“Yeya has to study.” (2)

Her homework was graded quickly : 0 points.

“Huh??” Yeya bit her finger in confusion.

She answered all the questions correctly… didn’t she?

Young Yeya, who was extremely confident of herself, didn’t understand what went wrong.

The class ended after three hours. The teacher sent all the student’s evaluations to the systems in charge of the students.

[Teacher]: The dragon cub of system No. 3 learns very quickly. He received perfect scores for all three classes. Grade: SSS.]

[System No. 3: Thank you, teacher.]

[Teacher]: System No. 5’s young ghost host is too rowdy. Grade: SS

Teacher’s advice: Stop letting him take off his head and play kickball with it.

[System No.5: Understood! Thank you for your hard work!]

[Teacher]: System No. 6’s young snake host from the Snake clan is still an egg. I don’t recommend sending him to class yet, so he will not receive a grade.

[System No. 6: What’s wrong with you? Stop discriminating against snakes! If you don’t, then I will go to the system’s education institution to file a complaint against you! What’s wrong with being an egg? Do you despise them?!]

[System No. 6 has been removed from the study group.]

Finally, it is System No. 1’s turn. The system is relaxed as it excitedly waited for the teacher to praise Yeya, but–

[Teacher]: System No. 1, please look at your host’s homework. (Picture)]

[System No. 3: Hahahaha.]

[System No. 5: HAHAHAHAHAHA.]

[System No. 1: …]

When the teacher sent a picture of Yeya’s homework, the group burst into a rowdy atmosphere.

Although the systems lack a physical body, System No. 1 wished it could find a hole in the ground and jump in it.

[The teacher tried to soothe things over: Is this your first time working with a young host?]

The system let out a faint mhm.

[Teacher: I heard that it takes the kids from the Flower and Plants Clan 300 years for them to transform. Logically speaking, Yeya is still a baby, so being able to memorize 100 numbers is already good enough. When she goes back, I hope you will teach her math earnestly. If her math persists to be like this, then I can only ask her to drop out.]

The teacher was quite blunt and even though the system wasn’t happy about it, it still acted humbly towards the teacher.

Yeya didn’t know that uncle system was criticized by her teacher. She sat on a small chair on the balcony facing the sun, humming while munching on an apple.

The door to her room was suddenly opened and Ye Qinghe walked in.

Ye Qinghe was shocked when he saw Yeya sitting on the balcony. He rushed forward and carried her away from the balcony.

“Yeya, you shouldn’t get so close to the balcony.”

“But I want to bask in the sunlight.”

Her small face was flushing red from a slight sunburn. The corners of her mouth were stained with apple juice, causing her appearance to look somewhat dirty.

Ye Qinghe pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of her mouth gently, “Don’t you feel hot?

“I don’t.” Yeya shook her head, “I want the little seed to sprout and grow quickly~”

It wasn’t uncommon for Yeya to spout nonsense, so Ye Qinghe didn’t question it. He merely wiped her face clean and placed her back on the bed.

“The nanny will bring some food for Yeya. But Yeya can’t leave this room for now, okay?”

Ye Ziyu suffers from mania. He is screaming and wrecking his room; his current mental state is extremely unstable. Ye Qinghe was afraid that Yeya would accidentally irritate his younger brother, so he could only ask her to stay in the room for today. After his younger brother is feeling more stable, he wants them to slowly interact with one another.

He felt bad for confining Yeya to the room, but it is better than being hurt by his younger brother.

After Yeya ate her lunch, she played alone with her new toys in the room.

She hds completed today’s task a while ago so she didn’t have anything important planned.

[Yeya, why don’t we continue learning math?]

Yeya’s small hand held a piece of a puzzle she was currently playing with. She pursed her mouth and said, “Yeya doesn’t want to learn math.”

[Why not?]

“It’s not fun.” She continued, “I don’t want to learn to count. I want the little seed on my head to grow quickly.]

The system coaxed her; [Yeya is a good child. Why don’t we just work on a few questions?]

She sighed before reluctantly sitting down on a small stool to solve the questions.

The system earnestly started teaching her simple mathematics for young children. Yeya is a smart kid.

1 + 1 = 2

1 + 2 = 3

Her answers were all correct. But once she reached the bottom of the worksheet, Yeya’s answer began to drift towards a strange logic.

[Ya’er, 5 + 5 doesn’t equal 55. How many fingers do you have if you add five of your fingers to another five of your fingers?]

Yeya put down her pen and stretched out her two small hands.

“It’s equal to…”

[How much does it equal to?]

Yeya looked at her left hand and then at her right hand. She spread out her ten little fingers and started counting from left to right and then from right to left. After a solid minute of counting, she clenched her fists tight and answered confidently, “55!”

System: [%#￥%%……#@%……%]

——I want to f**king right now!!!

——I don’t want to be a system anymore!!!
