She leaned closer to him and pointed at the faint blue shadow under her eyelids, "Look."
An Zhenxiong tapped her forehead with his finger and said calmly, "Just be content. My schedule as a kid was even busier than yours."
"How can they be the same? You are so tall and I am so short. Lack of sleep will affect my growth." An Ci tried his best to reduce the number of courses and tried to use his eloquence to make An Zhenxiong change his mind.
"This will affect my handsomeness and my chances of finding a wife."
An Zhenxiong, "..."
How old is she, and she is already thinking about such a long-term thing as finding a wife?
"This is the result of a joint discussion between me and the elders. There is no room for negotiation. Go back and do your homework." He patted her head.
Seeing that An Zhenxiong was determined this time, An Ci didn't waste any time. He got down from the table and grabbed the schedule. "Then I'll go talk to the elders."
She turned and left, and when An Zhenxiong reacted, she had already walked out of the study.
However, as if they had agreed beforehand, the seven elders took turns giving her long lectures, like chanting a spell to tighten the headband.
An Ci couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran away without saying anything.
Therefore, the class schedule could not be changed, and An Ci was forced to start her study journey of getting up early and going to bed late. She was scolded for not finishing her homework, being late for class, and falling asleep in class.
Anyway, he would recite a few words every day and complain every three days. After a long time, An Ci got used to it. His grades were always below the passing line, which often made An Zhenxiong and the elders very angry.
Spring went and autumn came, and five years passed in a blink of an eye. The vegetable garden was also renovated.
However, An Ci still hadn't gotten rid of his bad habit of staying in bed.
In the end, Aunt Hong took on everything and came to the room to wake her up.
"Xiao Ci, wake up, wake up quickly." Aunt Hong stood by the bed and gently pulled the quilt.
"What are you doing, Aunt Hong? You don't have to go to class today." The person hiding in the quilt was still not awake, and his soft tone was a little lazy.
Aunt Hong said, "The master of the family wants to see you and asks you to go to his study."
After hearing this, An Ci suddenly became a little more sober. She turned over and scratched her head.
What did grandpa want to talk to her about so early in the morning?
Her classes finally ended yesterday. Could it be that she will be assigned new classes?
Is it too late for her to escape now?
Seeing that the person under the quilt didn't move, Aunt Hong thought she had fallen asleep again, so she reached out and pushed her, "Xiao Ci?"
An Ci hummed, pulled back the quilt and sat up. His messy hair was big enough to make a nest for chicks.
"Did Grandpa tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?" She yawned, looking like she hadn't gotten enough sleep.
