Chapter 124: I’ll Give You a Chance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Due to Yan Ye’s sudden confession, Yue Xin was completely unaware that Yan Ye was talking to her.
Knowing that Li Xiaoyu was poking her, she turned around and saw Yan Ye. Only then did she react. Ah, so it was this person who said that he liked her.
Just as Yue Xin’s brain analyzed this matter, she was interrupted by Yue Lingchen, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Yue Lingchen did not speak to Yue Xin first. Instead, he extended his hand toward Yan Ye, “Hello, I’m Yue Lingchen, Yue Xin’s brother.”
Yan Ye was stunned for a moment before he shook Yue Lingchen’s hand. “Hello.”
Yue Lingchen looked at Yue Xin, who was still confused, and said to Yan Ye, “Personally, I don’t agree with Yue Xin dating at her age, but I heard from
Teacher Liu that you’re very outstanding. I think I should give you a chance.
Yesterday, you seemed to have had a mental calculation competition with Yue
Xin, and Yue Xin lost. Tonight, I want to invite you to the same competition as Yue Xin’s brother. If you win, I’ll agree to you pursuing Yue Xin. How about that?”
Yan Ye’s nervous heart calmed down after hearing this. If it was a competition, he had never lost.
“Okay.”
Yue Xin turned her head. It seemed that something incredible had happened in front of her. Her brother wanted to compete with Yan Ye? If she understood correctly, if her brother lost the competition with Yan Ye, she would be handed over to Yan Ye. Realizing this, Yue Xin inexplicably felt a pain in her heart. She opened her mouth but didn’t say anything. She could only let Yue Lingchen help her pack her bag and pull her away.
The familiar car was parked at the school gate. Yue Xin got in and was not in a good mood.
Yue Lingchen saw that she kept her head lowered. She was still the one who was frightened, so he comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. You’ll encounter such a thing sooner or later. This time, I’ll help you resolve it, but you have to learn to reject it yourself in the future.”
After thinking for a moment, Yue Lingchen instructed, “Don’t call him brother casually in school.”
Yue Xin raised her head slightly. “Brother, if you lose, will you throw me to Yan
Yue Lingchen frowned. He sensed that Yue Xin had used the word ‘lose’ and knew that Yue Xin had probably misunderstood something. However, he didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he replied, “I won’t lose, and I won’t throw you to anyone. No matter what, you’re my sister.”
Only then did Yue Xin look up. Then, she saw that the lacquer gourd she had given Yue Lingchen on the show was revealed at the collar of Yue Lingchen’s unbuttoned shirt. The small gourd had a hole in it, and it was tied around his neck.
Yue Xin’s heartache suddenly healed. She subconsciously clenched her fists and said to Yue Lingchen, “Then, good luck, Big Brother.”
Yue Lingchen corrected her, “It’s useless even if you cheer for me. You can cheer for your fourth brother when you get home later.”
Yue Xin was stunned. “Fourth Brother?”
Yue Lingchen: “Yes, your fourth brother is much better than me in competitions and questions.”
Hence, when the two of them returned home, Yue Lingyu received a mission from his beloved brother before he could tell him how much he missed him. He asked him to video-chat with a junior high school student later.
Yue Lingyu crossed his hands uneasily, “Can we not talk during the competition?”
Yue Lingchen pressed his hand on his head. “What do you think? If you don’t say anything, the other party may have already said the answer while you’re still writing. Xiao Yu, I believe you.”
Yue Lingyu suddenly wanted to cry. His brother must have long discovered that he had lied about having found a friend in school.
Seeing that Yue Lingyu’s tears were about to come out, Yue Xin suddenly strode forward and stretched out her finger, accurately pressing it on the eye socket that Yue Lingyu had just told him this morning. Then… Yue Lingyu’s nose started to run.
Yue Xin looked at Yue Lingyu, who suddenly turned around to look for tissue paper. Then, she silently wiped his snot. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong at all. Instead, she leaned forward and asked Yue Lingyu, “Fourth Brother, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t have snot if you pressed down here?”
Yue Lingyu wiped his tears and snot away pitifully before replying, “You have to hold it down before the tears come out. When you pressed it like that just now, you would be pressing your tears into the nasal tear tube instead. My nose was stimulated and my snot ran.”
Yue Xin was enlightened. “So as long as you block the nose and tear tube before you cry, your nose won’t run?”
Yue Lingyu nodded. “There’s always a little, but you can sniff before you cry and swallow it. It won’t flow out again.”
Yue Xin was shocked. “Isn’t that eating snot?”
Yue Lingyu thought about it seriously and corrected, “Other than snot, there are also tears.”
Yue Lingchen couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed one in each hand and walked to the sink. He stared at the two of them, making one wash her hands and the other wash his face.
The three of them went to eat again.. When they were eating, Yue Lingchen suddenly asked, “Were you guys in the class group competition yesterday?”
