Su Qiuge’s footsteps paused and she looked at the girl holding the scooter.

Aunt Liu’s....daughter?

Then she’s Xie Xinglin’s younger [female] cousin?

She, unexpectedly, rarely heard Aunt Liu mention her.

Su Qiuge didn’t ask much more and simply said, “I see, then I’ll leave first.”

She also called out to Pei An’an, “Goodbye, little sister.”historical

After Su Qiuge left, Pei An’an’s expression became increasingly more nervous. She attempted to pull Xie Xinglin’s sleeve, “Big Brother....”

Xie Xinglin had a flat expression on his face as he lowered his eyes and indifferently said to her, “The doctor said you couldn’t exercise too strenuously, have you forgotten all that?”

Pei An’an bit her lip and pointed to the band-aid on her knee, “It’s okay, Big Brother. I was injured just now and Hello Kitty gave me this. She said this can cure my illness.”

Xie Xinglin’s gaze fell on the band-aid on Pei An’an’s knee, the pattern was the same as the one Su Qiuge had on her hand before.

It was pink with a Hello Kitty printed on it.

He immediately understood who Pei An’an was referring to as “Hello Kitty.”

Then, he slightly bent the corners of his lips before he raised his eyebrows and said to Pei An’an, “You believe that just because she said so? Maybe she knows less than you.”

Pei An’an pursed her lips. She thought for a while before she sighed in disappointment, “I also thought she didn’t look very smart.”

Xie Xinglin easily took the scooter from her hands and lowered his eyes to say to Pei An’an, “I’ll send you back this time. If you still refuse to cooperate with the doctor, do you know what the consequences will be?”

His tone was light, but it carried a hint of deterrence. Pei An’an trembled and nodded in response.

After a moment of hesitation, Pei An’an asked softly, “Then Big Brother, the next time you come to visit me in the hospital, can you also bring her?”

Xie Xinglin’s eyelashes moved slightly, “Why?”

He unhurriedly added, “It looks like you like her quite a bit?”

Pei An’an recalled the recent scene where the girl had knelt down and helped wipe her face. The root of her ears reddened again, and she turned away, “So-so, just so-so.”

Under Xie Xinglin’s rather deep gaze, she bit her lips and continued, “Although Kitty isn’t very smart, she should be a pretty good kid.”

Recently, Yang Xue had been in more frequent contact with Su Qiuge.

Su Qiuge guessed that it was probably due to the upcoming section exam.

Yang Xue still didn’t know the result of Su Qiuge’s monthly exam. She never asked and Su Qiuge also never took the initiative to tell her, so in Yang Xue’s mind, her impression of Su Qiuge’s ranking was still in the 600-something because that was where she placed after the first section exam.

When Su Qiuge returned home, she received a WeChat message from Yang Xue.

Yang Xue: Is the section exam happening soon?

Qiuqiu Wants to Get Rich Quick: Mm.

Yang Xue: I found you a private tutor for make-up lessons, so score better this time.

Su Qiuge stared at the screen for a long time with lowered eyes.

Qiuqiu Wants to Get Rich Quick: No need.

Qiuqiu Wants to Get Rich Quick: I’ll review on my own.

Yang Xue: I already paid the cost. The tutors from that organization are very good, I hope you can make some improvements this time.

Yang Xue: Let’s end it here, I have a meeting soon.

Su Qiuge stared at the phone screen for a while, then she threw the phone onto the sofa.

Although she wasn’t very happy that Yang Xue enrolled her in a cram school without consulting her, it was still nice to be tutored by another person.

She originally thought that it would be some time before the tutoring happened, but unexpectedly, she received a call from the organization that evening.

The teacher asked her for a convenient time.

Su Qiuge and him decided on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends.

That day happened to be Monday, so the teacher came.
