Chapter 259: Class

【Not bad!】

【Then I'll go over and find Uncle!】

Su Yu ran over to find Su Xi, while Su Yi stayed in the office working hard.

He was truly a bit too useless—the one supporting the family was always his eldest brother!

"Uncle, Uncle, I want these!"

Su Xi ignored the drawings in Su Yu's pile of papers and focused on reading the words on them.

Li Taishan sneaked a few glances; Little General Manager Su's handwriting was quite good, with no typos either—truly impressive!

It was just those drawings—he had no idea what they were supposed to be.

Li Taishan was itching to lean in and get a clear look!

"Sure, but you must finish your homework before playing."

Su Yu tilted her head. "I don't have homework!"

【Is Uncle going to assign me homework?】

"Huo Huo and Can Can have winter break homework. You're not allowed to do it for them!"

Su Yu hung her head. "Why? I'm teaching Huo Huo and Can Can, not cheating."

【Finish it early, play early—it's not that hard, they're really smart!】

Su Xi: Guess whether I believe that or not?

Last time Su Xi even caught Su Yu secretly imitating Su Yi's handwriting, looking quite convincing—who knew what she was plotting. Scamming her own younger brother he didn't mind, but scamming other people's kids was not allowed.

"Go back and find your dad!"

"Okay!"

Su Yu hugged the results of her hard morning's work and trotted back to the office with a patter of footsteps. "Dad, Uncle agreed! I want these things, let's go eat!"

The first thing Su Yi saw was the drawing held up to him. He said tactfully, "How about, besides dance class, we also add a painting class?"

"I don't want to! I'm hungry!"

【Only a fool would want more classes—beginner classes leading into advanced classes, an endless chain of classes!】

Su Yu ran out; Su Xi was already waiting at the door.

"Where's your dad?"

Su Yu pointed at her own office. "There!"

【Not being enthusiastic about meals means there's something wrong with your thinking!】

Su Yi, who only came out after putting away the documents: This life is impossible to live!

……

After Liang Yan and Tang Can went on winter break, Su Yi's days got even harder. Once he no longer needed to help his older brother record Su Yu's inner thoughts, his workload shot straight up. His work content started from the grassroots level. His identity as the CEO's precious younger brother could only spare him from drinking banquets and social engagements—the actual work he had to do was not reduced one bit.

Every day was packed full for eight hours, with very substantial work content. Every day after getting home, he was so exhausted he wanted to just crash and sleep.

His only weekends were all spent on the cozy life of clinging to his wife and watching their daughter!

He even felt a little envious watching Su Yu's daily life.

Not having to work was truly blissful!

Su Yu, who didn't have to work, was living quite comfortably!

At Liang Yan and Tang Can's insistence, the two of them really moved into the Su Family home to stay.

In the mornings, Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can got up and ate breakfast together. After breakfast, Liang Yan and Tang Can did their winter break homework, Su Yu joined in to do it together, and after finishing they graded each other's work, with the three of them explaining things to one another.

When the dance teacher and martial arts teacher arrived, the three of them would change clothes and practice in the gym with their little wooden swords.

Xu Mingyue, learning of her precious granddaughter's preferences, even had someone custom-make a batch of bows, arrows, and slingshots tailored to the three children's arm strength, enough to last them at least until age ten.

Therefore, besides learning sword dance, they also had to learn archery and how to use slingshots. The hospital room where Su Yi had previously stayed was converted into a dance and martial arts practice space exclusively for the three children, complete with targets of various sizes.

After class came lunch. In the afternoons, Liang Yan and Tang Can attended tutoring classes, while Su Yu followed Ji Yan, helping her film videos and livestream, and learning to play instruments.

Once, after Su Yu accidentally appeared on camera, the bullet comments and follower count surged wildly.

Ji Yan asked for Su Yu's opinion, then livestreamed teaching Su Yu to learn instruments.

Su Yu had excellent memory—she learned as soon as she was taught, perfectly replicating Ji Yan's technique. But the entire piece was nothing but technique upon technique, devoid of emotion. To laypeople it sounded decent, but Ji Yan thought it was quite mediocre.

Some people thought Su Yu had learned beforehand and was deliberately showing off her skills during the livestream to craft a persona. But others thought Su Yu was exceptionally gifted.

Ji Yan, however, didn't want her daughter wasting time on something she wasn't naturally good at. She also understood Su Xi's intentions, so she proactively suggested they go study together.

"Sweetheart, how about we go study together with Huo Huo and Can Can?"

【Wulongcha, do I sound bad when I play?】

Last time she sang, everyone said it sounded bad. Could it be that the pieces she played also sounded bad? That shouldn't be—she thought they were quite good!

【Host, I went and listened online. The difference between the pieces online and the pieces you play is like the difference between a normal person's 'haha~' and a mechanical voice's 'ha, ha, ha.' Not wrong, not abnormal, but perhaps a bit torturous for your mother's ears.】

Ji Yan made her living in this field, so her standards were naturally a bit higher.

【Alright then, Mom's love for me is real, to be able to tolerate me this long. I should have noticed Mom's reaction sooner!】

Before this, Su Yu had tried every instrument. She figured she could play them all, but they probably didn't sound good when she played—otherwise Mom wouldn't have suggested she go study.

"Mom's coming too?"

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

【As long as I'm with Mom, it's fine.】

Su Yu and Ji Yan went over, listened for half an hour, and then started dozing off.

Before the teacher arrived, they had been instructed not to mind Su Yu—let her do as she pleased—so the teacher calmly continued lecturing.

After class and after dinner, it was time for the three children to make ice lanterns.

After the three of them worked hard, the house already had ice lanterns shaped like the moon, stars, sun, Earth, Mars, flowers, etc.

These ice lanterns were all made by the three of them following the adults' guide, bit by bit.

"Xiao Yu, why aren't you listening in class? The teacher's lecture is so fun!"

Liang Yan also quite liked this teacher; her way of speaking was much more fun than the school teachers'. However, Xiao Yu spent the whole afternoon either dozing off or folding paper, and never really paid attention.

Liang Yan knew it wouldn't be good to ask in front of the teacher, so she deliberately waited until evening to ask.

Tang Can also tilted her head curiously, "Is Ruanhuohuo not sleeping well?"

They took a nap this afternoon, right? Could it be that Ruanhuohuo didn't sleep? Tang Can remembered Aunt saying that Ruanhuohuo's mother works from home. Could Ruanhuohuo be not sleeping because she's helping her mother work?

"No, I'm just bored! I like listening once, but hearing it several times gets annoying!"

【If Mom weren't by my side, I'd have run away!】

For the content that Liang Yan and Tang Can have studied, Su Yu doesn't need a teacher; she can understand just by reading. To her, the teacher's lectures are more like noise.

Tang Can nodded, "Indeed, she just loves to spout nonsense. She thinks she's humorous, but actually, her long-windedness only hinders my learning speed!"

Liang Yan, who found it interesting: ……I don't fit in with my little companions!

Ji Yan, standing nearby, also felt helpless. The three kids aren't at the same learning pace; if Su Yu were to study separately from them, she wouldn't agree.

Unwilling to give up, she took the opportunity while they were discussing and asked again, "Should we get you a teacher with a faster teaching pace?"

Thanks for the votes, cuties~

The monthly ticket expires tomorrow; if you have a monthly ticket, cuties, can you cast one for me?
