On the afternoon of the day when it was decided to hold the SOS final exam ranking competition, after the bell rang for the end of school, Chun Yue did not go to the ministry with Xuzi as before, or rushed out with his schoolbag as soon as he got out of school, but stood in his seat and said lightly to Xuzi:

"Today I'm going to the library to prepare for the final exam, so I'm not going to the department."

Although Chun Yue seemed to be talking to herself, she was obviously talking to Xuzi.

The little sluggish Xuzi didn't know if Chun said this to her simply to inform her, or did he let the others in SOS inform her by the way when she went to the ministry?

Or is there something else that does it mean?

Although I don't understand it very well, it seems to be a bit of a bit if I don't rejuvenate at this time...... After all, the two of them just used their results to make a bet, and they didn't become enemies, so it's not good not to talk at all.

"W-That...... I'm not going to go to the ministry today.

I, me and Chu Xuan are going to ...... Secret training. ”

For some reason, Xuzi was always a little weak when he mentioned Chu Xuan in front of Chun Yue.

But this time with the two of them is another member of the SOS group, Yuki, so Xuzi doesn't have to be so babbling, as if he is doing something unseemly.

"Yes."

Chun Yue didn't seem to have any interest in Xuzi and Chu Xuan's secret special training, so he responded casually with an expressionless face, and walked away with his schoolbag alone.

Belch...... Chun said that this woman's attitude towards the enemy is really ruthless enough, it's just a small informal competition, and it's not a college entrance exam, so why don't you take it so seriously?

After Chun Yue left alone, Xuzi also left the school with Chu Xuan and Youxi, a place for secret special training...... Of course, in the high-end apartment where Chu Xuan and Youxi live together.

"Hey......

Mom, it's me......

Because I had to prepare for the final exam and study at my classmates' homes, I didn't go back to dinner and ...... in the evening

What the? No, it's not, what are you thinking? It's a female classmate's home!

Um, well, I know...... A change of clothes?

No, it's summer, and after washing and drying, you'll be ready to wear the next morning.

Uh-huh, I know, that's it, bye-bye. ”

Halfway through, Xuzi, who had finished the call, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she skillfully called her gossipy mother and told her that she was going to stay at Yuki's house tonight to tutor with her - which should not be considered a lie, for some reason, she felt very stressed about hiding some very important facts from her mother.

But I'm sorry, Mom, your daughter is studying hard and living up to your expectations!

- Of course, your daughter will not forget to protect her virginity.

"Okay, the family has taken care of it."

Xuzi sighed a little in his heart, and then put away his phone.

"Huh? This road...... Doesn't seem like you're going home, right? ”

Xuzi, who finished making the call, found that he had just finished talking to his mother, and he actually followed Chu Xuan and Youxi all the way and didn't know where he was going, so he couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Buy the ingredients."

Chu Xuan replied to her briefly, and Xuzi realized that Chu Xuan and Youxi had always cooked by themselves.

- Before, because I always felt a little embarrassed to inquire about Chu Xuan and Youxi's private lives, Xuzi had always deliberately avoided this topic in the conversation.

"Yo-Chu Xuan, come here!

I specially left you a good product, such a large Ise lobster, very rare! ”

As soon as he entered the nearby shopping street that only housewives frequented, the shopkeeper's uncle, who sold aquatic products, greeted Chu Xuan warmly.

Chu Xuan moved to the door of the aquatic product shop with Youxi and Xuzi on the left and right sides, pushed down his reflective glasses, just glanced at the super big lobster casually, and said to the shopkeeper's uncle happily:

"Bought it."

"Okay, I'll pick some of the other fresh and seasonal aquatic products for you?"

As the shopkeeper spoke, he began to pick all kinds of seafood into the crisper box with ice cubes, which was almost enough for the Xuzi family to have a seafood feast.

And Chu Xuan not only did not stop the shopkeeper uncle, but nodded as if he was accustomed to it, and specially added:

"One more kilogram of deep-sea fish."

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper's uncle listened to Chu Xuan's words, and neatly added another kilogram of weight to the heavy fresh-keeping box.

Then he moved this crisper with both hands, which was not only exceptionally clean and without the slightest fishy smell of aquatic products, but also had a strap on it, and looked at Chu Xuan and the three of them with some ambiguity and asked:

"Anyway, you two came back early today.

This unseen face here is ...... This one? ”

"What! I'm not a lover, a lover! ”

The shopkeeper's uncle grinned and gestured his little finger, and although Xuzi knew he was joking, he was still ashamed and angry.

Although Chu Xuan and Youxi did not make any response to the joke of the shopkeeper's uncle, the shopkeeper's uncle was not angry, but warmly greeted them and said that if there were good goods tomorrow, they would keep them for him.

Well...... This is a matter of course, this increasingly sluggish shopping street is becoming more and more vibrant again precisely because of the existence of Chu Xuan, a local tyrant who makes people very eager to make friends with him.

There is no one who doesn't like a shopkeeper who sells ingredients like this, right?

Compared with the newly opened supermarkets in the vicinity, the shops on the shopping street could be more flexible to leave the best ingredients to Chu Xuan, and even buy some good goods that were difficult to find locally for him, so he successfully kept this local tyrant on his side.

And the low-price strategy and time-limited half-price strategy that supermarkets are proud of are not attractive to Chu Xuan, a local tyrant.

If it weren't for the fact that supermarkets occasionally have some fresh and high-quality but very expensive foreign and even foreign ingredients for sale, then the opportunity to hook up with this local tyrant will definitely be completely lost.

Seeing that Chu Xuan, who seemed to be a saint warrior carrying a box of holy clothes, already had a box of aquatic products on his back, and continued to sprinkle a lot of money under the greeting of the butcher shop, vegetable shop, fruit store, and even the owner of the grain store, and bought many luxury ingredients that the Xuzi family would only buy during the New Year's holidays, and he didn't pay back the price once along the way, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yuxi, you, do you usually buy groceries like this?

Don't break the bank for a small ......"

Xuzi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Yuki in an unusually humble tone. (To be continued.) )
