“You can see for yourself. I’m still busy.”
At this moment, Mei Jing was anxiously struggling with the problem in front of him.
Influenced by Mei Shu and Mei Yan, Mei Jing had recently developed some motivation in his studies. Although it wasn’t much, it was a significant improvement compared to his previous attitude of not caring whether he studied or not.
For example, now when Mei Jing encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, he would be unwilling to give up and would rack his brain to figure it out. This would never have happened in the past.
Mei Yan was also surprised and sneakily came over to peck at the questions his brother was working on.
“Brother, I didn’t expect you to be doing your homework seriously!”
“You talk too much.” Mei Jing glared at him without a good temper, feeling bored. He raised his hand and tossed the exam paper aside. “To hell with homework, I’m not doing it anymore. I’m going to play games for a while.”
Mei Yan was about to join in the fun, but he caught a glimpse of the slightly open door and chuckled mischievously. “Brother, aren’t you afraid of Sister catching you playing games and beating you up?”
Mei Jing felt like he had been stepped on a sore spot and suddenly sat up, glaring at him. “You little traitor, trying to betray your brother. I really wasted my love on you!”
Mei Yan cunningly rolled his eyes and said maliciously, “Brother, aren’t you going to continue writing?”
“I’m not writing anymore. Whoever wants to write can write.” Mei Jing impatiently lay back on the bed, and soon the sound effects of the game’s start screen came from his phone.
Mei Yan squinted and glanced at the door, deliberately shouting in an exaggerated manner, “Sister is back! Look at what Brother is doing!”
Mei Jing’s heart tightened, and he instinctively hid his phone under the pillow. But when he saw the mischievous smile on his brother’s face, he became angry and rushed over to teach this daring little brat a lesson.
Mei Yan ran towards the door with a cheeky smile.
Mei Jing was determined to catch him and didn’t notice that the door was pushed open. He was too preoccupied trying to grab hold of Mei Yan while issuing threats, “I’ve caught you now. I’ll skin you alive! If you dare to tell anyone about me playing games today, I’ll beat you black and blue!”
“Sister, save me!”
Mei Yan shouted as he continued to run towards the door.
The room door, which was only slightly ajar, was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Mei Shu walked into the room with a smile, blocking Mei Yan behind her. “Mei Jing, what were you planning to do just now?”
Mei Jing’s attention was still on Mei Yan, but suddenly his body stiffened when Mei Shu entered. Even though she was smiling at the moment, he could sense a hint of danger, and he thought to himself that something was not right. He quickly withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and tried to defend himself. “I was stuck on a problem and wanted to ask you about it when you came back. I also wanted to take a break.”
“You couldn’t solve one problem, so you decided not to do the rest of the homework?” Mei Shu ignored his cunning explanation and directly refuted him.
Mei Jing blushed, but his usual pride prevented him from admitting his mistake. He stubbornly retorted, “I couldn’t solve this problem, and who knows if I’ll have trouble with the ones that follow? Doing homework is so annoying, it’s inefficient. It’s better to wait for you to come back and solve the problem before continuing.”
Mei Shu glanced at him, her expression emotionless, and walked to the head of the bed. She reached out and grabbed the phone he had hidden under the pillow.
Mei Jing panicked and quickly reached out to snatch it back.
Mei Shu didn’t give him a chance at all. She grabbed his wrist and twisted it forcefully, causing Mei Jing to gasp in pain.
“It hurts! Give me back my phone, and I’ll start doing my homework right away!”
Mei Shu naturally wouldn’t give him what he wanted. She held his wrist tightly, forcing him to sit back in the chair, and then released his hand. She asked, “How much homework did you do today?”
Mei Jing felt a bit guilty as he slowly and leisurely unfolded the test paper for her to see.
Mei Shu glanced at it and realized that her little brother hadn’t completed a single test paper the entire day. He had wasted the whole day!
Mei Shu was angry and her expression grew colder. She said, “Finish three sets of exam papers tonight. If you can’t finish, you won’t be allowed to sleep!” “Three sets of exam papers? You might as well kill me!” Mei Jing immediately complained unhappily.
Mei Shu coldly curved her lips. “I won’t kill you, but I will destroy your phone. Do you want to try?”
Mei Jing looked at her increasingly forceful fingers, swallowed a gulp of saliva, and was immediately gripped by her at a vital point. “No, no, no! I’ll start writing now. But there are problems I don’t understand, so you have to teach me.”
“No problem.”
Mei Jing sulkily wrinkled his face and lowered his head to do the math problems. However, as soon as he lowered his head, someone firmly grabbed the collar of his clothes from behind. He almost got strangled by her!
“What are you doing!” Mei Jing coldly asked with an unfriendly expression.
“It’s time for dinner.” Mei Shu dropped these words and dragged him downstairs by the collar.
Mei Yan followed cautiously behind, afraid that his laziness during the day would be discovered by his sister.
At that time, he might end up even more miserable than his brother!
When the three siblings arrived downstairs, Mei Shu continued to hold Mei Jing by the collar and pulled him to a chair.
Wang Yue saw this and hurriedly called out, “You are his biological sister.. How can you treat your younger brother like this?”
