Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 64 Sister, You Are Not That Smart

The schedule for the next few days is as follows.

Tomorrow, Xia Xiaomiao will go to the primary school affiliated with No. 6 Middle School to take a test, while Xia Xiaohe has nothing to do. Her father contacted her with the junior high school department of No. 9 Middle School. Compared with the high school department of No. 9 Middle School, it is much easier to get in, and you don’t even have to look at your grades.

Xia Xiaohe's grades were excellent compared to her peers in the city. The only possible gap was in spoken English... There were many top junior high school students in the city who could speak fluent English at this age. Putting this aside, Xia Xiaohe was fully capable of keeping up with the classes she was admitted to.

We will let them play here for two days. We will decide whether to let them live on campus or continue to stay here when the time comes.

Li Xu took Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao to their rooms one by one.

It can be seen that the brother and sister are very curious about everything here and are nervously familiarizing themselves with it all.

"You will stay at my house for the next two days."

"Again, you don't have to feel too indebted. I've already said that you two will be great talents when you grow up. When that happens, I'll need your help in my career."

Xia Xiaomiao naturally didn't quite understand what Li Xu said, but Xia Xiaohe was actually able to think about the meaning of these words independently.

During the whole familiarization process, Xia Xiaohe followed Li Xu somewhat stiffly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Even when Li Xu took her to visit the garden outside, she still asked her doubts.

"Is what you said true?"

"what?"

Xia Xiaohe lowered her head in thought, looking at the withered flowers in front of her. Then she raised her head and said, "Will Xiaomiao and I really be great people in the future? But... there are so many great people..."

Li Xu stared at Xia Xiaohe expressionlessly for a second or two before slowly saying, "You mean to ask why we chose you? There are so many talented people out there, why not just look for the best ones in the future?"

Xia Xiaohe blinked.

Li Xu smiled and said, "Trust."

"what?"

"Think about it for yourself."

"Oh……"

After briefly familiarizing themselves with the facilities at home, Li Xu asked several aunts to meet the siblings, and then politely arranged for Aunt Zhang to prepare some heavier dishes in the evening. If they were too busy, they could just order two dishes outside. After a walk around, Xia Xiaomiao sat upright on the sofa, watching TV seriously. Xia Xiaohe had nothing to do, so she sat next to them and watched TV with her brother.

After Li Xu settled the brother and sister here, he went out to pick up Luo Shuangshuang...it was time for make-up classes again.

When Luo Shuangshuang entered the room, she saw Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao and nodded to them casually. Li Xu came over and introduced them, which was also a greeting.

Entering the study, Luo Shuangshuang tutored Li Xu with ease. As usual, they encountered some tricky content. Li Xu frowned at some complex questions, and Luo Shuangshuang subconsciously complained: "Alas, your reaction speed is too slow... Come and watch, I will show you how to sort out this idea..."

During the lecture, someone knocked on the door. Li Xu turned around and called out, "Come in." Xia Xiaohe came in with a plate of fruit. She placed the plate on the table shyly and said, "Aunt Zhang is preparing dinner and is a little overwhelmed, so I helped bring it in..."

"Okay, put it here..."

Li Xu responded casually and continued to accept Luo Shuangshuang's teachings. It must be said that although Luo Shuangshuang's words were a bit sharp, the tutoring during this period had allowed her to gradually find methods and tricks, and she became more and more adept at instructing Li Xu. Li Xu quickly figured out several difficult points.

Li Xu naturally didn't take Luo Shuangshuang's sharp tongue to heart. He knew very well that for someone as proud as Luo Shuangshuang, speaking like this actually meant that she really regarded him as her own.

During this process, Xia Xiaohe did not leave, but stood aside and watched silently for a while.

Dad was out for a social event today, and Uncle Liu had gone out early to pick him up. At dinner, Luo Shuangshuang and the others ate together, and it was quite lively. Xia Xiaomiao took only a few bites before putting down her bowl and chopsticks and running to the nearby coffee table to do math problems. Li Xu brought up the topic, recounting his experiences in the countryside, and the atmosphere became pleasant for a moment.

Xia Xiaohe had been listening attentively to Li Xu's speech, but she didn't say anything herself. Her eyes moved around, and from time to time, an amused smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. When the conversation got to a point, Luo Shuangshuang chuckled softly and looked at Li Xu and joked, "If you were really born in the countryside, you'd have a hard time getting ahead since you're so dumb..."

This was naturally a pure joke. There are not so many ifs in life. Li Xu smiled indifferently and did not intend to discuss this topic with Luo Shuangshuang... Luo Shuangshuang's IQ is indeed not low. She is one of the few girls with strong logical thinking. Taking herself as a reference, it is reasonable to say that she is stupid... But in terms of dealing with people and things, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, Li Xu, who was already accustomed to observing and receiving signals from others, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xia Xiaohe's expression. She frowned, then her face darkened slightly. She remained silent, but the next moment, as if she had made an important decision, she raised her head. "No."

"what?"

Luo Shuangshuang looked over in confusion.

"Even if Li Xu was born in the countryside, he will definitely be successful in the future!" The little girl looked nervous and serious.

Li Xu blinked and looked at Xia Xiaohe with some surprise.

Luo Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. In the end, she just smiled awkwardly: "Oh..."

Xia Xiaohe's face flushed red. She stood up and whispered, "I, I'm going out for some fresh air...I feel a bit stuffy." Then she left the table awkwardly.

Li Xu put down his bowl and chopsticks and smiled at Luo Shuangshuang: "I'll go out and see her."

When he walked out of the door, Xia Xiaohe was sitting on the swing in the garden, with her head down, not saying a word, her hands tightly gripping the swing chain.

Li Xu had just walked up to Xia Xiaohe, but before he could speak, Xia Xiaohe raised her head and spoke first: "Yes, I'm sorry... I don't think I should have said that."

"Uh... that's not the case."

"I just feel uncomfortable... She's just your tutor... When she says you're stupid and that you can't make it, I feel uncomfortable. Don't listen to her. I think even if you were born in the countryside, you'd definitely make it. You can always sense other people's emotions and listen carefully to what they say. I've never met anyone like you before... I think you're amazing. What's the point of being good at math?"

"Ah."

Xia Xiaohe finally let out the emotions that had been pent up in her chest. She breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head in thought for a second or two, then raised her head again, her gaze determined. "And... Li Xu, thank you. I will never let your trust go to waste!"

The girl was now clear-headed, but still confused... But she had already seen a glimpse of hope for the future through the ups and downs of this dreamlike experience, and she made this promise with great solemnity.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his face: "Okay."

The two of them calmed down and stood in the yard for a while, feeling the cold wind. It was still a bit chilly, so Li Xu suggested, "Let's go inside."

"Ah."

As soon as the two walked into the living room, they saw Luo Shuangshuang frowning and thinking deeply about a question given by Xia Xiaomiao.

Xia Xiaomiao raised her head: "But, sister, I haven't come across the theorem you just mentioned. Is it from high school?"

"Um……"

"Then your way of thinking must be wrong."

"That's right... Using junior high school knowledge points to solve it, hmm..." Luo Shuangshuang was at a loss for a moment. At this moment, Xia Xiaomiao suddenly had an idea and raised her head: "I understand..."

"Ok?"

"It should be... this... this... and then this."

"Uh..." Luo Shuangshuang blinked, a little surprised.

After solving the problem, Xia Xiaomiao raised her head and said sincerely and seriously, "Sister, you don't seem to be that smart either..."

The corners of Luo Shuangshuang's mouth twitched slightly.

Xia Xiaomiao lowered her head, her heart beating faster with nervousness.

He actually said that on purpose.
