They say heaven rewards diligence, and effort always pays off.
But at least when it comes to studying, Lian Xi is not convinced.
From a young age, he was most anxious about anything related to literature, like Chinese, English, politics, and history.
Responsibly speaking: he definitely spent plenty of time writing Chinese papers and memorizing English words during math class.
As a child, when his older brothers dragged him off for morning exercises, he muttered the pinyin syllables a, o, e, b, p, m as if chanting.
Even the little sister Xinqing who was auditing could recite them backwards effortlessly, while he was still stumbling.
Reading and writing every day, he couldn't have been more serious.
But when it came to exams, he still made the same mistakes, whether he should have or not.
Basically, it was an extraordinary performance to get sixty marks, constantly bringing back big red lanterns home.
