Chapter 164 Chicken Soup
She could only silently say in her heart, "I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer." After all, her few light movements were just to get away quickly; she couldn't let people really think she had superhuman agility...
Upon returning home, they were greeted by the warm smiles of Grandpa Xie and Grandma Feng.
When the two elderly people saw Jiang Songchu, who had returned ahead of schedule, their eyes narrowed into slits with smiles, the wrinkles on their faces seemed to smooth out, and their eyes sparkled with joy.
They held their beloved granddaughter, touching her face and looking at her hands, as if afraid she had suffered some injustice, and doted on her to their heart's content.
That intimacy and affection warmed Jiang Songchu's heart.
Grandma Feng said with a smile, "Songchu, do you know how excited Grandpa was the day you won the championship? He forwarded many reports to his old friends and showed off in all sorts of ways! He looked just like a little kid."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but tease Grandpa Xie who was standing next to her.
When Grandpa Xie heard this, he glared at Grandma Feng, seemingly a little embarrassed, but then he snorted, trying to hide his little mood.
"Hmph, you're no different. You were clapping your hands and grinning from ear to ear at home, saying you were going to cook a big meal for Songchu tonight and had been working on the menu all night!"
The two chatted back and forth, revealing each other's secrets, making Jiang Songchu laugh so hard she almost fell over.
She linked arms with Grandpa Xie with one arm and Grandma Feng with the other, and said in a coquettish tone, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, I missed you so much too!"
When Grandpa Xie and Grandma Feng heard this, a barely perceptible look of heartache flashed in their eyes.
They knew that Jiang Songchu had sacrificed so much because he was used to relying on himself, so this time of reunion was especially precious to them.
Grandma Feng gently stroked Jiang Songchu's hair, her eyes full of love, and said tenderly, "Songchu, Grandma made you some chicken soup. Drink a bowl while it's hot to nourish yourself. You must be exhausted from the journey."
A bowl of steaming hot chicken soup not only warms the stomach, but also the heart.
Jiang Songchu spent the afternoon with her grandparents, listening to them tell interesting stories about their families and share their recent experiences. The warm atmosphere filled the entire room with coziness.
As dusk approached, she reluctantly bid farewell to the two elderly people and headed to school to register.
Since Jiang Songchu won the "Dance King" award yesterday, the internet is full of hot news about her, not to mention her fellow alumni.
The entire school was immersed in discussions and cheers about her; at that moment, Jiang Songchu was the campus superstar.
As soon as Jiang Songchu entered the school, he walked along the road toward his classroom in the teaching building.
Suddenly, an E-person alumnus, looking out at the scenery at the end of the corridor, glanced down and saw her.
The man's eyes widened instantly, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted, "Chu Chu! Baby Chu Chu! I love you, Chu Chu!"
The voice was filled with admiration and affection, instantly attracting the attention of alumni upstairs and downstairs.
At this shout, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Songchu, followed by wave after wave of cheers.
Congratulations to Jiang Songchu on winning the Dance King title!
"Chu Chu is really amazing!"
"Song Chu is awesome!"
The corridors and the area under the teaching building instantly became bustling with noise, as if it had turned into a small fan meeting.
Jiang Songchu extended goodwill to everyone in a friendly manner, nodding slightly and waving in response, with a gentle smile on her face and eyes full of gratitude.
However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when a long shadow enveloped her.
Jiang Songchu looked up and saw a very fit and strong boy standing in front of her.
Because it was winter, he was wearing a thick coat, so his muscle definition wasn't visible. But Jiang Songchu could tell from his tall and straight figure that the boy worked out regularly.
The boy stood there, his ears slightly red, his eyes filled with shyness and nervousness. He kept rubbing his hands together, trying to ease his anxiety.
He took a deep breath, finally mustered his courage, and opened his mouth.
"Jiang Songchu, I like you very much, I am..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an excited voice from the side, which was clear and sweet, unique to a young girl.
"Chu Chu! You're back! That's amazing! Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Jiang Songchu turned her head and immediately smiled broadly, her eyes curving into crescents, her face full of joy: "Weiwei, thank you!"
Qin Weiwei wore a beige down jacket that reached her ankles and a white knitted hat, which contrasted sharply with her jet-black hair, making her look like a porcelain doll and very energetic.
She walked quickly to Jiang Songchu's side, and the two hugged each other excitedly, as if they had endless things to say.
Then, Qin Weiwei casually took Jiang Songchu's hand, preparing to leave the place where they were being watched.
Jiang Songchu paused for a moment, then turned to the boy, whose name she still didn't know, and said, "Thank you for your likes and support. I will continue to work hard. I also wish you all the best in your studies and hope you make progress every day. We both have a bright future!"
Her voice was so sincere that it made the boy's face turn bright red instantly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Weiwei raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "Hmph, luckily I arrived in time!"
She took Jiang Songchu's hand and deliberately quickened her pace; the two left the scene hand in hand.
The boy was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Songchu's words, but then he seemed to find some kind of belief in her words. He straightened his back and walked firmly toward the teaching building.
When the time came, Jiang Songchu arrived at the math competition class on time as usual.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she sensed a unique atmosphere.
The students were all in high spirits, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement, as if some important news was about to be announced.
Jiang Songchu smiled slightly, found her seat and sat down, feeling somewhat curious.
Teacher Yao, whom the students call "Devil Yao," seemed unusually serious today.
He was wearing a dark suit jacket, his hair was neatly combed, and he stood on the podium, his eyes scanning the whole class.
The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Teacher Yao to speak.
"Dear students, I have an important announcement to make today."
Teacher Yao's deep and powerful voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Jiang Songchu, and he nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging her efforts.
"After this period of study, everyone's grades have improved significantly."
Teacher Yao's voice carried a hint of relief, but her tone remained serious, "Especially Jiang Songchu."
He emphasized his words and looked at Jiang Songchu with eyes full of approval.
Jiang Songchu lowered her head slightly, a shy smile on her face.
