Chapter 76: Read For a Semester

When Emily heard Second Aunt’s words, she could not help but click her tongue. Celebrate? Were they celebrating for them, or were they celebrating that Shen Nan had finally returned to school?

“It’s so fast. School will start the day after tomorrow.”

“Are you starting to look forward to it?”

Second Aunt glanced at Emily and saw that Emily was still sitting on the chair at the side. Due to her height, she could not reach the ground, so she slowly shook her legs. It was so cute.

Emily hurriedly nodded, then said excitedly, “I think I’ll be so excited that I won’t be able to sleep tomorrow.”

“You child, how can you be so exaggerated? You’re just going to study, not to do anything. Besides, some of your classmates might even cry at that time. You can’t cry at that time.”

“Cry?” Emily frowned in confusion. Wasn’t going to school a very happy thing? Why would someone cry? Did they not like studying so much?

“For example, your Sixth Brother? He’s probably going to cry in his own room right now,” Second Aunt said as she raised her head.

Emily smiled unkindly. It seemed that Shen Nan was exceptionally quiet today. Other than seeing him during breakfast, did he spend the rest of his time in his own room catching up on his homework?

“This child is good at everything, but he’s too playful. When you go to class, you must take good care of him. When that time comes, your Third Aunt will also have fewer worries.”

Second Aunt’s exhortation echoed in Emily’s ears. Emily hurriedly nodded, then patted her small chest like an adult and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Sixth Brother and study hard.”

“Millie is so sensible. And, Millie…”

Second Aunt wanted to say something but hesitated. Looking at Emily’s cute appearance, she shook her head and continued, “Forget it. We’ll talk about it after you get used to it in school.”

Emily pouted. Did Second Aunt not know that stopping halfway was the most fatal thing?

Emily did not intend to ask, but Second Aunt seemed to have something on her mind. From time to time, she would glance at Emily, and then put the realization in her hands. This made Emily even more curious.

“Second Aunt, if there’s anything you need my help with, just tell me. If I can do it, I’ll definitely help you.”

Emily could not help but feel curious. Second Aunt’s hesitant look made her feel even more uncomfortable. She felt like a cat was scratching her heart.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. You know that Xiao Yu took a break from school for a period of time. This time, he did not demote but went straight to his original class. Your grandmother was a little worried, but you also know Xiao Yu’s character. He was not willing to ask anything. I just wanted to say that even though you’re two grades lower than him, can you go and see how Xiao Yu is doing after class?”

“Is that all? Don’t worry, I’ll go and play with Brother after class. But, Second Aunt, Brother just doesn’t like to talk to people.”

“Of course, Second Aunt knows. Originally, Grandma wanted you to go to school in September. When that time comes, you’ll be in the first grade. Now that everyone else has been studying for a semester, Grandma is afraid that you won’t be able to keep up. But, Xiao Yu finally got better and agreed to go to school. Grandma is also afraid that you won’t go either. So, Millie, this time, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Second Aunt looked at Emily apologetically. Although sending Emily to school was a good thing, no matter what, it was for Shen Yu’s sake that they were in such a hurry to send Emily to school. It was not necessarily a good thing for Emily. She was afraid that Emily would not be able to keep up with the progress of her studies.

“Don’t worry, Second Aunt. Actually, you don’t have to explain. I’m already very satisfied to be able to go to school. I even borrowed Sixth Brother’s previous books to read. Don’t worry, I can keep up with the progress.”

Second Aunt looked at Emily in surprise. She felt that Emily was not like a child who had just turned seven years old. She was very sensible. It was one thing for her to be smart, but she was actually so hardworking. She felt that it would not be long before… Perhaps Emily’s score could really surpass that arrogant kid, Shen Nan.

“That’s good. Millie is really sensible.”

Second Aunt smiled with great relief, but she was afraid that Emily would be under too much pressure. She hurriedly continued, “If you have anything you don’t understand, just ask Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu will definitely be happy to give you an answer.”
