Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before everyone could recover from the shock given to them by Su Xun, the members of the debate team who heard the commotion and came out of classroom 201 had already lined up neatly to greet them. “Hello, Principal and Seniors! ”
“Hello to all of you.” Principal Liu replied cheerfully. His gaze swept past Xi Ze and he nodded gently at him. “These are your seniors. They know that you’re going to have the finals of the debate today, so they specially came over to cheer you on.”
Su Xun noticed Principal Liu’s gaze and followed his gaze. He happened to meet Xi Ze’s gaze.
Xi Ze had originally planned to continue observing Su Xun, but he did not expect to meet his gaze the moment he looked over. For a moment, he did not know if he should look away.
If he looked away now, wouldn’t Su Xun be laughing at him?
Hence, Xi Ze did not choose to look away. Instead, he met Su Xun’s gaze and looked at him seriously.
Su Xun was not dissatisfied with Xi Ze’s impolite sizing him up. Instead, he nodded at him.
Xi Wan looked at their actions with interest. When she saw Xi Ze’s unhappy expression, a big smile appeared on her face.
Looking at the smile on Xi Wan’s face, Xi Ze suddenly felt like a little lion that had been provoked. He quickly thought of a countermeasure to counterattack.
If Xi Wan knew what Xi Ze was thinking now, she would definitely think that he was very childish.
Just as the captain of the debate team, Mu Mu, was about to look for Xi Ze to explain the theme of the debate to the seniors, she saw Xi Ze walking directly toward Su Xun.
While everyone was wondering why Xi Ze was looking for Su Xun, the way Xi
Ze addressed Su Xun shocked everyone.
“Brother-in-law.”
Hearing Xi Ze address him like that, Su Xun was surprised and pleasantly surprised. This was the first time Xi Ze had addressed him as ‘brother-in-law’ since he and Xi Wan got married.
Did this mean that Xi Ze acknowledged his identity as his brother-in-law?
Su Xun nodded at him. He didn’t know what to say to him for a moment. After some deliberation, he could only say, “Good luck in the debate.”
Xi Ze’s teammates were completely stunned. They did not know that Xi Ze was really Xi Wan’s younger brother. They thought that the two of them only had the same surname.
“Xi Ze, are you really Xi Wan’s biological brother and Mr. Su’s brother-in-law? The boy who had been standing beside Xi Ze from the start asked in surprise.
“Yes.” Xi Ze’s answer was as short as ever.
Mu Mu went forward excitedly and grabbed Xi Ze’s arm, shaking it vigorously. “Why didn’t you say so earlier! Senior Su Xun used to lead the school’s debate team and won first place in several debate competitions. If I had known that you and Senior Su Xun had such a relationship, I would have shamelessly asked you to invite him to guide us!!”
“…” Xi Ze silently removed Mu Mu’s hand from his arm. “I didn’t think about that.”
‘I !!!” Mu Mu widened her eyes and looked at him.
Do you think I’ll believe you?
You’re already his brother-in-law. Haven’t you thought about it?
Principal Liu was the least surprised because when he first saw Xi Wan, Xi Ze had been standing beside her. Moreover, their facial features were very similar.
Xi Ze was one of the most outstanding students in the school, so Principal Liu paid a lot of attention to him. He also knew that he had a biological sister, so the moment he saw Xi Wan, Principal Liu’s heart was suddenly enlightened.
“They’re all very outstanding children.” Principal Liu smiled at Mu Mu and Xi Ze. “Mu Mu, don’t be agitated. Isn’t Senior Su Xun here now? If you have any questions about the debate, it’s not too late to ask him now.”
“Isn’t that right, Su Xun?” Principal Liu chuckled and threw the question to Su Xun.
“You’re right. I’m happy to help my juniors.” Su Xun nodded.
When Mu Mu heard Su Xun’s affirmative answer, the expression on her face became even more excited. She stammered, “Senior… We just happened to encounter a problem. We originally wanted to look for our teacher but now that we have met you, we hope that you can give us some pointers!”
“Sure.” Su Xun nodded, indicating for her to speak her mind.
In fact, the problems that the debate team encountered could not be solved. It was just that they were too inexperienced to think of a solution.
After Su Xun’s advice, everyone quickly found a solution..
