After the mother and son confirmed that they would not betray each other, they encouraged each other and decided to confront each other during the evening self-study. Because they were worried about something, the two of them behaved strangely all day, and even Gu Quan noticed something was wrong: "Qi Muyang, are you... sick in the brain?"
"You are the one with a mental illness!" Qi Muyang turned his head and retorted. After catching a glimpse of Qi Weichen, he immediately turned his head back and added, "If you are sick, get treatment!"
Gu Quan looked at the back of his head speechlessly: "Where are you looking when you talk to me?"
"What do you care about me?" Qi Muyang felt guilty and didn't dare to face Qi Weichen, but he couldn't help but talk back to Gu Quan.
Gu Quan sneered: "I don't care about you."
"Don't use 'Laozi' to describe yourself," Qi Weichen glanced at him calmly, "There is only one Laozi here."
During this period, Gu Quan and Qi Muyang's relationship has improved a lot. They often quarreled and bickered. This was the first time that Qi Weichen joined them. Gu Quan was still quite intimidated by this classmate. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"
"I." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Quan's mouth twitched, not sure if he was joking or serious. Qi Muyang in the front row heard his father's words and wiped his sweat silently, thinking that he was becoming more and more unscrupulous.
The bickering between the two primary school kids was accidentally interrupted by their parents, and they could no longer quarrel. After his ears were quiet again, Qi Weichen looked at Chu Qing who had been silent, and put his hand on her forehead.
Chu Qing was startled: "What's wrong?"
"Your temperature is normal. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Qi Weichen looked at her and asked.
Chu Qing coughed dryly: "I don't feel uncomfortable."
"Then why didn't you add fuel to the fire when they were arguing?" Qi Weichen stared at her.
Chu Qing was speechless: "What kind of image do I have in your mind?"
Qi Weichen thought for a moment: "Are you afraid that the world will not be in chaos?"
Chu Qing: “… Thank you so much for thinking so highly of me.” After saying that, she lowered her head to look at the test paper, looking like she was studying hard and refusing to be disturbed.
Qi Weichen paused, his eyes moved away from her thoughtfully and stopped on the back of Qi Muyang's head.
The strange atmosphere continued until the evening self-study class began. After the family of three finished dinner, when Qi Weichen was about to return to the classroom, he was stopped by the mother and son.
"I, we have something to tell you." Chu Qing said with a grunt, and did not forget to secretly poke Qi Muyang after she finished speaking.
Qi Muyang quickly agreed: "Yes, I have something to tell you."
Qi Weichen looked at them silently for a moment, then said slowly, "Go ahead."
"Right here?" Chu Qing hesitated. At this moment, they were standing on the road not far from the supermarket. It was dinner time and there were people coming and going, so it was not quiet.
Qi Weichen said calmly: "I'll give you one minute."
"One minute is not enough?" Chu Qing protested.
Qi Muyang, the follower, also shouted: "Yes, one minute is not enough!"
Qi Weichen glanced at the time: "50 seconds left."
Mother and son: “…”
"45." Qi Weichen reminded.
Chu Qing realized that if she didn't say anything, she would run out of time, so she quickly said, "We have discussed and decided to start reviewing on our own today and not use your study plan!"
She concluded with a long sentence, and found that she had said everything she wanted to say. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Qi Weichen put down his phone and looked at her expressionlessly: "Say it again."
"… I can't remember the sentence because it's too long. Anyway, I will study on my own initiative. The final exam is coming soon, so you should spend more time reviewing." Chu Qing pretended to be doing this for his own good.
Qi Weichen stared at her for a moment, then looked at Qi Muyang: "Do you think so too?"
"I, I listen to my mother." Qi Muyang silently shrank behind Chu Qing and said with one breath.
Chu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Qi Muyang didn't betray her. She was more confident when she spoke again: "We are good at different subjects, so we can complement each other. Besides, you taught us a lot of study methods before. I think we can learn independently."
"Yes, if there are questions we don't understand, we can just search for problem-solving videos online. There will be no problem." Qi Muyang added.
Qi Weichen was silent for a while, then he spoke slowly: "Are you planning to rebel now?"
Mother and son: “…”
"I can promise you." Qi Weichen said carefully.
Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, she heard him say indifferently: "But you have to prove that you have the ability to learn first."
"How to prove it?" Chu Qing asked quickly.
Qi Weichen looked at her and said, "I'll give you a week to study on your own. If you can learn half a unit in all subjects and get 80 points in each quiz, you'll be considered successful. If you fail, just follow the study plan and don't raise any objections."
Chu Qing was calculating in her mind. If they followed Qi Weichen's study plan, they would have to learn two-thirds of the unit in the next week. Now, they were required to study one-half of the unit on their own. In total, the workload was reduced a lot and it wasn't too difficult for them.
She calculated it in her mind and thought it was appropriate, so she immediately agreed: "Okay, we will definitely be able to finish learning it!"
"Yes! I can finish learning it!" Qi Muyang agreed without thinking.
Qi Weichen glanced at them calmly and walked into the classroom with a calm face. The mother and son waited until he was far away before they clapped their hands excitedly. Qi Muyang was happy but also a little worried: "Mom, can we really finish learning?"
"This is much less than what's on his study plan, he will definitely be able to finish it," Chu Qing patted him, "We can help each other, it's no problem."
"Ok!" Seeing how confident she was, Qi Muyang immediately relaxed as well and walked towards the classroom with her in a good mood.
When the two entered the classroom, Qi Weichen had already sat down, but the seat he sat in seemed a little wrong. Qi Muyang paused for a moment and walked over hesitantly: "Dad, you are sitting in my seat, right?"
"Don't you want to study together? Let's change seats to make it more convenient for you to study." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Qi Muyang frowned: "But Chen Xiu..."
"I'll temporarily teach you for a week."
When Qi Muyang heard this, he immediately stopped worrying and said thank you with a smile, then he couldn't wait to sit down next to Chu Qing. He returned to his old seat after a long absence, and even if Gu Quan was on the other side, it couldn't affect his good mood. Chu Qing was also very happy, and the mother and son seemed to have picked up something cheap.
Gu Quan looked at them suspiciously: "Does your family have any hereditary mental illness?"
"none of your business?"
"You talk too much!"
The mother and son spoke at the same time, and after they finished speaking, they couldn't help but clap their hands, praising each other's tacit understanding. Gu Quan glanced at them speechlessly, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were mentally ill.
After the excitement, the mother and son began to make study plans seriously. They finished all six subjects in one class and started to review the timetable during the break.
"From this perspective, we don't need to learn much every day." Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
Qi Muyang nodded: "Yes, it's much easier than before, we will definitely be fine!"
The two of them started the first day of study with great confidence. However, they had no problem reviewing the previous knowledge, but they suddenly got stuck when they started learning new lessons. Before, Qi Weichen would simplify the textbooks, list the knowledge points one by one, and then explain them with detailed annotations. However, now that this convenience is gone, they must first find useful knowledge points from textbooks and reference books, and then try to understand them on their own.
This adds a lot of steps, and time is often wasted on such things. By the time the two of them officially start reading, it is often already afternoon. In order to complete the day's learning tasks, the two of them have to study hard and don't even dare to delay going to the toilet. Only then can they reluctantly go through all the contents briefly before evening self-study, and then start practicing questions.
The biggest trouble is practicing the questions.
“…You’re so good at English, but you can’t even answer this question?” Chu Qing asked in a bad mood.
Qi Muyang looked at her innocently: "I can, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Didn't you explain it very well to Chen Xiu before?"
"That's because..." Qi Muyang paused and lowered his voice, "I explained it the way my father did. He hasn't taught me the type of question you asked me, so how can I explain it to you?"
Chu Qing was speechless: "Forget it, I'll find a video to solve the problem."
"Don't be in a hurry. Tell me this math problem first." Qi Muyang hurriedly put the book in front of her.
Chu Qing looked at his book and frowned: "I remember I have done this question before. I think you wrote the wrong answer."
“… It’s because I wrote it wrong that I came to ask you.” Qi Muyang said helplessly.
"Wait, let me take a look," Chu Qing said, not quite confident, struggling to think, "Should I convert the units first, or should I eliminate the letters first..."
“… Big Brother, please confirm it first before telling me.”
"Who is your big brother! I'm your mother!"
"Okay, okay, okay, you can do anything for me, can you please explain it to me?"
The mother and son were talking to each other in a quarrel, while the treacherous ministers and others nearby fell into deep thought.
After a while, the little fat boy asked the question first: "The boss is too fond of Master Chu, isn't he? He can even tolerate her saying she is his mother?"
"If you can't bear it, how can you beat him?" the treacherous minister asked back.
The little fat boy thought about it and stopped worrying. He then asked another question: "Isn't Qi Shen helping them with their studies? Why don't they go to Qi Shen if they have any questions?"
"I don't know either," the treacherous minister said, poking Gu Quan beside him, "Daju, do you know what's going on?"
"... You keep giving me a random nickname." Gu Quan looked at him speechlessly.
The treacherous minister sneered: "Did I say anything when I called him a treacherous minister?"
Gu Quan thought so too and immediately didn't want to argue with him. After taking a look at the two people in the corner, he lazily said to them, "It seems that they have given up Qi Weichen's study plan and decided to study on their own."
"Study on your own?" The little fat man raised his voice for a moment, then quickly lowered it, "Are these two crazy? How do they want to study on their own?"
"Looking at the way they look, they should be helping each other?" Gu Quan didn't know much either, so he spoke uncertainly.
The little fat man was speechless for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he said with a smile: "The last and the second to last, help each other?"
The treacherous minister concluded: "These two must be crazy."
Chu Qing and Qi Muyang were really going crazy. They had only thought that studying on their own would be much easier than following Qi Weichen's plan, but they had never thought about how difficult it would be to rely entirely on themselves. Although there were fewer tasks, the efficiency was much lower. The most miserable thing was that the two of them dared not be idle for a moment. As a result, not only were they more tired every day than before, but their progress was also not as fast as before.
After only three days of self-study, the two of them couldn't help but give up.
Chen Xiu saw how hard they were working and couldn't help but look for Qi Weichen again: "God Qi, why don't you continue to help them with their lessons? They look so tired now."
"They like to study on their own." Qi Weichen's voice was flat.
Chen Xiu laughed dryly, "They probably don't like it now. The final exam is coming up soon, and they must be anxious. How about you just let it go and continue teaching them?"
"Wait a little longer." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes.
Chen Xiu was curious: "What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for them to come and beg me." Qi Weichen moved his fingers, and an unspeakable joy flashed in his eyes.
Chen Xiu: “?”
The author has something to say: Chen Xiu: Why can’t I understand what Qi Shen is thinking every time
Qi Weichen: Oh, my wife and son are as fun as ever.
