Li Jianyu, the cameramen, and the staff were all taken aback.
Mentor Xiang Yi had scored 699 in the college entrance exam?!!
Xiang Yu, who was one second too late to speak out before Shi Sui: "..."
'Ah, ah, ah, I'm so angry!' He remembered his sister's score! This kind of face-slapping thing should have been done by him, the big brother!
He's obviously trying to steal my food! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Bai Ruoruo's face had turned ghostly white as she dryly smiled. "Senior Shi, you're joking right..."
"What do you think?" Shi Sui lazily pushed his gold-framed glasses. His eyes were thin as he stared at her with a feigned smile.
A field of question marks once again surfaced in the live chat:
— [699 points? Wasn't 750 the perfect score??]
— [Is Shi Yingdi trying to protect the Vase Fairy?]
— [I'm speechless. Shi Sui is actually willing to lie for a woman like this]
…
Bai Ruoruo had been thoroughly fl.u.s.tered by Shi Sui's gaze and spoke with a little stutter. "Se...Senior, how do you know this?"
Shi Sui responded indifferently. "Our families are mutual benefactors, isn't it normal to know this? Besides, college examination scores cannot be faked. Unless, you think I'm lying?"
With a few words, he had rendered Bai Ruoruo speechless.
It was normal that he would know.
But quite unexpected that he would remember.
'It turns out Zaizai is not only smart and hardworking but very attentive, too!'
Xiang Yu anxiously scratched at his ears and face, almost blurting out, 'Brother Shi, please shut up. You have to give me a chance to behave!'
He had been so rude to his sister before; he had to compensate somehow.
Blessed by his soul, he dug out a cherished video from his phone, bragging as he flaunted it to Bai Ruoruo. "Look, my sister's interview video!"
It was an interview with the Nancheng TV station with an impressive caption: 15-year old girl prodigy scores 699 on entrance exams.
The interview had been compressed several times to fit mobile viewing, but the resolution was enough to recognize that Xiang Yi was indeed the one being interviewed.
At the time, the girl still had some baby fat on her cheeks and wore her hair in ponytails, looking ridiculously adorable.
The reporter: "Today is the score ranking day. We interviewed a 15-year old passer-by, but we didn't expect she scored an incredible 699 points on her exam! Your family must be very happy you scored so high, right?"
The girl's voice sounded nasal and slightly aggrieved. "My second brother says I am too dumb. When he was 15, he was almost finished writing his doctoral dissertation for medical school."
"..." The reporter went speechless for a few seconds but still maintained a good, professional air and continued asking, "Wow, it seems like your brother is very outstanding. You're a science student, so what kind of learning experiences do you want to share with everyone?"
"Read everything twice, and go through the questions, 'tis all."
The reporter: ???
"What if you don't understand after reading it twice?"
"Don't understand?" The little girl c.o.c.ked her head. Gently, she replied: "Then… read it one more time?"

She took a big mouthful of the milk tea she was holding and said with a depressing tone as she chewed on the tapioca pearls: "My brother only needs to read it once. When I read through my books twice, they all laugh at me."
The reporter: Continuousfakesmile.jpg
"Alright, thank you for sharing with us. Let us interview the next passer-by student!"
...
Bai Ruoruo's eyes widened. She only wanted to alter the rhythm to get Xiang Yi flamed for a while, but she didn't expect Xiang Yi to have such an outstanding score in the college entrance exam!
An earthquake was shaking up the entire chat room once again.
— [I'm dead. 15-year-old sister Yi is way! Too! Sweet!]
— [The reporter's expression is my expression right now. The world of a top student is really out of reach /smile]
— [Wait, did Smog just say my sister? The Vase Fairy is his little sister? How is this possible?!!]
