Chapter 48 - Caught on the Spot (II)

"Brother Fu, do you not want Master Ting's companionship? I want it!" Xie Tiao ran over excitedly, folded his hands with his fingers up and nodded his head toward Fu Ting as though he was praying to the gods. "Learning God... Learning God... If I were to know that you're so awesome, I would've copied your answers for this test. If so, I wouldn't need to make copies ever again."

"Copying answers is wrong; you can't think of it this way," Fu Ting eloquently reprimanded him. "You should use your own efforts to gain knowledge as you learn. This way, you'll have a sense of accomplishment."

"Yes, yes! Whatever Master Ting says is right." After being advised by Fu Ting, Xie Tiao's long-lost shame consumed him. He touched his crew-cut hair and went before Fu Pei as he noisily commented, "Brother Fu, you see that Master Ting is so outstanding. Are we, who are so behind academically, worthy to be around her?"

Su Luoshui raised her chin. "My little kid has such a high IQ," she hummed. "It's really wrong for her to call you father."

The speaker was unintentional.

Nonetheless, the mindless words sounded significant to a suspicious listener.

Fu Pei's heart that pretended to be indifferent was, in fact, sensitive. His heart was once again hit by the outside world.

It was said that top students despised the scums. Little Fool was incredibly bright so she must look down on him, right?

She could even be laughing at him cruelly in secret...

The hands tucked in his pockets were unknowingly clenched, and his slender arms tightened until blue veins became visible.

The young man's eyes turn cold, looking very depressed.

He almost turned to escape.

His cuff tightened.

A fair and soft hand grabbed him by the edges of his clothes. The little girl's eyes looked as if they were soaked in water just like the tender bamboo shoots, and it stimulated his eyes.

"What's up?" Fu Pei's tongue touched his cheek and gritted his teeth brutally. It seemed as though black clouds came out from his eyes. 

He leaned his body to one side. Under the daylight, his cruel disposition seemed to emit faint shadows. He looked like an angel and a devil at the same time, looking extremely oppressing.

If Little Fool really dared to laugh, he...

Fu Ting blinked, and a soft and cute dimple appeared on her cheek as she smiled.

The delicate voice sounded like she was eating sweet and sour flavor ice cream.

"I inherited my IQ from my dad!"

As if someone pressed the pause button, Fu Pei's world turned blank.

It was only after some time that he came back into reality, and his heart was turned upside down.

Little Fool... She was using her unique way to defend his dignity.

How could it be... so sweet?

Little Sweet Bun.

The tense cold vibe around him slowly faded away, and his black eyes flashed with a silent smile. "Piggy Fu," he said indifferently.

She gave up the great opportunity to enter the excellence class. Was she not a pig?

Fu Ting smiled kindly and her eyebrows curved. "Dad, let's take the exam to get into university together, shall we?" she spoke, her voice warm and encouraging.

Xie Tiao scoffed. "Master Ting, you look too highly on Brother Fu. Looking at his grades, I'm afraid that entering a university is just a silly dream."

"It doesn't matter if your grades aren't good," Fu Ting earnestly replied. "There are still a few months left, so there's still a chance to turn things around. As long as you study hard, you can surely get good grades."

Xie Tiao touched his crew-cut hair. "Really?"

Fu Ting nodded vigor. "From now on, I'll supervise your study. Luoshui, you have to study with us, too. If you don't understand something, do ask me right away."

"I'll listen to Little Kid!" Su Luoshui indulgently chirped. 

Fu Pei cleared his throat and was about to refuse...

Fu Ting immediately eyeballed him. "Dad, you promised you'd study hard. Would you break your promise?"

Fu Pei was speechless.

He regretted it now. Was it too late?

It was obviously impossible!

Fu Ting proactively made a good study plan and clapped her hands encouragingly. "Our study group will be called the 'Poor Students Counterattack Group'. In order to not put pressure on you, we'll first set a small goal. You can choose Tsinghua or Peking University; whichever you like!"

Su Luoshui's mouth twitched. "Little Kid, aren't you being a bit reckless?"

'… Let me go,' Xie Tiao internally whined, 'I just want to be an indisputable garbage!'

Fu Ting scratched her chin. "Is it too difficult? Well, how about Harvard? Oxford?"

As his eyes met the little girl's clear ones, Fu Pei lowered his noble head and answered with a stoic face. "... As you wish."

Keeping promises was also a virtue.

...

Reminder: The father does not have romantic feelings for her. This is just the intimacy between family.

He suffered too much on his own, and the female protagonist specially came to heal him.
