Chapter 89: Truly A Straight-A Student And The G.o.ddess Of Studying

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yanxi raised his brow with a look of surprise when he heard the host.

Although Huo Yanxi was aware of his foster sister’s good grades, ranking 6th in the country during the National Quiz Contest’s preliminary test went beyond being ‘good’.

She was truly a straight-A student and the G.o.ddess of studying.

Lu Xia remained calm and modest as she answered the host’s questions unhurriedly. “The preliminary test results mean nothing. I will continue to do my best and perform well for the final quiz so as not to disappoint any of you.”

The host beamed widely as she changed the subject and started interviewing the other members of the group.

Huo Yanxi stopped watching the interview. Instead, he fished out his phone and texted Lu Xia on WeChat.

[Congratulations on coming 6th in the country.]

Lu Xia happened to have her phone with her at the time.

When she saw Huo Yanxi’s text, she thought for a few seconds before she replied: [Thanks, Brother Yanxi. Cute face emoticon. How did you get to know about my result?]

Huo Yanxi smiled and replied: [I just saw you on a variety show.]

Lu Xia’s fingers paused, then she wrote: [Haha, does Brother Yanxi watch dumb shows like these? I thought you checked it on the official website for the quiz.]

Huo Yanxi could not help asking in surprise: [Does your quiz have an official website?]

Lu Xia narrowed her eyes and replied: [Of course. If you want to check on a student, you need to enter his or her candidate number, or else it’s simply too much trouble to scroll through the entire ranking list. After all, there are so many middle school students in the country who partic.i.p.ated.]

Huo Yanxi wrote: [That’s true. When’s the next round? Don’t forget to tell me about your scores.]

Lu Xia sent another cute emoticon over and wrote: [Sure thing. The next round happens next week. I’ll text you when my scores are out.]

Huo Yanxi replied: [Good luck!]

Song Ning yelled that lunch was ready, so Huo Yanxi stopped chatting with Lu Xia and put his phone away. When he stood up, he glanced at Huo Yao shutting her book calmly.

The cover page of the book was entirely in English without a single Chinese annotation. It looked like serious reading.

Huo Yanxi was startled. Despite his relatively good command of English, he was incapable of figuring out the subject of the book at a glance.

His younger sister was able to look so engrossed reading this English book. She had been undistracted even when he turned on the television.

She was simply too pretentious.

If Huo Yao was reading a normal English textbook, he would have thought nothing of it, but...

Fine, she sure was very good at acting studious.

Huo Yanxi shook his head speechlessly and headed to the study to tell his father that dinner was ready.

At the dining table, Song Ning ignored her firstborn son and kept placing food in her daughter’s bowl.

“Yaoyao, eat more. You’ve been reading so much that you’ve lost weight,” said Song Ning heartbrokenly.

The other kids hung out with their friends over the weekends, but their daughter just kept studying. If this went on, Huo Yao would genuinely become a nerd.

When Huo Yanxi heard Song Ning saying that Huo Yao had been studying hard, he cast a weird look at her.

Everyone read books that were related to their middle school studies. But what was his little sister reading?

He could not bring himself to appreciate his mother for this unconditional indulgence of her daughter.
