Chapter 235 From today onwards, I will study hard.
"Erli! What did you write?!"
Suddenly, Little Lonely snatched the laptop from the table, then hugged it to his arms and lay down on the tatami mat.
Goto Jiri: "I was just recording the facts."
Little Lonely: "Anyway... this kind of thing can't be written down, and it's even more important not to go to school and talk about it!!"
Goto Jiri looked at her with admiration, "Why? It's because you're so amazing! When you play the guitar by yourself at home, it sounds really good."
"This has nothing to do with how well you play the guitar!"
Uchiha Ling remained silent. He felt that it was somewhat related. If it weren't for Xiao Gudu's daily practice, he probably wouldn't have reached the level of Guitar Hero, the well-known online guitarist.
However, Xiao Erli probably doesn't know that although Xiao Gudu plays exceptionally well on his own, his performance deteriorates when he's with the band due to social anxiety.
Goto Jiri: "Anyway, I'm really looking forward to my sister's live performance the day after tomorrow, I'll definitely go see it!"
Little Lonely didn't know what to say... What to do! Once Erli went to the live performance, she would find that her skill level would decrease as soon as she joined the band.
Watching her younger sister and Ling laughing and talking, Goto Ichiri suddenly thought of something terrible.
"Brother Ling and Sister, I'll go down now."
Uchiha Ryo: "Yeah, go to sleep early."
Goto Jiri waved and went downstairs, leaving behind a conflicted and lonely girl.
Lately, I've been feeling a bit lonely because Erli seems to be looking down on her older sister.
He used to listen to me so well! He was so cute when he was 0 years old and couldn't talk yet.
"Waaah, I feel like I have no authority at all in Erli's eyes as the older sister."
Uchiha Ryo: "You...you don't actually think you have some kind of intimidating aura, do you?"
Little Lonely is feeling down —
The so-called elder sister's pressure is like Haruno, who always overshadows Yukino, or Ijichi Seika, who acts as both an older sister and a mother figure. As for Goto Ichiri...
If she really had any authority, Xiao Erli probably wouldn't have created something like "Pochi-chan's Observation Diary".
"Ling, what should I do?! If I perform poorly at the live performance the day after tomorrow, my image in Erli's eyes will become even worse!"
(Given the family hierarchy of Goto Jiri: Mother > Jiri > Jimiheng ≈ Little Lonely > Father)
"Oh no, if I behave badly tomorrow, then ≈ will completely become >! My status will be even lower than a dog's?!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Are you sure you don't care about Uncle Goto more than that?"
Little Lonely sat on the ground, "Well, there's nothing I can do. After all, in Erli's eyes, my sister and the dog are the same level, so she can't help my dad who's at the bottom of society..."
Uchiha Ryo: "...In short, it's still your social anxiety problem. Once you overcome your social anxiety, you can show your best side to your sister on stage."
Little Lonely sat on the ground, poking at his fingers, "But I can't do it..."
There's no way around it; there are still two days until the official live performance. Unless Uchiha Ryo uses some special methods, such as genjutsu, it's impossible for Kotoko to give a perfect performance during this time.
However, hypnotizing him before each performance is not a good solution; it only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. Uchiha Ryo's goal is to completely cure Xiao Gudu's social anxiety.
"Never mind, don't overthink it. Just perform normally. Also..."
Uchiha Ryo looked at the empty desk. "I haven't helped you with your studies since the exams, have I? Have you been studying at all during the beginning of summer vacation?"
Goto Ichiri: "....."
Uchiha Ryo sat down at the desk and pulled Kotori over as well.
"Anyway, it's still early. You probably aren't used to going to bed this early, so come and study."
Little Lonely: "Um, could we change the option? Like playing the guitar, or surfing the internet..."
Uchiha Ryo: "You've played long enough today, you need to rest. As for going online... at your age, how can you go online every day!"
Little Lonely was dragged here to study, and upon seeing the textbook, he still habitually got a headache.
"Keep it up, Lonely One! Take out your summer homework. How much have you done lately?"
Little Loneliness: "One..."
"One course? You've already finished one? That's pretty fast."
Little Loneliness: "I haven't written a single word..."
Uchiha Ryo sighed, then pulled out a math workbook.
"Come on, your task tonight is to finish the first two pages."
The little boy's lonely eyes welled up with pitiful tears, as if to say: "I don't want to study!"
"Didn't you want to show off your authority as the older sister? Erli is only in second grade now. What if she asks you about school when she's older, and you don't know the answers..."
Little Loneliness: "This..."
"Think about it again, what would happen if Erli found out that your grades were even worse than hers?"
Little Lonely's eyes were vacant; he was lost in his own fantasy world.
Twenty-year-old Goto Ichiri looked at his younger sister with a humble expression.
"Erli, what are your orders?"
Goto Jiri (10 years old): [Little Fish Sister, hurry up and buy me a cake!]
Okay... I'll go right away. Please don't spread my sister's embarrassing past around anymore, Erli.
Goto Natsumi: [Hmph, my sister is so pathetic, so weak and pathetic! She's hopeless now.]
-
Uchiha Ryo: "Hey—wake up! What are you thinking about? If you don't want your cute little sister to look down on you, then pull yourself together, study hard, and overcome your social anxiety."
Goto Ichiri nodded emphatically, "I will definitely do my best. Starting today, I will study hard!"
Ten minutes later...
Little Lonely lay listlessly on the table, unable to solve even three math problems on the page.
Uchiha Ryo: "Well... take it slow, things will get better."
Suddenly, Xiao Gudu picked up the speaker next to his desk. "Um, Ling, can I play some music to change my mood? Instead of studying silently in my room, why not relax with some music..."
Uchiha Ryo glanced at the speaker that Xiao Gudu was holding. "If you can solve the next problem, I'll allow you to play music."
Little Loneliness: "Hmm... okay then."
Uchiha Ryo: "Speaking of which, what kind of music does Little Lonely want to play? Rock?"
"How could that be? It's supposed to be relaxing, you should listen to some Western music..."
As he listened to the Western music, Uchiha Ryo seemed to be deep in thought. Then he closed his math workbook and took out his English textbook.
"Since you yourself said you wanted to listen to Western music, then let's switch to English homework."
Little Loneliness: "...Devil!"
