Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Must Move Out (2nd Update)

Xu Niannian laughed softly and gently patted Yang Cuihua’s back to soothe her.

"Mom, Jin Yu isn’t that kind of person, and Chen Xiaorou is a good girl. Besides, like you said, Jin Yu is so outstanding. If he isn’t aware of himself, could I possibly ward him off? Just relax. Once I get my paycheck this month, I’ll have her move out, okay? Let her make do for the next few days."

Yang Cuihua suddenly raised her voice, seemingly triggered by Niannian’s words, "No, she must move out immediately. How can you not be on guard? I’m telling you, if you encounter a woman who wants to tempt your man, you kill one as they come, and if two come, you wipe them both out."

Xu Niannian rubbed her forehead in pain, "Mom, killing people is illegal."

"I never said to actually kill anyone."

Yang Cuihua pouted, "You girl just can’t see people for who they are. I saw that girl sneaking glances at Xiao Jin at dinner last night. You’d better wise up for your mom, my silly girl."

Chen Xiaorou sneaking glances at Jin Yu?

Xu Niannian frowned. How come she hadn’t noticed?

Wasn’t Chen Xiaorou always scared of Jin Yu? Every time Jin Yu was around, she didn’t even dare to breathe, let alone sneak glances at him.

Impossible, right?

And Niannian clearly felt that Chen Xiaorou actually fancied her dense brother Xu Zhicheng.

Xu Niannian recalled last night’s events carefully.

Suddenly, she realized that Jin Yu and Xu Zhicheng had been sitting next to each other last night.

It seemed that Chen Xiaorou was actually looking at Xu Zhicheng.

Seeing Xu Niannian lost in thought, Yang Cuihua snorted, "I told you so, that girl looks like a vixen."

Xu Niannian was brought back to reality by Yang Cuihua’s sharp voice.

She quickly explained, "Mom, don’t make things up, Chen Xiaorou isn’t like that, and she doesn’t fancy Jin Yu."

"I’m making things up?" Yang Cuihua pointed unbelievingly at her own nose, hurt that her daughter seemed to be taking someone else’s side.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Xu Niannian quickly hugged her mother’s shoulders and coaxed, "Oh, Mom, that’s not what I meant. I’m not blaming you. How could I possibly blame you when you’ve been so good to me? I wouldn’t blame you for anyone else’s sake."

"But you still said I was making things up about her," Yang Cuihua complained nasally.

Xu Niannian could only laugh and cry, continuing to gently pat Yang Cuihua’s back.

"Okay, Mom, I’m not blaming you, but let’s not suspect and make things up about others without any evidence, okay?"

Xu Niannian let go of her and batted her beautiful eyes pleadingly as she spoke to Yang Cuihua.

Her daughter was Yang Cuihua’s precious treasure, and Yang Cuihua didn’t want to upset her. She thought to herself that she just needed to keep a close eye on that girl for the next few days.

After calming Yang Cuihua down, Xu Niannian whispered in her ear that Chen Xiaorou fancied Xu Zhicheng, and that was who she had been looking at last night.

At first, Yang Cuihua had her doubts.

"Baby Nian, you’re not just saying this to put my mind at ease, are you?"

Xu Niannian shook her head, "Of course not, Mom. You have such discerning eyes. Just watch carefully and you’ll see if Niannian is lying to you. Besides, Jin Yu didn’t even sleep here last night, he’s not staying here anymore."

Yang Cuihua had gone to sleep early the previous night, and by the time she and Xu Dawei went to bed, Jin Yu still hadn’t left.

She had thought Jin Yu hadn’t moved out and had just gotten up early in the morning for something.

Having listened to Xu Niannian’s explanation, Yang Cuihua finally felt completely relieved.

Having handled Yang Cuihua, Xu Niannian took Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhicheng to Yuexiang Primary School to enroll.

This time, the principal of Yuexiang Primary School personally received them and was exceptionally warm.

When Xu Niannian had come to inquire with the principal before, he had been polite but not as enthusiastic.

She knew the reason for the principal’s warm hospitality was undoubtedly Jin Yu’s influence.

Arriving at the new school, the expectations and aspirations in Xu Duoyu’s and Xu Zhicheng’s eyes were shiningly evident.

Besides aspiration and expectation, there was also a hint of restraint and nervousness.

Xu Duoyu, being younger, didn’t think too much, his nervousness came simply from entering an unfamiliar environment.

It was different for Xu Zhicheng.

His nervousness came from an inner sense of inferiority and sensitivity.

He only knew a few characters, yet he was going to second grade. Would his classmates mock him? Would his teachers dislike him?

After all, apart from recognizing a few simple characters, he knew nothing.

Xu Duoyu was about to start pre-school, and Xu Niannian took him to the classroom first.

Their homeroom teacher was that Teacher Yu Xu Niannian had met before, the woman who seemed very gentle.

Teacher Yu, aware of Xu Duoyu’s situation, said to Xu Niannian, "Don’t worry, Xu Duoyu has just transferred, and as the homeroom teacher, I’ll pay extra attention to him. I’ll communicate with you promptly if anything happens."

"Thank you, Teacher Yu. Please take good care of my little brother," Xu Niannian said.

Teacher Yu gently smiled and replied, "It’s no trouble."

After settling Xu Duoyu in, Xu Niannian took Xu Zhicheng by the hand, heading to Class 1 in the second grade of the primary school.

She could clearly feel Xu Zhicheng’s nervousness and unease.

His little hand was gripping hers tightly, sweaty from anxiety.

Xu Niannian looked down at him, but he kept a stiff expression, silent, not sharing his anxiety and unease with her.

Arriving at the classroom door during recess, many kids were playing in the hallway.

Seeing the beautiful elder sister Xu Niannian, they timidly gathered around to watch.

Xu Niannian smiled and greeted them, "Hello, kids."

"Hello, big sister," a shy little boy said before rushing into the classroom, blushing.

Xu Niannian found it somewhat amusing.

Xu Zhicheng stood at the classroom door with a stiff face. Xu Niannian pulled him aside a bit and gently crouched in front of him.

"Zhicheng, are you nervous?" she asked.

Not wanting to trouble Xu Niannian, Xu Zhicheng tried to look mature and insisted, "No, I’m not nervous."

Yet his little hand was still clutching Xu Niannian’s fingers tightly.

Xu Niannian did not expose his pretense, "Zhicheng, let me tell you, although you are in the second grade, you are different from them," she reassured.

Hearing ’different’, Xu Zhicheng tensed up even more.

Patting his hand gently, Xu Niannian continued, "Don’t be nervous. When I say you’re different, I don’t mean you’re less than they are, but that you started school later. These kids have already been through kindergarten and first grade. Of course, they will know more characters and have a firmer grasp of knowledge than you, so their grades might be better, but this is normal since we, Zhicheng, haven’t started studying seriously yet. As long as Zhicheng studies hard, you definitely won’t be worse than them," she explained.

"But you need to persist for a long time, okay? Others have been working hard for more than two years to achieve their current results. So if Zhicheng doesn’t understand something or if the grades aren’t good, don’t be sad. It’s because we have only been going to school for a month. Pay attention in class, and if you don’t understand something, write as much as you can in your notebook. Then you can come home, and I’ll teach you, okay?"

Moved by Xu Niannian’s words, little Xu Zhicheng looked up, his eyes brimming with tears, and suddenly threw himself into her arms, sobbing, "Sister, I’ll definitely be good to you in the future."

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but feel both amused and touched.

Silly little brother.

After calming Xu Zhicheng down, Xu Niannian let him enter the classroom.

Not wanting the two brothers to be looked down upon by the other kids, Xu Niannian had specially bought them new clothes, backpacks, and a full set of school supplies.

Brand new and eye-catching.

As soon as Xu Zhicheng stepped in, he attracted the attention of his classmates. To avoid showing fear, Xu Zhicheng kept his back straight, adopting an unnaturally grave demeanor.

Xu Niannian watched from the window for a while and, seeing that everything was fine, she left the classroom and headed for the teachers’ office.

She needed to talk to the different subject teachers and the homeroom teacher for Class 1, Grade 2.

There were actually only two teachers.

The language arts teacher and the math teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher.

Both teachers had been informed in advance that a new student would be joining their class, and the principal had specifically instructed them to give extra attention to this little student.

Xu Niannian explained Xu Zhicheng’s situation to the teachers, to prevent him from being punished by the teacher for not being able to do his homework or answer questions.

At this stage, what Xu Zhicheng needed most was to adapt to his surroundings, and he was very sensitive.

Punishment and verbal reprimands from the teachers could make him feel even more insecure and sensitive.

At this stage, Xu Niannian didn’t need him to have good grades; the least she wanted was for her dear brother to be ruined because of his studies.

The two teachers expressed their understanding.

The two male teachers listened to Xu Niannian’s concerns, and although they knew they should maintain decorum as educators, they couldn’t help but watch her intently, nodding and agreeing with everything that Xu Niannian said.
