Chapter 99: Little Monster

“145.”

“…” Everyone was silent and even the sound of Sheng Hanjing’s beautiful piano stopped abruptly. Only Yi Juncheng remained calm, smiling gently. This was his little monster’s style.

Sheng Yuxi’s face twitched. “Sister, you said you didn’t do well but you scored 145. Then what score were you expecting?”

Sheng Yang touched her nose and pondered it seriously before she said, “At least 147.”

Sheng Yuxi almost cried.?Come on. My highest score in Chinese never even topped 140 back then, yet Little Sis scored 145 but is still unhappy. How could two people be so different?

“Hahaha, my daughter is amazing. She’s like me. I got a full scholarship from HF when I was young!” Sheng You suddenly laughed out loud. He was in his forties, which was the golden age for men. He looked really charming when he laughed.

“What?! No, she inherited this from me. What’s the big deal around a full scholarship? I was even invited to the White House when I was studying in the US! Hmph, a full scholarship isn’t hard to get at all.”

Then the couple started arguing over whom their daughter had inherited this bright mind from like two five-year-old kids.

Seeing them like this, Sheng Hanjing’s heart felt happy and his childhood trauma seemed to have disappeared. He improvised a song: “A Day to Remember”.

“It sounds so beautiful,” Sheng Yuxi said cheerfully. “It’s a pity that Sister can’t play it. Otherwise, you two could’ve played this song together.”

In fact, not only was his younger sister unable to play the piano but his other family members couldn’t either.

Although Sheng Yuxi had no memory of those things from his childhood, every time he listened to his second elder brother playing the piano, he could sense his brother’s sadness and loneliness. He wanted to comfort his second elder brother but didn’t know how.

But now his second elder brother didn’t look lonely anymore. Under a warm orange light, he was smiling. It was the most sincere smile he had ever seen.

Yi Juncheng leaned against the wall, his long legs crossed, and his eyes slowly falling on Sheng Yang’s white flawless fingers.

Sheng Yang’s fingers were gently tapping to the beat following the piano.?Is it true she can’t play the piano?

Thinking about it, Yi Juncheng couldn’t help but smile. Why didn’t he believe she couldn’t play the piano?

Is there anything my little monster can’t do?

The only thing she didn’t know how to do was… probably how to date.

He lowered his head and smiled, looking exceptionally charming.

Sheng Yue’s home:

“Not bad, you did much better this time.” Jiang Xinyi checked Sheng Yue’s tests one by one and finally felt relieved. She heard that the exams this time were quite difficult, so she specifically asked Sheng Yue’s teachers and they told her that Sheng Yue achieved her normal standard this time and even progressed in physics, which relieved her.

However, looking at the ranking, she frowned. “Only third place?! What’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Xinyi was usually gentle and Sheng Yue wasn’t quite afraid of her but since Sheng Yang returned, her mother seemed to have turned grumpy and Sheng Yue was even a bit scared of her. With a trembling voice, Sheng Yue said, “Someone outdid herself this time, but she’s usually not as good as me. Just this time.”

There was nothing wrong with that. This was the first time that Sheng Yang had taken a major exam. It was true that Sheng Yang hadn’t surpassed her before.
