While I.M. Pei was eating, Bei Qixi stood by and watched.

I.M. Pei's eating habits are very well-educated, and he can hardly hear the sound of "sighing" when he whispers. Instead, the sound of Bei swallowing saliva on the side is particularly obvious.

Bei Qixi was particularly regretful. If he had known this, he would have asked the chef to make one more.

It’s all my fault for grandpa. She had been chatting with her for so long just now, which made her hungry. Otherwise, she should have been lying on the bed and dreaming about her. Maybe there are all kinds of delicious food in her dream.

While swallowing his saliva, Bei Qixi touched his stomach.

I.M. Pei suddenly put down his fork.

"Brother, are you not going to eat?" Bei Qixi asked softly with his little head raised, his eyes flashing, and his eyes flashed, looking particularly energetic.

"Well, I won't eat anymore." She drooled with greed, which completely affected his appetite.

Bei Qixi's expression became particularly regretful, "Ah? That's so wasteful. There's still half!"

"Then you eat it." Pei said casually.

Unexpectedly, Bei Qixi deserved to be very fast. After saying "Okay", he hugged the chair beside him, took the bowl in front of him, and ate it with a savor on I.M. Pei's fork.

I.M. Pei was amazed by the series of actions. He just said it casually.

But why do you feel that Bei Qixi has been waiting for him to say this?

At least he has to wait for him to get a new fork.

"This is my fork." Pei kindly reminded.

Bei Qixi's mouth was stuffed with noodles. She shook her head and said in confusion: "It's okay, I don't dislike you, brother."

I.M. Pei: "..."

He looked at her casual eating behavior and thought to himself, but he disliked her.

Later, as the hunger was slowly diluted by food, Bei Qixi remembered the serious matter. She apologized and did not forget to eat, and said vaguely: "Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you take the blame for me. I have already explained this to my grandfather, but I still have to thank you."

I.M. Pei said in a plain tone.

I.M. Pei's reaction was too dull. Bei Qixi said "Huh" and turned his head to look at him, "Brother, don't you ask me why I told my grandfather?"

I.M. Pei spoke in a clear tone, "Because grandpa knew that this was not what I did, and you caused the disaster."

"You?" Bei Qixi was dumbfounded and felt incredible, "How did you know!"

I.M. Pei: "Do you think grandpa doesn't know our nature? You can only suffer a loss by being clever in front of grandpa. With just one look, grandpa knows what you are going to do next."

Because of I.M. Pei's words, Bei Qixi choked, and a little fear appeared in her eyes without any impurities. "You said grandpa so terrible."

I.M. Pei still looked very calm, "This is not terrible, it is the accumulation after seeing countless people. The little cleverness you think is just a joke to grandpa, so you don't have to care about it at all."

"You, you..." Bei Qixi was a little scared by I.M. Pei's remarks. She pointed at I.M. Pei, but couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, she said incoherently, "You said that grandpa, I don't like you anymore."

I.M. Pei lifted his eyelids, this childish ghost. Who cares about her likes?

"Hurry up and go back to bed." It's getting late, and I.M. Pei doesn't want to talk too much with her.

At this time, Bei Qixi remembered his main purpose before he could say it. He put down his fork and turned his head to look at I.M. Pei, "Brother, you have to help me."

When I.M. Pei heard her tone, she had a headache, "What trouble have you caused?"

He suddenly realized that no wonder she came to deliver food to herself in the middle of the night, and it turned out that she had something to ask for.

Bei Qixi looked sincere and raised his right hand and sweared, "I won't let you take the blame for me anymore." Then she asked blankly: "Brother, do you know what "Thousand Characters" is?"

The topic of Bai Xixi successfully aroused I.M. Pei's curiosity, "When did you also become interested in Chinese culture?"

Bei Qixi was dismayed in the chair and said indifferently: "I'm not interested. But my grandfather asked me to recite "Thousand Character Text" and I couldn't recite it, so I couldn't have supper tomorrow."

I see.

"The Thousand Characters of the Book of the Three Kingdoms was compiled by Zhou Xingsi, the assistant minister of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. It consists of a rhyme composed of a thousand Chinese characters. At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang ordered people to select 1,000 non-repetitive Chinese characters from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works to compile it into a text..." Pei I.M. Pei, who has been full of poetry and books since childhood, told the history of "The Thousand Characters of the Song".

However, before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Bei Qixi. She said with a confused look on her face: "Brother, I only understand the word China you said just now. Can you help me recite this "Thousand Character Text" before tomorrow's dinner?" Bei Qixi didn't care about the origin and origin of "Thousand Character Text". She only cared about whether tomorrow's dinner was settled.

I.M. Pei looked at her carefully, and then replied very realistically: "Actually, it's nothing to eat for a dinner. After a night's sleep, you'll get through it." He really didn't think that Bei Qixi could recite the "Thousand Characters" in just one day. It's not that Bei Qixi was dull, but that she didn't have enough concentration. You should know that when she was in kindergarten, every time the teacher said that she would be the first person to rush out of the classroom whenever the class was over, she was always absent in class.

After hearing what I.M. Pei said, Bei Qixi was a little hesitant, "Is "Thousand Characters" so difficult? Brother, if you say it, how long will it take to memorize it?" Bei Qixi was thinking that if it was really too difficult, she would give up. So she would not work hard all day and still have no supper in the end, so why should she waste her effort?

I.M. Pei stretched out an index finger.

Bei Qixi immediately lost hope, "Ah? You'll have to spend a week too. Then I'd better tell my grandfather tomorrow morning not to recite it."

I.M. Pei rolled her eyes, "No."

Bei Qixi took a moment, "Ah", "It's not a week, is that one day?"

I.M. Pei really had the urge to drive her out of the room, "One hour, when you were so old, I spent one hour memorizing the "Thousand Characters"." I.M. Pei's implication was that if he had finished reciting the same difficulty content until now, his time would be greatly reduced.
