Chapter 279

After Shen Yue finished brushing his teeth with Si Chengyou, she had an in-depth discussion (shifting blame) with him and finally came to the conclusion: leave everything to Si Chengyou.

Shen Yue was defeated in the first battle. Si Chengyou took over in crisis and ended up shouldering everything alone, including facing Shen Hui whom he was a little afraid of.

All the bad feelings were Si Chengyou's, while Shen Yue got to enjoy the happiness of lying down and winning.

However, Shen Yue didn't do nothing either. During Si Chengyou's class, she maintained classroom order all by herself, reducing his mental loss and allowing him to focus better on more important matters!

With Shen Yue's cooperation, after half a month, a series of plans for how to get close to Tang Yi, including meeting locations, had been formulated. Planner: Si Chengyou.

One week after the plan was formulated, Shen Shuangyi was the first to give in and persuaded by: Si Chengyou.

Three days later, Shen Jize also gave in and said he wanted to go together. Si Chengyou agreed.

One day later, Shen Wu agreed.

After this, Si Chengyou's persuasion plan encountered huge obstacles again. He racked his brains and exhausted all means. He used fancy words and persuasive language!

Finally, after a month, he got the big brother’s approval.

With a...frog paired with the golden toad, and demonstrating his outstanding protection capabilities to the big brother.

The only one left was Shen Hui.

Shen Hui was the most difficult to deal with. Si Chengyou left her for last and engaged in a continuous tug-of-war with her.

It took a full five months.

During these five months, the project review led by Niu Kaihuai and Shen Hui was successfully completed and won the highest award. The world now knew Shen Hui's name.

During this time, Shen Hui received invitations from various top universities, invitations from famous physicists, and even brazen head-hunting invitations from other countries, too many to count.

Just as Shen Yue expected, sooner or later someone like Shen Hui would stand at the pinnacle of the world.

But Shen Hui wasn't very interested. Instead, she kept asking Shen Yue about her plans for future development.

Si Chengyou seized Shen Hui's weakness. Another month later, he finally used Shen Yue as bait to get Shen Hui to agree.

The condition was that she had to go along too.

In the end, the people who went to Country S were the Shen family, including Su Yunan. Si Chengyou also went, but he was tasked with protecting this group of masters, so he didn't appear publicly.

Originally, important talents like Shen Jize and Shen Hui really needed some protection when going abroad, so it was reasonable for him to tag along.

It's just that what Tang Yi encountered seemed to be more serious than what he saw in the report.

Tang Yi was a talent. If they could trick him back to the country...it would be a gain. And so, Shen Yue brought Tang Yi back to the country. Accompanying Tang Yi were his mother, his younger brother and sister.

Tang Yi was arranged to work at the Shen Family.

After passing the probation period, he quickly gained Shen Yichen's appreciation with several reform proposals, and within just half a year he climbed to the position of branch manager.

Shen Yue and Shen Hui continued their daily battles against Si Chengyou and the big brother, and battles helping the fourth brother against the big brother, gradually approaching the college entrance examination.

And the closer it got to the college entrance exam, the more attention Shen Yue received.

Simply put, Shen Yue was the only one in the entire special class who needed to take the college entrance exam.

The other students were all outstanding in certain fields to some extent. Just the awards they had won over the years were enough for countless universities to give them recommended student spots.

Especially Ye Yin. In the first half of 11th grade he received an invitation from the world's top academy, and now he went directly there for further studies.

Ye Yin's goal was to return after further studies, defeat Shen Yue's brother! And then have a romantic relationship with Shen Yue with the goal of marriage!

In short, he must defeat the demon Shen Jize.

Because Ye Yin's goal was very pure, even after going to the top academy, his grades and abilities were still top-notch in the entire school.

From the many schools that extended invites to her, Qing Xiaoyu chose the one most suitable for her. This school happened to be in the same city as Ye Yin’s school.

Bai Pangpang chose a school with strong agricultural programs. He said he wanted to grow the best potatoes for making french fries...ah no, the potatoes that make the best french fries.

The schools chosen by other students were also basically related to their own interests and abilities. Only Shen Yue was still confused about her direction as the college entrance exam approached.

After all, she felt like she had already accomplished what she should do.

Si Chengyou had also talked to Shen Yue and asked her what she wanted to do in the future.

Shen Yue's answer was, "I want to be a happy person."

At that time, Si Chengyou's silence was deafening. After a long time, he asked again, "What I mean is, what career do you want to pursue?"

Shen Yue answered very quickly, "I want to pursue a career that will make me happy."

Si Chengyou: ...

So the discussion that day yielded no results. There was no trace of Shen Yue's existence in the 23 layers of memories Si Chengyou had recovered so far, so he didn't know how to make Shen Yue happy either.

Soon after, it was time for the college entrance exam.

Shen Yue memorized many question types and was led by Shen Hui to use her brain every day. She wrote as if guided by gods, encountering almost no obstacles.

If she did encounter any, she just skipped them.

Taking the exam this way, Shen Yue felt pretty good about it.

Shen Hui insisted on going to the same school as Shen Yue. Shen Yue didn't dare do too poorly on the exam and hold Shen Hui back either.

...

On the day the college entrance exam results came out, Shen Yue still didn't have much sense of it.

She did quite well on the exam. Although it wasn't top rank level, there were still many good schools for her to choose from.

Si Chengyou and Shen Yichen huddled together in the study, poring over an extremely thick book of school profiles to make their selection. The principle for selection was schools and majors that could make Shen Yue happy.

This description was very abstract, but it was still possible to get started.

For now, after some discussion, the two had selected some schools and majors that matched Shen Yue’s personality.

Occasionally when they disagreed, they would debate back and forth.

Shen Yue was unaware of all this. She was holed up in Shen Hui's lab watching paramecia.

The paramecia were what Shen Hui found for her to watch. Shen Hui said watching single-celled organisms like paramecia would gradually calm you down when feeling irritable.

As higher animals with some worries unique to higher animals, it was understandable, otherwise how would they be different from paramecia?

Maybe Shen Yue watched the paramecia for too long. Si Chengyou finally couldn't stand it anymore. He coerced and bribed Shen Hui to open the lab and came over, "We've selected some schools and majors you may be interested in based on the relevant factors. Do you want to take a look?"

Shen Yue saw the paramecia wiggle a little again. Feeling indifferent, she answered, "I won't know what to choose even if I go take a look, so you guys just decide."

Si Chengyou walked over to Shen Yue and asked her, "What are you looking at?"

"Watching paramecia."

"Watching paramecia to do what?"

"Dazing off."

"Let me watch too?"

Hearing this, Shen Yue made room for him. Si Chengyou simply squeezed in together with her to observe the paramecia through the same microscope.

The lab fell silent for a long time.

After a long while, Si Chengyou suddenly said, "You are very good at interacting with others, especially at dominating others."

Shen Yue nudged Si Chengyou aside and saw through the microscope that the paramecium had wiggled again. Feeling indifferent, she said, "No, I just say whatever comes to mind when I talk."

Si Chengyou ignored Shen Yue's nonsense and continued sharing his opinion, "Actually, being able to dominate others is a good thing. There are always people who walk down the wrong path without realizing it, who won't turn back even when persuaded. But at this time, if an absolute dominator appears and forces him to take this path, isn't that a good thing? Do you know what people like you used to be called in the past?"

Shen Yue blinked. Her gaze shifted from the paramecium.

"What were they called?"

Si Chengyou's eyes softened. The bright lights in the lab shone on him, even allowing Shen Yue to see the fluff on his face clearly.

Si Chengyou just looked at Shen Yue this way, then resonantly uttered two words, "Hegemon."

"When you first approached me, I felt you had ulterior motives. Later I felt it didn't matter even if you had ulterior motives, since I could only stake everything on this anyway. Until now, I am absolutely certain that the choices you made were right."

"Shen Yue, don't be afraid of yourself, everything is the best arrangement."

Shen Yue nodded and asked, "So what are you trying to say after making such a big detour?"

Si Chengyou saw that Shen Yue had figured it out, so he stopped pretending and said directly, "I think you are very suitable to be a diplomat, your big brother thinks you are suitable to be the Shen Family's mascot, who do you think is right between us two?"
