Early the next morning, Lin Hai, rubbing his sleepy eyes, was just about to go to the bathroom.

"Huh? Mingyue, why do you look so gloomy early in the morning?" Lin Hai wondered aloud.

Situ Mingyue, dressed in a small tank top nightgown, with her chest faintly visible, paid no mind to Lin Hai's gaze as she pouted with a face full of worry.

"Waah, Brother Lin, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand." Situ Mingyue sighed.

Is there really something I don't understand in this world?

"Mingyue, go ahead, spill it. I may not be well-educated, but I've got a clever mind,"

asked Lin Hai.

"Waah, the thesis, the graduation thesis, it's so hard this time. I think I'm gonna fail. And if I have to retake it, the tuition fees are really high; my family is just farmers, we don't have that kind of money."

The more Situ Mingyue spoke, the more upset and distressed she became, the crystalline tears in her eyes swirling restlessly.

This little girl seems to resent her inadequacies.

"Thesis?"

Someone who always prided themselves on their language skills.

So, he said: "Mingyue, what kind of thesis is troubling you? Let me tell you, when Brother Lin was in school, my language skills were top-notch."

"Really?" Situ Mingyue was taken aback and asked in surprise.

Didn't see that coming, could Brother Lin really be a high achiever?

Lin Hai nodded earnestly: "Really, Brother Lin's language skills, the teacher praised them every day."

"Great, Brother Lin, then help me come up with something. I'm weak in humanities but strong in sciences." Situ Mingyue, excitedly holding Lin Hai's hand, seemed to have found a lifeline.

Lin Hai was so startled that he quickly pulled back, offering his hand instead.

Seeing the unintentional strength in this grip, if he was held onto... Lin Hai swore he would definitely twitch as if struck by lightning.

However, Situ Mingyue was so happy at the moment, she didn't even realize she might have "mis-gripped" just now.

"So can I leave my thesis to you?" Situ Mingyue looked deeply hopeful, eyes filled with stars as she gazed at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai nodded: "No problem, back in middle school, my language skills were absolutely arrogant and impressive."

"..."

Situ Mingyue was taken aback.

Timidly probing, she asked: "Brother Lin, what about your education level...?"

"Middle school... didn't graduate."

Lin Hai chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head in embarrassment.

With a swoosh, Situ Mingyue's small hand retracted like lightning, leaving her starry eyes full of anger and displeasure.

"Brother Lin, remember to clean the floor today, do the house chores properly, and prepare the food to the highest standard. I'm going to class later and will check on you when I return."

What the heck?

Lin Hai widened his eyes, holy sh*t, women really are emotional creatures, changing moods at the drop of a hat.

"Middle school education, not cool, can't hold a conversation." Situ Mingyue huffed.

"Come on, even though I have a middle school education, Brother Lin is capable!"

"Strong in brick-laying?"

"...If we keep chatting like this, we really can't get along happily." Lin Hai's lips twitched in grievance.

"Hmph, mine is at least a undergraduate thesis, okay?" Situ Mingyue indignantly said.

"I know, but who knows, maybe I can really do it?"

Lin Hai blinked. Even if he was illiterate, it didn't matter, he had Judge behind him, surrounded by reincarnation company elite world-level scientists. Could they not handle a simple university thesis?

"I don't believe it, you're half illiterate." Situ Mingyue's remark was still tactful, adding "half."

Lin Hai looked woefully at the little sister, sh*t, do you really have to give me no face?

"But I know many languages, I've said this before, education doesn't define everything."

Lin Hai protested in defense.

"Oh? And you know English?"

Situ Mingyue doubted.

Lin Hai nodded.

"Really know it?"

"Of course, I'm best at Japanese." Lin Hai raised his head, boasting.

"You also know Japanese?"

This time, Situ Mingyue was truly shocked.

Didn't expect it, Brother Lin in his construction worker outfit even knows these advanced languages?

Japanese, seems like all she can say are a few daily words, not fluently.

"Then say something in Japanese for me to hear."

"Sure, 'Ha-ci-yi-ku-ka-ci, oh-a-ta-si-no-ku-ni'

???

A bunch of question marks formed on Situ Mingyue's forehead, her bright eyes filled with "can't understand."

"What's all this crying, you got Uniqlo in there too." Situ Mingyue teased.

Uniqlo? That sounds familiar? Where have I heard it?

Lin Hai scratched his head, seems like there's no such word in Japanese.

But he definitely heard it somewhere, where did he hear it...forgot.

He decided to secretly ask Judge later what Uniqlo means. Can't be too clueless in front of the little sister, that would be embarrassing.

"Uh, what's Uniqlo?" Lin Hai asked, adding: "I remember there's no such word in Japanese."

Situ Mingyue's pretty face blushed: "Never mind, I was just joking casually."

"Brother Lin, what does this sentence mean?" Situ Mingyue pursued, though by the accent, it sounded like Japanese, starting to believe Brother Lin.

Lin Hai was pondering, what exactly is Uniqlo?

Can't let this go, curiosity is piqued, gotta check it later.

"Uh, what I just said means..."

Lin Hai hesitated a bit, the meaning of those words...so pure, too embarrassed to say it in front of a girl.

Someone had a bright idea, replying: "Just means good morning, have you had breakfast, glad to see you're going to class today."

This combined with Situ Mingyue being a student, this is why Lin Hai said so.

"I see." Situ Mingyue nodded, like a small sponge, eagerly absorbing the pronunciation Lin Hai just shared, seeming ready to flaunt it to classmates.

"Then what about English? I'll say a few sentences, and you translate them, how's that?" Situ Mingyue felt he should validate one last time.

"OK, NO problem." Lin Hai patted his chest. Back then, he used fluent French-style aristocratic English to impress quite a few European and American socialites.

Then Situ Mingyue said a few simple sentences.

Lin Hai quickly translated them.

Situ Mingyue began to look at Lin with new eyes, thought hard and then said a few sentences she herself found difficult to remember.

The outcome, to Situ Mingyue's surprise, was that Lin Hai responded fluently and even corrected her grammar mistakes.

Situ Mingyue's big, adorable eyes were filled with an astonished expression, a hidden gem among the common people, Brother Lin from the construction site, even passed the fourth level in English, didn't he?

"Brother Lin, I've decided to trust you, here's my thesis, I'm counting on you." Situ Mingyue handed the thesis to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai looked down curiously at what could be troubling Mingyue.

After just one glance, Lin Hai took a deep breath, filled with righteous indignation: "The teacher who set this thesis topic is utterly deranged, incredibly tasteless!"
