Chapter 138: A wave of commercial mutual flattery

Standing at the back door of the classroom, Qin Tian hesitated whether to retreat and wait for Xia Nuannuan and his future father-in-law to leave before entering.

It wasn't that he was afraid, he just felt it would be awkward.

"Brother Tian, go in, why are you standing here!"

Zhang Peng behind him saw him blocking the door, poked his head out to look in the direction of his gaze, and instantly realized.

Zhang Peng glanced at Qin Tian, a cheeky smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Qin Tian was about to say something, he heard Zhang Peng suddenly shout: "Xia Nuannuan, do you need a bag?"

His expression stiffened, and he looked at this jerk in astonishment.

Xia Nuannuan and Old Xia beside her heard the shout and looked toward the two.

Seeing Qin Tian standing at the door, Old Xia's smile remained unchanged, but a sharp light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Are there any extra?"

Xia Nuannuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we asked for quite a few!"

Zhang Peng hurried over quickly and handed over the cleanest large bag in his hand.

"Thank you, that's a big help."

Xia Nuannuan thanked him.

"Hello, Uncle, my name is Zhang Peng, I'm a good friend of Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan."

Zhang Peng greeted Xia Zhengping with a bright smile.

"Hello, hello!"

Xia Zhengping nodded in response with a smile.

"Uncle Xia, long time no see!"

Qin Tian also bit the bullet and walked over, greeted him with a smile, and stepped on Zhang Peng's foot with force.

Zhang Peng grimaced in pain and pulled his foot away forcefully.

"Heh heh... Uncle, you chat with Qin Tian, I'm going to pack my things."

After saying this, Zhang Peng turned and ran away limping.

Xia Zhengping saw all the little actions of the two, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

After Xia Nuannuan put the bag on the chair, she busied herself with stacking her books and study materials neatly inside.

Including Cui Ying and Qiu Man in the front, the surrounding students who smelled the change in atmosphere were all looking at the two with shining eyes, expecting a good show.

"It's been almost two months, right?"

Xia Zhengping asked with a full smile.

"Yes."

Qin Tian nodded and said lightly: "You seem to have lost quite a bit of weight, you look even more handsome."

The students around heard this and rolled their eyes in all directions.

"Hahaha... I also feel like I've lost a bit, I've been eating less lately."

Xia Zhengping laughed and rubbed his belly, accepting this flattery.

Everyone was dumbfounded, carefully sizing up this round middle-aged man, and expressed deep doubt about the words of the two.

"Is this the Qin Tian you were talking about?"

Cui Ying's father bent over and asked his daughter in a low voice.

"Mhm!"

Cui Ying nodded.

"Sure enough, he's a capable young man!"

Cui's father raised his hand to stroke his chin, and sighed with a thoughtful smile.

Subsequently, Qin Tian chatted with Old Xia while packing his books.

"Nuannuan was in the top twenty of the grade in the last mock exam, thanks to you, Uncle has to say thank you!"

Xia Zhengping thanked him with a gentle smile.

"Uncle, you're too kind, this is all the result of her own hard work."

Qin Tian hurriedly smiled and said.

Xia Zhengping raised his hand with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Young man, excessive humility is not good."

"Dad, you're right."

Xia Nuannuan looked up at the two and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Qin Tian was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"I heard from Nuannuan that your goal is Jiangcheng University?"

Xia Zhengping asked with a smile.

As soon as this was said, the students around looked at the two in shock.

"Yes, we are preparing to go to Jiangcheng University."

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan exchanged a smile and answered calmly.

"With your grades, you could definitely get into Tsinghua or Peking University, no regrets?"

Xia Zhengping asked again.

Qin Tian shook his head with a smile: "Originally my goal was Jiangcheng University, so there's no talk of regrets."

Xia Zhengping stared at him for a while, smiled and said: "Jiangcheng University is also pretty good."

"Yes."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

Several parents who didn't know what was going on were shocked after learning about Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan's situation from their own children.

Basically, all parents believed that falling in love in high school would inevitably have a negative impact on academic performance.

Yet this boy in front of them was the grade first who had scored extremely exaggeratedly in two exams?

And this girl beside him had been able to make such great progress in just two months for this boy?

For a time, several parents doubted their own cognition.

Could it be that they were wrong?

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xia Nuannuan had packed her things.

The snake-skin bag was full of books and study materials, and some remaining things were packed in her backpack.

"Uncle Xia, let me help you!"

Qin Tian picked up the snake-skin bag, preparing to send them out of the school gate first.

"No need, you go ahead and get busy, come, give it to me."

Xia Zhengping beckoned.

"It's fine, let me do it!"

Qin Tian said with a bright smile.

"What did I come here for? I've been busy with work outside, it's not easy to come pick Nuannuan up, Little Qin, don't fight with me!"

Xia Zhengping feigned a serious expression.

"What are you guys doing!"

Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes, unable to hold back, and said to Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, just listen to my dad, what's there to fight about."

"Alright!"

Qin Tian smiled helplessly, picked up the bag weighing several dozen catties, and handed it to his future father-in-law with both hands.

"Be careful, Uncle, this is a bit heavy!"

He reminded him.

"It's fine, just some books, not bricks, what is this!"

Xia Zhengping said with an indifferent expression, taking the bag with one hand.

"It's really a bit heavy!"

Qin Tian was a bit worried and didn't dare to let go.

Xia Zhengping said calmly: "It's fine, you can let go."

Seeing this, Qin Tian didn't dare to say anything more, carefully letting go.

Xia Zhengping's expression changed, and the bag in his hand sank suddenly.

Fortunately, Qin Tian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, helping to grab it again.

"Cough cough..."

Xia Zhengping grabbed the bag opening with his other hand, cleared his throat with an awkward expression, and smiled sheepishly: "Is, is it a bit heavy?"

If his face hadn't been thickened by the business world, he would have been blushing by now.

While feeling awkward in his heart, he was also very surprised.

Just now, seeing Qin Tian carrying it so easily, he never expected it to be so heavy.

He never expected this kid, who didn't look very strong, to have such great strength, comparable to when he was young.

Subsequently, with Qin Tian's help, Old Xia carried the heavy bag onto his shoulder.

"Little Qin, thank you!"

"It's fine, it's fine."

"As expected of a young man, you have great strength."

"Uncle, you're also very strong, I couldn't carry it as easily as you."

Qin Tian smiled heartily, engaging in a wave of commercial mutual flattery with his future father-in-law.

Xia Nuannuan beside them covered her forehead with her hand, feeling a bit ashamed to be seen.

The students and parents around watched this scene, their expressions somewhat strange.
