Before Ji Zixuan could say anything, Ji Zi’ang acted as if he had won an award and said proudly, “Yeah, it’s a real first prize! In the future, he can get ten points for the middle school examination!”
Li Xu was even more surprised. She gasped and asked hoarsely, “Ten points?”
“Yes, 10 points!” Ji Zixuan nodded.
Li Xu’s eyes reddened as she stepped forward and hugged him, “My son is great. You’ve worked hard. Mommy will cook something delicious for you tonight. What do you want to eat?”
Other people could only see Ji Zixuan’s glory. Only his family could see the hardships behind his glory.
How long had it been since Ji Zixuan had rested for this season?
Even during the New Year, he only rested for a few days.
“No, it’s not. It’s not hard at all to do what I like.” He shook his head.
Li Xu let go of him and wiped her tears before turning to the kitchen.
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang dragged Ji Zixuan to the bathroom to wash their hands.
When the three children came out, Li Xu had already come out of the kitchen.
Her expression returned to normal as she discussed with Ji Zixuan, “There’s still a chicken in the fridge. I’ll stew it for you in the afternoon, ‘kay? There’s also some shrimp. Do you want to eat shrimp dumplings? Shall 1 make dumplings for you?”
“All right.” Ji Zixuan nodded. “I like them all.”
Li Xu saw this and heaved a sigh of relief, “All right then. We’ll eat dumplings for the main course. I’ll also see how to make a few more dishes. I’ll call your father later and tell him to come back early and eat at home.”
“Mom, my brother is so hardworking this time. I’m afraid it’s not enough for you to just cook delicious food, right?” Ji Zi’ang mumbled as he ate.
Because Ji Zi’ang and Li Xu were sitting next to each other, Li Xu saw the scratch on the back of his ear.
“What’s wrong? Whom did you fight with?” Li Xu put down her chopsticks and asked as she pulled his ear.
“Hey!” Ji Zi’ang struggled. “Don’t change the subject!”
Seeing that the injury was not serious, Li Xu picked up her chopsticks again and deliberately asked, “What’s wrong? What good ideas do you have? Tell me!”
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, his eyes darted around before he said, “Then you must buy a gift for Big Brother.”
“Oh? Then what do you think should be a suitable gift?” Li Xu lowered her head and asked while holding back her laughter.
How can she didnot understand Ji Zi’ang’s intentions?
She could guess what he was going to say next.
Unfortunately, he was too excited to notice Li Xu’s abnormality.
“I just think that Big Brother needs a computer now. If there’s anything he doesn’t understand, he can directly search online. Moreover, with a computer, they could chat. Big Brother can add the teacher’s contact information. If you want to ask any questions, you can also ask the teacher directly.” Ji Zi’ang said.
As expected, this was the answer. Li Xu’s lips twitched as she looked up at Ji Zi’ang, “Does your brother need it, or do you need it?”
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang looked a little embarrassed, “Of course, it’s for Big Brother. After you buy a computer, you can just put it in Big Brother’s room. I probably only use it occasionally.”
Then, he looked at Ji Zixuan and hinted, “Brother, do you also think that buying a computer is a necessary thing?”
Ji Zixuan raised his head and looked at Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zi’ang gave him a look, but his expression did not change at all.
Just when he thought there was no hope, Ji Zixuan suddenly said, “Mom, I think what Zi’ang said makes sense.”
Li Xu did not expect this.
“The internet is indeed very convenient.” Ji Zixuan added before lowering his head to eat.
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang quickly kicked Ji Yuanyuan under the table, signaling her to say something.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended she did not feel anything. She retracted her feet and continued eating quietly.
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang lowered his head and observed Li Xu’s actions from the corner of his eye as he ate.
Li Xu did it on purpose. She purposely did not say yes or no just to make Ji Zi’ang nervous for a while.
Li Xu still didn’t say anything even after they had finished eating.
With a disappointed expression, he stood up and walked into his room.
Their mother didn’t say anything, probably because she disagreed.
She did not expect that even though his brother said that he needed it, her mother still did not agree.
“Let’s go to the computer this weekend.” At the kitchen door, Li Xu suddenly said this.
Ji Zi’ang turned around and looked at Li Xu. He suspected that he had misheard. He raised his hand and rubbed his ears before asking, “Mom, what did you say?”
Li Xu put the bowl and chopsticks into the sink, turned around, and said with a smile, “I say, let’s go look at computers this weekend and buy you a computer.
But it has to be in your Dad’s and my room. Whoever wants to use the computer has to get my permission.”
Ji Zi’ang was very excited when he heard that. However, when he heard the last few words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
If he had placed it in his brother’s room, he could have discussed it with his brother and secretly played a few games.
But if it was placed in their mother’s room…
However, he would definitely have a chance to play if they bought it. It was better than not buying it.
Ji Zi’ang quickly figured this out. He smiled again and looked at Li Xu, “All right, then let’s go on Sunday!”
He returned to his room and took out two books from the pile of books on his desk.
When he woke up from his lunch break to go to school, he picked up these two books.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. She naturally knew the book Ji Zixuan was holding was about Mathematical Olympiad.
This book was for Fang Xinyi.
She just didn’t expect her big brother to be so concerned about Fang Xinyi’s matter.
They were not in the same place, so they did not go to school together in the afternoon.
After putting the car away, Ji Zixuan handed the book to Ji Yuanyuan and instructed, “This is the book I promised Fang Xinyi. Give it to her later!”
Ji Yuanyuan took the book from him before he turned to leave.
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t even look at Yang Jingyi.
After Ji Zixuan left, Yang Jingyi peeked angrily at the book in Ji Yuanyuan’s arms, “Yuanyuan, accompany me to buy books tonight.”
“Buy books?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. “What books?”
Yang Jingyi pointed at the two books in Ji Yuanyuan’s hands, “Just these two books!”
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand. Then, she looked at Yang Jingyi and could not help but laugh.
She reached out and pinched Yang Jingyi’s cheeks, “Why are you so cute?”
Yang Jingyi was still looking at the book in her hand expressionlessly.
“But are you sure you can understand it?”
Yang Jingyi finally raised her head.
She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and finally smiled, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t understand it. Don’t you still have your brother?”
Ji Yuanyuan came back to his senses and realized something.
She didn’t expect Yang Jingyi to be so scheming even though she was usually so carefree..
