Chapter 724: Chapter 722: The Sprightly Girl
The three children finished their sodas and started on their homework.
Wang Li’s foundations were not very strong, and now it was rare for him to seriously focus on his homework. After working on a few problems, he had to seek help from Jiang Mianmian.
There were many concepts he didn’t understand because he often neglected his studies during class and lacked the basics, which is why even if he wanted to understand, he couldn’t.
Jiang Mianmian could only explain the concepts to him one by one.
Her explanations were deep yet simple and easy to understand; Wang Li remembered them after listening just once. Fresh chapters posted on NoveI[F]ire.net
Actually, Wang Li wasn’t dumb; he was merely playful. Always skipping class, that was why his grades never improved.
After Jiang Mianmian’s tutoring, Wang Li’s homework became much easier, and he finished five problems in one go before his old habits kicked in.
He held his pen, occasionally casting stealthy glances at Jiang Mianmian, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang Mianmian, engrossed in her studies, didn’t notice Wang Li’s small actions.
Li Lan did notice, though she had no desire to deal with Wang Li. Just by looking at him, she knew he was up to no good.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Wang Li prodded Jiang Mianmian’s arm with his pen and said with a fawning look, “Um, Jiang Mianmian, I’m tired of writing. Can I watch your TV for a bit?”
Jiang Mianmian looked up at the clock and realized he had been writing seriously for less than an hour…
However, given his past inability to sit still, she didn’t hold him to a high standard.
She nodded in agreement, “Sure, go ahead. But you can only watch for ten minutes, and keep the volume low, so as not to disturb our homework.”
“Mm-hmm, sure, don’t worry, I’ll keep it really quiet, I won’t disturb you two at all,” said Wang Li cheerfully as he ran to the living room and excitedly turned on the TV.
Hahaha, fantastic, he could watch color TV again!
Though his family owned a television as well, it was black and white, which was nothing compared to the joy of watching in color.
Wang Li found a cartoon to watch, and only after ten minutes had passed did he reluctantly turn off the TV and return to his homework.
There was no helping it, as a man he had to keep his word.
Besides, if he didn’t keep his promises, how could he have the face to ask Jiang Mianmian to watch TV again in the future?
Meanwhile, Su Wanyu was being surrounded and complimented by her female colleagues at work.
Today, she had put on lipstick and drawn eyeliner for work, which considerably elevated her entire aura and made her stand out.
“Xiao Su, you look really radiant today, and your eyes are big and bright. This exchange program in Haicheng even seems to be nourishing for you, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, Xiao Su, your eyes are particularly spirited today, you look as fresh as a young girl. And it seems like your skin has improved a lot too,” said her office colleagues as they closely inspected Su Wanyu and lavished praise on her.
Elated inside from the compliments, Su Wanyu still pretended to commiserate with her colleagues, “Ah, you got it wrong there. During those days in Haicheng, I had to report in from eight in the morning to five in the evening, study all day, and then come back to sort out notes and reports. It’s more tiring than working here, no chance for replenishing at all.”
“It’s always like that, we were just as tired when we went before.”
Two colleagues who had also been to Haicheng for training knew that what Su Wanyu said was true, without any exaggeration.
However, they were puzzled, “But how come you look so well-rested now?”
