(Part 1)

'What are you talking about, trying different methods? First, try to avoid ranking in the bottom 100.'

Ning Su's somewhat blank expression clearly conveyed this message.

Ning Changfeng almost burst out laughing on the other side.

In his impression, Ling Xiao had always been mysterious, powerful, and unfathomable. Who could have imagined that there would be a time when he'd be holding a [Primary School English Vocabulary] book with a bewildered look on his face?

Ning Changfeng said, "Ling Xiao, this is your nephew's heartfelt gesture. You should start learning."

Ling Xiao: "..."

His gaze shifted from the [Primary School English Vocabulary] book to Ning Su.

The young man had just taken a bath, and his hair, still damp, was pressed down softly by a towel. His delicate eyebrows were slightly lowered under his widow's peak, with his gaze barely visible through his long lashes, making it hard to discern the emotions in his eyes.

The only thing visible was a rare, slight tension in the curve of his thin lips.

Ling Xiao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he had an urge to smooth out that curve.

He sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, and opened the [Primary School English Vocabulary] book.

At some point, the only sound left in the dormitory was the sound of pages being turned.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao's blanket moved, and two round bulges appeared, squirming forward.

Before long, two children crawled out from under the blanket, one on each side of Ling Xiao, and sat beside him to study the [Primary School English Vocabulary] book together.

Ling Xiao: "..."

Ling Xiao slowed down his page-turning.

The [Primary School English Vocabulary] book looked thick, but it actually contained a few words, along with many cute illustrations and crooked "straight" marks.

Ling Xiao paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Gui Sheng.

Gui Sheng was pointing at himself with his little gray finger, silently mouthing, "It's mine!"

Ling Xiao: "..."

He thought to himself, in a school full of top students, where did this [Primary School English Vocabulary] book come from?

After finishing the book, Ling Xiao looked up at the person in front of him.

That person had long fallen asleep peacefully resting on his own bed.

Ling Xiao pressed his temples and struggled to fall asleep with the two children.

It was after 2 AM when everyone in the dormitory finally went to bed.

"Gulp--"

"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp--"

In a daze, Ning Su heard the "gulp" sound again, more frequent and clearer than the previous night.

It sounded like something was falling bit by bit into a lake.

Or like something was eating, swallowing some strange food into an empty stomach.

Ning Su opened his eyes and saw that on the bed opposite him, in the middle on the left side, a figure was sitting rigidly and silently.

It was Zhou Xiang.
