"Didn't she say that she was going to cover with the two of you?" Victor explained, "Her grades have dropped recently, so Grandpa arranged stuition classes for her. That's why she can't cat the moment." "Oh, what kind of classes?" "Mathematical olympiad classes." Xander remained silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next day, Grace arrived at her mathematical olympiad class disinterestedly. "This is so hard. Can | just not come?" She had just finished speaking when she looked up to see Xander sitting in her seat. Grace rubbed her eyes and went up to him in disbelief. She asked, "Xander, what are you doing here?" Xander didn't even look up as he said, "I heard that you can get extra credit if you do the mathematical olympiad, so Mom signed up for me." Grace was amused at his plight. "I thought | was the only one who was suffering, but | didn't expect Aunt Hestia to do the sto you!" "Yep, we're in the sboat." "It's just that this math olympiad thing is really hard!" Grace wanted to cry. When could she stop learning this? Xander smiled in resignation, took her textbook, and flipped it open. "I don't have any problems with the questions at your level.
Shall | teach you?" "I just looked at the question you were doing. You're already going about this the wrong way. You see, from the question here, you can tell that ..." Grace had only half-understood it before, but after listening to Xander's explanation, she finally got it. "Xander, | understood it at once when you explained. Why can't | understand anything when the teacher is speaking? "I think you explain it so much better than the teacher! Can you teachthe questions | can't do in the future?" Grace looked hopefully at him, like an adorable little kitten.
"Okay." That simple word delighted Grace, and she suddenly felt that she didn't hate the mathematical olympiad so much after all.
In fact, she now had a shred of interest in it.
Xander went for mathematical olympiad classes with Grace for about half a semester, and at the end of the semester, when they joined a competition, Grace won the gold award for her year.
The moment when she held the trophy in her hands felt surreal to Grace.

Xander could see Grace opening and shutting her mouth as she chattered, but all he could hear was that one sentence. Even if she hadn't said it consciously, it still made his heart flutter.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second half of her first year in junior high.
One day after gym class, Grace kept feeling a pain in her lower abdomen. At first, she didn't think much of it.
Then, the pain worsened, and her entire face gradually becdeathly pale. She had no strength at all, and her classmates finally noticed that there was something wrong with her.
"Grace, are you okay?" "Grace, what's wrong?" "Grace?" "Hurry, take her to the school infirmary!" Xander had just gotten out of class when a girl suddenly rushed over and grabbed his arm. "You're Grace's older brother, right? Something has happened to her. You've got to go there quickly ..." Xander's heart leaped out of his chest. He didn't even ask what had happened before saying, "Where is she?" "The school infirmary." When Xander heard this, he began running wildly toward the school infirmary.
"Gracie? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
