Chapter 125: Being Relied On

Yue Xin nodded as she played with the onions.
Yue Lingchen snatched the onion away and placed it aside. “We’re still competing in the class group tonight. In the future, all the boys who pursue you will only have one quest: defeat your fourth brother in any field of knowledge.
Yue Lingyu listened from the side and suddenly felt that his mission was very important. He kept waving his hand at Yue Lingchen, “No, no. If I lose, I’ll harm my sister. It’s better for Big Brother to do it…”
Yue Lingchen was firm. “That’s why you can’t lose. Fourth Brother, I believe you can do it.”
Yue Xin thought of how her eldest brother had asked her to cheer for Fourth
Brother in the car. She shouted from the side, “Fourth Brother, you can do it!”
Yue Lingyu was actually very afraid, but for some reason, he was a little happy. It was as if he was being relied on.
“Then I’ll… work hard!”
“It’s not hard work. We have to win.” Yue Lingchen took out a phone stand from somewhere and placed it in front of Yue Lingyu.
Yue Lingyu looked at his face reflected on the phone screen. His face seemed to be a little different from before.
“Alright, I will win.” This was the first time Yue Lingyu said affirmatively.
Seeing that Yue Lingyu was getting serious, Yue Lingchen informed his secretary to prepare the software. Without the support of the software, they might not be able to come up with a question that could stump the two geniuses. Without a doubt, Yue Lingyu and Yan Ye were both mental arithmetic experts. Moreover, their mental arithmetic was different from those mental arithmetic competitors who were intentionally trained. Their mental arithmetic was carried out to save time on formula calculations, so their mental arithmetic was more pragmatic and applicable.
Ordinary mental arithmetic competitions usually involved the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of numbers. This could be used to increase the difficulty by shortening the time. However, for Yan Ye and Yue Lingyu, the questions they encountered would encounter more complicated formulas. Calculus guidance and mental arithmetic arrays were common. Ordinary people could not make up for this mental arithmetic ability by summarizing mathematical skills. It was more about their talent in mathematics.
Just as Yue Lingyu had once said, his calculations were different from those of ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, the calculations were all complicated arithmetic symbols. They were layered and unfathomable, but in his eyes, no matter what formula it was, it was a matrix.
It was probably because of this that Yue Lingyu had never been interested in mathematics. He only treated mathematics as an auxiliary tool to expedite his research.
Yue Lingyu had only told Yue Lingchen about these things. He had even defeated Yue Lingchen in the mental calculation test. This was the reason why Yue Lingchen had confidence in him. As long as his fourth brother did not want to lose, he would definitely not lose.
After a while, the secretary sent the software that he had prepared to Yue Lingchen. Yue Lingchen called Yue Xin to send an update in the class group chat regarding the competition time. It was seven in the evening. Yue Lingchen originally wanted to set the time to eight in the evening, but he didn’t want to call. As soon as he opened the class group chat, he was stunned by the series of messages in the class group chat.
At a glance, the message kept rolling. The content of every sentence was similar, including the words “When is the competition?”
Yue Lingchen glanced at Yue Xin, who was using onions to irritate her eyes again, and asked, “Can I use your phone to send a message in your class group chat?”
Yue Xin didn’t even look up. “Brother, send a voice message.”
Yue Lingchen inexplicably understood Yue Xin’s train of thought. First, he found a lucky classmate to be the question setter for a while. Then, he began to send voice messages in the class group chat.
[I’m Yue Xin’s brother. We’re ready to start the competition at any time.]
Yue Lingchen’s voice was very pleasant to the ears. A few female students in the class silently recorded this voice message.
After Yue Lingchen sent the message, the rolling message suddenly stopped, leaving only Yue Lingchen’s voice message at the end. Just as Yue Lingchen was about to return the phone to Yue Xin, he heard another voice message in the group.
Yan Ye: [I’m ready too.]
After saying this, Yan Ye opened the video. When Yue Lingchen saw his face, he also opened the video. Then, he placed his phone in front of Yue Lingyu.
Yue Lingyu suddenly saw his face and that of Yan Ye on the screen and was shocked. His nose turned sour and his eyes turned red. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Yue Xin was originally playing with onions. When she saw this, she hurriedly reached out to help Yue Lingyu stop his tears, but she forgot that she had been touching onions just now, so…
Yue Lingyu sobbed, “Sister, wu wu… Your hand IS Irritating my eyes. It hurts, wu wu…”
Hearing this, Yue Xin quickly retracted her hand and ran away to take a bag of tissues and placed it in Yue Lingyu’s hand. When Yue Lingyu wiped his tears, she apologized softly, “Fourth Brother, I’m sorry…”
Yue Lingyu cried as he replied, “No… Boohoo… It’s okay, Boohoo… Don’t touch your eyes with your hands, Boohoo…”
