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 Allan 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. "Allan explained 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 explain it to me again?"

As soon as Rowen pushed the door open, he heard her words. He turned back and glanced 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 placed inside that room of the Lewis residence.

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

The surface of the desk was impeccably 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 glance 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 placed 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 Allan's method of solving the problem.

Rowen scoffed. "Allan 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, Allan has done a great job explaining the other questions."

Rowen couldn't stand her praising Allan'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 Allan's problem. "I've always been bad at math."

Rowen glanced 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 a complex one, I'd be surprised if he could explain it to you clearly." Celine noticed that Rowen didn't seem to like Allan very much, so she decided not to speak up for Allan anymore. "So, how should we resolve this, Rowie?"

She didn't speak up for Allan 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 replace 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 explaining. 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 explained it so thoroughly and in such detail that she even began to understand why Rowen's initial approach was different from Allan's. "Do you understand?"

Celine was suddenly tapped on the head with a pen. She glanced 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 vocabulary."

Celine blinked in confusion. "How can I help you with memorizing vocabulary, Rowie?" Isn't learning vocabulary something that requires one's own hard work?

Rowen snorted. "Isn't your Ustranasion grade pretty good? How do you usually memorize vocabulary?"

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 the last page of the vocabulary list, feeling it was wrong for her to even write on the pages. "I've been memorizing them phonetically."

Rowen had a photographic memory, and his spoken Ustranasion was impressive. However, he didn't like memorizing vocabulary. His usual practice was to glance 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 vocabulary?"

"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 the last 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 phonetic alphabet. After she finished, she placed the notebook in front of Rowen. "You can read all these words, right, Rowie?" Rowen glanced 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 syllables only has four phonetic alphabets."

Rowen glanced at her. "I understand. You continue digesting your mathematical questions while I review my vocabulary 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 glanced 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 glance at her.

Ten minutes later.

"Rowie, actually, if you record your vocabulary while studying, you could memorize them all on your way to school." His memory is so good. How I envy him.
