After returning to his room, Ren Sen couldn’t resist calling his mother.
“Mom, did you know how smart my sister is? Her IQ is through the roof!”
“Hasn’t she always been smart? What’s there to be so surprised about?”
Ren Sen recounted everything that had just happened, including Ren Xin’s technical maneuvers. “Is she really only three years old? What exactly has she been learning all these years…”
On the other end of the line, his mother felt a twinge of guilt as she spoke. “Suddenly, I feel like I’ve failed you. I didn’t give birth to you with a brain as sharp as your sister’s! She’s been independent since she was a baby, always off learning things in secret. To this day, even I don’t know the full extent of what she can do. You know how it is, she’s basically raised herself.”
Ren Sen: “…” I didn’t call you just so you could ruin my day!
“A three-year-old who knows how to use a computer, can read, and has a tongue sharp enough to roast people… something isn’t right…”
His mother replied nonchalantly, “Maybe that’s just what a genius is like! You wouldn’t understand.”
Ren Sen: “…” I’m trying to talk to you about my sister’s education, and you’re just out here attacking me?
Ren Xin was already in a deep sleep. Let someone else deal with the wind and rain outside!
Ren Sen: “…” Does your brother’s life or death really mean nothing to you?
Ever since Ren Sen discovered how extraordinary she was, Ren Xin had completely let herself go. She stopped pretending to be a happy-go-lucky toddler and didn’t stop until she had roasted her brother into a state of social withdrawal every single day.
“Brother, do you know what the trendiest piece of clothing I’ve ever worn is?”
“Hmm?”
“The ones you put on me. Don’t you dry them before you dress your sister? Can’t your hands feel that the clothes are still damp?”
Ren Sen: “…”
“I’m wearing a damp vest, working harder than a beast of burden, eating meals as bland as plain water. My resentment is like a vengeful spirit: I can’t hold it back, I just can’t hold it back~~”
Ren Xin performed her self-composed rap, every line stabbing directly into Ren Sen’s chest. Not a single word was wasted.
It was time to record again. Before this, her “partner” hadn’t contacted her. Perhaps she had found someone else.
“Brother, do you think I’m beautiful?”
“Yes!”
“Then why hasn’t Yuanyuan contacted me? Is a child’s prime really that short?”
“If you’d just shut your mouth, I guarantee you’d be even more beautiful!”
“You guarantee? With what? That half-dead career of yours?”
Ren Sen: “…” Is she really not afraid her brother might do something drastic?
Ren Xin expressed that she wasn’t afraid at all; in fact, she was a little excited!
The production crew drove over to pick them up. Ren Xin was placed in a baby seat, strapped in securely.
She looked happily at the cameraman. “Uncle, I recognize you. You’re the one who likes the ‘North-South Wind1‘.”
Ren Sen asked curiously, “Why the North-South Wind?”
【I’m here! Yes, yes, I want to know too.】
【Is Sister Xin about to roast someone again?】
【Looking forward to it~】
Ren Xin clapped her small hands, looking delighted. “Because he’s so poor he has nothing but the wind to eat!”
Cameraman: “…” I hate child guests who have no sense of boundaries.
Ren Sen gave the cameraman an apologetic look, followed by a “good luck, you’re on your own” glance. He had no intention of trying to save him.
【Hahahahaha…】
Ren Xin swung her little legs, still looking at the cameraman with curiosity. “Uncle, if you transfer me 50 yuan, I’ll tell your fortune.”
Cameraman: “…” Can’t you go bother someone else?
【Let her do it! I’m willing to listen to Sister Xin talk nonsense!】
【Exactly. Even if it’s a scam, so what? Can 50 yuan not buy a child’s health and happiness?】
【To the person above, if I’m not mistaken, this is what they call moral kidnapping2!】
【Is it that obvious?】
【Hahaha… this batch of netizens has some serious ‘silly-billy’ energy.】
【Fans take after their idol!】
Since the journey was long, the director told the cameraman to follow Ren Xin’s lead to see if they could get some good footage.
After Ren Xin received her fifty yuan, she began to put on a grand performance. “Uncle, what aspect do you want to hear about?”
“Career? Love?”
Ren Xin gave him a look of pure disdain. “You only spent fifty yuan and you want the full package?”
【Sister Xin has a point!】
【Go for love. Spending 50 on a career is a waste.】
【Truth. I know exactly where my career is going; I don’t need anyone to tell me.】
“Love, then?”
Ren Xin nodded. “You have a steady partner. Is she your neighbor? Oh, she’s a very good person, but your mother doesn’t really like her. Also, she has a destiny that brings luck to her husband and children3. She’ll be a great help to you in every way.”
