After truly considering Qingran as a competitor, knowing that Qingran has been making rapid progress recently, Xie Ying'an's attitude towards studying was no less than Qingran's.
It almost brought Old Wu to tears of sour emotion.
When Xie Ying'an entered Qingran's room with books, Qingran didn't know her brother hadn't come home tonight. Ever since she won first place in her grade, she knew that Li Qingmo had been avoiding her these past few days.
Fearing that she would catch him and give him a hard time.
Xie Ying'an and Qingran sat together at the same desk as usual, answering questions until about 9:30. They saw no sign of Li Qingmo, nor heard any noise indicating his return.
Qingran was somewhat puzzled, thinking she was too absorbed in her studies to notice her brother's return.
She put down her pen, rotated her slightly sore wrist, and asked Xie Ying'an who was still working: "Did you hear my brother come back?"
Xie Ying'an's pen paused, and he didn't look up: "No."
