That day's dinner, at the dinner table, opposite Xia Xian was Chu Zihang's "father". Of course he knew that this was Chu Zihang's stepfather, because the other person had no dragon blood at all. How could he give birth to a child with excellent blood?

son?

Opposite Chu Zihang was his mother, Su Xiaoyan, who had been talking all the time. What made Xia Xian sigh was that she must be in her early forties, already the age of a woman, but even without makeup, she was still famous.

Beauty: She has a delicate oval face, and after applying make-up, she is sure to captivate the entire country. No wonder she is heartless and there are still people who like her wholeheartedly.

"Xiaoxia, you are the first classmate our Zihang brought home." Su Xiaoyan smiled so brightly, as if this was really a very important event worth being happy about.

Aunt Tong's cooking skills are very good. It costs a lot to put a whole table of dishes in an outside restaurant. No wonder she has been able to take care of Su Xiaoyan, who can't cook at all, in such a family for so many years.

Su Xiaoyan kept picking up food for Xia Xian, which made the latter, who was not usually shameless but not easily shy, feel a little embarrassed.

Xia Xian glanced sideways at Chu Zihang, who was eating quietly. He looked completely normal, as if he didn't intend to say anything to ease the slight embarrassment at the dinner table. Of course, as long as he wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

"I heard from Zihang that Xiaoxia, you also went to Shilan Middle School in high school?"

Chu Zihang's stepfather rushed back after receiving a call from Su Xiaoyan. He was still wearing a close-fitting expensive suit. Although he was not young, he was not very fat. His hair was neatly combed. He was indeed a neat and wealthy man.

appearance.

"Yes," Xia Xian replied politely while nibbling on the extremely soft chicken wings, "I have been defeated by him all year round, and I got a lot of second place in the exam."

The stepfather smiled with satisfaction, "And you also went to the same university together. What a fate."

"Fate, fate." Xia Xian also smiled. Otherwise, what can I say? Did I follow him with some intention? Your son is a freak, but I am even more terrifying. I am not a human being?

"Xiao Xia, what does your family do?" The stepfather seemed to have finished eating, although he didn't use his chopsticks at all.

For such a rich man, the number one criterion for family relationships may be that they are well-matched. Although Chu Zihang has no friends because he thinks he is a monster, in fact his stepfather can find countless peers who want to be friends with him.

"What do you want to do? Eat," Su Xiaoyan interrupted him and served Xia Xian another bowl of soup, "Xiaoxian, the most important thing is to eat well. This year, during the Chinese New Year at our house, auntie will cook it for you.

delicious."

Hearing this, Chu Zihang, who was eating quietly, raised his head for the first time, but quickly lowered it again.

"Okay, okay." Xia Xian nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."

"What's the matter!" Su Xiaoyan giggled. A seductive woman's smile is truly a sight to behold. It's a pity that there are only a few girls around Xia Xian, so is Nono one of them? But she rarely smiles happily.

"By the way, Zihang," the stepfather looked at his phone, "If you are free in the past two days, I will send some New Year's goods to your principal and teacher of Shilan Middle School. It will also count as a visit to your alma mater. Your mother and I were there some time ago.

When I met the principal on the street, he was still talking about you."

"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded without any unnecessary nonsense.

Chu Zihang never refutes too many words about "dad". Chu Zihang doesn't know about other families, but for him, the best a stepfather can do is this: after a divorce, "Dad"

"Realizing the importance of family, he circled a fixed weekend day on his schedule to spend with his family. Common programs include shopping, watching movies, a sumptuous dinner, and discussing Chu Zihang's studies after dinner. "Dad" is very strict.

He always follows the schedule, and there is never less than one day of "family time", and never more than one day. Just like whether it rains or shines, he will always appear in the company's large conference room at nine o'clock every Monday morning to have a weekly meeting with senior executives.

meeting.

So even before Chu Zihang decided to attend Kassel College, his stepfather's opinion was to study abroad for undergraduate studies. Chu Zihang didn't have any different opinions and started preparing for the TOEFL exam directly.

"Send me a text message before you go, and I'll ask Lao Shun to drive you two." Stepfather said with a smile.

The driver, Lao Shun, wore a black suit, his neck was thicker than a human head, and his face looked like a bodyguard. Everyone in front of him and behind him called Chu Zihang "Master".

"No, we can just take a taxi." Chu Zihang shook his head.

Xia Xian was eating obediently at the side, occasionally glancing at the conversation between the two father and son. If it were a husband and wife, it would be called "respecting each other as guests", right?

...

The next day Chu Zihang and Xia Xian went to Shilan Middle School.

The reason Chu Zihang gave was that he never wanted to delay the matter that his stepfather mentioned. He didn’t know where he had heard it before. There was a saying for the stepson and stepfather to get along. It should not be too transcendent, but it should also appear natural; it should not be flattering.

, but also to show attention.

In the principal's office, the principal who was over fifty years old was sitting on an office chair with a beer belly. Xia Xian and Chu Zihang were sitting opposite him, just like the returning honorary alumni in the movies talking about how many billions they would donate.

project.

However, the reality is that Chu Zihang brought some liquor and tea that his stepfather gave him, and the principal had already collected them.

"Zihang, your school sent us your scholarship information to Shilan, and also thanked us for providing excellent students." The principal was also smiling, as if everyone who spoke to Chu Zihang would laugh - indeed,

Who would be dissatisfied in front of such an outstanding child?

Chu Zihang and Xia Xian looked at each other.

In reality, Cassel College has done a great job in all aspects, but thanks to this, no one can see its true face. On the surface, it is a fraternity college with the University of Chicago, and it is not the same as the Ivy League.

up and down.

But when it comes to fame, in fact, the reason why the principal gives him face like this is largely because of Chu Zihang, not only his grades, but also his stepfather's identity.

So in fact, the principal couldn't even remember the name of Xia Xian who was following Chu Zihang today.

"Principal, if there is nothing else, we will leave first so as not to delay your work." Chu Zihang stood up.

"Winter vacation is about to begin, and there are indeed many things to do," the principal also stood up to see them off, "but there is our school's Spring Festival Gala tonight, do you want to go on stage and say a few words? I can arrange it, just think of it...

.Excellent seniors’ homecoming speech!”

For those in the upper and lower classes of Shilan Middle School, "Chu Zihang" is a symbol that is always far away in the horizon.

At the most recent Spring Festival gala, he performed a cello solo and finished a piece of Schindler's List in the center of the stage. People in the audience were still immersed in the music and secretly praised that this skill was perfect for the Spring Festival gala. Chu Zihang had already packed it up.

Qin Xiang bowed and left the stage, leaving only his slender back.

But since Chu Zihang graduated, few people have attracted the attention of teachers and students in the school so much. The Spring Festival Gala is much more boring.

"No need." Chu Zihang shook his head, "We still have something to do."

The principal looked regretful, but also expressed understanding, and sent them downstairs in the office building before reluctantly watching them leave.

The two walked around the campus to the playground of Shilan Middle School. Xia Xian suddenly pointed to one of the basketball courts, "Is that where we first met?"

Chu Zihang nodded. His acquaintance with Xia Xian was particularly vivid in his memory. After all, this person who he thought was just a chance encounter at the time actually traveled across the ocean together and lived through life and death together.

At this time, a boy wearing an obviously ill-fitting dress ran past the two of them holding a bunch of props to decorate the party scene.

While running, I used my only free hand to hold my pants that were about to fall down.

Chu Zihang was stunned.

Because he knows this boy.
