Mu Nanfang wanted to discuss something with Liu Jiu, but she was still at school and hadn't returned yet. The matter was rather complicated, so he decided to prepare the necessary documents first and discuss it with Liu Jiu when she returned.
Mu Nanfang, who hadn't yet had a chance to show up at the Gu family home, had no idea that his sister, Mu Jiaojiao, had already been there for half a day.
“Brother Sanqi, I’ve come to ask for your help and to learn from your experience.”
Ever since Mu Jiaojiao visited last time, she's been coming to the Gu family's house very frequently, coming over whenever she has a holiday, acting as if she's no outsider at all.
"Going on a pilgrimage? What pilgrimage are you going to seek?"
Sanqi looked up at the uninvited young lady. Every time he called her "Sanqi, little brother," his sister never called him this affectionately!
"My dad told me to come here to learn from you and ask if there are any secrets that can help me get into high school. He said it's my last hope, otherwise I'm doomed."
Mu Jiaojiao summarized her father's words and realized that she didn't know what was going on or why she couldn't figure it out.
"Study? Commander Mu really thinks highly of me. This is much harder than Tang Sanzang's journey to the West. At least Tang Sanzang had several disciples with unique skills. What do I have?"
Sanqi also knew some of Mu Jiaojiao's study situation. This older sister didn't need to be asked; she just talked freely and without reservation, and she wasn't sad at all.
His mother said that Mu Jiaojiao is a person with a strong sense of insensitivity and lives a happy life.
If you ask him to talk about being insensitive, it's just that he's easygoing, doesn't take anything to heart, and is used to having his family back him up in everything, so what's there to be anxious about or worried about?
"Hehe... Brother Sanqi, you also feel there's no hope, right? My dad is just unwilling to accept it, afraid that I won't have a skill to support myself in the future."
Mu Jiaojiao had never lacked anything growing up, nor had she ever needed money. She truly didn't understand what her father meant by "the future"—how long into the future was that?
"That's not true. The subjects you need to memorize are quite good, aren't they? In science subjects, you can only memorize formulas. That way, you'll get the basic points, and the rest depends on luck."
"For humanities subjects, try not to lose any points. If you balance that out, you still have a chance to get into high school. Once you're in high school, when they separate students into science and humanities tracks, if you choose humanities, your advantages will be obvious."
After listening to Sanqi's analysis, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly felt very capable.
"Brother Sanqi, you're amazing! You analyzed the situation so clearly in just a few words."
Mu Jiaojiao's praise was genuine; she admired those who excelled in their studies. Although her older brother was always stern with her and impatient with explaining problems to her, he was truly intelligent.
"Alright, come with me to the study. I'll organize the science formulas for you and mark which formula to use in which situation. Memorize them like you're memorizing a text. How many you can get right depends on your effort and luck."
Sanqi sat at his desk, picked up his pen, and began to summarize the formulas for each subject, along with the applicable scope of each formula.
"Little brother Sanqi, don't you need to study?"
Mu Jiaojiao stared wide-eyed at Sanqi's diligent writing, not even needing to look at the textbook.
"It's all in my head!"
Sanqi didn't want to talk anymore. The two of them were completely out of sync, and talking to each other was exhausting.
Watching her younger brother Sanqi writing furiously, Mu Jiaojiao also found a book and sat down quietly to read it.
"Alright, it's all written down. Go back and read it carefully, and don't lose it. I won't write a second copy for you."
Sanqi handed the completed document to Mu Jiaojiao; he had done his best.
"Thank you, Brother Sanqi. I will definitely protect it well. I won't lose it, and I won't let anyone see it. It's my secret weapon."
Mu Jiaojiao raised her hand and swore that she would keep her mouth shut and not tell anyone.
"Alright, it's getting dark. You should hurry home and study. You don't have much time left."
A person with a headache caused by 37% of their body weight always seems to miss the point.
The two went downstairs together, where Bao Ni and Gu Ye were talking to Mu Nanfang.
When Mu Nanfang learned that his sister had come to the Gu family, he quickly followed her over and took the opportunity to tell Uncle Gu about his plans.
Are you confident about going abroad for exchange studies?
Gu Ye didn't expect Mu Nanfang to have such thoughts. Although he didn't understand computers, he knew that the technology in China was far behind that of foreign countries.
"I've discussed it with my professor, and the chances of success are quite high. The next round of applications hasn't started yet, so I have plenty of time. Thanks to my English proficiency, which is also a plus, my grades are excellent."
I want to do everything we need to do while we're still young, so that later I can spend more time with our own little family.
Mu Nanfang told the truth that this was exactly his plan.
"It's great. After two years of studying abroad, I've come back with a significant improvement in my skills, education, and experience. I'll have a wider range of job options and be able to realize my own value."
Even if you marry Liu Jiu later, it doesn't mean you have to completely give up your career and devote yourself entirely to Liu Jiu's sake. Living together as a couple means supporting and caring for each other.
Although Liu Jiu is quite busy with work, she is not always busy. She also needs to take care of her own family and her own life.
Look at your Uncle Gu and me. Although it seems like I've put in more effort, your Uncle Gu has done a lot too. I also have my own job and things I want to do, and I haven't neglected any of them.
Bonnie believes that married life cannot be a one-sided effort and sacrifice, as that is not a long-term solution.
“Aunt Gu, I understand now. I was wrong. A couple needs to live together, there needs to be a sense of connection and shared experiences. When Liu Jiu comes back, I still need to discuss with her my desire to go abroad.”
