Chapter 60

Niu Kaihuai, who had "falsely reported" Shen Yue's situation, was scolded by Shen Yichen.

A fine, grown man in his prime with biceps that could pop up high—a brave guy—was uneasy in front of Shen Yichen, scratching his head timidly left and right. "Brother Shen, I'm just no good at biology. When those kids said it, I really thought it might be possible."

Shen Yichen sighed, "I told you before not to neglect certain subjects, or you'd definitely get tricked someday... And this time it was by a bunch of kids, no less."

"Bro, you know full well the people you found are no ordinary folks. Why must you make this class and let your sister join? Ordinary people can't understand geniuses, let alone get along with them. If your sister gets terribly discouraged, don't come crying to me."

In fact, Niu Kaihuai was older than Shen Yichen, but due to certain special circumstances, he had to call Shen Yichen "Bro".

When Shen Yichen heard this, he seemed to recall something. He paused briefly before asserting seriously, "Shen Yue won't get discouraged. She's very capable; she's just too lazy. Just make sure she has things to do."

Niu Kaihuai pictured the huge pillow in the schoolbag and felt a little skeptical.

But then he remembered Shen Yue's exquisite pillow maneuver and felt somewhat convinced.

"What's the deal with your sister? You said before your parents were looking after her—so this is how they looked after her? Damn impressive." As Shen Yichen's anger subsided, Niu Kaihuai's mouth became unstoppable, chattering away.

He and Shen Yichen had been classmates for years. Among their cohort, he was the only one who could hang out with Shen Yichen.

After all, Shen Yichen was a prodigy who often skipped grades. The other classmates couldn't keep up with Shen Yichen's pace, or perhaps they were...afraid?

Anyway, in the end only Niu Kaihuai followed Shen Yichen's skips, even getting invited to the same university.

All this time, he was with Shen Yichen and happened to help Shen Yichen out a few times. Their relationship began improving.

Going to university brought them even closer over the years, becoming sworn brothers.

Back in the day, his math still crushed Shen Yichen's. Now Shen Yichen was a business tycoon; he must exceed Niu Kaihuai in every subject! Hahahaha!

Niu Kaihuai chuckled to himself, but soon Shen Yichen's cold voice reached his ears.

"Niu Kaihuai. Do you want to stop feeling delighted?"

Niu Kaihuai guffawed. "No way! My parents gave me this name just so I could feel delighted. You can't control that. Come on, tell me. Shen Yue's going to be my student, so I need to know what to do." "Shen Yue...I neglected her before. By the time I noticed, she had already become like this."

Niu Kaihuai scratched his head, asking uncertainly, "What do you mean? Carrying her pillow to class?"

He assumed Shen Yichen would deny it, but instead Shen Yichen nodded solemnly. "Yes. Her life's goal seems to be sleeping."

Niu Kaihuai cried out, "What?! Your sister's life goal is to sleep? Your own sister?!"

Shen Yichen closed his eyes and nodded heavily.

Niu Kaihuai's eyes bulged like copper bells. He was truly shocked.

Earlier when Shen Yue had said in class she wanted to sleep, he thought she was just trying to intimidate him. After all, some previous brats had done the same, so he didn't make much of it, just felt a little angry.

He couldn't imagine a kid Shen Yue's age actually wanting to sleep. And to make sleep her goal?! Ridiculous!

He only slept for one purpose—hoping to gain insights like James Watson and become the greatest mathematician today!

That's right.

Niu Kaihuai, male, 26, tall at 188 cm, bronze complexion, shaved head, sharp piercing eyes, aggressive—at first glance everyone thought he was the new P.E. teacher, but actually he was just a wimpy guy who loved math.

His hobbies were fractal geometry and dynamical systems.

His goal was to become a great mathematician.

"I think Shen Yue is gifted in math," Shen Yichen went on, describing some of her performance on the show and the computational methods she had explained after coming home. "If she can't pass the Shen family's tests in the future, I won't be able to help her either. With her current attitude, I worry she'll only be able to pick up trash later."

Niu Kaihuai nodded professionally. "Given her situation, that's very possible. No, from my brief interaction, she has an 80% chance of not even picking up trash—just sleeping."

"You know my family circumstances. For Shen Yue, I want to do my best."

Having been with Shen Yichen for years, Niu Kaihuai knew the various emotions hidden beneath that expressionless face.

Hearing this, he simply said, "Your parents really are scum."

Shen Yichen didn't respond, only continued, "The kids in your class are geniuses in various fields. Maybe they can get Shen Yue interested. I'll be counting on you at school."

Niu Kaihuai felt quite honored to be entrusted by Shen Yichen. He immediately thumped his chest and promised, "I'll take care of it! Don't worry!"

Only after leaving Shen Yichen's office did Niu Kaihuai belatedly realize what Shen Yichen had said.

So the purpose of gathering all those geniuses was to pique Shen Yue's interest?

Wow, so it wasn't about Shen Yue nurturing geniuses, but geniuses nurturing Shen Yue! ...

Shen Yue was still tossed into school.

She didn't even have her supremely soft gigantic pillow.

She could only sneak an eye mask, her final stubbornness.

"Shen Yue, don't sleep in class," Shen Yichen exhorted before she skipped merrily off.

Shen Yue absentmindedly nodded, clearly not listening.

Shen Yichen didn't nag further, just took out a yogurt drink and put it in Shen Yue's hand. "Go on, I'll come get you tonight."

Shen Yue held the yogurt, surprised when Shen Yichen said he would come get her.

Sensing her abnormality, Shen Yichen asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yue hesitated before asking, "What about your company?"

It took Shen Yichen a couple seconds to realize Shen Yue was worried about his work.

"Picking you up won't take too long. Don't worry. I'll take you to eat whatever you want tonight."

Shen Yue nodded.

And secretly swore to herself.

Big brother is so nice! I must stay awake for at least one class today!

I'll dedicate my alertness for one class to big brother's yogurt!

Carrying her schoolbag, Shen Yue headed toward the special class.

Along the way, she received many frightened and envious looks.

Shen Yue ignored them.

Even two people who came to chat were disregarded.

She went straight to her desk, put on her eye mask, lay down, and slept.

She had only said she would dedicate her alertness for one class to big brother's yogurt, not specifying which class.

She would take a nap first before deciding.

As the saying goes, when in doubt, take a nap.
