Chapter 139 Extra 12.8

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi Nian grew from a carefree child into a troubled teenager.

Thirteen-year-old Qi Nian had just entered junior high school. At this moment, he held his chin with his hands, and his delicate little face was almost enlarged in proportion to when he was three years old. He was even more handsome than a carefully painted scroll, and he had a lively demeanor that the person in the scroll did not have.

"Oh, this is so difficult..." Qi Nian frowned, his brows knitted together, and he looked at the exercise book in front of him worriedly.

When he was in primary school, Qi Nian relied on his cleverness to stay among the top three in his grade even if he didn't study much. But not long after he entered junior high school, he found that everything had changed.

Unconsciously, the test questions in front of him had become unfamiliar to him.

After realizing this, Qi Nian no longer dared to half-play and half-study, otherwise he might lose his top three position!

Qi Nian's obsession with being in the top three stems from two reasons. First, he had already agreed with his parents on the reward for being in the top three in the exam, and he really wanted that reward.

The second point..., Qi Nian thought with a frown, it's because my brothers and sisters are so outstanding.

Needless to say, Chu Rongshi has never ranked other than first in the exams. He is simply a pervert.

The same is true for Chu Tianyan, who has won numerous awards, and Yan Yuchuan is also a very good student.

The only one who seems to be a poor student is probably Chu Tianheng. However, he doesn't study much at all. But even so, Chu Tianheng can still maintain a middle level in the key class.

In Ning Min's words, "Tianheng is a very smart kid, but unfortunately he is not very willing to learn. Beating him is useless. He has been beaten a lot since he was a child, and his skin is all bruised."

In short, it’s not that the pressure is great to be with a few people like this every day, but it will have some impact.

Moreover, besides them..., Qi Nian poked his cheek with the tip of the pen, turned his head and looked dimly at Jiang Zhi standing beside him.

Jiang Zhi is the same, he can basically learn anything once he starts, and he works very hard.

Since they met ten years ago, not long after, the Jiang family moved nearby. Because they were close, they played together and later went to the same school. Coincidentally, they were still in the same class.

Because of this, Qi Nian has a more intuitive feeling of Jiang Zhi's intelligence and hard work.

"Qi Nian, why are you looking at me?" Being stared at by Qi Nian, even though Jiang Zhi's reaction was slow, he finally noticed it.

"This question is so difficult." Qi Nian sighed.

Jiang Zhi put down the half-finished question in his hand and took Qi Nian's exercise booklet. "Let me see. Oh, haven't you done the same type of question before? Let me find it for you."

As he spoke, he began to flip through the papers, and soon found a question and pointed it out to Qi Nian: "Look, you got this question right before, how could you fail this one?"

"Is this true? Let me see." Qi Nian didn't think the two questions were similar at all, but Jiang Zhi wouldn't lie, so he had to look at them with a frown.

As he read on, he actually figured out some clues. Qi Nian held the pen and tried to write down the steps to solve the problem. He was not worried about making mistakes, since it was not a test after all.

After a moment, he exhaled, and a smile appeared on his delicate face: "Jiang Zhi, take a look, is this true?"

Jiang Zhihearing this, he glanced at it and also smiled: "Qi Nian, you are really smart. You thought of it so quickly."

Qi Nian proudly puffed out his chest when he heard that, but waved one hand pretentiously: "Oh, it's okay."

"Really? Someone asked me this question before. I talked to him for a long time before he understood. It was so tiring. I'd better teach you. It's easy." Jiang Zhi has mastered encouragement-based education at a young age.

Qi Nian was delighted when he heard that, and even a big smile appeared on his face as he held the pen and did the questions.

After finishing his homework, Qi Nian packed up his things. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he sighed, "Oh, I don't know when my brother will be back."

"Isn't your brother at home?" Jiang Zhi said subconsciously without raising his head.

"It's not this brother, it's Chu Rongshi." Qi Nian said.

When he was little, he loved calling him "Brother Rong Shi" all the time. But as he grew older, he probably felt that it was a bit corny, so he seldom called him that.

"Oh... Didn't he go to the competition? Would the earliest he could come back be tomorrow?" Jiang Zhi knew the time when Chu Rongshi would return quite clearly. It was not that he specifically asked about it, but since Chu Rongshi went to the competition, Qi Nian had mentioned it several times every day.

Qi Nian nodded somewhat sadly: "Yes, why does the competition take so long?"

"This is a national competition, it will definitely last a long time. If your brother wins a prize, he will definitely be admitted." Jiang Zhi said with a longing look on his face.

Qi Nian glanced at Jiang Zhi, then suddenly stood on the stool without saying a word, with his hands on his hips, looking down at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi didn't understand what was wrong with him all of a sudden: "What are you doing?"

Qi Nian snorted: "What do you mean by possible? My brother is so amazing, he will definitely win the prize. I'm already thinking about which school my brother will be admitted to!"

Jiang Zhi's mouth twitched. Well, Chu Rongshi was indeed very powerful, but: "You don't need to think about which school he will be recommended to, right?"

"Why not?" Qi Nian was afraid that his parents would suddenly come in and see him standing on the stool, so he quickly jumped down and hummed with a smug look on his face: "My brother loves to listen to my opinions. He likes to ask me about everything he does."

Jiang Zhi: “…Okay.”

Qi Nian got down from the stool very quickly. Just as he sat down, there was a knock on the door. Qi Luling came in from outside: "Niannian, look who's back?"

Qi Nian seemed to sense something, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran out of the room, leaning on the railing on the second floor to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Chu Rongshi standing downstairs talking to his father.

The moment he looked over, Chu Rongshi seemed to have noticed something as well. He suddenly raised his head and looked over. Qi Nian smiled widely and quickly ran downstairs.

Chu Rongshi couldn't help but remind him: "Run slower."

Yan Jiru looked at his son's excitement and couldn't help but say sourly, "He has always been very close to you."

However, Chu Rongshi, who had always been very alert, seemed not to understand the meaning of his words. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

Yan Jiru: “…” You actually said “hmm”!

While the two were talking, Qi Nian had already run down. He did not stop when he was almost in front of Chu Rongshi. He rolled his eyes and threw himself onto Chu Rongshi's back like a koala.

Chu Rongshi also subconsciously reached out and grabbed him.

"Brother, why did you come back to remind me?" Qi Nian shook his head excitedly: "I was just talking to Jiang Zhi about you, I missed you so much!"

The 18-year-old Chu Rongshi is now over 1.8 meters tall. Although his face still has some of the immaturity of a teenager, it is also more mature. The good genes of the Chu family are fully displayed in him. He has a handsome face like a model, and his long and beautiful almond eyes have softened, giving people the illusion of deep affection.

Compared to Qi Nian's straightforwardness, Chu Rongshi was a little reserved. He dragged Qi Nian, who was lying on his back, and said, "I'll be back after the competition."

"Then the results haven't come out yet?" Qi Nian leaned sideways on Chu Rongshi's shoulder and muttered, "Why don't you stay one more day and come back after the results are out?"

Chu Rongshi tilted his head and glanced at Qi Nian without saying anything. What other reason could there be for him to come back early?

"Hey, Qi Xiaonian, how old are you? You still lie on my big brother. Aren't you afraid of killing him?" Chu Tianheng appeared out of nowhere, and Qi Nian's eyes widened in anger as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qi Nian was not convinced: "You are talking nonsense! I am not heavy, I am very light, and my brother would not think I am heavy, right, brother?"

Chu Rongshi said without hesitation: "Yes."

After saying that, he added: "Nian Nian is a little too light, she should eat more."

"Hehehe~" Qi Nian grinned happily, he loved to hear this kind of words.

Chu Tianheng looked at his good-for-nothing elder brother in silence. Anyway, his elder brother would lose all principles when he met Qi Nian, and he said he was used to it.

"If I had such a well-behaved younger brother who was so attached to me, I would treat him the same way as my eldest brother." Chu Tianyan said with envy.

Chu Tianheng: "...Why do I feel like you are pointing at me?"

Chu Tianyan said innocently: "No, Yuchuan, don't you think so?"

"Yes!" Yan Yuchuan supported her very much.

Chu Tianheng: “…”

——

The competition results came out very quickly, and not surprisingly, Chu Rongshi won the special prize.

Everyone including Qi Nian was very excited when they found out, but Chu Rongshi himself was the calmest.

"Brother, this is the special prize, you are awesome!" Qi Nian didn't know how many times he had circled around Chu Rongshi.

When Chu Rongshi heard this, he was much happier than when he learned that he had won the award. He leaned back in his chair, looked at Qi Nian and said, "Say it again."

Qi Nian was very happy: "Brother, you are really awesome, the best in the universe!"

Chu Rongshi couldn't hold back his laughter and said modestly, "Not bad."

"Don't be humble, I allow you to be proud." Qi Nian said mischievously.

"Stop turning around, aren't you dizzy?" Chu Rongshi stretched out his hand and held Qi Nian down.

Everyone thought in unison: “Ah!”

"You have to go to school tomorrow. Have you finished your homework?" Chu Rongshi was concerned about Qi Nian's homework.

Qi Nian immediately wailed when he heard this: "Brother, why are you talking about such a sad thing when you are so happy!"

"So it's not finished yet?" Chu Rongshi said.

Qi Nian curled his lips, stretched out two fingers, and gestured: "Only a little bit."

"Let's do it now." Chu Rongshi looked like a supervisor.

Qi Nian watched him take out his homework and snorted in dissatisfaction: "I am very self-conscious, okay? I don't need supervision at all!"

Chu Rongshi gave a perfunctory "hmm", and it was obvious that he didn't believe it.

Qi Nian glared at him secretly, and when Chu Rongshi looked over, he immediately smiled, revealing eight teeth.

Seeing Qi Nian quietly starting to do his homework, Chu Rongshi watched for a while, then got up to pack his schoolbag and put away the homework he had finished.

While pretending to be doing his homework, he suddenly felt a slightly hard paper in his schoolbag. He thought it was the test paper that Qi Nian had scribbled on. Chu Rongshi was about to take it out and sort it out for him, but he found that it was not a test paper.

In her hand was a neatly folded pink envelope with a three-dimensional butterfly stuck on it. The content of the letter was self-evident.

Chu Rongshi's brows wrinkled slightly.
