for Advance Chapter
"Sister, your cooking is so delicious! I want to eat it forever!"
Lin Junyi mumbled vaguely as he swallowed his food in big mouthfuls at the dinner table.
"All those sweet words! It's delicious, so eat more. I don't know who you learned this from, you're becoming more and more slick!" Lin Wanqing gently tapped Ye Feng's forehead with her jade finger, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Well, sister, it's Saturday today, what are your plans? Are you going to stay home with me?" Lin Junyi asked.
Looking at the greedy expectation in his eyes, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but stretch out her jade hand as white as scallion roots, gently stroked his cheek, sighed imperceptibly, and then said softly,
"Brother, I know you are lonely at home alone. But our family is not as rich as before. The salary I earn as a kindergarten teacher is not enough to supplement the family income, so I have to work part-time on weekends. You stay at home obediently, and preview your homework when you are bored. I will come back in the evening and make your favorite braised pork ribs, how about it?"
"Sister! You have worked hard! It's all my fault that I am a burden to you!"
Lin Junyi felt that the softest part of his heart was deeply touched. His mind couldn't help but once again reflect the scene of his sister braving the scorching sun to bring him food. His nose was sour and tears almost flowed down.
Lin Wanqing couldn't help feeling sad after hearing what her brother said, a sad smile emerged on her beautiful face, she gently stroked Lin Junyi's cheek and said, "Brother, don't blame yourself. Sister doesn't feel tired, I just hope you can study hard and don't make trouble at school."
"Sister, you really worry about me, you brave the scorching heat to bring me meals, and you have to work part-time on weekends... I'm such a bastard, I go to the best secondary school in Hong Kong, but I don't study well in school, I always rank last in exams, and last time I wanted to rape my sister while she was asleep... How can I be worthy of her?"
Lin Junyi gritted his teeth and made up his mind: I must study hard, make a career as soon as possible, and make my sister happy for me.
Lin Junyi sat up straight in his chair, looked at Lin Wanqing, and said seriously, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Lin Wanqing saw Lin Junyi's serious expression and smiled with relief, as pure and beautiful as a blooming lily...
Time passed slowly. After dinner, Lin Wanqing was about to stand up to clear the dishes when Lin Junyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Sister, I'm going to the Book City to buy tutoring materials this morning. Where do you work part-time? If it's on my way, I'll stop by to see you."
Lin Wanqing thought for a moment, then said directly, "Okay, I work part-time at the entrance of Zhongyuan Shopping Mall. Come if you want, but don't forget to wear a sun hat. It should be hot today."
"Hmm..."
In fact, Lin Junyi hadn't lied to Lin Wanqing; he did plan to buy books today.
About half an hour after Lin Wanqing left, Lin Junyi also left with a faint sense of melancholy. The
Book City was quite far from his home, at least four or five miles away. But Lin Junyi didn't want to take the bus, but planned to walk there. This was not just to save money, because he wanted to.
Lin Wanqing had just chosen to walk an hour and a half to Zhongyuan Shopping Mall to save a Hong Kong dollar. He longed to experience the hardships his sister endured daily.
The temperature was high today, nearing 40 degrees Celsius even though it wasn't even midday. Under the scorching sun, Lin Junyi walked along the wide street, his footsteps shallow and deep, wiping his face from time to time. His shirt quickly became soaked. However, Lin Junyi didn't care. It seemed that whenever he thought of Lin Wanqing, he felt a slight chill.
The bookstore had two floors: the ground floor held popular science, humanities, and history, while the second floor held educational books. Lin Junyi had never been in a bookstore before. He wandered around the first floor several times but couldn't find any physics reference books, leaving him perplexed.
"Little boy, are you buying reference books?" A beautiful young woman in her thirties, seeing Lin Junyi's anxious expression, approached him, driven by a strong maternal instinct, and asked kindly.
"Yes, Auntie!"
Lin Junyi looked at the young woman and nodded gently.
"Don't worry, come with me! I'll show you!"
Grabbing Lin Junyi's shirt, the young woman pulled him from the southern end of the ground floor to the staircase leading directly to the second floor.
"Look, kid, that's it!" the young woman said, pointing to an area ahead.
"Well, thank you, Auntie! ... You're so kind!"
"You're welcome, kid. I have a three-year-old son too. Put yourself in his shoes. I just hope that one day, when he encounters something like this, someone kind enough will help him like this! ... Goodbye!"
The young woman smiled and turned away, her slender figure standing out against the crowd.
"Good people will be rewarded!!!"
(This is also my wish! I hope everyone in the world can put themselves in others' shoes and treat everyone around them with kindness!)
Standing at the bright second-floor staircase, Lin Junyi took in the rows of bookshelves stacked in the spacious second floor, like mountains gleaming with the light of knowledge.
Lin Junyi lowered his head, walking among the bookshelves, perusing the bookshelves.
Since it was his first time in the bookstore, every book seemed new to Lin Junyi, as if each one was important and something he coveted.
If he relied solely on the advantages of being reborn, Lin Junyi would still be far from achieving top academic performance among the thousands of students at Heep Yung Private School. After all, the teaching methods and content in Hong Kong and mainland China differ significantly.
He casually flipped open a book with 100 solutions to difficult physics problems for third-grade students. After reading the first problem, he had a clear solution in mind. Looking at the solution in the reference book, Lin Junyi was immediately impressed. He had to admit that the solution in the reference book was more sophisticated and simpler.
He encountered the same problem again when he looked at another problem. Lin Junyi couldn't help but close the reference book, looked up, and surveyed the second-floor hall. He couldn't help but sigh, "How much would it cost to buy all the reference books here?"
Ten minutes later, Lin Junyi reluctantly glanced back at the reference book he had just read, feeling a little reluctant. But a touch of the money in his pocket made him look away.
Lin Wanqing didn't give Lin Junyi much money, so he didn't know which book was the cheapest and most suitable. After all, he had no idea about the prices of these books.
