Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 59 Counseling
In winter, it gets dark early. Lao Liu got the two people out of the car at the door of the villa, then went to park the car. Li Xu then took Luo Shuangshuang home.

Li Xu now has learned the habit of listening and has passed the age of showing off. He would just pick two topics and let Luo Shuangshuang express herself while he listened. Originally, this routine worked well on many people, but Luo Shuang didn't seem to buy it... She didn't talk much, and it was obvious that she only expressed her opinions seriously on things that interested her.

The brief contact was enough for Li Xu to form an initial impression of Luo Shuangshuang in his mind.

An excellent student since childhood, with excellent grades and high IQ, but his personality... is a little arrogant.

In addition, although her family background has not been revealed, judging from her behavior and what she is wearing, she probably comes from an ordinary family.

She deliberately maintained an appearance of self-respect, but this made her self-respect more vulnerable. For such a girl, Li Xu's idea was that the best way to get along with her was to treat her sincerely and not to deliberately cater to her.

Luo Shuangshuang sat on the sofa. Li Xu poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. Luo Shuangshuang shook her head and said, "No need to pour tea. I just drank a lot of tea in the tea room. Let's go directly to your study room. I'm here to work."

"That's okay too."

Li Xu has a special study room for studying. Since there is no hostess in the house, there are many vacant rooms. After Luo Shuangshuang followed Li Xu into the room, she was quickly attracted by a clay jar on his bookshelf... The jar looked very rough in shape, which was very different from the other exquisite ornaments in the room.

Li Xu noticed Luo Shuangshuang's gaze and asked with a smile, "How about this jar?"

Luo Shuangshuang shook her head: "I don't understand these things... Anyway, it's not something I can afford to play with for the time being."

"You have a misunderstanding about this thing."

"What misunderstanding?"

"It's not expensive... How about this, guess how much this thing costs?"

"boring."

Li Xu smiled, walked over, picked up the jar, weighed it, and put it back. Then he said seriously, "Remember that smart elementary school student I just told you about?"

"Ok?"

"A while ago, I was quite naughty and threatened to drop out of school, so my dad sent me to the countryside for three months."

"Oh, you have such a history? Oh, I see. That's why you need to take extra classes... Can going to the countryside really change your perception?"

"It depends on the person..." Li Xu didn't elaborate on this topic and continued, "I had a pretty good relationship with the little boy I met in the countryside. He liked me very much. Of course, one reason was that I was also quite smart and had a high IQ. He felt like he had met someone like me. In short, he kind of admired me. Can you understand that?"

Luo Shuangshuang looked at Li Xu with some suspicion. To be honest, she really didn't believe it.

"Before I left, he gave me this clay jar, which he made himself. I've received many gifts since I was a child, but none of them are as meaningful as this one, so I put it in the most conspicuous place in my room... right here."

"Then you...are a very loyal and righteous person."

"Isn't it inappropriate to say that I am loyal and righteous?"

"But it's a pity that although the boy is smart, if he lives in the countryside, well..." Luo Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment before sighing, "He will miss a lot of opportunities." In fact, this is already a more euphemistic way of saying it.

"Yes, so I plan to sponsor him to go to college. It should be in the next few days. He will come to the city to take the entrance exam for a primary school. It's an affiliated primary school of the best No. 6 Middle School in our city."

Luo Shuangshuang looked at Li Xu with some surprise: "You want to support him?"

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get straight to the point... That's my desk over there. Um, I'll go to the e-sports room next door and move a chair over." Li Xu asked Luo Shuangshuang to wait for a moment, then went out to move the chair.

At this time, Luo Shuangshuang looked around the room curiously.

The floor heating continuously supplied heat. Luo Shuangshuang's eyes quickly swept around and were first caught by the groups of imposing bookcases. They were all made of cherry wood, with mortise and tenon joints that fit together perfectly. The cabinets were full of gold-stamped hardcover books, foreign books, and ancient books stacked in rows. Many of the book spines were brand new, and even the creases from opening could not be found. There were also sets of customized high-end notebooks with brand new covers, still as crisp as they had been when they left the factory.

Li Xu had also come in at this time. He pushed a gaming chair from the next gaming room and said with a smile, "I can only trouble you to make this gaming chair. It should be quite comfortable."

Luo Shuangshuang withdrew her gaze. "This room is filled with expensive and beautiful things, but it lacks the atmosphere of diligent study and knowledge-seeking."

Li Xu answered frankly: "Yes, I didn't study much before."

Then the formal tutoring began. Li Xu's demands were very goal-oriented. At this stage, his goal was to get a relatively good score in the final exam, so the focus was naturally on the knowledge learned this semester.

"Where do I start?"

"It's better to start from the beginning..." "Then start from the gathering."

Luo Shuangshuang, feeling a little nervous and unconfident, began to flip through the math book, explaining each knowledge point to Li Xu one by one, including the concepts, properties, corresponding formulas, and question types. After talking for a while, her mentality changed.

"I see. The complement is a set that takes a small part of the larger circle and creates a smaller circle. The remaining parts form another set, which is the complement." Li Xu touched his chin and asked, "Is that correct?"

"That's what I mean..."

"If you don't understand math, can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Ok?"

"Haha, I'm afraid I don't fully understand this part of the knowledge yet. Well, once I roughly understand it, I'll find someone who's a little dumber than me and explain it to him. Once he understands it clearly, he should have no problem mastering this part of the knowledge."

"Feynman Learning Method?"

"So you know it too?"

Luo Shuangshuang remained silent, then shook her head: "Mathematics is very logical. I think your logic is not bad, much better than I thought. Let's continue."

The mathematics in the first semester of the first year of high school is indeed not that complicated, and the content is not much. It only has three major parts: sets, functions, exponentials and logarithmic functions. It does not take much time to really understand the concepts of these terms and master the properties. The difficulty lies in the types of questions derived from these contents.

For example, the proof of the monotonicity and parity of functions is cumbersome, requiring setting values, making differences, transforming, and determining signs, and rigorously deriving step by step. The properties of functions must be used to compare sizes and solve inequalities, and flexible switching between different functions is required, which requires a high level of comprehensive application ability.

When encountering some difficult parts, Luo Shuangshuang had to stop and break down the difficult points that he didn't understand and explain them in detail.

Li Xu listened very seriously, concentrating fully. His mind followed Luo Shuangshuang's narration and worked rapidly. Naturally, he could feel the progress...

He was also more and more glad that he had made the decision to hire a tutor. Needless to say, Luo Shuangshuang's math level was excellent. There was no comparison with her teaching level. Li Xu was not good at evaluating her, but in any case, he was able to explain it to him, and that was enough.

His goal was just to have someone who could help him quickly review these knowledge points. It didn't matter even if some parts were skipped over. The next step was to find someone to explain to and complete the most important part of learning... output. Therefore, Luo Shuangshuang's level was enough for him.

Time passed, and before they knew it, it was completely dark outside. Aunt Zhang called them outside to eat.

Li Xu smiled and said, "Take a rest first and have dinner at my house. I think the effect is quite good."

Luo Shuangshuang stretched and nodded. This was not a very difficult job. If she came to tutor him at this time, she would have plenty of time to do her own things during the day. She was very satisfied.

"By the way, what do you like to do in your daily life?" Li Xu asked casually.

"Read comics, anime, or something."

"What do you like to do with your friends?"

Luo Shuangshuang was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I like someone."

"Oh……"

"I also like to play games by myself." Luo Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“That’s amazing!”

"It's not a complicated game, it's one of those..." Luo Shuangshuang looked up at Li Xu and said, "You probably don't know how to play that kind of love game."

"Hmm... a love game? Like the kind where you chat with an AI?"

"AI?" Luo Shuangshuang blinked, her expression a little strange, and shook her head: "I didn't expect you knew the word AI?"

Li Xu thought of the concept of AI, which was still a very unfamiliar word in this era. Luo Shuangshuang felt that it was normal for her, a high school student, not to have heard of it.

"Let me tell you an idea. Since you're a programmer, maybe you can turn my ideas into reality..."

Luo Shuangshuang frowned, thinking that Li Xu was joking... He was so bad at math that he didn't even understand the basic concepts of programming. What kind of ideas could he come up with?

"Then tell me." Luo Shuangshuang answered casually.
