Chapter 1366: A Family of Top Students

~8 min read 1,408 words

Although Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were worried about nursing a viper in their bosom.

Shi Ran's attitude was very firm; she insisted on adopting Shi Yuan. Shi Youxuan knew exactly what her daughter was like, and she and her husband could not change their daughter's mind.

They could only pin their hopes on their son-in-law, hoping he would oppose it.

But Yun Qitian completely deferred to his wife's stance.

Not only did he not oppose it, he instead turned to persuade his father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying that what Shi Ran was doing was righteous and affectionate, and as family, they should support her!

Support my foot.

Since they couldn't get through to the young couple, the husband and wife discussed it and decided to open a breach from the in-laws.

Actually, it didn't count as opening a breach; it could only be considered giving advance notice.

This kind of thing couldn't be hidden; they would know sooner or later, and knowing sooner was better than knowing later!

Yun Zehao and his wife did not oppose it.

They felt it didn't matter; having an extra child was also fine. Children grow up to be like whoever raises them from a young age, so the issue of blood relations wasn't a big deal.

Ma Ling'er was a doctor and had authority in this regard.

Since the parents-in-law didn't say anything, even if Sheng Hanyu and his wife opposed it, they could only voice their opposition a couple of times.

Dinner.

The weekend was the liveliest time for the Sheng Family. The two little children were asleep and being looked after by a nanny, so there was no need to worry about them; everyone gathered around the table eating and chatting.

The Sheng Family didn't have as many rules as typical wealthy families; the idea of "not talking while eating" didn't exist in the Sheng Family!

"Sister, help us design some more study plans, please, mwah, love you!" Zichen pouted at his sister, acting cute.

Shi Ran was puzzled: "Is my plan not good?"

"It's not that it's not good, but although the plan is great, some classmates feel it's very strenuous to study," Zichen said.

Shi Ran was a top student, a super top student at that.

Although the methods of a top student were very useful, not all classmates could use them!

Some people would achieve twice the result with half the effort using her methods, but for some classmates, while they could use them, it was quite strenuous.

Shi Ran was just about to agree when her father reprimanded his son with great displeasure: "Don't count on your sister for everything. Your sister is very busy every day; she has to work and take care of children. Why should she formulate study plans for your entire class every day?"

Zichen stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to make a sound. He had been afraid of his father since he was a child and had a natural sense of awe toward him.

He had originally thought his father would just scold him and be done with it.

But he didn't expect his father to change the subject and suddenly say: "Our family isn't the only one with a top student; I can handle a small matter like formulating a study plan too."

Uh...

What was going on?

Zichen was stunned.

In fact, it wasn't just him who was stunned; everyone hadn't quite reacted yet.

What kind of person was his father? Outsiders knew, but family members knew even better.

His consistent principle was to grasp the big and let go of the small, focusing only on the key points.

Given Sheng Hanyu's status and position, the key points he would set his eyes on were projects worth hundreds of millions!

Usually, things like educating children were all done by his wife, Shi Youxuan, let alone formulating some study plan.

He would do it himself for his own children, but for other people's children... he had never done it.

Now that he had volunteered, it was indeed surprising!

Sheng Zichen wouldn't miss any opportunity, especially such a rare one!

He hurriedly said: "Dad, you can't fool people; a real man must keep his word."

Sheng Hanyu's expression paused, and he frowned with dissatisfaction: "When have I ever not kept my word?"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

"My dad has always been as good as his word and trustworthy. Dad, can you guarantee that our class will all get into Tsinghua or Peking University?" Zichen pushed his luck.

Litian chimed in: "I don't need to get into Tsinghua or Peking University; I'll be satisfied if I can get into Jiangzhou Physical Education University."

Physical Education University had always been his dream, but saying it under these circumstances was a bit of a drag on his brother; the difficulty couldn't be compared to those two schools.

No problem, his father agreed immediately.

Yun Qitian said: "I can also help formulate some study plans for those with mediocre aptitude. I've done this for classmates before. I'm very familiar with poor students, and I can consult on study methods for those with a weak foundation."

Zichen beamed: "Great, great, the more the merrier."

Zihan also joined in the fun: "Big brother, I can do it too. I can also help your Class Twelve. My study methods are very useful. Give me the data for all the students in your class, and I'll formulate them for you."

When others said this, it was touching, but when it came out of his mouth, he was mocked by the group.

"Oh, give it a rest. What study methods do you have?" The first one to stand up and expose his true colors was his mother.

"Of all you children, you are the one who gives me the biggest headache!"

"Every time I go to your parent-teacher conference, the teacher tells me that your Zihan sleeps in class, or talks to little girls, disturbing others' studies."

Zihan was unconvinced: "But I get first place in every exam."

His mother bluntly exposed him: "That's right, you get first place, but your getting first place has nothing to do with your hard work. It's all thanks to the good genes of your father and me. You're borrowing our light, understand?"

"Hmph! Forget it then."

The usually glib Zihan was left speechless by his mother; there was no way around it, everything Mom said was right.

A meal began in a lively manner and ended in a lively manner.

Monday.

The students went to school.

Class Twelve was still the first class in the whole school to arrive, and Zichen was the first to arrive.

He placed the new, refined and improved study plans on everyone's seat according to their names.

Only after finishing this did he return to his seat and take out his review materials.

At this moment, a box of seaweed rolls suddenly appeared in front of him; he looked up and saw it was Lu Feifei!

What is going on?

Did she give it to the wrong person?

Lu Feifei blushed and whispered, "Don't look at me with that expression, it's not wrong, it's for you." After saying this, Lu Feifei left.

Confirming it wasn't a mistake, Zichen took a look—it was poorly made.

Seaweed rolls should be firm but not tight, loose but not falling apart; these looked too tightly packed in some places and too loose in others, which would affect the texture.

Furthermore, there were too many fillings, masking the original aroma of the rice and overshadowing the main ingredient.

And there was no wasabi, nor any soy sauce for seasoning; poor review.

Zichen's pickiness regarding food was far greater than his requirements for academic performance.

He decided not to eat it.

Although he had left too early in the morning and hadn't eaten breakfast, he would rather go hungry than eat something that didn't taste good.

"Litian!"

Litian had come out with him in the morning, so naturally, he hadn't eaten breakfast either.

"Brother, what is it?"

"Here, you take this box of seaweed rolls and eat it." Litian was not picky about food; he accepted it, naturally without thinking about it on a deeper level.

"Really? Is that okay?"

Litian was pleasantly surprised; he really wanted it, but hesitated to take it.

This was given to his brother by Lu Feifei, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to eat it.
