The copied books had passed through several hands, so it was inevitable that there would be some errors and omissions. Qin Zhao's previous job was to revise the books, correct the errors and omissions, and then copy them down.

But this is the first time I’ve annotated a book.

He first read through the first few pages, noting down the meanings of words and sentences that he felt needed explanation. He then wrote his own interpretations and other annotations on another piece of rough paper, which he then inserted into the current page.

For reference only.

This method can keep the book neat and clear, without affecting Chen Yanan's note-taking during lectures. Secondly, it can be taken out at any time to prevent it from affecting Chen Yanan's own thinking.

Jing Li watched from beginning to end, and was amazed, stunned, and finally dumbfounded.

This person's learning method... is too advanced.

It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become a teacher and take the imperial examination.

Qin Zhao must have a thorough understanding of the book. He hardly needed to think when he picked up the pen to write. In less than an hour and a half, he had marked out half of the book.

He put down his pen and stretched.

Qin Zhao had no intention of annotating the entire book. This was simply a way to curry favor, helping Chen Yan'an temporarily deal with his teacher. But the guy still had a lot of books to read in the future, and he couldn't expect Qin Zhao to help him every time.

He needs to learn by himself and apply what he has learned to other situations.

Jing Li didn't think about all this at all. He just thought that Qin Zhao was tired and could finally rest.

After reading for so many days, Jing Li could recognize a few simple characters. However, the book was difficult to understand and the characters used were complex. He read for a long time without recognizing a single character and dozed off in the tub out of boredom.

Moreover, although he knew that Qin Zhao was nice to Chen Yanan because he saved his life, he still didn't like that guy.

He could never forget the boy's rude words.

Jing Li yawned heavily in the water, spitting out a string of bubbles.

"I told you that you don't have to accompany me." Qin Zhao naturally saw that he was dozing off and whispered.

But it's boring to be alone.

Jingli wagged his tail.

He was like a fish, unable to leave the water and unable to do anything else. During the day, he could still run around with Qin Zhao, but during the long night, there was nothing interesting to do except watching him write.

Qin Zhao understood what he meant and said slowly, "If you could become a human, you could do something else to pass the time."

“!!!”

Jing Li was so scared that his whole body trembled, and water splashed onto the table.

Qin Zhao was prepared and took the book away before the water splashed out.

This little monster is not steady at all. Has he really practiced for many years?

The little koi fish that was said to be unstable was now huddled in the corner, its tail swaying uncomfortably from side to side.

Why did Qin Zhao say that?

Was it a test? Did he discover something?

Where did he reveal his flaw?

——He had no idea that his guilty look was full of flaws.

Qin Zhao suppressed his laughter and stretched out his hand to him.

Jing Li subconsciously wanted to hide, but was afraid that his behavior would be too abnormal and arouse suspicion, so he forced himself to stay still.

Qin Zhao slowly stroked the little koi's head, ran his fingers across its cool and smooth back, and then fiddled with its soft fins. Every time he touched it, the little guy in the water trembled slightly.
