My subject turned into a beautiful girl

For An Yi, getting close to his older brother and "sister-in-law" in full view of everyone was actually a slightly difficult task.

The difficulty here refers to the psychological aspect.

As an ordinary person who has never really stood out, whether in good or bad ways, An Yi rarely receives attention from others and could be considered virtually invisible.

The more unusual something is, the easier it is to notice. Perhaps that's why he has a kind of "sixth sense" mechanism when it comes to other people's gazes.

He could sense even just one or two glances, and if he was stared at for a long time, he would feel uncomfortable because he was not used to it.

When he was about to go up to present a problem during evening self-study last night, he was instantly the focus of the entire class's attention. He even froze for a moment, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Xia Qing and Zhou Yinshuang's location was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention from time to time... He had to take the initiative to walk over there!

In the past, An Yi would have hesitated and weighed the pros and cons. He would have considered how others would perceive his actions, and worried about whether his motives would be misunderstood...

The longer he thought about it, the more concerns he had. These concerns were like annoying rust, forming at every joint in his body, potentially blocking his movement completely.

Over time, An Yi's imagination was honed. He could often extend his imagination for a long time along the possible development of a matter, from the creation of the world by Pangu to the heat death of the macrocosm. He was like a real rusty robot lying in place, and you could only tell that it was still thinking by the flashing indicator lights. It might be planning its next course of action.

But it just wouldn't move.

The rain poured down like a waterfall, and the rust on the machine grew thicker until it rusted completely to death.

But this robot is ultimately hard to rust away from. No matter how long the rust grows or how deep it becomes, as long as one day, for just a moment, whether with the help of others or through its own efforts, it stands up again and takes that first step...

The rust will peel off, and the metal will begin to regenerate.

Last night, An Yi already took that step.

So this time, even without his older brother's help, and even though he was still a little nervous during the process... in the end, he did move on his own, quickened his pace, and walked to Xia Qing's side.

"Big brother!"

An Yi chose to get straight to the point: "I've finished learning!"

As the younger brother, he was expected to be prepared to help his older brother woo his "older sister-in-law." That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

As a single man who has never been in a relationship, An Yi has absolutely no practical experience in picking up girls. Therefore, he is quite self-aware and does not intend to provide his older brother with any theoretical guidance.

Even if he hadn't experienced romantic relationships, he'd seen pigs run. He'd never been in a relationship, but he read novels frequently. Therefore, he was certain of one thing: the more opportunities for contact and the more frequent the interaction, the higher the probability of success!

An Yi couldn't help with the opportunity to interact with Xia Qing, nor did he need to. Xia Qing and Zhou Yingshuang had already had enough opportunities to interact, after all, they were classmates and deskmates.

However, when it came to interaction, Xia Qing was basically the one doing all the talking, while Zhou Yinshuang responded occasionally... or rather, very rarely.

Thus came An Yi's plan—to use her ability to perfectly speed-learn high school math in one night to create more opportunities for her older brother and "sister-in-law" to interact!

Anyway, this matter can't be kept secret, and he can foresee that there will be more and more outrageous behavior in the future, so he might as well choose to expose it now. He is very confident anyway.

There's no faking when it comes to learning, especially in math. Whether you're good or bad, just do one problem and you'll know.

People are always curious. Although Zhou Yinshuang is an ice queen with a stoic expression, she definitely has emotions. This means that when faced with some unusual and unexpected things, she might also feel curious.

The most brilliant part of this plan is that An Yi and Zhou Yinshuang are completely unfamiliar with each other!

So it's easy to imagine that he wouldn't interact with Zhou Yingshuang at all throughout the entire process, and if Zhou Yingshuang became curious, she could only ask her older brother for details. Wouldn't this create the opportunity for interaction that her older brother and "sister-in-law" lacked?

Of course, it's possible that Zhou Yinshuang wasn't curious. If that were the case... then An Yi, as her subordinate, had already done his best.

Most importantly, he reported that he had completed his study plan and consulted his older brother about the purpose of his next study plan, saying that he would complete it no matter what!

"An Yi? Good morning! You've finished studying? Good job..."

Xia Qing turned her head and saw that it was An Yi. After greeting him and subconsciously responding, she seemed to finally realize what An Yi was saying. She stopped and was about to turn her head back, clearly stunned.

"You said... you've finished studying? What do you mean, finished studying?"

"It's the study plan you made for me last night, big brother. I finished studying it last night," An Yi explained.

Xia Qing blinked her bright eyes: "Huh?!"

"Where...is something wrong? Big brother, you seem quite surprised..."

An Yi was caught off guard by her older brother's reaction to the matter.

He originally thought that this news would only pique Zhou Yinshuang's curiosity, and that his elder brother would calmly give instructions such as, "You completed the task so quickly and perfectly. As your elder brother, I am very pleased. It seems that you are indeed worth cultivating." Then An Yi would take his leave, leaving his elder brother and "sister-in-law" with room for possible successful interaction.

But now the first step of this plan has run into problems. It's not clear how "sister-in-law" will react yet... but it's obvious that she has surprised the eldest brother!

"Of course it's wrong everywhere!"

Xia Qing's eyes widened.

"It's like I telegraphed you a plan and told you to gradually and meticulously destroy the island, and then the next day you came to my office and said, 'Reporting, I've used a nuclear bomb to trigger a landslide and sink the entire target island!' That's a good thing, but where did you get that nuclear bomb? I didn't know you had one before!"

"Brother, your analogy is truly... brilliant."

An Yi's eye twitched slightly. He easily understood Xia Qing's analogy, because he had indeed obtained the "nuclear bomb" called "Mathematical Thinking Ability +1" after evening self-study...

But how do you explain this?

"How about we do a few problems together?"

Xia Qing wasn't prepared to ask An Yi for an explanation; she wanted to conduct a direct test.

We'll find out what it's all about once we take it out for a spin!

"Now?"

"Yeah, yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this!"

Xia Qing's eyes lit up as if they were sparkling. "This is so interesting!"

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea...?"

An Yi wished he had the skill of "sound transmission" so he could whisper in his older brother's ear, "Big brother! Beauty is more important than career! My business can wait."

"What's wrong with that? If Boss Crab comes to arrest someone during morning reading, just let me explain!"

Xia Qing clearly misunderstood the direction of An Yi's concerns.

"Elbow, come with me to the classroom!"

An Yi felt a little desperate.

This really wasn't his original intention in doing this!

How can a younger brother compete with his "sister-in-law" for his older brother's time? Won't his "sister-in-law" whisper sweet nothings in his ear and then find an opportunity to stab him to death? She definitely will!

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked in Zhou Yinshuang's direction, and then paused in surprise.

Sunlight streamed in from above the central atrium of the teaching building, its rays sliced ​​into clean lines by the corridor, the edges falling precisely between the girl's eyebrows and eyes. Still expressionless, she was looking directly at him, her left eye gleaming with a clear, amber light, her right eye as black as ink, as if she were born with heterochromia.

Oh no, now it seems "sister-in-law" has really written this down in her little notebook! An Yi thought to herself.
