The previous article wrote about how Xiao J finally passed the one self-study exam subject she'd failed twice before. Right after passing, the first person she thought of was her younger brother, who's in his final year of high school.
She said: "Since I felt my own anxiety and memory had improved, I thought that with him in his senior year, he might need a bit of support too."
So she recommended Chienomoto to her brother. He took it for half a month. Below is the conversation between the two siblings.
Big sister asks first whether it's working
Sister asked:
"Has it done anything for you?"
Brother replied:
"My memory's really good."
Sister:
"For real?"
Brother:
"I remember things a lot faster than before."
"For real."
Big sister is more worried about whether he can sleep
Sister fired off three questions in a row: "Did you finish the box?" "Do you need to reorder?" "Does it keep you up at night?" — the care and doting are right there on the page.
Brother answered them one by one: "Nope." "Still got plenty left." "Doesn't seem to affect me." "I can sleep fine."
What the brother said himself
He said: "It's like I'm just not anxious anymore, and it helps me remember things." "Basically, whatever it is, I can remember it for a long time." "It's been really good to me."
The sister mentioned that Chienomoto No. 2 is good for sleep. The brother answered: "That one — if I can already sleep like a log, I don't need it." Straight to the point, the way a senior-year student answers exam questions.
Written before the gaokao
The big day is the day after tomorrow.
Wishing all gaokao students: may you sleep well, remember what you've studied, and write it all down. Do well on what you know, and let go of what you don't. Stay calm, and perform normally.
And wishing all the parents waiting outside the exam hall: let go of the worry, ask a little less, and trust a little more.
