CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 319: GAN THE UNDERACHIEVER_3

"..."

"Starting tomorrow, you should sleep with the curtains open."

Gan Yanyu says.

"Huh?"

Lin Tian doesn’t understand.

"Just open them."

Gan Yanyu repeats.

"Alright."

Lin Tian agrees.

Although he doesn’t understand what Gan Yanyu wants to do.

But anyway, during this time, he needs to wake up early, and sleeping with the curtains closed is not that bad...

Lin Tian thinks this way and lowers his head to check the time.

An hour has passed!

And the exercise book on the table... only two pages have been turned!

"Little Gan!"

Lin Tian lets out a sharp cry.

The girl’s body reacts as if receiving a command, instantly straightening up.

"It’s time to do the exercises!"

Lin Tian shouts.

"Okay, Mr. Lin!"

Gan Yanyu quickly buries her head down.

"....."

Indeed!

Lin Tian holds his forehead.

Studying in the same room with Gan Yanyu is really hard to focus!

Little Gan often gets distracted on her own.

She even leads the teacher to get distracted too.

Truly a fearsome student!

The scariest part is, Lin Tian himself actually enjoys it...

With only a bit of time left before the college entrance exam, this won’t do!

Lin Tian must pull himself together and set higher expectations for Gan Yanyu.

"Little Gan."

"Hmm?"

Gan Yanyu lifts her head.

"Starting now, let’s play a game."

Lin Tian says,

"Whoever speaks first to the other loses!"

"But...what if I can’t do the problem?"

"I’ve already taught you this example problem."

Lin Tian pulls Gan Yanyu’s exercise book toward him, writing and drawing on it with his finger.

"Finish these three pages, these problems are all what I just taught you."

Lin Tian returns the exercise book to Gan Yanyu.

The girl glances at the content on the three pages and reveals a slightly tragic expression...

Lin Tian understands.

For Gan Yanyu, rote learning is the easiest.

After all, she’s known as a walking classical music score memory master.

For most of the comprehensive subjects, Lin Tian doesn’t need to worry; he believes she can handle them on her own.

But it’s the math.

This subject that tortures countless college entrance exam students is way too difficult for Gan Yanyu, a student with a weak foundation.

This challenge cannot be solved by memorizing a few formulas, imagining a few scenes, or assigning roles.

She has to rely on herself!

"Okay."

Gan Yanyu takes a deep breath and nods,

"Then starting now, we won’t speak!"

...

...

"Swish, swish, swish—"

The sound of a pen continuously writing on paper.

The sunset streams through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the wooden floor, with a faint scent of pine wafting through the air.

Gan Yanyu sits cross-legged on a teddy bear, a math exercise book spread open in front of her, her brow so furrowed she could crush a mosquito.

Lin Tian sits across from her, a pen in his hand, also working on exercises, as focused as conducting a symphony.

Time passes by, minute by minute.

Just like that, half an hour goes by.

Lin Tian estimates that the three pages of exercises should be finished.

After all, for him, he only needs 15 minutes, and though Gan Yanyu is a bit slower due to her weak foundation, as long as she listened well to Lin Tian’s lesson, 30 minutes should be sufficient.

However, he raises his head and glances at Gan Yanyu.

He finds Gan Yanyu still writing and drawing on the scratch paper.

So, Lin Tian doesn’t disturb her and continues working on his own exercises.

Another half an hour passes.

Lin Tian snaps back to reality and glances at Gan Yanyu.

Gan Yanyu is still writing furiously.

Seems like she’s hit a tough problem.

Lin Tian thinks.

When solving math problems, encountering this situation is normal. Sometimes the sense of accomplishment from solving a tough problem on your own is far more satisfactory than getting help from others.

Therefore, Gan Yanyu probably doesn’t want him to disturb her right now...

So, Lin Tian keeps his head down and continues with his exercises.

This time, even Lin Tian himself gets into it.

He suddenly reignites the passion for exercises from sophomore year, fully immersed.

Unknowingly...an hour passes.

When Lin Tian snaps back to reality, he’s shocked to realize a long time has gone by.

He lifts his head, surprised to see Gan Yanyu still writing!

"Little Gan!"

Lin Tian can’t hold back any longer.

He shouts, startling the girl’s body into a tremor,

"Ah...huh??"

Gan Yanyu looks around, then focuses on Lin Tian.

"What’s going on with you? Where have you written to?"

Lin Tian is puzzled, how did a half-hour’s worth of exercises take two hours...

"I...I’m working on this problem..."

Gan Yanyu says anxiously.

When Lin Tian takes her exercise book, suddenly feeling a wave of darkness,

Is this the third problem?!

She hasn’t even finished the first page!

"I can’t solve this problem..."

Gan Yanyu covers her face, full of worry, "Why must X equal Y? Can’t they both be beautiful on their own?"

"It’s not about separate beauty..."

Lin Tian is speechless, "Why not skip this unsolvable problem and move on to the next?"

"If I can’t solve this problem, I’ll be uncomfortable for a long time..."

Gan Yanyu whispers,

"Besides, if this isn’t done, I haven’t really completed the three pages, right..."

"So you’ve been writing for two hours?"

Lin Tian gasps.

He finally discovers Gan Yanyu’s problem.

Her mind seems even more stubborn than imagined!
