Chapter 37.1

Editor: Jodi

“Isn’t he fine now?” The person who’d had their mouth covered could finally breathe again.

Ning Sheng: “What if I have internal injuries?”

“I’m the one who got thrown over the shoulder!” The other person shouted angrily, “Now you’ve pissed me off so much that I’ve got internal injuries.”

“Math nerd.” Ning Sheng said coldly, “Give him 300 yuan.”

The other person: “? New Year’s money?”

“Go buy some straw and stuff it into your empty head.” Ning Sheng said.

The few troublemakers supported each other and limped away.

But before they got far, Ning Sheng raised his hand and smacked Xu Ling.

“You clearly saw it!” Ning Sheng said, “You saw him charging at me.”

Ning Sheng: “What kind of dog are you? You don’t want to work anymore?”

“It’s the New Year, dogs get a holiday.” Xu Ling told him, “Don’t hit, don’t hit, I was just leaving a rookie for you to play with.”

“You call that playing?” Ning Sheng was furious.

“They’re having an internal fight.” The troublemakers hadn’t gone far, “Should we have another round?”

However the four people by the pond who had been roughhousing all turned around at the same time.

The troublemaker’s legs went weak: “Let’s go fight someone else.”

Li Haoyue was busy setting up fireworks on the ground.

“Princess?” Lu Peng turned back, “I’m going to light it up now.”

Xu Ling covered Ning Sheng’s ears.

Sparks flew, and Ning Sheng’s super-luxurious 5000-yuan firework shot into the night sky.

Lu Peng scrambled back, half-rolling: “I just set money on fire. I’m now also someone who has burned 5000 yuan before, hahaha.”

Ning Sheng: “….”

“These fireworks.” Li Haoyue looked up, “Saved the whole village 5000 yuan.”

Ning Sheng only dared to play with snap-pops— the fireworks were all lit by Xu Ling and the others.

“Happy New Year!” Lu Peng shouted towards the pond, “May princess eat more meat in the new year!”

“Then I wish that princess scores second in math in the new year, but I have to be the first!” Li Haoyue said.

“I’ll continue being Ning Sheng’s dog in the new year!” Another voice chimed in.

Xu Ling grabbed Ning Sheng by the collar: “Now you’re even learning to talk like me.”

The tall and upright boys stood by the pond until the fireworks faded, and the sky was filled with stars.

They spent the whole night messing around by the pond, before finally riding their bikes home.

“Let’s meet tomorrow to do homework.” Li Haoyue told them.

Ning Sheng: “Sure.”

Xu Ling rode his bike, carrying Ning Sheng away.

Group chat [Three Golden Suns Trying Hard to Fish Up the Sun] : (3)

[Ning] : There’s only a few days left until school starts. You guys know what I mean, right?

[Math is so great, I love math] : We should hurry up and have fun?

[Ning] : You’ve become lazy.

[Ning] : We’ll be going to high school in six months. We have two choices: the town’s high school or the one in the city.

[Math is so great, I love math] : The one in the city obviously. The town’s school leads to the electronics factory, and there’s no way princess knows how to screw bolts.

[Ning] : You’re saying it as if you know how.

[Math is so great, I love math] : Dog Xu can.

[Ning] : Stop sidetracking! What I’m trying to say is, we need to help Lu Peng with his grades.

[Ling] : Yeah, otherwise he won’t be able to go to high school with us.

[Ning] : His good days are over.

[Math is so great, I love math] : You guys should work hard too.

[Ning] : The middle school exams are nothing.

So that night, Ning Sheng sat in his room, trying his hardest to recall the middle school exam questions from his previous life.

But surprise, surprise.

He couldn’t recall a single thing.

“Ning Ning.” His grandmother called him, “It’s the New Year, so don’t study too hard. I’ve warmed up some sweet melon milk for you.”

“I’m coming!” He ran out of his room.

“Xu Ling’s mom just dropped off some New Year’s goods for us.” His grandmother told him, “And they are all your favorite things.”

Ning Sheng: “Wow.”

“I had a little chat with her and found out that Xu Ling has a biological dad in S City.” His grandmother continued.

Ning Sheng: “?”

“And with high school coming up, his biological dad plans to visit him soon.” She added.

Ning Sheng: “!!!”

It all came rushing back.

If he remembered correctly, the Big Demon King’s high school years were spent in S City.

He dropped a bowl.

“Why are you getting angry just from talking?” His grandmother was curious.

“Someone’s trying to steal my dog.” Ning Sheng said angrily.

His grandmother: “?”

And at this very moment, at the entrance of Xu Ling’s family’s car wash, a man-to-man conversation was taking place.

“Don’t you think he’s kind of annoying?” Xu Ling asked, holding a water gun.

Xu Ling’s stepdad: “I do.”

“Then why bother?” Xu Ling asked, “That’s her ex, you know.”

Xu Ling’s stepdad: “………”

Xu Ling’s stepdad: “Can you ask something more appropriate for a 14-year-old?”

“Don’t chicken out.” Xu Ling said, “Show the manly pride you should have. Don’t let him come.”

“You little brat.” Xu Ling’s stepdad took a drag of his cigarette, “That’s your biological father.”

“The one I don’t even see once a year?” Xu Ling asked.

Xu Ling’s stepdad paused.

“I’ll take care of you when you’re old.” Xu Ling told him.

Xu Ling’s stepdad: “How? Tell me, so I can be happy now.”

Xu Ling: “When I get rich, I’ll buy you a hundred cars.”

Xu Ling’s stepdad: “All for me to drive?”

Xu Ling: “All for you to wash.”

Xu Ling’s mom was hanging clothes to dry when the sound of a racket came from the car wash.

Xu Ling was jumping around, and his stepdad was chasing him.

“You two, don’t trample my dried radishes!” She yelled, but couldn’t help but laugh.

Group chat [One Golden Sun and Two Scrap Iron Suns] : (3)

[Ning] : Hmph.

[Ning] : Hmph.

[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : Peiqi sent this?

[Ning] : ?

[Math is so great, I love math] : Two “hmphs”, double the anger. Who ticked you off?

[Ning] : Xu Ling’s biological dad is coming tomorrow.

[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : What’s he coming for? He’s short on sons?

[Ning] : To lure Dog Xu away with the sugar-coated bullets of S City.

[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : That won’t work. Princess, you’re so rich, Dog Xu has already seen the world.

[Ning] : To lure Dog Xu with blood ties.

[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : How about I adopt Dog Xu as my godson?

[Ning] : Get lost.

[Ning] : I don’t have a dog anymore.
