His teacher, Teacher He, publicly praised him at school. which made Dabao even a little embarrassed by the attention and a little regretful. If only he’d been more careful, he could’ve scored a perfect 100 in Math.

Next time he would definitely get 100! That way, Grandpa would come back to stay with them. 

Dabao still remembered what Auntie Chu Qiao had said before, if he got a perfect score, Grandpa would come stay with him again, then he would have someone to help with his homework.

“99 points? Dabao, that’s really amazing! What do you want to eat for dinner?”

When Chu Qiao came to pick him up, she saw the little guy walking out looking awkward. 

At first, she thought that he didn’t do well in the exam, but when she saw the test paper with the big red mark of 99, she praised him without holding back. 

Last semester, he hadn’t even passed his final exams. His improvement in this semester was huge.

Dabao’s face turned red. He said softly, “I lost one point because I was careless. I could’ve gotten a hundred.”

Chu Qiao checked, and found the question he got wrong, it was a simple calculation mistake. She gently said, “Then next time let’s aim for a perfect score, okay?”

“Yes! I will definitely get a hundred next time!” Dabao nodded hard, full of confidence. 

He now realized that studying wasn’t that hard. Scoring 100 wasn’t even that hard. He could do it easily, especially if it meant he could get to eat his auntie’s delicious cooking, he had to get a perfect score. 

“Today you get to choose the dinner, Dabao. Even though you didn’t get a perfect score, 99 is still amazing, and a huge improvement from last semester. So tonight, you’re in charge of the menu. It’s a reward for your hard work.”

“Really? Even without a hundred, I still get to choose?” Dabao looked at her in disbelief, eyes lighting up.

“Just this once. Next time, you need to get a hundred. And don’t get cocky, if your grades drop, I will let you eat crown daisy for a whole month!”  

Chu Qiao threatened with a sweet smile.

-Crown daisy vegetable / Garland Chrysanthemum 

Dabao shuddered. Just hearing the word crown daisy made him feel cold. 

Even pigs didn’t eat that stuff. He seriously didn’t understand why anyone would like it.

Even one whiff of it made him feel like the world was ending. It was that painful.

“I won’t get cocky! I’ll definitely keep improving!”

Dabao quickly promised. He had to work hard, he would do anything to avoid eating that dreaded crown daisy.

Chu Qiao smirked. She also had only recently discovered that although Dabao wasn’t a picky eater, he absolutely hated crown daisy vegetables. 

Every time she cooked it, he wouldn’t even touch his chopsticks and would push the whole plate away, just like some people hated cilantro, Dabao had zero tolerance for crown daisy vegetables.

“How did Gu Wen do?” Chu Qiao asked with interest.

“Chinese 75, Math 66.”

Dabao’s pride swelled. Half of his joy from learning came from Gu Wen’s misery. 

Seeing that guy sulking made him feel sweeter than eating ice cream.

Chu Qiao felt even more pleased. What a typical Gu Wen performance… 

She patted Dabao’s head and encouraged him, “From now on, you have to score better than Gu Wen. If you fall behind, I’ll make you eat crown daisies every day!”

Dabao shuddered again, goosebumps all over. He nodded quickly. 

Honestly, Chu Qiao didn’t even need to use the crown daisy as a threat, as he was already determined to outperform Gu Wen. The joy of beating him was unparalleled.

Now Dabao finally understood why Uncle Gu always smacked Gu Jianshe on the head. The joy of bullying someone weaker was truly unmatched.

And speaking of the devil, there came Gu Jianshe, leading a miserable-looking Gu Wen out. The kid was even limping a bit. 

Originally, Zhu Yuzhen was supposed to pick him up, but ever since her early retirement, she’d become obsessed with elderly disco dancing, even neglecting cooking, let alone caring for her grandson. 

Chu Qiao’s eyes lit up. She feigned concern and asked, “Xiao Wen, how did you do on your test?”
