Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Two Childish Fools

It was one thing to have two little tagalongs trailing behind her. The real problem was that they were constantly bickering.

And the subject of their squabble was her, of all people!

"Don’t you even think about showing off in front of me again. My sis already said she’ll make clothes for me too! Hmph!"

"Tch, who’s showing off to you? I get to eat my sister-in-law’s cooking every single day. Have I ever bragged about that?"

Lu Xinyue tilted her chin up smugly. She knew that her sister-in-law must have cooked at home after returning to her family, so Shen Xiangnan had definitely eaten her food as well.

’It’s not that fun to brag when he hasn’t even tried it. The best time to show off is *after* he’s had a taste!’

’After all, once you’ve tasted something that delicious, not being able to have it so easily anymore... that’s a pretty awful feeling!’

’But it was different for her! Shen Nian was her sister-in-law, and they lived together every day. In the future, she could eat it whenever she wanted!’

’I hope Shen Xiangnan just dies of envy. Hmph!’

"You... you... you! And you say you’re not showing off! Well, you won’t be smug for long. My sis is still going to university!"

"So what? They’ll still come back, and when they do, I’ll get to eat her food just the same. Can’t say the same for you, though!"

"You..."

Listening to the conversation behind her, Shen Nian pressed a hand to her forehead in exasperation.

’These two are sixteen years old, aren’t they? How can they be so immature!’

"Hey, if you two keep bickering like this, why don’t you just pack it up and go home to your mothers!"

"..."

The moment Shen Nian spoke, it immediately fell quiet behind her. Both of them obediently clamped their mouths shut, not saying another word, communicating their mutual disdain only through glares.

After all, neither of them wanted to get sent home by Shen Nian just like that.

Soon, the main gate of L County First Middle School appeared before the four of them.

However, the gate of L County First Middle School seemed a little different today.

Shen Nian stared at the large, bright red banner hanging over the school gate and suddenly felt at a loss for words.

Because, emblazoned on that bright red banner were the words:

"Congratulations to a student of our school for achieving outstanding results in this year’s college entrance examination and winning the honor of being the Provincial Top Scorer!"

Although the banner didn’t explicitly state the student’s name, having just come from the Education Bureau, Shen Nian knew perfectly well that the Provincial Top Scorer... was her.

’Could this be the reason the school required all the exam takers to return today?’

The banner was hanging conspicuously right at the school gate. It wasn’t just Shen Nian who saw it; Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue, trailing behind her, saw it too.

"Wow, Sis, someone from your school was the provincial top scorer this year! That’s incredible!"

"Yeah! The thought that I’ll be starting here next semester is actually kind of exciting!"

As Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue marveled at the news, it never occurred to either of them to connect the "Provincial Top Scorer" with Shen Nian.

After all, this was the Provincial Top Scorer! It was the first time L County had ever produced one!

In ancient times, that would be the equivalent of a national-level Number One Scholar!

"Sis, let’s hurry inside! Maybe we’ll get to see the top scorer in a bit!"

Shen Xiangnan urged Shen Nian. For once, Lu Xinyue didn’t argue with him and chimed in as well.

"Yeah! Maybe some of the top scorer’s intelligence will rub off on us!"

"..."

Shen Nian looked at the two little fools in front of her with a helpless expression. ’I’m not going to tell them I’m the provincial top scorer!’

’I can’t wait to see their reactions when they finally find out the top scorer is standing right in front of them!’
