Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 18 Arrival of the Admissions Teacher
He was confident he could surpass Qiao Yu in other aspects, but when it came to looks… Ma Fei felt that unless he got plastic surgery, he would just have to wait for reincarnation.
However, after the post was sent, no one paid any attention to him. The girls were still discussing Qiao Yu.
"Damn it!"
Ma Fei slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him, sending his water glass flying.
"Ma Fei, what's wrong? Does the table owe you money?" Yang Xiangdi asked, puzzled.
Ma Fei glanced at Yang Xiangdi. His presence was even lower than his own, and Ma Fei suddenly felt much better.
Indeed, human happiness is derived from comparison.
Ma Fei was depressed all day, finally making it to the end of school.
Their respective parents were waiting for them at the school gate.
After all, their children had been missing in the Otherworld for several days, and the parents were certainly worried sick.
Watching Zuo You, Zhao Ziyue, and Yang Xiangdi being picked up by their parents, Ma Fei looked back at Qiao Yu, whom he cared about most.
Seeing Qiao Yu's lonely figure leaving, Ma Fei suddenly felt a strange sensation.
"What's wrong, son? Feeling down?"
Ma Benwei's old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"I heard from your teacher that you're a shoo-in for early admission to a top university! You've really brought honor to the Ma family!"
After speaking, Ma Benwei glanced at his son and, noticing the complex expression on Ma Fei's face, he asked again.
"What? Not enough allowance? Dad will give you more! Fifty thousand a month from now on!"
Ma Benwei waved his hand grandly. Fifty thousand was just a drop in the bucket for his vast Ma Corporation.
Ma Fei shook his head.
"Dad, I want to invite my classmate Qiao Yu to our house for dinner."
"Qiao Yu? Sounds like a girl's name, right? Hahahaha! You rascal! You have the style of your old man when he was young!" Ma Benwei was greatly pleased.
"No, Qiao Yu is a guy."
"Huh?"
Ma Benwei immediately became nervous. He asked cautiously,
"A guy… Why do you want to bring a guy home for dinner?"
May the ancestors of the Ma family protect us, please don't let my son have that kind of preference! I'm still waiting to have grandchildren in a few years!
"Well… I was able to successfully pass the novice trial and hidden dungeon thanks to Qiao Yu. And he gave me the B-grade equipment that dropped from the hidden dungeon."
Ma Fei didn't notice his father's nervousness. He materialized the Soul-Piercing Sword from the 3D projection into the real world.
Looking at the Soul-Piercing Sword, his gaze became even more complicated. Even though he was jealous of Qiao Yu, he had to admit it.
Putting himself in Qiao Yu's shoes, he definitely wouldn't have the generosity to give away a B-grade sword.
After all, Qiao Yu did most of the work when fighting the Nightmare King.
The well-informed Ma Benwei immediately narrowed his eyes. He could tell at a glance that the sword was definitely worth a lot.
Probably worth twenty months of his son's allowance.
"Then you really should invite him for dinner!"
Ma Benwei breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't what he thought it might be.
"In that case, I'll let the chef team at the Su City Hotel take a day off and come to our house to prepare a family feast! To properly thank your classmate!"
If this news spread, countless people would be envious.
You must know, Ma Benwei is the richest man in Su City. Anyone who can eat at the Ma family's home feast is a big shot with high status and power.
Family feasts are the highest-level way for these wealthy businessmen to treat guests.
However, the next day, Ma Fei was stuck again.
He scratched his head, his face flushed with anxiety. He couldn't muster the courage to go over and invite Qiao Yu.
Is there any way to get Qiao Yu to take the initiative to eat at his house without having to ask? Online, urgent!
Suddenly, Ma Fei had a flash of inspiration and ran over to Zuo You and said,
"Zuo You, to celebrate the five of us successfully passing the hidden dungeon, I'm going to treat the four of you to a meal. Can you help me invite Qiao Yu and the others?"
"Really?" Zuo You smiled, "Then we won't be polite when eating at your expense. I'll go call them."
Seeing that Zhao Ziyue and Yang Xiangdi agreed readily, Ma Fei couldn't help but admire his own wit.
I, Ma Fei, am a genius!
"No need, you guys can celebrate, I won't bother you." Qiao Yu said.
"No!"
Ma Fei became anxious as soon as he heard that. His main goal was to invite Qiao Yu to dinner.
"Qiao Yu, you have to come! If you don't come, I'll… I'll…"
"You'll what?" Qiao Yu asked, puzzled.
"I'll throw away the Soul-Piercing Sword you gave me!" Ma Fei said stubbornly.
Yang Xiangdi turned his head to look at Qiao Yu, then at Ma Fei.
"Seriously, Ma Fei, why are you acting like an aggrieved little wife? Is that Soul-Piercing Sword your love token?"
Hearing Yang Xiangdi's words, Zuo You's gaze towards Ma Fei suddenly carried a hint of hostility.
"Yang Xiangdi, shut up! It's my dad! My dad said that you four must be invited home for dinner, otherwise, he'll break my legs!"
Ma Fei pretended to be angry.
"If my dad didn't say so, do you think I wanted to?"
"Qiao Yu, since Ma Fei has already said so, let's just go and eat the landlord's surplus grain." Yang Xiangdi persuaded.
How could he not go when there was good food to eat? That didn't fit with Yang Xiangdi's life principles.
"Okay, then let's go." Qiao Yu nodded.
"Great! Then I'll have my dad pick us up tonight!" Ma Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Qiao Yu agreed.
At this moment, Xue Jinlong walked in with an excited look on his face.
"Ma Fei, Qiao Yu, Zuo You, Zhao Ziyue, Yang Xiangdi!"
"Get ready! The admissions teachers from the top universities are coming!"
The admissions teachers are coming? The students in the class perked up as soon as they heard that. This was a famous scene of witnessing the birth of five special recruits!
Moreover, these five special recruits were their classmates. This was as exciting as witnessing their classmates debut and become stars.
Outside the gate of the Fourth High School, one black car after another stopped.
Admissions teachers came down from the cars one after another. They were all representatives of major prestigious schools.
Principal Hong greeted these people with a smile. The two people at the head were none other than the admissions teachers from Kyoto University and Huaqing University.
These two universities were undoubtedly the top in Dragon Country. The two universities often fought fiercely for the title of number one.
"Principal Hong, long time no see!" Peng Liangji, the admissions teacher from Kyoto University, greeted Principal Hong with a smile.
Seeing this, Pei Xingguo from Huaqing University immediately stepped forward and extended his hand, "Long time no see, Principal Hong!"
Peng Liangji glared at Pei Xingguo, and Pei Xingguo immediately glared back. A strong smell of gunpowder spread out.
"Teacher Peng, Teacher Pei, long time no see, hahahaha!"
Principal Hong cursed in his heart whether these two people were sick, while smiling and extending both hands to shake hands with the two.
"Principal Hong, where are the five genius students from your school? Take us to see them!"
