Chapter 80: You're good, you're my only rival.

It's too raw and grassy.

Gu Tunan has mixed feelings, disappointment mixed with dislike, dislike mixed with a sense of gratitude.

Although not able to perform conjugal rituals with Tang Bai, Xie Ruhang was the best choice among those other than Tang Bai, as Gu Tunan did not want to play the wife of a weaker alpha than him.

Xie Ruhang: "?!" What are you so happy about?!

Xie Ruhang takes an alert step back, psyching himself up, before stepping up to Gu Tunan as if he were an enemy.

Tang Bai watches the convergence of the fates of the protagonist, the attacker and the recipient, as the book sets up a sweet drama of conjugal etiquette, but Brother Xie looks a little uncomfortable, is he shy?

Although Tang Bai still doesn't like Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan together, Gu Tunan is getting better little by little and the feelings of the people involved are the most important thing in love, Brother Xie should want to receive the blessing of his best friend too.

Tang Bai gives a cheering gesture to Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang: "......" Instead of feeling more depressed after being cheered up ......

Mo Zheng arrived in front of Tang Bai with a lot of jealousy and two extraordinarily murderous stares, the silver-haired alpha's eyes glowing and glowing: "It's an honour to be your partner, and we're back together again after so many days."

He was referring to standing together when Tang Bai and he stood on the podium together at the mech building competition.

Tang Bai smiles politely at Mo Zheng.

"There are a total of five questions on couple etiquette, the first question is a basic knowledge test, please fill in your answers on the light brain." The teacher said.

The basics of the first question are relatively simple: what are the three common terms of endearment between partners, what to say when the husband comes home with a lot of work, what to say when eating each other's food, and what to say if the partner is unwell ......

Of course these simplifications were for the well-prepared Tang Bai, a bunch of cadets who hadn't read much about conjugal etiquette at all and were all confused, writing blindly according to straight-A thinking-

Three names for a partner, wife, baby, heart?

I'm sorry I'm late getting home from work, I just couldn't get away this time, next time I'll be sure?

Eat your partner's meal and it's really good?

Partner unwell and drinking more hot water?

"Ah that's too hard, might as well come up with 'which one do I save when both my mother and my wife fall in the water'!"

The scoring is partner □□□□, and as they finish each part, they get the standard answers on the light brain and they score each other based on the reference answers, while also knowing how much they scored.

Gu Tunan expected Xie Ruhang to lose a lot of marks on a question like couple etiquette, but to his surprise, Xie Ruhang answered it even better than he did.

How did Xie Ruhang know so much about couples' etiquette when he had been trained in this area because of the matchmaking thing?

I recall Xie Ruhang's calm attitude when he first heard about the couples' etiquette test, but in retrospect I would describe it as "unexpected".

Did Xie Ruhang know the title in advance?

Grey-blue eyes fixed on Xie Ruhang, refusing to miss the slightest expression on the face, Gu Tunan said seriously, " Xie Ruhang, I thought you were my only opponent, I thought you were a decent alpha, are you?"

Xie Ruhang: "?"

--â€" Gu Tunan would say to Xie Ruhang after the etiquette exam, “You’re good, you’re my only rival.â

-- "The one, isn't true love the one?"

Is this uprightness asking not about my character but my sexuality?!

Xie Ruhang 悟了！

Xie Ruhang was adamant: "I am."

Gu Tunan sensed the solemnity in Xie Ruhang's tone and thought that Xie Ruhang, like him, saw each other as his only rival. He was deeply touched and said sympathetically, "You are good, you are my only rival."

Xie Ruhang: "......"

Soon it was time for the second question, which was about how to become harmonious when a couple is not living in harmony.

The mark for this question was scored by candidates who, in a conversational mode, listed several aspects that caused disharmony in the couple's life and suggested solutions based on couple etiquette, in which they were both partners and competitors.

Xie Ruhang replied first: "Money-wise, as poor couples are sad, financial conflicts ......"

Ding, Xie Ruhang 1 point

Gu Tunan then replied, "On the family side, such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, aunt and sister-in-law conflicts ......"

Ding, Gu Tunan 1 point

Xie Ruhang 凤眼睛微眯："三观方面......"

Gu Tunan doesn't hold back: "Character-wise ......"

After a few rounds, their desire to win and lose was completely aroused, but all the points that could be made were almost exhausted, so they heard Xie Ruhang sinking his breath into his chest and saying, "Sexually, if the husband is impotent! Impotence!"

He finished with a searing stare at Gu Tunan, "Can you name any other points? Don't tell me you can't!"

Gu Tunan: "......"

Nan Nan is angry, Nan Nan is stifled, Nan Nan is helpless!

Tang Bai drew the more mundane question of what to wear and what to bring as a gift on his first visit to his partner's house, and he saw that the group with the excitement drew a toast, a wedding ring exchange and the reading of wedding vows.

The two fierce A's vomited on each other after drinking their crossed glasses.

The alpha who exchanged light-brain rings with his stingy roommate wore a mask of pain.

The alpha who recites his wedding vows to a classmate even taller and more majestic than himself looks disoriented.

Tang Bai and some of her classmates worked well together as partners in a test on other aspects of etiquette.

At the end of the examination, the results of all the candidates were listed in order of merit, and Xie Ruhang's high score caught everyone's attention.

We all know that the etiquette exams are not favourable to the commoners. In previous years, it was the noble students who were the best in this area, and everyone knew that this kind of exam was a privilege for the nobles, blocking the way for the commoners to rise, but who let them come from a good family, and family is also a kind of strength.

"Che, I guess he just got a lucky bet on the right question." A noble student muttered.

Qiu Yan exclaimed, "Luck is also a form of strength!"

And most of the cadets looked at their grades and went on to more important things -

"Did you just call me a wife?! Let's go out and fight and see who's the daddy!"

In the midst of all the hilarity, Tang Bai saw Qin Jun, who was hurrying away with his head down.

I heard that the Cheng Family has broken off their tail and made the entire Qin Family a pariah, and that Qin Jun, who used to be a dominant member of the family, is now a street rat.

It looks like Qin Jun's tampering with Xie Ruhang's mech in the underground arena will not happen.

"There's a fitness test tomorrow, so don't train today, get your strength back." Xie Ruhang walked up to Tang Bai and admonished him.

Tang Bai withdrew her eyes and asked Xie Ruhang, "Brother Xie, don't you have anything to ask?" Like why I got the title so right.

"You will naturally tell me when you want to, everyone has secrets, and I am hiding things from you too." Xie Ruhang said.

Tang Bai was touched and suddenly felt that the words sounded familiar, as Xiao Cheng had said the same to him.

To be honest, Xiao Cheng and Brother Xie have so many similarities that if they weren't of different genders and different pectoral sizes, Tang Bai would have suspected that they were the same person.

But how is that possible hahahahaha.

Lu Xiaoshan watches a live stream from Mr Ling's home, which shows the Qin Family undergoing trial.

Lu Xiaoshan clenched his fist when he thought of his father suffering from this ordeal.

"Xiao Shan, you told me earlier that you decided not to study and to become a local arena star like Little Xie's brother." Mr Ling suddenly said.

Lu Xiaoshan nods without hesitation.

"Do you like flying mechs, or do you want to make money early?" Mr Ling asked softly as he looked into Lu Xiaoshan's eyes.

"I want it all." There is a tournament in the underground arena where talented children and adults fight together, with a high rate of injury and disability, but a good payout.

Lu Xiaoshan knows that although his father has returned safely, he will never be well again, but it doesn't matter, he can be the backbone of the family.

"I know of a path that might suit you better than being an underground arena racer."

Looking at Lu Xiaoshan's confused eyes, Mr. Ling's heart suddenly became soft: "The Federal Military Academy will hold a youth mecha piloting competition every year from now on, if you can get a good ranking in this competition, you can get a bursary and a chance to attend the primary school attached to the Federal Military Academy."

"Isn't it the same as the youth art competition held at the Etiquette Academy?!" Jiang Quan asked gleefully.

The other kids came over at the sound of it, "Wow! I want to sign up too!" "But I don't know how to drive a mech." "I don't know how to ...... either."

Looking at the children who had their hands up in the air, Mr. Ling smiled, "You can all sign up, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, when our school here is built, there will be students from the Mech Department of the Federal Military Academy to teach at the new school, you have to concentrate on your studies and try to get a good ranking then, got it?"

Lu Xiaoshan was secretly envious for a while when he learned that Jiang Quan had won a place at the primary school attached to the Etiquette Academy for his previous doodles, and that Jiang Quan would be able to attend his brother Tang Tang's alma mater when he reached school age in the second half of the year.

"Sir, is this true?" Lu Xiaoshan confirms cautiously.

"It's true, your Little Xie brother told me."

Lu Xiaoshan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Mr. Ling touched Lu Xiaoshan's head, and he seemed to see Xie Ruhang through Lu Xiaoshan, who was also such a small child, but his eyes had a depression that was too strong to melt: "He, ah, doesn't want you to follow his old path. "

"He wants you all to be able to live in the sun, to grow up in peace and happiness."
