23 Chapter 23- Donst have Courage (1/2)
After discussing about Ya Nuo, Nana, Jiang Wei, and Zhen Qi went upstairs to get ready for bed. ”Ah right, I forgot I have math homework due tomorrow!” Nana suddenly remembered what she totally forgot the entire day. She knew she forgot something, but she thought that since it is something that she doesn't remember, it isn't important.
After taking a shower, she knocked on Jiang Wei's door.
Creak
”Bro! Help me with my homework!!” she rushed into the room and realized that it was Zhen Qi who opened the door, not her brother.
”Wei is taking the shower. He just went in. How about I teach you?”
”Yes please! I need to finish this before I sleep.”
”Alright, but Wei's room is kind of messy right now because of our project. Can I teach you somewhere else?”
”Umm.. my parents are already asleep so we can't go to the living room. Then, my room? I cleaned it yesterday so it's still organized for now.”
Zhen Qi chuckled, ”Alright, let's go.”
”Okayyy”
-Nana's room-
”Okay. Which questions do you need help with?”
”Everything.”
”Did you take notes in class?”
”Yeah, but these notes are hard to understand and the teacher talks too fast. Most of the notes that she scribbles across the board are useless because she explains it by mouth.”
”Can I see your notes?”
”Here you go.”
After 5 minutes, Zhen Qi closed her notebook and reviewed her homework questions.
”Starting from this question, because it is asking you to find the missing number, X, you need to choose the most suited formula. Now, over here in your notes, there are 5 formulas listed. Only one of them can be used at the end to get the correct answer. In this situation, we have the Y, Z, K, L, and M variables and numbers given. Each of these variables represents different currencies so you will have to use this equation to convert each of them and make them alike. So after doing this, variables Y, Z, K, L, and M will become....and then you use this other formula to look for....then you will use another formula to....and finally, you will get the answer after applying the 4th formula from your notes, which is 2,475,869. Do you understand it?”
”.... math is a very questionable subject. Maybe I came from a foreign planet. Whatever you just explained to me is the same as me listening to a foreign language. I'm sorry, can you explain it again?”
”Haha, that's okay if you didn't understand the first time. Here, I'll put it in simpler terms.”
- 30 minutes later-
”Wow Zhen Qi! You're so smart!! I can do half of these questions myself now. Can I do the next one and let you check it?”
”Sure, I'll stay here until you finish your homework.”
”Thank you!!” She hummed her favorite song as she solved the question.
'Hmm? She really likes this song. She's always humming it.'
”Zhen Qi, I'm done!”
”Oh? That was quick. Let's see...”
”Wow, our princess does learn quick. You got it correct! Now, try doing the other questions yourself. If you have any questions, I'll be here.”
”Okayyy”
knock knock
”Zhen Qi, I knew you are with her. What's up? Helping her with her math homework?”
”Yep. She improved a lot while you were taking a shower.”
”Hmm? Then you are really good at explaining to her because I suck at simplifying the terms to make her life easier when solving these difficult long dull questions.”
”I noticed that these questions are more difficult because the way the question is worded is confusing. If we break down the question separately then it will be way easier to understand what it is asking. We learned this math around a month ago already, but the teacher in our school gave easy homework questions.”
”Zhen Qi, I'm done with the last question!”
”Great! Let me double-check it and you could sleep.”
