Gu Si didn't need to be polite. He laughed so hard that he almost rolled over in the back seat until he felt something in his arm, and then he forced himself to stop laughing and turned his head to look.

It turned out to be the lunchbox Teacher Tang had given him.

Gu Si quickly picked it up, opened the lid, and passed both hands in front of Ming Xue Mo, "Big Sister Xue Mei, have you eaten yet? I brought fried dumplings with me, would you like to try some?"

Ming Xue Mo glanced at the golden yellow dumpling, which was emitting a tempting fragrance and had a pretty good appearance. With a serious expression, she asked, "Do you want to bribe the teachers in your first class?"

"…" A string of ellipses floated over Gu Si's head as he silently stuffed the fried dumplings into his mouth one by one.

Ming Xue Mo looked at him coldly as he devoured the half box of dumplings in five minutes, her expression unchanging. One of her many diets is that she never eats dumplings, because in traditional Chinese culture, dumplings symbolize reunion … For a family like hers, which was mostly separated, she felt that eating dumplings was a form of irony.

Gu Si had originally been a little stunned by Momo's righteous words, but when he caught a glimpse of her school uniform that seemed to be wrapped in a red flag, his mood instantly turned as blissful as a blooming spring flower.

Well, one day, he would download a photo of Xi Hui Junior High's uniform from the internet. When he was unhappy, he would take a look and it would make him feel better.

It was already past seven when he returned to the Gu family estate.

The long corridor was lit with yellow lamps, the lush foliage casting mottled silhouettes in the light. The colorful lights in the fountain were turned on, and the spray of water sparkled brilliantly in the light.

However, these mama Ming Xue only gave a slight glance and did not leave any traces behind.

Looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky, she took out her cell phone, checked the time and said, "It's almost 8 PM now. In the future, come and pick me up at my school gate early according to the time I finish classes. Also, we'll set the time for Saturday's classes to be between 6: 30 and 8: 30."

"No problem." Gu Si agreed without hesitation. After all, time wasn't the main point.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over to open the door for Gu Si and Ming Xue Mo.

Gu Si brought Ming Xue and Jasmine to the main hall. Teacher Tang was sitting on the sofa, arranging flowers. When he saw them return, he put the flowers down, but she still held the scissors in her hand. She smiled amiably as she glanced at the highly recognizable emblem on Ming Xue Mo's uniform. Then she asked knowingly, "Gu Si, is this your home tutor teacher?"

"Yes." Gu Si nodded obediently. Teacher Tang was not in a good mood, so he couldn't be rash. Although he didn't know what had made her unhappy, Dad had told her that when Grandma had a straight face, you could act coquettishly with her and even cry and lose your temper, but when she smiled at you, you had to be careful, and the more gentle she smiled, the more dangerous you would be.

He stood properly and introduced: "This is Sister Xue Mei."

Teacher Tang had a smile on her face as she greeted her with a kind face, "Hello, Teacher!"

Following that, she gave Gu Si an indifferent glance and corrected him, "A teacher is a teacher. How can you call me big sister? I don't have a shred of an inferiority complex."

When Gu Si saw that she was starting to blame him, he dared to voice out his opinion. "Teacher sounds too serious, and it affects the mood and efficiency of your studies." In order to prevent Teacher Tang from scolding him again on such a trivial matter, he quickly introduced his to Mingxue, "Big Sister Xue Mei, this is my grandmother."

Mingxue slightly nodded towards Teacher Tang in a polite manner, but her tone sounded very distant, "Greetings, Auntie."

A bright light flashed in Teacher Tang's eyes as she nodded at her. "Hello." Then she waved at them both. "Go on, go on and learn."

Gu Si and Ming Xue Mo headed towards his room together.

After they entered the room and were sure that they wouldn't hear anything from the living room, Teacher Tang picked up the flowers on the tea table again. With a gentle voice, she said to the bodyguard behind her, "Investigate this girl."

"Yes sir!"

Teacher Tang was in a tranquil mood as she pruned the flower leaves until she finished a beautiful flower arrangement work. Then, she stood up and walked towards a small room that she rarely went to.

"Sister Xue Mei, please sit for a moment." Gu Si first moved a chair for Mumei, then ran over to clean up his desk. On it was a jigsaw puzzle with a small corner just put up, as well as chess, brushes, and other things in a mess.

Ming Xue Mo watched as he opened the drawer and threw all the things on the table into it like he was sweeping trash away. She slightly frowned and asked, "Your parents are not at home?"

Gu Si shook his head. "They're not often here."

Ming Xue Mo curled his lips in disdain. He was indeed an irresponsible pair of parents! However, Gu Si was still happier than her. At the very least, he still had his grandmother by his side, and her grandmother had already passed away before she was born … She had never even seen one.

After Gu Si finished cleaning the desk with the Great Universal Dimensional Art, he gestured towards Ming Xue Mo, "You can begin."

Ming Xue Mo took off her schoolbag, took out three test papers, and said: "Tonight we won't have class, I'll test your level first."

Gu Si exclaimed in fear, "He took the exam the moment he arrived?"

Ming Xue Mo nodded, "Yes, it's the entrance exam." She had to know his background before she could plan out a study for him.

Gu Si looked like he was about to faint. He even took a few steps back in terror.

Ming Xue Mo looked at him trying to run away, smiled, and said: "In order to ease your nervousness, I'll tell you a joke first."

Gu Si was still moving to the side. "Go on, go on."

Ming Xue Mo began, "If you are safe and sound, then the sky will be clear …"

Gu Si had already retreated to the side of the bed. There was no other way around it, so he could only assume a listening posture while waiting for Ming Xue Mo's joke. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, he would only hear this inexplicable lyric. He picked his ears and asked uncertainly, "Is it over?"

Ming Xue Mo softly uttered a word: "En".

Gu Si shook his head, seeking truth from facts. "I don't understand."

The corner of Ming Xue Mo's mouth rose slightly, "This is the simplified version."

"…" Gu Si then said, "I want to hear the original."

"There was a naughty student who took down the teacher's laptop during class break. When the class bell rang and the teacher discovered the damage he did, he said to him — 'If you are well, it will be a sunny day.'

Gu Si digested for two seconds before wrapping his hands tightly around himself and saying with a shudder, "What a cold joke."

"I think so, too, so I removed the trivial details and got the current version."

"But this version of yours isn't funny at all."

"Is that so?" Ming Xue Mo asked disapprovingly, "Have you not found the joke yet?" He explained the meaning of her joke to Gu Si. "If you behave yourself and study well, it'll be a sunny day."

Gu Si held his face in his hands and shook a few times. "What a terrifying joke."

However, Ming Xue Mo, who had just threatened him, lightly smiled and said: "The time to chat and laugh is over, let's start the class."

Considering the timing, she decided to take the first course tonight.

"Which of your studies are the best?" she asked.

Judging from the current situation, it was certain that he wouldn't be able to avoid the exam tonight. Therefore, Gu Si could only bravely accept Ming Xue Mo's test.

"Mathematics." He didn't even think about it.

"And then?"

This time, he gave it some thought. "Chinese."

Hearing this, Ming Xue Mo decisively said: "Alright, let's take the English test first."
