Chapter 52 The Joy of Not Having to Do Homework
This time.
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei's standing in the vice principal's eyes has been elevated several levels.
This is no longer the work of a genius.
This is a treasure!
It's a precious gift from heaven to Poyang Street Primary School!
With the English proficiency of these two children, they can also alleviate the teaching pressure on the school's English teachers to some extent.
For example, they could be assigned to lower-grade classes as teaching assistants or something.
This is like a windfall.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The vice principal said "good" three times.
He made the decision on the spot.
"Chen Lang, I've approved your request!"
"From now on, you two can read whatever books you want in class."
"As long as you don't disturb other students' studies, you are free to move around."
"I will report the matter of skipping a grade to the principal immediately and guarantee you a result within a week!"
It was already getting late when I came out of the office.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the campus in a warm golden light.
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei, carrying their schoolbags, strolled slowly toward the school gate.
Both of them were in a good mood.
Liu Yifei, in particular, felt her steps become lighter at the thought of not having to do homework anymore.
She was humming "Where is Spring?"
As Chen Lang approached the school gate, he saw a familiar figure.
It was his classmate Che Yue, who was quite skilled.
She stood quietly by the stone pillar at the school gate, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing the two of them walk over, Che Yue smiled and waved.
"Chen Lang, Liu Yifei."
"You're not home yet?"
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei walked over.
"Yes, I'm waiting for my dad to pick me up."
Che Yue looked at Chen Lang, her smile never fading.
"Chen Lang, what snacks do you want to eat tomorrow?"
"I have plenty at home, I'll bring them for you."
This quiet girl clearly had a good impression of her new deskmate.
She is good-looking, can sing, and can play the piano.
These qualities are attractive enough for a seven-year-old girl.
In the classroom, Chen Lang took all the cookies away.
This behavior, which was somewhat rogue and domineering, felt particularly novel to her, a girl who had been raised to be a well-behaved girl since childhood.
He's handsome and cool.
Hmm, it would be even more perfect if the hair was blonde.
Liu Yifei stood to the side, watching the two of them talk, her little mouth unconsciously pouting again.
However, she was in a good mood today.
After all, he was a new classmate I had just met, and I had even eaten some of his snacks.
Chen Lang smiled politely at Che Yue.
"No need, thank you."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Yifei to the school store next door.
He took out a few small bills from his pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Boss, two packs of Mimi, a bottle of soda, and... that popping candy."
Inside the glass display case of the convenience store, there were rows of colorful snacks.
Popping candy is the kind that comes in a small plastic cylinder.
It also comes with a mini plastic spoon.
Chen Lang, holding the snacks he had bought, walked back to Che Yue's side.
He handed her the small cylinder containing the popping candy.
"Please have this."
Che Yue accepted it with some surprise.
She had never seen this kind of snack before.
Curious, she opened the lid, scooped out a little with a small spoon, and put it in her mouth.
The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.
A series of crackling explosions came from his mouth.
The feeling was numb, itchy, and a little scary.
She instinctively tried to spit out the candy.
"Don't open your mouth!"
Liu Yifei promptly offered a reminder from the side.
"It's more fun to eat it with your lips pursed."
Che Yue obediently shut her mouth.
She savored the wonderful sensation, the feeling of it dancing on her tongue.
The initial shock quickly turned into novelty and fun.
A look of surprise appeared on her little face.
"How was it? Wasn't it fun?"
Liu Yifei smiled with her eyes crinkling.
"Mmm, this is so interesting."
Che Yue also smiled.
Just then, a black Santana slowly pulled up in front of the school.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a white shirt got out of the car and called out in Che Yue's direction.
"Yueyue."
"dad!"
When Che Yue saw him, she ran over happily.
She waved goodbye to Chen Lang and Liu Yifei.
"I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."
Chen Lang looked at the black Santana, then at the middle-aged man's face.
I feel like I've seen him before.
The car had a white license plate that clearly belonged to a government agency, and it also had the uncommon surname "Che" (车).
A name suddenly popped into his mind.
Che Yangao.
That's the internet celebrity dad who, because he thought Liu Yifei danced well, abandoned his own daughter to film other people's dances.
He's still sitting in a Santana, not the more luxurious Audi 100.
It seems that his position had not yet risen to the higher level he later attained.
Chen Lang felt a slight sense of awe at meeting a legendary figure.
But when he turned around and saw his wife's pretty face, he felt relieved.
Inside the Santana.
While tidying up Che Yue's hair, Che Yangao asked his daughter a question.
"Yueyue, Daddy's been busy and is late today."
"How was your day at school?"
"fine."
Che Yue was still tightly clutching the can of popping candy in her hand.
"I met a new deskmate, his name is Chen Lang."
"He's amazing. He can sing, compose music, and play the piano."
When Chen Lang was mentioned, the little girl's face lit up.
Che Yangao turned his head and glanced at his daughter's expression.
His eyes flickered slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"It seems you're getting along quite well with your new classmate."
"I need to get along better with my classmates in the future."
"Um!"
Che Yue nodded vigorously.
She scooped up another spoonful of popping candy and put it in her mouth.
Savoring that wonderful taste, I happily squinted my eyes.
When Chen Lang and Liu Yifei returned home, the sun had already set.
Liu Yifei tossed her backpack aside, cheered, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.
Who understands the joy of not having to do homework!
Not long after, Liu Xiaoli returned as well.
She seemed to be in a good mood, and as soon as she entered the room, she sat between the two children, holding them on either side.
At dinner time, the family gathered around the table.
Chen Lang recounted the events that had occurred at school that day to Liu Xiaoli.
He omitted the details of how he persuaded the school leaders.
They only mentioned that the school agreed to let them skip a grade and exempt them from homework.
Liu Yifei, in a boisterous and loud manner, began to dutifully play the straight man.
She quoted Chen Lang's words: "Mom works hard, and I need to take care of my sister and study with her."
He spoke vividly and with a smug look on his face.
Grandma and Grandpa were overjoyed when they heard this.
He kept piling food into Chen Lang's bowl.
