    A serving of Chuanbei Sydney and loquat soup made Shen Lan's attitude towards He Chen somewhat better. However, this "harmony" had just lasted for an afternoon before it was ruthlessly broken at night.

    Before the last evening self-study, Shen Lan saw half of the words she had written by mistake, and felt her temples throbbing. If it wasn't for He Chen who was watching him from the side, he would definitely destroy the body on the spot and take the pictureI can't bear to look directly at the dictation paper and throw it out of the sky, out of sight and out of mind.

    "Half wrong."

    He Chen glanced over the thirty words drawn by Shen Lan, and the doubts and puzzles in his eyes were about to overflow.

    Obviously other subjects can be done with ease, but when it comes to English, Shen Lan seems to be under a curse, and can't get the hang of it for a long time.

    "Grass, are these English words memorized by humans?" Shen Lan scratched his hair in extreme irritability, and his head grew big because of all kinds of English words.

    "I said, are you embarrassing me on purpose? These words are not common words in the first place, and you asked me to memorize fifty of them a day. In addition, there are reading questions and cloze. No one can remember them otherwise.ah!"

    Hearing this, He Chen glanced at him silently, then tore off a blank draft paper and handed it to Shen Lan, and tapped on the dictionary with a signature pen.

    "Test me."

    Shen Lan was refreshed, and her eyes lit up instantly: "You said this yourself, so I won't be polite."

    Before he finished speaking, he quickly took the draft paper into his hand, wrote thirty Chinese meanings in a few strokes against the dictionary, and returned the paper to He Chen.

    "The time limit is five minutes," Shen Lan stared at her watch, "Three, two, one, start!"

    The watch was pressed with a ticking beep, and He Chen picked up the black signature pen and began to write vigorously.

    Fluent English words are quickly presented in his pen. Although He Chen's handwriting is fast, the lines between the lines are still handsome and pleasing to the eye.

    Snapped!

    When the gel pen was put down, Shen Lan pressed the pause button, and the time on the watch was clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

    Three minutes and two seconds.

    At this speed, it doesn't even pass through the brain when writing, unless you are so familiar with it that you can form a strong muscle memory.

    "I'll go, are you driving at double speed..."

    Shen Lan stretched out his hand to take the draft paper into his hand, and opened the glossary for one-to-one correspondence. He read it back and forth three times, but he didn't find the slightest mistake.Fingers crossed.

    Only then did Shen Lan feel a kind of oppression directly.

    In the past, Shen Lan always studied as he wanted, because his grades in other subjects were enough to support him, so even though his English was not good enough, he didn't put much thought into it, thinking that it was harmless.

    However, the appearance of He Chen made his pride instinctively feel a threat. Although he didn't want to admit it, He Chen was indeed a good enough person.

    It's a pity that Young Master Shen is the best at saving face. Although he thought so in his heart, he refused to lose his momentum on the face.

    He eloquently put a check mark on He Chen's draft paper, and then wrote a super big 100 points, and then returned it to him calmly.

    "It's just so-so. You have memorized these things. It would be strange if you couldn't write them down."

    "Well," He Chen casually clipped the draft paper into the English book, "It's no better than you."

    ???

    These three words full of irony made Shen Lan furious instantly: "Isn't it just that English is better, what's there to be proud of, having skills that are better than others!"

    Hearing this, He Chen suddenly put down his pen, took his English book and took out the grade slip, and unfolded it in front of Shen Lan calmly: "Let's compare."

    Yishui's excellent grades made Shen Lan's heart flutter instantly. Even the math he was most confident in, He Chen, this kid actually got full marks in the exam!

    Shen Lan: "... Grass, the first grade is amazing!"

    In the third quarter, the bell for the evening self-study just rang, and Shen Lan angrily took out her vocabulary book, and began to recite the vocabulary as if holding her breath.

    Where he couldn't see, He Chen, who had always been unsmiling, quietly raised the corners of his mouth because of his angry expression, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    Forty-five minutes passed in a flash, and the teacher on duty left the classroom at that time, and the students rushed out like rabbits having a good time, picking up their schoolbags.

    Shen Lan didn't bring much, so he stuffed half of the English practice questions into his bag, zipped it up, and was about to leave.

    "Hey, brother Shen, wait for me!"

    Song Mian hurriedly cleaned up the books on his desk, Gu was about to chase after Shen Lan, but the other party's voice came in from outside the classroom.

    "No supper appointment today, go home and learn English!"

    "Wh, what... English?!"

    Song Mian's brain shut down instantly, and the unbelievable words turned in his mind for several times before he gradually realized them.

    "Tomorrow the sun will come out from the west? I actually heard Brother Shen say that I want to learn English in my lifetime?!"

    While speaking, Song Mian inadvertently met He Chen's eyes, the cold but incomprehensible eyes made him hold back the rest of his words in an instant.

    Forget it, the two bosses are fighting, and he is a little transparent, so it's better not to participate.

    It was past ten o'clock when Shen Lan got home. He put on his slippers and walked lightly to Shen Jiamiao's room. After making sure that the little girl was fast asleep, he lightly went back to his bedroom to wash up.

    "I don't believe it anymore, isn't it just memorizing vocabulary, isn't it just reading gestalt," he muttered while brushing his teeth, "I am not afraid of the big math questions, can I still overcome this little English?"

    It's a pity that the ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is skinny. When Shen Lan faced the red cloze again, that kind of unbelievable doubt hit her face.

    Is this answer serious?Is this really the answer to the gestalt he made?!

    He reached out to touch the booklet in his schoolbag, wanting to read it again against the complete analysis, but he fumbled back and forth several times, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

    Um?

    Shen Lan simply put down the pen, poured out all the things in the bag, and after repeated confirmation, finally realized the fact that he didn't bring it back.

    "Grass, the brain is a good thing."

    There was no analysis for comparison, which made Shen Lan feel restless again. If he can't solve this gestalt now, he probably won't be able to sleep this night.

    I really can't find someone to ask...

    Thinking of this, Shen Lan reached for the mobile phone next to her, opened the contact list and swipe down one by one.

    Wan Ke's grades are rubbish, and he probably doesn't remember the common vocabulary, or ask Song Mian... Forget it, he didn't know how much he was fooled when he was doing the questions.

    All kinds of weird nicknames flashed before Shen Lan's eyes one by one, and when he was about to slide to the bottom, a simple full stop made his movements suddenly stop.

    That was He Chen's contact information, and there was a green grass behind the dialog box, which was the sign of a new friend after chatting.

    Boom!

    Shen Lan instantly threw the phone back on the table, as if the phone was hot.

    "I'm not going to ask that scheming dog He Chen! Who asks about his grandson!"

    Turning her gaze, Shen Lan looked back at her full of red, and three seconds later, she silently picked up her mobile phone and clicked on He Chen's dialog box.

    "What are you doing?"

    The message was withdrawn as soon as it was sent.

    No, no, Shen Lan thought in his heart, speaking like this is not his style.

    Immediately afterwards, he took another picture and sent it to He Chen, but it was withdrawn within a few seconds.

    It doesn't work like this, it seems to be begging him.

    Just when Shen Lan was thinking about how to post the opening remarks for the third time, the news from the other side suddenly came over.

    He Chen:?

    Shen Lan: Why?

    He Chen: Screenshot of "The message has been withdrawn".

    He Chen: What's the matter?

    Shen Lan: I sent the wrong message, can't I withdraw it?

    He Chen: Oh.

    "Oh!" Shen Lan stared at the dialog box tightly, wishing to stare a hole in her eyes, "Oh ghost! Will it kill you if you say a few more words?"

    Shen Lan: Can you stop jumping out with a few words when you speak, those who don't know think that your words cost money, one thousand words!

    He Chen: ...No more than you.

    He Chen: In terms of weight.

    Shen Lan:???

    If the eyes could be visualized, Shen Lan would probably be furious by now.

    Shen Lan: Young master, this is called excellent communication skills, and he is not a chatterbox!Don't say grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes!

    He Chen: Um, so?

    Shen Lan: Why not?

    He Chen: Got a question?

    These four words were like small spikes that suddenly appeared, and Shen Lan quickly took his hand back after stinging.

    How did he know what he was thinking?

    Although she was flustered in her heart, Shen Lan insisted on not losing the chain on the face.

    Shen Lan: Who said I wanted to ask a question, I just wanted to test you to see if you slept or not.

    He Chen: Oh, smile.jpg

    "Fuck, He Chen is really full of bad taste." Shen Lan gritted her teeth, "This smiling expression really looks unbearable!"

    Shen Lan: Do you like to do it or not, the young master doesn't want to serve you!

    He Chen: Exam questions.

    "Oh, exam questions?" Shen Lan snorted coldly, and said to herself on the phone screen, "I will post it if you ask me to, do I want to lose face?"

    A second later, the entire cloze photo clearly appeared in the dialog box.

    Shen Lan: This, full of black lines.jpg

    He Chen: Three minutes.

    After the message was sent, the prompt that the opposite side was typing also disappeared.

    The second hand of the quartz clock on the wall was ticking. Shen Lan waited for He Chen's reply while going through the cloze from the beginning to see if there was any breakthrough.

    buzz buzz - buzz buzz -

    There was a sudden vibration from the mobile phone on the table. At this moment, Shen Lan was concentrating on the English article in front of her, and pressed the connect button without looking at the caller ID.

    "Hello, who are you?"

    "it's me."

    A unique low mint tone came from the phone, and Shen Lan's movements stopped suddenly. He subconsciously glanced at the caller ID on the screen, but suddenly an inappropriate idea popped into his mind.

    Why didn't realize that He Chen's voice is so nice?

    He shook his head, forcibly expelled this thought from his head, and once again assumed his usual tone of voice.

    "Why did you call suddenly and startle me!"

    Hearing this, He Chen on the opposite side paused: "Then hang up?"

    "Forget it, I've played all the fights, don't hang up." Shen Lan picked up the pen and prepared to face this gestalt for the third time, "Tell me, I'll listen, let me see, how successful are you?.”

    "This article is generally based on AI face-changing technology, and the first blank is about..."

    He Chen's deep and gentle voice became very clear in the silent night. Facing his explanation, Shen Lan raised his own questions in a timely manner.Almost twenty minutes have passed.

    "I'll go, it's going to be twelve o'clock so soon?"

    Shen Lan looked at her watch and said, "I didn't expect you to still have some strength. In this assessment, you can barely score five."

    "Well," came the voice of flipping through the book on the other side of the phone, "welcome again next time."

    "Fuck you, I'm not always free!"

    The annoyed voice ended with two beeps when the phone was hung up. He Chen, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the nearly twenty minutes of call records on the phone, and the corners of his mouth raised a little unconsciously, before turning off the phone., Put all your energy into the exercises in front of you.

    thump thump——

    Suddenly there was a slight knock on the bedroom door, and a woman with a gentle smile came in carrying fruit, put the fruit plate on the desk and patted He Chen on the shoulder.

    "Chen Chen, are you still studying at this late hour?"

    "Well, the mission is not over." He Chen put down his pen and turned to look at the woman next to him, "Thank you, auntie."

    "We're all in the same family, so don't be so polite." Auntie pushed the fruit plate in front of He Chen, "I know you have always been a good boy who is serious and hardworking, but you should also pay attention to your body while studying, and don't be too strict with yourself.Seriously, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution."

    "I know."

    He Chen nodded, took a piece of apple with a fork and put it into his mouth according to my aunt's wishes.

    This kind of obedience fell into the woman's eyes, as if it suddenly touched her hidden fragile nerves, and her eye sockets suddenly turned red.

    "Sister and brother-in-law will be very pleased if they see that you are so good now..."

    "Auntie," He Chen raised his head and said, "Next Saturday, I want to go alone."

    "Okay, okay..." The woman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You go to see them, they will be very happy."

    "It's getting late, you go to bed early, don't be too tired."

    "good."

    The woman gave a few simple instructions before turning around and leaving. The sound of the room door being closed with a click was like a switch, which inadvertently poked He Chen's heart.

    He reached out and took the "Compendium of Materia Medica" placed on the desk. The corners of the thick book had turned yellow, but even so, there was no damage, which showed how much the owner of the book loved it.

    "Dad, Mom..."

    Amid the low whispers, a gust of wind blew by suddenly, and the pages of the book were inadvertently turned over, revealing the hidden photos, and the smiles on them contained infinite thoughts going back...
