Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Baima gathered the clothes on the chair and tossed them aside: "Sometimes when friends come over to play games, I can use them."

Wen Shu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Baima then led her to see the other rooms on the second floor: the gym, the media room, the study, and so on, pushing open each room one by one until they finally returned to Wenshu's room.

"We were in a rush and didn't have time to properly decorate your room. If you see anything you need, just tell Sister Jiang and she'll get it for you."

"Um……"

Wen Shu didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Sister Bai Ma, can I install a computer like you have in your room?"

Just as Baima was about to agree, he heard a roar.

"Wen Shu!"

Wenjing frowned: "You moved here to go to school, not to play games?"

Wen Shu stuck out her tongue and shrank her neck: "I was just asking..."

"Why are you asking?"

Wenjing said irritably, "Your brother-in-law arranged for you to be a day student so that you would have a quiet environment to study, not so that you could enjoy yourself."

"I know, I know."

Wen Shu nodded repeatedly, her attitude in front of her sister was impeccably obedient.

Wenjing wanted to say a few more words of advice when Ding Heng's voice came at just the right time.

"Wenjing, come here for a moment and take a look at this."

"coming!"

Wenjing responded and turned to go downstairs.

Bai Ma immediately leaned close to Wen Shu's ear and said, "It's okay, you can use the two in my room."

Wen Shu turned her head to look at her, blinked, and made a "shh" gesture at her.

They looked at each other, understanding each other without words.

After lunch, Baima and Wenshu sat side by side on the sofa in the media room, with tea, snacks and juice in front of them. A variety show was playing on the TV, which made them burst into laughter.

Ding Heng stood at the door for a while, but did not go in to disturb them.

Judging from the current situation, Wen Shu is better than he imagined in terms of both emotional intelligence and communication skills, and she has Bai Ma completely won over.

Perhaps it's because I've been interacting with a lot of wealthy kids at a private high school lately, and that's given me some experience?

Sister Jiang poked her head out from the kitchen: "Mr. Ding, what would you like for dinner? I'd like to make arrangements in advance."

"Just do it your way."

"Row."

Sister Jiang shrank back, and the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

A while later, Wenshu came downstairs with an empty teacup in her hand.

She walked to the kitchen door and asked Sister Jiang, "Sister Jiang, where should I wash this?"

Sister Jiang took it: "Just give it to me."

Wen Shu thanked her and turned to leave.

"Wen Shu."

Ding Heng called out to her.

Wen Shu stopped and turned around.

"Brother-in-law, is something the matter?"

"I want to say thank you."

"Brother-in-law, what are you thanking me for?"

"I'm willing to move here to be with Baima."

Ding Heng said sincerely, "That girl doesn't have many friends. Now that you're here, at least she'll have someone to keep her company."

Wen Shu chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you being so polite with me? You're so good to my sister, so isn't it only right that I help you take care of your younger sister?"

Ding Heng sighed and laughed.

Although this girl doesn't have Baima's quirky and clever spirit, she is indeed much more mature in her speech and actions than Baima.

"Oh, right."

Ding Heng put down his teacup: "How are your grades lately? I heard from your sister that your ranking has been stuck between 180 and 200?"

Wen Shu secretly glanced at the stairwell to make sure Wen Jing hadn't come down before leaning closer to Ding Heng and lowering her voice.

"Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you, but don't tell my sister."

"You said."

Wen Shu grinned, her smile sly.

"I'm accumulating the prize pool."

"Accumulated prize pool?"

"Yup!"

Wen Shu said matter-of-factly, "I've found that if I keep making progress easily, my sister will just take it for granted! If I regress even slightly in the future, she'll definitely nag me to death."

Ding Heng understood, and was both amused and exasperated: "So you deliberately stuck in a mediocre ranking, neither high nor low?"

"It wasn't intentional."

Wen Shu scratched her head: "Anyway... there's no need to rush too much all at once. There's still a long time before the college entrance exam, so let's take it slow and give my sister something to look forward to."

Hearing her deliberately mature tone, Ding Heng couldn't help but tease her.

"You do have some ideas."

"That's not."

Wen Shu proudly raised her chin, then quickly pulled it back, lowering her voice: "Brother-in-law, you mustn't let it slip. If my sister finds out I'm deliberately not making progress, she'll nag me to death."

Just as Ding Heng was about to speak, footsteps came from the stairs.

Wenjing came down, holding a stack of documents in her hand.

"What are you talking about?"

"nothing."

Wen Shu spoke first, standing up with a grin: "My brother-in-law asked me about my studies."

Wenjing walked up to her and handed her the documents in her hand: "Take a look, this is for the new tutor we hired."

Wen Shu took it and flipped through it; the course schedule was densely packed.

Her lips twitched: "My dear sister, you don't really want me to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, do you?"

Stop being so cheeky.

Wenjing glared at her: "You only have one month left until the end of the semester. If you don't hurry up, it will be even harder to catch up next semester."

Wen Shu said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll try my best!"

Seeing that her attitude was fairly proper, Wenjing's expression softened slightly, but once she started talking, she couldn't stop.

"Also, your math score was only 102 in the last monthly exam, and you got several multiple-choice questions wrong. Let me tell you, with math, if your foundation isn't solid, you won't be able to keep up later. You need to go through all the examples in the textbook from beginning to end..."

"Okay, sis."

"What's the use of knowing? You have to do it."

"I'll start doing it tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? What about today? What did you do all afternoon? Did you really think you were on holiday...?"

Wen Shu was so scolded that she had no temper left and obediently listened to the reprimand with her head down.

Little White Rabbit is a good girl with traditional thinking, but unfortunately, she's too traditional...

Ding Heng, who was listening nearby, was getting tired of hearing it and was secretly worried about their future child.

"Alright, alright, Wenjing, let her catch her breath."

He interrupted Wenjing, got up and went to Wenshu, patted her on the shoulder: "Xiaoshu, if you improve your ranking by twenty places in the next monthly exam, I will reward you with a new cell phone."

Wen Shu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Would your brother-in-law lie to you?"

What phone?

"Buy whatever you like."

Before Wen Shu could thank her, Wen Jing spoke first.

"Ding Heng! Don't spoil her!"

She walked between the two of them, pouting, "Her grades haven't even improved yet, and you're already giving her a reward. She'll be even less willing to study."

Ding Heng shrugged: "There has to be a reward for progress, right? Otherwise, where does the motivation come from?"

Wenjing was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then offered a new price.

"At least in the top 150."

She thought for a moment, then changed her mind: "No, only the top 120 can buy a new phone."

"One hundred and twenty it is."

Wen Shu agreed readily without the slightest hesitation: "Sister, it's a deal."

Wenjing was stunned.

She looked at Wen Shu, then at Ding Heng.

Wen Shu had a confident smile on her face, while Ding Heng's expression was calm and unreadable.

Wenjing suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
