This was already considerate enough.
Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile. “I just praised you for your excellent observation skills, but in the blink of an eye, you’re treading on lightning!”
“What do you mean?” Xia Qinghuan was stunned. She blinked at Jian Ai. “You have a conflict with your uncle? I couldn’t tell!”
Jian Ai only sighed softly. “It’s a long story. I won’t even bother to mention it. Anyway, it’s not as simple as it seems.”
Xia Qinghuan raised her eyebrows in understanding but didn’t ask further. After all, this was Jian Ai’s family’s private matter. Although the two of them were good friends, they still knew their limits.
At night, Wang Yunzhong returned home very late.
In the living room, the old man and the old lady were sitting on the sofa watching television. Seeing that Wang Yunzhong was back, the old lady quickly stood up and went up to him. “Why are you back so late? You worked overtime again?”
“No, I went to Qianqian’s.”
Wang Yunzhong changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. When he saw the old man drinking tea, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Zichen? Is he asleep?”
“Not yet. I just sent him some fruits. He’s doing his homework,” the old lady said.
Wang Yunzhong nodded. “He didn’t throw a tantrum with you these few days, right?”
Before school started, Wang Yunzhong put away Wang Zichen’s toys, comic books, and laptop. This led to Wang Zichen causing a scene with him.
However, Wang Yunzhong did not soften his heart. At this crucial juncture of Year Three, if he let his son do as he pleased, it would harm him.
“No.” The old lady sighed and said, “He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood yesterday or today, but he didn’t cause a scene.”
Wang Yunzhong didn’t think too much about it. When he heard this, he only nodded. “Regardless of whether or not he makes a scene, you can’t spoil him. It’s just this one year. It will pass after he grits his teeth. Year Three is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.”
“Alright, your father and I know that in our hearts. Have you eaten? We’ve left some food for you. Shall I heat it up for you?” the old lady asked as she looked at him.
Wang Yunzhong nodded. “I’ll eat some.”
At night, he went to Xu Qianqian’s place to try out the results of her first studies. In the end, Xu Qianqian almost burnt the kitchen. After struggling for the entire night, she brought out a bowl of black noodles, but he almost vomited after taking a bite.
Upstairs, Wang Zichen was applying medicine to the bruises on his leg with a cotton swab. When he heard the voices downstairs, he quickly put everything away.
The next morning, Jian Ai packed up and went out before six in the morning.
Xia Qinghuan had brought home all the things they bought yesterday, so Jian Ai only brought a few clothes she had packed last night.
Outside the school gate, Xia Qinghuan and Guan Tao were already waiting when Jian Ai arrived.
“I’ve divided my things into three bags. Each person will carry one so that it’s not too heavy.”
As soon as they met, Xia Qinghuan stuffed a black bag for Jian Ai and Guan Tao each. It was full, but not heavy.
In the school field, luxurious buses stopped side by side. There were twenty to thirty of them. Jian Ai also noticed that there were over ten such buses parked by the road outside the school.
At the front of each bus stood a sign that showed the class. Many students had already gathered in front of the bus according to their class.
“Damn, how generous!”
“A class of two buses?”
As soon as they entered the school, some students could not help but exclaim, while the Year One and Year Three students passed by with surprise and envy on their faces.
“Why didn’t we receive such benefits when we were in Year Two?”
