It turns out that being a top student is not something anyone can do just by wanting to.
Even if Xu Jia Yan personally helped with tutoring, Young Master Xu would barely pass the average score, and didn't even make it into the top ten in his class, let alone the top ten in his grade.
However, the old man didn't know whether he had forgotten or saw that he was quite serious during this period of time, and afterwards he didn't mention finding his parents again.
Xu Xiaoshao thus escaped this calamity.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing and couldn't help but feel proud, Jiang Yu asked lightly: "Have you ever thought that there's no such thing as ranking in the top ten of your grade?"
"What does it mean?" Xu Jinyan was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yu's bright eyes sparkled as she said, "Do you think the old man will believe that you can get into the top ten in the grade? I bet even if you dare to say it, he won't dare to believe it."
She doesn't believe it anyway.
Xu Jinyan: "Are you saying my brother cheated me?"
Jiang Yu opened her pure and harmless big eyes, looked at him and said: "I just expressed my thoughts, as for whether Ah Yan brother deceived you or not, I think you can ask him yourself!"
Xu Jinyan actually basically agreed with her idea in his heart, but he said it was an impossible thing to do. At first, he thought the old man was intentionally making things difficult for him and didn't think that this matter could be entirely his brother's own idea.
So there was no agreement at all, he just wanted his brother to be in the top ten before the exam?
"Why didn't you remind me earlier?" Xu Xiaoshao looked at her with a hint of resentment.
Does she know how much hardship he has endured for this period of time in order to review, how many meals he has skipped and how many nights he hasn't slept?
Jiang Yu blinked her eyes innocently: "Why should I remind you? Isn't it a good thing to study hard? Besides, although you didn't get into the top ten in your grade, you've made quite a bit of progress. Keep working hard and who knows, maybe one day you'll really achieve it."
Xu Jinyan: ……
He was left speechless.
Xicheng is a hot and humid city with abundant rainfall in summer, mid-July is the hottest period, with an average temperature of 30 degrees, and a maximum of 40 degrees.
The sun was scorching hot, and the air was filled with sweltering heat everywhere. Outside, it was like a big steamer, making people feel suffocated.
"Alas—"
"Alas—"
Inside the villa, two faint sighs sounded at the same time.
Xu Xiaoshuai, who was doing his homework in the living room, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu beside him: "What are you sighing about?"
"What's wrong with you again?" Jiang Xiaomei asked back.
Xu Jinyan: "Don't want to do homework!"
Jiang Yuan: "I don't want to write homework either."
"What are you doing imitating me?" Xu Xiaoshao frowned and glared at her.
Jiang Yu: "I don't want to!" She really didn't want to do her homework.
Xu Jinyan looked at her suspiciously: "Aren't you a top student? Can top students also not want to do their homework?"
"Isn't it strange?"
Bookworms are human too, who says bookworms can't hate doing homework?
She became a top student because she was smart, not because she did a lot of homework.
Xu Jinyan: ……
For some reason, I feel what she said makes sense.
"Otherwise, we might as well not write at all?" Young Master Xu suddenly brightened up and suggested.
Jiang Xiao Yuan accompanied him and didn't do his homework, Lin Xiao Wan and his brother wouldn't scold him.
Jiang Yuan: "I won't write it, but you must."
"What right do you have?" Xu Xiaoshao refused to accept it.
I've only heard of kids who don't do their homework, but never about top students not doing the homework that kids who don't do well in school must do.
Jiang Yuan: "I don't write because I already know it all, can't you not write because your face is bigger?"
Xu Jinyan: ……
Your face is so big, your whole family's faces are all big too.
