Lin Lu still underestimated the psychological self-regulation ability of the elder sister in front of him.
After realizing that what was in front of her was not a small problem, but a huge difficulty, she didn't know where she got the energy from. She sat up straight little by little, and held on to the delicate bridge of her nose.
The black-rimmed glasses that didn't match her face shape slowly made her expression more determined, and after a while, her whole person returned to her energetic look.
Unlike little girls who need to be taken care of emotionally, Lin Lu admires Li Xingruo's ability to regulate herself mentally. She is truly worthy of being a big sister. This firm look in her eyes has a special charm.
"...Sister Xingruo, is everything okay?"
"Eh? What can I do..."
"I thought you would be shocked and lose confidence when you heard that I was so bad at math."
"How come."
While Li Xingruo took the materials to review, she said in her "experienced" tone: "If it weren't for the difficulty, you wouldn't come to me for help with tutoring. How can there be so many easy things in this world?
, I won’t be knocked down easily, don’t worry, I’ll leave everything to my sister!”
She looked a few years older than him, and was more than half a head shorter than him, but she said these words with a look that clearly needed to be protected. Lin Lu didn't find it funny, but rather because of it.
Deeply shocked.
Li Xingruo looked at him, her confused expression swirling around her delicate eyebrows in the form of fine lines, as if she was quite puzzled by this word.
At first, the two of them would keep a distance from each other, but as the lecture progressed, their shoulders and arms bumped more and more frequently...
Heart-to-heart talk can very well shorten the distance between two people. In modern society, even if people have many friends, only a handful of them can talk to each other.
"The domains of different functions are different. You must remember the domains of different functions. For example, look at this..."
When he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, she would not criticize him, but would be more patient in helping him find out why he made a mistake in solving the problem.
"A better, freer, broader world, the belief that you can make your own decisions about your own life. Sometimes I will be defeated by the heat, sometimes I will lie in a warm bed and not want to get up, and sometimes I will be overwhelmed by boredom."
If I don’t start, whenever this happens, I will use this strength to push through!”
"Sister Xingruo, how do you understand this?"
There are no ambiguous scenes like those in action movies. Even if the two of them sit side by side, their bodies maintain a reserved distance from each other.
"Sister is really nice."
After adjusting his mentality first, he would get twice the result with half the effort during tutoring. Only then did Lin Lu understand the biggest difference between the tutor he had hired before and Li Xingruo.
"So what does Sister Xingruo, who is a topic writer in a small town, use as her spiritual source?" Lin Lu asked curiously.
"Well, I just want to become like Sister Xingruo and learn from Sister Xingruo." Lin Lu gave a nonsense explanation.
Li Xingruo will help him teach him the basic concepts, definitions, and even the skills of memorizing formulas and the connection with other knowledge points in great detail. Then he will find some examples for him to practice and help him sort out the knowledge points clearly.
Li Xingruo's explanation was very detailed, and her voice was soft and gentle. Even if Lin Lu still didn't understand something after listening to her once, she would still patiently explain it the second and third time.
The empty living room was slightly cold, and Lin Lu's shoulder felt comfortable, making Li Xingruo feel that the air around him had become warmer.
"Sister Xingruo, what about this question..."
"So that's it..."
At first, Lin Lu was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand, but gradually, he asked confidently and boldly. Compared with listening to the math teacher at school who only focused on his own lectures, Lin Lu suddenly discovered that these basic knowledge
It doesn't seem that difficult, even though he really doesn't have much talent for math.
After going back and forth, Lin Lu became more confident. He felt that he had finally caught up with this ghost thing called mathematics. The feeling of being able to keep up with Li Xingruo's thinking actually gave him a wonderful feeling of fusion.
The little girl thought about it again. She always felt that this word was strange, but also very fresh. A progress bar called "Brother's Degree" seemed to be inserted into her mind. She thought about the appropriate progress setting.
"Because I was infected by Sister Xingruo, now I have become just like you, full of confidence! My 'sister degree' is slowly rising!"
Sure enough, I can't keep up with the thinking of young people. New vocabulary comes one after another.
"Your question is a mistake in reviewing the question. Success lies in reviewing the question, and failure lies in reviewing the question. You must grasp the key points of the question. For basic questions like these, although you feel simple, the calculation must be slow, otherwise the calculation will be wrong, and a series of problems will follow.
Wrong..."
Whenever Lin Lu finished the simple examples she gave him, Li Xingruo would sweetly praise him and say, "That's right! Lin Lu, you learn very quickly!"
Li Xingruo thought to himself that in order to become a great person, he must at least get rid of cleaning the office and printing documents for his seniors...
"Brother Du..."
After taking a bath, Lin Lu had a faint fragrance of shower gel on his body. His new school uniform also had the fragrance of washing powder and sunlight. Li Xingruo especially liked this smell, as if he was basking in the sun.
Counseling cannot avoid being in close proximity, and occasionally the shoulders or arms between the two people will touch.
The little fat cat couldn't understand the question, but that didn't stop it from falling asleep listening to the two people's small voices, the rustle of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, and its big fluffy tail occasionally twisting, and it looked like it was sleeping happily.
"... If Sister Xingruo takes herself as a role model, isn't she too narcissistic? You can try it and add a 'younger brother degree' to yourself."
Because Lin Lu's mathematics foundation was really poor, there was no shortcut way to tutor him in mathematics. Li Xingruo helped him sort out all the required knowledge points for him bit by bit.
"Eh?"
"That sounds amazing."
"Yes, you have to have confidence in yourself! But what is the 'older sister' you are talking about? Is it a new term unique to high school students nowadays..."
"But, it's a good thing that you have a role model! Although I can barely be your role model." Li Xingruo wanted to put his hands on his hips and be arrogant. After all, he was only twenty-two years old, and he had become a role model for others.
The next second, Li Xingruo's confusion disappeared as if evaporated, and his expression became relaxed and happy: "Then my own 'sister degree' is not 100%?"
"I'm still far away."
After chatting for a while...it's not really chatting. Between students and teachers, this is usually called a 'heart-to-heart talk'.
This was an experience Li Xingruo had never had before. It was novel to her, her heart beat faster, and her ears hidden in her hair felt slightly hot...
Similarly, whenever he listened closely to Li Xingruo's lecture, Lin Lu could smell the fragrance of her hair, which had a faint jasmine fragrance.
Occasionally, if she moved a little too much, the soft hair on her shoulders would slip down, and the tips of her hair would gently brush against the back of Lin Lu's hand, causing him to feel a numb and itchy feeling.
That soft and moist hair seemed to be a concrete manifestation of his own characteristics, causing ripples in Lin Lu's heart...
