The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

"Yueqi, you shouldn't be so rude to your younger sister," Auntie scolded softly, then smiled apologetically at Shen Zhi.

"I didn't say anything harsh, did I?"

Shen Yueqi crossed her arms over her chest, clearly wanting to roll her eyes, but she held back.

"It's fine if you want to hold these ceremonies, but can I eat first? I'm so hungry."

Shen Yueqi showed no fear of her elders and spoke frankly about her feelings.

Shen Zhi didn't feel offended at all; on the contrary, she found her cousin's frankness endearing.

She was actually hungry, and after sitting in the car for so long, her stomach had been growling for a while.

"Sister Yueqi, let's go eat!"

Shen Zhi took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and Shen Yueqi, as proud as a little peacock, tossed her slightly curly long hair: "That's more like it."

During the meal, Shen Zhi wanted to reach for a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in the middle of the table, but she couldn't reach it.

The Shen family's dining table was quite large; Shen Zhi could barely hear the people sitting across from her speaking.

Sitting to Shen Zhi's left was Shen Yueqi, and to her right was Shi Yue. But Shi Yue was talking to her grandmother and didn't notice Shen Zhi's little actions.

Shen Yueqi glanced at it and silently placed the piece of pork rib that Shen Zhi had put on her plate.

Shen Zhi smiled sweetly, about to thank her, when Shen Yueqi reached out and interrupted her:

"Stop, let's eat. Stop thanking me like we're strangers."

Shen Zhi was taken aback.

I've actually grown to like this older cousin even more; Yueqi is so cool!

"Hehehe, I also want to thank Sister Yueqi."

Shen Zhi's voice is sweet, and when she's being coquettish, the ending tone has a hook that tickles the heart.

Shen Yueqi rubbed her ears uncomfortably; her skin was redder than usual.

She coughed a few times and, adopting the airs of her older cousin, lectured:

"Why are you so short? Are you a picky eater? I was already a head taller than you when I was your age."

"Huh?"

Shen Zhi looked at her rice bowl, which was already more than half full, and blinked innocently. "Did I eat a little less?"

You know, she eats much more than Xin Xin, and she's always been praised for it.

"Of course it's less." Shen Yueqi tilted her head back, her tone domineering, leaving Shen Zhi with only a stunning profile. "From now on, when you're in the Shen family, you'll have to eat at least one and a half bowls of rice. If you can't finish it, don't tell anyone outside that you know me. I'll be ashamed."

"...Ouch."

Shen Zhi buried her head in her rice, thinking, "Sister Yueqi is so domineering."

But Zhizhi knew in her heart that Yueqi was good to her; she was just being stubborn.

"Can Zhizhi leave half of what she can't finish with her older sister?"

"Who wants to eat your leftovers?" Shen Yueqi turned her head in shock, then changed her mind after meeting Shen Zhi's clear eyes, "Just take as much as you can eat... We'll talk about it if you really can't finish it."

Besides, that means it's possible!

Shen Zhi smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and quickly placed a shrimp on Shen Yueqi's plate.

"Sister, eat!"

"...I can do it myself!" Shen Yueqi's ears turned redder, but she stubbornly maintained her cold expression.

Shen Zhi had the nanny help her move all the gifts to her bedroom. She didn't even want to take a nap and spent a whole hour unpacking them.

Some of the wrapping paper was quite exquisite, and Shen Zhi carefully cut it open, unwilling to tear it directly.

"Zhizhi, may I come in?"

Shen Linchuan knocked on the bedroom door and entered the room only after receiving the girl's permission.

"Big brother~"

"Does our Zhizhi miss her brother?"

"Yes, I am thinking about him!" Shen Zhi held up her small phone watch to show off. "When Zhizhi sends her brother a goodnight message every day, she is thinking about him."

Hearing the little girl say that, Shen Linchuan's bitterness dissipated.

He was busy preparing for the physics competition and didn't have time to accompany her to the show. Otherwise, how could he have let Zhizhi call someone else "brother"?

Fortunately, Lu Yufeng didn't find a chance to hurt Zhizhi, otherwise... the man's fist on his knee tightened.

"Brother, you have your last exam this afternoon. Will you come pick me up after you finish?"

"Okay! Wait a minute, brother~"

Shen Zhi remembered that Shen Linchuan was going to take an exam. She took out a brand new pen from her small backpack, on which was written "May you pass every exam".

"I saw this on Cloud Village and bought it. My older brother is taking it with him, so he'll definitely get all the questions he knows on the exam this afternoon, and he can guess all the answers correctly!"

Shen Linchuan knew the prices at the Yun Village convenience store; even a single piece of bubble gum cost five yuan.

This pen should cost at least 20 yuan, so I asked out of curiosity:

"Where did you get the money to buy me a pen?"

Shen Zhi chuckled, "I saved some cow dung to sell to Grandpa Zhao, and he gave me five yuan. When I was selling pears, my uncle said he'd give me fifty cents for each one I sold. Zhizhi bought so many pears, of course I could afford them!"

Shen Linchuan was slightly stunned.

He never imagined that Zhizhi was working so hard selling pears just to buy him a pen.

In an instant, the pen in my hand felt much heavier:

"Zhizhi... Big brother will definitely get the best results and live up to Zhizhi's hard work."

"Mmm-hmm!"

That afternoon.

Shen Linchuan arrived at the examination venue and bumped into a candidate on the way in just as he was about to enter.

All the pens in his pencil case were scattered on the ground. He was about to pick them up when he heard a snapping sound.

Shen Linchuan frowned and looked up, only to see the owner of that foot—Lu Yuche.

The man's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "I'm sorry."

There was absolutely no apology in his tone.

He even left right after saying that.

Zhou Haotian, who was on good terms with Shen Linchuan, ran over to help him pick up the stationery on the ground, and said indignantly:

"What's with Lu Yuche acting so arrogantly? He just stepped on your pen and left like that? Linchuan, your pen is all broken, why don't you use mine?"

"No need, I have others."

Shen Linchuan threw away all the pens he was most comfortable using, keeping only a 2B pencil and an eraser.

At first, he was a little reluctant to use the pen that Zhizhi had given him; he wanted to keep it as a treasure. But now it seems to be fate.

That exam,

Shen Linchuan seemed to be possessed by the god of exams. His pen never stopped, and his thoughts on answering the questions were as smooth as Dove chocolate. He finished writing all the questions in less than half the time.

The page-turning speed was astonishingly fast, completely overwhelming Lu Yuche, who was in the same examination room.

Only Shen Zhi knew that the pen, seemingly possessed by the god of exams, was protecting Shen Linchuan and ensuring his success in the exams.

This national college physics competition also attracted attention from all sectors of society, with many reporters gathering at the school gate.

Because it was a competition, Shen Linchuan couldn't leave early, so he had to check the results several times.

The teacher proctoring the exam in the same room happened to be a professor from the Physics Department of Peking University. When he saw Shen Linchuan's relaxed appearance, he curiously went down from the stage and looked through Shen Linchuan's exam paper.

I originally thought he wouldn't give up, but the more I looked at Professor Qian, the brighter his eyes became.

For the last big question, Shen Linchuan's solution was very novel; such a solution could never have been taught by a teacher.

Professor Qian asked with a smile, "Young Shen, I see you've finished writing. Would you like to hand in your paper?"

"May I?"

Shen Zhi promised to wait for him at the entrance of the examination hall, as he wanted to leave early to take his sister home.

"Okay, but you can't leave yet. Would you like to help me solve one more problem?"

Shen Linchuan thought that since he was bored anyway, he might as well hand in the paper and accept the assignment.

The old man's question was indeed very challenging. After answering that question, Shen Linchuan became obsessed with calculating and spent a full 40 minutes before giving the answer.

He shook his slightly sore hands and handed over the results.
