Chapter - 86 - From Scratch

Tang Li felt that she had been creating reasons and telling white lies daily to conceal her differences from the original owner, which was taking a toll on her brain cells.

After pondering for a while, Tang Li couldn't come up with a perfect excuse. She had to make up a story that she had learned from an older educated youth in their village, and he had encouraged her to be smart!

However, Yi Minghuan was no fool and seemed suspicious, even about her knowledge of medicine.

Yet, she recalled Yi Minghuan's promise to her - he wouldn't delve into her past or harm her, and he was genuinely curious about her intelligence. He was even happy for her to have and learn medical skills.

Listening to those words, Tang Li was moved. She recognized that Yi Minghuan genuinely considered her his wife, trusted her, cared for her, and defended her.

She, too, regarded Yi Minghuan as a close partner, someone she could trust, and whom she wanted to help grow and improve.

Therefore, she believed that, apart from the space secret, she didn't need to hide too much from him, as long as her reasons were somewhat reasonable.

"Hey, Minghuan, let me teach you. I know most of the mathematics, physics, and chemistry," Tang Li hesitated and bit her lip as she spoke.

"You will?!" Yi Minghuan was genuinely surprised and turned to look at her in the darkness, attempting to discern her expression. "How would you know?"

"Because I learned from an old educated youth in the village before. Do you believe that?" Tang Li replied.

"...I don't believe it," Yi Minghuan shook his head, his lips twitching.

"If you don't believe it, then don't," Tang Li waved her hand nonchalantly. "I believe it. Anyway I'll teach you mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Do you want to learn?"

"Learn!" Yi Minghuan replied without hesitation, despite the awkwardness of being taught by his wife.

However, this awkwardness was insignificant compared to the potential for changing their fates through learning.

Yi Minghuan knew that the only shortcut in front of him was to wait for the resumption of the college entrance examination and then enter university to restore his reputation and honor!

'If Tang Li can help him achieve this goal, he can only be grateful,' he thought.

"Then, tomorrow, I'll assess your baseline knowledge, and we'll go from there," Tang Li said.

"Are you sleepy now?" Yi Minghuan asked, his tone holding a hidden expectation.

"...Not yet. Do you want me to assess your knowledge right now?" Tang Li was indeed a little sleepy, having woken up early and going through a long day, but she didn't want to disappoint Yi Minghuan or dampen his enthusiasm.

"In fact, I don't have a good foundation in studying but I can understand simple mathematical formulas. I've never studied chemistry, but I have some experience in physics," Yi Minghuan confessed.

With determination, he got out of bed, lit the kerosene lamp, retrieved his junior high school math book, and said, "I have to start from scratch!"

"Then we'll start from scratch!" Tang Li lifted the quilt, sat up, and waved at him. She confidently held the math book in her hand and assured him, "With me here, I guarantee you'll learn."

"Thank you," Yi Minghuan smiled, filled with gratitude, and felt fortunate to have married someone so capable and versatile.

He was genuinely happy and content to have a little fairy as wife!
