After receiving the call, Gu Duo politely left the table to communicate with Xu Weiming on the side.
But the words of the two children clearly reached everyone’s ears. The adults were all stunned—although they couldn’t understand it, such young children couldn’t possibly invent a language out of thin air, especially since the child who called Gu Duo didn’t know the situation here.
The most likely possibility was that they were truly speaking a foreign language.

“What language is this?” After spacing out, Tang Ziyao’s dad turned and asked his own son.

Tang Ziyao: “…”
How the hell would he know!

But having always been the top student in the family, Tang Ziyao couldn’t admit his incompetence. He explained: “I’ve never studied that foreign language. European languages all sound similar. Unless you’ve specifically studied it, there’s no way to tell them apart, okay!”

Seeing Tang Ziyao couldn’t answer, on the opposite side of the dining table, Ms. Tang glanced at her brother, turned, and asked Shen Qing: “What language is Duo Zai speaking?”

Shen Qing answered smoothly: “German.”

“…”
The entire table fell into silence.

Everyone looked at the poor student Shen Qing, and then turned their subtle gazes back to Tang Ziyao—didn’t he just say you can’t tell them apart unless you’ve studied them? Then how did Shen Qing recognize it?
His kid was studying several foreign languages at the same time, and the kid didn’t say it was German either.

Dad Tang also couldn’t allow his son’s top-student persona to collapse, so he couldn’t help but ask Ao Zai, who was at the table: “Is your brother speaking German right now?”

After all, children don’t lie. Since no one here understood foreign languages, they could only seek verification from Ao Zai.

Just as he was earnestly eating a small fish cake from his plate using his own children’s chopsticks, Ao Zai heard the question, nodded, and answered crisply: “Yes!”

Everyone: “…”
Dad Tang: “…”

No, he then thought, Shen Qing is the one raising these two dolls. Being with them day and night, naturally he knows what language they are speaking.
Anyway, it definitely wasn’t because Shen Qing was better than his son!

But Tang Ziyao’s face didn’t look very good. It was true that if you were frequently exposed to a foreign language, over time, you would be able to distinguish which country’s language it was.
But that requires a long process.
How long has Shen Qing been married and in contact with these two children?
Moreover, a poor student like him would just get sleepy hearing a foreign language; would he really put his heart into distinguishing it? …

At this time, Ms. Tang had already praised: “Ao Zai is so smart, Duo Zai is so amazing!”

Just now, Shen Qing had very grandly introduced the two cubs, and now the whole family knew their names and nicknames.
Even though at first Ms. Tang felt the cub named Gu Duo was too indifferent, scaring even the adults.
But seeing her brother’s deflated expression over an academic matter, she still couldn’t help but share in the pride and reveal a smile.

“…”
The only one who couldn’t swallow this breath was Dad Tang, who couldn’t let his own son be outdone by relatives in terms of studying.

Intending to make Shen Qing’s family lose face, he asked Ao Zai again: “Never mind your brother, do you know German? Your brother is a child prodigy, but as a young man yourself, you can’t always rely on your brother. You need to be self-reliant, independent, understand?”

“Ao?”
Ao Zai tilted his head after hearing this.
He listened to this grandpa ramble on and on, not knowing what he was talking about.
What does my brother being a genius have to do with whether I’m self-reliant or not?
…Forget it, let it be.

In this regard, Ao Zai had vaguely learned the essence of his little dad—things he couldn’t understand, or things that made him feel uncomfortable, Ao Zai wouldn’t force himself to think about, nor would he attribute the problem to himself.
In short, no internal friction.

He only answered what he could understand.

“Ao Zai knows German too!”

With a milky little voice, Ao Zai wriggled his little feet under the table, and suddenly babbled out several paragraphs of German.

Everyone: “…”
Once again, they looked at this three-and-a-half-year-old cub in astonishment.

Shen Qing, on the side, held back a laugh.
…Who exactly gave this uncle the courage to think Ao Zai was just a cub who slacked off and acted cute!
Although Ao Zai loved to play and easily got sleepy.
But every time Duo Duo studied foreign languages, he never left his younger brother behind.
Ao Zai would also try very hard to follow along by his side.
Moreover, Ao Zai was already smart to begin with, and he had a talent for languages.

The passage he just recited was the German text Duo Duo memorized a few days ago. Basically, after listening to his brother read it a few times, Ao Zai could read along. By the time Duo Duo translated it sentence by sentence for him, Ao Zai had essentially mastered the text and could extract some short phrases for everyday use.
Even though he couldn’t read or write yet, his spoken language was very impressive.

Gu Huaiyu’s explanation was that the way children learn foreign languages is different from adults. It’s not through rote memorization, but through daily communication to deepen impressions and natural application.
Therefore, most of the tutoring President Gu gave the cubs recently was also communicating with them in foreign languages.
Just simple daily communication was enough to make the cubs improve rapidly.
This included Duo Duo’s French. When he enrolled in the cram school a while ago, he was only at a beginner level, but now the teacher had already recommended he move to the advanced class.

…
Ao Zai not only had “social butterfly syndrome” in front of cameras, but he also had it in front of people.
After reciting the text, he started repeating phrases from daily conversations with his big dad and brother. The more surprised people looked at him, the more he wanted to show off. The little Long Aotian cub really enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.

He didn’t stop to take a sip of water until he was almost tired of talking, even letting out a small burp.

Grandma Zhang beside him also shared in the pride. She had noticed from the start that the person across from them was picking faults, wanting to embarrass their young master.
Rationally, she knew that person was Madam’s uncle, but Auntie Zhang was fiercely protective of her own. She felt that someone acting as a grand-uncle was simply too classless, comparing a college student to young masters?

Placing peeled lobster into the plates of the two young masters, Auntie Zhang took off her food-handling gloves and said lightly: “Our young masters are both geniuses and hardworking. Not to mention Mr. Gu tutors them every day, so naturally, they wouldn’t be bad.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Dad Tang’s face couldn’t help but turn the color of pork liver. Even Tang Ziyao gave his father a complaining look.
See? How could such a young child know so many things.
…Turns out it’s because of a good family environment, someone is teaching them!

The ‘Mr. Gu’ the nanny mentioned was obviously Shen Qing’s partner. So he actually tutors the kids every day? …
Thinking of this, Tang Ziyao felt a bit jealous.
He was good at studying, but he learned it all by himself. His father had an average education level and couldn’t tutor him at all. Otherwise, he would have learned at least one foreign language no matter what!
His dad didn’t know anything, only how to brag.
Usually, when his dad bragged about him, Tang Ziyao also felt proud.
But now, hitting a wall all of a sudden, Tang Ziyao only felt embarrassed, blaming his dad for making him lose face—if his dad hadn’t kept harping on this, would he have been outdone by two little dolls??

Thinking this way, Tang Ziyao harbored even more complaints in his heart, only feeling that his dad was useless.

Dad Tang couldn’t even lift his head, and finally quieted down for a little while.

At this time, Gu Duo returned after finishing his call.
He still kept a tight, indifferent little face.
He came back and just ate silently. It was only when he noticed a large piece of lobster meat added to his plate that he looked up at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing told him that Grandma Zhang peeled it for him, so Duo Duo turned his head and said thank you to Grandma Zhang.
Shen Qing raised his hand and patted his head.

The others at the table observed this heartwarming scene, only feeling… this young eldest master was truly cool.
Very cold, with a kind of feeling of looking down on all living beings from up high, but without actively attacking people.
On the contrary, he was polite and well-mannered, wouldn’t disturb others, and obediently let his dad pat his head.
…
It was a feeling of being both powerful and gentle.
So, very cool!

Shen Qing knew that in fact, Duo Duo truly didn’t take the grand-uncle across from him seriously.
He spoke German with Ming Bao just to practice spoken language, not to deliberately show off.
…It was that kind of cold, aloof feeling—how could an elephant care about what an ant is thinking or doing?
In this regard, he was exactly the same as his big dad.

In the past, Gu Duo was also cold, but there were more times when he was sharp, prickly, and more sensitive. It wasn’t like now, where in the face of minor matters, he only displayed a breezy indifference.
The current Duo Zai was almost becoming a replica of Gu Huaiyu…
Well.
Even if he developed a personality like President Gu’s, it wasn’t bad.
Deep, powerful, and cold—but that’s the Gu family for you!

Subconsciously patting Duo Duo’s head, only then did Shen Qing realize he seemed to have thought of Gu Huaiyu again.
…In just this short while, he had thought of his husband twice.
President Gu went to the hospital for a checkup today as well. It was said he might have to stay in the hospital again. Even if he came home, it would be very late, so he told Shen Qing not to wait for him…
Thinking this way, Shen Qing felt an emptiness in his heart.
It suddenly felt a bit hollow.

But he didn’t show it.
The people at the dining table were still praising his two cubs, and the topics basically revolved around Duo Zai and Ao Zai.

Someone curiously asked Auntie Zhang what the young masters usually ate to be raised so well.
Auntie Zhang listed them like family treasures: steaks flown in from where, fresh sea fish sourced from where, pure organic pollution-free vegetables bought from where.
Including the milk the cubs drank every day, which was produced by pollution-free, pesticide-free cows from a certain country, completely different in quality from ordinary milk on the market.
She explained all this clearly and plainly; everyone present hadn’t even heard of some of the origin locations.
…If you didn’t interact with these daily, understand food sources and quality, you wouldn’t be able to speak so professionally.

The others were stunned listening. Someone couldn’t help but ask: “Ah? Is it this particular for every meal, every day?”
“That’s natural,” Auntie Zhang said. “Mr. and Mrs. Gu value the young masters’ health the most, food safety is especially important.”
Everyone nodded.
Hearing the details of raising children in a wealthy family for the first time, everyone listened with great interest and would uncontrollably ask questions they were curious about.

Chatting and chatting, having drunk some wine, the main topic somehow returned to Shen Qing’s generation again.
After being struck down by the two genius cubs, Tang Ziyao’s dad drank a few mouthfuls of baijiu and regrouped.
This time, he didn’t focus on bragging about his child’s grades. Instead, he continued to output on the honest Shen Yi, using that as a segue to praise his own top-student son.

“Xiao Yi, you still need to study hard. I just don’t understand, what is there that you can’t learn? How could you only score 400-something! If you have anything you don’t know, ask your brother Yao, let him tutor you. I guarantee you’ll get in the college entrance exam… you have to score at least 500, right!”

The drunk Dad Tang stretched out five fingers.
Shen Yi, whose ears were almost worn out from hearing this: “…”
He could only grunt and agree.

His uncle was still saying: “If you don’t study hard now, you can only work part-time in the future, be a worker like your mom? What kind of future is that!”
He was drunk. The people beside him pulled at him a few times, but he didn’t react.

Ms. Tang rolled her eyes grandly. This was exactly why she was determined to find a good job for Shen Yi—just to show her brother!
She was already extremely angry, but the honest Shen Yi only knew how to grunt and agree, as if he didn’t even hear his uncle’s belittlement.

Ms. Tang couldn’t help getting angrier. She also had to temporarily cast aside her identity as the eldest sister, started bickering with her foolish younger brother, and spoke up to defend her son a few times.
However, every time this happened, Dad Tang fought more bravely as the battle progressed.
Tang Ziyao’s college entrance exam score of over 600 would forever be his weapon. When Ms. Tang defended Shen Yi a bit, Dad Tang told her directly: “That’s not right, older sister. No one in your family has been to college so you don’t know, going to college is still very useful, isn’t it Ziyao?”

Having regained his glory after being compared to Shen Yi, Tang Ziyao smiled reservedly, trying to keep a low profile, but still couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.

“Since that’s the case, Xiao Yi, take out the question you don’t understand and ask your cousin,” Ms. Tang suddenly winked at her son.

Shen Yi had a bit of potential to be a mama’s boy. He was usually strictly managed by his mother, rather timid outside, but at home, he shared everything with his mother.
He had been attending a winter break cram school recently, and came across a math problem that only one god-level student in the whole class could solve. Even the teacher only calculated the answer after seeing the god-level student’s thought process.
He thought that top student was so cool, so he shared this incident with Ms. Tang.

Now that Ms. Tang suddenly remembered this small matter, she signaled Shen Yi to bring out that question and ask Tang Ziyao.
Tang Ziyao’s college entrance exam score was good, but he might not necessarily be able to do questions with depth and difficulty. Not to mention he was already a sophomore in college; he had probably almost forgotten all the high school questions.

Originally, Ms. Tang didn’t want to make things difficult for this nephew of hers, but who told his dad to be so annoying.
And Tang Ziyao was also someone who lacked sense. Usually, every time he came to her house, she made good food for him and slipped him money. Now he had no qualms about embarrassing her in front of so many people, not once considering her as his aunt.
Ms. Tang also intended to let him hit a wall and learn a lesson, so she signaled Shen Yi to find that question.

Shen Yi actually did have the question bank saved on his phone. He immediately took it out and started looking.

Across the table, as soon as Dad Tang heard that Shen Yi wanted to ask a question, he immediately told Tang Ziyao to go over and continue showing off.

Shen Yi had never asked Tang Ziyao questions. After all, Dad Tang’s verbal instruction to Shen Yi was just to feel good for a moment and then be done with it; he didn’t really care whether Tang Ziyao actually tutored Shen Yi.
Today, having been provoked by the two little kids in Shen Qing’s family, he felt an urgent need to reclaim his face, so he urged Tang Ziyao: “Go, go quick and take a look for your brother, show him how a top student does it, is this how you act as an older brother!”

Tang Ziyao: “…”
Tang Ziyao didn’t want to move.
Besides, who remembers college entrance exam questions in their sophomore year? He got his grades by cramming questions at the last minute, and gave almost all the knowledge back to the teachers during the summer vacation after graduation.

But his dad kept pushing him, so he had no choice but to get up and walk over to Shen Yi’s side.

Shen Yi had already found the question. Tang Ziyao couldn’t be bothered to stand, so he dragged a stool over and sat behind them. As he looked at the question, he picked at his ear, scratching his head and cheeks as if his whole body had sprouted lice.
… He found that he really didn’t seem to know how to do this question.
Not only had he forgotten the high school knowledge points, but at first glance, the question looked unfamiliar, and he had no line of thought at all.
…Shen Yi picked a very difficult question; this was something Tang Ziyao hadn’t anticipated.

Looking at his honest, unassuming cousin with no presence, Tang Ziyao took a deep breath, “Hiss.”

Shen Yi was truly honest, but he was also genuinely intentionally making things difficult for Tang Ziyao. Seeing his cousin obviously unable to solve it, instead of feeling happy, he felt a bit intimidated, afraid his cousin would lash out at him.
But he had an articulate mother beside him to help: “What? Even Ziyao can’t solve it? Then it seems this question is really difficult. Are high school questions this hard nowadays? Was it easier when Ziyao took the exam?”

Everyone: “…”
Ginger is still spicier when it’s old.
Even Shen Qing, who was purely watching the show from the side, couldn’t help but sigh; Ms. Tang’s logic was solid.

After she said this, if Tang Ziyao couldn’t solve the question, it would mean that Shen Yi might not really be stupid, but rather the questions he encountered were relatively difficult.
And the college entrance exam during Tang Ziyao’s year might have really been simple, meaning he wasn’t really that amazing.
…After all, Tang Ziyao’s score of just over 600 made him a top student within this family. He might be the only college student here, but when compared city-wide or province-wide, he couldn’t rank at all.
Say he got into a good university, but a university has tens of thousands of people in one year. There are plenty of outstanding students; there’s no way to prove he had the real strength his dad claimed he did.

On the other hand, if Tang Ziyao solved the question, Ms. Tang and Shen Yi wouldn’t lose anything either.

In an instant, she had preserved dignity for her own people, slapped the faces of those across from her, and suffered no losses herself…
When it came to verbal sparring, Ms. Tang was truly a ruthless character.
No wonder the original owner and the original owner’s brother were suppressed so harshly.
An average person really couldn’t out-talk her.

Shen Qing subconsciously pondered Ms. Tang’s logical thinking, purely out of interest and curiosity; he had always been quite interested in logic and similar knowledge.

While he was thinking this, Dad Tang across the table, having lost face once again: “…”
“Ziyao, take another good look, don’t rush.”
While salvaging dignity for his son, Dad Tang once again deployed the “divert fire” technique, this time turning it onto Shen Qing, who hadn’t even graduated middle school.

He said: “Speaking of which, Xiao Qing’s better half is too outstanding. Xiao Qing, didn’t you not even graduate from middle school? Do you normally have common topics with President Gu? Can you guys chat together? Sometimes thinking about it, Uncle is really anxious for you.”

Shen Qing, who had been properly watching the show on the side: “…”
The fire was diverted to him again. Shen Qing also let out a “hiss,” raising a finger to tap the center of his brow just like Gu Huaiyu.

Just as he was about to say something, unexpectedly, Gu Duo, who had been eating quietly and never desired to prove his strength, suddenly said: “My little dad and big dad have always had a lot of topics. What does Ao Zai think?”

He turned his head to look at Ao Zai.
Because Ao Zai couldn’t lie and spoke frankly, he was ironically more credible in the eyes of adults.

Being questioned by his brother, Ao Zai’s little cheeks were still puffed out. He really wanted to answer the question, but he had promised his little dad that he must swallow all his food before speaking. He couldn’t help widening his eyes and chewing faster.
Although the piece of fish in his mouth had all the bones picked clean, was very soft and tender, and could be swallowed after a few smacks.
But Ao Zai, with his small mouth, still chewed like a little squirrel for a few seconds before swallowing and saying: “Yes!”

Saying ‘yes’ was subconsciously echoing his brother’s words.
But Ao Zai was also a cub with strong independent thinking abilities!
After thinking for a few seconds, Ao Zai said: “Big dad, listens to everything little dad says! Uncle Li said, only little dad can, order… right, can order big dad around!”

But it was very obvious he didn’t understand his brother’s question. Gu Duo talked about having topics, responding to what that grandpa said, but Ao Zai misunderstood.
No one knew how his little brain interpreted this question.
But this didn’t stop the surrounding adults from collectively freezing.

Even Ms. Tang, who had just slapped her brother’s face, looked at Shen Qing…
What is little Ao Zai saying? You even order President Gu around??
Ms. Tang simply couldn’t recognize her own son!
But this also indirectly proved that the person truly doted on and indulged her Shen Qing… Could this be the reason Shen Qing changed so much recently?
…

Shen Qing, however, felt quite wronged.
When did he order President Gu around?
Little Ao Ao must have misremembered the vocabulary!
…At most, he figured out ways to make President Gu listen to him, like turning into a little drama queen, cracking jokes, and so on.
Alright,
He was also influencing President Gu through sheer ability!

Fortunately, Gu Duo, who wholeheartedly disagreed with anyone saying his little dad’s educational level was low, was still dead set on this matter…
Duo Zai pulled the topic back.
He said to Gu Ao: “I mean little dad and big dad communicate without barriers, the two of them always have topics to chat about.”

“Hmm.” Ao Zai didn’t know what ‘communicate without barriers’ meant, but he understood the later part.
His big, black-grape-like eyes rolled, and Ao Zai nodded earnestly: “Yes yes, little dad and big dad, chat so much! Big dad said, he can’t out-talk little dad… my little dad is the most amazing!”

The crisp, bright little voice rang out, and the adults around the table once again looked at Shen Qing—this junior who, in their impression, didn’t like to speak up, was actually quite talkative?
Talking so much that a big shot had nothing to say?
At first, having not seen much of the world and unable to imagine what kind of power that President Gu had, the relatives—after witnessing the fleet of cars picking them up and dropping them off, the grand hotel, this large table of expensive dishes, and the professional quality of the people following Shen Qing—had gradually realized that Mr. Gu must indeed have great ability and financial resources.

Could Shen Qing really chat with such a person? …

At this time, Auntie Zhang, who had always disliked Tang Ziyao’s dad, couldn’t help speaking up again: “Our madam and master’s relationship is excellent, you, the children’s grand-uncle, don’t need to worry about this matter.”

Auntie Zhang had a personality that couldn’t tolerate sand in her eyes. Originally, she also understood that working in a wealthy family required keeping quiet, and she didn’t talk so much. But recently, she had been “spoiled” bad by the madam, daring to say anything now.
Moreover, she almost viewed Shen Qing as her own son, sometimes even feeling that the madam needed more care than the young masters…
Naturally, she couldn’t tolerate others attacking her madam.
What didn’t even graduate middle school?
Auntie Zhang said: “Our madam is smart too, educational degrees can’t represent everything. When our madam is reading books, who knows what you people are doing!”

The children’s grand-uncle: “…”
He also disliked this Auntie Zhang, feeling that since she was a servant, she shouldn’t be at the table. Even if she was at the table, she always talked too much and retorted against him.
But he didn’t dare speak recklessly either. After all, that was the nanny hired by the Gu family. If they really made a scene, would Shen Qing fire this person for his sake?
Besides, he didn’t even know if she would be fired!
He didn’t want to admit it, but he also had to admit that his attention to his nephew Shen Qing over the years had been a bit low… Um, basically no contact.
And his son had angered Shen Qing just a few days ago…
Let it be said, his son was sometimes asking for a beating!
Smart he is, but he’s also full of petty tricks, secretly nasty.
Right, where is his son?

So much time had passed, and Tang Ziyao was still silently staring at that math problem.
He wanted to say he couldn’t solve it, but admitting it would confirm his aunt’s words… Maybe he really wasn’t that amazing, just happened to do well in the college entrance exam that year.
With no other way, Tang Ziyao could only say: “There’s a problem with how this question is set, basically no one can solve it.”

“No,” Shen Yi said very straightforwardly. “The top student in our class solved it.”
Tang Ziyao: “…Then it’s beyond the syllabus. I don’t remember there being this knowledge point in high school.”
Shen Yi: “So, Cousin, can you do it?”
Tang Ziyao: “Of course I can!”
Shen Yi: “Then what exactly is the knowledge point?”
Tang Ziyao: “…Since it’s beyond the syllabus and the college entrance exam won’t test it, what’s the use of you mastering it? Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand! Besides, have you mastered all the other knowledge points? You need to grasp the basics now, don’t always pick at these weird and difficult questions, no wonder your score is so low!”

Shen Yi: “…”
Once again scolded into silent head-lowering.

“So what exactly is the knowledge point?” This time, the one asking the question was Shen Qing.

Tang Ziyao: …?
Suddenly hearing a clear, bright voice, Tang Ziyao recognized it as Shen Qing’s vocal tone.
Wondering why Shen Qing was joining the fun, he turned his head and saw a handsome, elegant face.

“…”
Well, although cousin Shen Qing was an academic failure, he indeed had a face that their entire family combined couldn’t compare to.
Many times, Tang Ziyao hated Shen Qing and wanted to make trouble for him, precisely because of this face… Clearly possessing top-tier looks, yet he was so useless. A good hand of cards played terribly, couldn’t even navigate the entertainment industry properly.
Just a piece of trash. If not him, who else to bully?

But looking closely at Shen Qing’s fair skin and flawless face, Tang Ziyao still had to admit that this face was really beautiful.
But giving it to trash was a waste of heaven’s gifts!
If he looked like this… why would he even stay up late studying hard!

While staring blankly at Shen Qing’s face up close, Tang Ziyao also heard Shen Qing ask him: “Tell us what the knowledge point is first, so we’ll know if it’s high school knowledge, if it’s beyond the syllabus, and whether Shen Yi actually needs to master it.”

Tang Ziyao: “…”
He only said that because he couldn’t figure out what the knowledge point was!

But Shen Qing sharply grabbed onto the pigtail he wanted to brush over, pressing further: “So you don’t even know what the knowledge point is, how did you judge that it’s not high school knowledge? You’re not even certain yourself, how do you have the nerve to directly lecture Shen Yi? Isn’t this just suppression? Or are you bullying the fact that we don’t have much education and can’t argue the details, so whatever you say goes?”

Directly exposed, Tang Ziyao: “…”
Speechless!

The private room fell quiet again. Across the table, Dad Tang’s eyes went wide—what was this Shen Qing saying?
Why did the things he said feel like they sounded very professional???
Also, could his son really not solve that question, and was just spouting nonsense? …

Shen Qing didn’t really want to get serious, but who told the Tang father and son to keep asking for a beating.
Since the cubs had all come out to defend him, he couldn’t act too zen.
At the very least, he had to let the cubs know their little dad wasn’t that stupid.
And…
Who said just now that he had no common topics with President Gu and couldn’t chat together?!

…He had never noticed this issue before. Now that it was brought up, it was really true. Reminded by this, Shen Qing suddenly realized that his frequency really matched with the big shot’s. There had never been a situation where he couldn’t understand what the other party was saying… as long as they didn’t speak a foreign language other than English.
Basically, whatever Gu Huaiyu said, he instantly knew what he meant.
Conversely, it was the same on Gu Huaiyu’s end.
Although sometimes Shen Qing would deliberately joke around and not talk seriously, when they really got serious, communication was truly barrier-free.

So, are they also a match made in heaven?
Thinking of this, Shen Qing’s mood perked up again, eager to share this new discovery with Gu Huaiyu.

But who was it just now that said his frequency didn’t match President Gu’s and they couldn’t chat together?
Shen Qing looked at the original owner’s uncle across from him, then at Tang Ziyao next to him.

…It wasn’t him bragging.
His college entrance exam score was truly and genuinely one of the top in the entire province.

Shen Qing took Shen Yi’s phone. His eyes, which could pull sugar strings when he smiled, dropped their eyelids sharply, quickly scanning the question.
Beside him, Tang Ziyao, who had completely lost face under Shen Qing’s barrage of questions, saw Shen Qing actually joining the fun to look at the question. He could hardly control his temper and said: “Cousin Shen Qing, just stop joining the fun, making it look like you can actually understand it!”

“Sorry, I happen to actually understand it.”
After scanning the question, Shen Qing’s voice sounded faintly.

Then, under everyone’s scrutinizing gazes, he directly wrote and drew on Shen Yi’s learning app, simply writing down a few lines of formulas, and handed the phone back to Shen Yi: “Take a look, is this how it’s solved?”

“…”
Shen Yi also stared at his cousin, dumbfounded.
Looking at Shen Qing half-believingly, Shen Yi then took back his phone, uncertainly scanning the crooked formulas Shen Qing had casually scribbled.

…Actually, he knew the knowledge point used in this question. Because he felt that the top student who was the only one in the cram school who could solve it was too cool, and the moment he reverse-lectured the teacher was too cool! So he couldn’t help but memorize the entire thought process by rote, thinking that maybe if he encountered this question after returning to school, he could also whip it out to show off.

Then Shen Yi, who took the phone and looked, suddenly had trembling hands. He looked at Shen Qing in shock, even forgetting about his introversion, and shouted directly: “Brother! You are amazing! That was exactly our class top student’s thought process! I remember this formula!”

Beside him, Tang Ziyao: ???
“Impossible.”
He directly snatched Shen Yi’s phone: “Are you two brothers putting on an act with me here? You’re lying, right, how could Shen Qing possibly…”
Tang Ziyao’s voice came to a screeching halt as he saw the formula.

…This indeed, it seemed like this knowledge point, was learned in high school…
It’s just, why didn’t he think of this problem-solving thought process? Shen Qing…
How could he possibly think of it???

At the same time, Shen Qing said breezily to Shen Yi: “As long as it’s right. I’ve listed the formulas here for you, I won’t calculate the result. A person like me, can’t use my brain too much.”

After saying that, he already wore an expression of a paralyzed salted fish.

Everyone: “…?”
Without using your brain, how did you write out the formula?
And a formula that even Ziyao didn’t know!
