Chapter 13
i Yan had always been a head shorter than his peers, so he had been given this nickna when he quarreled with i Mu previously.
This ti, when he heard i Shu’s attack, i Yan was not angry. Instead, he shook his head proudly. “Don’t lie to ! I went to the school’s infirmary to ask the doctor. Boys have a long period of growth in height. It’s just that everyone has a different stage of growth.”
Wang Yue rubbed her forehead. i Yan was just a child. It was hard for her to side with i Mu in this situation. She could only slap the table hard. “Alright! You can’t even eat in peace. If you continue to argue, you’re not allowed to eat for the next two days!”
i Shu continued to eat as if nothing had happened, while i Yan made a face at i Mu nonchalantly.
i Mu held back her anger and didn’t say anything more as she watched her own mother get angry.
The al ended on a sour note.
Half an hour after the al, i Shu called i Yan and he stood up and followed her back to his room.
i Shu arranged for i Yan to try doing his howork on his own first. If he didn’t know how to do it, he should set it aside and wait for her to solve it together with him.
i Shu used to daydream when she had nothing to do. She would only copy the teacher’s notes on the blackboard after she snapped out of it. Therefore, although her textbook was not as clean as i Yan’s, she didn’t have many notes. She took out her history textbook and started to copy.
For academic underachievers, there was no such thing as an interesting and exciting study experience. Today, i Yan worked hard and attended classes all day, although she was distracted several tis in class, she still gained so benefits.
Doing howork was not like attending a class where you could see people and hear their voices. It was more boring than attending a class.
Before i Yan could write a few words, his thoughts drifted into outer space again. When he ca back to his senses, half an hour had passed. He lowered his head and saw the line of words in the exercise book. Then, he saw i Shu, who had already copied more than ten pages of notes. He felt a little guilty.
At this mont, i Shu had finished copying a small section. She turned around and frowned when she saw i Yan’s howork progress. “You’ve only done this much in half an hour?!”
Although he was in the wrong, his mischievous personality made i Yan subconsciously retort, “I have to use my brain to write it myself. You don’t even need to use your brain to copy notes. The progress will definitely be different!”
At this mont, i Shu received a new mission. [Master, a long-term mission has been issued! Master, please help i Yan enter the top 20 of the class during this sester’s final exam.]
i Shu watched as i Yan took so long to solve three multiplication and division math problems. A complicated expression appeared on her face. She felt that this mission was extrely difficult.
i Shu didn’t dwell on the previous question with i Yan and casually asked, “How many people are in your class?”
i Shu took the initiative to change the topic. It was exactly what i Yan wanted. He rolled his eyes and thought for a mont. “52 people.”
i Shu sighed softly in her heart. Compared to i Yan’s weak foundation, she was more troubled by his learning attitude now. If his attitude didn’t change, it ant that he was still resisting learning in his heart. He would not have the motivation to study, just like just now. He had not even written a few words before his mind wandered.
Thinking that a nine-year-old child could probably be tricked by persuasion and deception, i Shu had an idea. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Guess what we have in common now?”
i Yan thought for a mont. “Having the sa parents.”
i Shu: “… Anything else?”
Seeing i Yan shake his head, i Shu smiled mysteriously. “We’re all the last in our class!”
Looking at i Shu’s smile, i Yan felt helpless. “This doesn’t seem like a glorious thing.”
When i Shu saw i Yan take the bait, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She smiled and said, “It’s not glorious, but we have great potential! You have 51 people ahead of you that you can surpass, while I have 55 people ahead of . Look at those who are in second and third place, no matter how hard they try, they can only move up one or two spots at most, or may not even be able to advance at all!”
Although it felt weird, i Yan felt that her words made sense and nodded.
Only then did i Shu get to the point. “Let’s make a bet. Our grade has about 500 students in the liberal arts class. In this monthly exam, I will rank in the top 200 of the grade, and you will make it to the top 20 in your class at the end of the sester. What do you think?”
i Yan snorted softly and rolled his eyes as if he had seen through i Shu. “You’re trying to trick into learning again!”
i Shu rubbed i Yan’s head with a provocative smile. “You don’t dare to bet? Are you afraid of losing?”
i Yan was not soone who could withstand provocation. He knew this flaw in himself, but he just couldn’t change it. He even adds fuel to the fire, saying, “Ha, what’s there to be afraid of! If you want to bet, so be it! What if you lose?”
