Chapter 572 [Extra: Chanxi] (3) Xixi is the best
Li Luo and Ying Chanxi are in junior high school.

They were destined to be in the same class, Class 5, Grade 7.

Although Ying Chanxi had good grades in elementary school, because Ying Zhicheng never enrolled her in any tutoring classes, her results in the exams when she applied for the entrance exam were not outstanding, and she was not selected into the key class by the school.

Of course, Ying Chanxi didn't care about this. She wished to be in the same class with Li Luo.

When choosing seats at the beginning of the school year, she pulled Li Luo to sit together and they became deskmates.

Originally, Li Luo wanted to invite Zhao Rongjun, who also had a good relationship with him, to sit at the same table with him, but after Ying Chanxi gave him a look, Zhao Rongjun obediently gave up his seat.

"Why do you have to sit next to me?" Li Luo asked speechlessly.

"If you let Zhao Rongjun sit here, you will definitely whisper to him during class, which will affect your studies." Ying Chanxi raised her small, white chin and said, "I promised Aunt Lin that I would supervise your studies."

"Tsk."

Since Ying Chanxi brought up the great Buddha figure of Lin Xiuhong, Li Luo had no way to refute it.

After all, if this guy complained to his mother, and Lin Xiuhong was unhappy and withheld his pocket money, where could he go to seek justice?
"I don't know who she is. When we were little, she said she wanted to be my wife, but in the end she didn't listen to me." Li Luo pouted and muttered softly.

When Ying Chanxi heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she quickly covered Li Luo's stinky mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! What you said when you were a child doesn't count!"

"Ugh! Wuuwuwu!" Li Luo slapped Ying Chanxi's little hand away and made two "Puh, Puh" sounds. "Next time Uncle Ying comes back, I'll go complain to him, too."

"Humph! Go ahead and sue me. I'll see what you have to sue for."

The two of them were arguing loudly in their seats, and the happy junior high school life began like this.

However, their junior high school life thereafter was probably not as good as they had wished.

Maybe it was because he suddenly got it, or maybe it was simply due to Ying Chanxi's talent and hard work.

In just half a semester, Ying Chanxi won the first place in the grade in the school's mid-term exam, surpassing all the students in key classes.

At first, the teachers thought it was just a coincidence. After all, junior high school knowledge is very simple, and the content of the midterm exam is relatively small. It is normal for students in parallel classes to perform exceptionally well occasionally.

But in the days that followed, no one else could lay claim to the top spot in the grade.

Then the teachers realized that this girl named Ying Chanxi seemed a little too powerful.

Therefore, on the eve of the summer vacation of the first grade of junior high school, Ying Chanxi received a notice from her homeroom teacher, Zhang Wei, who handed her a notice and asked her to pass it on to her parents.

……

"Xixi is really amazing. She is the top student in the grade again."

After returning to Jincheng Community, Ying Chanxi, carrying his schoolbag, walked into the Li family's gate with Li Luo. He put the schoolbag on the sofa very familiarly and went into the kitchen to help Lin Xiuhong.

Lin Xiuhong asked about Ying Chanxi's final grades. After getting Ying Chanxi's answer, she smiled happily and touched Ying Chanxi's head to show encouragement.

Ying Chanxi pursed his lips very helpfully and remained modest so as not to let the corners of his mouth curl up.

But being praised by Lin Xiuhong still made her particularly happy.

For Ying Chanxi, the purpose of studying hard, besides wanting to reassure his father, is probably to gain recognition from Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong.

However, after Lin Xiuhong finished praising Ying Chanxi, her eyes fell on Li Luo, the boy who was peeking furtively at the kitchen door.

Seeing this guy dare to reach out and secretly stuff the freshly made cola chicken wings into his mouth, Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and slapped this brat on the forehead: "Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat, how many points did you get in the final exam?"

"Ahem..." Li Luo was caught in the act, but he still chewed the chicken wing in his mouth a few more times, then gave Lin Xiuhong a thumbs up.

"Did you do well in the exam?" Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows as she looked at her son's thumbs up, feeling a sense of anticipation in her heart.

"Mom, the chicken wings you made are so delicious!" Li Luo raised his thumb and praised loudly.

Lin Xiuhong: “…”

A few minutes later, when Lin Xiuhong learned that Li Luo had ranked in the bottom ten in the class and his total score was more than 100 points less than Ying Chanxi, she was immediately furious.

At the dinner table, she couldn't help but teach him earnestly, "Look at Xixi, she goes to school with you, how come she can get the first place in the grade? You only have this little score? Didn't you study hard in school?"

"Your father and I don't have high expectations. At least try your best to get a mid-level position, right?"

"Xixi will go to the best high school in our district. If your grades stay like this, you won't be able to go to high school with Xixi."

When Li Luo first heard similar words, he felt ashamed and uneasy, and thought he should work harder.

But after it happened so many times, he now just felt a little irritated, with constant chattering in his ears and he couldn't eat well.

"Oh, I'm so annoyed. I know. I've said it so many times. You don't mind it. I'm tired of listening to it."

"Why don't you check whether you have changed?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes. "If you were half as obedient as Xixi, I wouldn't be so worried about your grades."

"Then you can let Xixi be your daughter, and I will be Uncle Ying's son." Li Luo pouted and said, "Look, Uncle Ying never cares about Ying Chanxi. Why don't you learn from Uncle Ying?"

"Your uncle Ying doesn't care?" Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows and glared at him, "He's just too busy with work. At least your father and I can still watch over you. You have to cherish it, don't you understand?"

"Besides, you want to be your uncle Ying's son, but he doesn't look down on you."

"Xixi is so well behaved, unlike you who are always disobedient."

"I'm full." Li Luo finished the rice in the bowl and put it on the table. He stood up and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door.

Ying Chanxi finished his meal quietly, then stood up and helped Lin Xiuhong clean up the table.

Then she left the kitchen, knocked on Li Luo's door, turned the doorknob, but the door was locked.

"What?" Li Luo's voice came from inside.

"Are you doing your homework?" Ying Chanxi asked, "I'll go to your room and do it together."

"No! Go back and write it yourself. I'm going to play basketball with Zhao Rongjun tonight!"

Ying Chanxi stood at the door in silence for a moment, then said "oh", put on his backpack, said hello to Lin Xiuhong, and turned back to the next room.

After finishing his summer homework, taking a shower, washing clothes, and cleaning up in the evening, Ying Chanxi changed into a set of panda pajamas and went to bed.

He folded the blanket into a small piece and placed it next to the pillow, then brought the panda doll to his side. Ying Chanxi lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and then lightly punched the panda.

"It's so annoying." Ying Chanxi muttered softly.

……

For Li Luo, summer vacation is one of the few happy times in his student days.

Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, then go downstairs to my parents' breakfast shop to have lunch, and then go to find Zhao Rongjun with a basketball.

After sweating on the basketball court in the afternoon and having dinner at home, I sneaked over to Ying Chanxi's house to play computer games.

For Li Luo, although Ying Chanxi is a bit annoying now and is always used by his mother to pressure him, he can still be useful sometimes.

At least if I tell Lin Xiuhong that I'm going to Ying Chanxi's house to study together, I'm sure she won't stop me.

Then he could go next door to play games under Ying Chanxi's cover.

However, Ying Chanxi doesn't always get what he wants.

"Li Luo, someone is looking for you." On the basketball court, someone who was resting on the edge shouted to Li Luo.

Everyone looked outside the venue and saw a fairy-like girl standing there gracefully, looking in the direction of Li Luo with a calm expression.

Many boys' eyes were fixed on Ying Chanxi and they couldn't move away.

Only Li Luo waved his hand indifferently and glanced at the time: "It's still early, keep fighting, ignore her."

"Who is she?" Someone nearby poked Zhao Rongjun's arm and asked in a low voice, "Who is Li Luo's girlfriend?"

Zhao Rongjun shook his head repeatedly: "A classmate who lives opposite Li Luo's house."

"Oh~ Childhood sweetheart?!"

"That's it."

While people were whispering here, Li Luo had already started the attack and made a beautiful three-step layup - but the ball didn't go in.

Li Luo clicked his tongue and glanced at Ying Chanxi on the sidelines with a bit of dissatisfaction.

It's all this guy's fault. Standing over there, he couldn't perform well.

But at this moment, Ying Chanxi moved, crossed the court and walked to Li Luo.

Seeing this, the others immediately stopped what they were doing.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo looked at her with a frown, holding a basketball in his hand.

"Come home with me." Ying Chanxi reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"I'm only halfway through the fight. It's only three o'clock now." Li Luo shook off Ying Chanxi's hand in dissatisfaction. "You're my mother, and you control me like this?"

"Auntie Lin looked at your summer homework today." Ying Chanxi frowned and reminded in a low voice, "Why didn't you write a single word? Auntie Lin asked me to go home to find you."

Hearing this, Li Luo's face suddenly changed.

"What the hell? Why is she suddenly going through my things?"

"It seems that I looked through it while cleaning your room." Ying Chanxi said, "You told me before that you were doing your homework, so I let you play on the computer at night, but you lied to me."

"How can you play computer without lying?"

"You deserve it." Ying Chanxi glared at him, "It's all your fault. Aunt Lin thought I was protecting you."

"You are an accomplice in the first place." Li Luo suddenly smiled ingratiatingly, pressed Ying Chanxi's shoulders and walked out of the court, turning his head and shouting, "I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving first, you guys fight!"

After saying that, Li Luo lowered her head and begged for mercy: "Auntie, please be kind and say something nice to me later, okay? I'll buy you some snacks."

"Who cares?" Ying Chanxi snorted, but Li Luo's pleading made her happy again, and the corners of her mouth curled up secretly, "Why don't you just admit your mistake obediently?"

"Then you have to come back with me." Li Luo compromised, "If you're here, my mom won't feel comfortable beating me."

"beg me."

"please."

“It doesn’t sound sincere.”

"Xixi~You are the best~"

"Oh my, you're so disgusting!"

The two of them walked all the way back home. Ying Chanxi first took Li Luo to his home, washed his dirty hands, and then washed his face with cold water.

"You've made my clothes dirty." Ying Chanxi looked at the black handprint on his shoulder and said unhappily.

"Just wash it." After washing his hands and face, Li Luo pulled Ying Chanxi towards his home, "Come on, come with me."

"I really can't do anything about you." Ying Chanxi said the words reluctantly, but without any hesitation, he followed Li Luo to the opposite door.

Li Luo took out the key and opened the door, and saw Lin Xiuhong sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.

Seeing Li Luo and Ying Chanxi coming back, Lin Xiuhong immediately stood up, walked to the door, and pulled Ying Chanxi out.

"Xixi, go back first and come back for dinner."

After saying that, Lin Xiuhong walked back home and slammed the door.

"Wait a minute!" Li Luo got anxious when he saw this. "Is there anything you can't say in front of Ying Chanxi? How rude it would be to chase him away?"

"Are you starting to be polite now? Stop right there!"

"Xixi, help!"

……

"ACDDC, BDBAC."

"Slow down, it's too fast."

"You might as well copy it yourself."

"I'm not copying." Li Luo said seriously, "It's just that you were checking the homework, and I was doing it seriously, understand?"

"You are deceiving yourself, aren't you?" Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him. "I asked you to do your summer homework well, but you refused. Now you have to make up for it with great difficulty, right?"

"Well, I'm happy anyway." Li Luo said, "The last week is just to pay off my debt, so let's keep going."

"The next part is fill-in-the-blank questions." Ying Chanxi reported the answers he had written to Li Luo one by one, and then they came to the big math questions.

"Don't give me the steps for the big questions." Li Luo twirled his pen and then said, "Just give me the answer."

"You won't get any points if you just write down the answer."

"Mr. Zhang will seriously correct summer homework?" Li Luo laughed, "I haven't seen any winter homework handed in since the last time."

"That's too perfunctory." Ying Chanxi said, "Summer homework is to keep up the feeling of doing questions."

“I just want to keep my dribbling touch.”

"Auntie Lin still hit me too lightly."

"How dare you say that?" Li Luo said angrily, "I told you to stay over there and watch over me, but you actually abandoned me like that!"

"Aunt Lin pulled me out. What can I do?"

"Don't make excuses. I'm disappointed in you."

"Then write it yourself." Ying Chanxi began to collect the homework on the desk with an expressionless face, as if he was about to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Li Luo quickly pulled Ying Chanxi's arm and said with a smile, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Xixi~ calm down, it's all my fault!"

"Help me hang up the washed clothes on the balcony later."

"No problem! Keep it on me!"
