Chapter 34: I Love You, Do You Understand? (2/2)
Despite her thin frame, Shen Lingyao’s little punches were quite painful.
Yet Zhao Qingfeng found joy in it.
“Go ahead, hit me hard. I owe you so much from our last life; I’d give my life for you.”
Their playful laughter soon attracted Aunt Ding.
She came in with a plate of fruit, her face wearing a kind smile, urging them to study.
“Little Feng, focus on your review.”
“Don’t make your mother and me worry.”
“Yaoyao, teach him well. Let’s aim for the top three.”
“Then we can hold our heads high and see who dares to look down on our Little Feng.”
Zhao Qingfeng wasn’t foolish; he knew what Aunt Ding was worried about.
In his previous life, she loved Shen Lingyao so much and was so tolerant of him, never uttering a complaint. Such a good woman.
“Aunt Ding, don’t worry. If I don’t make it into the top three, I’ll…”
Zhao Qingfeng was serious, about to make a promise.
“If he doesn’t make it into the top three, I’ll strangle him. Mom, please go out; we need to study!”
Shen Lingyao joked heartily, making Aunt Ding laugh and leave after patting Zhao Qingfeng’s shoulder meaningfully.
After she left,
The two officially began their review.
The day after tomorrow was the second mock exam.
This mock exam was the closest to the difficulty of the actual university entrance exam, and the results would be highly indicative.
Shen Lingyao, biting her pen, thought for a moment. “Brother Qingfeng, your English and Chinese are the weakest. Let’s start with English. I’ll teach you grammar first. You try to make a sentence, and I’ll explain it to you.”
Zhao Qingfeng’s English wasn’t good in his previous life.
Although he had learned programming and computer English early on, computer English was entirely different from regular English.
For example, for and while loops are just English programming syntax, which can be memorized by rote.
But the English in the university entrance exam was different.
Apart from the essence of listening and writing, the most important part was the ability to comprehend reading passages.
“Let me say a sentence first. Okay, youarebeautiful!”
“What?”
“I said, youarebeautiful, it’s true!”
“Don’t sweet-talk me!”
Shen Lingyao’s pretty face reddened again. Of course, she knew how beautiful she was, receiving compliments daily.
But she was used to it from others.
When Zhao Qingfeng said it, she was secretly delighted.
But now was not the time to talk about these things.
She pinched Zhao Qingfeng hard and explained loudly, “Listen up and study well. There are mainly two sentence structures in English: subject-verb-object and subject-linking verb-complement, corresponding to ‘I did something’ and ‘I am something’ in Chinese. Got it?”
“All the word forms correspond to these two structures.”
“All complex sentence structures also evolve from these two basic ones.”
“It’s easy to distinguish. I’ll give you the simplest example.”
“For instance, the ‘I love you’ sentence that English teachers always use. I am the subject, love is the verb, and you are the object. I, love, you. Do you understand?”
“Alright, now you give me some examples!”
What!
Zhao Qingfeng didn’t catch everything, but the words “I love you” were crystal clear…
Was the little girl confessing through teaching?
So sweet!
Sweeter than any dream by a thousandfold…
Inhaling the fragrance of the young girl emanating from Shen Lingyao, looking at her cute face on the pink bear pajamas, Zhao Qingfeng was momentarily intoxicated, blushing like in a dream.
“Hey!”
“I asked you to give examples!”
“If you can’t come up with one, I won’t teach you anymore!”
Shen Lingyao also had her little schemes, trying not to blush but inevitably doing so.
This sweet dialogue, subtly woven into the lesson, brought her joy too. This was the naïve yet restrained sweetness of youth…
“Come on, what are you waiting for!”
Shen Lingyao pinched Zhao Qingfeng hard again.
