Xia Chengzong didn't answer Xia Chuyi's question, but instead spoke calmly, "Chuyi, school has already started. From today onward, you should do less work and read more books, study harder, and strive to get into college early and leave Ling County!"
His eyes still held a deep anger.
"Um, brother, actually working doesn't affect studying..." She tried to explain.
"Who says it doesn't affect studying?" Xia Chengzong glared at her, "A student should look like a student! You shouldn't use work as an excuse to escape from studying!"
"And since you've chosen to study, you need to try even harder!"
Xia Chuyi: "…Um, well, brother, I'm just registered in name, I wasn't planning on going to school."
"No excuses for laziness!"
Xia Chuyi: …
She always felt like she was being scolded by a parent for trying to skip school.
"I will closely monitor your studies!" Xia Chengzong added finally.
"…All right." She could only helplessly accept.
