117 Not Perverted Enough
Simon didn’t talk much, but the timing was just right every time he struck up a conversation. Frank’s little mouth never stopped. The guests and host enjoyed the meal.
After the meal, since Frank and Simon knew that Vivian was pregnant, they tactfully cleaned the kitchen. Vivian couldn’t stop them, so she was pushed back to her room by Leon to take a nap.
Vivian was feeling drowsy right after lunch. She couldn’t persuade Leon to lie down on the bed. Then, she instructed Leon to take the game console and play with her classmates. After that, she fell asleep.
Leon gently covered Vivian with a blanket, then went to the first floor. He took out the game console that Vivian had bought for him earlier from the TV cabinet.
When Frank saw the game console, he immediately plugged the cable into the TV and inserted the card into the game console. The game page quickly appeared on the TV.
Simon knew about game consoles, but he had never had the chance to touch them. When he sat side by side with everyone on the ground, he looked at them curiously.
When Leon noticed this, he didn’t say anything. There were only two game controllers, and Frank, a game enthusiast, didn’t think much about it. He took one and started to choose a game. He asked excitedly, “Are we playing Contra or Super Mario?”
Leon picked up the other one. “Super Mario.”
After the game started, Frank was no longer as talkative as he usually was. He played very seriously and didn’t say much. On the other hand, Leon talked about the game from time to time. He didn’t deliberately talk to anyone, as if he was talking to himself.
After hearing it a few times, Simon finally reacted and looked at Leon, his eyes slightly moved.
After two rounds, Leon passed the game controller to Simon. “You play. I’ll read a book on the sofa.”
Simon took it in a daze and said softly, “Thank you,” he said.
Leon didn’t say anything. He got up, took out the mathematics paper under the coffee table, and started studying.
Usually, Frank did not feel anything when he played at home. However, with someone accompanying him at Leon’s house, he did not get tired of playing for two hours.
It was not until he felt a little thirsty that Frank turned around and found that Leon was doing a math problem. He frowned in surprise. “You can still do the questions in such a noisy environment?”
Leon’s hand kept writing down the answer to a multiple-choice question, and he replied indifferently, “I must have bought the wrong questions. This test paper is too simple. I don’t even need to do any calculations or deductions. Even if you put a stereo in my ear, it won’t affect me.”
Frank, who didn’t understand the question, was speechless.
Frank only knew that Leon usually didn’t listen to the class and often read strange books, such as Critique of Political Economy, mathematics, and economics. At that time, he thought that it would be needed for the mid-term examination, but now he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Simon curiously took a closer look. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is this high school knowledge? I’ve been studying the middle school third-year textbooks in advance recently, but I don’t think I’ve seen these points.”
While they were talking, Leon had already done several multiple-choice questions, “These are the questions for the first grade of high school. The bookstore people said these are the best-selling exercise books for high school students. Are the exercise questions so easy these days?”
When Simon heard this, he borrowed an exercise book from Leon. He flipped to the cover and smiled. “The series released by this publishing house targets most students with average learning ability. You should buy the ‘golden exam paper’ series. There are both exam papers and practice questions. It’s a practice book that many people in our country choose to compete in International Mathematical Olympiad competitions. You’re so powerful. This is the most suitable choice. Don’t you know this?”
Leon shook his head. “This is the first book I’ve bought.”
In the past, when Leon had saved enough money, he would buy textbooks to learn in advance. He had originally wanted to skip grades earlier so that he could save on tuition fees. Every penny had to be used on the blade, so where would he find the extra money to buy these?
Simon’s eyes widened. “You can understand all the knowledge just by reading?”
Leon thought for a while. “I don’t know if it’s considered thorough, but my answers for the exam are always right.”
Simon’s eyes twinkled with little stars of adoration. “You’re so amazing. I want to learn from you! I’ve only read half of the first volume for the third year of middle school. I need to speed up!”
Frank, who hadn’t even understood his second year of junior high modulus: “..”
Seeing that Simon had also joined in on Leon, Frank finally understood that it was because he wasn’t perverted enough that he didn’t fit in with them. Who would still be doing practice questions on a weekend? Who would start learning the courses of the third of middle school and first year of high school when they had nothing to do in the second year of middle school?
With tears in his eyes, Frank turned around and changed the game to Contra. He planned to continue fighting for another 300 rounds to calm his heart that had been stimulated by these two people.
