Chen Zilong perked up when his sister was mentioned, mimicking Xiaoqian with enthusiasm and looking for props to make his impression more authentic.

“I need a prop, where can I find glasses…”

“Use this.” Yu Minglang took his sunglasses out of his jacket pocket.

Chen Zilong put the glasses on his nose.

This kid wasn’t great at studying, but he had a knack for acting. His imitation of Xiaoqian’s aloof demeanor was quite accurate.

He pushed the glasses up with one hand and coldly mimicked Xiaoqian, “Chen Zilong, how can you not know how to do such a simple problem?”

Taking off the glasses and playing himself, he put his hands together to beg for mercy, “Sis, I really don’t know how…”

Putting the glasses back on, he continued to mimic Xiaoqian, striking the air with his hand, “Do you know how now?”

Taking off the glasses, he continued to play himself, showing an almost tearful expression.

“Sis, I really don’t know…”

With the glasses on, Chen Zilong imitated Xiaoqian again, one hand twisting his ear and the other hand slapping his mouth, “Do you know how now, do you know how now, huh? If not, I’ll slap you until you do! You can’t even solve such a simple problem, how dare you waste air!”

Yu Minglang’s mouth twitched at the comers.

Chen Zilong took off the glasses and looked at Yu Minglang with a bitter face, “Really, that’s how she treats me. For a single question, she only explains it once. If I don’t understand, she doesn’t bother explaining a second time, she just beats me until I do.”

Chen Zilong wasn’t exaggerating. Xiaoqian really did hit him like that, and he didn’t dare fight back. Half the time Xiaoqian tutored him, she was hitting him.

“My sister wasn’t like this before. Ever since she broke up with her former brother-in-law…”

Yu Minglang was still listening with a smile at first, but when he heard the harsh words “former brother-in-law”, his face instantly darkened. Chen Zilong quickly changed the subject.

“Since she broke up with that scumbag, the worst soft-shelled turtle in the world, her personality changed completely. She became more violent, and she often glared at people with a cold expression.”

“She’s a very gentle girl; you’re just too naughty.”

Chen Zilong stared, thinking his sister was gentle?

But seeing Yu Minglang’s intoxicated expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Damn, his goosebumps were showing even at night.

“Well, future brother-in-law, I’m already calling you brother-in-law, and I’ve lost my textbooks. So, can we not study anymore?”

“Get some paper and a pen.”

Yu Minglang stretched out his hand, and Chen Zilong hurriedly took out a pen and paper. Yu Minglang sat down at the desk, and Chen Zilong tried to find a chair to sit on, but Yu Minglang stopped him.

“You stand up, it’s clearer when you stand up – don’t worry, I won’t hit you like your sister does. Now, let me lecture you on high school physics, pay attention — first, the mechanics part…”

Yu Minglang spoke and wrote at the same time, his writing speed extremely fast.

“Hold on! Brother Lang, what are you writing? Your handwriting is too amazing, and I can’t understand it!” Chen Zilong protested.

Yu Minglang stopped writing and lowered his head to take a look. He switched the pen from his left hand to his right hand, and his flowing cursive transformed into neat regular script.

Chen Zilong was amazed.

“Wow, you can write with both hands?!”

“Left hand cursive, right hand regular script. I use my left hand more often, but you can also practice using both hands; it’s helpful for developing both sides of your brain. I trained both hands because I needed precise control with both hands when I was in my old unit, and I used to write for fun.”

Chen Zilong felt challenged again. Playing around led to this level of skill; was there any room left for others?

“Come on, don’t slip away, pay attention. The definition of force, the measurement of force, the three elements of force – these are the main exam points…”

Yu Minglang fully demonstrated what it meant to be a top student. No textbooks?

No problem, teach!

He effortlessly summarized a semester’s worth of material into a study outline, explaining it gradually from shallow to deep, and giving interesting examples. For instance, Chen Zilong was interested in firearms, so Yu Minglang used physics formulas to explain how a sniper could make a successful shot from a kilometer away. He also talked about how optics were used in scopes, opening Chen Zilong’s eyes to new possibilities.

No boy would dislike such knowledge; it turned out that learning could be applied in these areas too.

When Jia Xiufang called Yu Minglang to eat, she was surprised to see her son discussing problems with him. Her son was actually interested in textbooks for once!

“Who says scholars are useless? Even the army now requires a complete high school education. Of course, when I led the team back then, only one person had a high school education, everyone else had higher levels of education. Later on, when we had to learn about demolition, those without a cultural background couldn’t keep up. Many people who were very talented got eliminated because they didn’t have a strong foundation in cultural subjects.”

Yu Minglang patted Chen Zilong on the shoulder, “Going to school may not be useful, but reading books can give you more options. High school is the minimum. Follow the review I wrote for you, and I’ll come teach you something else next time.”

“Great! You’re much better than my sister; all she knows is how to hit me…” Chen Zilong felt that he learned so much from talking to Yu Minglang.

Xiaoqian came out of her room and glanced at Chen Zilong, “I’ve been sneezing nonstop, have you been complaining about me?”

“Not at all, Brother Lang’s explanation was great. I’ll show you the knowledge points he wrote for me if you don’t believe me. From now on, Brother Lang will be my tutor, and I might even pass my exams.”

Chen Zilong eagerly wanted to go into his room and get the paper Yu Minglang wrote for him, but Jia Xiufang stopped him.

“Stop showing off and let your Brother Lang eat. We can talk after dinner.”

Chen Zilong didn’t go into his room to fetch the paper for Xiaoqian to see.

Xiaoqian looked at Yu Minglang with a half-smile, “I’ve heard you’re more suitable for teaching people than I am?”

“I learned it all from you, right, leader?”

“Flattery.” Xiaoqian glared at him and turned to Lily Tang in her room.

“Shuixian, let’s eat a late-night snack together.”

“No… I can’t eat anything.” Lily Tang shook her head. It was her first time seeing such a serious and funny man.

“Are all the people from your old unit like you?” She asked because she thought of the man her father forced her to go on a blind date with, who also worked in Yu Minglang’s old unit.

“Everyone’s quality is similar, but their personalities do differ.”

Yu Minglang responded.

“Oh… Chen Xiaoqian, I’m planning to go back to the hotel. I’ve agreed to work part-time as you said, so let’s arrange a meeting place.”

“Let’s meet at the entrance of the International Trade Center. Here, take this.” Xiaoqian took a partially melted frozen pear from the basin on the radiator.

“I don’t want to eat it…” Lily Tang shook her head.

“Just try one bite, just one. It tastes different from the one you had earlier that wasn’t completely thawed.”

As soon as he heard about eating, Chen Zilong’s spirits rose, “When it’s frozen, you need to bite into it slowly, using your teeth. It looks black, right? But the fruit inside is white, and it slowly melts on your tongue like ice cream.. Once it’s melted, it’s sweeter than a fresh pear!”
