Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Okay, if you study using my method, I guarantee you can improve your scores in these two subjects by 40 or 50 points combined."

Jiang Yubai: "?"

"Are you serious?" His face was full of doubt. "Two subjects... forty or fifty points combined?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Jianxia pouted. "Do you really expect me to raise your score by fifty points in Chinese alone? The biggest boost will definitely come from English."

"How do we bring it up?" Jiang Yubai asked, her face full of curiosity.

It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to broaden my horizons.

"It's very simple. You just need to master the answer templates for Chinese," Lin Jianxia said. "The most important thing is vocabulary."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai immediately lost interest:

"I thought it was something else... My Chinese is okay, but the problem is I can't remember English words."

"Can't remember?" Lin Jianxia frowned. "How could that be... You just don't want to remember, right?"

Jiang Yubai let out a soft "uh," readily admitting it:

"If you put it that way... that's actually acceptable."

Essentially, his parents never put pressure on his grades, consistently adhering to the educational principle that "grades are up to fate, but character must be upright."

If Jiang Yubai said that he failed both Chinese and English, his parents would just nod slightly and say, "Try harder next time."

But if he dares to say:

"Mom and Dad, I got a girl pregnant. Give me some money so I can go with her to the hospital for a minor surgery."

That.......

He would be 100% whipped by his parents with a brass belt, spinning like a top.

That's why Jiang Yubai has indeed gotten a bit too comfortable.

I'm good at math and physics, so I'll just focus on those two subjects.

Chinese and English are a headache, so I just casually memorize the texts a bit. As for English vocabulary...

That's what you call going with the flow.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai sighed:

"I said...isn't there any other way?"

He had asked casually, but to his surprise, Lin Jianxia hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.

"some."

Jiang Yubai's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Lin Jianxia, ​​with a stern face, spoke in a serious tone:

"First, find a Doraemon, then pull out a very magical bread from its pocket..."

"—Then you put bread on top of the vocabulary book and made it look like you were feeding me, right?!" Jiang Yubai loudly complained, "I watched Doraemon when I was a kid, you know!"

Lin Jianxia slammed his hand on the table:

"Otherwise what? There's no way to improve your English grades without memorizing vocabulary!"

Jiang Yubai actually thought about it seriously for a moment, and tentatively asked:

"I think the thought process you used to teach me about understanding question types was quite useful, so how about...?"

"That's Chinese..." Lin Jianxia felt exhausted. "You can't even understand the questions in English, how am I supposed to teach you how to solve them..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai spread his hands and began to speak:

"Well, there's nothing I can do then. It seems like you'll just have to keep trying on your own."

Lin Jianxia stared at him, and just when Jiang Yubai thought this guy was finally going to give up on the topic, she suddenly spoke softly:

"Jiang Yubai".

Jiang Yu blinked.

"If... you can really stick to memorizing vocabulary."

She paused, and her ears seemed to turn slightly red again:

"I'll... I'll give you a little reward, how about that?"

Chapter 56 guarantees your satisfaction!

Tuesday morning, English class.

"Finally, I'd like to say that our class's results in this mock exam were far from ideal."

On the podium, Mrs. Zhang held a stack of test papers in her hand, her heartbroken voice echoing throughout the classroom through the microphone.

"Lin Tingwan and Wu Xiaotang performed exceptionally well, and I would like to give them a brief commendation."

"but!"

Her tone suddenly turned sharp, and her gaze swept sharply to one side:

"Zhang Minghao! You got four out of five reading comprehension questions wrong. Did you fill in the answer sheet with your feet?"

"Li Siqi! In a cloze test with twenty blanks, how could you only get three right? Even if you just randomly filled in five or more!"

"And you, Wu Shaofan..."

After the Khan reviewed each of her troops in a grand procession, her gaze fell on the figure closest to the podium, and she sighed with a complex tone:

"Jiang Yubai..."

She choked for a long time, seemingly unsure how to begin, and finally could only helplessly say:

"...I won't say much more, just one sentence: memorize more vocabulary, okay?"

"Alright, get out of class dismissed."

Because of the light rain, the morning exercises were canceled, resulting in an extra 20-minute break in the classroom.

Suddenly, the classroom became noisy and bustling.

Some were sneaking snacks, others were taking the opportunity to catch up on sleep, and still others were huddled together chatting quietly, each enjoying this rare moment of free time.

Li Yang was about to go to the restroom. He walked along the corridor and paused when he passed Jiang Yu's white table. Then he turned back.

He looked at his best friend, who was holding an English textbook and muttering to himself, and for a moment he felt like the sky had fallen.

"Hey Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yu didn't even look up:

"Memorizing vocabulary words, can't you tell?"

"..."

Li Yang hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, before cautiously speaking:

"Brother Jiang, Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything to you, did she? It really doesn't have to be like this..."

"Get lost, get lost! Can't I just suddenly want to learn some English?" Jiang Yu waved her hand, paused, and then stood up briskly. "Never mind, let's go to the bathroom."

"Hey Jiang, are you possessed by something weird?"

"Hehe, be careful tonight. I'll come find you when I transform."

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other, their bickering gradually fading away around the corner of the corridor.

Lin Jianxia's gaze followed that figure, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

But the next second, she felt a figure hesitantly stop beside her table.

Lin Jianxia immediately suppressed her smile, lowered her eyes, and stared blankly at her textbook.

“That… Lin Tingwan.”

A hesitant voice came from beside me.

Lin Jianxia pondered for a moment, and it seemed to be... Zhao Yun?

Why did she come to see me?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, the words she heard made her heart skip a beat.

"...Could you please apologize to Jiang Yubai for me?"

"It's about Dong Chengze. I actually knew about the rumors he spread about my relationship with Jiang Yubai."

"But because... well, instead of clarifying, I was actually quite pleased with it and even smug about it."

"But I didn't expect this to cause him so much trouble... So, please help me say sorry."

"Also... Jiang Yubai is a very good person."

That's all, thanks.

These words seemed to have been bottled up inside her for a long time. After saying them, Zhao Yun let out a long sigh and then hurriedly turned and left.

Lin Jianxia was left sitting there, blinking blankly.

.....ha?

-----------------

Jiang Yubai chatted with his best friend for a few more minutes before sitting back down in his seat.

He looked at the English textbook in front of him, sighed deeply, and began to memorize it again.

"Abandon, abandon."

As soon as I finished reading one, I heard a rustling sound.

Jiang Yubai turned his head and saw that Lin Jianxia had pushed the familiar draft notebook to the center line of the desk.

What the heck? Why are you looking for me now?

A sense of curiosity arose in his heart. He took the draft and was stunned when he saw the line of words.

Zhao Yun just came to apologize to you.
