Chapter 33: Zhang Xiaoyuan’s Shock

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Fan stared at Xiao Qi with wide eyes, and his mind was filled with disbelief. Could this be the foster daughter-in-law he was raising?

Zhang Fan remained silent, lowered his head, and cleaned the medicine pot before putting the herbs in and starting to brew the medicine.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan had also finished getting dressed and sat in the reclining chair in the courtyard, lost in thought.

Thinking about the slight pain in her chest, her face involuntarily turned red.

She twisted her head and looked at Zhang Fan, who was brewing medicine in the kitchen, her eyes shimmering.

Half an hour later, Zhang Fan walked out of the kitchen carrying the medicine.

“Dad, drink the medicine,” Zhang Fan called out as he walked towards the guest room.

Xiao Qi and Zhang Yuanlin also stopped their conversation and looked at Zhang Fan with astonishment.

Could this little guy really cure Zhang Dongyang’s hand?

“Extend your hand for acupuncture.” Zhang Fan tested the temperature of the medicine and handed it to his father. Then he took up a silver needle, disinfected it, and carefully followed the steps from the system, gently inserting it into his father’s arm.

Zhang Dongyang’s emotions were complicated at this moment. This arm, it had been powerless for over ten years, which was the worst. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have struggled for over a decade. Looking at Zhang Fan, who was serious, a look of contentment appeared on his face.

The child had grown up. Thinking about the 500,000 yuan that evening, he felt that he had been unfair to Zhang Fan in this lifetime.

As for whether the arm could be healed or not, he didn’t really care. After all, it had been like this for over ten years, and they had gotten used to it.

“Dad, does it hurt?” Zhang Fan asked.

Zhang Dongyang laughed heartily, “What’s the pain? Back when I was in the military, I often got injured. Compared to that, this is nothing.”

Only then did Zhang Fan lower his head and continue with the acupuncture.

Seeing Zhang Fan like this, Xiao Qi could not help but nod, then he held Zhang Xiaoyuan’s hand and said, “Look at Brother Fan, he’s not bad, right?”

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded.

Half an hour later, Zhang Fan removed the silver needle from his father’s hand and let out a sigh of relief. “Done.”

“Dad, don’t strain your left hand too much recently. Rest for a few days first,” Zhang Fan said, tidying up his things.

Feeling the numbness in his arm, Zhang Dongyang did not mind at all. This arm was not going to recover so easily.

“Don’t fuss around, Xiaoyuan, go study with your brother,” Xiao Qi stood up, took over Zhang Fan’s task, and said to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

“Okay.” Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded, a hint of blush on her face.

“What are you standing there for? Go and study.” Zhang Dongyang pushed Zhang Fan, who was still standing in place.

Zhang Fan nodded. He also wanted to see how much progress he had made in mathematics and science.

Although he spent 200 Spirit Points on these subjects, he didn’t actually do any practice questions, so he didn’t know if he really understood them thoroughly.

Zhang Xiaoyuan followed him into the room, her head lowered, fidgeting with the corner of her clothes, unsure of how to speak up.

Zhang Fan turned his head and looked at the slender Zhang Xiaoyuan, asking in a low voice, “Still hurting?”

Zhang Xiaoyuan raised her eyes and glared at Zhang Fan, saying, “Of course it still hurts. It was the last injection.”

“It’s normal to feel pain. It’s acupuncture,” Zhang Fan laughed.

“Hmph, I’m ignoring you,” Zhang Xiaoyuan grabbed a chair and leaned on it, her eyes fixed on the ground.

Zhang Fan smirked and took out a math test paper, picked up a pen, and began to work on it seriously.

Hmm, it’s quite simple!

Zhang Fan was quick in his actions, and the whole room was filled with the sound of his pen swiftly moving across the paper.

Zhang Xiaoyuan knew very well that Zhang Fan’s academic performance was not good. She quickly pulled a chair and sat beside him. But when she saw the questions he was doing, her eyes widened in astonishment.

This guy was supposed to have poor grades, but all the questions he answered were correct.

Moreover, he was even faster than her.

These questions were all standard simulated questions for the college entrance examination, and each one was difficult. However, Zhang Fan’s speed in solving them made it seem like he was doing elementary school questions. His fingers moved swiftly, and he finished multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions in no time.

Half an hour passed like this, and Zhang Fan completed the entire test paper.

After finishing the math test paper, Zhang Fan put it aside and found a comprehensive science paper.

In the third year of high school, they lacked everything except test papers. It could be said that every person’s pile of test papers in their third year surpassed the combined total of the previous two years.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took the test paper that Zhang Fan had just finished and began to check it.

Correct, correct, still correct…

Until Zhang Fan finished the comprehensive science questions, she finally put down the test paper, her eyes filled with shock.

He had answered all the questions correctly, scoring 150 points. Goodness, didn’t Uncle and Auntie say that Fan’s grades were very poor? His efficiency and accuracy were even better than hers.

Over 300 points? How is that possible?!

Then, Zhang Xiaoyuan practically snatched Zhang Fan’s comprehensive science paper as if she were grabbing something, her eyes wide open.

Correct, correct, all correct…

Only the last step of a physics question was wrong, but everything else was flawless.

Math plus comprehensive science added up to a total of 450 points, and Zhang Fan’s current score was just a little bit behind.

This could not be because the test paper was easy. Although it was slightly easier than the difficulty level in the Capital, it wasn’t much different.

With comprehensive science and math alone, he had over 440 points. What about Chinese and English?

She knew Zhang Fan’s Chinese score, which was around 140, so combined, it would be over 580.

Thinking about what Zhang Zhongliang and Qi Fang couple said about only being able to score over 300 points, Zhang Xiaoyuan found it somewhat unbelievable.

This guy could definitely get into a top university.

Zhang Xiaoyuan stood up, found an English test paper, and threw it to Zhang Fan. “Do this for me.”

Zhang Fan nearly fell to the ground. “Xiaoyuan, I’m really tired. Can’t we sleep first?”

“No!” Zhang Xiaoyuan stared with wide eyes and gritted her teeth at Zhang Fan. She had to see Zhang Fan’s English score; otherwise, she would noot be able to sleep.

“Fine, fine.” Zhang Fan took the test paper and spent 20 minutes swiftly completing it before tossing it to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Holding the English test paper, Zhang Xiaoyuan immediately checked the answers.

“Wow, 143 points.”

Combined with the previous 580 points, it was now over 720.

This score could definitely get him into Tsinghua University or Peking University.

“How did I do in math and comprehensive science?” Zhang Fan also wanted to know his scores in these subjects.

“Over 440. Brother, did you receive divine enlightenment?” Zhang Xiaoyuan stared at Zhang Fan, trying to see through him.

Satisfied with Zhang Xiaoyuan’s answer, Zhang Fan stretched and looked at his phone, nearly wetting himself.

Oh, it’s past 1 o’clock? Zhang Fan quickly found his clothes and rushed into the bathroom.

“Brother, I need to shower first!” Zhang Xiaoyuan shouted.
