“Why are my points deducted? My answer is correct!”

Ye Qingqiu pointed at the last question that had half of Li Tingshen’s score deducted and frowned unhappily.

Li Tingshen flipped the paper and scored 89 marks.

“Li Tingshen, I should score 95 points.”

“There’s no process. Leaving four points for you is already letting you off easy.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “The process isn’t important. The final outcome will be fine.”

Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently. “Perhaps you can go and judge with the teacher who gave you the score. They will return the score to you.”

Seeing that Li Tingshen’s expression wasn’t too good, Ye Qingqiu didn’t insist. “At most, I’ll write it.”

Li Tingshen stood up and threw the paper to her. “Repeat the process ten times. If you can’t finish it, you won’t have lunch.”

“Li Tingshen…”

“Trying to double the price.”

Ye Qingqiu glared at him. “Who’s bargaining? I just want to say that I’m thirsty!”

Li Tingshen left the room.

She went downstairs to the dining room and took out a bottle of juice. She poured it into a gla.s.s and instructed the servant to bring it upstairs.

Then, she walked to the kitchen door and said calmly, “Let’s have lunch in half an hour.”

The busy servants paused before saying, “Young Master, the food is almost ready. Madam is at home today…”

“Then let her eat first.”

“I’m not very hungry now. It doesn’t matter if I wait.”

Just as Li Tingshen finished speaking, Lian Lili’s nonchalant voice sounded from behind.

“But I’m fine. Don’t I have a guest at home? Let her starve, alright?”

“It’s all because of her.”

Lian Lili’s eyebrows twitched. “So it’s because of her that I have to go hungry for the time being? Then I have to remember her. She came to my house with her arrogant personality.”

Li Tingshen frowned slightly. “I didn’t ask you to wait for her.”

Seeing Li Tingshen brush past her, Lian Lili suddenly asked, “Are you worried that I have a prejudice against her?”

Li Tingshen paused. “No.”

Lian tidied up her shawl and turned to walk out. “I thought that it would be easier for Xu’er to blend in with a child of her age when she arrives at the Ye family. But it seems like I’ve thought too highly of her. That child suddenly skipped a grade and the distance between us has widened. Xu’er must be feeling very upset.”

“She’s a member of the Ye family. What she wants is the Ye family’s business. It’s her own business. In any case, it’s not something you should worry about now.”

Lian Lili sat on the sofa and adjusted her clothes. After a while, she said perfunctorily, “That’s true.”

Li Tingshen looked at her quietly for two seconds. “Remember to eat lunch on time. Don’t wait for us.”

With that, he went upstairs.

Ye Qingqiu was holding a cup of juice and writing perfunctorily.

Seeing that he didn’t look good, she put down her cup. “Are you throwing a tantrum because you’re hungry? Actually, you can punish me after dinner. Think about it? Eat with me first?”

Li Tingshen glanced at her coldly.

Ye Qingqiu smiled and handed the remaining juice to him. “You can drink this first to fill your stomach. Give me ten minutes and I’ll eat with you immediately.”

She stuffed the juice into his hand and walked to the desk. “You didn’t let me eat on purpose. You’re too embarra.s.sed to eat alone. Although you’re torturing me, you’re actually torturing yourself.”

“Do you want me to serve lunch to you?”

Ye Qingqiu pouted in disdain. “There’s a smell in the bedroom!”

“You ate less?”

“Can snacks be the same as food?”

Li Tingshen couldn’t be bothered with her. He glanced at the fruit juice in his hand and placed it beside her. “Finish it.”

Ye Qingqiu took it and said to him, “Didn’t I ask you to drink it?”

Li Tingshen watched as she finished the juice in a few gulps and started writing again.

Pursing his lips, he sat by the bed and continued reading. However, in less than ten minutes, Ye Qingqiu heaved a long sigh and stood up.

“It’s done!”

Li Tingshen turned to look at her. The suspicion in his eyes made Ye Qingqiu pout. “What’s with that look? I used all my strength to prevent you from going hungry, okay?”

She walked over to look at Ye Qingqiu’s notebook. She had written it ten times and it was pa.s.sable.

“Let’s eat.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips in response to his coldness and followed behind him.

When she went downstairs, she did not see Lian Lili. The servant said that she had already eaten. However, Lian Lili’s appet.i.te had always been light. She had always been like this since she was young. There was no harm to her body. She was healthy.

The food was rich and nutritious.

This was not the first time she had come here for lunch. Ye Qingqiu was already used to it.

“School is starting tomorrow. Should we go out for a date this afternoon?”

Li Tingshen glanced at her calmly. “If you don’t want to learn, go home early after dinner.”

“No fun.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and looked at her coldly.

She quickly took a sip of the soup.

She avoided his gaze.

“I have an exam in the afternoon.”

As expected, on the last day, the two of them locked themselves in their room to do something related to studying.

In fact, in the process of tutoring her, Li Tingshen had given her some second-year knowledge. Hence, not only did she not find the lessons tiring, she even felt relaxed.

Li Tingshen had a tight schedule in high school.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard of how terrifying the local college entrance examination was. Although Ye Qingqiu wanted to spend more time with him, Li Tingshen obviously didn’t intend to spend that much time with her.

Even on weekends, there wasn’t much time.

At most, Ye Qingqiu would shamelessly come to his house to study with him.

However, other than studying, they rarely talked about anything else.

Ye Qingqiu had never been someone who would restrain herself.

Only Li Tingshen restrained himself.

Not only her, but even the people around her found it unbelievable.

The daughter of the Ye family, who had always done whatever she wanted and rarely cared about others’ feelings, would actually make concessions for others.

However, Ye Jianyun, who had always doted on Ye Qingqiu, didn’t look too good every time he saw his precious daughter’s bored expression.

He had asked her to go out to relax more than once, but she didn’t seem interested.

Every day, she would either be hugging her phone or sitting on the sofa staring at the television. She was bored.

However, she seemed a little energetic during the weekend.

He naturally knew why.

However, seeing that the semester was about to end, she didn’t see her precious daughter doing anything during the weekend.

He had deliberately talked to her before. The little girl looked bored and helpless.

“Is it really that difficult to get into a university? Even Li Tingshen has to work so hard? He’s so smart, it should be easy for him to get into a university, right? But he doesn’t seem to have much free time.”

The mention of that child made Ye Jianyun ponder.

“Daddy, even if he doesn’t work so hard, he can still get into university, right? At most, I’ll let him…”

Before Ye Qingqiu could finish speaking, she shook her head in denial.

“Forget it, he’s not willing to accept such an arrangement.”

Ye Jianyun patted her head. “Yes. Moreover, he should work harder than others.”

That way, he could entrust his precious daughter and the company’s future to him.

“Yes…” Ye Qingqiu hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees. She didn’t seem to have much of a reaction to Ye Jianyun’s words.

“I hate high school.”

Ye Jianyun smiled. “Let’s go shopping in the afternoon. I’ll get someone to accompany you.”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “I don’t really want to go out.”

Not long after she finished speaking, Liang Xuer came downstairs in a sweater. She was carrying a school bag and the expression on her face had been restrained. In fact, Ye Qingqiu rarely saw any unnecessary expressions on her face.

She had a cold and aloof att.i.tude.

After living in the Ye family for half a year, she was familiar with most of the aspects. Be it her dressing or her actions, she looked like a rich young lady.

However, no matter how familiar she was with the Ye family, her relations.h.i.+p with Ye Qingqiu remained lukewarm.

Seeing Ye Jianyun and Ye Qingqiu in the living room, Liang Xuer seemed to pause for a moment. She greeted Ye Jianyun and said that she was going to the library to study.

Ye Jianyun had never restrained Liang Xuer. Other than his deeper father-daughter relations.h.i.+p with Qingqiu, he had also tried his best to treat Liang Xuer like Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu had nothing to say to Liang Xuer. She glanced at her before retracting her gaze.

Liang Xuer had been putting on airs as the young lady of the Ye family recently. At the very least, she was quite good at dressing up.

He only knew that she had been dressed more meticulously recently.

However, perhaps people were born to be at odds with each other. Even though they were the same age, the two people who were the easiest to be sisters seemed to hate each other.

After Liang Xuer left, Ye Qingqiu sat on the sofa for a while before going upstairs. She had not finished her homework for the entire day.

Later on, someone specially moved a desk into her bedroom. The arrangement was similar to the other decorations in Li Tingshen’s bedroom.

In the span of a semester, because of the decreasing number of meetings with Li Tingshen, her mood was affected and her studies naturally fell.

After lying on the table for a long time, she picked up a question and called Li Tingshen out of habit.

She had done this too many times, so when Li Tingshen answered her call, his tone was obviously impatient.

“Ye Qingqiu.”

“Yes?”

“Are you sure you want to ask me again and again?”

“I’m sure. It’s not like you can’t tell what I mean…”

“…”

Seeing that he didn’t look well, Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes and said, “Actually, I really can’t undo it… It’s been very tiring recently. Teacher Li, I need you.”

“I’m not free. If you have any questions, you can ask your cla.s.smates or teachers.”

“Li Tingshen, you should know very well that I don’t want to ask them.”

“Ye Qingqiu.” Li Tingshen’s voice was inexplicably cold. “Whether you want to or not is your business. I’ve said before that I don’t have time to play with you.”

Li Tingshen’s att.i.tude made Ye Qingqiu a little angry. Two seconds later, she suppressed her anger.

“Are you really busy?”

“I don’t have that much time to joke with you.”

“… Oh.”

Ye Qingqiu paused for a while before replying in disappointment, “Okay, then you can go ahead.”

Li Tingshen paused for a while and his tone seemed to have improved a little. “…Yes.” After a few seconds, the call was hung up.
