New Century Anime Warrior

Chapter 15 The True Genius

Si Hua looked at the receding shadows of the trees outside the car window, still thinking about Teacher An's evaluation of Lin Lin.

When Teacher An heard Si Hua's question, she also sighed.

"This would be abnormal for anyone else, but for her..."

"I still remember that after the first time I recorded a song for her, I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights."

"She would take notes every time she came up."

"At most three tries."

"No supplementary enrollment is needed."

"I do not understand."

"Could she really be a genius, one in a million?"

"Later I figured it out."

"There are many geniuses in this world, probably more than I've ever seen a dog."

"There are always some people whose talents are simply unreasonable, like Linlin..."

After speaking, Teacher An gave Si Hua a special look.

"For example, how Linlin sees you..."

A true genius?

And how do you see me?

Si Hua suddenly had a question: Was he a little indifferent to the world?

Why is it that in my mind, Lin Lin is always just an ordinary pretty girl...?

Well, being beautiful is extraordinary in itself.

But why do we feel this way?

"Because Lin Lin acknowledges that you and she are on the same path."

Suddenly, Pan Lei's gentle voice reached my ears.

"Aunt Lei, what did you say?" Si Hua was a little confused.

"What I mean is, you haven't noticed Linlin's special talent because she acknowledges that you and she are on the same wavelength."

No, I discovered her special talent.

After all, the fact that someone wearing high heels could cross half the court and catch up with a normal guy in just a few seconds is terrifying in itself.

"...Does that mean she hid herself from me?"

Pan Lei didn't answer, but instead glanced at Lin Lin, who was wearing an eye mask and sleeping soundly.

She began to recount her past: "Lin Lin was better than other children in every way since she was a child, not only in terms of intelligence, but also in terms of physical fitness... so she didn't have many friends growing up."

"It's not entirely true. She has a close friend she grew up with... After she went to high school, her friend's parents were assigned to work abroad by the government, so she went abroad with her family."

"From then on, Linlin didn't have any close friends in high school."

"Until you copied the lyrics of anime songs and submitted motivational messages to the school sports meet broadcasting studio."

"If I remember correctly, you copied hundreds of copies at once, breaking a song into three or four short poems, and had different classmates submit them, which completely blocked the submission box for the broadcasting program. This kind of understated and subtle madness is exactly what Linlin likes the most."

Hearing this, Si Hua roughly understood that this so-called "fellow traveler" did not mean that his suspected genius had impressed Lin Lin.

Instead, she simply felt that she could get along with her. As long as the vibes were right, she was willing to play with you even if you were an idiot.

Interpersonal relationships can sometimes be this simple.

It seems to be as Pan Lei said.

They didn't have much of an impression of their past life, but in the short week after they transmigrated, during those two days of brief interaction, there was absolutely no barrier or distance between them.

Just like a close friend you've known for many years.

Thank you, Lin, the genius who doesn't judge friends by IQ.

Si Hua suddenly recalled a famous quote from a wealthy second-generation heir surnamed Wang: "I never make friends based on money, because none of them are as rich as me."

Pan Lei knew Si Hua understood her meaning, and smiled: "Now you understand why both I and A Yin have such good feelings towards you, right?"

This straightforward description made Si Hua a little embarrassed; in fact, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

The smooth sailing he experienced in the multimedia classroom that day only made him sigh a few more times that there are still more good people in the world.

Perhaps this is why I can't become a big shot? I'm not cunning enough, nor am I ruthless enough.

"So it's a case of loving the house because of its owner?"

"Not entirely. Kind people are always attracted to other kind people," Pan Lei said, making a rather meaningful remark.

"I understand, Aunt Lei, you're subtly praising your own kindness!"

"Why are you so stubborn, child?!"

Pan Lei couldn't hold back any longer and poked Si Hua's forehead hard with her finger.

"In short, just get along well with Linlin... We trust her judgment, and we choose to trust you as well."

But I don't believe in myself.

Si Hua's palms were sweating a little. As an older man, he knew he wasn't entirely innocent, after all, Lin Lin was a beautiful girl who was practically in his favor...

Seemingly seeing through Si Hua's thoughts, Pan Lei couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You can't date before college, and you can't cross the line."

At this moment, not only were his palms sweating, but Si Hua felt even his heart was sweating...

Oh wait, I don't even know if I'll get into university yet. Oh well.

-----------------

Watching Spinter leave, Si Hua recalled Pan Lei's explanation of Lin's logic for making friends.

Are we on the same wavelength?

Thinking about this, Si Hua walked into the tobacco and liquor store and saw his mother knitting a sweater while watching a Korean drama.

I couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you think your son is a genius?"

As she spoke, she combed her hair and deliberately struck a melancholy pose, gazing up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle.

Although Tang Huijuan didn't quite understand why her son had gone mad, she gave the answer without hesitation.

"Genius, absolutely genius."

Si Hua was satisfied.

"After all, there are only a handful of students in a provincial key high school who still fall behind in their studies each year. Aren't they geniuses?"

Si Hua couldn't hold back any longer.

"I'm going upstairs!"

This is a topic I can't handle, so I'll leave now.

Entering the study, Si Hua turned on the old machine and stared at it as it struggled to run, mentally calculating the progress.

The theme song is recorded, now it's time to start the first stage of the strategy.

He clicked on the documents nested in eight layers of folders... After thinking for a moment, Si Hua simply dragged the documents off the desktop and casually deleted the eight layers of folders.

Who can a document hidden like this be protected from?

Damn, you're mentally challenged.

Cursing himself for his actions last week, Si Hua looked at the document.

The document's name is very simple.

Cultural Guide (Anime/Manga Version)

Si Hua sometimes finds herself quite speechless; her adolescent delusions never discriminate based on the occasion, the time, or even her age...

Then look at the first paragraph of the document.

"This world is imperfect."

"It lacks countless well-known masterpieces."

"A nation of anime fans."

"My arrival is like the coming of the Messiah!"

"Come on, at the dawn of this new century, let's raise high the glory of anime and manga and fight for it!"
