Chapter 126: Yet Another Cry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yue Xin, who originally wanted to touch her eyes, suddenly stopped. For some reason, Yue Xin no longer pursued crying prettily. Instead, she picked up a tissue and wiped Fourth Brother’s tears. “Fourth Brother, don’t cry.”
Yue Lingyu sobbed, “Wuwu… Okay, wuwu..
Yue Lingchen suddenly said, “Old Fourth needs some time to cry. Let him cry for a while.”
Yue Xin nodded and started to silently sit at the side to hand a tissue to Fourth Brother.
Yan Ye, who had turned on the video to prepare for the competition in a dashing manner was speechless.
What was going on? He hadn’t even competed yet. Why was another one crying?
“Son, did you make someone cry again during the competition?” A gentle female voice suddenly sounded from Yan Ye’s side. Yan Ye’s expression suddenly became a little awkward.
He looked at Yue Xin’s brother, who was crying as well as Yue Xin, and felt a
little complicated and helpless. “No, the competition hasn’t started yet…”
Yue Lingchen suddenly appeared in front of the camera. Seeing that Yan Ye did not show any negative expression because of this sudden situation, his impression of Yan Ye improved a little. At the same time, he was a little emotional. His sister was starting to attract normal people!
“Yan Ye, if you don’t mind, let’s start the competition now so that we won’t waste everyone’s time.”
In the video call between Yue Lingyu and Yan Ye, one was waiting quietly while the other was crying uncontrollably. This made the students in the class group chat extremely excited. The essence of humans was that they loved to gossip and pass on messages. No one could reject gossip, not even genius students.
Now, not only were they gossiping about who would win between Yan Ye and Yue Xin’s brother, but they were also discussing why the Yue family was crying so beautifully such that there was not even snot!
When Yan Ye heard Yue Lingchen’s words, his nervous heart calmed down and he instantly entered the state of competition. He nodded expressionlessly and adjusted the camera to reveal the empty table in front of him. It proved that he didn’t use any tools.
Yue Lingchen smiled and adjusted his phone. However, he accidentally included Yue Xin in the shot, who was handing a tissue to Yue Lingyu.
Yan Ye was stunned when he saw Yue Xin.
Seeing this, Yue Lingchen said to Yue Xin, “Yue Xin, sit further away. Don’t disturb them.”
Yue Xin nodded and stuffed the tissue into Yue Lingyu’s hands before retreating from the video.
Yan Ye heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was a little disappointed. Meanwhile, Yue Lingyu was still crying and wiping his tears.
Yue Lingchen began to announce the rules of the competition. “In this mental calculation competition, two wins out of three rounds. The topic of the first round is a four-digit addition method. I prepared an app. After the person who set the question had sent all the questions, the speed of 0.5 seconds will appear on the screen. You have to remember these numbers and give the results of the calculation. All the numbers will only appear once.”
“Are you ready?”
When Yan Ye heard the rules, he did not answer first. Instead, he asked, “Is Yue Xin’s brother alright?” He had been crying.
Yue Lingchen smiled at Yan Ye. “Thank you for your concern. He can do it like this.”
After confirming that Yan Ye was ready, everyone in the class group was muted. Only the group leader and administrator could send messages. After Yue Lingcnen announced tne start, tne app sent a visual to tne cnat group. ‘l’ne visual was 9,867. 0.5 seconds later, it became 8,896. Then, every number was
0.5 seconds apart. The process of setting the questions lasted for 10 seconds, and there was a total of 20 four digits.
Yue Xin was also watching the battle from the side, but she simply remembered every number and did not calculate. Memorizing things was automatic, but it was impossible to use her brain.
At such a fast speed, it was difficult for ordinary people to even remember the numbers, let alone calculate them. Therefore, it was unrealistic for one to remember all the numbers in one go. They could only calculate the answer of the first two numbers added in the interval of 0.5 seconds. Then, they would add the next number in the next 0.5 seconds to ensure accuracy.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the moment the last number appeared, Yan
Ye and Yue Lingyu gave the answer at the same time.
“158654.”
The resolute voice was Yan Ye’s, and the other whimpering voice was Yue Lingyu’s. However, even if Yue Lingyu was still crying, everyone could hear his answer clearly. The two of them gave their answers almost at the same time. Yue Lingchen could only replay the recording just now. Through slow-play, he confirmed a few times that Yan Ye was 0.4 seconds faster than Yue Lingyu. Yan Ye had won.
After winning the first round, Yan Ye heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was also vigilant. To be able to keep up with his speed, it meant that Yue Xin’s brother was very powerful.
When Yue Lingyu heard that he had lost, his tears flowed even more. He sobbed and said to Yue Xin, “I-I’m sorry, sob…”
Just as Yue Xin was about to speak, Yue Lingchen’s hand had already touched Yue Lingyu’s head. “Fourth Brother, pull yourself together. It’s time to start the next question..”
