Too grassy.
Gu Tunan had mixed feelings. Disappointment mixed with disgust, but a sense of happiness also emerged from the disgust.
Although he could not perform marital rituals with Tang Bai, among the candidates other than Tang Bai, Xie Ruheng was the best choice, because Gu Tunan did not want to play the role of a wife to an alpha who was weaker than him.
Xie Ruheng: “?!” What are you so happy about?!
Xie Ruheng took a step back alertly. He prepared himself mentally before walking to Gu Tunan’s side as if facing a formidable enemy.
Tang Bai watched the fateful meeting of the protagonist Gong and Shou and had known from before that the book had arranged the sweet-spicy plot of couple etiquette. However, Brother Xie looked a little uncomfortable. Was he shy?
Although Tang Bai still didn’t like Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan being together, Gu Tunan was getting better little by little, and the feelings of the people involved were the most important thing about love. Brother Xie should also want to receive blessings from his good friends.
Tang Bai made a cheering gesture to Xie Ruheng.
Xie Ruheng: “…” After being cheered on, his mood became even more depressed…
Mo Zheng faced countless envious, jealous and hateful looks with two particularly murderous looks, as he walked to Tang Bai, but the silver-haired Alpha’s eyes were bright as he said energetically: “It’s an honor to be your partner. After many days, we are standing together again.”
What he was referring to was them standing together during the mecha manufacturing competition, when Tang Bai and him were standing on the podium.
Tang Bai smiled politely at Mo Zheng.
“There are a total of five questions on marital etiquette. The first question is a basic knowledge test. Please fill in the answers on the computer.” The teacher said.
The basic knowledge assessment for the first question was relatively simple. What are the three commonly used terms between partners? What should a husband say when he comes home with a lot of work? What should he say when he eats the other person’s food? What should a partner say when he feels uncomfortable… …
Of course, these were simple for Tang Bai, who was prepared for it. A large group of military students who had never seen the etiquette of husband and wife were all confused. According to straight A thinking, they wrote three kinds of names for partners, wife, baby and sweetheart?
I’m late coming home from work. I’m sorry that I can’t leave this time. Can I do it next time?
Isn’t it delicious to eat your partner’s food?
My partner is feeling unwell, you should drink more hot water?
“Ah, this is too difficult. It’s better to just ask, ‘Your mother and your wife both fell into the water, which one should you save?'”
The scoring was done by the partner. When they completed each part, they would get the standard answer on their optical brain. They had to score each other based on the reference answers, and they could also know their own scores in this way.
Gu Tunan originally thought that Xie Ruheng would lose a lot of points on such obscure test questions as husband and wife etiquette, but he didn’t expect that Xie Ruheng could answer it better than him.
He had received etiquette training in this area because of the blind date. How could Xie Ruheng know so much about couple etiquette?
Recalling Xie Ruheng’s calm attitude when he first heard about the test on husband and wife etiquette, looking back now, it could be described as “expected”.
Did Xie Ruheng know the topic in advance?
Gray-blue eyes stared at Xie Ruheng quietly, refusing to let go of the slightest expression on this face. Gu Tunan said seriously: “Xie Ruheng, I regard you as my only opponent. I think you are an upright Alpha, are you not?”
“?”
Could it be that this honest question was not about his character, but his sexual orientation?!
Xie Ruheng realized it!
Xie Ruheng said resolutely: “I am.”
Gu Tunan felt the solemnity in Xie Ruheng’s tone. He thought that Xie Ruheng, like him, regarded him as his only opponent. He felt deeply and said sympathetically: “You are very good, you are my only opponent.”
Xie Ruheng: “…”
Soon they came to the second question. This question was how to become harmonious if the life of a couple was not harmonious.
The scoring point for this question was based on the fact that the candidates would use a dialogue mode to list several aspects that cause disharmony in a couple’s life, and propose solutions based on couple etiquette. In this mode, they were both partners and competitors.
Xie Ruheng answered first: “In terms of money, for example, if poor and lowly couples are in trouble, there may be financial management conflicts…”
Ding, Xie Ruheng 1 point.
Gu Tunan then answered: “In terms of family, such as conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, conflicts between sisters-in-law…”
Ding, Gu Tunan 1 point.
Xie Ruheng’s eyes narrowed slightly: “In terms of three views…”
Gu Tunan did not shy away: “In terms of personality…”
After a few back and forth, the relationship between the two and the desire to win was completely aroused, but almost all the scoring points that could be said were mentioned. Xie Ruheng was angry and said in a straight voice: “In terms of sexual life, if the husband is impotent! Don’t mention it!”
After he finished speaking, he was staring at Gu Tunan with burning eyes, “Can you name any other points? Don’t tell me you can’t do it!”
Gu Tunan: “…”
Nannan is angry, Nannan is aggrieved, but there is nothing Nannan can do!
Next, there were random questions. Each group would draw different random questions. Tang Bai drew a relatively dull question about what clothes to wear and what gifts to bring when visiting his partner’s house for the first time. But he saw many exciting group draws. There were even drinking together, exchanging rings and reading the wedding vows.
Two fierce guys vomited at each other after drinking a glass of wine.
The alpha who exchanged optical brain ring with his foot-picking roommate had put on a mask of pain.
The alpha looked psychedelic as he read the wedding vows to his classmate who was even taller and more majestic than him.
Later, other etiquette contents were tested. Tang Bai partnered with several classmates and had a great time working together.
At the end of the exam, the scores of all the candidates were listed in order of high and low. Xie Ruheng’s high score attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone knew that etiquette exams were not good for civilian students. In previous years, aristocratic students had excelled in etiquette exams. Everyone knew that this kind of exam was to give privileges to nobles and block the advancement path of civilians. But who let their family origin be low? Well, family background was also a type of strength.
“Tch, I guess he just got the right bet by luck.” A noble student muttered.
Qiu Yan said loudly: “Luck is also a kind of strength!”
Most of the military students took a look at their results and went to more important things –
“Did you just call me wife?! Let’s go out and fight. Fight, let’s see who is the father!”
In the lively atmosphere of everyone fighting, Tang Bai saw Qin Jun hurriedly leaving with his head lowered.
He heard that the Cheng family cut off their tails to survive this time, treating the entire Qin family as an abandoned pawn. Qin Jun, who used to rely on his family to dominate, had now become a street rat. He had offended too many people in the past, and his days to come would be very sad.
It seemed that the plot of Qin Jun tampering with Xie Ruheng’s mecha in the underground arena should not happen.
“There will be a physical fitness test tomorrow. You should stop training today and recharge your batteries.” Xie Ruheng walked up to Tang Bai and warned him.
Tang Bai looked away and asked Xie Ruheng: “Brother Xie, don’t you have anything to ask?” For example, why were his questions so accurate?
“Of course you will tell me when you want to say something. Everyone has secrets, and I also have something to hide from you.” Xie Ruheng said.
Tang Bai was moved and suddenly felt that these words sounded familiar. Xiao Cheng seemed to have also said this to him.
To be honest, Xiao Cheng and Brother Xie really had a lot of similarities. If it weren’t for their different genders and different sizes of chest muscles, Tang Bai would have suspected that they were the same person.
But how was this possible hahahaha.
….
Lu Xiaoshan was watching the live broadcast at Mr. Ling’s house. The live broadcast showed the Qin family being put on trial.
Thinking of his father’s torture, Lu Xiaoshan clenched his fists unconsciously.
“Xiao Shan, you told me before that you decided not to study anymore and wanted to be an underground arena star like Brother Xiao Xie.” Mr. Ling suddenly said.
Lu Xiaoshan nodded without hesitation.
“Do you like flying mechas, or do you want to make money early?” Mr. Ling looked into Lu Xiaoshan’s eyes and asked softly.
“I want them all.” There was a kind of competition in the underground arena where talented children and adults fought together. The disability rate was high, but the rewards were also very generous.
Lu Xiaoshan knew that although his father returned safely, his health would never get better, but it didn’t matter, he could become the backbone of the family.
“I know there is a path that may be more suitable for you than being an underground arena racer.”
Looking at Lu Xiaoshan’s confused eyes, Mr. Ling’s heart suddenly softened: “The Federal Military Academy will hold a youth mecha driving competition every year from now on. If you can get a good ranking in this competition, you will get a scholarship and the opportunity to study in the elementary school affiliated with the Federal Military Academy.”
“Is it the same as the youth art competition held by the etiquette academy?!” Jiang Quan asked happily.
Hearing this, the other children came over one after another, “Wow! I want to sign up too!” “But I can’t drive a mecha.” “Neither can I…”
They all raised their little hands as high as they could. For children who were just this tall, Mr. Ling said with a smile: “You can all sign up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. After our school is built, students from the mecha department of the Federal Military Academy will come to the new school to teach. You should concentrate on your studies then, and try your best to get a good ranking, you know?”
Lu Xiaoshan knew that Jiang Quan got the opportunity to study in the primary school affiliated with the Etiquette College because of his previous graffiti works. When Jiang Quan reached school going age in the second half of the year, he could go to brother Tang Tang’s alma mater. He had been secretly envious of this matter for a while.
“Sir, is this true?” Lu Xiaoshan confirmed carefully.
“It’s true, your brother Xie told me.”
Lu Xiaoshan was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. Mr. Ling touched Lu Xiaoshan’s head. Through Lu Xiaoshan, he seemed to see the Xie Ruheng of back then, who was also so young. The child had a dark color in his eyes that was so thick that it couldn’t be removed: “He doesn’t want you to follow his old path.”
“He hopes that you can all live in the sun and grow up safely and happily.”
