198: 192 Thrill to the Max!
198: 192 Thrill to the Max!
Opening the door, she saw a tall man standing before her, dragging his luggage, grood in a suit, looking weary from travel, with an abstinent aura that seed to stretch for miles.
Wu Ma’s eyes lit up.
“Young Master, how co you’re back?”
Xia Tiao’s eyelids were shaded with a faint blue, a clear sign of the aftermath of taking an overnight flight.
However, he still seed quite alert, not feeling a bit tired as he looked inside the house, “The ti difference got a bit mixed up after getting off the plane.
Little Tiangao hasn’t gone to school yet, right?”
Wu Ma nodded vigorously, “He hasn’t even gotten up yet.
Please co in, Young Master.
I’ll get your room ready for you.”
As she walked towards the inner rooms, she mumbled to herself, the Second Miss’s college entrance exam was coming up and the Young Master had made a special trip back from abroad; it certainly wasn’t easy.
But as she reached the corridor, she was surprised to see the Third Young Master, bleary-eyed, coming out of another room.
He touched his ear stud, yawned with his handso face, and despite the slightly dishevelled hair, his good looks weren’t compromised.
Wu Ma: “Third Young Master?
When did you get back?”
Xia Xian had only slept for two hours, and he responded vaguely, “Soti after midnight…
I forget exactly when.”
He had used his own key to quietly slip inside, afraid of waking Little Tiangao, and had managed not to disturb anyone.
Even Wu Ma had no idea he’d already returned.
While they were talking, Xia Xing also appeared.
He gave a dismissive look toward his older and younger brother: “What’s the point of you guys rushing back when I’m already here?”
Xia Tiao loosened his tie, sitting down on the couch in his impeccably tailored suit, his brows usually furrowed in seriousness: “It’s precisely because you’re here that we’re not at ease.”
Xia Xian exaggerated a ‘Hmm’ in agreent: “I do actually agree with what our big brother says this ti.”
Xia Xing glowered at them.
What was that supposed to an?
Xia Tiao took a sip of water, resting for a mont, and noticed the familiar figure bustling about in the kitchen.
He quickly got up, “Mom, why are you cooking yourself?
The last ti I accompanied you to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor emphasized that you should not overexert yourself.”
The sons had called Xu He the night before, so she wasn’t surprised to see them now.
She scolded him with a smile, “That was old news.
I’m much healthier now.
The last ti the family doctor checked, my indices were better.
Go on, don’t make trouble.”
Xia Xian grabbed a bottle of ice-cold drink from the fridge, took a sip, and turned to ask, “Mom, have you been taking the dicine that Little Tiangao made?”
Xu He chuckled, “Yes, exactly, it’s all thanks to Little Tiangao’s dicine.”
What?
Little Tiangao’s dicine?
The only family mber who was a savvy internet surfer—Xia Tiao furrowed his brows deeply.
Little Tiangao knows how to make dicine?
Yet on closer inspection, mom did seem to be in a better state than the last ti he visited.
Xia Xing snickered secretly, imagining his older brother’s reaction if he saw the significant amount of money currently in his bank account; it would likely shock him to death.
Lately, he’d upgraded his beloved car with many new parts, all paid for with the earnings from Little Tiangao’s investnts.
The reason the eldest and third son had co back this ti was mainly to be present for Little Tiangao’s college entrance exam.
It was a pivotal mont in their beloved sister’s life, a once-in-a-lifeti event, and they were determined to participate and witness it for themselves!
Getting promoted or earning more money—those opportunities would co again, but their little sister’s college entrance exam cos only once in a lifeti!
The exam officially started at 9:00, but Xia Ye woke up at 7:00.
She still had to eat breakfast, then gather at First Middle School, before taking the bus to No.3 Middle School.
In such a tense situation, Xia Ye, who woke up at 7:00, shuffled lazily in her slippers, evidently not having slept enough.
As it turned out, Tian Ye’s concerns from the day before weren’t unwarranted.
Walking into the living room and seeing her delightful brothers, she perked up a bit, “Oh?
You guys are back.”
Upon seeing their sister erge, Xia Xian and Xia Tiao imdiately rose, abandoning whatever they were doing.
Months had passed since they last saw Little Tiangao, and extre fondness instantly spread across their faces.
It was a look that would never appear in front of their colleagues or subordinates in their respective fields.
The brothers ushered Xia Ye to the dining table, pulling out the chair usually reserved for the family patriarch, Xia Yuzheng, and seated their precious sister comfortably.
“Little Tianbao, today’s breakfast is personally made by mom.”
“It might be a little too much, but the Third Brother just went in to sll it, and it slls incredibly delicious.”
“Listen to your big brother, you should try a bit of everything to get a good start on your day,” Xia Tiao said, fearing she might feel overwheld by the quantity of food and not want to eat, but Xia Ye nodded agreeably.
Just two bites, how about that?
You could eat it all and still not be full.
Seeing her seated, Xu He’s eyebrows lifted in a happy smile as she erged from the kitchen, beginning to serve dishes one by one.
Today’s breakfast was a fusion of Eastern and Western cuisine.
The first dish: a plate of spaghetti with tomato at sauce.
The spaghetti was even chosen in the SpongeBob shape that all kids love.
In Xu He’s heart, Xia Ye would always be her little baby who never grew up.
The pasta was topped with a generous amount of tomato at sauce and garnished with a basil leaf.
The sauce was a bright red.
Its na: Fortune Arrives!
The second dish: a soft, braised pig’s trotter.
Just one pig’s trotter, no other accompanints, because this dish was called: One Step to Heaven!
The third dish: a fragrant roasted chicken, its wings and little feet carefully wrapped in gold foil.
Gold List Title!
The fourth dish was the most powerful, the culmination of ancestral wisdom, a must-eat for children before an exam!
Xia Ye looked down at her plate, a youtiao with two sunny-side-up eggs lined up behind it.
“…”
She fell silent for two seconds, then raised her head to look at Xu He, “Mom, each subject in the college entrance exam has a maximum score of 150 points.”
Xu He’s face held a ‘you little thing, having quite the high standards for yourself’ expression as she looked at her with a smile, “Aside from Chinese, if you can score a hundred in the other subjects, Mom will be very satisfied!”
Xia Ye: …
Setting that aside, the flavor was indeed quite wonderful.
Xia Ye finished eating and prepared to leave; it was almost 8 o’clock.
Xia Xing started up his cherished sports car, with the brothers tagging along to send her off.
Xia Yuzheng and Xu He stood at the door, watching them depart.
A mighty procession of people.
The car sped towards First Middle School.
Xia Xing drove quite fast, so they should have been on ti.
But halfway there, the car suddenly made a ‘buzz buzz’ noise.
Xia Xing quickly slowed down and in no ti, the engine stopped working.
The car slowly ca to a stop by the roadside.
Xia Tiao: “Why did we stop?”
Xia Xing gave the dashboard a cursory check but was befuddled, “Could it be that the recent modifications with too many new parts caused an incompatibility?”
“What?” Xia Xian frowned, “Can you not handle it?
Even the car’s failing?”
Xia Xing hurriedly got out to check the car, not caring if anyone around could recognize him.
Xia Tiao got off to hail a cab by the roadside.
Xia Xian called Wang Dahai, asking how long it would take for him to get there at the soonest.
A few more minutes passed by; it was the morning rush hour for work, and they couldn’t get a taxi at all.
Wang Dahai hurried frantically from ho, but with traffic jams en route, he wouldn’t arrive for at least 20 minutes.
The current ti, 8:20.
By 8:30, they could enter the examination hall.
Xia Tiao cared for nothing else; he was about to requisition a civilian car in his capacity as a senior official of the O Alliance Secretariat.
Xia Xian bit his lip, “Second brother!
If you delay Little Tiangao’s college entrance exam, you will be the Xia Family’s sinner!”
Xia Xing had thoughts of a ritual suicide.
Only Xia Ye, the person involved, was not anxious at all.
She had deliberately done a little fortune-telling after getting up in the morning.
The ons were excellent: safe and sound despite the risks, turning misfortunes into blessings.
And sure enough, just at that mont, the sound of a car horn suddenly ca from the side.
The n of the Xia family all turned their heads to look—
——*——*——

I’ve been chasing you guys in my car for quite a while!
