Christmas was about to pass, but the festival atmosphere was still deep. Take Lily's surrounding for example, the lights on the Christmas tree that Lara had already prepared were still on. A huge Christmas tree was placed in the living room, which attracted people's attention.
However, Lily had no interest in enjoying the scenery. Although it was weekend and a holiday, she got up early and went to the room where Luke guided her earlier to study.
Why did Lily suddenly study so hard? That was the end of the semester. Because she was easy to be bullied by her enemy which was named final examination!
The school had organized the exam in advance for everyone to celebrate the new year with their families.
Looking at the thick book in front of her, Lily thought of what the teacher said, and felt a bit headache. Although the teacher had drawn a key point, it was a whole book anyway! Lily could be clearly remembered. When a teacher gave a lesson, her classmates drew the key points of their class and then cried out.
Although Lily always serious, this was the first final examination of the semester since she entered the college. She wanted to do her best in that examination. Especially there were so many excellent people.
The breakfast was sent to the room by Lara. Lily's seriousness was obvious.
Just as Lily recited the knowledge, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in, please." Lily answered in confusion. James had gone to work, and Bill and Lara wouldn't disturb her. Then who was the person now.
With permission, the person pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing a book on the table in front of Lily, he smiled and said, "Lillias, you're so serious. It doesn't matter if I come or not."
The man in front of her was no other than Luke, who looked harmless but had only added a few points at most! She then realized what a bad thing Luke had done, and said in a bit of pique, "that's because a teacher has so many important points. It's difficult for me not to take it seriously."
Luke knew well about Lily's personality. He treated her as a child, "now that you are so serious, so I won't help you with your study. I will pray for you."
"What? Help me to review? " Lily stood up and widened her eyes. After a second, she smiled, walked across the table, moved the chair away, and said to Luke, "please sit down, teacher Luke. I'll fetch the water."
Luke did not hesitate to approach. He took off his coat and sat down on the chair. "No need, take a seat. Let's get down to business. I have asked your other teacher to check the key point. In addition, I am going to discuss western economics with you in a day, and you must have been reviewing a lot. You can do your research tomorrow after I finish my talk. I think this arrangement will be ok for you. "
Lily went back to her chair and sat down. Hearing what Luke said, she nodded. She had studied a lot, but lacked a whole concept.
"Let's get started now." Lily open the book, which was full of notes. It could be seen that she focused on her study.
Luke was satisfied with her in this respect. She was more dedicated and diligent than other students.
Luke Li began to help Lily review the program. He connected all the information Lily had learned. Luke was good at western economics, and he was really interested in other subjects. He remembered the outline of other subjects since he heard from other teachers for only one time, and then explained them to Lily by using his own understanding.
"This is my gift for you. Go and study. I'm starving! I'm going to have lunch! " She was hungry now.
After hanging up the phone, she ran downstairs to fetch some food from Lara without even tidying up the books on the table.
When Lily went downstairs, Luke had already left. Lara said that he was approaching his exam. There were heavy tasks at school and he had to go back to school in a hurry recently.
Luke didn't say goodbye to her. Lily was unhappy because Luke was so busy but spared time and energy to help her review. She thought it was reasonable for her to say goodbye to Luke, but she didn't.
But the unhappiness disappeared when Lily ate Lara's sweet cakes. Desserts were really good for people's mood.
She believed that only after her own efforts could she get what she wanted.
So, after eating the cakes, she went back to her room for study. And she didn't have dinner.
As soon as James came back, Lara told him about Lily's activities of that day. He nodded and had his dinner alone. He thought that he could prepare food for her if she had felt hungry by that time. Now that she was studying hard, he would let her do it.
Fortunately, understanding could build a bridge between two people.
