Chapter 76

A few days ago, Ye Yin asked his mom what the reason was if he thought a girl was very pretty.

His mom told him that loving beauty is human nature. If he just thought a girl was pretty, he should praise her. Sincere compliments can make people feel genuinely happy.

However, if besides thinking she was pretty, he also wanted to get close to her, he couldn't just compliment her. He would also need to be careful not to do things she disliked.

As for other connections, just leave it to fate.

Ye Yin didn't fully understand these words, but he understood one thing. Shen Yue was competing with him to cry, so if he wanted to make Shen Yue cry, he had to win the competition.

From young till now, Ye Yin had participated in many competitions, but no matter what competition, he didn't care. If he could win then he won, if not then forget it. Anyway he had come with a learning attitude. Learning more was a gain.

Although deep down, he also knew he wouldn't lose.

He thought it would be the same this time.

Ye Yin: [Compete in what?]

Bai Pangpang: [Hurry and compete in mental arithmetic with Ye Yin!!!! Yesterday I watched a show with my sister, Shen Yue's mental arithmetic is so cool!]

Gao Qin: [Is it the part where she earns money?]

Bai Pangpang: [Yes yes yes! Did you watch it too?]

Gao Qin: [I watched it. My dad said that part was quite pitiful, watch carefully and cherish it.]

Bai Pangpang: [You're so annoying.]

Gao Qin: [But Shen Yue was really amazing in that part, not just mental arithmetic, being able to remember was quite impressive too.]

Qing Xiaoyu: [Hurry hurry hurry!! Just compete with Ye Yin in mental arithmetic!! Ye Yin, you wouldn't dare right!]

When it came to competing in learning with others, Ye Yin had never lost before, let alone not dare.

He only replied with one word: [Okay.]

But since it was a mental arithmetic competition, typing couldn't show the speed of the two people. And they couldn't know through the screen if the answers were really calculated mentally.

After discussing, the classmates felt it would be fairest to have the two people turn on video. The rest of the classmates would type the questions on the public chat, while Shen Yue and Ye Yin with their videos on would be the first to say the answer out loud to win.

Shen Yue very readily turned on her camera, and a mysteriously angled face with loose hair appeared on the screen.

Qing Xiaoyu: ? Ye Yin: ?

Mi Qian: ?

Gao Qin: ?

Other classmates: ?

After almost everyone had typed a question mark, Shen Yue was still oblivious. She held her phone at the odd angle, not caring about her image at all.

In the end Qing Xiaoyu couldn't stand it. She called Shen Yue and told her to put her phone on the table. She didn't expect her to adjust it to the most beautiful angle, just looking normal would do.

Shen Yue didn't understand, but in order to cry better, she still straightened her phone after ending the call.

Then, a still chubby, delicate and cute little face appeared!

Qing Xiaoyu: [That's better, what was that thing just now.]

Gao Qin: [Hahaha, you really called her.]

Qing Xiaoyu: [Of course I had to.]

Mi Qian: [Little Ye Yin, you didn't run away right?]

Only then did everyone notice Ye Yin still hadn't appeared. Everyone guessed that maybe he had escaped.

After the chat blew up, Ye Yin quickly replied, [Coming, so annoying.]

Not long after he sent the message, Ye Yin's delicate little face also appeared on screen. He was wearing casual home clothes, without glasses, looking very relaxed.

Only, the flush on both his cheeks was very suspicious.

A classmate noticed this and asked why his face was red. Ye Yin impatiently said, "I was just running."

Luckily, no one paid it any mind. Everyone's attention quickly turned to the questions.

The questions didn't appear one by one.

There could be multiple questions appearing simultaneously on the public chat. At times like this, they had to answer all the current questions on the public chat in one breath to pass.

There would be a maximum of 8 questions on the public chat at once.

After the rules were set, a host who appeared from nowhere said start. Questions then started popping up on screen.

In order to cry, Shen Yue tried very hard to use everything she had learned to calculate. But she still couldn't match Ye Yin's speed.

Ye Yin was a true all-round genius, especially in math.

Calculation was the foundation of math. Mastering multiple calculation methods allowed minimizing unnecessary steps to achieve the fastest speed, something Ye Yin had always pursued.

For questions like those from his classmates, he only needed one look to know the optimal solution. Going through it in his mind would produce the answer, faster than using a calculator. After all, you still had to manually input the numbers into a calculator, which took time.

This competition had no suspense. Although Shen Yue was also very capable, Ye Yin was more capable.

Ye Yin won.

But he somehow felt uneasy.

Ye Yin couldn't describe the feeling. It wasn't happy or sad. If he had to describe it, he felt flustered, but didn't know what he was flustered about.

Looking at the scoreboard on the public chat, Shen Yue knew she had lost.

But she still didn't feel like crying.

Could it be that she hadn't tried her best just now? Nonsense, she had really racked her brains just now, her head almost started smoking.

So why hadn't she cried?

Before Shen Yue could figure it out, there was suddenly a knock on her door. Shen Yue temporarily forgot about the phone still on the table and went to open the door.

When she opened the door, guess who it was! It was surprisingly her fourth brother who cried beautifully!

Shen Jize's eyes still looked red, as if he had just cried. Seeing Shen Yue open the door, he nervously handed over what he was holding.

Shen Yue took it and found it was an onion.

Shen Yue: ?

Shen Yue: !

"Eldest Brother said you might need this and asked me to bring it to you," Shen Jize relayed what Eldest Brother had said after hearing about Shen Yue's actions. Eldest Brother seemed troubled for a while, then asked him to find an onion.

Although Shen Jize didn't understand why earlier, seeing Shen Yue's surprised then realizing expression now, he suddenly understood that Eldest Brother was right.

His little sister did need this thing.

Shen Yue regretted not thinking of using an onion earlier. Otherwise why did she need to rack her brains?

In a jiffy she broke open the onion and waved it by her eyes. She felt the tears coming.

Great! I look so good crying!

But immediately, Shen Yue sensed trouble. She was going to have a runny nose.

Oh no oh no, my nose is going to run!

So Shen Yue decisively ended the video call and frantically looked for tissue.

After a deafening round of snorting, Shen Yue's nose was flowing freely again.

She didn't know the chat had exploded after her teardrop.

Ye Yin also stared blankly at the black screen, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
