Gu Si once again revealed a horrified look. "Why did you take the English test first?"

Ming Xue Mo said as if it was a matter of course: "What's there to make up for?"

Unable to accept this tragic fact, Gu Si sent a pleading message to the pinhole camera under the chandelier, "Grandmother, save me —"

Teacher Tang, who was sitting in the control room, could clearly see everything that had happened in Gu Si's room. However, she was delighted to see that Gu Si had chosen not to save her.

Mingxue, who did not know that her every action was observed by others, placed the exam paper on his desk. With an indifferent expression, she said, "Other than you, no one else can save you." After deciding on the timer, he started counting down.

Gu Si reluctantly walked over, thinking regretfully, "Being a person just doesn't mean you can't be too honest." As he walked, he painstakingly completed the exam paper.

Half an hour later, Gu Si passed the exam paper to Ming Xue Mo.

Ming Xue Jia took five minutes to inspect the situation from beginning to end. With an unsightly expression, she told him, "Failed."

Gu Si didn't believe it. Although his English wasn't well learned, it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't even get 60 points. "What year's question did you set?" He felt that there must be a problem with the question!

"Fourth grade."

"What?" Gu Si inconceivably blurted out a word. This was a comparison between the two of them in terms of reality? In front of an extremely intelligent person, he seemed especially stupid?

MingXue Mo forgot to tell him her standard: "My passing mark is 90 points."

Gu Si claimed that she had calculated incorrectly, "Your total score of 150 points is only 90 points. Your total score of 100 points is only 100 points. You should have passed 60 points." His mathematics was still very good because he liked to settle accounts and collect money.

Ming Xue Mo had a calm expression on her face, "To me, a 100 points test requires one to get 90 points before passing."

Gu Si stopped pinching and mumbled, "Your demands are too high."

"Maybe." No matter if he thought she was tall or not, she was still a rule. He began to analyze the problems in his studies based on Gu Si's test results. "Your weakest link is the English word …"

Gu Si acknowledged, "I hate reciting words."

Mingxue slightly shook her head and encouraged him, "Actually, words are not that scary." "Let me give you an example. For example, this word, Pest, you can remember it in five seconds and never forget it again."

"It's that magical?" Gu Si was very curious about this' once and for all 'method. "How do you remember?"

"First, if you look at the pronunciation of the word, it's a pest; then we can think of some homophonic words based on the pronunciation of the word. [pest] — smack it to death, and then we can combine the meaning of the word with the homophonic. Pest means vermin, so we can understand that vermin will smack it to death, and pest is a vermin."

Gu Si listened with relish and read along with great interest, "Pest, smack it to death, insect." Sure enough, he remembered it all at once.

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a knock on the door.

Gu Si walked over to the door and opened it. As he walked, he thought back to what had happened. "Smash it to death. Smash it to death …"

Gu Zi, who was standing at the door, heard him chanting and asked with a smile, "Who do you want to kill?"

Gu Si raised his small face and looked at him. "Uncle, when did you come back?" It shouldn't be nine o'clock yet.

Gu Zi asked as he placed a hand on Gu Si's shoulder, looking as if they were brothers. "I just got home. How's your learning going?" He had come back to check up on his studies under the guise of Gu Si's first tutoring session, so he hadn't been chased out by Teacher Tang.

Gu Si excitedly said to him: "Let me tell you, Big Sister Xue Mo just taught me a brilliant method. You don't have to worry about me studying in the future anymore, English, soeasy."

Gu Zi asked in a funny way, "Are you advertising?"

"I'm publishing my study."

Gu Zi asked when he found out he really dared to say it. He grabbed his head and greeted Ming Xue Mo, "Little girl, we meet again. Gu Si didn't give you any trouble, right?"

She looked at him with a strange gaze. Why would her uncle live with her nephew?

On second thought, she found more questions: How could a nephew have the same surname as his uncle? And they look so much alike? Auntie Yun had said that children who spent a lot of time with others would look like them. Was this true?

When Gu Zi saw the hint of mystery in her eyes, he smiled and said, "You're looking at me without blinking. If you don't, I'll call you molester."

Ming Xue Mo couldn't help but smile. Was he trying to extort her? Was he trying to slander her?

He said naturally: "If you don't look at me, how would you know that I'm looking at you? Since you're looking at me, even if we're even, what right do you have to call molestation?"

"…" Gu Zi asked about the new record, and warned Ming Xue Mo with a smile, "This is my territory, don't speak so sharply."

Would Ming Xue Mo be afraid of him?

"You don't need to be reasonable in your territory?"

"Do you know what I do for a living?" Gu Zi asked. He really admired her. Talking reason with the underworld, wasn't that too funny?

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you."

"…" Gouzi Wen was defeated by her once again.

He couldn't talk to her anymore, or he would start to doubt his charm. He turned to look at Gu Si. "I heard from Grandma that you only ate a little dinner. Do you want to go out for a midnight snack after learning?"

"Sure, sure." At this moment, Gu Si felt like eating ice cream, "Big Sister Xue Mei …" He actually wanted to ask if she wanted to go with them, but he remembered the plate of fried dumplings that she had so miserably rejected and didn't dare to easily invite his.

Ming Xue Mo automatically ignored his shy eyes, picked up her phone to look at the time, and said: "It's not early anymore, we'll stop here for today."

Gu Si's expression instantly turned into one of elation and jubilation that liberated the entire world.

"Then we'll take you home first, and then we'll go have supper."

"Yes."

The three of them got into the car and left. Gu Zi Wen was in charge of driving, while Gu Si and Ming Xue Mo sat in the back.

When they passed by a McDonald's, a melodious female voice floated into Gu Si's ears through the radio. "Welcome to the new market for popcorn flavored ice cream. The dessert station's dessert and beverage products are the second half price. Come and try it …"

Gu Si greedily swallowed his saliva, then eagerly asked Mou Ming Xue who was beside him, "Big Sister Xue Mei, treating you to ice cream, is that considered a bribe?"

"Right." Ming Xue Mo's tone was sonorous.

Gu Si secretly stuck out her tongue, but just as he was about to helplessly say, "Then I'll eat it myself." Because she was going to give him lessons, she drank a box of milk for dinner after school.

"I didn't even pass the exam and there's a reward?" Gu Si asked in surprise.

Ming Xue Mo nodded and said, "Of course, it's the consolation prize."

Gu Si gave her a thumbs up in admiration. That's right, he was already in a bad mood after he failed the exam, so he should comfort her. However, there were some teachers and parents who would scold their students in such a situation. They had no idea that other than dispelling their interest and motivation to study, there was no other use for it.

He really liked her way of thinking more and more.

"Let's go!" Gu Si immediately called Gu Zi to ask as he parked the car.
