Chapter 151 Brothers at loggerheads

The three personal trainers were so anxious that they kept giving Xu Wan advice every now and then, which made her laugh and cry.

After finally sending Pan Hongzhi away again, Cuizhi served her a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea and asked in confusion, "Madam, why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't we say before that we had to let Master Cheng hit a wall himself so that he would learn his lesson?"

Xu Wan took the teacup and took a sip. "Before, Jin Cheng was too arrogant and needed to be suppressed. But now he has just been hit by Qin Ye and he is not in good condition. If he is suppressed twice in this situation, not only will he not be able to clearly understand himself, but it will also destroy his psychological defenses. He will feel... I am a waste and can't do anything well. After that, he will be devastated and lose interest in doing anything."

Only people who have studied for many years know this principle, because they have seen many of their classmates being defeated by continuous setbacks. That is why the three private instructors are so anxious, and that is why Xu Wan understands their thoughts so well.

"So that's how it is. No wonder all the private trainers are feeling like they are facing a formidable enemy." Cuizhi thought, this is indeed the biggest crisis since the establishment of the key class.

If Master Cheng fails to recover, all these teaching plans will be ruined.

"But you said that Master Cheng is not in good condition?" Cuizhi grasped this key point and was puzzled again, "But didn't you also tell Master Xiu that Master Cheng is very focused on studying now, and let Master Cheng experience this feeling more?"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Yes, there is no conflict. Although he is different from usual, he has found the kind of immersive reading that I want him to experience. It's just that he has a knot in his heart. This knot has been growing for three days and has not disappeared in his heart."

"You mean Qin Ye..."

Xu Wan put down her teacup and arranged, "Go and ask Wen Xiu to come over. Tell him I have something to talk to him about."

Even though she is eloquent, the knot in her heart should still be untied by the person closest to her, and Wen Xiu is that person.

"Hello, aunt." Wen Xiu came in and bowed to her.

Xu Wan was very pleased and said to him, "Sit down. I want to talk to you about Jin Cheng."

Zong Wenxiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Xu Wan asked, "What do you think of Jin Cheng's performance these days?"

Zong Wenxiu thought for a moment and began to praise him, "Jincheng has been devoting himself to studying recently. He is more focused than before and rarely thinks about other things. I think at this rate, he will soon surpass me."

Xu Wan smiled and guided him to think: "There are other things besides studying."

Zong Wenxiu continued to think: "He seems to eat less. He used to eat a lot and kept saying he wanted to grow taller. But these days, he just eats a little and then rushes to the study to study. He also sleeps less. Mr. Pan's dark circles are getting bigger. He said his younger brother kept asking him questions about the book. I guess there's nothing else."

Xu Wan smiled and asked him, "Jincheng hasn't laughed in three days. Did you notice?"

Zong Wenxiu was suddenly awakened as if struck by lightning.

Yes, it's been three days.

The younger brother studied very hard for three days, neglecting food and sleep, and even never smiled, but his older brother did not notice it and thought that his younger brother had finally started to concentrate on his studies...

Xu Wan said: "Jin Cheng had always regarded Qin Ye as his goal, but suddenly Qin Ye shattered this dream in front of him. He was very angry and very sad. But after growing up, Jin Cheng forced himself to suppress these emotions and forced himself to concentrate on studying, but the knot in his heart was not resolved."

Everyone knows what the consequences of long-term depression will be.

But no one, no one noticed that the younger brother was depressed, not even his own brother.

Zong Wenxiu said guiltily: "Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I understand. I'll go find Jin Cheng now!"

The evening class in the study room had ended, and when Zong Wenxiu returned, the room was empty. Only then did he finally realize that his brother was abnormal.

In the past, no matter how late it was, his younger brother would wait for him to leave together, but now, his younger brother was eager to cram knowledge into his head, and after the evening class he would go back to his room to continue chatting with Pan Hongzhi about study.

My little brother, who used to be so clingy, cute and lively, has been missing for three days.

Zong Wenxiu ran quickly towards the little devil's yard. The doors of the house were open. He ran in breathlessly and saw Pan Hongzhi lecturing on "Mencius". His younger brother was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hands and listening very attentively.

The little devil looked over with his bright black eyes and asked, "Brother, do you also want to listen to Master Pan's lecture? We can listen together."

Zong Wenxiu's chest was still heaving from running for too long. He opened his mouth and said, "I want to sleep with you today. Is that okay?"

Pan Hongzhi felt like he had been saved when he heard this. He wanted to agree immediately on behalf of the little devil. This brat had been holding him back for three days and he could hardly bear it anymore.

But Zong Jincheng said, "Okay, then you sleep with me, and we will listen to Master Pan's lecture together."

Pan Hongzhi: “…”

Hold on, you must hold on!

Remember, you can earn one hundred taels a month!

Pan Hongzhi gritted his teeth and tried to persuade himself again, but Zong Wenxiu went over and snatched the book from Zong Jincheng's hand. For the first time, he said to his brother so firmly: "No, I just want to sleep in this room with you two. Master Pan, please go to my room and sleep for one night."

Seeing that the little devil did not object, Pan Hongzhi quickly slipped away while the conversation was going on, fearing that he would be called back if he ran too slowly.

When there were only two people left in the room, Zong Jincheng took the book from him, sat down silently and continued reading.

He was a little unhappy.

But the person who disturbed him from studying was his brother, and even if he was unhappy, he would not lose his temper with his brother.

Zong Jincheng sat down to read the book by himself. Although he could recite this page, he still didn't understand it thoroughly. Without Master Pan to explain it to him at any time, he started to recite the contents of the next page first.

Seeing that he was still so abnormal, Zong Wenxiu could no longer bear it, and reached out to snatch his brother's book again, stopping him and saying, "Don't read anymore, take a break, Master Pan is very tired, aren't you tired too?"

Zong Jincheng stared at him and said stubbornly, "I'm not tired. I want to read. Give me back the book."

"I won't return it to you. You should sleep well today." It was rare for Zong Wenxiu to be so tough, but he couldn't let his brother go on like this.

Zong Jincheng stared at him with his dark eyes, clenched his fists and said, "Brother, I have a bad temper and limited patience. Don't make me angry."

Zong Wenxiu nodded, took a step back with the book in hand, and said in a hard voice, "Okay, then you get angry. Let me see if you're still angry now."
