Young Master Xu: "I..."

This is the scene of Bai Cai MM and Xu Ershao's historic first meeting.

"Alright, alright, stop fighting." Chen Xiao suppressed a laugh and looked at Bai Cai: "Don't make him angry either. He was the one who helped us sort things out yesterday, otherwise those guys would have been causing you trouble again today."

"I know," said Cabbage Girl with a smile.

"You know? You know and you still say things like that?" Young Master Xu rolled his eyes. "Don't you even know how to spell 'grateful'?"

Bai Cai snorted and slowly said, "First, it was Chen Xiao who helped me yesterday. And the reason you helped me resolve this matter later wasn't because you were helping me, but because of Chen Xiao's influence. So, I owe Chen Xiao a favor, not you. You need to understand that. As for the second point, you're the kind of person who starts by making suggestive remarks about girls. I hate guys like you the most."

After a pause, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Cabbage Girl's eyes: "Finally... I hate it when people call me Cabbage! Remember that, otherwise, you'd better keep a bottle of nitroglycerin pills in your pocket before you run into me in the future."

Young Master Xu stared wide-eyed at Bai Cai for a moment, then finally sighed, "What a pity. Such a pretty and quiet girl, yet she has such a sharp tongue. Humph, I won't hold it against you."

“Exactly.” Cabbage Girl suddenly smiled: “An ancient saying goes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive!”

"Huh? Which ancient person said such a thing?" Not only Xu Ershao, but even Chen Xiao became curious.

"Jin Yong." Bai Cai smiled smugly, puffing out her already well-developed chest.

Young Master Xu blinked: "Jin Yong... he's not from ancient times, is he?"

"That was in the last century, isn't that ancient?!" Cabbage Girl waved her hand generously.

"Nonsense!" Young Master Xu said dismissively. He and Cabbage Girl seemed to be incompatible, and they were already acting like fighting cocks as soon as they met. "Little vixen, I didn't expect you to have read Jin Yong's books."

"...No, I've only watched TV dramas," Cabbage Girl answered honestly.

"Hmph, uncultured little girl." Young Master Xu puffed out his chest: "Do you know that the first time the titles of Jin Yong's fourteen books were strung together, they could form a poem: 'Flying Snow Shoots the White Deer, Smiling Proud Wanderer Leans on the Jade Couple'?"

"So what if I don't know?" Cabbage Girl glanced at Xu Ershao with disdain: "But do you know that the first character of the title of all the novels by another world-famous author can be strung together to form a line of poetry?"

"Oh? Who?"

"Hahahahaha!" Bai Cai laughed seven times, looking at Xu Ershao with a calm and collected expression: "JK Rowling."

Xu Ershao practically fled in panic, pulling Chen Xiao into the car before speeding away.

He seemed to vent all his frustration on the accelerator while driving, and the dashboard readings skyrocketed, causing Chen Xiao to frantically fasten her seatbelt as soon as she got in the car.

Xu Ershao didn't say a word the whole way, driving silently. The Volvo sped along, quickly taking Chen Xiao to the address of the house where he was to be tutored that night.

At the intersection of the community, Chen Xiao greeted Xu Ershao and got out of the car. But just as he was about to leave, Xu Ershao suddenly rolled down the car window. His expression was a little strange and unusual, and his voice was very low.

"Hey, Chen Xiao, I have a question for you. Answer me honestly."

"What?" Chen Xiao adjusted his shoulder bag.

"Um, that... cabbage." Young Master Xu seemed a little hesitant: "You, you really have no feelings for her?"

Looking at Xu Ershao's somewhat serious expression, Chen Xiao couldn't help but worry: "She only said a few sarcastic things to you, you don't really want to take revenge on such a weak woman, do you?"

"No." Young Master Xu shook his head, but surprisingly, he didn't laugh. Instead, he looked serious, though his cheeks were slightly flushed. "I know I find this girl quite interesting. I've never met a girl like her before... You really don't have feelings for her..."

His voice trailed off, then he suddenly shook his head: "Damn it, I'm not saying anything more! I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he closed the car window, made a sharp U-turn on the spot, and sped off like a madman.

Chen Xiao stood there, watching Xu Ershao walk away, thinking about the last words he wanted to say but didn't, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and amused.

Huh? Could it be that Second Young Master Xu has a thing for cabbage...?

Damn, is our Kid Academy really going to turn into a knock-off version of the Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si story...?

As I entered the community and arrived at the door of the house where I was tutoring, a scream suddenly rang out from in front of the garage…

Chen Xiao saw the elegant lady of the house where he worked being shoved hard by a man, falling to the ground with a cry of pain. The man was wearing a suit, but his hair was somewhat disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and a strong smell of alcohol could be smelled from afar.

The woman was pushed to the ground, her knees scraping against the paving stones and drawing blood. Tears streamed down her face as she glared at the man with grief and indignation.

"You stupid woman!!" the man roared, his words slurred with drunkenness: "If I don't go out for social events, if I don't drink, where will I make a living, how will I do business! If I don't do business, how will I support you! The house, the car, the clothes, every single one of them was bought with my money!! All you do is cry! All you do all day is cry, cry, cry, cry!! When will this fucking end!! Are you cursing, cursing, cursing me to die!!"

As he spoke, he used the electric remote control to open the garage door with his backhand and stumbled inside.

"What kind of business are you doing! What kind of socializing?!" The woman tried to rush forward to stop her: "You're just going out drinking, gambling, and womanizing with them again!!! Don't you know we don't have much money left in the house! If this continues, you'll ruin this family's finances!!"

"Get out of here!" The man's face flushed red, and he slapped the woman across the face, leaving several bright red finger marks on her once beautiful cheek. The man turned and rushed into his car, immediately starting it, the engine roaring to life.

The woman panicked and rushed forward, spreading her arms to block the garage exit: "I'd rather die than let you go!!"

"Get out of my way! Don't, don't block my path!" the man threatened sharply.

The woman remained unmoved, opening her arms, but suddenly knelt down with a thud, crying and pleading, "Husband, I beg you, please, please get down..."

The man, fueled by alcohol and rage, had lost his mind. His drunken eyes blazed with fury and a hint of madness as he suddenly yelled, "Fine! You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

After he finished speaking, the engine suddenly roared to life...

not good!

Chen Xiao had been standing not far away, guessing that the husband and wife who owned the house must be having a fight. As an outsider, it didn't seem appropriate for him to intervene. But then he saw that the man's voice sounded somewhat out of control...

Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Xiao watched as the car sped out as if possessed, while the female director seemed stunned, staring desperately at the approaching vehicle, as if she couldn't believe her husband would do such a thing. She simply knelt there, her face filled with helplessness and despair… Seeing this, Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily let out a loud shout, as if some kind of power suddenly surged within him!

It was already dusk, and there was no one else around. If anyone had witnessed what happened in that instant, they would have been utterly astonished!

In that instant, Chen Xiao's figure seemed to leap up violently! It was as if something had slammed into him from behind! He was originally seven or eight meters away from the woman, but in just a moment he was right in front of her!
