Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Brother!
There are many small cliques among the girls in the class.
But Du Huaixi is different.
She’s one of the rare pretty girls who isn’t bratty at all. She’s pure, innocent, and full of curiosity.
Therefore, Junjun doesn’t have a bad impression of this little sister and doesn’t find it unacceptable.
Having one more younger sister isn’t a bad thing.
But it seems——
This little sister seems to not know yet that he’s her brother.
Du Huaixi’s eyes are particularly beautiful, with long, naturally curled eyelashes. Her eye shape is distinctly like Du Shaoheng’s, but when she smiles, she has perfect crescent-shaped eyes like her mother.
From a certain angle, Junjun can also feel that Du Huaixi’s features have some resemblance to his.
After all, they are biological siblings.
Perhaps this is the most magical aspect of genetics.
Junjun said, “Why did you suddenly ask this question?”
Du Huaixi replied, “I happened to overhear a conversation from my parents’ room once. But I didn’t hear the full details, just that my dad had been with your mom before. Is it true that we have the same dad?”
Junjun raised an eyebrow: “Do you want me to be your brother?”
Du Huaixi said, “Hmm, how should I put it?”
She seriously thought about it: “Having a brother isn’t a bad thing. If you really are my brother…”
Her eyes suddenly lit up: “Then I’d have a brother to play with!”
Her eyes were filled with excitement.
Previously, Han secretly told her that when he was too lazy to do homework, he would copy Junjun’s.
If Junjun were her brother, then she’d have a brother to help her with her homework!
Although Du Huaixi is very smart and does her homework quickly, to her, homework is very simple but not challenging, yet she still has to do it.
On top of it, she’s too obsessed with drawing mazes, which are time-consuming to design.
But with a brother, she wouldn’t have to worry about her homework!
Du Huaixi sneakily calculated in her mind.
Junjun, however, was puzzled by her reaction: “When you say ‘play,’ do you mean play with the mazes you drew?”
Du Huaixi nodded vigorously: “I’ve drawn lots of them. Do you want to play?”
Junjun: “…”
Seeing Junjun’s conflicted expression, Du Huaixi suddenly appeared disappointed: “Don’t you like mazes?”
Junjun said: “No… It’s just…”
Du Huaixi’s response left him in a mix of laughter and tears.
What kind of thinking does this guy have?
If she just wanted someone to play mazes with her, any classmate would do.
Junjun originally thought that if Du Huaixi found out they were half-siblings, she couldn’t accept it. After all, everyone hopes to be the sole apple of their parents’ eye, and he worried Du Huaixi might be concerned that his presence would take away some of her dad’s love.
But she didn’t seem to have such worries.
Or maybe, Du Huaixi has never lacked love since she was little. Whether it’s Du Shaoheng or Guan Yue, they have given her ample love and companionship. She grew up surrounded by fatherly and motherly love, which gave her complete security and a desire to share.
Only those who lack love instinctively hold onto love tightly.
Whereas Du Huaixi has abundant love, she knows how to love others, even if a sudden appearance of a “brother” takes away half of her love, she wouldn’t be scared.
Junjun said, “Didn’t your mom tell you about this?”
Du Huaixi shook her head.
Junjun said, “Then I can’t tell you either.”
Du Huaixi: “Why can’t you tell me?”
Junjun said: “If it were okay to tell you, your mom would have told you already.”
Du Huaixi pulled on his arm: “Tell me, tell me…”
“Du Huaixi?”
The teacher suddenly called her out from the podium as she noticed Du Huaixi was distracted: “Please explain your approach to this problem.”
Du Huaixi stood up nervously.
She had been so engrossed in talking to Junjun that she hadn’t opened her book and didn’t even know which problem the teacher was discussing——
“A bus travels 60 kilometers at 20 kilometers per hour, and returns at 30 kilometers per hour. What’s the average speed for the entire round trip?”
Junjun opened the book and pointed to one of the problems.
Du Huaixi glanced at it and immediately said: “Answer: First calculate the total kilometers traveled round trip, which is 120 kilometers. Divide by the total hours taken for the round trip. It’s known that going takes 3 hours and returning takes 2 hours, which totals 5 hours. Divide 120 kilometers by 5 hours to get the average speed…”
The teacher’s face froze for a moment.
This is unbelievable.
She clearly saw Du Huaixi’s book hadn’t been opened just a moment ago.
The teacher said, “Then come up to the board and write down the formula for solving this problem!”
Du Huaixi calmly walked up to the podium, picked up the pen, and wrote out the solving formula stroke by stroke on the electronic screen.
The teacher was astonished and praised, “Du Huaixi did a great job, go back to your seat!”
Du Huaixi silently sighed in relief and returned to her seat.
She looked at Junjun puzzled: “How did you know which problem the teacher was discussing?”
Junjun said: “My left ear was listening to you talk, and my right ear was listening to the teacher’s lesson.”
Du Huaixi: “…”
He can actually use his two ears to multitask like that?! Receiving separate pieces of information??
Du Huaixi was utterly amazed: “So, is it true? Do you and I have the same dad?”
Junjun said: “If I answer ‘yes,’ would you start calling me brother?”
Du Huaixi teased: “Do you want me to call you brother?”
The two little ones started a tug of war.
Junjun said: “If you’re willing to call me ‘brother,’ I’d certainly be willing to hear it.”
Du Huaixi: “If you help me with my homework, I’m willing to call you ‘brother.'”
Junjun: “…” She actually wants to negotiate terms with him.
But what kind of terms are these?
Is she really waiting for him here?
Junjun said: “If you call me ‘brother,’ I can help you with your homework.”
Du Huaixi’s eyes immediately lit up: “Really?”
Junjun was amused by her expression: “I’m not lying.”
“Brother!!”
Du Huaixi excitedly shouted out, afraid that Junjun would take back his words in the next second!
Junjun didn’t expect her to be so straightforward and crisp, and it was still in the classroom with the teacher on the podium. Her sudden “brother” drew the attention of the surrounding classmates.
The teacher’s attention was immediately caught by her call: “Du Huaixi?”
Du Huaixi immediately covered her mouth and stood up obediently: “Here.”
The teacher suddenly realized: “Wait a minute, you seem to… not be sitting in that seat, right?!”
Du Huaixi stuck out her tongue and quickly swapped back to her seat with Junjun’s desk mate.
