Chapter 61

Shen Yue's eye mask only persisted until the ringing of the class bell. Niu Kaihuai walked over and knocked on the door, awakening someone's sleeping mind.

Niu Kaihuai's first class was not his own class. But sitting in the office, he felt uncomfortable no matter what, so he wrote a lot of math problems before he could see the words "sleep" in the numbers and sentences.

It must be Shen Yue!! Shen Yue must be sleeping!!

So Niu Kaihuai hurried to the classroom. Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the door, he found Shen Yue wearing a pure black eye mask and sleeping very sweetly on the pillow.

Niu Kaihuai walked arrogantly towards Shen Yue as if he had known it all along. Just as he got close, the class bell rang. In order not to delay time, Niu Kaihuai directly confiscated Shen Yue's pillow and eye mask.

"Shen Yue, I'll take these two things away. Come to my office after school to get them."

Shen Yue: ?

She opened her clouded eyes and saw only the mighty back of Niu Kaihuai like a mountain.

And she heard a voice of doubt, "You really like sleeping, huh."

Shen Yue turned her head. There was someone sitting in the empty seat next to her, though she didn't know when he had arrived.

Although Shen Yue really didn't want to remember, she still recognized this person.

It was the one who said she had a rare disease.

"Hi, I'm Ye Yin. I'm best at all subjects! What about you, which subject do you like best?"

Shen Yue didn't want to pay attention to this person, so she looked out the window.

Big sister said that if a social interaction is useless or unwanted, just tell the other person to shut up directly.

But she couldn't make the other person shut up now, so she could only shut up herself.

But the other party did not stop, and continued to speak for himself, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have concluded a few days ago that you had a bad disease without collecting enough data to support the inference. I just guessed and scared you. My mom scolded me for it after I went home that day. From now on I will never do that again. I hope you can forgive me."

Shen Yue turned her head and looked at Ye Yin. Suddenly she felt a little guilty.

He was right. Without this person's help, she wouldn't have been able to get home and lie down comfortably that day. To be fair, Ye Yin was her lifesaver. How could she be so cold to her benefactor?

"Thank you," Shen Yue suddenly thanked Ye Yin. She sincerely appreciated everyone who was willing to make an effort for her sleep. Ye Yin, who had been prepared to sincerely try again if Shen Yue didn't accept his apology: ?

He was apologizing! Why did he get a thank you?

Known fact: He had first made a wrong judgment that caused Shen Yue to delay two days of happy school time while she went home to get checked out. Just now, in order to express his remorse, he had sincerely self-reflected to Shen Yue.

For such a situation, there are usually only a few basic possibilities:

First, forgiveness, unforgiveness, and silence.

Second, verbal response, physical response, and no response.

As well as emotions like indifference, discomfort, surprise, or anger.

Finally, there are the very low probability special cases including confusion, indifference, fear and other negative emotions.

Such negative emotions usually appear in people who are extremely insecure about themselves.

Ye Yin was very confident in his theoretical reasoning. He would never analyze wrong. Although there were hundreds of combinations of results, the basic numbers composing them were only a few.

He had always thought that as long as he grasped the fundamentals, he could predict all actions. When he was little, his ability to make such predictions often scared his parents. They even thought he could read minds or see the future.

But he wasn't that capable.

It was just the ability to arrange some possibilities.

But...Shen Yue's possibility today, he hadn't predicted it.

Why say thank you? The word thank you should not be used in this context.

At least he had never encountered this possibility before.

Ye Yin thought he must figure out Shen Yue's motive for saying thank you, otherwise he would still fail to predict the next time he encountered the same problem.

"Shen Yue, can I ask you a serious question? I did something wrong first, so why did you still thank me? Or do you not know the phrases that should be used to respond to an apology? You should say it's okay or I don't forgive you, not thank me. That makes me feel like I might not have been wrong. I'm a good kid with the ability to distinguish right from wrong, but if it were someone else, your thanking them might encourage a bad atmosphere. You need to know how to protect yourself."

Ye Yin's mind turned very fast, but his mouth kept up just as fast. He was a rare genius who could articulate his thought process!

If it weren't already class time, he would definitely be able to have an in-depth discussion with Shen Yue about whether thank you can be used in the context of an apology.

But class had already started, so...

"Ye Yin, class has started. Go back to your seat."

Ye Yin stopped blabbing at Shen Yue, and turned to the chemistry teacher at the lectern, "Teacher, I want to sit here for this class."

The chemistry teacher sighed, "Then sit there, but don't talk, pay attention." "But I've already learned all the chemistry to be covered this semester."

Chemistry Teacher: .... I didn't ask how far you've studied.

"You...don't listen, but other students want to listen. Be careful not to disturb them."

Who knew, this was like flipping a switch. The students in the special class raised their hands one after another, "Teacher, I've also already learned this semester's curriculum."

"Such simple content, we understand it all at a glance. And it's boring. Can you talk about something interesting?"

"Teacher, can you talk about structural chemistry? I want to hear about that."

"Teacher, do you know the Pauli principle?"

"But I want to learn inorganic chemistry even more..."

The chemistry teacher was very distressed. She had applied to be a middle school teacher in the first place because middle school chemistry was simple, requiring no brain work! But now why were the students in this class all so abnormal? Middle school students should learn what they should be learning in middle school, not bombard her with a bunch of things that had tortured her before to torture her again!

Seeing that the other students in the class were pestering the chemistry teacher, Ye Yin hurriedly turned his head back and continued asking Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, can you answer me? If you don't tell me why, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight because I'll be thinking about the reasoning." Shen Yue blinked. Not being able to sleep...that would be too scary. Who could stand it? She certainly couldn't.

So Shen Yue answered seriously, "What you did actually helped me. Thank you."

Ye Yin was stunned. "Are you really sick?"

Shen Yue nodded. "My big brother said I have lazy disease. Leaving the bed will cure me, so I came to school to sleep."

Ye Yin: ......

Before Ye Yin could think again, Shen Yue had already rested her head on the desk facing Ye Yin's side, looking like she could fall dead asleep at any moment.

It was also at this time that Ye Yin suddenly realized the new classmate seemed to be...particularly good-looking.

Better looking than any girl he had seen before.

How did Dad pursue Mom again back then?

"Shen Yue, won't it be uncomfortable for you to sleep on the desk like this? If you soak a dried or thoroughly dried desk in liquid ammonia at negative 78 to negative 33 degrees Celsius for a period of time, then take it out and let the temperature rise to room temperature, the desk will become soft."

Shen Yue heard it, but Shen Yue didn't want to move anymore.

On the other side, the chemistry teacher was at her wits' end. She had been planning to casually talk about some covalent bonds and molecular structures of diatomic molecules to gloss it over. But then her gaze turned, and she suddenly saw her savior.

Shen Yue!

There was still the precious Shen Yue!

The hell with structural chemistry.

It was time to talk about the periodic table of elements!

"Shen Yue..."
