Chapter 398
Her little brother was embarrassed.
Olivia smiled and tapped his hand. “lan, help me adjust the bed up.”
lan obeyed and went over to adjust the bed, asking, “How’s the height? Is this good?”
“Yeah, it’s just right. Thank you.”
Olivia was worried when she saw the bandage on lan’s hand. She frowned and said, “lan, does the wound on your hand affect your writing?”
lan glanced down. “It’s okay. It’s not very serious. Besides, I’ve finished the joint examination. I have no more examinations.”
“How’d it go?”
lan lowered his head and said nothing.
“lan, I’m just asking. After all, you’re taking the senior high entrance examination next year. I’m afraid…”
Before Olivia could finish, lan suddenly looked up at her with a determined look and said, “Don’t worry. There’s still half a term left. I can catch up.”
Because of everything that happened to the Larson family and especially Olivia two years ago, lan had a chip on his shoulder. He even began to indulge himself under Dorothy’s encouragement.
It led to him going overboard on some subjects. He was ridiculously poor in liberal arts.
Although he studied for the joint exam, the result was probably terrible.
Seeing lan having a fighting spirit, Olivia did not want to pursue it. Instead, she smiled. “I’m glad you’ve grown up and know you should study hard, lan.”
Embarrassed by the compliment, lan scratched his head and asked, “Are your wounds still hurting?”
“They’re alright.” Olivia smiled and said, “lan, hearing you call me Liv, it doesn’t hurt anymore. They’re all healed.”
“I already said you misheard me!”
Exasperated, lan got up to leave.
Olivia immediately laughed and apologized, “Okay, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said anything. I’ll wait for you to call me Liv, lan.”
With that said, she winked at him. “Ian, that day will come, right?”
lan poured her a glass of water and gave it to her sulkily. “Maybe you will if you don’t make more enemies.
