"Mr. Chen, can I give you a ride?"
The man in front of him was Wang Juncheng, who sat at the same table as Chen Xi on the day Niannian entered the school.
Perhaps it was because of his age, but Wang Juncheng always gave off a mature and steady vibe.
It was what people often referred to as – manliness.
When this kind of man smiled, even as a man, he could not help but be captivated by his charm and seriously think about every word he said.
This was the charm of a mature man and had nothing to do with gender.
If an analogy was to be made, a mature man was like a bottle of aged wine. The moment the bottle was opened, the fragrance was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Obviously, Wang Juncheng wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Chen Xi.
But unfortunately …
After Chen Xi heard him, he waved his hand and smiled. "No need, my house is nearby. It's faster to take the small road back."
After that, Chen Xi did not even give Wang Juncheng a chance to speak again. He turned around and walked along the sidewalk.
"Brother Wang, who is this guy? Since he's so shameless, why don't I just go and have a chat with him … "
Zhao Zeyu was sitting in the driver's seat. After seeing Chen Xi leave, he suddenly felt like he was insulted. He almost got out of the car to teach Chen Xi a lesson.
"Talk? How? Kidnap him and talk? "
Wang Juncheng coldly interrupted him.
Hearing this, Zhao Zeyu suddenly became like a frosted eggplant and completely withered.
It was not difficult to see that the two of them were not ordinary friends. Instead, it was more like a superior and subordinate relationship.
"Didn't you always say that you have eyes and ears in Beijing? It's been more than a month, how come there is no reliable news at all? "
"Didn't we already investigate to Zhonghai? We even found the household register for you. If you ask me, this guy is just a bumpkin. Brother Wang, why do you care so much about him? "
"How can a bumpkin get a kid into this school?!"
Wang Juncheng casually asked a rhetorical question and directly made Zhao Zeyu speechless.
Actually, thinking about it, it made sense …
Even though it was just a small kindergarten, the water inside was deep.
From the first day the children stepped into this kindergarten, regardless of their future academic performance, they would definitely follow the pre-planned path all the way forward. They would go through childhood, primary, junior, high, and finally plunge into the top schools in the country, such as: Qing, Bei, Ren, Law, and so on.
The only possible fork in the road was the choice between politics and business.
Those in business could choose to study abroad, while those in politics had to stay in the country to further their studies.
This was indeed the case.
While the bumpkins were still warming up at the starting line, others were already drinking champagne and celebrating at the finish line.
However …
This was not to say that society was unfair.
After all, ever since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, whose ancestors were not farmers?
Other people had to go through at least three generations of accumulation before their children and grandchildren could enjoy the wealth they had today …
"Alright, let's leave it at that."
"I just thought that this person wasn't simple, so I wanted to make friends with him …"
"Since she's unwilling, let's put this matter aside for now …"
"Anyway, the child is still young. Let's see how it goes in the future …"
The car with the Beijing A license plate slowly drove away.
At this time, Chen Xi, who had already walked more than a hundred meters away, suddenly turned her head to look at the car. Her face revealed a thoughtful expression.
…
Time passed day by day. It was so peaceful that there was not a trace of ripple.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Today was November 1st.
It was Halloween abroad and Little Singles' Day in China.
The autumn air was refreshing, and the smell of osmanthus was wafting in the air. It was a good time to play.
And from National Day until now, the only good news during this period was —
Gu Yao's soul had finally stabilized and could move freely without the soul crystal.
Although the soul could not speak, it could convey the emotions in her heart through the soul.
Therefore, the moment Chen Xi released her, he sensed the true feelings in Gu Yao's heart.
She was very happy.
Happy from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Gu Yao finally regained a little bit of her humanity.
Although her IQ was still slightly lower than that of ordinary people, at least she was no longer a ferocious ghost who lacked brains …
In addition to this matter, something else happened that made Chen Xi quite depressed.
That was —
Niannian no longer called him PaPa in a coquettish voice!
Thinking about this, Chen Xi's heart immediately gave birth to ten thousand depression.
That was because he always felt that the coquettish 'PaPa' sounded very intimate, but the clear 'Dad' sounded more distant.
Here, he had to mention the little guy's growth experience.
Because Aunt Zhang was from Sichuan, the little guy grew up with her, and inevitably there was a little Sichuan flavor in his accent.
The teachers in the kindergarten were all from Shangjing, so their pronunciation was naturally the most standard Mandarin pronunciation.
For the teachers, a child's inaccurate pronunciation was a big problem.
Therefore, when they were in school, they would always patiently correct the little guy's pronunciation.
As time went by …
Of course, "PaPa" was gone, and then only "Dad" was left.
In this regard, Chen Xi simply had to suffer in silence. There was a feeling of unspeakable bitterness!
Bitter!
Really bitter!
Fortunately, other than this bitter matter, there was nothing else to worry about during this period.
Although Qin Ruoying's cultivation progress was still very slow, Chen Xi was not anxious because of this.
This was because he believed that as long as the Udumbara Flower was refined into a pill, Yingying would definitely be able to use it to step into the Diviner stage.
However …
How precious was the Udumbara Flower?
In the absence of other materials, even he did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, after nearly a month of thinking, Chen Xi finally came up with a more feasible prescription and prepared to officially start refining the pill.
However, at this moment …
However, the Spirit Energy Tide appeared again.
In the blink of an eye, black clouds rolled and covered half the sky.
After a few thunderous rumbles, the heavy rain began to fall.
Chen Xi walked out of the room and frowned. After observing for a while, he realized that the tide this time was not very turbulent.
The center was also rather far from Shangjing.
Seeing this, Chen Xi looked as if he had seen something happy.
After shaking his head with a smile, he turned around and went back into the room. He was prepared to stay by Qin Ruoying's side and study her symptoms.
The reason why Chen Xi did not immediately move to contain the tide was because …
He had reached an agreement with the old man.
Therefore, the moment the spirit energy tide appeared, the entire Daiyu Island was in an uproar.
In just a moment.
Hundreds of Diviners suddenly flew out of the island like birds, flying in flocks toward the center of the tide.
It was as if hundreds of birds were flying through the sky. It was so majestic that it was a rare sight.
