Chapter 146: To Be the Best Older Brother in the World!

"The types of people who actually fall in love," Yan Baba said, pointing one finger at Ye Wuqi and another at Ye Luo, "are either academic slackers like Brother Qi, who has zero desire to study properly, or academic gods like Sister Luo, who can ace exams without even trying. That's because both extremes have all the time in the world."

Ye Wuqi raised his hand and slapped Yan Baba's pointing finger away, laughing and scolding, "You talk a big game, and you’ve got all the time in the world too—how come I never see you dating anyone?"

Unrepentant, Yan Baba just looked at Ye Luo with a grievance-laden expression, "Probably because there are too few good picking grounds around."

Ye Luo: "..."

"Pfft, hahaha..." Ye Wuqi and the others burst into laughter.

Too lazy to bother with them, Ye Luo simply took out her pen and paper and began to write.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Ye Luo writing away at a furious speed, her hand moving so fast it was impossible to ignore, Ye Wuqi and the others curiously crowded around.

Without looking at the others, Ye Luo addressed her ancestor, "The problems I'm going to go over with you tonight."

"Holy shit!" Ye Wuqi immediately leaped a meter away from her. "Are you going to attend the evening self-study session tonight?"

Ye Luo nodded. "From now on, I will attend every evening study session." She paused, then added, "You have to go too." Another pause: "You promised to study hard."

And attending regular classes was just the baseline.

She even pulled out that signed statement and flashed it at him again.

Ye Wuqi instantly looked like he was about to burst into tears. He wailed, "Sister Luo, you're going to be the death of me..."

Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu chimed in with wails of their own, "Brother Qi, you can't drag us down to hell with you..."

Acting as if she neither saw nor heard them, Ye Luo lowered her head and continued writing.

Ye Wuqi, Yan Baba, and Qin Zhaoyu abruptly stopped crying. Wiping away their nonexistent tears, they glared fiercely and cursed, "Damn it, why isn't it working anymore!"

Lei Xingxing roared with laughter. "Sister Luo's mind is made up. If I were you, I'd give up all hope and stop struggling in vain."

Qian Xiaoxing just pursed her lips and smiled.

Qin Zhaowen had been smiling as he watched the scene unfold, but noticing how genuinely upset his younger brother was, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a five-yuan bill, and handed it to him. "Here's another five yuan for your arcade tokens."

Qin Zhaoyu felt a slight healing of his soul, but still complained bitterly, "Qin Zhaowen, do you even know what the difference is between you and other people's older brothers?"

"What difference?" Qin Zhaowen immediately assumed the posture of an eager student. His ultimate dream was to be the best older brother in the world!

"Money!" Qin Zhaoyu demanded the next second, growing even more indignant. "When the hell are you ever going to casually toss a million yuan at me like it's nothing! Handing over five bucks every day—do you take me for a toddler?"

"Crap!" Before Qin Zhaowen could even react, Ye Wuqi laughed out of sheer exasperation and clamped a hand around Qin Zhaoyu's neck. "Qin Zhaoyu, you ungrateful wretch! Just think about my penny-pinching brother! If you're crying this hard over five yuan, shouldn't I be throwing myself off a building right now?"

"Is that even the same thing?" Qin Zhaoyu argued back. "He's my biological brother, and he's your sworn brother! Damn it, Brother Qi, let go of me right now! You know I hate people grabbing my neck!"

Ye Wuqi refused to let go.

Qin Zhaowen then reached into his pocket, fished out a single ten-cent coin, and offered it to Ye Wuqi to bribe him into letting go of his brother.

Staring at the ten-cent coin, Ye Wuqi: "..."

"Hahaha, there really is no comparison without a baseline, Brother Qi!" Yan Baba laughed so hard he nearly choked.

In retaliation, Ye Wuqi shoved a booklet of key study points compiled by Ye Luo right into Yan Baba's face.

The smile vanished from Yan Baba's face instantly...

Over the next three days, because Ye Wuqi was being closely monitored by Ye Luo to study hard, he groaned and yawned endlessly from dawn till dusk, practically crying to his ancestors.
