The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Several days later, the preliminary results of the English 100-word contest were finally released.

Teacher Yang called Lin Xi into her office and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, you came in first place in the preliminary round, and with a perfect score. You did an excellent job!"

Yesterday, Wanxin called her and praised her a lot, and even told her about what she saw and heard at the exam venue.

The little girl was answering the questions so intently that she didn't notice her mother standing there for a long time. When she finally noticed, the mother was stretching, which startled the child so much that she sat up straight immediately.

She still finds it funny when she thinks about it now.

Lin Xi was stunned to see Teacher Yang smile, a rare sight for her.

I couldn't help but say, "Teacher, you look so beautiful when you smile!"

Ms. Yang blushed immediately.

She wasn't unfamiliar with receiving compliments from others.

On the contrary, she had heard countless compliments since childhood, but only Lin Xi made her blush.

Because her eyes were pure and innocent, they reflected the most sincere thoughts of a simple child.

Lin Xi realized what she had said. Sigh, she'd really gotten too close to Teacher Yang and become quite bold.

Ms. Yang coughed a few times, then said, "You'll definitely be fine for the semi-finals this Sunday. But I heard that a British high school student will be participating in the finals."

"British people participating in an English competition?" That's a bit absurd.

"Although he is British, he has been studying in China since primary school and has changed his nationality to Chinese."

Lin Xi thought, "Won't this delay my earning 5000 yuan? This is dangerous! I can't use the vocabulary from the CET-4 and CET-6 exams!"

"Teacher, do you have an English-Chinese dictionary?"

If she didn't have it, she would go to the bookstore to buy it. She refused to believe that she could be inferior to that Englishman after studying a large dictionary.

Nothing could stop her from taking that 5000 yuan!

"Yes, there is, but are you going to memorize the entire dictionary?"

Lin Xi nodded firmly.

She wasn't afraid of being exposed anymore. Teacher Yang had already guessed that she was good at the CET-4 and CET-6 exams; all she was missing was a dictionary.

Yang Qingning really didn't expect this.

She knew Lin Xi was exceptionally intelligent, but she hadn't expected her memory to be this good, that she was so confident she could memorize an entire dictionary.

He rummaged through the bookshelf, pulled out a thick dictionary from the bottom, and handed it to Lin Xi. "Then I'll see how you perform. The time between the finals and the semi-finals isn't long, so you need to hurry."

"Starting today, you don't need to do English homework."

After thanking her, Lin Xi took the dictionary and returned to the classroom.

Yang Qingning then went to Teacher Su's office to remind him that Xiaoxi was preparing for the finals of an English competition and that he shouldn't make her do her homework.

Teacher Su was speechless. Last time she came, she told him not to bother Lin Xi. This time, she told him not to give Lin Xi any homework.

I feel that Teacher Yang is more like Lin Xi's homeroom teacher than he is.

What could Su Youcheng say? He could only say yes.

It doesn't really matter whether I write it or not, it just means I'll have to do the math tests myself from now on. Before, I would just use Lin Xi's answers to grade other students' homework.

After all, Lin Xi's answer was even more standard than the standard answer.

Back in class, Lin Xi bought two bags of walnuts from the system shop, chewed on one, and immediately began to recite it fluently.

Su Xin thought his deskmate had gone mad. The CET-4 and CET-6 exams were no longer enough for her; she had started studying a huge dictionary—a dictionary so thick it could kill someone.

From that day on, Lin Xi entered full preparation mode.

I'm not doing my homework anymore, I've stopped writing short stories, and I'm not handing in Teacher Su's essays either. Every day, besides completing system tasks, I'm just studying the dictionary.

Teacher Su watched as the child flipped through a large dictionary every day and secretly marveled at how terrifying Teacher Yang was, putting so much pressure on Lin Xi. However, he dared not say anything, as his father had told him not to provoke Teacher Yang.

The students were already completely impressed; they were intimidated by the thickness of the book, but Lin Xi was engrossed in reading it, both during and after class.

If Lin Xi knew, she would definitely say, "Are you looking at words? I'm looking at money!"

The Lin family felt sorry for their child, who rarely left his bedroom except to eat, and spent his days looking at books thicker than his palm. However, they dared not say much.

Lin Xi fulfilled her wish to eat walnuts as snacks, consuming three or four a day.

Two bags weren't enough, so I looked at the charity coins and bought two more bags.

Sigh, I only have 975 Love Coins left, I need to be careful with them.

Lin Jing knew that Xiao Xi was preparing for the competition and was quietly studying at home. She hadn't come over for several days, and at the same time, she hadn't contributed any love coins to Lin Xi for several days either.

Until Friday before school ended, Ms. Yang reminded her that she had to participate in the semi-finals the day after tomorrow.

Lin Xi slapped her forehead and said, "I almost forgot about that." Yang Qingning was overjoyed.

She was worried that her daughter had forgotten what she was studying lately, and sure enough, the child had forgotten everything.

"Teacher, are you free the day after tomorrow? If you're free, could you come with me?"

Lin Xi now regards Teacher Yang as an older sister.

Teacher Yang is actually just like her, only a little socially anxious.

Last time I told her she was pretty, her face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

Yang Qingning immediately accepted the invitation from the student.

After the Lin family finished dinner that day, they saw Lin Xi still sitting at the table and exchanged glances.

That's rare. You didn't go inside to study. Is something you want to talk about?

Sure enough, a familiar voice rang out: "Family members, come, sit down quickly."

Right.

After everyone was seated, Lin Xi said, "I'm going to participate in the semi-finals of an English competition the day after tomorrow..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Guojun was the first to raise his hand, "Granddaughter, I'll go with you!"

Lin Guiying and Lin Dayuan also quickly raised their hands, secretly cursing Lin Guojun for his lack of martial ethics and for rushing to answer.

Lin Xi said shyly, "Grandpa, what I wanted to say is that I've already talked to Teacher Yang, and Teacher Yang will accompany me to the competition the day after tomorrow."

Lin Guojun immediately deflated.

Lin Guiying also felt a little regretful, as she thought going out with her granddaughter was quite fun.

Lin Dayuan wondered when he could have another hot pot meal with his daughter.

Seeing everyone's disappointed looks, Lin Xi said, "When the finals come around, I'll see if I can get a few tickets so you can go and watch it live."

Yes, Lin Xi is that confident; she's absolutely sure she'll make it to the finals.

The family members perked up again upon hearing this.

On Sunday, Lin Xi went to school as usual because she had arranged to meet Teacher Yang at the school gate.

A short while later, a red jeep came from afar.

Wow, that's so cool! I really want one!

I wonder what kind of person the car owner is. Judging from the color, she must be a fiery and arrogant woman.

Under Lin Xi's envious gaze, the jeep slowly slowed down and actually stopped beside her.

The car window was slowly rolled down, revealing Teacher Yang's cool and aloof face.

Lin Xi blinked and said in surprise, "Teacher Yang?"

"Come on, get in the car."

Lin Xi opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Teacher, is this your car?"

"Yes, I've had it for many years."

"I was just thinking that I want to have a car like that someday, so cool and stylish."

Teacher Yang smiled and said that there would be, and that this little girl was always so energetic.

Although Lin Xi is socially awkward, she is also someone who is particularly afraid of awkward silences.

Along the way, he told Teacher Yang about interesting things that happened in his family.

Grandpa was beaten so badly by Grandma that he ran all over the yard; he ate hotpot with Grandma Lin until he was so full he almost threw up; Grandma had eight hundred ways to curse...

Yang Qingning burst into laughter.

They were all very small things, yet they were both funny and heartwarming.

Indeed, only a family like this could raise such an innocent child as Lin Xi.

After Lin Xi finished telling the funny stories about her family, she began to tell jokes she had heard in her previous life.

Just as she was joking that the inventory was almost sold out, she finally arrived at the TV station.
