Chapter 672 How I Envy You


    Afraid of disturbing Celine''s studies, Katherine said her piece and then left.


    Not long after Katherine left, Celine heard another knock at the door. Thinking it was Katherine again,


    she quickly got up to answer it.


    Seeing Rowen standing at the door, Celine was taken aback for a moment. “Rowie.”


    “Did An help you sort out the math papers?”


    Celine felt that there was something odd about Rowen''s words, but she couldn''t pinpoint what was


    strange. “An exined all the questions to me.”


    Hearing her words, Rowen let out a cold snort. “Oh.”


    He responded with a nod, said nothing more, and turned to leave.


    Celine watched his retreating figure, blinked her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, “But there''s


    one multi-part question I still don''t understand. Rowie, could you exin it to me again?”


    As soon as Rowen pushed the door open, he heard her words. He turned back and nced at her.


    “Bring the papers over.”


    “Oh, okay.” Celine chuckled, suddenly feeling that Rowen might not be that hard to please after all.


    She took out her math papers and notebook from her bag, then headed toward Rowen''s room.


    The door to Rowen''s room wasn''t fully closed. Celine gave a light knock and heard him say, “Come in.”


    Only then did she push the door open and step inside.


    Alexander and Sophia often went out traveling together. After starting middle school, Rowen spent half


    his time living at the Lewis residence.


    Numerous Rowen''s personal items were ced inside that room of the Lewis residence.


    Beside the desk, there hung a basketball hoop, and a basketball was ced on the bay window.


    The surface of the desk was impably clean and tidy, adorned with quite a few books about


    programming.

    That was the first time Celine had taken such a close look at Rowen''s room. It wasn''t quite what she


    had imagined a boy''s room to be, yet somehow, it seemed exactly like what Rowen''s room should be.


    After finishing his call, Rowen turned to nce at Celine, who was obediently sitting at the desk. With a


    slight raise of his eyebrow, he tossed his phone aside, stood up, and left the room, saying, “Wait a


    moment.”


    As he spoke, he walked out of the room. However, he quickly returned, this time carrying an extra chair


    in his hand.


    Celine suddenly realized that she had taken Rowen''s seat.


    Rowen directly ced the chair next to her. “Hand me the papers.”


    He was quite straightforward. He picked up the paper and first read through her problem-solving


    approach, which also included An''s method of solving the problem.


    Rowen scoffed. “An himself is a dabbler. Aren''t you afraid your math will worsen if you ask him for


    tutoring?”


    Celine, feeling embarrassed, said, “This question is too difficult. However, An has done a great job


    exining the other questions.”


    Rowen couldn''t stand her praising An''s teaching skills. “You''ve been tutored by him for over a month,


    and you''ve barely passed. Is that what you call good teaching?”


    Celine pursed her lips slightly, feeling that wasn''t An''s problem. “I''ve always been bad at math.”


    Rowen nced down at her. “That''s because you haven''t found the right teacher.”


    He tugged at the corner of his mouth, pulling a pencil from a holder nearby. “Ignoring the simple


    solutions and opting for such aplex one, I''d be surprised if he could exin it to you clearly.”


    Celine noticed that Rowen didn''t seem to like An very much, so she decided not to speak up for An


    anymore. “So, how should we resolve this, Rowie?”


    She didn''t speak up for An anymore, which somewhat relieved Rowen. “Let''s start with the question,”


    he said.


    “Oh, okay.”


    She had to admit that Rowen''s talent in mathematics was truly impressive.


    Even though it was the same problem, he could effortlessly find the simplest way to solve it.


    In addition, because of his exceptional memory, he could even tell her which book and which example


    problem the question had appeared in while exining. His every problem-solving step was simple,


    straightforward, clear, and concise.


    In just twenty minutes, Celine understood the entire problem-solving process and was also amazed at


    Rowen''s understanding of the textbook examples.


    Rowen never needed to memorize theorems because he could derive them himself.


    Celine also realized that geniuses'' learning methods differed from those of ordinary people like them.


    However, Rowen exined it so thoroughly and in such detail that she even began to understand why


    Rowen''s initial approach was different from An''s.


    “Do you understand?”


    Celine was suddenly tapped on the head with a pen. She nced at Rowen beside her and nodded.


    “Understood.”


    Rowen spoke, lifting a hand to toss an Ustranasion textbook in front of her. “It''s only fair to return the


    favor. Help me memorize some vocabry.”


    Celine blinked in confusion. “How can I help you with memorizing vocabry, Rowie?” Isn''t learning


    vocabry something that requires one''s own hard work?


    Rowen snorted. “Isn''t your Ustranasion grade pretty good? How do you usually memorize vocabry?”


    Celine then understood what Rowen meant and picked up the Ustranasion textbook he had tossed


    onto the table.


    Rowen''s Ustranasion textbook was as good as new. It was free of notes and didn''t even have a name


    written on it.


    Celine flipped to thest page of the vocabry list, feeling it was wrong for her to even write on the


    pages. “I''ve been memorizing them phically.”


    Rowen had a photographic memory, and his spoken Ustranasion was impressive. However, he didn''t


    like memorizing vocabry. His usual practice was to nce over the word list just before an exam,


    considering that sufficient.


    “Let''s memorize it following your way, then.”


    Celine slightly pursed her lips. “So, how far have you gotten with your vocabry?”


    “I''ve never memorized it.” He leaned back, twirling a pen in his hand.


    Celine felt awkward. She picked up her math notebook and flipped to thest page. “How about I help


    you memorize twenty words every day from now on?”


    “Sure.”


    Celine spoke as she copied down twenty words. She left a little space for each phic alphabet. After


    she finished, she ced the notebook in front of Rowen. “You can read all these words, right, Rowie?”


    Rowen nced at the Ustranasion textbook. “Yes.”


    “Just remember the words following the way I''ve helped you divide it. It''ll be quick. Even the word with


    the most sybles only has four phic alphabets.”


    Rowen nced at her. “I understand. You continue digesting your mathematical questions while I


    review my vocabry for ten minutes.”


    “All right.”


    Celine hadn''t expected Rowen to be quite diligent during his own time, which was quite different from


    his behavior at school.


    She reviewed the test paper once more. After finishing, Celine nced sideways at Rowen.


    Seeing her look over, Rowen pushed the Ustranasion textbook toward her. “I''ve finished memorizing.


    You can check now.”


    Celine was taken aback. Even at my fastest, it''ll take her at least fifteen minutes to memorize twenty


    words, and I can''t even guarantee I''ll remember them all. Has Rowen managed to memorize them all in


    less than ten minutes?


    She looked at Rowen and blinked. “Okay. I''ll check your progress now.”


    “Okay.”


    Rowen twirled his pen, lifting his gaze to nce at her.


    Ten minutester.


    “Rowie, actually, if you record your vocabry while studying, you could memorize them all on your


    way to school.” His memory is so good. How I envy him.
