Chapter 18
“Time for school, Ming-gege~ Time for school~~~!”
Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, Xu Ming had just finished breakfast when he saw Qin Qingwan bouncing in like a little white rabbit.
She had an empty little bookcase strapped to her back, and Lady Qin’s personal maid, Cai Die, followed closely behind.
“Alright, let’s go,” Xu Ming said as he hopped off his chair, also carrying a small bookcase on his back.
After saying their goodbyes to Xu Ming’s mother, Qin Qingwan grabbed Xu Ming’s hand and happily skipped along as they made their way to Zhixing Academy.
The academy wasn’t far—just one street away from the Xu and Qin manors.
When they arrived, Qin Qingwan saw several children about her age, and Xu Ming spotted his half-brother, Xu Pangda.
Xu Pangda was still a chubby little boy, his young age already belied by a stout figure.
What puzzled Xu Ming was that Xu Pangda had come alone, with no maids or servants accompanying him. He carried a small bookcase on his back, looking rather lonely.
