"Is this a D?"

"It is a D."

"Why do I think it's an A?"

"It looks like an A, but it's actually a D. You have to feel it, you can't just rely on your eyes."

In the narrow room, Zhai Da frowns and reaches out a hand.

On the test paper, he still writes a D for the multiple-choice question.

"Wrong, it's useless just like this. I have to understand it. Explain it to me again."

Lu Wei takes the water pen from Zhai Da's hand and leans forward, patiently explaining to Zhai Da.

Her voice is very soft, but the two are too close. Originally, they were sitting with their knees touching, and when she leans forward, their shoulders are pressed together.

Look, this is the benefit of having no money. If they lived in a large flat, how could a tutor teach so closely?

"Knock, knock."

The door is knocked, and Zhai Da immediately pulls away again. Yu Xiaoli walks in with an enamel tray.

"Studying is so tiring, eat some fruit."

Zhai Da immediately leans back tactically, ending the brief physical contact.

Yu Xiaoli's eyes are like an active phased array radar, but she doesn't say anything, puts down the cut plate, and leaves.

Zhai Da breathes a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether he is reborn or not, he has never lived under the same roof with Yu Xiaoli + a female.

In front of his mother, he always instinctively wants to avoid suspicion.

After Yu Xiaoli leaves, Zhai Da looks at Lu Wei: "Why didn't you lean back just now?"

Only I am dodging and hiding, doesn't that make me look like a little C-boy!

Lu Wei blinks: "Why lean back?"

"Just do as I say."

As soon as the words fall, the door is opened again.

"I brought the fruit but didn't give you toothpicks..."

Zhai Da turns his head helplessly: "Mom, this is the fourth time you've come in tonight. Is there something you want to say? Say it boldly."

Yu Xiaoli smiles: "What's there to say? Can't I care about you? Xiao Wei, you've worked hard. Is Zhai Da very stupid? Can you teach him?"

Lu Wei shakes her head hurriedly. In fact, Zhai Da's level is better than she imagined, which is very different from the "factory reserve" in Yu Xiaoli's mouth at the factory.

She even fantasized about becoming a fellow factory worker with Zhai Da.

"No, Teacher Yu, Zhai Da is very smart..."

After speaking, she looks at Zhai Da's gaze, thinking of the instructions just now.

Suddenly, she leans back.

"Thud!"

The back of her head hits the wall.

"Ouch..." Although her ponytail blocked it a bit, it still hurt.

The sudden, nervous move leaves both mother and son silent.

Zhai Da says seriously to Yu Xiaoli: "Look, the smartest person in this room is clearly me."

Yu Xiaoli: "That's only if I leave this room can you say that. Alright, I won't come in anymore. You two play well—I mean, study well."

After Yu Xiaoli leaves, Zhai Da presses Lu Wei's head down and checks the back of her head.

"It's nothing, no redness or swelling. You continue explaining the problem, I still don't understand."

The private tutor has been on the job for three days, and both have gradually found their state.

Except for occasionally being distracted by the narrow space, the overall progress is gratifying.

Lu Wei is indeed powerful. Even though for her, systematic learning was a year ago, her state recovered extremely quickly. The "all-rounder in science" is definitely not a false name.

Subjectively speaking, he feels that Lu Wei explains better than the school teachers.

Mainly because of patience. No matter how many times it is repeated, no matter how basic Zhai Da's questions are, she explains them seriously.

Hmm... she also smells better than the school teachers.

Until 12 o'clock, Zhai Da feels Lu Wei's head is already nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, so he puts down his pen and gently pushes the other party's shoulder.

"Go back and rest, you are also quite tired from work every day."

Lu Wei shakes her head: "The college entrance exam is not far away, you need to grasp it tighter."

She suddenly remembers something and gets up: "Wait a moment, I didn't bring the physics I learned today, I have something for you."

After a while, Lu Wei walks back and takes out a notebook from behind her back.

Plain, off-white cover, soft texture, about three yuan at the small shop.

"This is my previous math notebook... because I had to distinguish between high school math and Olympiad knowledge points, I organized it myself. Before being... kicked out, I seemed to have made a mistake and packed it in..."

A broken line appears in Zhai Da's vision. Since it was all pressed at the bottom of the box by Lu Wei, even she herself didn't realize it, so this is the first time Zhai Da has seen this notebook.

"Congratulations to the host, discovered white special item [Lu Wei's Math Notebook]: For her, high school math is as simple as breathing and drinking water."

"Current status: Not obtained, not unlocked."

"Equipment effect 1: Carrying it can slightly increase math comprehension, and there is a double bonus when studying the content of the notebook itself."

"Equipment effect 2: Focusing on the notebook itself, there is a tiny probability of [temporarily] resonating with the owner's talent, obtaining improvement (invalid for the owner)."

"Remark: Only those with 'talent' who create with heart are qualified to make their notes become 'special items'."

Lu Wei hands the notebook to Zhai Da with both hands: "I only have two or three hours when I get home every day, and I have to distribute them to the four subjects of math, physics, chemistry, and biology. This notebook might be able to help you, and you can also flip through it at school."

As Zhai Da takes it, the system information shows that he has obtained ownership of this equipment, and the ability is activated accordingly.

Zhai Da says very solemnly: "Thank you, I will use it well."

Flipping through it, the handwriting inside cannot be called beautiful, but the strokes are very cute, and the paper is very neat and clean.

Theorems, typical examples, hand-drawn geometric figures...

Even if this were not a "special item" or [Equipment], it would be enough to give Zhai Da a certain improvement.

And... seeing the system's description of this [Equipment], Zhai Da feels that "notebooks" seem to be a type of special equipment, and perhaps different notebooks have similar effects?

Only "those with talent"... can make notebooks become "special items"... Lu Wei's talent has reached a height recognized by the system.

This should be far beyond her level of 630 in mock exams..

That's right, Lu Wei's math is all 150, because the full score is 150. The score of 630 is because most of the points were lost in her weak subjects of Chinese and English.

What's even more surprising is that Lu Wei actually hides more treasures:

"Actually, I wrote three math books, and two each for physics, chemistry, and biology at the time, but unfortunately they are all at home... I should not be able to take them out."

Because of the mandatory execution, the locks have been changed and sealed.

Zhai Da has a flash of inspiration: should he find a way to get them all out?

——————

At the same time, in an internet cafe two kilometers away from Sanmao Residential Area.

Wu Yue, who is generous with "charge 300, get 300," rubs his tired eyes.

And he feels the plot behind is gradually going astray. He was here to cultivate "detective thinking" to report the red house in the back row.

Not to watch how to kill people with paperclips!

Checking his watch, it's about time to go home, using the excuse of watching discs at Zhai Da's house... but the machine time is calculated in half-hour units, and leaving now would be a huge loss of twenty minutes...

Thinking about it, Wu Yue opens the web page, preparing to browse casually.

The browser homepage of the internet cafe is directly bound to the most mainstream website "Xinglang" at the moment.

Originally, he was going to log in to 17173 mini-games to play "Beat the Kids," but he was attracted by a news item.

To be precise, a photo.

In the corner of the scrolling, a picture a few centimeters in size, accompanied by a news headline.

"This isn't the road to school..."

The footprints on the white wall, he was the one who kicked them.

He clicks in suspiciously.

"Holy crap! Isn't this Zhai Da?!"

Although there is only a back view, he won't recognize this butt wrong.

Looking at the content again...

"Small-town teenager becomes micro-fiction contest champion, another Han Han-style genius buried?"

Wu Yue wipes his eyes.

Damn! Dazi is in the news!
