My subject turned into a beautiful girl

At 9:20 p.m., the bell rang to signal the end of the third evening self-study session, and the vast campus awoke from its quiet state once more, returning to its lively atmosphere.

This time, the excitement was slightly different from the previous two times; many people began packing their schoolbags, preparing to go home.

Because it is located in the city center, Jingjiang Middle School's land area is inevitably limited. Even the track and field stadium is scaled down proportionally, with a circular track that is only 250 meters long.

Similarly, the two dormitory buildings at Jingjiang Middle School cannot accommodate too many people. Unless a student lives far away or is in their senior year of high school, it is difficult to apply for a dormitory place, so most students are day students.

An Yi is one of the day students. His home is in a community six kilometers away from the school, with several direct bus routes. When the weather is nice, he can also ride a bicycle to and from the school, so his commute is quite convenient.

"Brother! I will never forget your great kindness!"

Holding the math study plan personally designed by Xia Qing, An Yi looked as if she were about to burst into tears.

The phrase "great kindness and virtue" is not an exaggeration here, but rather a simple description.

Because, the moment the study plan was completed and the bell rang, another screen of light appeared—

Taking advantage of her good mood regarding math, you invite her shopping again.

Shopping corresponds to carrying out learning activities according to the schedule, a point An Yi had already figured out from the beginning. What truly made him feel that Xia Qing's actions had done him a "great favor" was the subsequent content on the light screen.

Although she's happy about math, she's not so happy as to forget that you've stood her up so many times. She wants you to follow the usual practice and tell her your complete shopping plan before making a decision.

[Mathematics has listened to your shopping plan for this trip.]

Mathematics was amazed!

Originally, I thought I would hear something similar to the previous shopping plans, and that she would wait for me to perform well for a while before considering agreeing to my request.

But to Math's surprise, this time, your shopping plans are completely different from before.

[Regarding the time allocation, you've removed the previous restrictions and only set the order in which you want to visit the places. This seems to greatly improve both feasibility and the overall experience. You've also provided detailed descriptions of the worthwhile sights and activities in each place, which shows that you've really done a lot of preparation this time...maybe even visited the sites in person?]

[Surprised by the realization that you might really be about to change, Math happily accepted your invitation to go shopping this time.]

[Mathematically speaking, if you manage to keep her satisfied with the entire visit this time, instead of canceling or leaving early again, she'll consider forgetting all the unpleasant things that happened before... and might even give you a small gift.]

Not only can it help you "forget about unpleasant things," but it also comes with a "little gift"!!!

An Yi realized almost immediately what was hidden in this seemingly ordinary sentence.

A huge amount of favorability, and potentially an incredibly powerful buff!

You see, the simple bag of baking soda crackers and the ordinary bag of toast he had previously obtained from math had already reduced the difficulty of his studies to almost nothing, allowing him to completely master all the high school functions in just two or three hours!

If an item with such a powerful effect is still classified as "ordinary food," then something that even mathematics considers a "gift" must have a weak effect, right?

It's no exaggeration to say that all of this is thanks to my eldest brother.

This learning plan was tailor-made for An Yi by Xia Qing.

Unlike before, Xia Qing did not allocate a specific amount of time for each subject in his study plan.

When An Yi asked about this, Xia Qing explained it this way: she asked, "Have you ever traveled?"

"Tourism?" An Yi was taken aback.

"Yes, tourism, whether it's long or short trips."

"That has happened before."

"So, try to treat learning like a trip."

"That's difficult..." An Yi's eyes twitched slightly.

"A metaphor, just a metaphor!"

Xia Qing grinned, "Imagine if you were traveling, and you set time limits for every place you wanted to go, down to the minute or hour... Would that still be considered traveling? Wouldn't you find it exhausting?"

"tired."

An Yi nodded, "This doesn't feel like a vacation anymore, it feels more like we're completing some kind of mission..."

"Yes, travel should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. How can it be relaxing and enjoyable when it becomes a task?"

Xia Qing nodded. "The same principle applies to studying. The more rigidly you set a time limit, the more it's like setting a strict task for yourself. But who likes to carry out a task?"

Moreover, everyone's learning state fluctuates, let alone your situation where the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" works sometimes and sometimes not.

If you set a goal and then can't complete it, isn't that equivalent to failure? Failing once or twice might be okay, but if you fail too many times, how can you continue to complete the task? Naturally, it will lead to giving up completely.

So, there's no need to set a specific timeframe; just have a goal and a sequence. Study more when you're in a good mood, and play more when you're not. Setting time limits will only make it harder to complete your study plan, which is more harmful than beneficial.

Xia Qing paused.

"As for saying 'no time limit, easy to play'... please, it's not like having a time limit means you really won't play! Instead of getting stuck on formalities, making yourself uncomfortable, and wasting time, why not be more carefree and play to your heart's content!"

"Brother, your words have been a wake-up call!" An Yi was immediately and completely convinced.

"No big deal, continue..."

Using Xia Qing's abilities to analyze all the areas where An Yi's grasp of high school mathematics was weak and to tailor a study plan accordingly is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—a waste of her talent.

Both of these points perfectly correspond to the changes in the "Shopping Plan" displayed on the light screen!

An Yi increasingly felt that clinging to his older brother's coattails was a wise decision. If he had relied entirely on his own efforts, how could he have received so many rewards and good news so quickly?

Such a great kindness should, according to custom, be followed by the line "I have no way to repay this kindness but to offer myself in gratitude."

But for his elder brother, this would be considered repaying kindness with enmity, which An Yi could not possibly accept, so he could only offer a dry, verbal expression of gratitude.

"It's nothing, keep it up!"

Xia Qing waved her hand dismissively and returned to her seat, packing her things to go home.

Wang Xinze, An Yi's good friend who had switched seats with him, also returned at this time. He packed his things without saying a word, his eyes wide open as he scanned An Yi back and forth, as if trying to see through him.

An Yi deliberately kept quiet and began to tidy up.

Long ago, every time he finished school, he wished he could stuff all the books and workbooks for all subjects into his schoolbag and take them home. At that time, his thought was roughly, "I want to use the time to review all the subjects."

He stopped doing that after starting high school, because he couldn't fit it in his pocket and accepted the fact that he wouldn't be able to read it... Besides, it was quite heavy to carry around.

He only packed the "53" textbook and his study plan, then slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned his chair upside down on the table.

Wang Xinze also made the same move at the right time, and the two went out one after the other.
