"Mom, the teacher said that time is like water in a sponge, you can squeeze some out. Brother Xinghe, you will definitely have time."
"Qinghuan, your Xinghe brother is indeed busy. In a few days, I'll find you a new tutor to tutor you."
"No! I don't want anyone but Brother Xinghe! Think about it, I've already eaten fine chaff, how could I possibly eat coarse grains?"
"Forget about coarse grains and fine bran, don't even think about making excuses to be lazy. You've been playing at home all summer, haven't you gone crazy? Anyway, I've already found you a tutor."
Liu Qinghuan's eyes darted around. "Okay, sis, I'll make it up, alright?"
"Don't even think about driving your new tutor away. Let me tell you, if you dare to make your new tutor cry, your brother Xinghe will not let you off the hook."
"Huh? Sis, what do you mean by that?"
"Should you speak or should I speak?" Liu Qinghuan asked Wang Xinghe.
"Go ahead and tell me."
"This new tutor is your Xinghe brother's sister. She is also an excellent student, ranking first in Ningjiang City. She is taking the college entrance examination these days and will come to Kyoto after the exam."
"Huh? Brother Xinghe, you have a younger sister? Really? Is she your biological sister? Sis, why didn't you tell me?"
"Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? All you need to know is that she is your Xinghe brother's sister. If you dare to bully her, your Xinghe brother will blame you, and I won't stop him."
"Sister, has the love disappeared? What if she bullies me? I'm your sister too."
"Mom! Look at my sister, she's not even married yet, and she's already thinking about supporting Xinghe's sister. Aren't I your own daughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Xinghe's sister must be very well-behaved. Who would dare to bully you? You should be thanking your lucky stars if you don't cause trouble!"
"Mom, has Qinghuan gotten into trouble again?"
"Sis, I suddenly remembered that I haven't done my homework yet. I'm going upstairs now. Xinghe, I'm going upstairs to do my homework."
"Stop right there! Tell me, what have you done now?"
"It's just a small problem."
"You little rascal, you paid a classmate to do your homework for you, and the teacher even called me."
"Liu Qinghuan, stop right there! Why are you running away!"
"Sister, my dear sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong!"
"I think you have way too much pocket money! You didn't get a single penny this month!"
"Ah! Sister, you won't give me a single penny! Do you want me to starve to death at school?"
"Mom, from now on, have Uncle Li deliver meals to Qinghuan every day. Don't give her any more pocket money before summer vacation."
"Okay, we'll do as your sister says. I'll tell Uncle Li to bring you food every day."
"I know! I'm definitely the only outsider in our family, otherwise you guys would gang up on me!" Liu Qinghuan stormed upstairs.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not eating anymore!"
"Alright, let's eat first. She'll come down to find something to eat when she gets hungry. Don't worry about her. Xinghe, let's go eat. I asked the housekeeper to make a lot of your favorite dishes."
"Okay, no need for that. I'm fine with anything."
"That won't do. You only come once in a long while. Mengmeng said you've been abroad all this time?"
"Yes, I visited some top-notch math labs abroad to learn from their experience."
"Great! I heard about that from Mengmeng too. It's good that you already have a goal to strive for."
Bai Yueying became more and more satisfied with Wang Xinghe the more she looked at him, almost like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. How could she feel that her Mengmeng was marrying above her station with such an outstanding person?
"Mom, don't look at the Milky Way like that, this is my boyfriend."
"What are you saying, girl? I'm just admiring the Milky Way. If you don't work harder, you won't be worthy of the Milky Way in the future."
"Mom, I've already tried my best, okay?"
"Have you thought about the company management thing your dad mentioned during the summer vacation?"
"I've thought it over, I've decided to give it a try."
“Okay, we will gradually hand over the company’s affairs to you. You can handle it while you are in school, but after you graduate, the company will be handed over to you. Your father and I can finally retire.”
"Mom, are you already thinking of washing your hands of the company so soon? Are you really comfortable handing it over to me?"
“Your father and I have been taking over the Liu family business from your grandfather for over twenty years. Your father took over the Liu family business right after graduating from university. Shouldn’t we enjoy it a bit?”
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."
"Hey girl, Xinghe, come on, try this chicken wing, how about it?"
"Mom, I want one too."
"If you want to, why don't you just use your own fingers?"
"That's not on your side. You put food on his plate, but you don't put any on mine."
"Okay, I'll put one in your bowl."
After dinner, Wang Xinghe packed a portion and said he was going upstairs to see Liu Qinghuan.
"Xinghe, could you help us criticize Qinghuan? Although this girl is afraid of Mengmeng, she won't listen to you. She'll only listen to you."
"Okay, Aunt Bai, I will criticize her."
"Thump! Thump!"
"Nobody's here, they're asleep!"
Wang Xinghe still pushed open the door.
"Didn't I say I was already asleep?"
"Qinghuan, are you asleep?"
Upon hearing Wang Xinghe's voice, Liu Qinghuan turned around and softened her tone, "Brother Xinghe, it's you."
"What? Are you sulking and don't want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Not hungry? Then I'll take it. Tonight's dinner is quite sumptuous, with chicken wings, braised pork, and stewed beef. Oh, and there's also pork rib soup."
Wang Xinghe presented the dish to Liu Qinghuan, let her take a look, and then pretended to get up and leave.
"Brother Xinghe, you can put it here. I'll eat it if I get hungry later."
"Yes, eating is the most important thing in the world. Only when you're full can you have the energy to live."
"Brother Xinghe, do you think my mom and sister are being really unreasonable?"
"I think you're even worse. You made your classmates do your homework for you and even paid them. What were you thinking!" Wang Xinghe tapped Liu Qinghuan's forehead.
"Oh, Xinghe, don't hit my head! I had too much homework, and I knew all the answers to those questions, so I asked my classmates to help me. Besides, I didn't ask them to do it for free; I paid them."
"All talk and no action! Just because you know it doesn't mean you can stop doing it?"
"Isn't that a waste of time?"
"Learning is like building a house. Only if the foundation is solid can the house be built tall without collapsing. Basic questions are very important. In exams, basic questions account for more than 60%. Can you be sure that you can get them all right?"
"Oh, Xinghe brother, then I won't let my classmates do my homework for me anymore."
