Chapter 008

　　Yu Shu asked Yan Jin, “Do you have anything else you need to take?”

　　”The system set such high limitations for us, there are many things we can’t bring. I just brought some generic gold bars.” Yan Jin sighed. “I have quite a variety of books, I thought I’d memorize more, maybe they’ll come in handy later.”

　　If nothing else, at the very least she needed to remember how to handle bathrooms and sanitary napkins.

　　After saying that, Yan Jin pulled a book from the bookshelf and quickly flipped through it.

　　[Emm I don’t get it, I really don’t get it. Even with a good memory, can she remember by flipping so fast?]

　　[Quantum reading has long been debunked, tsk.]

　　After rapidly flipping through a book, Yan Jin caught a glimpse of Yu Shu’s hesitation out of the corner of her eye. After a moment of thought, she said, “I have a very good memory.”

　　So there was no need to look at her with those “how can I get her to stop doing this silly thing” eyes.

　　”I don’t distrust you.” Yu Shu said tactfully, “It’s just, you’re flipping the pages so fast, won’t you miss something?”

　　Yan Jin put the finished book back on the shelf and emphasized again, “I have a very good memory.”

　　Seeing that Yu Shu still had the look of wanting to persuade her but not knowing how, Yan Jin sighed inwardly. “You pick a random book, I’ll read it on the spot and recite it to you on the spot.”

　　Yu Shu didn’t like to purposely embarrass others, but he couldn’t dissuade Yan Jin, so he randomly pulled out a book.

　　This time Yan Jin read it very quickly too. Yu Shu had just organized his thoughts when she closed the book.

　　”You, you finished reading it?” Yu Shu glanced at the book title and blinked, saying tactfully, “The vocabulary in this book is quite obscure, why don’t you read it again.”

　　”It is indeed quite obscure, there are some words I don’t even know the meaning of,” Yan Jin said, “So I memorized the annotations too.”

　　Seeing Yan Jin so confident, Yu Shu was momentarily at a loss for words.

　　”It would take too long to recite in order, you randomly flip to a chapter and I’ll recite it.”

　　Yu Shu flipped open the book with mixed feelings. “Then start with the first chapter.”

　　Yan Jin: “In ancient times, Emperor Yao said to appoint Xun. Respectfully clarifying literary thoughts calmly, sincerely humble and yielding, illuminating the four directions, conforming to those above and below…”

　　[Any friends who understand classical Chinese, can you tell which chapter she’s reciting?]

　　[The first chapter of the Book of Documents, with annotations as numerous as cow hair. Without the annotations, I have no idea what this chapter is talking about.]

　　Yan Jin recited three randomly selected chapters by Yu Shu in a row, surprisingly without a single word missing.

　　Originally, Yu Shu thought Yan Jin was all talk, but the more he listened, the more complex his feelings became, and a sense of admiration even arose. “Your memory is just too good.”

　　The chapters were all randomly chosen by Yu Shu, so he could better appreciate the terrifying nature of Yan Jin’s rapid memorization.

　　”If I had such a good memory when I was in school, I would definitely be top of the class.”

　　[There’s no way someone can remember after just one glance, Yan Jin must have memorized it before.]

　　[I’m Yan Jin’s schoolmate. If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn’t believe it, but she’s Yan Jin who got a perfect score on the college entrance exam.]

　　[… Damn! I finally understand why I always felt like I heard the name Yan Jin somewhere before. It’s her! Yan Jin, the nightmare of the senior class!!]

　　Yan Jin couldn’t help but be amused by Yu Shu’s envious gaze. She was rarely modest. “My memory is just a bit better than ordinary people.”

　　”You’re so humble-bragging.” Yu Shu muttered, “The ‘bit’ you said, it’s the ‘bi’ of billionaire, right?”

　　When the two finished packing and were about to head to the female-dominant country, Yu Shu reluctantly hugged his little darlings for a good while. “Meatball, Meatball, when Daddy’s not home, you have to think of Daddy.”

　　No sooner had Yu Shu reluctantly put down his little darlings than they eagerly ran to Yan Jin, circling around her feet incessantly.

　　Yan Jin hugged her beloved little cactus. “… Shall I excuse myself for a bit?”

　　If they were little cats she met on the street, Yan Jin would have gone along with their wishes at this time and petted their little heads.

　　But the resentment in her unfortunate younger brother’s eyes was almost materializing. Yan Jin felt it was better for her not to move.

　　Yu Shu felt Yan Jin might as well not have spoken. The moment she opened her mouth, she tore through the facade, leaving him unable to deceive himself that he wasn’t jealous.

　　Forget it, Yu Shu deflated. “Since they want you to hold them, just hold them.”
