Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

The kid in front of me turned his head back and never did. During the second break, he wasn't jumping around like before. He sat alone in his seat, either slumped over or reclining, looking sullen.

Xia Rongliu almost thought that a piece of candy had driven the child to autism. Xia Zhanxin wanted to talk to Xia Rongliu about it, but she felt it wasn't a good idea to say it in front of others, as it might backfire.

This state continued until school let out at noon. By the door, the child in front of him leaned against the door frame, a faint sadness surrounding him.

Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin stood a little further apart. Xia Rongliu asked Xia Zhanxin, puzzled, "Do you think it's that serious? I told him I'd give it to him tomorrow, why are you so sad?"

Xia Zhanxin only knew the reason, and could only sigh.

"Sun Zhu!" an elderly man called out from outside with a strong voice. The child at the table in front of him reacted and went over.

"This must be his grandfather," Xia Zhanxin said. Xia Rongliu glanced at him and added, "I think so. And this child's name is Sun Zhu?"

Although Sun Zhu often called her "Sister Xia," Xia Zhanxin didn't know what Sun Zhu called her because she spent her free time visiting Xia Zhanxin. Xia Zhanxin, on the other hand, didn't know either.

"Sister, it's time to eat, I'm hungry." Xia Zhanxin pulled Xia Rongliu into the house. The food in the lunchbox was already cold, so Xia Zhishu took it to the kitchen to heat it up.

Yes, the school has a kitchen. Although the kitchen is small, it has everything you need. And since the summer solstice book is just heated up, it's even simpler and easier to use.

Why didn't we cook here before, instead of having Xia Rongliu deliver the food? Of course, it's because Xia Zhishu doesn't know how to cook, so Lin Yue always prepared the food and had Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin deliver it.

After heating up the food, they carried it into the small house and placed it on the table. Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin sat obediently in front of the table, along with Master Zhang. Several dishes and a bowl of rice were placed on the table.

They ate together, sharing the dishes. Master Zhang also provided a seaweed and egg drop soup, all of which he made himself in the kitchen.

He doesn't have a wife and lives alone, so naturally no one prepares meals for him. He can't eat out three times a day, as that would be too expensive. Therefore, cooking is an essential survival skill for him.

The food was served on the table, and it tasted exceptionally delicious and fragrant.

After eating, Xia Zhishu went to take a nap, leaving Master Zhang to continue filing documents. Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin didn't want to sleep; children don't usually feel sleepy at noon.

The two didn't want to go out, so they stayed inside and continued playing Go. While playing, Xia Zhanxin told Xia Rongliu about his conversation with Sun Zhu, but of course he didn't mention the two methods Sun Zhu had given him.

Once Xia Rongliu finds out that she's used it, things will be over.

"So pitiful? Are there really older sisters who hate their younger brothers this much?" Xia Rongliu couldn't quite understand, after all, before Xia Zhanxin was born, she had been hoping for a younger brother or sister.

Xia Zhanxin, of course, didn't understand either. "Yes, it would be fine if it were just favoritism, but the key is that his parents favor his sister more. Why does his sister still dislike Sun Zhu?"

"What did Sun Zhu say?" Xia Rongliu suddenly understood the reason for Sun Zhu's behavior after today, and no wonder Xia Zhanxin was willing to share it with him.

"He said he didn't know, that it had been like this since he could remember."

"Could it have happened before I could remember?" Xia Rongliu placed the last chess piece, and Xia Zhanxin lost.

Xia Zhanxin rearranged the objects, saying, "Could it be that she was that young before she could remember anything?"

The two were having a great time talking, and Master Zhang, who was on the side recording the conversation, naturally knew about it. He couldn't help but interject, "Everyone has a different perspective and sees things differently. The reason why Sun Zhu's sister dislikes Sun Zhu might not even be because of Sun Zhu himself."

"What's the reason for that?" Xia Rongliu asked.

"How would I know? I'm not Sister Sun Zhu, why are you asking me?" Master Zhang shook his head and continued with the record-keeping.

Xia Rongliu refused to give up, saying, "If you can say that, then you must know something."

“What could I possibly know? I’m just telling you about some situations that often lead to misunderstandings, and I’m just observing your reactions. I’m not someone else’s person.” Master Zhang refused to say any more.

Xia Rongliu stopped asking. Master Zhang was right, and she had no right to meddle in other people's affairs. Besides, Master Zhang certainly wouldn't say anything more.

Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin continued playing Gomoku.

As they played, Xia Rongliu started to struggle. Xia Zhanxin, on the other hand, had a strong learning ability and naturally learned something as simple as Gomoku very quickly. After a few games with Xia Rongliu, she was basically on par with him.

Xia Rongliu lost, and she felt very frustrated. She had been playing for a month, but she couldn't beat Xia Zhanxin, who had only studied for a day.

After finishing his work, Master Zhang saw Xia Rongliu's defeated expression and went over to tease her, "What, you lost? Lost to a little brother who only studied for one day?"

This statement was extremely hurtful, but it was also true. Xia Rongliu did not refute it. This time, Master Zhang was really surprised. He wondered if Xia Rongliu's face was ashen and whether it was just a casual remark or the truth.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Xia Rongliu who had lost. Master Zhang looked at Xia Zhanxin and suddenly chuckled lewdly, “Hahahaha, no wonder you’re family, both so smart. Zhanxin, are you interested in learning Go with me?”

Xia Rongliu was speechless for a moment. "Master Zhang, you promised to teach me, but you haven't done so yet."

Master Zhang was a little embarrassed. "That's alright, you two can learn from me together."

Xia Rongliu didn't believe him, but just took it as him talking. Although Master Zhang was reliable to her, she didn't trust him much. "Then let's pay back the candy we owe first."

Master Zhang: ...

"I said I'd give it to you tomorrow." Why did you have to say that in front of Xia Zhanxin? You've already lost your credibility with her.

As soon as Master Zhang finished preparing the lesson plan, he started teaching. The first two periods were also Master Zhang's classes, and the children sat obediently in their seats, including Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin.

The two of them had planned in advance that when Sun Zhu arrived, they would give him some candy to soothe his fragile and wounded heart.

As a result, half a class period passed and Sun Zhu still hadn't arrived. Xia Rongliu said, "Could it be that this child has been too traumatized? No way, she must have something to do." Xia Rongliu was asking and answering herself in a typical way.

Xia Zhanxin shook her head. "Let's save the candy for him first and give it to him when he comes. Although it's a bit of a blow, he's said he's gotten used to it over the years, so it's not that bad."

Upon hearing this, Xia Rongliu's eyebrows twitched violently. "What kind of grudge is this? Could it be that you had a deep-seated blood feud in your past life and were reincarnated into this family to seek revenge?"

After saying that, Xia Rongliu remembered what Master Zhang had said.

"Everyone has a different perspective and sees things differently. The reason why Sun Zhu's sister dislikes Sun Zhu may not even be because of Sun Zhu himself."
