60. Try a Little Harder
"I'm so full... Burp~"
Kiana touched her round belly and burped.
Half of the food on the table went into Kiana's stomach. It must be said that when it comes to eating, Kiana is indeed far superior to the other two.
"It seems that between the two of us, Kiana still prefers the food cooked by Yun Ling." Mei joked in a somewhat lonely tone.
"No...no! I also like what Mei cooks!" Kiana explained hurriedly, with a bit of panic in her tone.
"Haha, just kidding." Mei couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"Will you really not get fat if you eat so much?" Yun Ling couldn't help but poke her bulging belly.
If you don't know, you would think she is already three months pregnant.
Although Kiana is only slightly lighter than Mei, she does look a little thin... probably because her body muscles are denser.
Kiana slapped his hand away in embarrassment.
"I have a physique that won't make me fat no matter how much I eat. Don't try to scare me here! Do you think you can scare me?"
Indeed, according to Kiana's usual amount of exercise, she doesn't have to worry about gaining weight by eating these meals.
Seeing that the two of them were able to talk and laugh together, Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Isn't this great?
After a short rest, the three of them sat down around the table and started studying.
Of course, we must start with the most difficult subject, which is mathematics.
Kiana touched her head, showing a look of pain on her face; her hair was starting to get frizzy due to her constantly touching it.
Mathematics is one of her weakest subjects.
Even though she's not good at any other subject other than sports...
The two handed in the test papers handed out by Mei. Yun Ling barely passed, but Kiana...
"Oh..." A long sigh contained her indescribable distress.
It feels like Kiana's math needs to be taught in elementary school...
Kiana lowered her head with a red face, feeling a little embarrassed.
"How about it, did I pass?" Yun Ling asked with a smile.
Although I don't remember a lot of knowledge clearly, it is still no problem for me to pass this kind of test.
"You have to sit here even if you pass. Your score can only be considered barely passing. If you make a mistake, you will have to make up for it." Mei glanced at him and knew that this guy wanted to play games.
Yun Ling's smile disappeared. Did he really need to take tutoring after all?
Soon, Mei's tutoring for the two of them began.
Of course, the key poverty alleviation target is still Kiana. Except for a few multiple-choice questions that she guessed correctly, she basically got all the answers wrong on any other question.
Come to think of it, Kiana seems to be the lucky one...why not find an opportunity to ask her to help you draw a card?
Yun Ling flipped through his brand-new math book and began to review all the knowledge points in it.
His enhanced comprehension ability has enabled him to apply what he has learned to other situations, including some simple examples.
Soon, Yun Ling finished studying a chapter and started fishing.
Mei certainly discovered that Yun Ling was slacking off, but she was tutoring Kiana and had no time to care about Yun Ling at the moment.
After a night of tutoring, Kiana finally managed to learn some of the content, but she was already exhausted.
"Okay, let's stop here for tonight." After Mei finished speaking, Kiana couldn't help but cheer.
"We'll continue tomorrow."
Kiana was petrified.
"Tutoring is so tiring..." Yun Ling stretched and lay down on the sofa beside him.
"Yun Ling, you don't think I didn't see it, right? You are only studying for half an hour. You were playing games the rest of the time!" Mei's words were filled with disappointment.
"That's because I've already finished learning it." Yun Ling responded lazily.
"Have you finished learning?"
Mei was a little skeptical and took the exercises in front of him.
The answers in it are so concise and clear that if you don't know them, you might think they are reference answers written by a top student.
"You learned all this just now?" Meiyi was a little skeptical. Could this guy have secretly looked at the answers sheet?
However, he also completed all the questions that were not on the answer sheet above.
"Of course." Yun Ling nodded.
"...Kiana, it seems like you're the only idiot here." Mei closed the exercise book.
"Ah?!"
Kiana looked at Yun Ling beside her with a complicated look in her eyes.
We agreed to be idiots together, but you secretly became a top student?
"It's getting late, I'll take Kiana home first." Mei looked at the sky outside, which had already become completely dark.
"Let me come too." Yun Ling stood up.
The two looked at him in surprise.
"As a boy, if I let you two walk alone at night, people will talk back at you," Yun Ling explained.
"Yun Ling, are you still afraid of this..." Mei pursed her lips, with a different light flashing in her eyes.
Yes, why would he be afraid of this?
If he were afraid of this, he would not have stood up at that time.
"Yun Ling, you look so weak, maybe you can't even beat me." Kiana looked at him teasingly.
"Okay, so if we encounter danger, you guys help hold them off, and I'll call the police." Yun Ling nodded.
His shamelessness silenced both of them.
The cold wind at night was still a bit biting, so Mei and Kiana huddled together to keep each other warm.
Seeing this, Yun Ling felt a sense of envy.
They soon arrived at Kiana's residence downstairs. Yun Ling waited quietly downstairs while Mei sent Kiana to her doorstep.
Not long after, Mei came down.
"Let's go home," Mei said to Yun Ling.
"Um."
After walking through the bustling streets, they returned to the relatively quiet residential area.
"Yun Ling, do you really not hide your strength normally?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Yun Ling was stunned for a few seconds by this sudden question.
"Your grades." Mei looked at him puzzledly.
"Oh, about this... Of course not, I just don't want to learn." Yun Ling shook his head.
"Why?" Mei was a little confused.
Isn't it a student's duty to study?
"Maybe, because there is no motivation to do it." Yun Ling exhaled, and under the illumination of the street lights, the white mist slowly dissipated.
"Motivation..." Mei blinked.
Then he leaned close to Yun Ling's ear as if playing a prank.
"If you can surpass me in this exam, I'll go on a date with you. How about that as a motivation?"
The breath exhaled from Mei's mouth was a little sweet, which made Yun Ling's ears itch, and he couldn't help shivering.
"Are you serious?"
Isn't this where the motivation comes from?
"I mean what I say, but...I'm the top student in my grade."
Mei had a blush on her face, with her hands behind her back, pretending not to care as she walked forward.
Yun Ling suddenly felt that his spring was coming.
Power is constantly flowing out of his body.
"Looks like I need to work a little harder."
