The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!

Tong Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry as he whispered to Xu Xinduo, “Don’t worry, I won’t be too bad even if I take the exam alone.”

In fact, Tong Yan was often unwilling to fight, unwilling to compare, or even perform in public.

He has everything and he didn’t lack anything— he didn’t even need praise from others. His degree of self-motivation wasn’t all that great either, and he was considered somewhat of a lazy worm.

It was Xu Xinduo who liked to take examinations and competitions. She lived in the countryside, so she was eager to do something to prove herself of her worth.

Xu Xinduo used Tong Yan’s body to learn. There, she felt that examinations were an important form of testing to grade her learning achievements. Hence, she will also use Tong Yan’s body to take exams.

She also used Tong Yan’s body to practice the piano and to participate in competitions.

This was what Xu Xinduo enjoyed.

Because Xu Xinduo liked to do these things, Tong Yan fell into a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger(1). Everyone thinks that he was the one who was excellent in the aspects of character and learning, which was actually not what he truly wanted.

(T/N: To ride on a tiger is improbable, so it’s a saying that depicts something being insanely difficult)

But Xu Xinduo liked it, so he never said anything. She could do as she preferred.

When Xu Xinduo came here, she was worried that Tong Yan’s grades would suddenly become poor and it would affect him. Because of this, she was nervously trying to catch up to Tong Yan’s academic performance.

Tong Yan also understood, so he tried his best to comfort Xu Xinduo. At the same time, he was studying hard as well, but he was afraid that Xu Xinduo would feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, his efforts were done all for her sake.

After taking a subject, Xu Xinduo will ask Tong Yan to write down the answers before giving a score.

After Xu Xinduo finished writing the numbers, he started to calculate and mumbled softly, “The results should not be too bad, but it would be difficult to get into the top ten.”

Tong Yan shrugged indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter, my mother understands it anyway, and other people can think whatever they like.”

After Xu Xinduo exhaled, she took her bag out of the classroom and said, “I’m going back to the self-study class first.”

“Leave it. The International Class will be on a break in the afternoon so I have the key to the classroom. It would be much quieter than self-studying in the Rocket Class.”

“No!” Xu Xinduo immediately refused. Wouldn’t that mean that the two of them would be alone?

Tong Yan spoke, voice latched with sadness, “I have to take the test in the ordinary class. You can just teach me for a day.”

Xu Xinduo stood at the door, thinking about it for a long time with the bag in her hands before she finally sat down with a sigh.

The other students had packed their things and got ready to leave after the exam. Only the two of them took out their books from the ordinary classes and began to review the materials.

The examination for the international class lasted for one and a half days. After the last exam the next morning, the school break would commence and last until the winter camp.

The classroom was gradually emptying itself, leaving only the two of them.

Xu Xinduo took her notebook from the ordinary class and opened it to Tong Yan. After thinking about it, she said, “First, please memorize the ancient poems for me.”

Tong Yan accepted his fate and could only recite the text to her.
