――Are humans a fast-growing species

While Mu Le was taking a nap at noon, Gu Mingyuan was looking up relevant information.

After all, the faster you grow up, the faster you get old. And... the faster you leave.

Although the lifespan of pets is generally much shorter than that of their keepers, there are very few pets in the world that can always accompany their keepers.

But there are exceptions, such as turtles...

At least, he wants to know a more accurate figure.

There is no specific data in the official human data, but there are similar records in some ancient texts and paper books - the lifespan of humans is not much different from that of orcs.

This is really amazing.

After a long period of evolution, the orcs' bodies have basically freed themselves from the limitations of their original race after reaching adulthood.

Although their body sizes and growth rates vary, the normal adult orc is between 1.5 and 2 meters tall.

Those who are too tall or too short are relatively rare.

It is also because of this evolution that animals that had very different lifespans in ancient times have stabilized their overall lifespans within a similar range after becoming orcs.

If humans were similar to orcs...

Namuluo shouldn't have grown up so fast.

In just a few days, he grew more than 5 centimeters taller.

Gu Mingyuan made up his mind.

Before giving the little one a bath, take her to the hospital again.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time this afternoon.

He had something urgent to do before, so he asked Kong Hean to help take care of Mu Le.

On this day, Kong Hean had another urgent mission.

The parents of Kong Hean's previous generation are away all year round, and he has been busy taking care of his cousin who has not finished his homework yet when school is about to start.

Today is the last day.

Kong Hean felt that it was hard to feel at ease when no one was watching this brat.

He might as well send his younger brother to Gu Mingyuan in person and ask Gu Mingyuan to help watch him do his homework.

Gu Mingyuan had no objection to this.

When Kong Hean brought his cousin Kong Yuan over, Mu Le had just woken up from a nap.

She was wearing the new white pajama set that Gu Mingyuan had bought for her.

The kind with puff sleeves and pumpkin pants.

He rubbed his eyes and went out to see who had come to his house.

Even when he just woke up, he didn't forget to put on the dragon horns.

Gu Mingyuan stood at the door, looking down at the boy who was a head shorter than him, and nodded silently as a greeting.

The boy was carrying a cross-body bag, and his coat and pants were hung with various strips of cloth or metal chains.

That face was the beautiful and handsome one that ran in their family.

…like a very cool rebellious girl.

Mu Le poked his head out from behind Gu Mingyuan and looked at the young man in front of him curiously.

Kong Yu'an and Gu Mingyuan didn't have much to say to each other. Although he didn't admit it, he was indeed a little intimidated by Mr. Long.

Today was the day I had to finish my homework, so going to the other person's house to do my homework was a last resort and also a natural thing to do.

He planned to say nothing and finish all the homework for the holiday at the speed of light under the pressure of Mr. Long.

… But.

What little thing is hidden behind this fierce Mr. Long?

The little fellow peeked at him curiously.

"Le Le." This was the first time Gu Mingyuan called her name so formally. "This is Kong Yu'an, Kong He'an's cousin. He is doing his homework at our house today."

Mu Le: “…”

It seemed like the first time I heard him say such a long sentence.

Kong Yuan: “…”

Is it the rare time you say a long sentence just to expose my secrets

The scene suddenly turned into one of a stern parent and two furtive little kids peeking their heads out.

However, strict parents talk less.

He remained silent, except for wrapping Mu Le in a long, bulky robe before she could run around in her pajamas.

Gu Mingyuan didn't need to go out this afternoon, so he sat in the study to work.

Kong Yu'an was leaning on the sofa doing his homework, and Mu Le was sitting not far from him reading a book.

The young man was holding a light-sensitive pen and impatiently writing and drawing on the light screen in front of him.

Booker went to take a peek, then came back and said to Mu Le, "He's doing his interstellar language homework, and his handwriting is so ugly, even uglier than your drawing."

Mu Le: “…”

She doesn't think her handwriting is ugly.

Each one of them is drawn round, aren’t they cute

Gu Mingyuan was watching not far away, and Kong Yu'an felt that the pressure was indeed quite great.

He finishes his homework 50 percent faster than at home.

Soon all the interstellar language homework was finished, leaving only mathematics.

Mathematics is harder to climb than a mountain.

Kong Yu'an felt bored and annoyed.

Gu Mingyuan needed to make a video call after finishing some things.

Usually he would type directly in the study.

But this time there was a little kid in the study doing math problems.

Gu Mingyuan thought for a moment, then stood up and prepared to go out.

Before walking to the door, he turned around and gave Kong Yu'an a warning look.

Kong Yu'an lowered his head and pretended to do the questions seriously: "..."

Gu Mingyuan had just closed the door when Kong Yu'an tilted his head and saw Mu Le coming over.

Mu Le was so scared that he quickly turned off the screen.

"Little sister." Kong Yu'an talked to Mu Le, "What are you looking at?"

Mu Le asked him back: "What are you looking at?"

She took advantage of the situation and moved over to look at Kong Yu'an's screen.

Kong Yuan showed it to her openly: "Math homework. Do you understand it?"

Mu Le: “…”

It's really hard to understand the complexity.

But I can still understand that you factored and simplified the equation incorrectly.

Mu Le raised his head and asked him seriously: "Why is 3 plus 7 equal to 9?"

Kong Yu'an was stunned, thinking she was playing some kind of brain teaser: "... Why?"

Mu Le: “…”

With his IQ, he would definitely get into an accident if he made a sharp turn.

"I don't know." Mu Le pointed at his math homework, "Didn't you write it?"

Kong Yuan: “…?”

He lowered his head and double-checked his factorization.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner of the first half, I saw a section called 2y?(3x+7x).

In the next step, it becomes directly 2y?9x.

Kong Yu’an: “…” Why

Because of this step, all his subsequent simplifications and calculations were wrong, and the whole thing was in vain.

Kong Yu'an scratched his hair irritably and turned to look at Mu Le: "How did you figure that out!?"

"…Maybe it's because." Mu Le's voice was small, "I have eyes?"

Kong Yu’an: “…”

This kid is so scary.

He continued to do his homework, but whenever Mu Le looked at his light screen, he would become very nervous, fearing that he would make a mistake and be laughed at by a little kid.

In his mind, Mu Le has become synonymous with child prodigy.

Some even thought that she was a new artificial intelligence created by the military, and was kept at home by Gu Mingyuan for observation and improvement.

Mu Le saw that he was working slower and slower, and it was almost time for dinner.

This little peacock’s math homework progress is… only up to [3/27].

One summer vacation, a 27-page test document.

He has only made it to the third page.

Once again, when Gu Mingyuan was leaving the study, Mu Le quietly poked his head in and asked him, "Why don't you copy your classmates' work?"

Kong Yu’an: “… … …???”

"Is it because no one did it?" As soon as Mu Le said this, he felt it was very possible and silently confirmed it in his heart.

But there are always a few students in a class who will do their homework in advance.

Homework that can be copied is like gold in the sand.

As long as you are willing to look for it, there is always something.

"You little brat. How can the teachers at Capital University High School be fooled so easily?" Kong Yu'an came close to her and whispered in a low voice, "Are you trying to trick me into copying your homework and then report it to the police and frame me?"

Mu Le: "... Why do you miss me so much?"

Kong Yu'an snorted coldly: "You are so good at math, your brain circuit must be extraordinary."

Mu Le calmly reminded him: "Three plus seven equals ten is elementary school math."

Kong Yu’an: “… … …”

It's such a shame.

Being frequently humiliated in mathematics by such a cute little girl.

Fortunately, the child is still young.

By the time she goes to middle school, he should have graduated from the middle school department.

Otherwise, if he were to be her classmate, he would be so angry that he would die prematurely.

Perhaps because he was still filled with resentment, Kong Yu'an sped up his homework.

Mueller saw some obvious mistakes.

She refrained from speaking it out loud.

Kong Yu'an thought about it, then came over and asked her, "What grade are you in?"

"I don't know either..." Gu Mingyuan hadn't told her the result of the placement test yet, "Maybe third grade?"

Kong Yu'an counted on his fingers.

They have seven years of primary school and five years of secondary school. He is in the first year of secondary school this year.

Mu Le was only in the third grade, which meant that he would graduate when Mu Le went to middle school.

… … It was so dangerous.

Just as he finished calculating the bill, Gu Mingyuan pushed the door open.

I was caught off guard and saw two children with their heads close together, whispering to each other.

Mu Le: “…”

It’s over. I got caught disturbing middle school students while they were doing their homework.

Mu Le slowly backed away, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

However, Gu Mingyuan stared at her and whispered, "Le Le, come out for a moment."

Mu Le: “…Oh.”

This is so infuriating.

It's like two kids were caught talking in class, but the teacher only picked one of them to stand in the corner as punishment.

Mu Le followed Gu Mingyuan to the door of the room.

Gu Mingyuan was thinking about how to tell Mu Le about that matter. When he turned around, he saw Mu Le standing behind him with his head lowered. He looked like he had made a mistake and was caught. He felt aggrieved and dared not speak.

Gu Mingyuan, who had no intention of blaming her, said: "..."

The little guy always likes to get away with it with a self-righteous attitude. If he looks dejected at this time, it must be that he has really made some mistake.

But no one told her not to talk to Kong Yu'an.

What mistake could she make

… Gu Mingyuan’s limited imagination made it completely impossible for him to imagine that Mu Le would instigate middle school students to copy other people’s homework.

He lowered his head and asked Mu Le: "Are you unhappy?"

Mu Le was obedient and insisted on pretending that nothing had happened: "Huh? No."

Gu Mingyuan had no doubts.

He pulled a small e-reading device from his pocket and asked Mu Le, "Do you like math?"

Mu Le was really stunned this time: "What?"

"If there is anything you don't understand about what I'm going to say next, you can ask about it at any time," said Gu Mingyuan.

Mu Le nodded.

"I'm going to Capital University next month, so I won't be able to take care of you all the time. Capital University Affiliated High School now has a children's specialty class." Gu Mingyuan said slowly, "If you pass the exam, you can go to school there. We can move and live near Capital University."

Mu Le: “…”

And so on.

Isn’t this grade skip a bit too fast
