Chapter 155: Chapter 125: Sis, You’re Trying a Little Too Hard
Zhou Shaojie looked at his math homework, with only the last major problem remaining. He then glanced at Shen Yuan’s homework and slumped dejectedly into his seat.
A tiny Ah Jie, filled with immense sorrow.
However, Ah Jie felt there was still hope for him.
Ten minutes later, Ah Jie had uploaded his homework.
Zhou Shaojie: "No way that idiot Shen Yuan’s homework is better than mine! Let me copy it!"
Chen Mingyu: "Too late."
Yang Ze: "Copying homework? Copying homework is simple! Why not copy homework? A man’s gotta have his pride! (SLAP SLAP SLAP)"
Sun Xiansheng: "A man’s gotta have his pride!"
Shen Yuan didn’t join in on the meme. Instead, he opened Ah Jie’s math homework and started correcting it.
The messy handwriting on the assignment showed that Ah Jie had clearly rushed through it.
As for the incorrect answers, Shen Yuan decided to jot them down first and show them to Li Zhi later.
’The pretty girl is probably still doing her homework. She likely won’t pay me any mind right now.’
After enjoying the show, Shen Yuan started on his physics homework.
He wrestled with his physics homework until 10 PM, by which point Shen Yuan felt completely burnt out.
"Help, help! Young Master Li, save me!"
Since he had nothing better to do, Shen Yuan went ahead and made a video call.
Li Zhi answered the call almost immediately.
On the other end of the video, the pretty girl had a test paper spread out on her desk.
"What do you want?"
"Are you done with your math homework? Let me check mine against yours."
Hearing this, Li Zhi raised an eyebrow. "You didn’t just copy it?"
"I did it myself, okay!"
Shen Yuan held up his math homework. "Look at all these eraser marks. Does this look like I copied it? The answers written in pencil on the side are Zhou Shaojie’s. Can you check if they’re right? I’m just not sure about these few problems."
Li Zhi glanced at the math homework Shen Yuan was showing her.
"You need to change all the answers you were unsure about."
Hearing this, Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched.
’As expected. Even though Ah Jie rushed through this, my own intellect is still no match for his mathematical genius, huh?’
"I get it."
After saying that, Shen Yuan seemed to remember something. He said to Li Zhi, "Oh, right. Do you want to copy my English homework? I feel like it’s a waste of time for you to do it."
Li Zhi’s eyebrow twitched, but she nodded. "Fine. Send it over. It’ll save me some time."
Hearing Li Zhi’s reply, Shen Yuan immediately broke into a brilliant smile.
"You got it!"
Li Zhi soon received a message from Shen Yuan. It was a long string of A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s, thoughtfully organized into sections.
While their Eldest Female Cousin might pay special attention to Ah Jie’s English homework, she wouldn’t even spare a glance for Li Zhi’s.
What was there to see?
Was she supposed to nitpick for the sake of it?
Their Eldest Female Cousin wasn’t that bored.
Of course, when it came to Shen Yuan, their Eldest Female Cousin did enjoy teasing him out of spite every now and then.
By the time Li Zhi put down her pen, it was already 11:30 PM.
’It’s this late already.’ freёwebnovel.com
Li Zhi rubbed her wrist and habitually opened her phone.
A message from Shen Yuan was already waiting for her "approval."
Shen Yuan: "Sister Shui is coming with us tomorrow. I told her to pick us up early so we can go to Old Street and get some rice cakes!"
Li Zhi’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but roast him in her head. ’That idiot Shen Yuan. Doesn’t he know you’re supposed to sleep in during the holidays?’
’If you wanted to eat those rice cakes, you had to get up around 6 AM and get to Old Street before 7 AM.’
’And even that might be a little too late.’
Li Zhi was rather reluctant to waste a perfectly good day off on a single snack.
’Besides, what would they even do after eating?’
’Wander around Old Street?’
’Li Zhi really couldn’t understand Shen Yuan’s logic.’
However, when Li Zhi replied to Shen Yuan, her message took on a completely different tone.
Li Zhi: "Go ask Sister Shui. See if *she* can even get up that early."
Li Zhi’s real intention was to suggest that their Eldest Female Cousin probably wouldn’t be able to get up.
But Li Zhi had underestimated their Eldest Female Cousin. And she had underestimated Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan quickly sent over a screenshot of his chat history with their Eldest Female Cousin.
Shen Yuan: "Sis, you in for rice cakes at Old Street tomorrow!"
Yang Yishui: "? Can’t get up."
Shen Yuan: "It’s on me."
Yang Yishui: "Huh? Why did my blanket suddenly fly off?"
Shen Yuan: "I’ll handle things with Grandma and Grandpa."
Yang Yishui: "Huh? Why are my clothes suddenly on?"
Shen Yuan: "A week’s worth of ice cream at school."
Yang Yishui: "Huh? How am I already downstairs from your place?"
Shen Yuan: "6:20 AM tomorrow at the community gate. Be there or be square!"
Yang Yishui: "OK!"
Looking at the chat log between the two cousins, Li Zhi pouted and quickly sent a message to Shen Yuan.
DING DONG!
Shen Yuan glanced at the message that popped up on his phone and was delighted.
Li Zhi: "??? I don’t get any ice cream?"
Li Zhi: "Huh?"
Li Zhi: "Do I get ice cream or not?!?"
Li Zhi: "Answer me!"
Li Zhi: "[Husky pointing a finger]"
