Chapter 123: What to do, I don't know how to coax her

Yan Baba: "..."

Lei Xingxing was slow to react: "Zhaoyu, what do you mean by 'can cry now'?"

Qin Zhaoyu handed the paper in his hand to Lei Xingxing. Still gasping for air, he spoke in fragmented sentences: "Sister Luo... Sister Luo really got first place in the grade. I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so I tore the grade sheet off... here, see for yourselves. I... I can't do it anymore; the Dean of Students is already hunting me down. I’m skipping class for the rest of the day, I’m leaving!"

Having said that, he didn't even wait to catch his breath before turning and sprinting away, terrified of being caught by the Dean.

Ye Wuqi had no mind to care whether Qin Zhaoyu had left. Seeing the crumpled sheet of paper Qin Zhaoyu had handed to Lei Xingxing, he snatched it away and opened it. It was indeed the top-100 science students' grade sheet that had been posted on the bulletin board earlier that day. In some places, it had even torn because of the excess glue used to put it up.

Seeing that the first-place student was truly Ye Luo, and that she had achieved a perfect score in every subject—750 out of 750—Ye Wuqi instantly broke down like a child, sobbing so hard he could barely breathe. He looked absolutely heartbroken.

Ye Luo: "..."

So the ancestor wasn't lying; he really could cry...

"Hic... hic..." The ancestor was even sobbing with hiccups.

Ye Luo: "..."

What should she do? She didn't know how to comfort him...

Seeing that Ye Luo really was first on the grade sheet, Yan Baba was stunned. When he saw Ye Wuqi crying his heart out like a little kid, he started crying too: "Waaah... Brother Qi... waaah... Sister Luo, you're really too much. How could you hurt his heart like this? Waaah..."

Ye Luo: "..."

Lei Xingxing joined in as well, sobbing uncontrollably, wiping tears with his left arm and then his right: "Sister Luo, waaah... Brother Qi really hates studying, and you actually got first place... hurting Brother Qi like this... waaah... I don't like you anymore... anyone who hurts Brother Qi is a bad person..."

Ye Luo: "..."

After waiting a while, seeing the three of them still crying non-stop like toddlers, Ye Luo hesitated before asking Ye Wuqi: "What do you want me to do so you'll stop crying?"

"Hic... hic..." Ye Wuqi was still hiccuping, looking like he was about to die of grief. When he heard Ye Luo's question, he immediately wailed: "Don't make me study hard, waaah..."

Ye Luo answered without a second thought: "No!"

Ye Wuqi instantly cried so hard he nearly fainted.

Ye Luo: "..."

Then, she silently reached into her schoolbag and took out a bank card. She handed it to Ye Wuqi, her expression and tone completely devoid of emotion: "There are two million in this card. Stop crying."

Ye Wuqi stopped his tears instantly and asked, "What’s the PIN?"

Ye Luo: "...six eights."

"So easy to remember? Thanks, haha." Ye Wuqi took the card immediately and broke into a grin, acting as if the person who had been crying his lungs out and acting utterly heartbroken a moment ago wasn't him at all.

Ye Luo found it quite magical.

A second later, Ye Luo silently returned to her seat.

Before long, Ye Wuqi, Yan Baba, and Lei Xingxing, who had already happily reached a consensus on eating braised pork for lunch, turned their attention back to her. They all stared at her in disbelief: "Sister Luo, we all have brains, so why is yours so different from ours? Seven hundred and fifty! Do you have to be this outstanding?"

Ye Luo didn't speak; she just looked at them.

Because the three of them had been sobbing so violently just moments ago, even though they had stopped crying, their eyes were still red and puffy.
