Chen Qiao woke up to the sound of his sister reading again.
When could he wake up hugging his sister?
Every night, his sister hugged him to sleep, and Chen Qiao wanted to turn over and be the master.
But except for weekends and winter vacations in the cold winter, when my sister might sleep in or stay in bed, I have no choice but to get up earlier than her and stay up all night is one solution.
Chen Feifei stopped reciting the Water Melody and said, “Are you awake already? I was just about to wake you up. I thought of all kinds of ways to wake you up, but none of them worked.”
“How about I sleep again?”
Chen Qiao asked half-jokingly.
“OK.”
Since his sister wanted to play, Chen Qiao naturally had to play with her.
Chen Qiao fell back on the bed and closed his eyes, wondering how his sister would wake him up?
Pinch his nose?
Shake him gently?
She probably won’t slap me, but stepping on my belly or riding on my body are things only my younger sisters would do.
Chen Feifei lay on the bed, supporting her body with her hands, leaning forward and lowering her head.
Her long black hair, which had not yet been tied up, hung down and fell on Chen Qiao’s face and pillow, making her feel itchy.
Chen Qiao could hear his sister’s breathing getting closer and closer.
He couldn’t help but frown, swallowing his saliva, and feeling a little nervous.
“Huha…”Chen Feifei blew hot air into Chen Qiao’s ears and whispered softly, “Lazy boy, it’s time to get up and memorize your lessons…”“Wow.”
His sister was so gentle that it was a little chilling.
Chen Qiao shuddered, opened his eyes, sat up against the head of the bed, and looked at his sister’s snow-white skin and delicate collarbone under her collar.
“How is it? Is the effect significant?”
Chen Feifei, whose prank was successful, said with a sly smile, shaking her scissors hands left and right in victory.
Seeing his sister showing the familiar yet unfamiliar naughty side, Chen Qiao also smiled.
This was what he wanted to see, the shocking sound.
“It’s because I’m awake, otherwise such a light sound wouldn’t have woken me up. Sister, please give me your first grade English book. I need to memorize some words.”
“Are you starting to recite the freshman textbooks now? Are you working so hard?”
Chen Feifei asked in shock.
Has her brother really changed?
“I already know everything in elementary school. I have to learn English again in junior high school anyway, right? As long as my English vocabulary is improved, many problems can be solved easily.”
“That’s right.”
Chen Feifei took out her first-grade English book and handed it to Chen Qiao.
Chen Qiao opened the vocabulary list and started memorizing the words.
“No, no, this word should be read like this…”Chen Feifei corrected Chen Qiao’s pronunciation. Her pronunciation and spelling were more standard than Chen Qiao’s.
Chen Qiao was the type who knew the results but not the reasons.
He had no idea how to spell at all. He read based on his feelings and memory.
He learned dumb English that he could understand and write.
Chen Qiao repeated it with him.
Seeing that he also read the next word badly, Chen Feifei simply sat next to Chen Qiao, holding the book, and led him to read English.
She asked him to repeat it twice, and then taught him how to memorize words by himself, such as Chinese transliteration association or word combination.
“Sister, don’t you have to recite the text anymore?”
“I already knew how to recite it, I just want to recite it a few more times to remember it better and keep up the habit of reading it in the morning.”
My sister has become Chen Qiao’s English reading machine, pointing out the parts that he doesn’t understand.
After memorizing more than twenty words, Chen Qiao still wanted to continue memorizing new ones.
“Have you remembered everything?” Chen Feifei asked suspiciously.
“Then let me test you.”
Chen Feifei spoke Chinese and asked Chen Qiao to spell out the English words, disrupting the order.
“I really remember them all.”
“My sister taught me well.”
“Hehe, of course.”
Chen Qiao felt that his memory had improved a lot after his rebirth. It might be his illusion.
His memory was good when he was young, which was different from his state when he was old.
Of course, these English words are relatively simple and commonly used.
Chen Qiao already has some impression of them.
With the help of his elder sister, who is an advanced tutor, he would be really in trouble if he couldn’t remember them.
The alarm clock rang urgently.
Happy time is always so short.
It’s time to go downstairs to wash up and have breakfast.
Chen Feifei took off her nightgown and changed into school uniform in front of Chen Qiao, not treating him as an outsider at all.
Well, he is a family member, a younger brother, and indeed not an outsider.
Chen Qiao was very conflicted.
He should have reminded his sister, but he was enjoying the benefits and perks of being a little kid.
I can’t let it go.
What if I can’t see it anymore?
Chen Qiao was wondering why he couldn’t see it before he was reborn.
It should be because he slept late.
It was not uncommon for him to not get up until 7:20.
If his sister called him to get up early, he would still be in a bad mood.
Naturally, he couldn’t enjoy the sight of his sister changing clothes.
The younger brother who wakes up early has his sister to watch over him!
Chen Qiao was still changing into his school uniform in bed.
His young body was getting restless.
He didn’t know when his two first times would come.
He had to wash his underwear in the middle of the night, which was a bit troublesome.
There are eggs in today’s breakfast.
This is what Chen Qiao strongly requested.
One egg a day will strengthen the body, help grow taller earlier, grow up earlier, and become an adult earlier.
My mother had thought about cooking eggs for Chen Qiao before, but he didn’t like them, so my sister naturally had some too, as they were all laid by our own hens.
“You don’t tie your red scarf properly.”
Chen Feifei untied the red scarf from Chen Qiao’s neck and tied it again.
“Can’t you just put it on?”
Chen Qiao was indeed too lazy to wear his red scarf properly, and was also enjoying the process of his sister putting it on him.
His sister took the initiative to move her face closer to him so that he could see the fine down on her face.
He greedily sniffed her fragrance.
I was walking to school in the morning light and met Ye Qinglan on the way.
She was waiting for her sister at the intersection.
It would have been hard not to meet her.
I was walking to school in the morning light and met Ye Qinglan on the way.
She was waiting for her sister at the intersection.
It would have been hard not to meet her.
It’s the way to school again, surrounded by older sisters.
I didn’t meet Wu Xinyu today.
When Chen Qiao came to the classroom, Lin Na had already arrived and was reciting words in a low voice, writing while reciting.
Considering the accident that happened when he was drilling under the table yesterday afternoon, Chen Qiao waved and greeted Lin Na obediently this morning. The same tactic cannot be used all the time, so he will drill again after two days.
“Lina, good morning.”
“Good morning, Chen Qiao.”
Lin Na stood up and wanted to walk to the aisle to give up her seat so that Chen Qiao could enter.
Chen Qiao naturally would not give her this opportunity.
He quickly pushed his body in. The two of them squeezed together, rubbing their bodies against each other.
This was also one of the things Chen Qiao looked forward to doing most every day.
Chen Qiao looked at the classroom monitors on the blackboard.
It was already the third group’s turn.
It would be his and Lin Na’s turn soon.
The sanitation area was just the second group’s turn.
Starting from the third grade, each class is assigned a sanitation area, which is chosen by drawing lots by the class teacher.
No one is willing to clean the large playground and the ramp leading to school, one reason being that there are too many fallen leaves, and the other being too much snack garbage.
The sanitary area of Chen Qiao’s class is the stairs of the teaching building.
It is quite standard and needs to be cleaned early, otherwise the stairs will be full of people.
The last class in the morning was an art class.
The teacher was a bald man in his forties.
His wife was an art teacher at the middle school.
The couple ran an art class in the town.
The class fees were not expensive, and they also sold various brushes and paints.
Not to mention the tuition fees, the cost of painting materials is not something that any ordinary family can afford.
The art class is about to end, and the homework is to draw a random picture and hand it in in the art class two weeks later.
It will serve as the final grade.
Other courses will also be completed one after another, and finally summarized on the report card, which will be evaluated as excellent or passing according to grades.
The head teacher will also write comments on each person.
Lin Na took out her art book and pencil, drew a few strokes and then erased them with an eraser.
She repeated this several times.
The drawing paper became bumpy, thinner, and wrinkled, as if it would crack at any time.
Lin Na turned to a new page of drawing paper, supported her chin with one hand, and turned the pen back and forth with the other hand, her brows furrowed.
“Haven’t you decided what to draw yet?” Chen Qiao asked.
“Um.”
“Can you show me your old drawings?”
“Don’t laugh at me, I can’t draw well.”
“No, even if it’s worse, it’s still much better than mine. Didn’t you get a lot of A-s? I can only get a good + at best, and most of the time I get a good -.”
Chen Qiao started flipping through the pages from the beginning.
The first drawing was a sketch of a sphere.
For an elementary school student, the shadow was quite good.
Then came the cylinder and the desk.
These three drawings were homework assigned in class.
The rest were free creations.
A blooming sunflower, painted with cheap watercolor pens, but it has already taken shape.
The sun is a very classic way of painting.
There are also various imaginative paintings, the underwater world with colorful fish, the rainbow-like night sky, and paintings of Totoro and the magical girl Sakura.
Although she has not received professional training and has many problems with the lines, because the colored pencils have a limited range of colors and the colors are monotonous and repetitive and cannot restore the character, it is still possible to see Lin Na’s love and talent for painting.
“Your paintings are pretty good. I think some of them can win awards. Why don’t you participate in the competition?”
“It’s impossible to be selected.”
“You can have more confidence in yourself. Let me show you mine. You can laugh, but don’t laugh too loudly or other students will hear you. Shh…”Chen Qiao raised his index finger to his lips and took out his art book.
The first page was also a sketch of a sphere.
The sphere was not round and the shadow was a mess.
The free creation was even more unbearable to look at.
He drew a Naruto, and only the Konoha logo matched, not to mention the Battle Greymon.
Lin Na should also be considered a small 2D audience.
Let’s talk more about this aspect in the future and watch Hayao Miyazaki together.
We will have more common language.
“Linna, can you teach me how to draw?”
“Why do you suddenly want to learn to paint?”
“Look at my transcript, except for art, which is a good, everything else is A. Doesn’t that one good seem glaring?”
“I see, but I’ve never taught anyone to paint, and I don’t know how to teach.”
“Once I find the subject I want to draw, you can just give me some guidance. I can also teach you math and help me think of something good to draw. You’ve seen my level.”
When it comes to drawing two-dimensional characters, Chen Qiao should have some basics.
For a while, he wanted to be a cartoonist, and later he wanted to be an illustrator.
He drew illustrations for his own novels, taught himself a little by watching videos and reading materials, and even bought a digital screen and a digital tablet.
Most of his works were poor, and in the end he didn’t even write a novel.
“I will try my best. You have helped me so much, and I want to help you too.”
“Let’s make a pinky promise.”
Chen Qiao stuck out his little finger under the table, secretly, as if he was doing something bad.
“OK.”
Lin Na responded with a trembling voice, and also stretched out her little finger to hook it with Chen Qiao’s little finger, shaking it up and down.
When Lin Na and Chen Qiao’s eyes met, she looked away guiltily, but her little fingers were hooked even tighter.
The distance between the two people narrowed a little bit.
