She wrote down all the solutions she could think of, checked them, and after confirming there were no problems, raised her hand to signal that she was handing in her paper.

The other people in the exam room weren't worried when they saw her hand in her paper early; in fact, some were quite gloating.

It must be because they couldn't come up with multiple solutions for the last question.

When Su Youcai saw her come out, he rubbed his eyes in surprise. So fast?

He could understand handing in his paper early for the first two exams, since he had taken them before and they weren't too difficult. But the last exam was twice as difficult, and it was rare for anyone to hand in their paper early.

"Xiao Xi, you finished answering so quickly? How was it?"

Lin Xi opened her schoolbag and took out her math book. "It's a bit difficult, but not much."

Hearing her say that, Su Youcai felt relieved, as Xiao Xi never boasted.

Just then, a sneer rang out from the side, "Heh, little girl, so confident? The last question requires multiple solutions, right? You finished so quickly, I bet you didn't come up with more than a few."

Lin Xi looked up and saw an old man who looked a lot like the Earth God looking at her with disdain.

He replied bluntly, "What's it to you?"

Su Youcai recognized Wang Anshi at a glance. Just as he was about to apologize on Lin Xi's behalf, the old man gave him a wink, signaling him not to say anything more.

Wang Anshi: "If you won't tell, are you feeling guilty because I guessed right?"

Su Youcai looked at Lin Xi and blinked, "Little Xi, please watch your mouth!"

But Lin Xi didn't even look at him.

Somewhat annoyed by the old man's second interruption, he said coldly, "Do you really want me to tell you how many kinds I wrote, and then you reply with 'It's nothing special'?"

But I won't. My time is too precious to waste on you.

Su Youcai coughed, clenching his fist. "Xiao Xi, open your eyes and see who this is! His time is more precious than yours!"

Before the old man could say anything, Lin Xi immediately interrupted, "Grandpa, please don't bother me, okay!"

After saying that, he lowered his head to read again.

Seriously, I have to meet the producer tonight. If I don't check this now, I won't be able to complete the system task.

Su Youcai sighed in exasperation. "This windfall is not only not picked up, but you also throw it on the ground and stomp on it a few times."

So many people want to curry favor with this old man you mentioned, but they can't find him anywhere.

And you're the one who complains when people are practically begging to talk to you?!

Oh God! Destroy!

He looked at Wang Anshi apologetically, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, my student... has become obsessed with studying, all he knows is studying, hehehehe..."

Lin Xi glanced at Su Youcai. "Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Wang Anshi didn't seem to mind, waving his hand and saying with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm eager to learn!"

He likes people who are eager to learn.

The old man didn't say anything more, and Lin Xi was finally able to quietly learn her lessons.

After the exam ended and all the students left the exam room, the staff informed them that the results would be announced and awards would be presented the next day, and that a TV station would be coming to interview them. They told everyone to be prepared, and then opened the doors, and the students left one by one.

Su Youcai took Lin Xi back to the hotel. Just as he was about to order food, Lin Xi stopped him, "Teacher, let's go out for a free meal later."

The producer called her a couple of days ago and, upon learning that she was coming to Beijing, scheduled a meeting for today.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Xi pulled Su Youcai towards the restaurant.

Upon entering the private room, I found someone already there, a gentle-looking lady.

Lin Xi stepped forward and extended her right hand. "Aunt Liu, I'm sorry we're late."

Liu Pei smiled and shook hands in return, saying, "I just arrived too, the timing is perfect."

Actually, it wasn't the agreed time yet; she had just arrived early. However, seeing how cute and polite the little girl was, I couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably towards her.

Then she looked at the middle-aged man beside her and said, "This must be Teacher Su."

Su Youcai was surprised that Xiao Xi had already introduced herself to her. He smiled and nodded, "Hello, Ms. Liu, thank you for recognizing my student. My child is young, so I came along. I hope you don't mind."

"It's alright, I understand. You can also offer your advice."

As they ate and chatted, Su Youcai was overjoyed to discover that his student's novel was going to be made into a movie.

Liu Pei hadn't expected that the little girl would dominate their conversation.

Even though Li Xinxin had already described the child's intelligence to her, making her treat Lin Xi like an adult, she was still astonished.

“Aunt Liu, that’s it. I can expand on the story, but I hope that when filming, the aim is to help people with disabilities. Don’t overly beautify or overly uglify them. They don’t need pity or praise.”

"What we need is to treat them as ordinary people, and to treat them more as documentaries than movies. This is my suggestion, you can consider it."

These words were reasonable, well-founded, and measured in their approach.

Liu Pei also spoke frankly, "Don't worry, this is my true feeling. To be honest, my daughter is disabled and suffers from depression."

"I made this film to encourage my daughter, so I won't sacrifice the film's quality for profit or to capitalize on trending topics."

Lin Xi hadn't expected this reason, and felt both sympathetic and relieved.

Through conversation, it was learned that the girl was receiving treatment at a psychological clinic in Beijing and was also a fan of his.

Lin Xi immediately suggested that they go see her, and Liu Pei happily agreed.

My daughter refuses to talk to anyone except her therapist. She'd be so happy to meet her favorite author, a lovely nine-year-old girl.

When they arrived at the clinic, Su Youcai was waiting outside, and Liu Pei led her into the room.

The room was completely dark, with heavy curtains blocking out the moonlight.

Liu Pei turned on a small lamp, which emitted a faint orange glow, and Lin Xi finally saw the figure clearly.

A thin girl sat in a wheelchair, facing the wall, and remained motionless even when she heard someone coming.

This atmosphere looks very oppressive.

Liu Pei squatted down beside her daughter's knees and said gently, "Xiao Jing, don't you really like the articles written by Xingxing Xiangxi? Mom met with her today, and she said she wanted to come and see you."

"Look, this is the little girl."

As Liu Pei spoke, he gently turned his wheelchair.

Lin Xi stood at the door and saw the girl turn around, staring at her blankly.

Her small, palm-sized face made her large eyes stand out even more.

"Hello, Sister Xiaojing. My name is Lin Xi. Thank you for liking my article."

The girl looked at Liu Pei without any expression. "Is she sympathizing with someone she knows? Mom, have you sent someone to lie to me again?"

"Ahem, Xiaojing, she really is."

Lin Xi recited all the articles she had written, and even improvised a passage on the spot. The girl was skeptical, "You really appreciate each other?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

"Could you sign your autograph for me?"

Liu Pei rarely saw his daughter showing interest, so he quickly took a picture book by a young artist and handed it to Lin Xi.

The girl looked at the neat, almost printed signature on the cover with a slight surprise. "Mom, you really went all out to find actors this time."
