n“Su Yan, Su Yan?”

nIn the dream, Su Yan watched her young self and Shi Qing lead a peaceful life, but she did not expect to be suddenly woken up. Su Yan, whose mind was still in a mess, opened her eyes and saw Shi Yuan approaching her.

n“It’s time for class. Wake up.” The problematic youth, Shi Yuan, was a player who never listened to lessons. Facing his sister-in-law who also refused to listen to lessons, Shi Yuan felt that he had to set an example for her to improve.

nIn the past, before his brother had gotten into trouble, there had been a lot of wild bees and butterflies surrounding his brother. If Sis-in-law wasn’t capable, wouldn’t she be beaten up by those wild bees and butterflies?

nThis wouldn’t do.

nShi Yuan was starting to worry about Su Yan’s future even before he knew her well.

nLooking at the marks on Su Yan’s face, Shi Yuan cleared his throat and said, “Well, Su Yan, it’s almost time for class. Wake up and listen to the lecture later. Try to get a good result next month.”

nWhen Shi Yuan said that, Su Yan suddenly realized that she was already in her third year of high school. May was about to pass and the college entrance examination was next month.

nThe college entrance examination.

nSu Yan chuckled. She had missed the college entrance examination in her previous life and regretted it for the rest of her life. In this life, no one would stop her from taking the college entrance examination. She would definitely score well.

nSu Yan looked at the sloppy Shi Yuan in front of her and smiled. “Thank you. You too, do your best for the exams.”

nShi Yuan paused for a moment when he was met with such expectations. When he looked at Su Yan again, his expression was slightly awkward. “It doesn’t matter whether I study or not. I don’t inherit the family business either. I just want to be a sponger happily.”

nSu Yan did not agree with this. Su Yan stared at Shi Yuan and said seriously, “This has to put an end to your ten years of student life. You have to take this seriously.”

nAt this moment, Shi Yuan did not know if it was because Su Yan’s expression was too enticing, or if it was because Shi Yuan’s brain suddenly short-circuited. He actually felt that what Su Yan said made sense and had the determination to take action.

nIt was only after Shi Yuan had listened to half a lesson in peace that he suddenly realized that he had been bewitched. He, who usually did not like to study, had listened to Su Yan and learned a lesson obediently?

nCompared to Su Yan, who was still lost in thought, Shi Yuan felt that something was wrong.

nSomething was very wrong.

nPulling Su Yan’s sleeve, Shi Yuan had not thought of how to reprimand Su Yan, but he was defeated by Su Yan’s strange expression. After a while, Shi Yuan covered his face and said, “You told me to study hard. You should set an example, right?”

nShi Yuan cursed silently in his heart. For the sake of his brother and Su Yan’s future, he had given it his all. Not only had his role model reversed, even his original intention had changed.

nSu Yan, however, laughed. It was not a mocking laugh, but a smile that made Shi Yuan feel extremely comfortable.

n“But I don’t really need to study.”

nThis reaction was completely out of Shi Yuan’s expectations. Looking at Su Yan, the corners of Shi Yuan’s mouth twitched. After a long while, he asked, “You really don’t need to study?”

nSu Yan looked at him like she was looking at an ignorant child and said, “I really don’t need to. I’ve gotten around 700 points in the mock examination.”

nShi Yuan paused. When he looked at Su Yan, it was as if he was looking at a monster. “700?”

nSu Yan nodded.

nShi Yuan silently turned his head away. He felt that he was really too foolish to have been worried that Su Yan would be mocked by his brother’s former admirers because of her results. Too foolish, too foolish! Why would he be genuinely worried for a non-human like Su Yan?

nShi Yuan lowered his head, unwilling to look at Su Yan.

nOn the other hand, Su Yan looked at Shi Yuan and said gently, “Study hard, little kid. A good university will give you a good starting point.”

nSu Yan looked at the exercise book in Shi Yuan’s hand with interest, probably because she felt goodwill from Shi Yuan.

nIf one did not look at it, they would not know. But if they looked at it, they would be shocked. Shi Yuan’s exercise book was almost completely blank. Even if there were words in some places, upon closer inspection, the words really did not have anything to do with the questions.

nSu Yan could not believe that her deskmate was a bad student.

nSu Yan’s facial expression explained her thoughts. Shi Yuan felt his face burning. He closed the exercise book and said, “Ahem, I just haven’t been studying recently.”

nMeeting Su Yan’s disapproving expression, Shi Yuan coughed and turned his head away. His bronze skin was flushed red.

nSu Yan took Shi Yuan’s exercise book and said meaningfully, “You can’t think that just because your family is rich, you don’t need to work hard. You cannot rely on others, it’s better to rely on yourself.”

nThis was an old saying.

nShi Yuan was also very clear about it. He even felt like his ears had grown calluses from listening to it. However, if these words were said by Su Yan, and seeing Su Yan’s expression, Shi Yuan was actually a little tempted. He even began to think about how far he could go by himself.
