Chapter 273: Cold Academic God x Bright and Intelligent Fake Gold 4

"Okay, let's eat! Today is the start of a new semester for you and your brother, so let your dad go with you two."

Yun Qian walked naturally and sat down quickly, thinking in her heart that she should choose a path that would allow her to have someone to rely on. If Yun Nongying came back next year and didn't want to get along well with her, she would become an orphan, and how could she continue to go to school?

She had no shortage of money, but her son of luck was at school, and she had to have a family, she thought to herself. While everyone was quietly eating, she noticed that her younger brother, Yun Shen, seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The Yun family has good upbringing and tries not to talk at the dinner table, so even if Yun Shen wanted to say something to his sister, he didn't have the chance.

It wasn't until Yun Qian got into the nanny car that usually took them to school that she caught a glimpse of Yun Shen's tangled eyebrows. She couldn't help but laugh, "Yun Shen, do you have something to say to me? You seem to have been holding it in for quite some time."

For a while, there were only the driver and the siblings in the car, so Yun Shen stopped caring about anything else. "Sister, do you remember that some time ago, Dad asked me to meet a teacher who specializes in math competitions?"

Yun Qian nodded slightly, searching her memory for the incident, "Yeah, yes, what happened?"

She remembered that Yun's father always wanted his younger brother to study hard and had found many ways, but unfortunately Yun Shen didn't seem to like it very much. He liked music, art, and the interesting animal world.

"I don't want to go, sister, can you..."

Yun Qian raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze lingering on her brother's slightly childish face for a moment. His expression revealed a sense of conflict and hesitation, and it was clear that he had mustered up a lot of courage to speak.

"You don't want to go? Why?" Yun Qian's tone was calm, with a hint of inquiry but no hint of blame.

Yun Shen bit his lip, lowered his head, rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands, and said in a low voice: "I just... don't like it. Math competitions are so boring, I really can't concentrate on learning..."

"Then what do you want to learn?" Yun Qian leaned back in her chair and asked in a relaxed tone. She was not in a hurry to make a judgment on the matter, but wanted to see what her brother was thinking.

"I want to learn painting," Yun Shen's eyes lit up, as if he had mentioned something he truly loved. "And... animal behavior! I want to learn more about interesting things and not just focus on numbers every day."

Yun Qian lowered her eyelids, her gaze slightly focused, as if she were deep in thought. She recalled some of her brother's daily habits: after school, he would always clutch an animal magazine, eagerly flipping through it; sometimes he would squat for half a day, just to observe the new birds in the back garden.

She naturally understood her father's expectations. Given the Yun family's background, it was understandable that his parents wanted his younger brother to follow a path that met the conventional definition of "success"—attending a prestigious university, winning awards, entering high society, becoming the envied "other people's child." These were opportunities unattainable for ordinary people, but for Yun Shen, they became an invisible pressure.

but--

Yun Qian raised her eyes and asked calmly, "Yun Shen, if you don't go to class, what will you do with this time?"

"I..." Yun Shen was stunned. He obviously didn't expect her to ask that. He opened his mouth but didn't answer immediately. He scratched his hair, his eyes flickering. "I... maybe read a book?"

"What book?" Yun Qian's tone remained calm, but with an inescapable seriousness.

"Just... books about animals, or practicing the piano..." Yun Shen said in a low voice, but his voice became softer and softer, and it seemed that he was a little lacking in confidence.

Yun Qian's eyes darkened slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "You're not sure yourself, right?"

Yun Shen was stunned, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

"Yun Shen," Yun Qian said in a gentle yet serious tone, "It's understandable that you don't like math competitions, but if you don't even know what you want to do, then your reason for refusing isn't sufficient. Our parents are willing to let us choose the path we like, but the prerequisite is that we have to know which path we want to take."

Yun Shen bit his lip, raised his head after a long pause, and said unwillingly, "But... I really don't like it! Math competitions are too boring, and they have nothing to do with my interests!"

"Then prove with your actions that you have better options, instead of just saying 'I don't like it.'" Yun Qian looked directly at her brother, her tone undeniable. "You like piano and animals, so make these goals worthy of your investment, instead of using them as excuses to avoid them."

Yun Shen lowered his head, bit his lip and was silent for a while. Finally, he nodded and said softly, "I understand, sister..."

Yun Qian looked at him, smiled, and rubbed his head: "Okay, now that you understand, don't worry about it. Go and try taking the math competition class a few times. If you really can't learn it, come and talk to Dad. Then, I will help you talk."

Yun Shen's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had received encouragement: "Really?"

"Of course." Yun Qian smiled faintly, "But the premise is that you have to do your part first, okay?"

"Okay... then, sister, can you come with me? You're so smart, the teacher might really appreciate you!"

Yun Qian raised an eyebrow at her brother's words, then quietly pondered for a moment. Accompanying her brother to class was a trivial matter for her, and it could also be a good opportunity—she could use this time to explore the school more and find the legendary child of destiny sooner rather than later, before crucial clues were left unresolved.

So, she nodded gently, her tone calm but with some certainty: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Yun Shen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He straightened his back with some joy, his tone filled with unconcealed excitement, "Sister, you're so kind! You're so smart! If the teacher saw you, he would definitely praise my sister for being so amazing!"

Yun Qian couldn't help but laugh at his childish words. She turned her head to glance at him, a subtle smile on her lips. Before she could say anything else, Yun Shen was already looking at her with gratitude, as if he had been saved by a savior.

At this moment, the car door suddenly opened and Yun's father got in from outside.

Yun Shen's face was originally full of joy, but when he saw his father, he subconsciously straightened his back, restrained his expression, and sat up straight.

Yun Qian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and turned to look out the window. Although Father Yun's majesty was not a pressure for her, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden depressing atmosphere.
