Chapter 51: Treat

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Shen Jun woke up, it was already three in the afternoon. He sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then scratched his head, yawned, lifted the blanket, and got up to wash up.

Wen Nian heard the noise and turned to see Shen Jun walking into the living room. “I’ve kept the food warm in the pot in the kitchen. Go and eat first.”

When Shen Jun heard this, he turned around and went to the kitchen to dish out the food without saying a word.

Wen Nian was surprised to see Shen Jun in such a state after waking up. It was something new to her, so she took a few more glances before shifting her attention elsewhere.

Wen Nian noticed the change in Shen Jun’s demeanor after he finished his meal. He seemed to have fully awakened and was back to his usual cold and aloof self.

At this point, Wen Nian had only finished the mathematics and physics papers. Shen Jun started by going through the mathematics papers with her, explaining in detail any concepts covered by the incorrect questions, no matter how basic. He also created a few questions for Wen Nian to complete, ensuring that she could correctly answer all similar questions. Afterward, he had Wen Nian work on the second set of the most difficult papers.

To enroll in the school as the first place, Wen Nian was never stupid. Even though she hadn’t studied for over ten years, her brain was still sharp.

…..

After completing the second set, Shen Jun realized that Wen Nian had a firm grasp of the basic knowledge points, and had already understood the deeper difficulties to about 80%. He decided not to pursue the higher difficulties for the time being, as he felt it was more important to focus on catching up at the current stage.

As long as he made sure that her current level wouldn’t impede her future studies, he believed that she could strengthen her foundation by doing practice questions over the next three years.”

Shen Jun used the same teaching method for physics, explaining four sets of practice papers. By the time they finished, it was already eight or nine in the evening, and both of them were feeling hungry again.

Without waiting to be asked, Wen Nian went to the kitchen to prepare stir-fried meat and fish with spices, as well as stir-fried cabbage for dinner.

During dinner, Wen Nian made a casual observation, “I noticed that your ingredients have become quite abundant since I was last here. You even have a variety of sauces and ingredients now.”

Shen Jun savored a bite of the fragrant fish with contentment. Ever since Wen Nian took over from the part-timer, his quality of life had improved significantly. “I consulted with a chef yesterday and bought some ingredients based on his recommendations. Take a look and see if there’s anything missing. I’ll buy it another day.”

Wen Nian’s hand, which had been reaching for food, paused midair. The dish seemed perfectly suited to her tastes. “Feel free to buy anything you’d like to eat. I’m confident in my ability to whip up some delicious home-cooked dishes,” she said.

Shen Jun nodded solemnly. “Please come back again at nine tomorrow morning. There are only two more topics to cover, and we should be able to complete them quickly.”

Wen Nian’s face lit up with joy. This meant that she would soon be able to start working on materials taught for the second semester of high school.

As it was getting late, Wen Nian left after dinner and made her way back to her residential building. As she arrived on the ground floor, she ran into her parents and brother who had also just returned home.

When Zhou Mei saw her daughter returning with her school bag, she asked with concern, “Where have you been all this time? I wanted to call you to ask you to get dinner with us, but you didn’t answer. Your father and I were getting worried and were about to call the police if we couldn’t find you.”

Wen Nian quickly pulled out her phone and noticed two missed calls. “My classmate was tutoring me today, and I accidentally left my phone on silent,” she explained hastily.

Wen Xing’s heart twinged with concern as he saw his daughter studying so late. “Study hard, but don’t forget to take care of yourself. Your health is more important than anything else,” he advised her.

Wen Nian smiled obediently and nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu’s eyes widened and he interjected gloomily, “That’s not what you said earlier! You told me that I’m in my third year of high school and that I need to study harder to avoid the consequences. You said that sacrificing sleep for a year would be worth being happy for the rest of my life!”

Zhou Mei gave her son’s arm a gentle pinch. “You can’t compare yourself to your sister. As a man, you should be prepared to endure more challenges. In the future, you’ll be there to support Nian Nian, and you two should always be there for each other as siblings,” she advised him.

Wen Yu was no stranger to his parents’ double standards, and he had seen it many times before. When he sensed that his mother was about to nag him again, he quickly interrupted her, saying, “Okay, okay, I’ll study hard. Don’t worry!”

Wen Nian couldn’t help but let out a silly laugh as she watched this scene unfold. She wished that she could always hold onto this feeling of happiness throughout her life.

The family walked into the house, chatting and laughing as they went. Suddenly, Wen Nian remembered that she had promised to treat Shen Jun to a meal, so she decided to bring it up to her parents. “Oh, by the way, tomorrow I’m planning to treat my classmate to noodles at the noodle shop. This classmate of mine has been a big help to me with my studies,” she explained.

When Zhou Mei heard about Wen Nian’s plan to treat her classmates to noodles, she agreed but thought it was not enough. “We should treat him to a proper meal. Just noodles is too casual,” she said. “I’ll cook a few dishes tomorrow. What does your classmate like to eat?”

Wen Nian pondered for a moment before answering, “I’m not sure what he likes, but I do know he doesn’t dislike spicy food.”

Zhou Mei patted her chest and made a promise, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything. I definitely won’t let you lose face tomorrow..”
