After all, it's understandable that someone from a remote mountain village might act like a good-for-nothing. As long as they're not a bad person, what does it matter?

Inside the house, Aunt Qian was also listening intently to the sounds outside.

Although Xie Li's voice wasn't loud, she heard it clearly.

He turned back to Jiang Baili from the doorway and said, "Miss, look, he's quite self-aware."

His tone was laced with sarcasm.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door, and the maid came in carrying bird's nest soup.

"Sister Qian!" Jiang Baili glanced at Sister Qian disapprovingly, shook her head, and said nothing more.

Just then, another exclamation came from outside, "Oh dear, Miss Xie Li, so many documents, please don't... We'll help you move them!"

Immediately following was a flurry of hurried and noisy footsteps.

Jiang Baili's hand holding the spoon stiffened slightly.

Aunt Qian went out to take a look with a sullen face, and then came back with a sullen face.

She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know how that person managed to win over the esteemed neighbor next door. Look, they even sent over two boxes of review materials..."

Jiang Baili suddenly said, "Sister Qian, I have a few more test papers here. Could you please take them to Xie Li for me?"

Aunt Qian: "Oh my, Miss, you're too kind!"

Jiang Baili smiled and gracefully put down the bird's nest cup. "Since Xie Li is so eager to learn, I should lend her a hand."

After Aunt Qian and the maid had left, Jiang Baili studied at her desk for a while, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Aunt Qian was right in everything she said, especially one thing: Xie Li was so arrogant and ignorant; if she wasn't taught a lesson, she probably wouldn't learn her lesson.

How dare a tiny grain of rice dream of competing with the sun and moon?

Thinking about the difficulty of the five test papers she had just given Zhang Wu, Jiang Baili felt even happier. Needless to say, Xie Li must be crying from the difficulty right now.

Country folk should be trampled under her feet and groveled before her.

This is just the beginning. The real highlight will be the entrance exam for No. 1 High School a week from now.

——

Xie Li was quite happy.

The review materials sent by Luo Zhihan were very comprehensive, containing not only all the knowledge from junior high school, but also from senior high school.

Just as the inspection was finished, Jiang Baili sent someone to deliver five more test papers.

Xie Li looked at the information in front of him and was very satisfied.

These are the mountains she is about to conquer; she needs to get all this information before the exam!

When Ding Huizhu got home, it was already past 11 p.m.

Lights were on in Jiang Baili's and Xie Li's rooms upstairs.

It's true that Jiang Baili is studying, but Xie Li? Could he still be secretly playing games so late?

She thought for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then went to Xie Li's room.

Just as she was about to knock, the door opened, and the maid, seeing Ding Huizhu, looked somewhat embarrassed: "Madam, I'm here to deliver bird's nest to Miss Xie Li."

"Miss Xie Li is reviewing her studies; she's already finished several books," the maid said with a touch of admiration as she noticed Xie Li looking into the room.

She was just thinking that since she had prepared bird's nest for Jiang Baili and Xie Li had run into her, it wouldn't be right not to send Xie Li a bowl as well.

Who knew that once they entered the room, they wouldn't be able to get out, and all they could do was watch Xie Li demonstrate her amazing speed reading ability.

Ding Huizhu remained noncommittal, peeked into the room, and immediately frowned.

Xie Li was indeed sitting at his desk, but was that what studying meant? Could he pretend to be studying just by casually flipping through a book?

Not long ago, some training courses did indeed claim to offer quantum speed reading, saying that one could quickly master the contents of a book simply by relying on perception, which led many parents to spend a lot of money to send their children there.
