Luckily, Luis chose the quick wash mode. The bed sheet was laundered within 20 minutes.
Then he put the bed sheet into the dryer. After Alison ate breakfast and went upstairs, he had hugged the bed sheet to his room and was putting it into the wardrobe.
She said, "Luis?"
The room door was closed tightly. She didn't know if he was taking a nap.
Soon, the door was opened. He asked, "Are you full?"
She handed the plate to him and said, "I’m full."
She ate faster than usual but was full.
He took the plate from her hand and said," Thank you. Take your test paper here."
She said, "I'm not in a hurry. You can call me after breakfast."
He glanced at her and said, "I eat fast."
She said, "OK."
She could only go to her room to take her test paper and notebook.
He ate fast indeed. When she came back, he had drunk half of the milk and eaten a sandwich.
She was afraid that one sandwich was not enough for him, so she took three sandwiches for him. It seemed that three sandwiches were still not enough for him.
Seeing her standing at the door blankly, he arched his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you come in?"
She felt embarrassed and pulled her chair into his room.
He said, "Think the question over. It's more complicated than the question in the exercise book last week, but the two questions are similar."
She said, "Alright, let me think it over."
After he reminded her, she looked at the question and realized that it was similar to the question in the exercise book indeed.
He said, "Suppose that you get the clue you need and think in reverse order what other clues you need."
She had a moment of enlightenment and said, "You're amazing."
He clicked his tongue and said, "You're really bad at math."
With the help of Luis, Alison figured out the question with difficulty.
She felt surprised that she could figure out such a difficult question.
She said, "Is it correct?"
He said, "It's correct. I will reward you with the other two questions."
He said as he took an exercise book out of the bookcase, chose two questions and said, "Figure them out to consolidate what you have learned.”
She glanced at him and said, "OK." 'Can I figure them out before lunch?'
