Su Wen accompanied her sixth sister and little sister as they worked on homework in the living room. Despite the lively atmosphere created by the two little girls, they both demonstrated remarkable intelligence, especially Su Wen’s sixth sister. However, Su Wen couldn’t help but feel frustrated with her little sister’s performance in mathematics, an area where she consistently struggled despite excelling in other subjects.
When faced with a simple math problem for example 16+2-7, Su Wen antic.i.p.ated that her little sister would easily solve it. However, her optimism quickly faded as she observed her sister attempting to count on her fingers and even consider using her toes, realizing that it was inappropriate for a primary school setting. The scene unfolded like a struggle against ADHD.
Su Wen’s sixth sister, having already completed her homework, watched with amus.e.m.e.nt as she hoped her little sister’s mathematical inept.i.tude would make her less likeable. Determined to be seen as the academic standout, she confronted her sister, only to hear an incorrect answer and witness the struggle to explain it.
Frustration mounting, Su Wen questioned her sister’s failure to grasp the concept, reminding her that the solution was similar to a previously solved problem.
“Did you figure it out?” Su Wen couldn’t help but inquire.
Little sister shivered, wearing a mournful expression as she pleaded for mercy, “Big sister, I… I figured it out.” “What is it?”
“It’s equal to… It’s equal to 9.”
Su Wen pressed her forehead with her hand, unable to contain her frustration. She finally understood why so many parents lost their temper while a.s.sisting their children with homework.
“Didn’t I just teach you the last question? You knew 16+2-6, and it’s written in your exercise book. Why don’t you know 16+2-7?” Su Wen took a deep breath, noticing Sixth Sister’s eager expression from the corner of her eye.
Her little sister’s tearful reaction triggered concern and prompted Su Wen’s sixth sister to intervene, threatening consequences if the tears continued.
Little sister felt devastated, fearing that her perceived lack of intelligence might make Big sister dislike her. She burst into tears with a loud wail.
“Big sister doesn’t like me anymore, none of you like me anymore… Sob, sob, sob…” She became a tearful figure.
“Don’t cry.” The sixth sister disliked it when the Little sister cried. “Did you hear what I said? Don’t cry. If you cry again, I’ll make Big sister ignore you in the future. ”
“Okay!” Little sister abruptly halted her tears and agreed with remarkable straightforwardness.
Amused by the melodrama, Su Wen quipped that her little sister might not become a mathematician but had potential as an actress, acknowledging her ability to control her tears. The tension escalated as the sixth sister criticized the little sister’s intelligence, leading to a playful retort.
Little sister made a face at the Sixth sister.
Despite the academic challenges, Su Wen encouraged the two sisters to support each other, recognizing their strengths. After the tutoring session, she left the living room and walked back to her private s.p.a.ce with Hengyang, eagerly antic.i.p.ating his return.
As she stood in the corridor, the familiar sound of a car approached, and her excitement soared. Hengyang emerged, tall and handsome, and Su Wen couldn’t contain her eagerness to embrace him and savour his scent..
