Chapter 93: Chapter 93
"Xiao Su, this stewed crab egg is done well!"
Rong Zhi lifted her eyes and saw two figures busying themselves in the kitchen.
Fu Liang happened to carry out the stewed crab egg and waved at Rong Zhi when he saw her, "Zhi Zhi, come over, your favorite stewed crab egg."
Because Rong Zhi loves eating crabs, Xu Ningxing bought a lot of hairy crabs last night. They couldn’t finish them all, so they kept them in the pool and just slaughtered them today.
Bai Su followed behind Fu Liang. Today, he was wearing a white casual outfit in a regular style, which made him look gentle and peaceful. His features were exquisitely handsome to the extreme, and his pair of almond-shaped eyes were deeply contemplative.
Standing by the kitchen door looking over, he smiled with elegance and grace, "Zhi Zhi, are you done? Just in time, come over and eat."
Rong Zhi: "..."
Why is he so practiced at this?
It’s just been a morning, what happened that she doesn’t know about?
...
There weren’t many dishes on the table, but when counted one by one, most were Rong Zhi’s favorites.
Even with Fu Liang’s slow reaction, he understood this much.
He looked at the pair across from him, then at the food, his brows furrowed, deciding to have a good talk with Bai Su after the meal.
But Young Master Bai, who was diligently serving food, wasn’t aware he’d already been slated by Fu Liang.
Rong Zhi lowered her head to eat.
Then a long, jade-like hand holding a silver spoon reached over, with a spoonful of exceptionally tender stewed crab egg on it.
The fragrant aroma wafted into her nose, and Rong Zhi lifted her gaze.
"Try this." Bai Su smiled calmly.
Rong Zhi glanced at the bowl, still with more than half of the stewed crab egg remaining.
...Alright.
"Thank you," she said lightly, "It’s enough, you should eat."
Bai Su had been serving her food since the beginning, without taking much for himself. Rong Zhi felt a bit embarrassed and used public chopsticks to serve him a portion back.
Then she noticed....
The dishes on the table were all to her or Fu Liang’s taste.
Rong Zhi pursed her lips, feeling suddenly a bit ill at ease, not embarrassed, just an indescribable feeling, perhaps like with He Songzhi? After all, He Songzhi was just as unconditionally kind to her.
After pondering slowly for a while, Rong Zhi suddenly understood, oh, that’s how it is.
Then she probably could understand it now.
Rong Zhi picked a dish that Bai Su quite liked and served it to him, calmly saying, "Let’s eat."
Bai Su’s eyes dimmed slightly, his long lashes casting a shadow over the rippling emotions in his eyes, and he chuckled softly, "Alright."
...
Mingwu High School, Senior Year 3 faculty meeting room.
Yao Xiaoshan and a group of Senior Year 3 teachers were grading the monthly exams.
Although they only had to grade Year 3, there were just a few teachers, so everyone’s workload was quite a lot, and it took almost a day to finish grading.
Teacher Liu from the Chinese department had the last stack in her hands; her eyes were blurry, so she put down the pen to sip some water before continuing and casually vented to the teacher next to her, "This stack is from the last exam room, right? The handwriting is a mess, but presentation is part of the score, and this handwriting... Hey? This handwriting is good!"
The exam she was grading happened to be the last one from the stack. Compared to the previous scribbled ones, the writing on this exam was strong and elegant, almost daring to be praised as beautiful!
Teacher Liu’s eyes lit up, and her previous fatigue vanished as she carefully looked through the exam, becoming increasingly amazed.
All the multiple choice questions were correct, all the fill-in-the-blanks were correct, and the reading comprehension was also completely correct!
Even in a subject like Chinese, where it’s hard to hit the key points, scoring full marks on the first page is impressive!
Teacher Liu vaguely anticipated this student’s essay and quickly marked the score on the first page, then turned the page joyfully—
"..."
?
Could someone tell her why this patch of blankness lay ahead?
"What the heck?!"
Even Teacher Liu, a good teacher, couldn’t help but curse, "Is this a joke? The front page scores full marks, and the essay is blank?!"
Teacher Liu was nearly infuriated.
The teacher next to her, observing her agitation, quickly leaned over to inquire about the situation, "What is it? What kind of bizarre exam did you get? Oh, let me tell you, this year’s batch of Year 3 students is quite good. I just graded a few with pretty decent scores."
Other teachers also chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I’ve graded math papers where many students scored full marks on the big questions at the end, and this year’s topics were harder than in previous years."
"You too? I must say the students this year are truly impressive. By the way, Teacher Liu, you haven’t mentioned what’s going on? What exam shocked you so much?"
Teacher Liu wiped her face, flipped the exam repeatedly to confirm the essay was indeed blank, then handed it out with resignation and complaint.
"See for yourselves, which class is this student from? The questions in the front are well-answered, and then you find the essay’s not written! I nearly got high blood pressure from it."
Yu Nian, sitting to her right, leaned over to look as she spoke, muttering, "Which student is so audacious, let me see..."
Her sentence trailed off.
This exam?
This handwriting?
It felt somewhat familiar?
Teacher Liu raised an eyebrow, "Yu Xiaonian?"
Yu Nian snapped back, chuckling sheepishly, "No problem, no problem, Teacher Liu, carry on."
Teacher Liu eyed her, and patted the desk, "Who do you think you’re fooling with that trick? Spit it out, do you know this student?"
Yu Nian shook her head, then nodded, finally wearing a sheepish smile under Teacher Liu’s icy gaze, "Just... I just find the handwriting familiar, looks a lot like our class’s Rong Zhi..."
Teacher Liu: "Rong Zhi? The one who scored full marks in the school math competition?"
Yu Nian nodded.
Yao Xiaoshan, in the main position, noticed the situation here, glanced around the meeting room, and seeing the teachers’ faces openly curious and intrigued, she knocked lightly on the table, speaking calmly, "Since the exam is graded, it’s fine to open it and take a look."
With the director’s word, the other teachers would surely open the papers.
Teacher Liu swiftly removed the staples in a couple of tries, drew out the exam, and looked at the name column—
Class: Senior Year 3, Class Two
Name: Rong Zhi
Holy moly, it really is him!
Teacher Liu’s high blood pressure hit her on the spot, "Did Chinese offend him somehow?! Why can he score full marks in math, but not write the essay in Chinese! What kind of grudge does he have with Chinese, huh?!"
Yao Xiaoshan opened her mouth in surprise.
A bit willful, indeed.
Yu Nian found herself with a headache, patting Teacher Liu’s back to soothe her, her small face smiling sweet and fawning, "Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, when he’s back from break, I’ll lecture him! This is too much!"
Teacher Liu snorted coldly.
Next time she goes to Class Two, she’s definitely pulling Rong Zhi out to lecture him, why he didn’t write the essay!! Argh!!
On the other side, Rong Zhi, who had just finished eating and was tidying the table with Bai Su, suddenly felt a chill on her back.
Bai Su noticed her discomfort and asked gently, "What’s wrong?"
Rong Zhi murmured, "Nothing, maybe it’s the draft, a bit cold."
The forecast did say temperatures would drop these days.
Bai Su nodded, "Do you have clothes in the room? Go up and find a jacket to put on in a while."
Rong Zhi: "Mm."
The two had just finished tidying the dishes when the distinctive roar of a motorcycle sounded from outside the villa.
As Rong Zhi walked past the living room with a freshly brewed cup of red date and goji berry tea, a pure white strip-like animal dashed across the front yard.
