The Rebirth of My Father in the Body of an Aloof Academic Genius

Chapter 47

Lin ChuSui returned home, Xu SongBai and Ms. Fang YouYi were both sitting in the living room.

Xu SongBai was peeling melon seeds, one by one, peeling them and placing them on a small dish, handing it to Fang YouYi's side.

Fang YouYi was looking at project reports on her iPad, eyes glued to it, directly swallowing the peeled melon seeds in one mouthful.

In fact, Lin ChuSui had to admit that although Xu SongBai was "ruthless" in educating children, he was really considerate to Fang YouYi.

Old Mr. Lin was not a family man, he regarded his career very importantly, even at the cost of violating his grandparents' wish for him to inherit the family business, he had already chosen to become a firefighter.

Perhaps this was also why Fang YouYi would choose to be with Xu SongBai, after experiencing separation of life and death, she now needed a husband who would always put family first.

No matter what, Lin ChuSui could not bring herself to like this stepfather, but it didn't matter if she didn't like him, as long as her mother was happy.

Lin ChuSui politely greeted Xu SongBai, then listened to Fang YouYi's exhortations about studying, and silently returned to her room.

After closing the door, changing from her demure appearance, she rolled excitedly on the bed several times, took out her phone, and was about to report today's "situation" to Lu TianBai.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Your dear brother."

"Welcome."

Xu JiaNing pushed the door and walked in. His warm sweater looked especially homey in the light: "Don't use it randomly if you don't know it well. You can directly say 'coming please' when inviting someone into the room."

"So dear brother came to my room to practice English with me?"

Xu JiaNing closed the door and listened next to it to make sure XiaoHuangQue was not following behind.

Lin ChuSui's mouth curled up: "Are you that cautious?"

"You don't know how scary a homemaking Cancer man can be."

Lin ChuSui: "I think Cancer's reputation is maligned. Sir just has an extremely controlling patriarchal personality."

Xu JiaNing: "Yes he is."

"If you keep pulling this ABC with me, I'm just going to GTFO."

Xu JiaNing was too lazy to chit chat, and got straight to the point: "I heard from Lu TianBai that you and Xiao Yan have been getting close lately?"

"What's going on between you and Lu TianBai?" Lin ChuSui was shocked: "How does she tell you everything!"

"Compared to you, she's more like the ideal younger sister I envisioned."

"That's enough. Anyone can see that she doesn't have pure sibling affection for you."

Xu JiaNing pulled the topic back: "Are you with Xiao Yan now?"

"None of your business." Lin ChuSui didn't want to discuss this with Xu JiaNing. She sat down at the desk and opened her textbook: "Please leave, I have homework to do."

"If you are really together, as your legal brother..." Xu JiaNing walked over to her and whispered in her ear: "I suggest you keep a low profile, a low low profile. Once old Xu finds out..."

He gave a cold laugh: "He will make you cry sadly."

"You're trying to scare me?" Lin ChuSui didn't seem to take his words to heart: "I'm not afraid of him at all."

"I suggest you be a little afraid."

"Why should I?"

"Because he can easily crush your boyfriend who is slowly crawling up like a snail, and press him firmly into the mud for life, never to get up again."

After Xu JiaNing said this, Lin ChuSui's face instantly turned pale, and she grabbed his clothes forcefully: "What right does he have!"

"Because he is now your dear dad-in-law." Xu JiaNing gently patted her head: "So be good, this is your brother's advice."

After speaking, he turned and left. Lin ChuSui watched his back: "Brother, don't you want to rebel at all?"

Xu JiaNing tilted his head, and she quickly added: "Let's rise up in revolt then."

"Why revolt?"

"Because of Sir's tyranny!"

Xu JiaNing put his hands in his pockets, casually said: "Society, family... they all have their rules of operation, there is no absolute fairness. If you want to break the rules, you will inevitably smash your head and bleed. Smart kids should learn to reconcile with the rules, and within the limited freedom, use the rules to gain maximum benefit for themselves."

Lin ChuSui had never heard anyone say this before. Lu Chi, Lu TianBai, Zhang Cheng Yu and the others, they had always risen up to rebel against unfair things with her. The word "reconcile" did not exist in these rebellious children's dictionary.

"Has your father never..." Lin ChuSui carefully chose her words: "Never indulged or compromised with you on anything?"

"He's not old Mr. Lin." Xu JiaNing glanced at Lin ChuSui: "Old Mr. Lin must have been a great dad, but Xu SongBai isn't."

...

Xu JiaNing's words left a shadow in Lin ChuSui's mind that wasn't big but wouldn't go away.

She finished her homework and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.

At first, she really hated Xu JiaNing, hated him for no reason.

His hypocrisy, his two-facedness, the way he pretended to be a good boy in front of parents and teachers... Everything about him made Lin ChuSui unable to adapt.

But now, Lin ChuSui finally understood him a little.

Only children who grew up in a loving environment have the right to be willful.

Xu JiaNing and Xiao Yan were not those kinds of kids, so they would interact with others in a smarter way.

She sent Xu JiaNing a text: "I get it, I'll be careful."

After sending it, she added four more words: "Thank you, brother."

In the room, Xu JiaNing's mouth slightly pursed when he saw the word "brother".

...

After thanking Xu JiaNing, Lin ChuSui wanted to text Xiao Yan, but when she looked for his name in her contacts, she remembered that she had deleted Xiao Yan.

Lin ChuSui copied his phone number and re-added Xiao Yan.

Since Xiao Yan didn't delete her, adding him instantly worked.

"Boyfriend genius, if my mom gave you 500 million and forced you to break up with me, what would you do?"

Xiao Yan immediately replied without thinking: "Use part of it to study, use the rest to start a business, and if there's any left over, choose some risky investments."

"..."

Does this boyfriend not have a heart!

She righteously lambasted: "Is our relationship not worth a mere 5 million?"

After speaking, she was about to block Xiao Yan again, but saw that Xiao Yan had sent a voice message.

Lin ChuSui impatiently clicked to open it, and his low, magnetic voice came through―

"Use the money to start a business and bankrupt your family, then keep you imprisoned by my side. Is this answer standard enough?"

Lin ChuSui: ...

As expected of the study god's script.

...

At the end of the year, it entered the final exam preparation stage. Lin ChuSui settled down and got up early and slept late every day, studying diligently. Her diligence was almost on par with Xu JiaNing who had his head muddled by love.

After working hard, when the final grades came out, she had only managed to get 205th in her grade after exerting all her effort.

This was already the best grade Lin ChuSui had ever gotten.

However, the matter of her and Xiao Yan switching places was set in stone.

Teacher Qin had planned and schemed for it the entire semester. Grades were grades, puppy love was puppy love, they absolutely could not be confused.

He was indeed an experienced senior teacher, with a wealth of experience in his past teaching career. He had seen too many top students ruined by puppy love, and even more terrible cases of underage pregnancy that had extremely harmful effects.

He absolutely could not condone or indulge any signs of such tendencies, even the tiniest spark had to be completely extinguished.

Many female classmates had signed up with Teacher Qin, hoping to become deskmates with Xiao Yan next semester to learn from him. There were few male students, only the half-baked Lu Chi.

Teacher Qin felt a little complicated.

Of course he knew what these female students were thinking. Xiao Yan was very popular, he was not unaware of this. How many of these girls really wanted to be deskmates with him to study?

They were more interested in the musician than the music.

After careful consideration, Teacher Qin decided to have Lu Chi and Lin ChuSui switch seats, so that Lu Chi sat with Xiao Yan, and Lin ChuSui sat with Xu JiaNing. This was the most prudent arrangement.

After class, Teacher Qin called Lin ChuSui and Lu Chi to the office and told them about the seat change.

Lin ChuSui glared at Lu Chi all the way: "You got a good deal."

Lu Chi shrugged: "Since you only got a 250, if I don't give you a good deal, those girls who are like hungry wolves will get it. It's up to you to choose."

The two came to the office. The other teachers around saw Lin ChuSui and couldn't help praising: "Lin has made great progress."

"Yeah, she actually didn't get any of the ancient poetry questions in Chinese wrong, rare."

Before Lin ChuSui could speak, Teacher Qin took the chance to boast about himself:

"Although I'm the new homeroom teacher for the senior three class, I have experience!"

"When she first came, this girl was very naughty."

"But no matter how crooked a tree is, in my hands, I can correct it."

Other teachers: "Learn from Teacher Qin."

Lin ChuSui: "It's all thanks to Teacher Qin's painstaking love and earnest teachings. The student keeps it in mind and will never forget it. Teacher Qin is the best teacher in the world!"

Teacher Qin grinned from ear to ear and waved his hand: "Not that good, not that good, haha."

Lin ChuSui: "Teacher Qin, about the matter of my deskmate..."

Teacher Qin's eyes glared, his face changed suddenly, his tone firm: "This was the military order you made yourself. You and Lu Chi will switch seats later."

Lin ChuSui nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Yes, yes, no problem. You can switch seats and give the study god to someone more in need of help. It's totally fine! Sitting next to Xu Jia Ning is ok too!"

"Wait a minute." Teacher Qin looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you so happy?"

"Ah, am I happy? No way."

With all his experience with people, how could Teacher Qin not see through Lin ChuSui's little thoughts: "You're so happy to sit next to Xu Jia Ning?"

Lin ChuSui panicked immediately: "No, no, Xu Jia Ning is just my brother! There is nothing else between us...really nothing!"

Teacher Qin's heart thumped. He realized something was wrong. He had only paid attention to Xiao Yan and Lin ChuSui, completely neglecting Xu Jia Ning who was with her day and night.

Sometimes students' puppy love is like guerrilla warfare, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy attacks and we defend.

The younger generations nowadays are more and more complicated.

No wonder Xiao Yan had pursued Lin ChuSui for so long without success. Turns out...this was a love triangle!

Teacher Qin's expression became serious: "Student Lin ChuSui, do you know he is your brother by law?"

Lin ChuSui was so frightened her whole body shook: "I...I don't have anything with him! We...I'm sorry Teacher Qin, I was wrong. Please don't tell my mom, or she'll beat me to death!"

Teacher Qin immediately realized the severity of the problem: "Student Lin ChuSui, please control your emotions! Focus on studying. You are in your senior year of high school now. There can be no mistakes."

"Xiao Yan also advised me that."

Teacher Qin thought for a long time and said to Lu Chi: "Let's put off the switching seats for now. We'll talk about it later."

Lu Chi: ???

He was dumbfounded by Lin ChuSui's acting.

Not giving her an Oscar is a loss for the international film industry.
