Chapter 9 Mom, why are you here?
daughter.
bedroom.
big bed.
A blond-haired boy whose situation is unknown.
There were also strange noises coming from inside the house...
"hateful!"
If Director Jiang had a kitchen knife, he would have chopped it right in.
At this moment, her eyebrows stood on end, her almond eyes widened, her hair stood on end in anger, and her blood boiled. She entered a state of intense passion. She grabbed a sandalwood shoehorn that was more than a meter long from the shoe cabinet, assumed a standard golf swinging posture, and kicked it out, forcefully opening the door to her daughter's bedroom.
The heavy sandalwood shoehorn was incredibly hard; a single blow could break even the head of an iron wolf, let alone the mortal Little Yellow Hair.
"This is……"
The scene inside the room was far different from the picture that Director Jiang had imagined.
……
"Look at this essay; you've gone off-topic."
"This has nothing to do with knowledge; it's simply human nature."
"Writing a good essay that is refreshing and impressive is not a difficult thing. The key is to grasp the core of the material, understand the intention of the question setter, and then write something unexpected within the bounds of reason."
"In that case, not getting a high score would be considered collective cheating by the examiners."
Ye Kai probably never imagined that one day a top student like Shen Jiayi would humbly ask him for advice on learning Chinese.
It's important to know that before his rebirth, Shen Jiayi was the absolute academic star who topped the class, including in Chinese language.
"That seems reasonable, but how exactly do we implement it?"
Shen Jiayi nodded, but felt that Ye Kai's words were too general and did not provide very specific guidance.
For example…
Let's analyze this article...
Ye Kai casually picked up an essay prompt and planned to work with Shen Jiayi to analyze the prompt's intent based on his proposed theory, and then provide a solution.
In fact, he had some ideas for a long time. He believed that the materials for the college entrance examination essay could be deconstructed in the same way as the eight-legged essay, and then the answers could be made in the same way. He could basically get a satisfactory high score.
"etc."
"You always tell me you're a reincarnated person, so you should know what this year's college entrance exam essay topic was, right?"
Shen Jiayi suddenly grabbed Ye Kai's hand as he flipped through the materials and asked a question that struck at the heart of the matter.
"Well?"
Ye Kai turned his head to look into Shen Jiayi's eyes and found that the academic beauty's eyes were full of smiles. She was obviously pleased that she had caught Ye Kai by the nose and felt self-satisfied that she had unexpectedly given Ye Kai a difficult problem.
"I must say, you've really given me a tough problem."
"Although it's true that I'm a reincarnated person, the consequences of leaking college entrance exam questions are too serious. If I really did that, I can't guarantee that you wouldn't use it as leverage to blackmail me. In the future, if you tell me to go east, I wouldn't dare to go west, and if you tell me to chase a dog, I wouldn't dare to catch a chicken."
After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Kai shook his head, realizing the trap Shen Jiayi had set for him.
He knew Shen Jiayi all too well.
Although the two never had any close physical contact afterward, their relationship could be described as that of half-brothers, far exceeding the feelings of a typical married couple.
The reason the two didn't end up together was simply because they were both heartbroken from past emotional traumas and cherished their hard-won friendship as classmates.
The person who understands Ye Kai best is not the current Shen Jiayi, but the person who understands Shen Jiayi best is definitely the current Ye Kai.
"You're so cunning."
"They're using the bottom line of the law to excuse themselves, and I can't find any fault with them."
Shen Jiayi smoothed the strands of hair that had been tossed in front of her eyes and wrinkled her nose.
"but……"
"According to publicly available information, the college entrance examination question-setting process usually begins in May each year, specifically from the end of April to the beginning of May, and lasts for about half a month."
"The test question setting work is organized by the National Education Examinations Authority, which selects front-line high school teachers to participate in the test question setting, followed by fine-tuning and printing."
"The teachers who set the exam questions were strictly restricted from communicating with the outside world during and after the exam to prevent leaks. The printing of the exam papers was also carried out in a confidential environment, reportedly inside a prison."
Before Shen Jiayi could say anything more, Ye Kai suddenly continued.
"So, what exactly do you mean by all these irrelevant topics?"
Shen Jiayi looked at Ye Kai with some confusion in her eyes.
"What I mean is actually very simple."
"It's only January now, and the college entrance examination question-setting process hasn't even started yet. So even if I tell you the college entrance examination essay topic, it's not considered leaking state secrets. At most, it's just a normal act of prediction."
Ye Kai smiled slightly.
"You're so clever!"
"predict!"
"So you're not a reincarnated person at all, you're just a charlatan!"
Upon hearing Ye Kai's explanation, Shen Jiayi couldn't help but praise him.
"Cough cough."
"Then let this charlatan tell you a short story. Based on this story, write an essay of about 800 words."
"The story goes that once upon a time, there was a ship owner who hired a painter to paint his ship."
"After the painter finished painting the boat, he also patched up the holes in it. Not long after, the boat owner brought the painter a large sum of money. The painter said that he had already been paid. The boat owner said that this was money to thank him for patching the holes in the boat. The painter said that he had just patched them up. The boat owner said that when he learned that his children had gone out to sea, he knew they would not come back because of the holes in the boat. Now they have returned safely, so he wanted to thank him."
Ye Kai's thoughts drifted into his memories, and he then recounted the little story.
"This story is quite interesting."
"Why do I feel this was a premeditated murder? Perhaps the ship owner knew his wife was cheating on him and that none of the children were his biological offspring, so he allowed the leaks on the ship to go unaddressed?"
"Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why an experienced ship owner would prioritize surface work like painting while ignoring a major safety hazard like a leak in the ship."
"This...doesn't make sense!"
After hearing the story, Shen Jiayi's mind was blown, and she immediately began to analyze and make various connections.
"So you're also suggesting that the ship owner paid the painter a large sum of money as hush money, to keep him from spreading rumors?"
Ye Kai chuckled.
"Isn't that right?"
Shen Jiayi countered with a question.
"No wonder your essays have always been a weak point; now we've finally found the problem."
"You turned a perfectly positive and inspiring essay into a crime thriller. You're really something else."
"Strictly speaking, the college entrance examination essay is not to test your skills, but to examine whether your outlook on life, values and worldview are consistent with mainstream society."
"You can write your college entrance exam essay with flair, but you absolutely cannot be wicked. So put away your 'Little Conan' style from Xinghua No.1 High School and be a proper scholar."
"To get a high score, you need to provide the examiners with sufficiently compelling and safe emotional value."
Ye Kai rolled up the test paper in his hand, tapped Shen Jiayi on the head, gave her a stern lecture, and then earnestly admonished her.
"ah--"
Although it didn't hurt, Shen Jiayi still cooperated by holding her head and screaming.
Suddenly, she solved her long-standing problem of not being able to get high scores on essays, and she also got material that Ye Kai said was this year's college entrance examination essay topic. The academically gifted girl was indeed in a very good mood, and doing something silly was also good for her mood.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, the bedroom door was kicked open.
Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi, who were playfully bickering, looked towards the door in astonishment.
A mature and beautiful woman, dressed in a gray cashmere business suit, a short skirt that went past her knees, and black stockings, was angrily carrying a shoehorn that was more than a meter long and as thick as an egg, blocking the exit of the bedroom.
"What are you doing?!"
Two beams of anger, like death rays, shot from her eyes toward the bewildered Ye Kai.
"mom?"
"Why are you back!"
Shen Jiayi's astonished expression was mixed with a sense of fear and unease.
