Episode 4
After being tricked once again by Blacky Sheng, Flower Qi made a solemn vow that he would get back at Blacky!
Since he was one year older, Flower Qi brandished his fists at Blacky Sheng in a threatening manner and said, “Say you’re a pig and maybe I’ll spare you. Hmph!”
“You’re a pig,” said Blacky Sheng calmly.
Flower Qi said, “… I meant you!”
“Sure, you’re a pig,” Blacky Sheng repeated.
“Aah! Not ‘you’re a pig,’ but ‘I’m a pig’!” Flower Qi went berserk.
“Alright, I see.” Blacky Sheng gave him a knowing nod, then turned to leave, mumbling, “That was a very strange request.”
Flower Qi was utterly defeated.

Episode 5
Blacky Sheng and Flower Qi went to the same traditional Chinese culture cla.s.s.
Flower Qi nodded off over his desk, drooling. He was still reciting the text in his dreams. “‘The Rules for Students’ are the Sage’s teachings. First, be good to parents and respect elders; next, be reverent and trustworthy. Love everyone and become close with the kind-hearted…”
“Hey, wake up! The teacher’s coming!” Blacky Sheng tugged his sleeve, but Flower Qi replied with a swat from his hand and a loud protest, “Leave me alone!”
Blacky Sheng made no comment.
The teacher was next to them now and said angrily, “Qi Yanxi! You’re sleeping in my cla.s.s again! Sheng Yize can recite ‘Tao Te Ching’ already, but you can’t even remember ‘Standards for being a Good Pupil and Child’!”
Flower Qi woke up with a jolt at the bellow.
The bubble at the corner of his mouth burst with a pop.
The white-bearded teacher was all the more exasperated. “Gos.h.!.+ You’re incorrigible! Have you done your homework?”
The homework last week was to write some ancient style prose from memory.
It was an impossible task for Flower Qi. He barely knew how to read, and all of a sudden, he was required to recite some ancient text, which worried him so much that he almost skipped dinner!
Judging by the look on his face, the teacher knew that Qi Yanxi hadn’t done his homework. The old man rolled up his sleeves and scolded, “You brat! Go stand in the corridor!”
After all, he was the heir to the Qi family, and there was only so much the teacher dared do to punish him.
Blacky Sheng suddenly spoke. “Sir, he did his homework.”
He then handed the teacher an exercise book.
The teacher opened it suspiciously and found some very messy scrawls inside. However, it appeared that Qi Yanxi had indeed finished his homework.
“Hmph! I see you followed my instructions for once! Work on your handwriting!”
After the teacher left, Flower Qi flipped through the exercise book in disbelief. “Did I do this while I was asleep?”
Blacky Sheng smirked. “You’re such an idiot. I did that for you.”
“That can’t be! How come your handwriting looks so ugly?”
“… I wrote it with my left hand.”
Flower Qi, whose handwriting was even worse, was utterly defeated.
However, he was still greatly moved. “How nice of you! You did my homework for me. Blacky, I think I’m falling in love with you…”
“Go away!” Blacky Sheng rolled his eyes. “I just… hate it when you cry so loudly.”
“I’m a big boy! I don’t cry!”
Blacky Sheng smiled at that. “Qiuqiu just told me that she wants to be my wife. She said I could kiss her.”
Rumble —
It was like a bolt out of the blue!!
Flower Qi howled. “Blacky Sheng! I’m going to kill you! Sob…”
Blacky Sheng only said c.o.c.kily after Flower Qi howled his throat raw, “You’re so dumb, Flower! I made all that up!”
He was so gullible! Hahaha!
Flower Qi wrapped his hands around Sheng Yize’s neck. “Don’t trick me ever again!”
“Alright.”
“I can give you everything, but not my wife! Stay away from my girl from now on!”
“You dumb Flower. Fine, I will, as long as you don’t smear your snot on my clothes.”
“Teehee.
“We’ll be best buddies forever!” Flower Qi raised his little fist.
“Tch.” Despite the indifferent look on his face, Blacky Sheng raised his fist without hesitation and b.u.mped it against Flower Qi’s.
“It’s a promise! Man to man!”
“Yes.”
