Chapter 81

Shen Yichen:?!

Niu Kaihuai:!!!

Shen Yue: Are these snacks for eating at school or taking home? Girlfriend, who's girlfriend? Forget it, just eat them at school.

Because Ye Yin's confession was so sudden, Shen Yue was still completely confused and didn't realize Ye Yin was talking to her.

Not until Qing Xiaoyu poked her did she turn her head to see Ye Yin, and only then did she realize what was happening.

Ah, this person said he likes her.

Just as Shen Yue's brain had identified this fact, she was interrupted by Shen Yichen who appeared out of nowhere.

Shen Yichen didn't speak directly to Shen Yue, but reached out his hand to Ye Yin, "Hello, I'm Shen Yichen, Shen Yue's older brother."

Ye Yin was stunned for a moment, and shook Shen Yichen's hand, "Hello."

Shen Yichen looked at the obviously still confused Shen Yue, and said to Ye Yin, "Personally, I don't approve of Shen Yue having a romantic relationship at this age, but I heard Teacher Niu say you are excellent, so I think I should give you a chance. Yesterday you and Shen Yue seemed to have a mental math contest, and Shen Yue lost. Tonight I'd like to invite you to have the same contest with Shen Yue's brother. If you win, I'll agree to let you pursue Shen Yue, how about it?"

Ye Yin's anxious heart strangely calmed down after hearing these words.

A contest, he had never lost.

"Okay."

Shen Yue's head turned a little, it seemed that something outrageous had happened in front of her.

Big brother is going to compete with Ye Yin?

Although Shen Yue usually doesn't care about anything around her, she knows Ye Yin is awesome, and big brother is awesome too. Does what they just said mean that if big brother loses to Ye Yin in the contest, she'll be given to Ye Yin?

Realizing this, Shen Yue suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

It really hurt.

She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, and could only let Shen Yichen tidy up her schoolbag for her, and then pulled her away.

Parked at the school gate was the familiar black sedan.

Shen Yue got in, feeling not great.

Seeing Shen Yue keep her head down, Shen Yichen thought she was frightened, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you'll inevitably encounter things like this sooner or later. This time big brother can help you resolve it, but in the future you have to learn to refuse by yourself."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yichen instructed again, "Don't call people brother randomly at school."

Only then did Shen Yue lift her head, "Big brother, what if you lose to Ye Yin?"

Shen Yichen frowned, noticing Shen Yue had used the word 'give', and realized she may have misunderstood something, but he didn't say it directly. Instead he replied, "I won't lose, and I won't give you to someone else. No matter what, you are my little sister."

Only then did Shen Yue lift her head, and she noticed the little gourd pendant she had given to Shen Yichen earlier peeking out from the open collar of his shirt. The little gourd had been pierced to make a hole, and Shen Yichen wore it around his neck on a cord.

Shen Yue's aching heart suddenly felt better.

She unconsciously clenched her fist and said to Shen Yichen, "Then big brother, do your best!"

"It doesn't matter if I do my best, when we get home later, ask your fourth brother to do his best."

"Fourth brother?" "Yes, your fourth brother is much better at this kind of contest than I am."

So when Shen Yichen brought Shen Yue back home, before Shen Jize could express his longing for his beloved big brother, he received a mission from big brother.

To compete in mental math over video with a kid later.

Shen Jize anxiously wrung his hands together, "Can the contest be done without speaking..."

Shen Yichen put his big hand directly on Shen Jize's head, "What do you think, if you don't speak, the other person will say the answer, and you won't have finished writing it down yet. Little Ze, big brother believes in you."

Shen Jize suddenly felt like crying, big brother must have found out he lied about making friends at school. Seeing Shen Jize on the verge of tears, Shen Yue went up first, accurately pressing the inner canthus that Shen Jize had mentioned this morning, and then...Shen Jize's nose started running.

Shen Yue watched as Shen Jize suddenly turned around to find a tissue, and wiped his nose silently, not realizing he'd done anything wrong at all, but eagerly leaned in to ask Shen Jize, "Fourth brother, didn't you say if you press it the nose won't run?"

Shen Jize miserably cleaned his tears and snot before answering Shen Yue, "You have to press it before the tears well up, you just pressed it and forced the tears into the tear ducts, irritating the nasal cavity causing it to run. "

Shen Yue suddenly understood, "So as long as you block the tear ducts before the tears flow out, it won't run?"

Shen Jize nodded, "There will still be a little bit, but you can sniff it back up your nose and swallow it before it flows out, so it won't come out."

Shen Yue was shocked, "So is that eating snot?"

Shen Jize thought about it carefully before correcting her, "In addition to snot, there should also be tears."

Listening nearby, Shen Yichen really couldn't stand it anymore. Grabbing one in each hand, he went to the sink.

Staring at one washing his face, the other washing his hands.

After the three of them finished eating dinner together, Shen Yichen suddenly asked Shen Yue, "Was yesterday's contest held in your class group chat?"

While playing with an onion and brewing tears, Shen Yue nodded.

Shen Yichen snatched away the onion and put it aside, "Tonight also in your class group chat. From now on, any little boy who wants to confess to you has only one requirement - defeat your fourth brother in any field of knowledge."

Listening nearby, Shen Jize suddenly felt the task on his shoulders was very important. He kept waving his hands at Shen Yichen, "No no, if I lose I'll ruin my sister's prospects. You should do it big brother..."

"That's why you can't lose, fourth brother. You can do it."

Remembering big brother's words in the car telling her to cheer on fourth brother, Shen Yue also shouted, "Fourth brother, do your best!"

Although Shen Jize was actually very afraid in his heart, for some reason...he also felt a little happy.

He felt like he was relied on.

"Then I...I'll try my best."

"Not try your best, you must win." Shen Yichen didn't know where he got a phone stand from, and propped up a phone in front of Shen Jize.

Looking at his reflection on the darkened phone screen, Shen Jize's expression seemed a little different than usual.

"I will win."

This was the first time Shen Jize had said such an affirmative sentence.
