My subject turned into a beautiful girl
Chapter 21 An Yi: Sister-in-law? So-so, not as good as math.
"Did you feel that today's Chinese class was unusually long...?"
Not long after class started, An Yi couldn't help but whisper to Wang Xinze next to her.
"Want to read a novel? I'll let you play with my phone!" A good buddy never hesitates to drag his buddies into trouble, and his spirits immediately lifted.
In the past, An Yi would definitely have agreed. He didn't have a cell phone, his mother would never allow it, and he didn't have his own allowance, so he couldn't afford it. But now...
"I'm not playing." An Yi refused decisively.
"You're in big trouble, you've fallen into the sea of academics."
Wang Xinze sighed, "Learning is like sailing on a boundless sea; it's never too late for a prodigal son to turn back!"
"You don't understand. I've donned the golden headband; I'm no longer a mortal. I can no longer indulge in any worldly desires..."
While chatting casually with Wang Xinze, An Yi kept a close eye on the Chinese teacher's movements on the podium. He noticed that the teacher had turned away from them to write on the blackboard, so he quickly took out his practice books and decided to review them again to avoid any mishaps during the afternoon's exam.
This puts my good friend in a very awkward position.
In the past, he would have secretly played on his phone with great enjoyment... Although the teacher on the podium could tell at a glance that something was wrong, they were all in their senior year of high school, and as long as it didn't affect others, they generally couldn't be bothered to care.
But now, Wang Xinze's companion is no longer the good brother who reads novels and plays games with him, but a hardworking, academically challenged guy!
The sound of An Yi turning the pages of the "53" textbook and the rustling sound of her pen falling were so clear to Wang Xinze that they were almost deafening!
How can anyone play like this? It's even more uncomfortable than having the crab boss watching over you!
Wang Xinze sighed softly and chose to bury himself in sleep, out of sight, out of mind...
An Yi was completely unaware of Wang Xinze's every move. As he opened the book, looking at the characters that he used to find annoying just to look at, but now felt particularly familiar, he easily immersed himself in it.
Gradually, he became completely oblivious to everything around him, as if there was nothing in the world except the book in front of him and the pen in his hand. As he solved one problem after another, he even began to get excited and became more and more engrossed in the task.
This is the state of "flow".
"Flow" is a psychological concept proposed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a state of high concentration, complete immersion in the present moment, accompanied by intense pleasure and high energy.
Since starting high school, An Yi has almost never entered a state of flow while studying. The only times he can easily enter a flow state are when playing games like League of Legends or reading novels…
In a state of "flow," due to the extraordinary immersion, one forgets everything else, and time often seems to pass extremely quickly. The saying "happy times are always short" is based on this principle.
An Yi's unexpected entry into a state of "flow" was of very high quality. The rhythmic and engaging poetry appreciation and reading comprehension lessons by the Chinese teacher, the bustling classroom after the bell rang... none of these things could pull him out of it.
Until two sheets of paper filled with writing were placed in front of him.
"..."
An Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and found that Wang Xinze had disappeared at some point. He probably went out for a stroll during the break, and the person in his seat had changed.
"Big brother? This is... a question?"
"Yes, don't rush the exam syllabus. I've prepared some challenging questions for you. One sheet contains the questions and the other contains the answers. Take a look and get used to the problem-solving approaches and techniques."
Xia Qing spoke with a smile, clearly in a very good mood for some reason... Before An Yi could ask, her next words answered his question.
"Well done! Tell me, did you plan this all along and do it on purpose?"
Xia Qing lowered her voice excitedly, glancing cautiously in the direction of her seat before speaking.
"I've made a major breakthrough! Yinshuang actually asked me about it herself! It's been two years, and this is the first time she's reached out to me on her own initiative!"
"Congratulations, brother! I was just thinking of giving back a little something, I didn't expect it to actually work..."
An Yi also lowered his voice and quickly put himself in the role of "the strategist who advises his elder brother"... At this time, whether or not you have the ability is not important, the key is to have the attitude!
"What did you ask, sister-in-law?" he asked casually.
"When Yinshuang first asked me if I was making an exam syllabus for you, I thought, could she have misunderstood? Was she jealous and couldn't help herself?"
Xia Qing's face was full of happiness. "I said, 'Yes, yes, should I make one for her too?' and then Yin Shuang said, 'No need!'"
"...And then?" An Yi waited for a while, but Xia Qing didn't say anything, so he asked cautiously.
"And then, that's it?"
"..." An Yi sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Isn't this a complete lack of progress?
Brother, I know you can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, but there's no need to be this swayed. You're almost at the point where you can't walk past her!
He inwardly grumbled, feeling incredibly annoyed at his older brother's effortless satisfaction. In his opinion, while his "sister-in-law" was certainly beautiful, there was no need to lose his composure to this extent over a few words from her...
It's not that An Yi is talking without understanding the situation; he genuinely has the mindset to say that.
Whether it's the eldest brother or the "eldest sister-in-law," they are both quite good-looking, but ultimately they can't be called perfect.
The word "perfect" isn't really suitable for describing people. Because everyone has flaws. Truly flawless beings can probably only be the legendary gods.
An Yilai spoke with great confidence because he had actually seen it.
As the female protagonist of this world, even among gods, she's likely among the highest tier. Her math skills are undoubtedly the epitome of "perfection," and last night in that "dream," An Yi was even studying with her in the evening, sharing headphones...
Not to mention the previous "pinky promise" and the fact that he even touched her hand!
That was the first time in many years that An Yi had held a girl's hand. As for how it felt... all I can say is that the old saying "gentle and refined like jade" is indeed a simple description, without any exaggeration.
For An Yi, it was difficult not to feel this sense of comparison:
Sister-in-law? Of course she's very beautiful. But overall, she's just average, not as good as Math.
After gaining experience and understanding of the world, one can naturally approach things with a more peaceful mindset.
"Big brother, just tell me what your plans are for the future, and I will do my best to create more opportunities for you!" An Yi patted his chest to show his determination to help.
"Okay, actually there's one right now... Isn't that a coincidence? It's still related to your grade-level math exam this afternoon, so the goal hasn't changed!"
Xia Qing finally revealed her purpose with a smile.
"You must do everything in your power to get a spot, and the higher your score, the better. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions; I'll do my best to help you!"
Previously, Xia Qing had urged An Yi to study hard for the high school entrance exam to secure a spot in the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. The subsequent preparation of the exam syllabus was partly to see just how talented An Yi was, and partly, as the older brother, to give his younger brother a helping hand.
But now, on top of that, she has an even more crucial objective—
Use An Yi to create more opportunities for her to pick up girls!
On this point, the two were in complete agreement.
The story goes: An Yi displayed his divine prowess in several examinations, and Master Qiu's grading of the papers astonished everyone. To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next chapter!
