The little girl's big, watery eyes seemed to see right into Gu Zhiyun's heart. Gu Zhiyun, distracted, threw away the chalk and pecked her on the cheek.
I want to eat you!
With a flushed face, Shen Jingyan shoved the bowl of noodles into his hands: "You want to eat me? Do you even have that many teeth?"
Gu Zhiyun washed his hands, but instead of immediately picking up his bowl to eat noodles, he spread his hands out to Chen Jingyan like a serious teacher about to check a student's homework:
"Have you finished the homework I assigned yesterday?"
Shen Jingyan obediently took out a stack of manuscript paper from her pocket and unfolded it in front of Gu Zhiyun:
"I finished writing it. I finished it this morning. I even recited 'The Memorial to the Throne on the Eve of the Northern Expedition' from memory."
Gu Zhiyun took the manuscript paper and began to examine it carefully.
After checking, he smiled and kissed Shen Jingyan on the forehead: "My little girl is so smart, she got everything right."
Although these questions were as simple as one plus one equals two for Shen Jingyan, she still felt very happy when the words of praise came from the handsome Teacher Gu.
"When have I ever not been completely right?"
Gu Zhiyun checked Shen Jingyan's copy of "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" again, and there was not a single typo.
The little girl's handwriting is delicate and neat; just looking at it is a pleasure.
"Jingya, it's such a pity you didn't go to high school."
Shen Jingyan chuckled to herself; in her previous life, she had earned a doctorate and had studied for much longer than Gu Zhiyun.
"It's no pity, isn't it? I have Teacher Gu teaching me, and he's teaching me so well!"
Every time the little girl calls out "Teacher Gu," her eyes sparkle with a mischievous light.
For some reason, Gu Zhiyun was particularly sensitive to this title. Whenever the little girl called him Teacher Gu, he felt an urge to crush her in his arms.
"Teacher Gu teaches so well, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"
Shen Jingyan pointed to the fragrant bowl of shredded pork noodles and said, "I make you midnight snacks every day, isn't that enough?"
Not enough, how can one bowl of shredded pork noodles be enough?
Gu Zhiyun pinched Shen Jingyan's rosy cheeks and placed a warm, wet kiss on her cherry lips.
"You have to say it like this!"
Shen Jingyan's breathing became a little erratic from the kiss, and her ears felt like they were on fire.
She shoved the bowl of noodles into Gu Zhiyun's hands and muttered to herself:
"It's getting cold, hurry up and eat it! You little monster!"
Gu Zhiyun then smiled and picked up the bowl of noodles.
"Ding—Dear Master, a mission has arrived!"
The system popped up: "Help Gu Zhiqing solve the solid geometry problem on the blackboard to earn 20,000 points!"
Chen Jingyan raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Ba, you've come at just the right time! How did you know I was short of points lately!"
"Hehe, Xiao Ba understands its master's thoughts best!"
While Gu Zhiyun was eating his noodles with his head down, Shen Jingyan quickly picked up a piece of chalk and drew an auxiliary line on the triangular pyramid.
When Gu Zhiyun finished his bowl of noodles and looked up, Chen Jingyan pretended to be writing ancient poems on the blackboard.
Gu Zhiyun stared at the auxiliary line, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, immediately coming up with a solution.
At the same time, he also wondered how this auxiliary line appeared out of nowhere.
His daughter only has a junior high school education; she couldn't possibly solve high school solid geometry problems.
What's more, this was the final, most challenging problem. He had been thinking about it for over an hour but still couldn't come up with a solution!
But apart from Chen Jingyan, no one else in the room drew this auxiliary line!
"Jingya, did you draw the auxiliary lines?"
Shen Jingyan nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Um... I just thought it was fun, so I just drew it randomly!"
Gu Zhiyun's eyes were filled with disbelief.
How can you draw the solution to a problem so easily?
What a coincidence!
Like a child who had done something wrong, Shen Jingyan picked up a rag to wipe the blackboard: "Am I disturbing your work? I'll wipe it right away!"
"Don't wipe it! Don't wipe it!"
Gu Zhiyun grabbed her wrist, half surprised and half delighted, "Jingya, you just casually drew the solution to the problem!"
With a smile that curved her eyes, she said calmly, "Hehe, then I'm just adding icing on the cake, not gilding the lily?"
Gu Zhiyun laughed and said, "Jingya, do you really only have a junior high school education? I think you're smarter than me."
The little girl's beautiful big eyes blinked a few times.
"I can't possibly have a PhD, can I?"
Gu Zhiyun has always been powerless against Shen Jingyan's smile. He put his arm around the girl's shoulder and kissed her several times on the cheek.
"Not now, but who knows what the future holds!"
With the correct auxiliary lines, Gu Zhiyun quickly calculated the correct answer, and Shen Jingyan also successfully obtained 20,000 points.
That very night, she used her points to exchange for a large number of food coupons.
The next day, under a clear sky, Chen Jingyan rode his tricycle to the town's supply and marketing cooperative, where he exchanged his grain coupons for several hundred kilograms of grain.
There was so much grain that she couldn't possibly eat it all herself, so she went to the market to sell some of it.
The grain sold very well, and it was almost sold out before noon. Shen Jingyan counted the money she got from selling the grain, which totaled one hundred and twenty-five yuan.
So far, she has saved 1,500 yuan, which is not a small amount in this day and age.
In the countryside, this amount of money is more than enough to build three new houses, a side room, and a courtyard wall.
She had already planned it out; she would save the money for her and Gu Zhiyun's university education.
She happily hopped on her tricycle and headed towards the forest farm.
As they reached a fork in the road, Shen Jingyan saw a group of people gathered ahead, pointing and whispering about something.
Curious, she went closer and discovered that an old man with white hair was lying in the middle of the crowd, his cotton-padded clothes were tattered.
The old man seemed to have fainted, lying motionless on the ground with a large purplish-blue patch on his forehead.
In any era, people are afraid of getting into trouble and dare not take on any issues. As a result, there were many onlookers, but no one dared to step forward to check on the old man's condition.
For no other reason than fear of being scammed!
For some reason, Shen Jingyan felt a sense of warmth and familiarity when she glanced at the old man.
She stopped her tricycle and squeezed into the crowd.
Just as she was about to step forward, an older woman stopped her.
"Girl, is this your family's elder?"
Shen Jingyan shook her head: "No."
"Hey, then don't meddle in other people's business!" the old lady kindly reminded him. "These days, there are plenty of people who try to extort money. What if his family comes and says you hit the old man and made him like this? You won't be able to explain yourself no matter how hard you try!"
He calmly smiled and said, "Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Let's save this life first and then consider other things!"
Without hesitation, she stepped forward and helped the old man up from the ground.
The old man grunted twice and struggled to open his eyes.
He stared blankly at Shen Jingyan, then suddenly said out of the blue, "You look just like my son!"
