Xiao Wei dared not utter a sound.
Bai Lu has already discussed the topic with Xiao Cheng.
"I admit that your problem-solving approach is correct and clear, and it's unprecedented. But Xiaowei is only in second grade. Isn't it too outrageous for you to use a method that goes beyond the scope of elementary school? The teacher will immediately think he's a child prodigy and will give him special attention."
Bai Lu felt that the big shot was making things difficult for Xiao Wei, and even more difficult for Xiao Wei's teacher.
The suggestion was politely rejected, but Xiao Cheng did not refute it. Instead, he offered another solution.
Bai Lu said no again: "Your process is too complicated, Xiao Wei won't understand it."
Xiao Wei: "..." Just pretend I don't exist.
Xiao Cheng proposed a solution to the problem again, only to have it rejected by Bai Lu once more, time and time again.
He gave up: "Tell me how to solve it."
"I can only calculate the answers; I haven't learned how to explain it to children," Bai Lu said innocently.
In the past, when Xiao Cheng came home drunk, he would often vomit into the broken vat in the yard, which would drown the ginger and scallions that Xiao Wei had planted.
Even if the answers to the questions he prepared for the test were correct, he couldn't apply them flexibly.
One is easy to understand as soon as you hear it, and the other is easy to learn at a glance; it's simply incredible.
Xiao Wei listened with great interest, and his writing flowed effortlessly. He realized that there is a difference between partial understanding and comprehensive understanding.
Xiao Cheng glanced at Xiao Wei, who was packing up his textbooks with his head down: "We still have things to talk about."
He cleared his throat and asked casually, "What do I do when I'm drunk?"
Were they ambushed?
Xiao Cheng's brows relaxed for a second, but he frowned again upon hearing the next sentence: "What do you mean by 'the same as when I talk to you'?"
What the older brother really wants to know is what he did to his sister-in-law when he was drunk.
"Besides vomiting wine, what else?"
"I misspoke. It was my sister-in-law who spoke to me as gently as she speaks to you."
"The tone of your voice when you speak to me is just as gentle as when I speak to you, as if you are coaxing a child."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
Xiao Wei immediately changed his adjective: "He insists on washing it."
Xiao Cheng reluctantly accepted this and skipped ahead: "What was her reaction at the time?"
"I'm going back to sleep now. You guys should also go to sleep early after you finish chatting. Goodnight."
Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "That night, your sister-in-law went to the city to pick you and Haozi up. After you came back, you took Chen Chunli home. You had a back injury, but you still carried your sister-in-law back on your back."
“You take a shower but don’t bring your clothes. Every time, your sister-in-law has to bring you clothes. She says it’s not good for you to take a shower when you’re drunk and tells you to take a shower tomorrow, but you don’t listen and insist on taking a shower. So your sister-in-law has to use a thermos to pour water for you.”
Xiao Cheng reluctantly agreed, and asked calmly, "Anything else?"
Xiao Wei, who was collecting textbooks, had his candle taken away and stared blankly at the dried candlestick marks on the table.
Xiao Cheng's problem-solving approach was indeed complex, but it was very comprehensive, which enlightened Xiao Wei and made him feel that he could solve a hundred more problems.
Xiao Wei finally understood why Bai Lu had made stir-fried cabbage with vinegar and sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner tonight...
Her bright, sparkling eyes were full of innocence.
It's already nine o'clock before I knew it.
The clock on the wall struck nine.
Bai Lu remembered the incident of having her cheek pinched earlier, quickly touched Xiao Cheng's head, then touched Xiao Wei's head, feeling satisfied and hurried back to her room.
Xiao Wei was still not satisfied. He should have been a little slower, because he finished his homework in one go, and his older brother didn't say anything.
When you were explaining the problem just now, your tone was much better than before, so why are you being biased again?
Bai Lu was once again certain that the two brothers' intelligence and talent far surpassed that of their peers, placing them at the top of their class.
Or he would vomit in the yard, and Xiao Wei would always secretly hide behind the door and wait for Xiao Cheng to return to his room before coming out to clean up.
Watching the gentle figure under the moonlight return to her room until she disappeared, the joyful and relaxed atmosphere also vanished.
Stealing a glance, she saw Xiao Cheng glancing every now and then in the direction of the door where Bai Lu had disappeared, and then she suddenly realized what had happened.
Were they ambushed?
Xiao Wei answered honestly, "I vomited the wine."
Xiao Cheng also gave Bai Lu a reassuring look, seemingly indicating that he wouldn't bully her for her sake.
Did the older brother give his candle to his sister-in-law?
Xiao Wei was used to his older brother's truncated way of speaking, and he knew what he was talking about and what he wanted to know.
Unfortunately, Xiao Cheng often has no memory when he's drunk, and what he wants to know right now isn't about vomiting.
After thinking it through, I began to explain.
"Alright, it's late, go back to sleep." Bai Lu got up and stretched sleepily.
Xiao Cheng picked up a candle from Xiao Wei's desk and gave it to her: "Go back to sleep first."
He spoke seriously, "Let me think about it some more."
The consequence of being too overpowered is that you finish your homework very quickly.
Xiao Wei's statement was very straightforward and honest.
Xiao Wei recalled for a moment and replied seriously, "You used to throw up when you came home drunk, but you don't anymore."
Are they planning to talk all night?
Xiao Wei didn't quite understand what Xiao Cheng meant.
It's just a very simple question.
"When you got home, your sister-in-law found out and got very angry. She applied the medicine to you very hard."
Bai Lu was a little surprised by his serious tone, but she still had to give him the necessary advice: "Don't you dare bully Xiao Wei."
After explaining the unit assignments, Xiao Cheng also explained the question types for the next unit, which Xiao Wei understood immediately.
Xiao Wei: "..."
Xiao Wei's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, suddenly stopped. It turned out that he hadn't done anything wrong, and his older brother wasn't going to hold him accountable.
When Xiao Wei got nervous, his back straightened instinctively, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He tugged at his clothes, then put them under the table and pinched his fingers.
He replied truthfully, "I don't know if my sister-in-law was angry. I didn't hear her scold you or see her hit you. I only saw her find you some clothes."
They skipped over Bai Lu's stunned expression.
Although the number of times was small, the memories were profound, and Xiao Wei would never forget anything about his elder brother.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Bai Lu took the candle, unable to believe that the two brothers had made such rapid progress after just one problem.
Before Xiao Cheng could answer, Xiao Wei eagerly interjected, "Big brother won't bully me, sister-in-law, don't worry."
My older brother is so jealous.
Xiao Cheng's expression shifted from slight relief to slight surprise, then to a frown: "You insist on washing it no matter what?"
Xiao Cheng turned his gaze away from the direction where Bai Lu had disappeared and looked at the small, restrained figure in front of him with her head down.
Xiao Cheng couldn't resist pinching her cheek for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he casually tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her cheek in the evening breeze behind her ear.
Did the older brother take his candle?
"You said, 'Lulu, be gentle.'" At this point, Xiao Wei's voice inexplicably softened, as if he couldn't believe it, yet had to accept it: "You also said, 'Lulu is in pain...'"
Xiao Cheng couldn't believe he would say something so explicit, so...unreservedly revealing his vulnerability.
Her cool gaze fixed on Xiao Wei: "Be honest. Did you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears?"
Xiao Wei could give up anything in front of his elder brother, but he could never lose his integrity: "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
Xiao Cheng looked away, not wanting to see Xiao Wei's extremely serious little face every time he stated an undeniable fact.
How do you know so much?
