Such a childhood, to be honest, was truly dull.
With this thought, Su Yan, beaming, tried to reason with his younger sister, "Erke, it’s not that serious. You’re only in elementary school. The college entrance exams are—"
Before Su Yan could finish, Su Erke stood up and criticized, "Don’t you grin at me like that! How could I have an older brother like you!"
"Look at other people’s older brothers, older sisters, fathers, and mothers! If they lose even one point, they get criticized for ages!"
"But you! As my older brother, not only do you not criticize me, you’re even thinking about warping my values! You’re truly making me worry!"
After finishing her tirade, Su Erke sat down again, her small, round face stern and her eyebrows tightly furrowed, looking every bit like a parent scolding their child.
Su Yan watched, somewhat speechless. Has my little sister gone mad from reading too many novels? To actually complain about a 99! And even drag the college entrance exams into it. This kid must be seriously messed up, he thought.
With this in mind, Su Yan said rather irritably, "I’m serious, Erke. 99 points is really grea—"
Before he could finish speaking again, Su Erke suddenly pulled a stick out from who knows where. She handed it to her brother with a serious expression, shouting loudly, "Hit me!"
Su Yan, hearing this, was dumbfounded for a moment. He asked uncertainly, "Hit... hit you?"
"I did too poorly! This is the punishment I deserve!" As she spoke, Su Erke proactively lay across the sofa, presenting her backside to her brother. Then she urged him, "What are you dawdling for? Hit me, so I’ll learn my lesson!"
Su Yan was at a loss for words for a moment but, seeing his sister’s adamant demand, eventually picked up the stick and tapped her bottom lightly. "There, I’ve hit you. That’s enough, right?"
After speaking, he started to put down the stick.
But his little sister was not satisfied. Frowning, she said, "Harder! What, haven’t you eaten?"
Seeing her brother unmoved, Su Erke urged again, "Hit me, harder! Otherwise, I might still score 99 in math next time!"
"Well... I’ll hit harder then." After saying that, Su Yan put a bit more strength into the blow. There was a sharp SMACK!
That sounded quite painful, he thought.
"Keep going!" Su Erke continued her intense demands. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Su Yan felt he was about to lose his composure, but he still obliged her request and struck her a few more times with the stick. When he finished, he tossed the stick away as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He said to his little sister, "Alright, you’ve been hit. Are we good now, crazy Erke?"
"No, we’re not!" Su Erke’s voice was very determined. Then she continued, "You also need to take my phone away, and lock the TV while you’re at it!"
"From now on, I’m not allowed any leisure time; all of it should be scheduled for studying!"
Su Yan said helplessly, "Alright, alright, all your holidays will be dedicated to studying. Let’s go have dinner first. Mom’s about done with the cooking."
After saying that, Su Yan stood up, ready to leave.
But no sooner had he mentioned dinner than Su Erke became displeased, immediately voicing her criticism, "Eat what dinner? You scored so low and you still have the nerve to eat?"
"You’re not going anywhere either! Go buy me more basic practice workbooks—all math!"
"Uh... if you like..." After this, Su Yan left to go buy the workbooks.
Although my little sister is a bit fanatical about studying now, it’s still much better than when she used to spend all day glued to her phone reading novels. If she wants to study, then let her study! I’ll go out and buy her a few workbooks so she can have a real blast studying during the summer vacation!
With these thoughts, Su Yan had already stepped out the door, preparing to use Airwalking to go buy the workbooks.
And just as he was about to take off, the dual-sword-wielding man he had encountered at the corner on his way home last night suddenly appeared before him.
"Su Yan, let’s get acquainted," the man said with a smile as he looked at Su Yan.
