"Well, why aren't you saying anything?" Nan Yang prompted. Her interest was piqued.
I said timidly, "Teacher would smack me on my palm if I fail to memorize the things he told me to. He would only hit my left hand because I need to write with my right."
Li Yuan and Nan Yang looked at each other before they both smiled. Li Yuan began, "This Jing Tian sure is creative."
Nan Yang concurred, "7th uncle does live up to his reputation. He's really merciless."
Li Yuan was beaming with joy. "It is as they say, spare the rod and spoil the child. I need to thank Jing Tian for educating you for me."
Nan Yang asked, "Are you the only one getting beat? Or does Jing Ni get hit as well?"
I shook my head. "5th Miss is very clever, she always manages to get her homework done."
Nan Yang scoffed with derision.
Li Yuan probed, "Does that mean Jing Ni's results have improved?"
