Throughout the morning, except for the break between classes, Lu Ziyin rested for a while. As soon as class started, he began working on the test papers, and soon he finished all the test papers that Ding Kemeng had given him.
For four periods, every teacher was puzzled because Lu Ziyin hadn't slept during class today! He was writing with his head down the whole time. They peeked at him a couple of times and it seemed like he was working on a test paper. The teachers were all shocked!
So, after class, they went back to their office and discussed the matter, chatting happily about it.
“Your foundation is a bit weak, but it’s not hopeless. You can still do simple questions, but it seems like you can’t do them if the questions are changed even slightly.” Ding Kemeng finished reading the entire test paper, marked some similar questions with red stars on some of them with only the data and conditions changed, and then pointed them out to Lu Ziyin.
"Look, this one is actually quite similar to the fill-in-the-blank question you just answered correctly, except that it has a few more conditions added. But you got the fill-in-the-blank question above right. It's the same question in a different guise, and it's just as simple, yet you got it wrong."
Lu Ziyin looked at the topic that Ding Kemeng had pointed out to him, and it was indeed somewhat similar.
Ding Kemeng looked at the afternoon schedule and finally chose the last self-study period in the afternoon to explain the questions to Lu Ziyin. Then she asked Lu Ziyin to find the questions on the test paper that she felt were somewhat similar to the ones she had made. She would check them during the afternoon self-study period.
Lu Ziyin dared not be careless. After receiving the test paper, she began to carefully review the questions she had answered incorrectly.
In the afternoon, class monitor Huang Jiji was planning to ask Ding Kemeng some questions during self-study, but unexpectedly, Ding Kemeng was explaining a problem to Lu Ziyin.
Many people saw that the top student in their class was explaining a problem to Lu, and Lu was not dozing off at all; he was listening very attentively.
The students who were struggling academically were immediately struck by this. Even the student who was last in their class had started studying. What right did they have not to work hard?
So Zhao Qian quietly walked to the back door of the classroom, intending to peek, but was shocked by the bizarre learning atmosphere in their class!
Why are these kids in his class suddenly so studious?
This week went by so fast, and before I knew it, it was Friday.
Meanwhile, the results of the school's blackboard newspaper competition were also announced. As expected, Lu Ziyin and Ding Kemeng's blackboard newspaper won first place. To commend them, the school specially issued individual certificates to the two of them as encouragement.
When Zhao Qian brought the certificate to the class, the whole class of Class 10 was very excited. Lu Ziyin didn't show any expression on the surface, but she was also happy for once.
After school, Lu Ziyin carefully rolled up the certificate, put it in her schoolbag, and went home.
As soon as she entered the house, she noticed that someone had let Ruan Ruan out, and the little fat dog was pooping and peeing all over the living room. Lu Ziyin glanced at the fat dog with its head drooping to the side with disgust, sighed, threw her schoolbag on the sofa, and resignedly went to get tissues and a mop to clean up.
He was halfway through cleaning when the housekeeper returned from grocery shopping. Seeing Lu Ziyin cleaning the floor by himself, she immediately exclaimed, "Oh dear, young master, why are you cleaning by yourself? Put it down, let me do it!" Lu Ziyin cleaned up the mess and was about to mop the floor when he saw the housekeeper return. He casually said, "No need, Auntie, you go ahead and cook. I'll just mop the floor and it'll be clean."
"How can we do this..." The aunt was a little embarrassed. The Lu family hired her at a high salary, not so that she could slack off.
"It's alright, Auntie, you don't need to worry about it." Lu Ziyin's attitude of refusal was very firm, so the aunt had no choice but to nod and take a basket of vegetables to the kitchen.
"Young master, what would you like to eat? Auntie will make more of your favorite dishes tonight." High school boys need to eat well to grow.
"Then make another serving of crab roe tofu, but without the scallions." Lu Ziyin finished tidying the floor, straightened up, and said in a deep voice.
The aunt was a little stunned. Wasn't crab roe tofu the young master's favorite dish? And she remembered that the eldest young master could eat scallions. In this family, weren't the young master and—and the madam—the ones who didn't like scallions?
The aunt wanted to ask something, but seeing that Lu Ziyin clearly didn't want to say more, she didn't. It was best for servants like them to refrain from interfering in their master's affairs.
In the evening, Wen Lan returned home after accompanying Lu Zichen to his art class and was pleased to see the table full of dishes.
As soon as Lu Zichen got home, he excitedly went upstairs and hurriedly ran to Lu Ziyin's bedroom door. Lu Zichen stopped and took a moment to calm his breathing before carefully knocking on the bedroom door.
"Come in," Lu Ziyin's voice rang out.
Lu Zichen's face immediately lit up with joy. He pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom. He wasn't surprised to see Lu Ziyin sitting at her desk writing an exam paper. After fidgeting for a while, Lu Zichen took out a form from behind his back, which was already covered with little red flowers.
"Brother, look, this is the little red flower the teacher gave me. I already know several songs. Today, during the test, I played better than all the other children. I was the best, and the teacher gave me the last little red flower!" Lu Zichen's eyes were full of joy. He waved his little hand and looked at Lu Ziyin with a particularly eager gaze, just wanting to hear him praise him.
Looking at the form covered with little red flowers, Lu Ziyin couldn't help but squeeze the certificate she had hidden under her test paper. After a long while, she chuckled softly, "Hmm, great."
After waiting for a long time, Lu Ziyin finally said "Great job!" Although it was just a very simple compliment, Lu Zichen was so happy that he almost shouted out loud.
"Thank you, brother. I will continue to work hard in the future. When I become better, I will definitely play a piece I composed myself for you!" Lu Zichen worked hard to learn the piano not only because he really liked the piano, but also because he wanted to compose his own music and play it for Lu Ziyin.
Okay, keep it up.
"Um!"
While the two brothers were talking upstairs, the restaurant downstairs had already prepared everything. Wen Lan called out to them twice, and the two of them didn't linger and went downstairs to eat together.
Mr. Lu hasn't been as busy these past few days, so he's been coming home for dinner.
When Lu Zichen saw his father, he happily called out "Dad!" and then obediently sat down to eat his dinner. Lu Ziyin, on the other hand, didn't even glance at his father before sitting down and starting to eat.
On the table was a dish of crab roe tofu, which was Lu Zichen's favorite. When he saw the dish, he happily thanked the cook. The cook opened her mouth as if to say that she hadn't ordered the dish, but after looking at Lu Ziyin's expression, she smiled and said nothing.
While eating, Mr. Lu learned about his younger son's red flower chart and happily praised him. Then, he suddenly remembered his older son's situation.
