My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 99: Are you saying that my brother deceived me?
As it turns out, not just anyone can become a top student.
Even with Xu Jiayan personally tutoring him, Young Master Xu merely scraped by with average marks, without even making it to the top ten of his class, let alone the top ten of the grade.
However, the old man either forgot or saw that he had been relatively serious lately, and afterwards, he didn’t bring up finding a parent again.
So Young Master Xu dodged a bullet.
Just as he was secretly relieved and couldn’t help feeling smug, Jiang Yuan asked nonchalantly, "Have you never considered that there may have never been a thing such as making it to the top ten in your grade?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Jinyan stalled for a moment.
Jiang Yuan blinked her sparkling, bright eyes and said, "Do you think the old man believes you can make it into the top ten of the grade? I bet that even if you dare to claim it, he wouldn’t believe it."
Anyways, she didn’t believe it.
Xu Jinyan: "Are you saying that my brother tricked me?"
Jiang Yuan looked at him with her innocent, harmless big eyes and said, "I’m just sharing my thoughts. As for whether Brother Yan tricked you or not, I think you can go ask him yourself!"
Xu Jinyan actually pretty much agreed with her thoughts deep down. He thought it was something impossible to achieve. Initially, he felt that the old man purposefully made things difficult for him and never considered that the whole situation might have entirely been his brother’s own idea.
So, there wasn’t any agreement at all, and it was just his brother wanting him to be in the top ten?
"Why didn’t you warn me earlier?" Young Master Xu looked at her with a grievous face.
Did she know how much hardship he had gone through studying for the exam, how much sleep he lost?
Jiang Yuan blinked her eyes innocently and said, "Why should I have warned you? Isn’t studying hard a good thing? Besides, even though you didn’t make it to the top ten of the grade, you’ve still made significant progress. Keep it up, and who knows, maybe one day you’ll really make it."
Xu Jinyan: ...
He found himself speechless.
West City is a warm and humid city with abundant rainfall during the summer, and mid-July is when the temperatures are at their highest, averaging 30 degrees and reaching up to 40 degrees.
Under the scorching sun, the air is filled with stifling heat, and outside it feels like a massive steamer, making people anxious.
"Sigh—"
"Sigh—"
Inside the villa, two faint sighs rose at the same time.
Lying on the living room floor working on his homework, Young Master Xu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yuan beside him, "Why are you sighing?"
"And why are you sighing?" Miss Jiang retorted.
Xu Jinyan: "I don’t want to do homework!"
Jiang Yuan: "I don’t want to do homework either."
"Why are you copying what I say?" Young Master Xu frowned and glared at her.
Jiang Yuan: "I’m not!" She really didn’t want to do her homework.
Xu Jinyan looked at her suspiciously for a moment: "Aren’t you a top student? Do top students also not want to do homework?"
Jiang Yuan curled her lip and said, "Is that so weird?"
Top students are human too, who said top students can’t not want to do homework?
She became a top student because she was smart, not because she did a lot of homework.
Xu Jinyan: ...
He felt like what she said made a lot of sense.
"How about we both just don’t do it?" Young Master Xu’s eyes suddenly lit up as he suggested.
If he had Jiang Xiao Yuan not doing homework with him, Lin Xiaowan and his brother wouldn’t scold him.
Jiang Yuan: "It’s me not doing it, but you have to do it."
"Why?" Young Master Xu protested.
He had only ever heard of underachievers not doing homework, never that a top student can skip while an underachiever must do it.
Jiang Yuan: "I’m not doing it because I already know it all, are you not doing it because you have a bigger face?"
Xu Jinyan: ...
Your face is big, your whole family’s faces are big.
