Chapter 222: Chapter 215 Water City

“Yuxin, Yuxin, come quickly…” As soon as Xu Miaomiao saw Tang Yuxin, she started chattering away excitedly. Apparently, they had disagreed on an answer to a question. Each of them insisted they were right, but who was actually correct? They needed Tang Yuxin to settle the dispute.

“You’re both wrong,” Tang Yuxin said, sipping her water, “I’ve already explained the answer to you.”

Xu Miaomiao and Chen Lidong looked at each other, seeing regret in the other’s eyes. If only they’d paid more attention before.

Yes, these questions were actually from the middle school exams that Tang Yuxin remembered. Although she didn’t remember many, it was enough to boost their scores. She hadn’t produced all the questions at once, but she had subtly mentioned some during their regular review sessions. As long as she knew the answer, they should have known it as well.

If they still got it wrong, truth be told, she was at a loss for words. Really.

Both of them lowered their heads, saying nothing, possibly out of shame. Now that they thought about it, Tang Yuxin had indeed explained these questions to them. But they had disregarded them, thinking they were too niche to be in the actual exam. But as it turned out, these were the exact questions that appeared in the examination, all of which they failed to answer, losing points as a result. Regaining these points was now an impossible task, at least until the next life.

Luckily, there were several more subjects to tackle. Both of them became more driven, cramming before the battle. Each picked up their book, reading while eating, their dedication lifting their fathers’ spirits.

It’s good when a child becomes sensible, at the very least, as long as they don’t need to worry about them, everything else is manageable.

By the afternoon, two more subjects were over. Thankfully, it rained that day, so it wasn’t too hot and was instead quite cool. Otherwise, with so many people crammed into such a large classroom, they might have felt suffocated due to the heat before they’d even written a few words.

The subjects tested in the afternoon weren’t too difficult, perhaps because Tang Yuxin had predicted most of the questions accurately, with an accuracy rate of roughly 60%. Along with a comprehensive review, they finished the afternoon exam without any problems.

When they returned home, Xu Miaomiao’s father had borrowed a car from his office. He had recently been promoted, and it seemed that his official career was going well. When they first met, he was just a small leader in a factory, but now he was a prominent leader.

However, Miaomiao’s father was just as kind as before, and his status hadn’t changed the way he treated others.

Frankly, if we were to talk about changes, he knew very well that the biggest changes had taken place in Chen Lidong and Tang Zhinian’s households.

These people ran their businesses so well that they each had hundreds of thousands of yuan on hand. Being a salaried worker, he was far from being on par.

Chen Lidong and Xu Miaomiao insisted on studying at Tang Yuxin’s house, claiming that the environment was conducive to studying. But what kind of “studying atmosphere” were these kids seeking? Nevertheless, he had to admit that Tang Yuxin, the little teacher, was very good at teaching. Putting the three children together in the future, they would study together and supervise each other, guaranteeing their admission to universities.

Since both families had become frequent visitors, they started coming over together unabashedly.

Little Sisi was quietly doing her homework on the side. Her exams were later, but influenced by her older siblings, she was already a top student.

The child looked genuinely beautiful, just like her older sister. As Chen Lidong touched Sisi’s hair, he remembered seeing Tang Yuxin grow up. Tang Yuxin was once a thin and dark young girl, but now, she was exceptionally beautiful, proof of the saying “maiden changes when she turns eighteen.”

Little Sisi must be the same.

Little Sisi raised her small face, knowing that her uncle was praising her; she smiled, looking delighted.

Now that their family had money, Tang Zhijun bought good clothes for his daughter and nutritious milk for her to drink. She looked fair, clean, and pretty, making her absolutely lovable.

Tang Yuxin also put down her pen, staring at Sisi’s small face. It appeared that they did look quite similar. Could it be because they spent so much time together that they started looking alike?

Even an outsider felt they looked similar; they must look even more alike in reality.

However, Chen Lidong seemed to be very fond of Sisi. If Tang Zhijun hadn’t loved his daughter so dearly, Chen Lidong would have carried Sisi away a few times already, complaining about how they only had a boy and not a girl. Chen Lidong looked quite pitiful when he was so disregarded by his own parents, and Tang Yuxin could hardly bear to watch.

He was quite pitiable.

When Tang Yuxin woke up the next day, Chen Lidong was already awake and studying in the yard. He was making full use of his time, fervently preparing for the exam.

After two days of exams, Tang Yuxin felt somewhat drained.

She tossed her books aside, took a few days of rest at home, and then Xu Miaomiao came over. She said that they were going on a vacation to Water City. They had also finished their exams and wanted to unwind a bit.

Tang Yuxin thought about it and agreed; she should go out too, as there was nothing to do at home, anyway. And once their admission letters arrived, they would have to start preparing for high school. High school was quite different from junior school; it was a critical point in defining their future. All of them, including Tang Yuxin, had their respective shortcomings.

Although Tang Yuxin had lived an extra life, she hadn’t continue her studies all along. Time had blurred her memory and years had worn away her past. She didn’t remember much, and there was still a lot she had to learn.

Thus, the high school curriculum was, for her, a challenge just like any other student. She didn’t have any advantages; she needed to start from scratch, go through sophomore year, survive junior year, before finally entering college. Yes, the place where her dream started.

Now, while the score report was yet to be announced, it was good to go and have some fun, relax a bit, then tighten up and prepare for future studies.

The three of them planned their travel route. Over the next few days, they huddled together, with a clueless Sisi. When they nodded, Sisi also nodded.

Until the day they were about to leave, Sisi still had tear-soaked eyes, feeling wronged. She felt as if she was being abandoned by the group. Yes, abandoned. They were supposed to be together, so why was she being left out? She didn’t want to be abandoned, she just wasn’t okay with it.
