Chen Lei's idea failed.

His parents were already happy to have someone to keep him under control. As long as Master Gu was willing to take care of him, they would have loved to pack him up and give him away as someone else's son.

So Chen Lei practiced calligraphy at Gu's house for an entire afternoon. After the practice, his face and hands were covered with ink. Not to mention that he refused to eat dinner when Lin Qingping invited him to, he didn't even wash his hands. He threw down his calligraphy work that was like a dog paddling, and ran away from Gu's house as fast as he could.

But running is useless, after all, there is still the next day, the day after that...

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

It's time to submit your book review.

After Zhiyuan and Chen Lei played chess for a week, they suddenly realized that they had not read a single word of the book they wanted to read.

This morning, Chen Lei did not dare to take out the chess pieces. He just held a book and read it fiercely. Not to mention writing a review, there were some words in the book that he hadn't even recognized yet. He even used a dictionary to look up words while reading. You can imagine how inefficient he was.

At noon, Gu Juncheng came to collect the homework. The two of them resigned themselves to their fate, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

This is almost the same as handing in a blank paper on an exam, right?

Gu Juncheng looked at the white paper in front of them and just asked them which book they were reading.

The two of them handed in the books they hadn't read a few pages of dejectedly, and the reading room fell into silence. After the silence, Chen Lei and Zhiyuan were happily punished to copy a reading review of about a thousand words fifty times.

"Look at how others write! You can always remember it after copying it!"

These were the words Gu Juncheng threw to the two of them, and then he left.

Chen Lei's eyes widened, "How much did your father say to copy?"

Zhiyuan also looked worried, "Fifty!"

Chen Lei was on the verge of collapse, but he managed to find his reason. "Zhiyuan, that's your father, not mine. I can't listen to him, right?"

Zhiyuan didn’t know, he only knew that he was going crazy.

However, people can always find the light of hope in despair. Zhiyuan’s light of hope is his many companions on the island!

He distributed the task of repetition fifty times, and used the nougat made by Lin Qingping as bait, and successfully exchanged it for forty times.

Just when he collected the forty copies and was excitedly preparing to hand them in when his father Gu came back, he suddenly realized what these forty copies were!

He and Chen Lei were the oldest children on the island. The other children were either in a lower grade than him or had not gone to school. For example, Fang Yi next door could not read at all! What the hell was this drawing!

He had already foreseen what would be waiting for him when he handed in something like this.

Seeing that the time was running out before he had to hand in his penalty copying, he gritted his teeth and selected some barely passable parts from the forty copies, but he was still halfway to finish and there was no way he could finish it.

Finally, in this summer vacation, at dusk on this island when the setting sun dyed half the sky red, Zhiyuan felt melancholy.

"What's going on?" Lin Qingping came to ask him. Seeing that he quickly hid a large stack of papers behind him, he guessed something and laughed, "Didn't your friends complete the task for you?"

Zhiyuan's eyes widened, "Mom, how did you know?"

"What don't I know?" Lin Qingping snorted, "What do you think your father Gu doesn't know?"

Zhiyuan was anxious, "Did Father Gu know that I hired someone to write for me?"

"No, he went on a mission today and probably won't be back until tomorrow."

Zhiyuan suddenly felt that there was hope! "When will you be back tomorrow?"

"I don't know. Maybe in the morning, maybe at any time during the day, he won't tell me."

But Zhiyuan felt that as long as he didn't come back tonight, there was still hope!

He looked at Lin Qingping, hope glittering in his eyes, "Mom, Mom, I beg you, please help me?"

"What do you mean? Do you want me to copy it for you?"

Zhiyuan nodded vigorously, "Mom, please, please? Just this once, really, I will never make such a mistake again, and I will never play around again. I will read books, practice calligraphy, and study hard."

Gu Juncheng returned at noon the next day, smelling the smell of sea water, and a jeep took him to his doorstep.

The home is in order.

Lin Qingping was taking a nap in the room. Zhiyuan was also taking a nap, which was rare. On the table, there was a neatly arranged stack of manuscript papers. The first sheet was an article copied in Zhiyuan's handwriting.

Is this mission accomplished?

Gu Juncheng didn't bother to eat as he read the pictures one by one. His calm face became more and more tense as he read further.

Finally, put the manuscript paper aside.

He first took a shower to wash off the dust and sweat from this trip, and then, wet with water dripping from his hair, he pushed open the door of his and Lin Qingping's room.

Lin Qingping sleeps so soundly...

He pushed the door open and came in, standing beside her bed. He even called her several times, but she didn't hear him at all.

"Lin Qingping?"

Still no response.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Lin Qingping, you failed five times!"

Lin Qingping was really tired.

In order to help the child copy as punishment, she stayed up all night and checked it again with Zhiyuan. She found that among the articles that Zhiyuan thought were qualified, many were still not acceptable. Since they had to copy it again, they might as well rewrite them all!

So, I started copying after dinner last night and continued until around nine this morning, and it was only a few hours before I went to bed...

This intensity is almost leaving a shadow on Lin Qingping. Lin Qingping is copying in his dreams!

At this moment, she was copying enthusiastically in her dream, and Gu Juncheng's voice of "failed five times" woke her up from her dream.

She sat up and yelled, "Nonsense! How can I fail? Ouch——"

Before he could finish his words, he screamed and jumped up too hard, hitting Gu Juncheng on the chin.

It also woke Lin Qingping up.

"You...you..." Lin Qingping covered her forehead and looked at Gu Juncheng standing in front of her. She felt a little guilty. She didn't know whether the word "unqualified" just now was a dream she had seen or it was really said by Gu Juncheng. She didn't dare to ask, but just said, "What time is it? Have you eaten?"

Gu Juncheng looked at her with a half-smile on his face, "I also want to ask, have you eaten yet?"

"I've...eaten." Lin Qingping didn't dare to say that she didn't even eat breakfast properly, let alone lunch!

"Really? I see you guys are working so hard on copying, and you still have time to make lunch?" Gu Juncheng asked suddenly.

Lin Qingping was stunned and denied it flatly, "What do you mean we copied it with great difficulty? I didn't copy it, it was Zhiyuan who copied it!"

"Oh? Really?" Gu Juncheng stared at her, "Lin Qingping, are you trying to test my ability to judge people?"

Lin Qingping was certain that something was wrong and Gu Juncheng must have discovered it.

Gu Juncheng threw Zhiyuan's pile of manuscripts in front of her, "Do you want to tell me how many times you copied it, or do you want me to count it for you? And by the way, how many times Zhiyuan copied it himself?"

Now that the truth had been revealed, Lin Qingping was calm instead. "Yes, I copied it. I helped copy it more than ten or twenty times. So what? You acted like a grim god and scared the child. Are you going to make the child stay up for days and nights to copy it as punishment?"
