BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - 170: Devoted to Learning
“You call my brother uncle, so what do you call me?” Fang Yao looked at Shen
Xiu with ill intentions. He was very interested in him calling Fang Ming uncle.
“Ah Yao, Professor Shen and I are friends. Little Xiu used to call me that since a long time ago.” Fang Ming held the steering wheel helplessly. Back then, Shen Xiu wanted to call him brother, but with Shen Yu around, Fang Ming did not want to be a generation younger than him, so he let Shen Xiu call him uncle. “Xiao Xiu, you should call me Brother Fang Ming in the future. After all, there’s not much age difference between us.” Fang Ming was afraid that Fang Yao would make things difficult for Shen Xiu because of this, so he took the initiative to ask Shen Xiu to call him Brother.
“Okay, Brother Fang Ming.” After spending days and nights with Fang Yao, Shen Xiu felt that although Fang Yao looked a little bad-tempered, he was still very loyal. He was very big-hearted and never fussed over anything.
“Ah Yao, how are your studies with Professor Zhang?” Before Fang Ming came, he had already asked Shen Yu. Fang Yao’s performance in the training camp was not bad. Not only did he reach the top 10 in the end, but he was also very humble and studious. The teachers praised him.
“It’s quite good. Professor Zhang said that I’m quite talented in this aspect.”
When Fang Ming heard Fang Yao’s words, he finally felt relieved. After all, the main purpose of sending him to the training camp was to let him study business management well so that he could inherit his father’s company in the future.
“Alright, you’ve all worked hard. Rest well for two days after you go home. School is about to start.” Fang Ming sent Yuan Xiao and Shen Xiu home in order before returning to the Fang family with Fang Yao.
“Darling, you’re finally back!” When Wei Lan saw Fang Yao enter with Fang Ming, she rushed over excitedly and hugged him.
“Mom, can you not exaggerate?” Fang Yao struggled out of Wei Lan’s arms. Ever since they were young, Wei Lan had always been like this after being separated for a few days.
“I miss you, okay?” Wei Lan sized Fang Yao up and was relieved to see that he had not lost weight. “Son, how’s your relationship with Xiao Xiao?” Fang Yao said to Wei Lan helplessly, “Mom, I know you’re avant-garde, but shouldn’t you ask me how my studies in the training camp are?”
“I don’t care about your results.” Wei Lan frowned, as if she felt that Fang Yao was still not enlightened. “Xiao Xiao is much more important to me than your results.”
“Xiao Xiao and I are quite good. Mom, you can rest assured.” Fang Yao did not know if he should be happy about his mother’s attitude towards Yuan Xiao. At the very least, there would not be any conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after they got married
“That’s good. Ah Yao, Xiao Xiao is a girl after all. You have to take care of her more.” Wei Lan was afraid that her son’s bad temper would make the girl unhappy.
“I understand.” Fang Yao glanced at the time and felt that it was still early. He decided to go back and study for a while. “Brother, explain a few questions to me when you have time later. I’ll go to the study room first.”
Fang Ming and Wei Lan watched in disbelief as Fang Yao walked straight to the study on the second floor.
“Ah Ming, what’s wrong with your brother? Why is he suddenly so focused on his studies?” Wei Lan could not understand why Fang Yao had suddenly started studying hard.
“He just wants to get into the same university as Xiao Xiao.” Fang Ming smiled and shook his head. “I’m afraid he was agitated when he saw that everyone else was outstanding in the training camp.”
“Then you have to comfort him more. Studying is not everything in life. Don’t tire himself out.” Wei Lan was happy and heartbroken to see Fang Yao engrossed in studying.
“Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to tutor him. Anyway, there’s only half a semester left. There’s nothing wrong with letting him work hard just once.” Fang Ming liked Fang Yao’s current state very much. It was much better than going out to fight and cause trouble every day.
“That’s true. Xiao Xiao’s grades are good. It’s not a good thing for Ah Yao to be left behind too much.” Wei Lan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked Fang Ming, “Is Xiao Xiao a year younger than Fang Yao?” ‘Yes, Xiao Xiao is in her second year of high school this year.”
“Then wont Ah Yao be separated from Xiao Xiao for a year after he goes to university?”
Fang Ming looked at Wei Lan’s worried expression and asked, “Is a year a long time? As long as Xiao Xiao and Ah Yao get into the same university, wont they be able to meet soon?”
“That’s true, but I keep feeling that it’s not good for them to be separated.” Wei Lan did not know why, but she felt that Yuan Xiao’s excellence would put a lot of pressure on her son..
