Chapter Fifty-two

  This summer vacation, the Qi family is even more lively. There's Shi Chengyu, who rarely speaks but has a strong presence, and Qin Wan, who is enthusiastic and generous. The whole house feels more full. Just as I came downstairs, I saw Shi Chengyu sitting at the dinner table staring off into space, and Yu Cai's mouth curled up slightly. Well, in any case, this is a pitiful child, a child who needs attention. Our usually kind and respectful teacher Yu Cai has finally adjusted her attitude and started treating this young boy with warmth, after he was mentally traumatized by his own teacher's overreaction.

  Considering that Qi Shu had to leave at 7:30, the Qi family always had breakfast around 7 o'clock. Several people ate breakfast leisurely and took the opportunity to bond with each other, which was just right.

  The addition of Qin Wan's beautiful woman obviously made last year's harmonious but slightly less lively breakfast more lively, Yu Cai smiled and listened to Qi Shu Fan and Qin Wan talking and laughing, but her heart was secretly uncomfortable, feeling that her own things were being taken away by others. When Yu Cai realized this, she was shocked, okay, she had indeed entered the play too deeply, in the Qi family, she was just a passerby, just Qi Shu Fan's tutor, how could she have such feelings?

  "Xiao Cai——"

  Yu Cai slightly raised the corners of her mouth, indicating that she was listening.

  "Last year after you left, every day when I had breakfast, I thought how good it would be if you were still here."

  Yu Cai's mouth curved downward, but she didn't respond. Qi Shu Fan looked at her strangely, "Xiao Cai, is the food not to your taste?"

  "No, it's fine, I like it."

  "Qibook Fan became even more bizarre, 'Xiao Cai, are you still blaming me?'"

  "Uh, no way?" Yu Cai pinched her own leg and put on the brightest smile, "Dear Uncle, your dear niece doesn't have the guts to be rude to you".

  Qibook Fan still felt a bit strange, but didn't pursue the matter further, changing the subject, "If you can't find me for something, just give Xiao Xiao a call, and if you're missing anything, you can also ask her to help you".

  Yu Cai sighed, "One month is really too short, it would be great if we could have three months!"

  "You're always lazy, how come you've never heard of asking for leave?"

  "No way, my fragile heart can't take too much pressure. Why don't you ask our class teacher to help me get a month's leave and then go to the hospital to get a fake medical certificate or something? Going back to school in August? Are you kidding me? I'll be roasted like a dried fish!"

  "I won't help you with something that will mislead others. If your dad finds out, then I and Shì Zhī won't be able to see you again."

  "But he won't know that, and on such a hot day, can you bear to put your dear niece in the steamer like a crab?"

  Qishu Fan burst out laughing, "You little scamp!"

  Yu Zai made a melancholic expression, "I really hope I can go to college soon, so I won't have to inform my parents every time I take a few days off. This world is unfair, minors don't have human rights!"

  When good-hearted people remind you, "You are still a minor when you enter university".

  Yu Cai Hei Xian looked at him and said, "My dear uncle, can't you say something comforting to soothe my fragile heart?"

  "I think your fragile heart needs not beautiful lies, but cruel reality. The former makes you stagnate, the latter prompts you to move forward steadily."

  Speechless, okay, Qishu Fan, I admit it's still you who is formidable, even this was brought up by you.

  After walking away, Yu Zai Chao Qin smiled and ran upstairs, carrying a large stack of books down. "Let me take over, I was originally planning to ask He Qi to help you with math tutoring, but since I'm here, let me do it instead. When I can't handle it later on, I'll let He Qi take over, okay?"

  Qizhi nodded, and Yucai smiled and said, "Qizhi, you're really good at talking. Every time I ask Yucan to read books or something, he always gets away with not doing it, that's absolutely impossible. Come on, do this set of exercises first, let me see where you should start making up for."

  Then, Ji Xi started doing test papers, and Yu Cai began to do math problems. It's said that this math really made her poor brain cells die in large numbers!

  Without a word, he walked in and started searching through a large pile of books on the table for his own.

  When the third one was done, Yu Cai spoke up and said, "It seems like your math foundation in junior high school wasn't very good. How about we start reviewing from junior high school?"

  Qī shì zhī diǎn tóu, yù cǎi shēn le gè lǎn yāo, "shù xué a, wǒ xīn zhōng yǒng yuǎn de tòng!"

  Translation:

  He nodded and stretched his waist lazily, "Mathematics, the eternal pain in my heart!"

  He Qi laughed and said, "Yu Cai, I think you never study English, but English is always the first, every day studying math, how can you only hover around the passing line?"

  "Maybe in my past life I was Zu Chongzhi, and I used up all my math talent, so this life I can only be a math idiot."

  He Qi threw her a disdainful glance, "Don't insult Zuchongzi anymore".

  Yu Cai looked at the time and saw it was almost eleven o'clock, got up and walked around the house, "Qin Wan sister, you don't have to be polite here, if there's anything we can help with, just let us know".

  "Rest assured, we won't be polite."

  "Sometimes I give lectures to Ah Shi, if you find it noisy, go to the study room upstairs."

  "Good, I think Yu likes it, Xiao Cai, you're also about to enter high school soon, can you tutor Shi and keep up with your own studies?"

  Yu Cai nodded, "I told him that I can also learn from it, and there's no conflict."

  "If you're too busy, ask me for help, I'm bilingual and it's not bad, the college entrance exam relied on bilingual to pull scores"

  Yu Cai felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart, "No need to, my pocket money all comes from this, Qin Wan sister mustn't snatch my rice bowl".

  Qin Wan's expression changed and she burst out laughing, "Look at what you're saying, does your uncle still care about this?"

  Yu Cai smiled and turned to He Qi, "He Qi, my level is at most able to help Ji Xizhe with some junior high math, for high school it's up to you, I'll also listen in".

  "That's Uncle Qi paying your salary, I'll take half of it."

  Yu Cai forced a smile and said, "He Qi, I've found that you're getting more and more deserving of a beating".

  "How innocent you are! 'Brothers should settle accounts clearly', you have to settle accounts with your brother Sha as well, let alone me?"

  "Indeed, you're quite deserving of a beating."

  "How dare you! Ah Shi, don't bully me just because I don't have an older sister!"

  Qin Wan smiled and bowed his head, "You are really cute".

  "What's wrong with you? Qin Wan Jie, I'm a man, mind your words."

  Qin Wan smiled even more brightly then.
