Lu Yichen saw her odd behavior and looked amused. But he didn’t ask her what she was doing, cutting straight to the point.
“So what did you want to talk about?”
“Well…” Mu Xiaoxiao responded vaguely and said with a fawning smile, “I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Okay, shoot,” 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 Xiaoxiao’s bright eyes curved. “Since you have such impressive grades, you should have notes, right? Can you lend me your Year One notes?”
“You want to use it to study?” Lu Yichen immediately picked up on her intention.
“Yeah!” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded unashamedly, scratching her head as she said, “Since I studied overseas, I’m not familiar with the syllabus taught in China. So for the last exam… I got lousy grades. It’s not that I’m stupid! I’ve had good grades during elementary school! So.. I wanted to get some tuition for the Year One’s syllabus so that I can get better grades on the next exam.”
An Zhixin’s 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, “You’re very good at English, so you don’t have to make up for that. The subjects you are bad at are Mathematics and Chinese?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. “How do you know that my English is good?”
Lu Yichen said, smiling, “Didn’t you get full marks for it? The teachers have been talking about it. Even Year Three’s English teacher use your essays as models.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao’s mouth formed an “O” and she asked in amazement, “Is that true? The Year Threes are using my essays as models?”
“Yeah, you write very well.” Lu Yichen praised her and continued saying, “As for Mathematics and Chinese, you should have studied Mathematics overseas, right?”
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, but the progression isn’t the same. I’ve 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.”
Hearing that, Lu Yichen could immediately tell the level of her knowledge. It seemed that she was indeed a smart girl.
He said, “As for Chinese, you don’t have to make up for what was taught in junior high. As long as you are familiar with Year One’s material, it won’t be too hard to get a good grade.”
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, “That’s what I thought too! But, Classical Chinese is so difficult. I can’t even understand a word of it… Oh, that doesn’t 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 don’t even know what they mean.”
“If this is the case…” Lu Yichen was about to continue saying.
Suddenly, a bunch of excited girly shrieks interrupted him.
“Ah! Young Master Jie! Is Young Master Jie in physical education class now? Young Master Jie looks so dashing wearing a jersey!”
“Yeah! 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!”
“Me too! Me too!”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s smile stiffened.
The shrieks drew closer and closer.
She abruptly pulled Lu Yichen to hide behind the pillars.
“Shh!” She nervously raised up a finger to shush Lu Yichen .
Lu Yichen knitted his brows. “Are you so afraid of letting him see you?”
