The sun dipped lower on the horizon, casting long shadows over the courtyard.@@novelbin@@

The final check was filled with immense tension.

The sun was nearly gone, yet Hyang was still struggling to distinguish between Chen Hour and Xu Hour.

They were completely different characters, yet to Hyang, they must have looked similar.

Maybe it was because both had a closed top?

"Damn… Learning classical characters is really tough. Are we about to break our daughter with this?"

A small, creeping worry entered my mind—was Hyang going to develop anxiety over this?

In my past life, I had once heard a saying: "For every ten new English immersion kindergartens, a new child psychology clinic opens."

Now, I wasn’t sure if Hyang was experiencing English-level stress, or if she just needed a psychologist.

“Alright, Hyang, you can do it! Try again—Chen Hour!”

Hwa-eun’s gentle voice encouraged Hyang, while Grandfather, Father-in-law, and Mother-in-law all held their breath, watching where she would move.

Chrr… chrrt…

But Hyang hesitated again, hovering between Chen and Xu, unable to decide.

Seeing this, Cho suddenly stretched out an antenna and lightly tapped Chen Hour.

Tuk…

That was a huge mistake.

At Cho’s interference, Hyang suddenly lunged at him, shrieking in outrage.

Chrrr! Chrrr! Chrrt!

The message was clear: “I knew it already! I KNEW IT!”

After all, when you’re solving a problem or memorizing multiplication tables, nothing is more infuriating than having an older sibling try to act smarter than you.

Backseat learners were the worst.

"Wait a minute… doesn't this technically make Cho a 'backseat bug'?"

Strictly speaking, centipedes were arthropods, not insects, but in this world, they were still classified as bugs.

So technically, Cho was acting like a backseat bug.

As Hyang continued growling at Cho, the poor centipede turned to me in shock, wiggling its antennae as if saying, “What the hell did I do wrong?”

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, I decided to take Cho outside for a bit.

“Alright, Cho, come with me. Let’s step outside.”

Chrrt.
