There was the sound of snow melting and falling on the balcony outside the window. Xu Tang took it again after listening to Shen Queyan talk about her wrong questions on the previous paper.
At first she thought Shen Queyan was just like her second brother.
The way top students solve problems is always different from others, and they can figure out the next step out of nowhere, as if it should be like this, but she can't keep up at all.
But after talking about a big math problem, she found that it was completely different.
Shen Queyan is particularly flexible in solving problems. If Xu Tang doesn't understand, he will change his method. After half a morning of running in, the two of them have found the most suitable method.
Xu Tang worked hard to calculate the big question. In fact, she usually stopped when she reached the second question. Today, after hearing Shen Queyan's ideas, she actually wanted to challenge it.
The boy sitting next to him was half-leaning on the table, very quiet, and occasionally looking out the window.
Xu Tang looked up at him midway, and the sun fell right next to him, making his whole person shine.
She thought Shen Queyan was looking outside and not paying attention to her, but just when she finished writing the last number, the man who had been wandering quietly suddenly spoke up.
"Let me see."
Xu Tang was surprised by his keenness and handed over the test paper.
He lowered his eyes and looked at it carefully. He held a pen in his hand and wrote a few random strokes on the draft paper. He raised his eyelids and landed on Xu Tang, "Are you sure?"
Xu Tang was quite sure at first, but when he asked, he became nervous again. He glanced at his calculation process and said, "Maybe I made a mistake..."
"Be confident." Shen Queyan's dark eyes turned light in the sunlight, as beautiful as amber stone, "The result is right."
Xu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, joy burst out of his heart, and he finally showed a little childishness.
His tone was particularly proud, "This is the first time I have done this type of question."
"But -" Shen Queyan deliberately prolonged the ending, a little bit evil, "One less condition was set."
Xu Tang looked at the place he had sketched out, and it was indeed the case.
Shen Queyan was playing with the girl's pen in his hand. The uppermost part was a cat. He pressed his fingertips on it and said, "It's already very impressive to learn this level today. Let's rest for ten minutes." "
The atmosphere relaxed, and Xu Tang went to the kitchen to bring a plate of fruit and handed it to the boy. The two of them talked about the study habits and teaching depth of the attached middle school.
Xu Tang saw his phone on the table, and after thinking about it, he asked carefully, "Brother, where do you live now?"
Shen Queyan originally wanted to say that he was staying at a relative's house, but when he turned his head and saw the girl's sincere eyes, he remembered what happened that day. She was the only one who knew about it.
He told the truth nonchalantly, "Hotel, I don't have a place to stay in a city as big as Jiang City."
Xu Tang was still a high school student, and he always felt panicked and helpless when it came to words like staying out at night and running away from home.
She asked, "But you are quarreling with your family and how can you live by yourself without living expenses?"
Shen Queyan was stunned. He had learned to live on his own away from home very early. This was the first time someone asked him whether he was short of money and how he lived. A gentle smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"Brother no longer depends on his family for survival."
He originally wanted to say that family and relatives were not that important, but looking at the well-behaved girl in front of him, he felt that he was teaching a bad child, so he smiled and said nothing more.
"Then tell me if you run out of money." Xu Tang stuffed a whole strawberry into his mouth, his cheeks bulging.
Shen Queyan's hand that originally wanted to rub her hair fell on her swollen cheeks, and he squeezed it gently. The feel was better than he expected, and his tone was teasing, "You, a high school student, hide a small treasury?"
Xu Tang's face felt hot, perhaps because the room was too heated. She glanced at the open bedroom door and saw that no one was there.
Shen Queyan caught her little eyes, as if he wanted to do something wrong, he stared at the girl meaningfully, and the next second——
The girl suddenly came closer, and the faint fragrance of laundry detergent hit the tip of his nose. Her fluffy hair scraped against his chin, causing an itch.
Then I heard her reply quietly.
"I can quietly borrow money from my second brother. I know his payment password."
Shen Queyan really couldn't hold back his laughter this time. He was lying on the table and his shoulders were shaking with laughter. Xu Tang looked at him inexplicably and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
But she really knows Xu Chensi's password, and she even has his fingerprints.
Shen Queyan still had a smile in his eyes, "Your brother will be happy, he is willing to help others."
Xu Tang complained in his heart, "No, that's not true. His second brother is a famously cold-faced academic who is not helpful at all. Their college roommate must have been deceived by him."
Shen Queyan finally finished laughing, looked at the time it was almost time to rest, and took out a new paper that Xu Tang brought back from vacation.
"You have to seize the time and make your choices first to fill in the blanks."
Xu Tang nodded, and the room became quiet again, with only the rustle of the girl writing.
Shen Queyan's eyes wandered to the bedroom door when he saw Xu Chensi leaning against the wall.
He left the girl to do the questions on her own, got up and left the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
"So early?" Xu Chensi was still sleepy.
Shen Queyan pointed to the clock and said, "Is this morning? Your sister has already finished one set of questions."
"It seems to be quite effective." He nodded. After all, when he lectured on topics, the two of them would always spend the whole morning on the same question, which was not efficient at all. "How about the little one?"
Shen Queyan calmed down and said, "He is very smart and can make sense once he explains it, but he always hesitates to take action when encountering difficult problems."
"Well, she is timid and just wants to be safe." Xu Chensi said.
"There is another question." Shen Queyan discovered it from the beginning, but he did not clarify it with Xu Tang just now. "I am not confident. I don't believe that I can do it, and I don't believe in the answer that I have calculated. Logically speaking, It is said that high school students of this age will be more or less unconfident, but it is not so serious."
Xu Chensi fell silent immediately, looking like he was in trouble, "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Shen Queyan patted his shoulder and joked, "Why don't you give your sister some of your narcissism?"
Xu Chensi rolled his eyes, "In the whole dormitory, no one dares to say that you are number one and number two."
In the room, Xu Tang put down his pen and felt that he was in good condition today and his mind was spinning faster.
She poked her face idly with the pen, and suddenly realized that this was the spot Shen Queyan pinched just now.
The eldest and second brothers at home often pinched her like this, but she had also seen young couples who secretly fell in love at school do the same, and Xu Tang couldn't tell the difference for a moment.
But the school strictly prohibited puppy love, and she never thought about it.
While he was lost in thought, the cell phone he kept there to record the time suddenly rang, and Xu Tang saw the name beating on it.
"Lin Nian"
An extremely obvious girl's name, the same as the name that popped up when she played a game last time. Her heart beat wildly up and down in response to the ringtone, and she couldn't settle down.
She was about to call Shen Queyan to come in, when someone outside heard the bell and pushed the door open.
Xu Tang watched him pick up the phone with a gloomy look on his face. He answered quickly, "I've got something to do," and hung up the phone decisively.
Before she had time to think, she had already asked the question. Her voice was low and cautious.
"Is she your girlfriend, brother?"
