Lu Yichen saw her odd behavior and looked amused. But he didnât ask her what she was doing, cutting straight to the point.
âSo what did you want to talk about?â
âWellâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao responded vaguely and said with a fawning smile, âI have a favor to ask of you.â
âOkay, shoot,â Lu Yichen said very casually as though he would help no matter what she asked of him.
She had been a great help to him after all.
So he would try his best to help her no matter the difficulty as long as she asked.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs bright eyes curved. âSince you have such impressive grades, you should have notes, right? Can you lend me your Year One notes?â
âYou want to use it to study?â Lu Yichen immediately picked up on her intention.
âYeah!â Mu Xiaoxiao nodded unashamedly, scratching her head as she said, âSince I studied overseas, Iâm not familiar with the syllabus taught in China. So for the last exam⦠I got lousy grades. Itâs not that Iâm stupid! Iâve had good grades during elementary school! So.. I wanted to get some tuition for the Year Oneâs syllabus so that I can get better grades on the next exam.â
An Zhixinâs provocations had actually been successful. Every time she saw An Zhixin flaunting herself as an excellent student, Mu Xiaoxiao would get irritated, and so she swore that she would definitely improve her grades!
Lu Yichen pondered for a moment and asked, âYouâre very good at English, so you donât have to make up for that. The subjects you are bad at are Mathematics and Chinese?â
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. âHow do you know that my English is good?â
Lu Yichen said, smiling, âDidnât you get full marks for it? The teachers have been talking about it. Even Year Threeâs English teacher use your essays as models.â
Upon hearing the last sentence, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs mouth formed an âOâ and she asked in amazement, âIs that true? The Year Threes are using my essays as models?â
âYeah, you write very well.â Lu Yichen praised her and continued saying, âAs for Mathematics and Chinese, you should have studied Mathematics overseas, right?â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âYes, but the progression isnât the same. Iâve looked through the textbook. Actually, I could still understand the earlier part of the book. But the later part of it becomes quite a bit harder, so I need more time to understand it.â
Hearing that, Lu Yichen could immediately tell the level of her knowledge. It seemed that she was indeed a smart girl.
He said, âAs for Chinese, you donât have to make up for what was taught in junior high. As long as you are familiar with Year Oneâs material, it wonât be too hard to get a good grade.â
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, âThatâs what I thought too! But, Classical Chinese is so difficult. I canât even understand a word of it⦠Oh, that doesnât sound right! I meant that I can understand the words individually, but not when they are put together. And some of the words are so rarely seen, I donât even know what they mean.â
âIf this is the caseâ¦â Lu Yichen was about to continue saying.
Suddenly, a bunch of excited girly shrieks interrupted him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAh! Young Master Jie! Is Young Master Jie in physical education class now? Young Master Jie looks so dashing wearing a jersey!â
âYeah! Oh my gosh! I still remember how Young Master Jie took off his shirt the last time he went up to join in the basketball game!â
âMe too! Me too!â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs smile stiffened.
The shrieks drew closer and closer.
She abruptly pulled Lu Yichen to hide behind the pillars.
âShh!â She nervously raised up a finger to shush Lu Yichen .
Lu Yichen knitted his brows. âAre you so afraid of letting him see you?â
