Through the cellphone, a man’s laughter cos through.
Afterward, Song Baiyan spoke, "Things that are topsy-turvy still need to be straightened out."
"..." Tang Li sat on the edge of the bed, enjoying the cool air, and retorted, "Where is there anything topsy-turvy? How co I don’t know about it?"
As she finished speaking, she added, "However, receiving a call from Mr. Song does flatter sowhat, like winning twenty bucks from a scratch card."
"Only twenty?"
"Yep." Tang Li made sure to explain, "There are lots of twenty-dollar scratch cards with a high chance of winning. Maybe you could win every day."
Mr. Song on the other end said, "You seem so familiar with it; looks like you’ve bought plenty."
"Not at all, I definitely wouldn’t buy them. Don’t talk nonsense."
"..."
Tang Li emphasized again, "Us little fairies don’t touch gambling or drugs."
She subtly omitted "pornography."
"..." Song Baiyan.
Tang Li went on to say that she would spend the night at the Lai Family’s house, and incidentally ntioned that she was going to help Fu Si with his studies tomorrow: "I haven’t really attended classes for half a year, and he’s a grade above . I haven’t even learned any of the third-year course material."
"Even little fairies have things they don’t know?"
The man’s warm voice made Tang Li’s cochlea itch.
Imdiately, the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily: "Even a little fairy will co across problems she can’t solve."
"Actually, I have final exams too, so my agent pushed all my engagents back half a month."
After the TV series "Original Sin" was broadcast, her fa rose, making it impossible to study in the school library anymore. She chose to tutor Fu Si in the city library because not many people go there.
"Is there a reward for doing well in the final exams?"
Tang Li suddenly asked.
Song Baiyan, holding his cellphone standing in front of the bedroom window, couldn’t help but chuckle at the request for a gift: "Such a grown-up, still wanting rewards for examinations?"
"Because I need motivation." Tang Li justified, "Rewards are what give drive."
Then, she received Mr. Song’s agreent.
Tang Li was delighted beyond words.
On the phone, Song Baiyan also asked, "Are you getting used to staying back at the Lai’s?"
"Actually, it’s not bad, certainly better than an average hotel." While she responded, her gaze surveyed the guest room’s layout, which was rather simple. Since it was in a villa, it couldn’t be too shabby, but it couldn’t compare to the bedrooms of Lai Sheng Xia and Lai Yuaner.
Tang Li sat on the bed, swinging her feet, and changed the topic: "Let give you a math problem."
Song Baiyan heard her enthusiasm: "Planning to give a chickens and rabbits in the sa cage problem?"
"No." The girl said, "I’m going for a snail problem."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Li composed the problem and sent it over: "There is a well 7 ters deep, and a snail starts climbing from the bottom of the well. During the dayti, it climbs 3 ters, and at night it falls back 2 ters. How many days will it take for the snail to escape the well? [Grinning smiley]"
She posed the problem on a whim.
Tang Li threw back the covers and got into bed, never considering that Song Baiyan would actually care about this math problem.
About two minutes later, she received a picture from Song Baiyan.
Tang Li hid under the covers and enlarged the picture on her cellphone; the screen’s light reflected on her face. In the picture, there was a piece of white paper on a desk and a pen; as for the paper, it had a few lines of calculations.
A snail fearing the well, this problem wasn’t difficult.
Excluding the ti to find paper and pen, Tang Li felt Song Baiyan took less than a minute.
Thinking of a thirty-sothing man actually calculating how many days it would take for a snail to climb out of a well, Tang Li felt a sudden urge to laugh, turning over to bury her face in a pillow, then typing a reply: "Correct, reward you with one five-pointed star!"
