When saying "I will be your maid", Song Xingye stared at Xu Zhe's face seriously, trying to find out something from his expression.

But there was only shock on Xu Zhe's face.

"There are no maids in real life. Do you think this is a girls' comic?!"

At this time, the debuff from not sleeping all night seemed to have disappeared. Song Xingye was in high spirits and his mind was working rapidly.

She immediately asked again: "Don't you need a maid?"

Xu Zhe: "Why would I need a maid?"

Song Xingye analyzed seriously: "If you have a maid, you don't need to worry about homework when you go to high school. The maid can help you with anything she knows how to do. In addition to homework, she can also help you with many trivial matters in life."

Xu Zhe: "I live with my parents..."

Song Xingye: "Yes, so what I mean is, in the future, if my father can't make any money, then I will have no choice but to..."

Xu Zhe wanted to complain, "You don't look like you're being forced at all," but he held back the words. He could probably guess what this girl was thinking at the moment.

However, if we really go to college and both of us are adults, if Song Xingye wants to take the initiative to be his "maid"... Although the style of painting is a bit strange, it seems pretty good, right?

Of course, it's too early to say anything now.

Xu Zhe knocked the girl's head and said, "Don't think too much. Study hard and have fun. You can be Tang Lingfei's tutor when you have nothing to do. Don't consider other careers. Okay."

Song Xingye held her head, looking as if she was hurt, but the smile that could not be resisted betrayed her true emotions at the moment.

She just noticed that Xu Zhe's refusal was not firm. In other words, Xu Zhe only said 'not now', not 'not in the future'.

All of a sudden, the girl understood more deeply what it meant to say "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise".

If Feifei or Shen Lan were to do the same thing, could they do it?

Tonight, when Song Huaifeng returned home, it was already past nine o'clock.

Li Caixia had already changed into her pajamas at home and was applying a facial mask. Seeing her husband coming back, she asked, "Are you the last one to leave the store today? I can't bully you every time, can I?"

Song Huaifeng shook his head: "I was actually borrowing the computer from the store to help Xu Zhe."

Li Caixia: "Isn't he going to make a game? You didn't major in this, how can you help?"

Song Huaifeng: "The new game is online. This time it is released simultaneously in China and abroad, and the price of both is nearly one million yuan. This price is considered a normal mobile game price abroad, but in China, not many people are willing to pay for it."

Li Caixia: "So what kind of job do you want to do?"

Song Huaifeng: "Help me find someone to post and video promotion online. Xu Zhe allocated me a sum of money specifically for this purpose. In addition to spending money to find people, I also opened many accounts online to post promotional posts for the game."

Li Caixia doubted: "Will this work?"

Song Huaifeng: "You have to try it to know whether it works or not. This is the first time for me to do this kind of work, and it's quite interesting. Besides work, I am also learning some things on my own. Xu Zhe also sent me some introductory materials on programming and game design, so that I can try it myself and see which direction I can work towards."

Li Caixia: "You are already 40 years old. Isn't it too late to study now?"

Song Huaifeng smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Mr. Kenduji started his business in his sixties and still built such a big company. It's never too late as long as you are capable and able to learn."

Although Li Caixia still had her doubts, she could not say anything negative when she saw how motivated her husband was. She just said, "You can't be away from home too much. You still have to come back to spend time with the children."

Song Huaifeng smiled: "Does the child still need my company? Haha. And I am working hard now so that she will not shrink back due to inferiority complex when making friends in the future. I don't want her to think about how to save money for dinner and then quietly shrink aside when facing the person she likes in the future."

Li Caixia was immediately moved: "Husband..."

But at this moment, the door of the small room opened.

Song Xingye, wearing long-sleeved pajamas, appeared at the door: "Dad, you don't have to work so hard."

Song Huaifeng said with a smile: "How can I not fight? My child, Dad has told you that you don't have to worry about anything. Dad will definitely support you in the future."

Song Xingye: "No, Dad..."

Song Huaifeng waved his hand: "Stop talking, there's nothing to say, don't worry about it."

The girl looked conflicted, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it. Finally, she couldn't help but stamp her feet, turned around and closed the door.

Li Caixia: "What's wrong with this child?"

Song Huaifeng smiled with satisfaction and said, "You have grown up, become sensible, and know how to feel sorry for your father..."

----

Song Xingye sat on the bed, holding a high school physics textbook and opened the first page.

Today, her class teacher gave her a day off to adjust her schedule and get a good night's sleep. After taking a nap, she borrowed some high school textbooks from her cousin and brought them back home.

In order to attend classes tomorrow, you need to get a good night's sleep tonight. Study hard for a while before going to bed, expend some energy, and then you can fall asleep feeling tired.

Moreover, she had already realized that if she wanted to continue to be in the same class with Xu Zhe in high school, she must study science well because Xu Zhe would definitely choose the science class.

The high school curriculum these days is that students learn both arts and science in their first year of high school, and are divided into arts and science classes in their second year of high school. In addition to the three subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, arts students have to learn history, ideology and geography, and science students have to learn physics, chemistry and biology.

Song Xingye had discovered long ago that she did not have a strong talent in physics and chemistry. So if she wanted to keep up with Xu Zhe, she naturally had to prepare early. Anyway, she had already learned the knowledge of the third year of junior high school, so it was not a problem. So it was normal for her to start preparing for the first year of high school now.

As she was learning, the girl suddenly murmured to herself:

"I have to work hard, otherwise I won't be able to be with him in high school, which would be a big loss. I have to work hard in high school so that I can go to the same university as him. Can I relax in college?... Well, if I don't work hard in college, will I have no choice but to be his maid?"

Thinking of this, Song Xingye couldn't help but put a longing smile on her little face.

She could already imagine the future.

Seeing that the college student they had cultivated with great difficulty had become someone's personal maid, the parents were heartbroken and said, "How could you do this? How could you be so self-degrading!"

She was wearing a maid outfit, holding Xu Zhe, and turned around and said, "I'm happy to do it!"

Although she felt that this was not very good and seemed a little unfilial, the girl couldn't help but smile happily.

176. Chapter 176 175 Xiao Ye's Prediction

176.

2023-09-26

In the history class, Xu Zhe opened his textbook and listened for a few minutes like other students, then silently took out his cell phone.

He clicked on the official website of the National Computer Association and found the login entrance on the page for the middle school student competition. He had logged in twice before, but it was the third time that he finally saw the updated information - he passed the preliminary round and was notified to participate in the semi-finals.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although he has sufficient confidence in his programming foundation, he has the habit of not being able to rest assured until he sees tangible results. Now that the preliminary round has come to an end, it is time to contact a senior student as agreed with him.

He sent a text message to Shen Lan: [I passed the preliminary round, see you in the semi-final exam room.]

At this time, the history teacher on the podium was still talking nonstop: "Everyone should know that the dividing line between the ancient and medieval times in the West is the fall of the Western Roman Empire..."

Xu Zhe raised his head and muttered casually: "Jing Luo is crying."

Song Xingye on the side: "What?"

Xu Zhe: "Oh, nothing, just continue with the class."

Song Xingye looked at him and smiled faintly: "You seem to be in a good mood."

Xu Zhe: "It's OK. I just saw the notification that I passed the preliminary round."

Song Xingye: "The preliminary round of the informatics competition? You can make games independently, so are you worried about not being able to pass the preliminary round?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Indeed, but I will feel relieved only when I see the facts in front of me."

Song Xingye asked again: "When are we going to the semi-finals?"

Xu Zhe: “The weekend after Double Eleven.”

"Double Eleven," the girl chewed on the word, "Will you celebrate Singles' Day?"

Taobao has already started the Double 11 Shopping Festival, but the transaction volume is far from as impressive as in the following years. Now in everyone's mind, November 11 seems to be just a Singles' Day that netizens make fun of.

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I think being single is a very good lifestyle habit. When the time comes, I will cook two more dishes for myself to celebrate the festival."

Song Xingye was about to speak but stopped.

The girl subconsciously wanted to ask if she could go and try some of the dishes since they were going to cook two more dishes. But then she thought, it wasn't the weekend, and going to his house after school, in front of his parents... seemed a little weird.

After all, we are not childhood sweethearts, and our homes are not close enough, so I can't go whenever I want.

But at this time, Song Xingye realized another problem.

Since Xu Zhe passed the preliminary round, what about Senior Sister Shen Lan? Senior Sister Shen Lan may have passed as well, so in the semi-final, won't these two meet again?

Song Xingye believed that Xu Zhe would not prepare anything for this meeting, but it was hard to say about the senior sister...

In that case, should we do something?

The girl quietly took out her cell phone and sent a text message to her best friend.

----

During lunch, Xu Zhe was still with his closest friends.

Sitting next to him was Wen Hao, and across the table were Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye.

When we started eating, Wenhao was chatting happily. Starting from something the history teacher talked about in class, he pointed out the reasons for the fall of the empire.

"...So, the empire shouldn't have been divided into two parts, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to be defeated when facing the barbarian invasion. Don't you think so?"

After Wen Hao finished speaking, he looked around, trying to find a sense of identity. However, he sadly found that his brilliant ideas were not appreciated as they should be. The two girls opposite him just said "hmm" perfunctorily, and it was unclear what they were actually discussing. And his good friend next to him didn't even perfunctorily respond.

Xu Zhe suddenly asked back: "Then why did the Roman Empire split into two? Why did the barbarians invade?"

Wenhao: "Who knows? I'm just stupid."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "My idea is that no one is that stupid. There must be a reason. If you are really interested, you can try to check the effectiveness of the Roman Empire's expansion in the later period, as well as the weather records of that era. Maybe you will find some new discoveries."

Wen Hao asked doubtfully: "Have you checked?"

Xu Zhe smiled but said nothing. He was not a die-hard history buff, but he had seen a lot of arguments about history and military matters online, and a lot of different viewpoints and arguments.

Wenhao scratched his head, suddenly felt a little bored, and lowered his head to pick up some food.

Tang Lingfei suddenly asked, "Xu Zhe, you are going to the provincial capital to participate in the semi-finals in a few days, right?"

"correct."

"Can you take me with you? It's Saturday and Sunday anyway, and I want to go out and have some fun, so I can go with you. Oh, and Xiao Ye can go too."

Faced with this request from his childhood sweetheart, Xu Zhe gave it some thought.

Considering the aggression shown by Senior Sister Shen Lan when they met last time, he felt that it might be necessary to bring an amulet. He did not reject Shen Lan. On the contrary, he actually had a lot of good feelings for her. But starting with her so early... forget it.

Even without talking about rational reasons, he still felt a little uncomfortable just thinking about being as close as lovers.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay. Then we'll just treat it as a two-day trip to the provincial capital."

Wen Hao on the side suddenly asked: "Why don't you invite me?"

Xu Zhe: "Will your parents agree?"

Wenhao looked dissatisfied: "But will their parents agree?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "We also have to go back and tell our parents, so we can't be 100% sure about this."

Xu Zhe: "If you want to go home and tell your parents about this, you'd better think about what to say in advance. So, suppose I'm your father, and you come and tell me."

Wenhao: "Why are you my father?"

Xu Zhe: "This is just to help you put yourself in that situation. Come on, don't be vague, tell me now."

Wen Hao hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Dad, I want to go out with Xu Zhe for a weekend in a few days. Do you think it's okay? You know Xu Zhe. He is the best student in our class and always ranks first in the grade."

Xu Zhe: "Son..."

A vein faintly appeared on Wenhao's forehead: "My dad doesn't talk like that, just say your lines directly!"

Xu Zhe: "Don't be so impatient, kid. Okay, let's get down to business. Where are you going? An Internet cafe all night?"

Wen Hao: "No, no, I'm going to the provincial capital. Well, Xu Zhe is going to participate in the informatics competition, I'm going to watch and play with them in the provincial capital."

Xu Zhe deliberately said, "Oh, they are going to participate in the competition to get extra points for the high school entrance exam. What about you? Are you just going to fool around and play with them?"

Wen Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he looked dejected: "Forget it, don't act anymore, I don't think my dad will agree..."
