Chapter 82

Sheng Xia’s speech successfully won the admiration of the parents. Perhaps she made some sense—giving children some relaxation and allowing them to breathe in the face of imminent academic pressure might be more effective than just coercion. After all, the school already has a strong academic atmosphere, and as they approach their final year, they are already aware of the need for effort.

Therefore, as parents, they need to provide support, accompany, encourage, and trust their children. Instead of nagging and blaming them or comparing them with others.

The class teacher listened below with a smile, feeling somewhat puzzled. Clearly, Mrs. Jingxu’s speech was well-received, so why did Jingxu just make such a move, making her think Sheng Xia would do something unexpected? … It’s quite common on the show, cough.

Meanwhile, Jingxu, who was with his friends, couldn’t help but sneeze.

“… And then, our stepmother said those words, it was really cool!”

Xu Fan, the boy who had brought them to the classroom earlier, was dancing and telling the story of the mother and son’s battle against Mr. Plankton, his eyes shining brightly.

The others whistled along, “Cool! If it weren’t for our Mom, he would have been able to suppress us big guys——”

Jingxu found their teasing both funny and annoying, forcing himself to suppress the smile that was forming at the corners of his mouth, pretending to be impatient. “Alright, that’s enough, who are you calling Mom? And that’s not your mom, don’t call her that.”

The boys suddenly realized and said jokingly, “Back then, we said we’d go together, our mom is your mom. But now, someone doesn’t want to do it anymore, and even calling her is not allowed.”

“You really are a big guy, right, Brother Xu?”

Teased by them, Jingxu kicked out without good humor, but his eyes showed a bold and unrestrained smile, revealing a bit of youthful wilfulness.

After the playfulness, Xu Fan suddenly elbowed his arm, “Hey, you’re doing pretty well now, aren’t you?”

Jingxu was taken aback, turned his head to look at his friends with a unified look, knowing that they were worried about him even though they didn’t say it, and couldn’t help but feel touched. “Am I the kind of person who would take advantage?”Top of Form

Just a short while ago, everyone watched a movie together. Sheng Xia jokingly referred to herself as a “student-mother.” She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, “Not bad, right?”

Or maybe it’s better not to think about it.

“Well, from what I saw on the show, you all get along quite well,” Xu Fan scratched her head. “Before, we wanted to visit you, but you wouldn’t let us. I was thinking, maybe… looks like we were overthinking it, haha.”

“I told you it was just your imagination, right? I don’t think your stepmother is that kind of person. I really envy your dad, being able to marry such a beautiful wife. Not only is she great at gaming, but she also rides a motorboat and takes girls around.”

“Sigh, if only I could find someone like—” A guy next to him interjected, but seeing Feng Jingxu’s expressionless stare, he immediately shut up and obediently zipped his lips. “Stop looking, stop looking. I’m muting myself now; pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Feng Jingxu glanced at him disdainfully. “She doesn’t like kids, and she only likes good-looking and rich guys. Don’t delude yourself.”

“Come on, that’s too harsh, Jingxu.” The guy clutched his chest, half-jokingly complaining, “Look at your expression now, it’s just like your dad’s. You’re really protective and jealous, aren’t you?”

“Clearly, on the show, he said he didn’t want to call anyone ‘mom,’ it was so awkward. We were itching to go over and hug her, this is a game god who can fly, calling her ‘mom’ is a big deal—”

“What are you guys talking about?”

A voice suddenly interrupted, startling several guys.

They hastily turned around and saw Sheng Xia standing behind them, her eyes twinkling with a smile. For some reason, their minds went blank, and they all shouted in unison, “Mom!”

After a moment of surprise, Sheng Xia just smiled and replied, “Hey, big boys.”

Feng Jingxu:

His face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth, glaring at the guys who realized something was wrong and immediately covered their mouths. “What are you shouting about? Get lost, get lost, hurry up and get lost.”

After shooing away the giggling group, he turned his head and cleared his throat. “Did the parent-teacher meeting finish? Why didn’t anyone call me over?”

“I actually wanted Little Xu to appreciate Mom’s speech and charisma, but you just left without even looking back.”

He hadn’t mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Sheng Xia covered her heart and looked over with misty eyes, her voice soft, “You have no idea how popular Mom was just now. Everyone was so enthusiastic, surrounding me to chat. Even your homeroom teacher praised me.”

Feng Jingxu suddenly had a foreboding feeling, “… Praised you for what?”

“Of course, for praising my excellent speech. No wonder I’ve taught you so well, I can be considered the model parent of the class.” Sheng Xia said confidently, “They even said they hope to see your grades continue to improve next time, and then handed me your missed homework and practice books for this period.”

Model parent of the class? This couldn’t be a joke, right? If Sheng Xia really became the model parent, and parents started learning from her, wouldn’t that be—

He didn’t dare to imagine that scene, Feng Jingxu’s expression was ancient.

Strange, he suddenly felt a bit guilty towards his classmates. However, before he could feel guilty for long, he heard the second half of Sheng Xia’s sentence, and couldn’t help but raise his head sharply, “What? You brought them back?”

Sheng Xia looked sincere, “I thought the teacher was specifically saving them for you, how nice of her. I was so touched by this kindness, so I promised to bring them back.”

“Probably this high.” She gestured a height with her hand, her eyes sparkling. “Wow, you have so many missed homework and practice books, you’re amazing.”

Feng Jingxu: …

Knowing that he had extracurricular tutoring and that the homeroom teacher would never make such a request, it must be intentional from Sheng Xia!!

—He would punish Sheng Xia!!

Meanwhile, the guys who were initially laughing suddenly met Sheng Xia’s gaze—oh no, not their mom’s, but Sheng Xia’s gaze. They saw her smiling and saying, “Because there’s too much stuff, Little Xu and I definitely can’t carry it back. Can we ask for your help?”

Looking at her gentle and beautiful smile, even though they knew her demonic nature, the guys couldn’t help but blush and nod in agreement.

“That’s great.” Sheng Xia clapped her hands happily. “Thanks to you all taking care of Little Xu at school, both Little Xu’s dad and I want to treat you to a meal. Why not do it together this time?”

The guys nodded dizzily, “Okay, mom.”

Still immersed in grief, Feng Jingxu suddenly felt a twitch in his temple. He gritted his teeth and emphasized once again, “I’ve said she’s not your mom! Stop calling her that!!”

Seeing the guys playfully running towards the office, Sheng Xia couldn’t help but follow behind with her hands behind her back, leisurely walking. Looking at the campus full of youthful vitality, she sighed, “Ah, youth is so good.”

—Suddenly, there are a few handsome big boys, which is really nice.
