Linda walked with Xia Chen to the front of Xia’s family shop before stopping.
“Hey? It seems Zhou En is not helping in the shop today.” Linda peered into the shop curiously.
Inside, there were only three new employees, and Xia Hai and his wife were not present.
“I heard Zhou En had to rush back to school today to help a professor with a project proposal,” Xia Chen shared what he knew.
“Why didn’t she tell me?” Linda pouted, dissatisfied.
“Probably she didn’t have time,” Xia Chen said helplessly. “I only heard about it last night when Xia Wan and Zhou En were on the phone.”
“You were planning to go to the teahouse, right? Let’s go there ourselves,” Xia Chen continued towards the teahouse.
After a few days of interaction, he had gotten used to Linda’s boisterous nature.
She always acted on whims and liked to be in lively gatherings.
Initially, Xia Chen thought this girl, who had returned from abroad, would be cool and aloof.
Now, he even wondered if Linda had several different personalities living inside her!
Although he thought this, Linda was still his teacher, and he maintained the necessary respect.
Arriving at the teahouse with Linda, Xia Chen chose a seat inside and invited Linda to sit.
After ordering Linda’s eagerly anticipated snacks, Xia Chen also ordered a pot of the teahouse’s classic white tea.
Just as their tea and snacks were served, a commotion arose outside. “Yo, look who it is! Our class’s top student, Xia Chen!”
Zhuang Peng’s voice was loud, ensuring everyone around could hear.
“Top student? What top student?” the boy with a straw in his mouth questioned.
“Of course, top in everything!” Zhuang Peng hummed. “First in studies, and obviously, first in charming girls too!”
Xia Chen’s expression changed, “Zhuang Peng, what do you want?”
Zhuang Peng smiled sinisterly, “What? You’re here flirting in public and afraid of us seeing it?
“I see you’re quite bold and open about it!
“Why not bring your little girlfriend to school tomorrow and introduce her to everyone?”
Saying this, Zhuang Peng pushed through the crowd to Xia Chen’s table.
“Yo, this beautiful lady looks familiar!”
“Where have I seen her before?”
Zhuang Peng pretended to think hard.
The boy with the backpack strap around his head exclaimed, “Isn’t this the woman who was seen in private places with Xia Chen…”
He left his sentence unfinished, expressing his malice with a sinister smile.
Linda, shocked by these kids’ foul language, was about to slam the table and scold them.
Xia Chen immediately grabbed Linda’s wrist, “Don’t be impulsive!”
Linda, unaccustomed to such treatment, angrily asked Zhuang Peng and the others, “How can you slander others like this!”
“Accusing others without knowing the truth, I can sue you for defamation!”
“Look, they speak the same!” Zhuang Peng placed his backpack on the chair next to Xia Chen and pointed at Xia Chen and Linda, “What’s this called? This is called ‘like husband, like wife’… Birds of a feather!”
Linda, with her eyes wide in anger, asked, “Is this how your school teaches you?”
“Young and not learning good things! Bringing shame to your school in public!”
“What business is our school to you!” Zhuang Peng hummed indifferently, “Our lousy school doesn’t care what we do outside!”
Hearing this, Linda’s face showed even more anger, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll make sure you experience the grandeur of your school tomorrow!”
Zhuang Peng and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Beautiful lady, don’t scare us here!” Zhuang Peng said, reaching out to put his hand on Linda’s shoulder.
“We may be young, but we’re not foolish!”
“If you can really do what you say, I’ll Imeel and call you grandma! How about that?”
Zhuang Peng’s words immediately brought cheers and applause from the surrounding boys..
