Everyone: "..."
The chat: "..."
"Ji Xi should study nutrition. He can take care of himself every day and try to outlive Yan Xianjue."
"Nutrition won't do. I suggest traditional Chinese medicine. Whenever he feels like he's about to drop dead, he can stick himself with a couple of needles."
"Ah, but wouldn't Ji Xi drop dead before he even graduates? Finals in traditional Chinese medicine are like surviving a heavenly tribulation."
"Doesn't Shen Fangli's law degree still set the bar at the bottom?"
"I'm begging you, can you all stop laughing at your big brother while you're no better yourselves?"
While everyone was rendered speechless by Ji Xi's answer, Yan Shan suddenly spoke up. "Have you considered going into academia?"
Lü Hui froze, taking quite a while to realize Yan Xianjue's second sister was speaking to him.
He pointed at his own nose. "Me?"
"Pfft." Yan Xianjue turned and rested his chin on Shen Fangli's head, laughing like a deflated balloon.
Shen Fangli pushed at his chest. "If you want to laugh, then laugh. Why are you taking the chance to mock me for being short too?"
Yan Xianjue blinked, his face the picture of innocence. "I didn't."
Shen Fangli: "...Close your eyes before talking to me."
Yan Xianjue: "No way."
Yan Xianjue had a reason for laughing.
Because only after his second sister spoke did he remember that, in the novel, there really was a Top Student who later went into academia and seemed to solve some kind of major problem.
The sort of super difficult problem whose name he could not even remember.
It had little to do with Yan Xianjue, so he had not paid it any particular attention.
But... was that person really Lü Hui?
Was someone that chatty really suited to working on something
