Grumpy Girl
……….
After his afternoon class, Ms. Wang Yuxue called Xie Zhongxing into her office.
As soon as Xie Zhongxing walked into the office door, he felt several teachers looking at him with obvious pity embedded in their eyes.
He tried to brush it off and continued walking. He lowered his eyes until he arrived in front of the key person who called him. “Ms. Wang.”
Wang Yuxue glanced at the others before looking over at Xie Zhongxing. She weighed her tone and as simple as she could, she told Xie Zhongxing what his father asked of her.
When Xie Zhongxing heard this, he was not surprised.
His father is a terrible provider that if he hadn’t joined forces with Ms. Wang Yuxue and lied to his family, then he might not be able to go to high school.
He never expected anything from Xie Guoxu nor the other members of the family. Even now. If he had, then he won’t be able to be where he is today.
“It was very hard for me to refuse because of the limited excuses I can make. I’m afraid they’ll come here and when that happens…” She trailed off.
Xie Zhongxing already knew what Wang Yuxue meant even if she hadn’t even finished her statement yet.
Hiding his situation from his family is like hiding the whole school itself from them for two years. It’s both hard and unreasonable to do so.
Wang Yu said, “You have good grades, and it’s okay to walk to Qingbei. You can talk with your parents, and maybe things will turn around.”
Xie Chongxing shook his head. “It’s no use.”
No matter how good he is, Xie Guoxu and his family will only think of him as a nuisance.
Xie Zian is one year younger than him, but they are of the same class. When they were in primary school, Xie Zian received 70 and 80 on both their tests while he scored two 100s. But even so, he didn’t receive any praise from his parents. What he got was a scolding from his mother, saying that he is unkind and is deliberately poking Xie Zina’s heart for being inferior to him. She degraded Xie Zhongxing and said such heavy words when he was only seven years old at that time.
With that, he understood that he is excellent and smart, and no one in the family would be happy if he continued to excel. So from then on, he tried his best not to pass Xie Zian’s scores and limelight. Xie Zhongxing also deliberately failed his entrance exams to go to the worst township junior high school. But in the ned, he was admitted to Nanyang.
Because of his performance over the years, they had no doubts about his lies.
Wang Yuxue has dealt with Xie Guoxu many times before. And from every time they talk, she learned to see what kind of person Xie Guoxu is. He is only good for deceiving other people and saving his own face. Once he discovers the truth, Xie Zhongxing would still be able to attend school, but she assumes that he will lose his scholarships.
If they continue making trouble, the scene will not look good and it will all backfire on Xie Zhongxing.
There is nothing Wang Yuxue can do except to let the father and son communicate privately.
Xie Zhongxing obviously understood that he could only solve the matter by himself. He said goodbye to Wang Yuxue and returned to the classroom.
Being irritated is obviously burning in his eyes. Xie Zhongxing’s mind was no longer calm and there was a flash of after light that even he didn’t notice for himself.
But Zhong Yiming did, which is why he sat next to him and asked in a lowered voice. “Why did Ms. Wang call you? Is there anything I could do to help?”
Xie Zhongxing suppressed the mood in his eyes and said calmly, “It’s nothing.”
Zhong Yiming peeped at his face and whispered, “Is it really alright?”
Xie Zhongxing said, “It’s alright.”
He doesn’t like to confide his affairs to others.

Zhang Xinyue refined and posted the latest photos on the forum. Her previous posts are getting some attention and recognition. She wanted others to recognize Xie Zhongxing that’s why she kept posting them.
Lz0L: [picture] [picture] Can’t our school organize a selection of the most handsome students? He will surely be the one at the top.
The post quickly garnered replies.
302L: [These pictures are so clear. His face is so fair here. I can’t even see his pores! Which class are you from? I’m going to come and have a look!]
302L: [He is so beautiful! I want to see his face in full view and lick it all over.]
317L: [The owner of this post sent more pictures! GAAAAH. I have to save them all. I‘ll be sure to let my little sister see this as well!]
Zhang XInyue happily withdrew from her post and flipped through the following posts. No one had gotten more interactions than hers. She can’t help but feel more proud because of this. Not to mention the fact that this is the first time she ever received this much attention!
‘I’m so happy!’ She thought to herself.
Meanwhile, in the fifth-ranking school’s dormitory where Xie Zian is currently studying, Jin Rui received a picture from her sister Jin Kui, who is studying in Nanyang. “This is the most handsome student in our school! Do you think the most handsome pupil in your school could beat him?” Jin Kui said triumphantly.
Jin Rui enlarged the photo and looked at it very carefully before she replied, “He is alright.”
Jin Kui: [Just alright?]
Jin Kui: [picture] [picture]
Jin Kui: [Look at the picture carefully before you speak.]
Jin Rui: [Just so-so.]
Jin Kui got angry.
Jin Kui: [Stop bullshitting me, and tell me your honest opinion. Are there no other handsome men for you except your stupid boyfriend?]
Jin Rui: [Are you actually dissing him? Be careful with what you’re saying. I might take some screenshots and send it to mother.]
Jin Kui: [I’ll give you another chance to be honest. Believe in the voice in your heart. There are so many tall and handsome guys in the world, so why do you need to settle with that second-class crippled boyfriend of yours?]
Jin Rui looked at the newly sent picture carefully. “Don’t you think your school’s most handsome student resembles a little bit my boyfriend?’ She asks.
Jin Kui: [Your stupid boyfriend doesn’t even deserve to compete with him.]
Jin Rui: [I told you not to cuss and diss my boyfriend, didn’t I?]
Jin Kui: [I am just telling the truth.]
Jin Rui thought about it for a while before typing in: [Just a little bit. Xie Zian is not as good-looking as he is.]
Jin Kui smiles in triumph: [Then break up with Xie Zian, and I will help you get his number from his little brother.]
But Jin Rui had no time to answer for Xie Zian called her abruptly. She hesitated but answers the call nevertheless.
“Honey, do you have any money on you? Lend me 50 first. “
“…..” Jin Rui was quiet for a while as she tries to find the words to say. “I lent you 300 before and you haven’t returned it to me yet.”
It was enough to make Xie Zian angry. “Do you have to share points with me like this? Are you in love with someone else now? No wonder you’ve been so cold to me lately. Ha. There’s someone out there. I knew it.” He spatted.
Seeing that he was talking more and more outrageously, Jin Rui had to interrupt him: “That’s not what I meant. I’m in the dormitory now. Come here. I’ll go down and give it to you.”
Xie Zian’s tone suddenly changed. “I knew my wife was the best to me. I love you my wifey.”
Jin Rui straightened her clothes with a sigh before she left her room dormitory and head downstairs.
coffee and poetic romances.
