My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 13 Genius is merely the threshold to seeing me

After a round of honesty, well, neither of them awakened any system.

But it doesn't matter, since rebirth itself is the biggest bug. The two weren't completely useless in their previous lives; they were quite capable.

"Since you haven't awakened any of that bullshit childhood sweetheart nurturing system, then I'd like to ask you, how come you get along so well with Wan Ning and Ruan Wen?"

Xia Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, her face full of doubt.

"What kind of look is that? Wan Ning is so cute! Who doesn't love an adorable human baby? Besides, didn't Ruan Wen become your friend first? Why are you asking me?"

"Who knows you? None of the figurines in your room used to look like adults. I was afraid you'd go astray."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Qingfan slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "All my figurines are over eighteen years old; they're all legal lolis. Don't you dare slander me!"

"I think they're over eighteen years old combined, right?" Xia Xiaoxiao said quietly.

Xu Qingfan was speechless, rolled his eyes.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke up: "Do you want to stop Uncle Xia's matter?"

The smug look on Xia Xiaoxiao's face faded, and she lay on the desk, tapping her fingers rhythmically.

"Whatever."

"I'll support you no matter what you want to do." Xu Qingfan walked over, patted her head, and left the room. "Godmother! I've come to help!"

Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at his back, a faint warmth rising in her heart.

...

The lunch was a grand celebration, both for Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao passing the entrance exam and for Lin Jing getting a raise after changing jobs.

"So, Xiao Fan and Xiao Xiao won't have to pay tuition for elementary school?" Yao Jinping got up an hour earlier than usual today, but her face was radiant and showed no signs of fatigue.

"Yes, the tuition is waived for six years, which is already in the contract. There will also be scholarships each semester based on your performance after starting school." Lin Jing put down her chopsticks and took out the contract she brought back from school.

"Haha, Xiao Fan was right the other day! Not only do we not have to pay tuition, the school will even give us money!" Xu Aiguo laughed heartily.

Both he and his wife only have a junior high school education, and what they want most is for their child to succeed in his studies.

"That's because our Xiao Fan is so outstanding. The noodles in the human world are so rare, one bowl less for each person you eat, one less for each person you meet. How well written."

Lin Jing patted Xu Qingfan's head, seeing in him the kind of person she had hoped to be when she was a child.

"That's all thanks to your good parenting, Jingjing. Xiaofan has been causing you a lot of trouble these past few years."

Yao Jinping was both happy that her son was successful and guilty that she had not fulfilled her duties as a mother. As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Xiao Fan is not a problem. Guo Fu is away for ten days or half a month at a time, and Xiao Xiao is also quiet and doesn't like to talk. With Xiao Fan by my side as my source of joy, I don't feel so lonely."

"So when Xiaofan suddenly called me godmother that day, I was really happy. It still feels like a dream when I think about it now."

Lin Jing is also a sentimental person, and her eyes reddened when she was deeply moved.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Qingfan quickly said, "I have two mothers. One gave me life, and she devoted her days to busy work and supported my life with hard work."

The other is Aunt Lin Jing. We're not related by blood, yet she's been a constant presence in my life, waiting for me after school, offering daily tenderness, filling my ordinary moments with love and happiness.

"How fortunate I am to be loved by two people, quietly."

Yao Jinping and Xu Aiguo were both stunned. Although they had known in advance that Xiao Fan could write poetry, the fact that he could compose poetry so readily was astounding. Was this really their son?

Just as Lin Jing found it hard to believe that Xiao Xiao was actually a math genius, her parents, who were not very literate, were equally stunned by Xu Qingfan's talent.

[Has our Xu (Yao) family produced an educated person?]

"Hey? Godmother, did you get sand in your eyes? Let me blow it out for you!" Xu Qingfan pretended to get up and blow it out of Lin Jing's eyes.

Lin Jing burst into laughter through her tears, turning her head away to wipe them away.

Her kindness towards Xu Qingfan was genuine, but Xiao Fan's ability to remember her kindness and write it into a poem and recite it truly touched her heart.

"Alright, the food's getting cold, let's eat quickly."

"Hehe~ Okay!"

Xu Qingfan picked up his bowl and started munching on rice, which made everyone laugh.

......

After lunch, Dad and Mom went out to work, while Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao took a nap at home.

Since his house didn't have air conditioning yet, he naturally stayed on Xia Xiaoxiao's bed.

"Feed~" Xia Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him.

"What?" Xu Qingfan took off his blindfold.

"Thank you."

"Let's talk about this, time for bed. I want to see Wan Ning soon."

"..."

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, turned her back, and snatched his blanket.

...

Their apartment complex wasn't far from Ruan Wen's martial arts school. After waking up, the two quickly washed their faces, grabbed their keys, and headed out.

Last year, a horrifying case of child traffickers breaking into a home and snatching a child occurred in Licheng, and the case remains unsolved to this day.

For safety reasons, Xu Qingfan took the two most imposing dogs in the neighborhood, Big Yellow and Little Black, with him when he set off.

When they arrived at the martial arts school, Lin Wanning had not yet arrived. Xu Qingfan handed the dog leash to Ruan Wen and pumped water from the well to wash his hands and feet.

"It's so hot today. There was a stretch of road without shade just now, and Big Yellow and Little Black got their feet burned while doing their lion dance." Xu Qingfan tugged at his collar and started stretching his legs to warm up.

"Xiao Fan, didn't you check the weather forecast? The TV said it's 37 degrees Celsius today, the hottest day of the year." Xiao Ruanwen cupped well water in her hands to feed the dog.

"No wonder it's so hot, even more so than before I was reborn... cough."

"Xiao Fan, what are you talking about?" Xiao Ruanwen looked up in confusion.

"I said it's even hotter than Chongqing. Ruan Wen, have you ever been to Chongqing?"

"No, I've only been to Guilin, Yanjing, and Fujian."

"Hujian? You mean Fujian?"

"Yes, yes, Fujian, Fujian!"

Xia Xiaoxiao said she couldn't bear to watch, as their Mandarin was about the same.

"Ruan Wen, I'm stuck on one move of the staff technique. Could you teach me?"

"Here it comes~"

Before practicing martial arts, Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao simply thought Ruan Wen had some skill. Now, after practicing for almost two months, they realized that Ruan Wen was more than just skilled.

The moves that they practiced for half a day to master, Xiao Ruanwen could perfectly replicate after just one look.

It truly proves the saying: If you don't cultivate yourself, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you do cultivate yourself, you'll see me like a mayfly looking at the blue sky.

Xu Qingfan used to think that he would be the strongest elementary school student on earth for at least the next five or six years, but now he realizes that he was too confident.

If we disregard Xia Xiaoxiao, he will probably be the strongest elementary school student on Earth for the next two or three years, right?

In short, you really should become famous as early as possible!
