Chapter 80

"Are you sure?"

"I heard your sister calling someone else brother! Wow, my god, kids these days..."

"Then what?"

"What then?"

"You heard her calling brother, then what?"

"Then I called you."

"Niu Kaihuai, you're overreacting. It's not a big deal yet, I'm keeping an eye on things. I'm just giving you a heads up first. I told you not to let her go to school, but you just wouldn't listen. See, look what happened now...she got noticed..."

Niu Kaihuai kept chattering on, but Shen Yichen had already hung up the phone.

He waved over his secretary, "Change my ticket to the earliest flight out."

The secretary was a little worried, "Mr. Shen, won't you rest a bit more?"

"I'll rest when I get back."

Niu Kaihuai wasn't bothered about being hung up on by Shen Yichen. He just looked at Ye Yin a couple more times, instantly feeling like he knew what was up. Then he started gathering the students back to their seats.

With this interruption, the commotion that had started because of Shen Yue was nipped in the bud before it could really kick off.

From another perspective, it also saved Ye Yin, who was still stunned from the earlier blow. Ye Yin sank back into thought.

It didn't impact Shen Yue at all. After the next class, Qing Xiaoyu grabbed her again and lectured her for a long time about not calling other boys brother randomly.

Shen Yue remembered.

At lunch, Shen Yue went to eat with Zou Xuerong and Jiang Shiwen. Under Jiang Shiwen's fair rejection of all-around, no-dead-ends protection from everyone, Ye Yin didn't find a chance to get near.

In the afternoon, Qing Xiaoyu kept a wary eye on Shen Yue's surroundings, and Ye Yin still didn't find an opportunity. He almost got diagnosed with a serious illness that needed treatment by Zhuo Wenfei.

In summary...it was miserable.

But when Ye Yin looked at the hair accessory Shen Yue was wearing on her head, he still felt happy.

...

Shen Yichen rushed off the plane and headed straight for the school.

By this time, through chatting with lucky classmates, Niu Kaihuai already understood the reason for the strange atmosphere in the class today. Adding in Ye Yin's abnormal behavior, the truth was obvious.

"The cause of the incident today was that classmates wanted to comfort Shen Yue, so they agreed to bring her some snacks and little gifts." Niu Kaihuai held his notebook that was only as big as his palm, reporting to Shen Yichen while scribbling away on it.

Shen Yichen listened and nodded. He was very pleased that Shen Yue was able to get along well with her classmates. From the surveillance, she also hardly fell asleep in class recently.

Whether she actually absorbed anything from the lessons was another matter.

"Also, according to my investigative data, 80% of the class thinks Shen Yue looks very pretty when she cries."

Hearing this, Shen Yichen wanted to sigh again.

From when Shen Jize told him about this, he knew it spelled trouble. Sure enough, waiting for him right here.

"She cried in class?"

"No, it was yesterday when she was competing in mental math with a boy classmate over video. After she lost, she cried a little in the class group video chat."

For some reason, Shen Yichen felt like things weren't so simple. "Around what time did she cry?"

"Around 8:30 at night."

Right, Shen Yichen understood now. Shen Yue's tears were somehow still related to him after all.

"What was that you mentioned on the phone about her calling someone else brother?"

"Ah...that." Niu Kaihuai flipped back a few more pages in his notebook and started reading. "Shen Yue was playing with a female classmate. The classmate had her call her sister, and she did. Then a male classmate told her to call him brother, and she foolishly went and..."

Slap. Niu Kaihuai's head got whacked.

Shen Yichen, who had swiftly dished out and retracted the strike, pretended nothing happened. "Who's foolish?"

Niu Kaihuai felt wronged. "Not foolish then, incredibly smart, your super smart little sister called a boy classmate brother, that's what happened."

After understanding the situation, Shen Yichen had an in-depth exchange with Niu Kaihuai. It was about time too.

Shen Yichen glanced at his watch and got up to go meet his sister at the classroom door after school, and also take a look at which punk had induced Shen Yue into calling him brother.

And so, Niu Kaihuai, who was just about to get off work, was forcibly dragged to the classroom by Shen Yichen again.

The two of them stood outside the window, and Niu Kaihuai pointed out Ye Yin's spot for Shen Yichen. He also flipped open his little notebook to detail Ye Yin's awards over the years to Shen Yichen.

In conclusion, "This Ye Yin kid is a genius among geniuses. Even in the class of geniuses you put together, he's still the undisputed number one."

If not for his young age, Niu Kaihuai actually felt he wouldn't be a bad match.

Shen Yichen didn't speak, just watching Shen Yue chatter in whispers with Qing Xiaoyu, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curving up.

Soon, class ended.

Shen Yichen was just about to go into the classroom to help Shen Yue pack up when he saw the kid Niu Kaihuai had introduced as Ye Yin rush up to Shen Yue.

Really rush.

To the extent that no one reacted in time. By the time Ye Yin had reached Shen Yue's side, he...

"Shen Yue, I like you. Be my girlfriend."
