Chapter 1 Xia Chen's High-Speed Rail

"Is Xiao Chen taking the 3 PM high-speed rail from Tanxiang to Xiahai?"

After the funeral was more or less finished and all the expenses were settled, it was already 1 PM. So after finishing up, the eldest uncle took the initiative to find Chen Yuan and asked him kindly.

"Yes, that's right. I need to leave now to catch the bullet train from Shaoxiang to Tanxiang." Chen Yuan nodded, feeling that he should say goodbye as well.

"Then I'll give you a ride." The eldest uncle said enthusiastically, about to start the car.

"No, no, you don't need to bother. Don't you have other things to do? It's easy for me to call a car."

Although the funeral was over and the banquet had ended, the eldest uncle and aunt felt that since so many people had helped with the funeral, they should keep the relatives from their side and the close relatives from the wife's family for a while longer. They planned to choose a slightly better restaurant in town for a family dinner.

"It's nothing. Driving over there only takes forty minutes or so, and I'll be right back. Xiao Chen, get in the car."

The eldest uncle was a man of action, not the kind of person who just talked without doing anything. He directly turned the car in front of Chen Yuan.

Catching Chen Yuan off guard.

Damn, he almost ran over my foot.

"...Okay." Xia Xinyu felt that there were still guests at home, so it wasn't good for her to leave like this. But since her aunt had already said so, she didn't hesitate any longer, nodded, walked to Chen Yuan's side, and stood next to him.

Is this boyfriend of hers considered half a Qizong person since he's with one of them?

Let's just question it first.

Chen Yuan shook his head, indicating that he understood.

Of course, it wasn't that he doubted Xu Cai was a woman.

Xu Cai better not push me too far…

"Okay, bye-bye." The gawker waved with a smile.

They weren't one-on-one, so there was nothing to worry about.

From any angle, Chen Yuan was a healthy and sunny young woman with valuable organs.

"Grandpa, I'll be leaving now." Chen Yuan greeted with a respectful smile.

Perhaps because his aunt was an intellectual, she was being reserved.

To go further, you need years of accumulation and a bit of good luck.

It's an act of God; I can't be held responsible.

Some things can be joked about a little.

This was to ensure that the person he dreamed about tonight was the gawker.

A Qizong elder is terrifying indeed?

In the driver's seat, the eldest uncle stroked his chin and couldn't help but reveal an auntie... ah, no, uncle's smile.

He simply doesn't understand; he's forcing my hand.

Why does it look like I'm the one stirring up trouble?

Chen Yuan nodded.

If his uncle wanted to give him money, Chen Yuan definitely couldn't accept it.

But for this kind of thing, you still have to answer sincerely, not carelessly.

Then, use the OK gesture as the enter key to send.

The relatives and neighbors were also smiling for the same reason, including his uncle-in-law, who didn't talk much but was always present and didn't do any work, nodded and smiled at Xu Cai.

"Customs, local customs, haha." The uncle in the car poked his head out of the window and explained with a smile.

At least, she could still have him explain the problems to her tonight.

It's pretty good; the family composition is diverse.

And at this time, the aunt was indeed thinking about something, just as Chen Yuan had guessed—the math competition.

So, what needs to be done now is – before going to bed, don't talk to anyone, absolutely cannot strike up a conversation.

If it were all Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan wouldn't be able to handle it.

After the eldest uncle finished speaking, Xia Caina gently poked Xia Cai, reminding him that he was joking and not to be afraid.

The aunt's education may be a bit worse than others; it's not the number one normal university in the country, but only number eight.

After politely waving goodbye to the crowd, Xu Cai sat in the back seat. Then, Xia Caina followed and sat next to him. Then, the eldest uncle drove, and under the gazes of everyone, the car drove further and further away.

Then, just as he was about to get in the car, Grandpa, who had been sitting on the small wooden bench at the door, walked over.

Or rather, she still had some doubts about the gawker's sentence, "Aunt, I'm a woman."

Although the gawker was an inner sect disciple of Qizong, she couldn't be considered outstanding in terms of qualifications, and was even in the middle-to-upper range of Class Eight. She would have to miss at least two days of classes.

"That's too much trouble..." Chen Yuan really thought so.

"..."

Usually, it would, but his uncle was in the car. How could he say it…?

Tradition requires humiliation.

"It's a pity, come and play again during the New Year." The eldest uncle cordially invited.

"Are you transferring at Tanxiang?"

Good boy, he's doing quite well.

After Chen Yuan answered, he opened the left car door, stood beside the car, but didn't leave directly, instead looking at the gawker, hesitant to speak.

However, understanding that she's a woman doesn't mean that she has to do everything she says, but rather be responsible for her words.

"I hope that our simple values at that time won't be seen by them as outdated and incomprehensible stubbornness."

"Our high school progress is basically already completed, and... my aunt is here." Xia Caina's somewhat resentful reminder made Chen Yuan react.

Amazing, who taught him how to calculate like that?

It's like prose, so unrealistic.

"Yeah, it would be great if she could teach them both when she has time."

His deskmate, Zhou Fu, was a half-step inner sect level with a score of 580. These days, he won't charge her a friend fee; he'll just make up for the day of classes she missed.

Because there was no one else in the car, the gawker leisurely complained about his talkative eldest uncle.

Hey, no, are you…?

"This place can't stop for long, I'll be leaving first, bye-bye." Chen Yuan took the initiative to say to the gawker.

After arriving at the roadside in front of the station where you can stop briefly, the eldest uncle parked the car on the side of the road.

"That's indeed a bit of a pity..."

"Actually, I like him even more than you do."

Grandpa nodded and continued to approach Xu Cai, not saying anything. Then, he suddenly stretched the fist he was holding into Chen Yuan's pocket.

"That's true." Uncle-in-law nodded.

The 2000-person group is full. To create another group, I found out that it costs 198 a year. I really don't want to spend money, so I created a thousand-person group for book lovers with a value of 500. Please join as appropriate.

But with so many years of teaching experience, her difference from those special-grade teachers is actually not that big.

Talking to this point, the eldest uncle thought of it and said with a fearful expression, "Last time, I had your aunt teach my son a lesson. Only he has the thick skin to withstand the scolding. If I were sitting there, my legs would probably cramp up... It's too scary. Is that what the teachers at Qizong are like? They're even scarier than the old guy who used to beat me with a stick when I was studying!"
