Chapter 1833: Chapter 1340: Do You Look Down on Me?
In the yard, Kang Yi Yu, Kang Yi Hang, and Ming Han were chatting together. Not far from them, Bun and Tang Yuan were playing with the sons of Kang Guo An and Kang Yi Yang. Or rather, to be precise, Kang Guo An’s son and Kang Yi Yang’s son clung to them, calling Bun and Tang Yuan their older brother or uncle, practically turning into two little tails following them around.
"Yu, cousin, do you really need to be envious? Don’t forget, you’re already a university student."
Ming Han looked at Kang Yi Yu and then shifted his gaze to Kang Yi Hang: "Hang, cousin, you’re also a university student. Surely you wouldn’t envy my Bun, Tang Yuan, and Guoguo like Yu does, right?"
Kang Yi Yu was the third child under Kang San Ge, the same age as Min Rui, a little more than two years older than Ming Han.
Kang Yi Hang was the second child of Kang Si Ge, nicknamed Dou Dou, one year younger than Min Rui and one year older than Ming Han.
Nowadays, these cousins, just like their elder brothers, had tall, straight figures, and each looked quite handsome.
"Just because my brother Yu and I are university students doesn’t mean we can’t envy our little cousins?"
Kang Yi Hang raised an eyebrow: "Thinking back to when I was seven or eight sitting in a second grade classroom, comparing myself to our little cousins now, I can’t help but feel embarrassed!"
"You can’t compare people like that. If my mindset were like yours now, I’d probably be doubting life, lying flat on the ground!"
Ming Han wasn’t exaggerating: "Listen up, if it weren’t for my parents disagreeing, Bun and the others could easily be classmates with Luo Min Wei and me."
There’s no denying it; his younger siblings were just smart, having already learned the content of high school textbooks.
"..."
Kang Yi Hang and Kang Yi Yu’s eyes widened in shock.
After a long time, Kang Yi Yu was the first to recover his senses. He asked, "Are you not lying to us?"
"Is there any need?"
Ming Han raised an eyebrow.
Kang Yi Yu: "Alright, I believe you. So tell me, why did Auntie and Uncle disagree with Bun and the others being your classmates?"
Ming Han: "My parents think they’re too young and worry they won’t find common ground with older classmates. So they want them to be classmates with kids their own age for a few more years and experience a normal child’s elementary, junior high, and high school life."
"But aren’t Bun and the others still not attending school with kids their age?"
Kang Yi Hang raised a question.
Reading first grade at seven, second grade at eight, that’s the normal progression for kids entering elementary school, but his little cousins?
Not yet eight years old, they’ve already spent a semester in junior high.
"Back when Bun and the others were in preschool, my parents agreed they’d skip grades after entering elementary school, but they also stipulated they should study in elementary for three years. However, Bun and the others were determined, unwilling to waste time, so they spent just two years in elementary, aced their graduation exams, and stepped into junior high with full scores. In any case, I’m not surprised, as my Bun, Tang Yuan, and Guoguo’s intelligence isn’t something regular folks can compare to."
As soon as Min Rui’s voice fell, Tang Yuan shouted, "Second Brother, Second Brother, Mom’s calling us home!"
"Let’s chat again later!"
Leaving Kang Yi Hang and Kang Yi Yu with these words, Ming Han stepped towards Bun and Tang Yuan.
"Auntie, Uncle, are you leaving already?"
Kang Yi Hang and Kang Yi Yu followed Ming Han and approached Kang Li’s car, asking Kang Li and Luo Yanqing.
Luo Yanqing had completed a project with his team members two days ago, so the whole team was on a half-month holiday, the perfect time to head back home and celebrate a family reunion.
"Yes."
Kang Li and Luo Yanqing nodded. Kang Li said, "Auntie and your uncle need to go home and tidy up the house."
Last New Year, Kang Li bought a car for Luo Yanqing, and today, the whole family came to see Captain Kang with two cars for a more comfortable trip.
But Kang Li’s car is driven by Min Rui.
It doesn’t need explaining; Min Rui already has his driver’s license, and driving out isn’t a problem.
...
The compound.
With six kids from the family helping, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing tidied up the house inside and out in no time after returning to the compound.
Suddenly, the gate was knocked.
"I’ll get the door."
Tang Yuan dashed out of the living room, opened the gate, and saw Xi Jingyu and Xi Chen Yu standing outside, slightly startled but quickly smiling as he welcomed them inside.
"Second brother! Second brother! Jing Yu is here to play with you!"
Closing the gate, Tang Yuan shouted toward the living room.
"Why is he coming to find me at this time?"
Ming Han came out of the living room, seeing Xi Jingyu, filled with puzzlement.
In this cold weather, rather than staying home as most would do, and given the homes aren’t close, why did he run over here to play?
"Nothing to do at home, so decided to wander out."
Xi Jingyu knew his visit was a bit abrupt, but having arrived, there was no turning back.
"Don’t mind the cold."
Ming Han said as he invited Xi Jingyu into the living room.
"Aren’t you cold?"
Tang Yuan and Xi Chen Yu stood in the yard; he watched Xi Chen Yu for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked.
"Are you very cold?"
Xi Chen Yu didn’t answer but asked in return.
Tang Yuan: "How do you think I feel looking like this?"
On hearing this, Xi Chen Yu stayed silent for a moment before asking, "Is Ming Ting home?"
Knowing Guoguo advanced grades with Bun, Tang Yuan, and Xi Chen Yu’s family discussed it and decided to keep pace with Guoguo and the siblings, making Xi Chen Yu a junior high student now.
Bun didn’t seem to care much about advancing grades together with Xi Chen Yu and the siblings, and all stepping into Shuimu University Affiliated Junior High School. But Tang Yuan felt Xi Chen Yu surely advanced grades for Guoguo, keeping pace with them.
"You actually want to know if my sister is home, don’t you?"
Tang Yuan lightly snorted and said: "Let’s go inside; it’s warm in the living room; my brother and Guoguo are both there!"
Xi Chen Yu stood still; he asked, "Do you have issues with me? Did I do something wrong?"
"..."
Tang Yuan remained silent for a while before replying, "Why would I have issues with you? I just feel you always keep your eyes on Guoguo; is that not a bit inappropriate?"
"I.... I don’t!"
Xi Chen Yu’s cheeks warmed slightly, even his ears showing a hint of red.
"Whether you do or not, you know for yourself. Anyway, I feel like you’re hiding something."
Tang Yuan’s gaze toward Xi Chen Yu was slightly complex, and he said, "Let’s go inside; if you catch a cold, it would be my fault as the host."
