Chapter 59: A Qiao Family Tradition

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This time, it was not only Qiao Yue’s class that had a test. Qiao Yu, Qiao Xin and Qiao Ying had also received their test results. So, as soon as Qiao Yue got out of the car, Qiao Yu took her to Qiao Jing’s study.

Qiao Yue was still groggy from sleeping like a log in the car. She looked at Qiao Yu with confusion.

“It’s a Qiao family tradition to let second brother review our test papers after every test.”

The Qiao family had six children, seven including Qiao Yue. Parents of the first and second families were out of the country most of the time. Although parents of the third family was around, they pretended to be living Buddhas in front of outsiders and rarely cared about the kids. So, the task of disciplining the younger siblings fell to Qiao Jing, who worked from home at night. When the two of them entered Qiao Jing’s study, Qiao Xin and Qiao Ying were already waiting inside.

“Fourth brother, fifth brother,” Qiao Ying greeted with a sweet smile as soon as she saw the two of them.

Qiao Xin greeted her fourth brother but not Qiao Yue. Instead, she threw Qiao Yue a mean glare.

Qiao Yue didn’t care about it and sat with Qiao Yu on a side sofa and played with her phone.

Qiao Jing hadn’t returned yet, and the study was a little quiet. Qiao Yu was bored and leaned closer to Qiao Yue to see what she was playing.

“Tetris? Xiao Yue, you have pretty fast hands!” Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Yue’s phone and exclaimed.

Qiao Yu’s words attracted Qiao Xin and Qiao Ying’s attention.

“Is fifth brother playing games? I want to look too.” Qiao Ying asked curiously before she walked over next to Qiao Yu and started watching.

Qiao Yue was playing a high-speed version of Tetris, and she had set it to three times the normal speed, so the blocks were falling so fast that it was dizzying.

“Fifth brother, you’re amazing! You can even get rid of this!” Qiao Ying exclaimed.

“Ha! You’re so bad in your studies and you don’t have any special talent, so you probably can only play games!” Qiao Xin’s sudden insult broke the harmonious atmosphere in the study.

Qiao Yue glanced at Qiao Xin indifferently, and the game over sound effect rang on her phone.

“Are you playing some more? If you are not, I’d like to have a go.” Qiao Yu said with great interest.

He had been itching to try it out when he saw Qiao Yue play just now, so he couldn’t wait to try it out.

Seeing that Qiao Yu and Qiao Ying didn’t agree with Qiao Xin, Qiao Yue ignored her and threw her phone to Qiao Yu and became a spectator.

Qiao Xin was infuriated by their attitude. She glared at Qiao Ying and then at Qiao Yue. She didn’t understand why everyone sided with Qiao Yue when she had lived with them for so long.

“It’s too difficult, I can’t play it.” Qiao Yu smiled and returned the phone to Qiao Yue. Even though his eyes were filled with reluctance, he still maintained his image.

Qiao Yue saw the curiosity in Qiao Ying’s eyes and handed her the phone. Qiao Ying quickly waved her hand and said, “I can’t. I can’t play this.”

“Give it a try,” encouraged Qiao Yue.

With Qiao Yue’s encouragement, Qiao Ying took the phone and started playing.

The moment Qiao Ying started the game, Qiao Yue couldn’t help but be a little surprised. It seemed that Qiao Ying was just being modest. Qiao Ying was quite good at the game, even better than Qiao Yu.

Before the game was over, Qiao Jing came back and sat behind his desk, waiting for Qiao Yu and the rest to report their test results.

Qiao Yue was shocked by Qiao Yu’s three consecutive perfect scores. Well, Qiao Yu was the president of the student council. Qiao Xin and Qiao Ying’s results were also good. So, she was the only clown?

“Qiao Yue, where’s your test paper?” Qiao Jing’s voice was flat, but his attractive eyes looked straight at Qiao Yue from behind his glasses.

“I didn’t bring it home. I didn’t know that test papers will be reviewed.”

“Tell me your results.” Qiao Jing’s words were brief and to-the-point, not giving Qiao Yue a chance to escape.

“60,” Qiao Yue said after some hesitation.

She had answered the test papers to score around the passing mark. Although her results were not as good as the others, she should not be scolded, right?

Qiao Jing didn’t say anything, but his gaze on Qiao Yue was somewhat sharp.

Qiao Yue felt a little guilty under Qiao Jing’s stare. Her eyes darted around as she avoided looking at Qiao Jing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qiao Yu stepped up to smooth things over.

“Second brother, Qiao Yue’s score of 60 points means that he still got the foundation. I’ll help him with some tuition. His next test results will be better.”

Qiao Jing didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he asked Qiao Yue, “Do you need tuition? From Qiao Yu or another tutor, you can choose.”
