Tang Yue is also growing taller, but not as tall as a boy.

She now has to look up at Jun Lingmo, or rather, she has to look up at a boy standing in front of her. This feeling is awful, so she started drinking milk every day, hoping to return to her previous life where she was at least 1.6 meters tall.

This is the bare minimum requirement, because she envies her best friend Minmin's tall stature. The two of them are like sweet girls who want to become mature women, and mature women who want to become sweet girls.

Although she never admits to being a "sweet girl," she's definitely sweeter than her best friend.

However, when she arrived in ancient times, she became a man, because all the other little girls went to learn things like dancing, playing musical instruments, chess, and tea ceremony, while she alone chose to practice martial arts.

Therefore, she can be considered the most famous "older sister" in the class.

In a way, he realized his dream.

Since starting school, Tang Yue's grades, except for arithmetic, have been terrible. As a result, she has been the focus of Mr. Wen's attention, and Jun Lingmo, a super academic genius, has been assigned to tutor her.

She asked Master Wen why he didn't let Jun Lingmo be her deskmate. Master Wen said that he would just give her some extra nutrition, and he was afraid that if Jun Lingmo sat next to him, he would lead him astray.

She shut up immediately; asking that question meant she hadn't thought it through.

When it came to assigning her homework, Wen Fuzi went further and further astray, almost like a modern-day punishment of copying something a hundred times for no reason.

Tang Yue had been doing so much homework that she felt hopeless. She looked at Jun Lingmo with her big, watery eyes.

"Ah Mo, could you please ask the teacher to give me less homework? My hand is aching from writing so much," she pleaded pitifully with Jun Lingmo, explaining that calligraphy was really too difficult to write.

Jun Lingmo couldn't resist Tang Yue's pitiful look. He lowered his eyes and looked away, smiling gently, but his words were utterly ruthless, "No, Yue, you have to finish writing these today. I'll keep you company."

Sun Erning chimed in, "Tang Yue, you really need to work on your handwriting. It's so ugly I can't even bear to look at it."

Tang Yue indulged Jun Lingmo, but not Sun Erning. "Get out of my way. If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up."

Sun Erning shrank back, fearlessly saying, "Hurry up and do your homework, or you'll be punished again tomorrow." He then slipped away without daring to stop for a moment.

Fang Zishu looked at Tang Yue, who seemed utterly hopeless, and couldn't help but smile.

Yang Jiu is a kind and adorable girl, and she speaks shyly. "Amo, how about I help A Yue write something?"

Tang Yue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Jiu is so good." She said that there is still true love in the world, but true love doesn't last long.

Jun Lingmo ruthlessly shattered her fantasy, "No, Xiao Jiu, the teacher said that you should do your own things. Xiao Jiu, you should go back and help Uncle Sheep herd the sheep, otherwise Uncle Sheep might not be able to handle it."

Yang Jiu scratched his head. "Okay, I'll go now. Yue, keep writing, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Xiao Jiu," Tang Yue said, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Yang Jiu's dark face became embarrassed by the stares, and he quickly turned and left.

Looking at Tang Yue, who was reluctant to part with Yang Jiu, Jun Lingmo asked with a hint of jealousy, "Yue, is he really that good-looking?"

Upon hearing Jun Lingmo's question, Tang Yue, with a strong survival instinct, flattered him, "Ah, not good-looking, not good-looking, our A-Mo is still the most, most, most beautiful."

Standing to the side, Fatty Zheng curled his lip in disdain, thinking, "What a spineless guy."

After Tang Yue finished her homework, everyone in the classroom had left.

She stretched, yawned, and with sleepy tears welling in her eyes, said drowsily, "Finally finished writing, Amo, let's go back quickly."

“Okay, let’s go,” Jun Lingmo tidied up the table and left the academy with Tang Yue.

They walked side by side on their way home, the bright moonlight shining down on them like water, as if draping them in a silver veil and casting long shadows.

"Ah Yue, your handwriting is a little better today than yesterday," he said. Although it was still a mess, it didn't stop him from praising her. Father Ling had said that she needed more encouragement to make progress.

Jun Lingmo's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze brushing past Tang Yue's ear.

Tang Yue twitched her ears and proudly raised her chin at Jun Lingmo: "Of course, you can see how hard I work. It's already dark when I get out of school." She thought that she had only worked this hard during the college entrance examination.

Jun Lingmo smiled, his eyes shining like stars: "Yes, Yue has been working very hard lately. So, Yue, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Tang Yue kicked a pebble at her feet, speaking with a carefree and unrestrained air. "I just want to grow up happily without worrying about food or clothing. If I find someone I like, I'll have a relationship. If not, I'll travel everywhere, eat all the delicious food in the world, and see all the beautiful scenery. When I get old, I'll buy a farmhouse, sit at the village entrance, and chat with the old ladies and gentlemen, gossiping and chatting," and maybe even play some mahjong or a game of cards.

"And what about Amo? What do you want to do?" Tang Yue asked Jun Lingmo, turning her head to the side.

"I... I don't know either, I haven't thought about it yet," his only wish at the moment was to protect Yue, Aunt Ruhua, and Uncle Ling.

She patted Jun Lingmo on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It's okay, you can always have ideals. Now, let's hurry home and eat, my stomach is growling."

Jun Lingmo smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two quickened their pace home, just as Tang Ruhua had finished preparing dinner.

"Mom, Uncle Ling, what delicious food have you made?" Tang Yue smelled the aroma even before she entered the door.

That's right, the two families have already started living together under one roof. The main reason is that Jun Lingmo's house is too dilapidated. It's not cost-effective to repair it, but it's not very habitable if it's not repaired. So, Tang Ruhua and Ling Yi decided to buy a new courtyard house. The four of them each have a room. Jun Lingmo and Ling Yi are on the other side of the wall, while she and her mother are on this side.

"Xiaoyue is back. We made the iron pot stew you mentioned today. Come and try it, and see if it's good," Ling Yi said, untying her apron with a smile in her eyes.

“Okay, Uncle Ling,” Tang Yue replied, pulling Jun Lingmo to sit down at the dining table. She looked at the large pot of stew and the steamed flatbread soaked in broth, and swallowed hard. “It looks pretty good.”

“Hmm, it should taste good,” Jun Lingmo said, sitting down and picking up his chopsticks to put a piece on Tang Yue’s plate. “Try it first.”

Tang Yue took a bite and her eyes lit up. "It's so delicious! My mom and Uncle Ling's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Hearing this, Ling Yi said with satisfaction, "Xiao Yue likes it, so Uncle will make it for you often in the future."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Ling."

"Hey, Amo, you should eat too, it's really delicious," she picked out a piece of pork rib and put it in Jun Lingmo's bowl.

Jun Lingmo took a bite; it was indeed quite good.
