Chapter 027

　　[Huh? I didn’t know there was such a saying.]

　　[Does Yan Jin want to help Yu Shu fend off admirers? But why did she say Yu Shu is bad luck for wives? It’s not good for Yu Shu’s future prospects of finding a partner.]

　　[I think everyone doesn’t need to overthink it. We should trust Yan Jin’s emotional intelligence. The answer might make people laugh so hard their stomachs hurt.]

　　”What?” Li Min was shocked, her eyes wide open. “Is it really that serious?!”

　　Yan Jin nodded gravely, “Absolutely true.”

　　In fact, the “death” Yan Jin was referring to was not the “death” Li Min was thinking of.

　　The “death” Yan Jin meant was the death of Yu Shu’s career.

　　Although Yan Jin didn’t follow celebrities, she had heard snippets online about the entertainment industry’s “unspoken rules”.

　　One of them was deeply etched in Yan Jin’s memory: if a young star falls in love, they’ll be struck by lightning!

　　Although Yan Jin didn’t pay attention to it later, she thought about it and felt she could understand this logic.

　　Young stars rely on selling their persona to attract fans and make a living from fans, so they can’t date. Once they date, it’s considered stepping on fans, causing a massive loss of fans and backlash, dealing a heavy blow to their career.

　　Although it was a different world, Yan Jin thought for Yu Shu’s career to be so successful, his ambition for his career must also be very strong, and this unspoken rule should be ingrained in his bones.

　　So in the previous few times when Yan Jin almost lost herself in infatuation and wanted to break her “a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its burrow” rule, when she thought of this unspoken rule, she quietly retracted her eager steps.

　　Dating requires mutual willingness from both parties. If one party has reservations, then there’s no need to consider it.

　　Dating doesn’t need to be treated like a life-and-death problem.

　　Li Min kept shaking her head, “What a pity, you two are such a good match but can’t be together.”

　　Because the sympathy in Li Min’s eyes was too obvious, Yan Jin felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. She casually found an excuse to go watch Yu Shu teaching the little girl to read.

　　”We just read it several times. I believe the smart Guo Guo should have memorized it by now,” Yu Shu smiled gently. “Come, let’s try reciting it once.”

　　”Heaven and earth, dark and yellow, the universe was vast and immense at the beginning…” Guo Guo’s recitation was quite fluent at the start, but then she started stuttering.

　　”Began, began to create writing, then made clothing. Pushed…” Guo Guo repeated “pushed” many times but still couldn’t recite the next line.

　　Yan Jin couldn’t bear to watch and quietly prompted her, “Pushed ranks and yielded the nation, there were Yu, Tao, and Tang.”

　　Yu Shu glanced at Yan Jin. Yan Jin casually shifted her gaze as if she wasn’t the one who just prompted.

　　Yu Shu was very patient. In the end, with his help, Guo Guo recited the Thousand Character Classic, which had left her hanging on the tree for half an hour without being able to memorize, to the point required by the teacher.

　　After leaving Guo Guo’s home, Yu Shu consciously picked up the chubby bundle and asked Yan Jin, “Have you read the Thousand Character Classic before?”

　　Yan Jin shook her head, “No, this is my first time hearing it.”

　　Yu Shu didn’t believe her, “But you recited it so fluently.”

　　”Oh,” Yan Jin said leisurely, “Probably because I’m smart.”

　　Yu Shu was amused by Yan Jin’s little smugness, “I forgot you have photographic memory.”

　　”This kind of trivial little talent isn’t worth specially remembering,” Yan Jin said solemnly. “I have other very excellent talents. Those are the excellent talents worth remembering.”

　　Yu Shu said slowly, “I haven’t seen your other excellent talents yet. I only see one talent – boasting.”

　　”Boasting about things you don’t have is called boasting,” Yan Jin corrected. “I’m boasting about things I do have. That’s called fair and objective self-awareness, called self-confidence.”

　　[My daily joy of guarding the live stream room is watching them bicker with each other.]

　　[Bicker? They’re just having a childish squabble, how can that be called bickering? The destructive power is weak as hell.]

　　”Although you’re quite shameless, you do have many good points,” Yu Shu sighed. “I can’t help but start pitying your future children.”

　　”Why?” Yan Jin was puzzled.

　　”With someone like you who has exceptional memory, if the child can’t memorize it after reading it three times, you’ll definitely look at her like she’s an idiot.”

　　Yu Shu said lightly, “You don’t know, ever since we decided to live together, I’ve been worried that if I do something stupid in the future, you’ll look at me like I’m an idiot.”

　　”How could that be?!” Yan Jin’s eyes widened. “Even if you don’t believe in my character, you can’t not believe in your own face!”
