107 Is Your Sister Not Here at All?

“It’s all for Uncle and Auntie, they aren’t too expensive.”

“Thank you, Little Ci.”

“It’s okay, Auntie.”

Lu Zhi placed the fruit platter in front of Lin Ci. “Little Ci, have some. It’s almost time for lunch, so stay and eat with us.”

!!

Lin Ci did not decline.

While the three of them chatted, Lu Jingzhi still did not call Lu Ning out.

Just as Lu Zhi was about to get up to take a look, Lu Jingzhi came out from the room and went straight to Lin Ci.

When he got closer, he tugged at her. “Sister, my sister asked you to wait for a bit. Can you help me look at my homework first? There’s a question I don’t know.”

Looking at the adorable face in front of her, Lin Ci could not find it in herself to refuse; she nodded.

As Lu Jingzhi dragged Lin Ci to his room, Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci discussed what to cook for Lin Ci for lunch.

…

Lu Jingzhi pulled Lin Ci into his room; his desk was covered with test papers.

Lin Ci was startled. “You have so much homework to do?”

Lu Jingzhi nodded.

Lin Ci: “Aren’t you only five?”

Lu Jingzhi pulled her over to a chair.

“These are all third-year papers. Are you… really only five years old?”

Moreover, the test papers had already been done. From the handwriting, it did seem like it was written by a child.

But…

Lin Ci took a look at Lu Jingzhi.

Lu Jingzhi also looked at her, and smiled. He casually pointed at an applied question at the back.

“This, I don’t know.”

Lin Ci was still in a bit of a daze, but she turned to look at his paper.

No wonder Lu Ning said her brother was smart; still, I didn’t expect him to be this smart.

After taking a look, Lin Ci thought about how to explain it to him.

Then, in a gentle voice she explained the question to him.

Lu Jingzhi stood obediently at the side and listened.

“Can you understand that?”

Lu Jingzhi nodded. He could not pretend that he did not know anything, so after clarifying it a couple times more, he wrote down the answer.

Then, he pointed out a few more questions, and Lin Ci explained them to him one by one.

“Try it yourself first. I’ll go see why your sister isn’t up yet.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi immediately stopped her. “Sister! I didn’t understand this part just now!”

At first, Lin Ci did not think much of it; she came back and explained it to him again. However, after having gone back and forth several times, Lin Ci felt that something was odd.

Lu Ning isn’t someone who would make people wait.

Did something happen?

She looked at Lu Jingzhi. This child looks quite composed, but every time I wanted to leave he would get flustered. Something must be wrong!

This time, since Lin Ci figured him out, she was not in a hurry to leave. She sat on his bed and watched him slowly solve the questions; then, she casually took the other papers he had done and leafed through them.

Actually, these papers are all similar, and the questions are all the same. However, why could he do these, but not the ones on the others? He must be pretending.

Lu Jingzhi was writing down the answers, stroke by single stroke. Never had he been so slow and meticulous before.

Lin Ci also saw through him; she put the papers in her hand aside and looked at him.

Lu Jingzhi felt her gaze and looked over; after a moment of surprise, he smiled at her.

Lin Ci was not fooled by his smile. She stood up and said, “I’ll go take a look at your sister.”

Lu Jingzhi instantly hopped down. “Wait a minute, I think I made a mistake just now. Sister, help me take a look again!”

He held onto Lin Ci, and she turned to look at him. This time, she did not follow him to explain the questions to him; instead, she stared at him—an intense glint in her eyes—and asked, “Is your sister not in her room at all?”
