay." Mu Shaoyan said without hesitation, "I promise I won't sleep in the next class! I swear!"
Ye Qingxi was finally relieved. "Then you should get some rest now."
"You too, get some rest."
Mu Shaoyan hung up the phone. Well, now it was changed to twenty minutes later, and he couldn't even sleep.
Mu Shaoyan sighed, feeling melancholy.
The girl sitting behind Mu Shaoyan looked at her deskmate in shock after hearing what he had just said.
Her deskmate was just as shocked as she was.
Their eyes met, and the two silently brought their heads together.
"Did you hear that? He just said 'baby'?!"
"I heard it, I heard it, and the voice was so gentle!"
"I knew it! Turns out he was dating someone!"
"Of course! He just convinced them to believe him and promised not to sleep in the next class!"
"Indeed, the power of love is great!"
"As expected, romance novels really did live up to my expectations!"
After some reflection, the two quietly posted on the forum: "Breaking news! Something's up with our school's bully!"
[Something's up? Mu Shaoyan?]
[What the heck?! Is this source reliable?!]
[Good heavens! Someone actually managed to win over Mu Shaoyan! How many girls must be heartbroken!]
I really don't understand how anyone can like this kind of trash!
【What?! The person upstairs is crazy. Why join the thread if you don't like it?!】
It's normal for Mu Shaoyan to have fans, right? He's handsome and rich. Although his grades aren't good and he's flamboyant, he's genuinely handsome and wealthy!
[I'm just curious, what kind of girl would someone like Mu Shaoyan like?]
Immediately, everyone started discussing it.
However, Mu Shaoyan, whom they were talking about, was focused on playing games—of course, what else would he be doing if he wasn't playing games?
He had promised his little nephew he wouldn't go to sleep.
Mu Shaoyan was exhausted. How could this week have to be seven days long?
Seven days, and this is only the first day, but he already feels like each day is an eternity!
How am I supposed to get through the days to come?!
During the break before school ended at noon, Mu Shaoyan returned from the restroom and overheard a girl saying that a candy store had opened nearby and that the gummies were especially delicious. She planned to buy some at noon.
Mu Shaoyan stopped and asked her, "Where?"
"Huh?" The girl was a little confused.
"The candy store you mentioned that day."
"At the intersection of Xiqing Road."
Mu Shaoyan nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After the girl finished speaking and saw him leave, she whispered in confusion, "Why did he suddenly ask me that?"
"He probably bought it for his girlfriend. Didn't you see the post? According to reliable sources, Mu Shaoyan has a girlfriend and he even calls her 'baby'!"
Everyone: !!!
"What kind of person, how beautiful, could possibly catch his eye?"
"Who knows!"
"I never expected Mu Shaoyan to be in a relationship. I thought he and Duan Yi were the least likely to be in a relationship in our class."
"I really want to see the baby in his mouth."
"Let's wait and see, maybe there will be an opportunity," the girl said with a smile.
Unbeknownst to them, the "baby" Mu Shaoyan was referring to had just been brought into the teacher's office.
"Were you playing with your smartwatch in class?" the homeroom teacher asked, looking at him. "Ye Qingxi, it was one thing for you to sleep in class before, but why are you playing with your smartwatch now?"
"Did your family buy you a watch so you could play with it in class? You should be studying hard at school."
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I'm not playing around."
"I saw it all," the homeroom teacher said helplessly.
Ye Qingxi simply opened her WeChat chat window, raised her wrist in front of her, and showed it to her.
"I'm checking if my uncle is at school."
Class teacher: Huh? ???
What did he say?
Who are you checking?
“My uncle is a senior in high school this year and needs to attend classes properly, but he keeps trying to skip them, so I ask him to take a picture of me every twenty minutes,” Ye Qingxi explained.
head teacher:? ? ?
"You? You're checking your uncle's information?"
Ye Qingxi nodded.
head teacher:……
The homeroom teacher was puzzled.
"Does your uncle... listen to you?"
"I heard it." Ye Qingxi pointed to the photo on her smartwatch, quite proudly. "Teacher, look, this is the photo he sent."
The homeroom teacher looked down and, lo and behold, it really was a photo taken in the classroom.
This picture shows a hand clenched into a fist and placed on the Chinese textbook, that picture shows a finger making a peace sign and placed on the English textbook, and another picture shows a hand making a thumbs-up gesture upside down and placed in the desk drawer.
It can be said that each one is unique, and each one vividly proves that his uncle was indeed in the class, in his seat.
that is……
You're only five years old, kid!
You're only five years old, where did you get so many wonderful ideas from!
The homeroom teacher suddenly remembered Ye Qingxi's suggestion to have Sun Hao write a self-criticism and have his mother record it on video as an apology.
"Did you come up with all of this yourself?"
Ye Qingxi nodded.
How did you come up with that idea?
Ye Qingxi: ...How should I put it? I just thought of it like that.
Ye Qingxi looked at her without saying a word.
He didn't say anything, and the homeroom teacher just assumed he was shy.
She couldn't help but praise, "You're so smart."
Ye Qingxi raised the corners of her lips and smiled shyly.
But kid, you're only five years old, how can you talk to your eighteen-year-old uncle!
The homeroom teacher instantly thought of four words: "Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!"
What is this if not a reversal of the Heavenly Gang?!
The most outrageous thing is that his uncle actually lets him take charge!
It really is true... like attracts like!
"How long have you two been doing this?"
“Starting yesterday afternoon.”
Yesterday afternoon, the homeroom teacher remembered, "Is this the uncle who treated you to dinner yesterday?"
Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Oh, I see," the homeroom teacher thought. He had assumed that Ye Qingxi's uncle was already working, so he had come to see him specifically yesterday.
It seems that someone skipped class yesterday and was caught by their nephew.
The homeroom teacher was both amused and exasperated.
I've only ever seen juniors skip class and get caught by their elders, then be supervised in their studies. I've also once seen an elder skip class and get caught by a junior, then be supervised in their studies.
In particular, this junior is only a five-year-old child.
The homeroom teacher almost burst out laughing.
He patted Ye Qingxi's little head; what a pitiful heart one has for their nephew!
"Your little nephew is quite responsible."
Ye Qingxi felt the same way. From his eldest uncle to his youngest uncle, what would this family do without him?
