Chu Yin had a good dream all night.
When she woke up, sunlight filled the bedroom. She was in a very good mood and stretched on the bed. Then she suddenly remembered something and tapped the system. "Do you care about after-sales feedback?"
Xue Ji replied, "Good morning, host. What kind of after-sales service is it?"
Chu Yin rubbed her hands expectantly. "Just the effect of the nightmare gift package last night. How is it? Did you scare him into incontinence?"
Xue Ji replied hesitantly, "I'm sorry, we are not such a bad-fun system!"
Although you've been playing more and more evil fun.
Chu Yin got out of bed with disappointment. After washing, she walked out of the room, still wearing Huiwen's simple and generous school uniform.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chu Qiuqiu wearing a beautiful little skirt, lovingly holding Chu Shi's hand as they went downstairs. "Brother, will you take me to school later? I have a question to ask you."
Chu Shi nodded non-committal. "Yes."
The Chu family's parents were already seated at the dining table. They looked at the scene and showed appreciation. "Qiuqiu has worked so hard, it really relieves Mom and Dad."
Chu Qiuqiu walked down with a triumphant smile. Mom and Dad preferred her excellence. Although her elder brother had made her feel faceless at the banquet before, Chu Qiuqiu guessed he probably didn't like her bringing so many people to him. Perhaps he preferred Chu Yin, who had not been seen for ten years.
Chu Yin didn't even glance at her. She walked to the dining table, where her brother pulled out a chair. "Sit here."
She nodded and sat next to Chu Shi. Chu Qiuqiu quietly curled her lips. Not only did this sister taste the soil, but she was also like a wooden stake, showing no gratitude.
The Chu family's parents rarely gathered for dinner. Father Chu looked at the young, beautiful, energetic children and said with satisfaction, "Xiao Yin has finally returned. You are all members of the Chu family. From now on, help each other and become mutual support."
Chu Yin and Chu Shi both kept plain faces. Only Chu Qiuqiu responded sweetly. "I know, Dad! My sister's education is far behind ours. I may not keep up, but I will do my best to help her."
Chu's parents nodded in relief. Chu Yin didn't respond. She didn't need Chu Qiuqiu's help, nor did she recognize her as a sister. Chu Shi frowned, feeling that Chu Qiuqiu's words sounded particularly harsh. "Why do you say you can't keep up? Xiao Yin often studies late at night."
Madam Chu looked surprised. "Is Xiao Yin working so hard too?"
Father Chu turned his attention.
Chu Yin took a sip of milk calmly. "It's okay." She didn't study to show anyone; she studied for herself.
The elder brother spoke on her behalf, earning a little approval from the parents. Chu Qiuqiu felt unhappy but smiled deliberately. "So my sister's previous grades must be pretty good?"
Chu Yin saw the care in her heart and replied casually, "It's okay."
Chu Qiuqiu rolled her eyes internally. She had seen Chu Yin's transcript in advance. Chu Yin's grades were exactly as expected. She couldn't rank in the town middle school. Her math score was only 69 out of 150. And she acted humble about it.
From the last public class where Chu Yin answered questions, Chu Qiuqiu realized this sister was trying to prove herself through her grades. Chu Qiuqiu smiled secretly, waiting for the right time to reveal her true level.
At school, Chu Yin saw Song Zhaolin and thought of her own mistakes, her eyes showing faint resentment.
Song Zhaolin misread the situation, thinking Chu Yin's attention meant she found him handsome. He shifted positions between the two classes repeatedly.
While working on system tasks, Chu Yin glanced at Song Zhaolin. He immediately posed with his chin resting on one hand, staring at the blackboard at a 45-degree angle with a melancholy expression.
Chu Yin was sure. She probably had hemorrhoids at the same table. So poor.
Song Zhaolin didn't know he had already suffered from a hidden illness in Chu Yin's eyes. She had been observing him across two classes.
After class, Song Zhaolin moved to the international class, stopping at the back row where Lu Zhen and Tan Ke were sitting. "Am I handsome today?" he asked confidently.
Lu Zhen lay on the table, ignoring him.
Tan Ke said, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Song Zhaolin shook his hair. "The girl next to me has been watching me for two classes. I suspect I'm handsome today!"
Lu Zhen slowly sat up, his arms exposing a handsome face full of sleepiness, maroon tear marks looking listless. He muttered one word: "Fuck."
Song Zhaolin obeyed. He wondered why Lu Zhen looked so sleepy today. No wonder he had nightmares and didn't sleep well.
Chu Yin was still struggling with a big question.
"Host, you seem to be struggling. Can you complete the mission this time?"
Chu Yin bit the pen tip, thinking quickly. The difficulty seemed to increase with each task. The last big question had been relatively smooth, but now the math problem was much harder. She decided to consult a teacher.
Song Zhaolin returned and she asked, "Where have you been?"
He babbled, "I went to the international class, but Brother Zhen was sleepy and wanted to rest, so I rolled back."
Chu Yin got the information she wanted and stood, holding her paper. Lu Zhen was in the classroom, safe.
Several students in Class 5 watched her leave and laughed.
"Did the university bully ask the teacher?" one girl asked mockingly.
Fu Mingxuan sneered. "Study committee member, can you check? I'm afraid the 'Xueba' question might be too simple and make Sister Wang angry."
Chu Yin walked into the math office and politely greeted the teacher.
Teacher Wang, a typical female teacher, liked good students but remained indifferent to average ones. The transfer student in front of her was obviously indifferent. She looked down, wearing a mask all day.
Chu Yin presented her paper. "I have a question for you."
Teacher Wang examined it patiently.
Chu Yin pointed to the last big question. Teacher Wang saw that it was the hardest question in the set. Even top students would struggle. She noticed the student had only done this question. Angry at such audacity, she asked, "You didn't do the previous questions? Can you guarantee those are correct?"
Chu Yin was strategic. She prioritized difficult questions first.
A voice interrupted from behind. "Teacher, is Student Chu already at this level? I didn't even understand the second question."
Teacher Wang saw Xing Lan and said, "Don't compare with her!"
Xing Lan snorted. "I thought Student Chu was good at studying."
Chu Yin decided not to ask this teacher further. She walked to another teacher, older, who didn't know her level. After reviewing her steps, he was surprised. Her handwriting was neat, steps clear, thinking ability evident. The question exceeded normal high school knowledge.
He continued explaining until the class bell rang. Although Chu Yin regretted stopping, she understood she couldn't delay others. The teacher smiled, "Come with me to our class. I'll post the pre-class quiz and finish it with you."
Chu Yin's eyes lit up. "Thank you!"
Back in Class 5, Xing Lan exaggeratedly told everyone, "The university bully asked Sister Wang the finale question, and Sister Wang was almost mad!"
Fu Mingxuan frowned. "I didn't count on students like that."
Chu Yin walked to the international class and suffered a heart attack seeing the class card at the back door.
The old teacher greeted her kindly. "It's okay, come in."
A small gust of wind passed.
The teenager lying on his stomach straightened up. Lu Zhen smelled the faint fragrance again.
Chu Yin forced herself to focus on the topic, knowing authority could only come after completing the problem.
"Qiuqiu, isn't that your sister?" someone whispered.
"Why is she asking our class a question?"
Chu Qiuqiu smiled at Chu Yin on the podium.
No one noticed that Lu Zhen in the corner of the classroom sat up straight, black hair slightly messy, cold white face half-closed, black eyes on the figure on the podium.
Chu Yin memorized the steps, thanked the old teacher, and left.
She asked Xue Ji, "Can I unlock the script now?"
Xue Ji replied, "You must complete the task first."
Chu Yin pursed her lips, quickened her pace, and walked out.
Someone opened the classroom door behind her. A cold voice called, "Wait a minute."
Chu Yin froze. Dog things were happening again. The boy caught up within a few steps.
Seventeen-year-old Lu Zhen stood in front of her, looking down. "What perfume do you use?"
Chu Yin froze.
"You're so good" almost slipped from his lips.
