Chapter 82 2/2

Stand up and apologise: “Sorry, Professor Jiang, I was distracted just now.”

Jiang Li’s eyes gently swept over. “Oh? You’ll be questioned in the next class.”

Cen Lang’s mood was complicated. Is this what Jiang Li meant by “don’t regret it”?

He can’t answer incorrectly every time. It’s not just about losing face; if he can’t answer, it might affect Jiang Li’s reputation among students.

Academically hijacked.

Other classmates looked surprised. The handsome guy looks elite, but it turns out he struggles with studies. What a contrast!

Knowing that teachers often say, “Can’t answer? Let a classmate next to you answer,” who dares to sit next to the unlucky one?

“Sit down.” Jiang Li gestured to someone standing out in the crowd.

Cen Lang saw people around him acting as if they didn’t know him, and he was being manipulated by little Jiang.

This isn’t like failing an exam and avoiding punishment; it’s about focusing in class and dedicating five minutes of attention to each lesson.

Medicine is complex, but interesting. After a semester of classes, listening to the same lectures again makes it easier to understand.

Evenings after kindergarten, Jiang Li and Cen Lang go to pick up their child.

The little one comes out first, proudly stating, “Dad, I’m the leader.”

“Hello, Leader Dad,” the other kids cheer.

“Hello, everyone.” Jiang Li is surprised by the group of kids. He never went to kindergarten; the kids in his memory weren’t this friendly. But kids are naturally adorable.

Little Jiang proudly declares, “My dad really likes you all. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,” the little ones chorus.

Jiang Li crouches down to Jiang Wangxing and asks, “Son, are you happy in kindergarten?”

The little one responds, “Happy.”

Jiang Li: “If you’re happy, Dad’s happy too.”

Little Jiang, “I’m happy every day!”

Jiang Li: “That’s great. Dad is happy every day too.”

Except for the times when Cen Lang can’t answer questions in class.

Under little Jiang’s strict supervision, at the end of the term, Jiang Wangxing gets a certificate from kindergarten, and Cen Lang gets a passing grade.

Another paper to write, and Cen’s training journey is successfully completed.

The paper requirement is at the undergraduate level: around 3,000 words to pass plagiarism checks.

Cen Lang promised to write it but hasn’t started in two years.

He didn’t enrol to write a thesis. After accompanying Jiang Li for two years, he’s seen him handle unexpected situations during class, like a student fainting or the principal suddenly supervising from the back door.

He doesn’t need to accompany me anymore. As for graduation, He can just lie to Jiang Li and say that he graduated.

Until the military academy sends his deferred graduation certificate home.

Jiang Li stands at the yard gate and opens the letter, pupils shrinking—a deferred graduation notice—the first time he’s seen one in his life.

The four-year period has passed, and Cen Lang hasn’t graduated.

At this moment, Jiang Wangxing’s Chinese teacher calls, politely greeting.

Jiang Li puts the letter back: “Hello, Teacher Liu, I’m Jiang Wangxing’s dad.”

Teacher Liu says, “I’m correcting papers and noticed Wangxing didn’t write his essay. I checked the exam footage; he wasn’t too late but didn’t want to write. I wanted to discuss this with you.”

The top-notch elementary school progresses quickly. Seeing Jiang Wangxing adapting well, Jiang Li allowed him to skip a grade.

In second grade, they have to write a 300-word essay.

Jiang Li politely says, “Okay, I’ll ask him the reason and give you feedback.”

Jiang Li hangs up, enters the house, and finds Cen Lang teaching Jiang Wangxing martial arts.

After they finish, Jiang Li gives the little one a glass of water and asks with a smile, “How many points do you think you’ll get on the final exam? Dad will reward you no matter how much.”

Jiang Wangxing asks, “Dad, is it okay if I fail Chinese?”

It turns out he knows himself.

While asking “Why?” Jiang Peng grabs the troublemaker, trying to slip away.

Jiang Wangxing says, “Dad, because I don’t feel like writing essays.”

Cen Lang:…

In the darkest moment of Little Jiang Doctor’s life, the little one fails Chinese because he doesn’t write essays, and Cen Lang is deferred for not writing a thesis.

Jiang Li explains, “Dad doesn’t necessarily want you to excel, but he hopes you have a basic level of education to enjoy broader happiness.”

Then he throws the two into the study and says, “Don’t come out until you both finish.”

Little Jiang and Cen Lang look at each other.

Cen Lang suggests, “I write your essay, and you write my thesis?”

Jiang Wangxing agrees, “Okay, Dad.”

Sounds interesting.

Cen Lang adds, “Dad’s thesis is 3,000 words.”

Little one:…

Cen Lang pats his head. “You still need to study, or else you’ll owe a graduate thesis before finishing elementary school.”

Cen Lang quickly writes a 300-word essay for elementary school and hands it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li:…

Cen Lang says, “No big deal, just like Meng Mu moving three times.”

That summer vacation, Cen Lang handed Little Jiang to General Meng, who loves writing official documents and making speeches, solving all the genetic legacy issues related to the college entrance exam in Chinese, the civil service exam essay, and the political science entrance exam.

Jiang Li is amazed; it’s also a method!
