Chapter 92: Entrance Exams (1/2)
After Tang Jinyu received the love letter, he acted like normal, and still got along with his classmates as before. But the boy who gave him the letter took the initiative to apologize to him.
”Tang Jinyu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but when I first started, it was only from one girl from next door, she kept begging me, but I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I agreed.” The boy scratched his head and whispered in a corner of the corridor. He apologized, ”I didn’t know that she told other people, and she stuffed three other four letters, then I don’t think she really likes you… No, no, I didn’t mean that they look down on you, I mean, that they really admire you.”
Tang Jinyu patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: ”It's okay, I know, everyone is a good classmate, but now I just want to study hard, and I have to prepare for the piano competition. I don't have time to think about it.”
The boy laughed, and he was relieved.
He followed others to have a hot pot meal, eating and he was always feeling sorry for him.
There was less than a month before the high school entrance examination. Everyone felt a sense of urgency, and many people have hired extra tutors at home. On the contrary, Tang Jinyu did not ask for tutors. He just temporarily suspended his piano lessons and concentrated on cultural courses.
Xia Ye personally tutored him. Tang Jinyu's textbooks were not the same as what he used at that time, but the knowledge points were basically the same, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the basics were always those.
Elder Tang, who was far away in Qizhou City, even called to ask questions every now and then, and he was particularly concerned about his little grandson.
When Grandpa Tang heard that Xia Ye was tutoring his grandchild, he smiled and said, ”Then I can rest assured, Xiao Ye has a solid foundation, and Xiaoyu also listened to him, and he can explain it more faster than me.”
Tang Jinyu was indeed obedient, but he wanted to get the same grades as his brother in the exam, and made a great effort to improve even more.
Xia Ye saw this, and didn’t allow him to stay up at night. He escorted him to rest. The first night was fine, but the next day the little guy secretly read through his books under a quilt with a large flashlight, and was caught by Xia Ye.
Xia Ye directly turned on the light in the room, looked at him and said, ”Do you still want your eyes?”
Tang Jinyu was caught and he simply sat up, holding his book and said: ”I just want to read it for a while…”
Xia Ye got a headache: ”You just said that, put down your book and go to bed.”
The little guy relied on being favored and refused to let go, and resisted for the first time: ”Brother, I will read for a while. Brother, you are the best. Let me finish this question.”
Xia Ye pulled out the book from his hand, threw it out, and sat on the side of the bed, saying: ”You know your usual test scores. The key points are very promising for you. You don't need to put such pressure on yourself.”
”…What if I can't get the first place?”
Xia Ye smiled: ”Who told you that you have to do well on the exam? Just review for these few days and you will be able to have a stable mindset in the exam room.”
Tang Jinyu mumbled in a low voice, Xia Ye heard this and knocked on his forehead, ”I am me, you are you, what can I do better than this.”
On the first day, he was fine, but on the second day, the little guy knowingly committed a crime, and when he was caught by Xia Ye again, he was still blinking, looking innocent.
Xia Ye slept directly with him on a bed this time, and fell asleep with him.
On the next day, Xia Ye shook his wrist several times at the company. Han Yichen saw this, touched him with his hand, and said, ”Hey, Lao Xia, what's the matter?”
Xia Ye said quietly: ”What's the situation?”
Han Yichen poked his arm, Xia Ye's arm was still numb, and he shook it and said, ”Don't make trouble.”
”I said nothing! What's the matter with your arm, what did you do last night, who did you sleep with?”
”My brother.”
Han Yichen immediately said: ”You beasts, Xiaoyu, you have to get rid of your mouth!”
Xia Ye said: ”What nonsense, I was supervising him while he slept, he is going to take his entrance exam in a couple of days, and he is naturally nervous about this exam. Every time, he stays up late to read, and his eyes are going to be bloodshot if I don’t take care of him.” He had been sleeping on the small bed on his brother’s side yesterday. It was also spacious, but his tall legs were unable to stretch out, and his arm was a bit numb when the little guy rolled over in the middle of the night and used his arm as a pillow.
Han Yichen and Xia Ye talked about children and about work in the company. He really didn’t want to talk about workplace topics anymore, so he switched to the parenting channel and said to Xia Ye, “Isn’t Xingxing and the others going to take their exams? I found a tutor, and she also set up a study group with her classmates, and worked hard every day to review. When I was on a video call yesterday, she also asked for help about a math problem…”
Xia Ye raised his eyes and smiled: ”Did you?”
Han Yichen said: ”It's too much, I'm a high-achieving student who graduated from Qingbei, and junior high school math is no problem.”
When Han Yichen asked Tang Jinyu, Xia Ye just casually said: ”Fortunately, he is also busy reviewing. I will not work overtime during this time. I have to go back and stare at him in advance.”
Han Yichen said in his heart that sure enough, every year when their company can relax a little bit, it’s not the time to look at the performance or the list, but the time to look at Tang Jinyu's exam. Before the winter and summer holidays, Xia ye must leave early for a week, and the annual meeting is also arranged in the winter and summer holidays. He and Song Yi and old ape take him on a trip together. Xia Ye, the big boss, is very good. In those days of the annual meeting, he will definitely go to accompany his family, and the selected places were also the places that Tang Jinyu wanted to go the most.
Although he sighed countless times, Comrade Xiao Han couldn’t help but sighed again: “Lao Xia, you are so kind to your brother, but if you can take one-tenth of your patience with Xiaoyu to chase after a girl, you would already have a partner.”
Xia Ye was not interested in being with someone. Currently, there are only two things that interest him. One is the computer he has on hand, and the other is his family that stays with him day and night.
The habit he has accumulated over the years for his brother has become as necessary as drinking water and eating. And changing his focus to another person, he couldn’t bear to think about bending down and tying someone else’s shoelace, it was too strange for him to think about.
But with his brother, even if he was a teenager, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
Tang Jinyu was almost late this morning. He rubbed his eyes and yawned at the door, as if he was still not awake yet. He didn't know if the laces were loose, but they were tied by themselves already.
Going back to the company in advance, Xia Ye bought some vegetables and told the nanny to cook some sweet and sour dishes.
The nanny smiled: ”Yes, Mr. Tang brought some, and Mr. Xia upstairs also sent a soup, Mr. Xia also specifically said that he would let you accompany him more these two days, don’t let Xiaoyu go up to play the piano, fearing that he would be distracted.”
Xia Ye said: ”Then fry a few greens, in a smaller portion, and make a few more.”
