Senior Ye looks like a refined, beautiful, and radiant beauty, so why is her personality like this?

That's so domineering!

Chi Chan was completely unaware of what was happening backstage, and even if she did know, she would only sigh:

Being good-looking is an asset!

She, however, did not need the capital of being good-looking; she was racing down the road to becoming a capitalist.

"Jiajia—what are your plans for the New Year's Day holiday?"

Chi Chan suddenly asked.

Shu Jia: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay home and finish reading all the novels I've saved up to read during this time!"

Shu Jia's eyes lit up when her beloved novel was mentioned.

Chi Chan asked in surprise, "I remember Linda arranged a chemistry study plan for you during the New Year's Day holiday, right?"

Shu Jia's initially cheerful face instantly turned ashen.

"Don't even mention it! I seriously suspect that Linda has been influenced by Ji Siyuan. She gives me an unusually large number of homework assignments every day. Now, when I go to sleep, I dream about hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron—"

Chi Chan: "...These academic geniuses are all too obsessed. They're clearly smarter than us, and they work harder than us. How am I, a mere ordinary person, supposed to survive?"

Shu Jia agreed, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "Exactly! Lin Da trains me like a donkey every day so I won't have to clean the toilets!"

After sighing, Shu Jia suddenly asked Chi Chan, "Sister Chan, are you confident? I see you're working so hard every day, doing all the problems your crush gives you like crazy!"

"Hey—I'm a good student!"

Shu Jia didn't believe a single word Chi Chan said.

"You clearly don't want to clean the toilets, but you're pretending to me!"

Chi Chan felt guilty: "Well, not wanting to clean the toilets was just a side effect; my main goal was to improve my grades!"

Shu Jia: "I don't want to listen! You guys can keep competing, I'm going to have a blast on New Year's Day by myself!"

"It's so boring being alone. We're recording a lesson on New Year's Day. Do you want to come watch Zhuo Zhiyuan record a lesson?"

Chi Chan patiently and skillfully guided him.

Shu Jia immediately understood what Chi Chan meant when she heard him say that.

"So that's why you suddenly asked me about my New Year's Day plans. Turns out you were waiting for me here. I'm not going, and I have no interest in recording lessons! Don't call me for anything related to recording lessons!"

Chi Chan chuckled awkwardly: "Really, aren't you going to consider it?"

Shu Jia shook her head: "I'm not considering it. Your video account is popular, but it's also really hard work. Every time I see the thick stack of lecture notes on Lin Da's desk, I feel intimidated!"

Chi Chan said regretfully, "Well! It seems that 'Learning Makes Me Happy' won't be able to offer English courses!"

Shu Jia thought Chi Chan was sometimes quite silly: "Honestly, why didn't you hire someone ready-made? Why did you hire someone like me, a half-baked expert? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of your video account?"

Chi Chan asked in confusion, "Who? You don't mean Ji Siyuan, do you?"

Shu Jia nodded: "That's right, don't you guys dislike each other? Pull him into your group and train him hard, then you won't have the energy to torture you like this!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Chan's eyes lit up, but then dimmed.

"Our little temple can't contain such a great Buddha as Ji Siyuan!"

Shu Jia shrugged: "Then I have nothing to say. Good luck, girl!"

Chi Chan: "...Can't you be a decent human being?"

Shu Jia: "No, I'm a fairy!"

The fairy Shu Jia abandoned Chi Chan and went home with her beloved stack of novels.

Only Chi Chan was left behind, miserable and still had to work overtime to complete the homework assigned by Ji Siyuan.

On the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, poor Chi Chan had to get up early to catch the bus back to his hometown.

She woke up early in the morning feeling groggy, and kept her eyes closed as Zhang Qiaoyue led her all the way home, sleeping soundly.

Zhang Qiaoyue scoffed at Chi Chan: "If someone kidnapped you and sold you, you wouldn't even know! Even a pig can't sleep as well as you!"

When Grandma Chi saw her beloved granddaughter, she looked her up and down and exclaimed that Xiao Chan must be working hard at school and had lost weight!

Grandpa Chi felt that Chi Chan had grown quite a bit taller recently.

Upon hearing this, Chi Chan quickly gestured to show her height; her trouser legs were a bit short, indicating that she had indeed grown taller.

I measured my height with a ruler: 165 cm!

Without realizing it, I'm a few centimeters taller than in my previous life?

Chi Chan was surprised and read out the numbers on the ruler to everyone. She immediately praised Qiaoyue, saying, "It's all thanks to my mom's careful care. Look, she's grown several centimeters taller than she did in junior high!"

Grandma Chi looked at the family and said with a smile, "It's so good to be together as a family. Look, Minghe has gained a lot of weight since he came home. It's clear he's living a comfortable life!"

Chi Chan glanced at Chi Minghe's protruding belly and said with obvious disgust, "Dad, have you been sneaking food at the store a lot lately? Look at your belly, it's sticking out!"

Zhang Qiaoyue also complained: "Every day when you come home you complain about being tired. Look at your parents at home, they still have to work in the fields every day. Have they ever complained about being tired?"

Chi Minghe was disliked by his daughter and daughter-in-law, but he didn't care. He patted his little belly and leisurely lay back on the recliner, swaying back and forth, very comfortable: "I call it being able to eat a blessing!"

Zhang Qiaoyue: "...Why have you gotten so shameless lately? Get up and go help in the kitchen. Do you think you're still a guest?"

Chi Minghe had been lying on the recliner for less than a minute when Zhang Qiaoyue pulled him into the kitchen.

Liu Chichan chatted with Grandpa and Grandma Chi in the living room about her recent life at school and some interesting things that happened in business.

The three-day New Year's Day holiday passed quickly.

If it weren't for the self-discipline that comes from living a lifetime longer than most people, Chi Chan felt she really wouldn't have been able to finish her homework.

Just like now, before class, Shu Jia was buried in a sea of ​​homework.

Before Lao Qiu arrives, I'll seize every moment to copy his homework.

Besides copying it herself, she also wanted Chi Chan to copy it for her.

Chi Chan: "You're really something! Go over there and copy it yourself!"

Shu Jia's handwriting on the test paper was so illegible that it was impossible to decipher what she was writing.

The principle I followed was to fill in any blank spaces as they were available, and to fill them in first and then figure out what to do next.

As for whether it's right or wrong, she guessed that Lao Qiu wouldn't be so twisted as to check the answers one by one.

Shu Jia focused intently on her work, answering Chi Chan without even looking up: "Not only will you not help, but you also make sarcastic remarks!"

Chi Chan: "It's my fault. Shall I go find Lao Qiu now?"

Shu Jia threw down her pen and grabbed Chi Chan's arm: "Chi Chan—Sister Chan, please have mercy, I'm not the only one, everyone's copying!"

Chi Chan glanced around and realized, "Got it!"

That's absolutely right!

The three of them—Linda, Ji Siyuan, and her—who were reading books, seemed out of place in the class.

Feeling bored, Chi Chan put away her books and took out the test paper that Ji Siyuan had given her before New Year's Day.

"Look—it's finished!"

Ji Siyuan looked up from his book and took the test paper from Chi Chan.

Chi Chan glanced at the book list, which was filled with dense, pure English text; just one look was enough to make her scalp tingle.

She doesn't understand the world of academic geniuses, so she has to use a purely English book to show off?

So next time, will she buy a book written entirely in English to pretend to be a genius?
