Chapter 13

The director group passed back the answer they had just retrieved, and Zou Xuezheng looked at it for a while before suddenly opening her mouth, "Yueyue is really amazing, able to write so many words in such a short time. Xuerong, you have to learn from your younger sister Yue, come look at what your sister wrote."

At first glance, Zou Xuezheng seemed to be praising Shen Yue, but these words sounded strange when they fell on everyone's ears.

Especially Jiang Shiwen, who had read Shen Yue's complete answer, could best understand the meaning behind Zou Xuezheng's words.

What was amazing about Shen Yue was the specific content she had written, but her words shifted the focus to the amount Shen Yue had written for her answer.

Jiang Shiwen didn't know what Zou Xuezheng's purpose was, but this didn't prevent him from mentally marking Zou Xuezheng with a cross.

This woman is suspicious, a bit like the white lotuses his sister had encountered before.

Not sure, keep watching.

Although Zou Xuerong was Zou Xuezheng's younger sister, she behaved completely differently from the calm and composed Zou Xuezheng. She walked with her head slightly lowered, not knowing where to put her hands, giving off a subtle sense of awkwardness.

But the ever "kind-hearted" Zou Xuezheng seemed to not notice this at all. She held Shen Yue's answer and went to Zou Xuerong's face to educate her, "Look at you. Yue already knows how to do this question, why don't you know it when you're a bit older than her? Usually, you still have to put more thought into studying, worry your parents less, you know?"

Shen Yue: ?

She felt like there was something seriously wrong with this Zou Xuezheng, forcing illogical reasoning.

But many audience members had been fooled by Zou Xuezheng.

Zou Xuezheng's last sentence was very deceptive. Once parents were brought up, her actions could be explained as caring for her family, for the good of her family. If Zou Xuerong refuted, she would become the one in the wrong instead.

Zou Xuerong didn't have any intention of refuting. After looking at Shen Yue's answer, her small face turned deathly pale. "Sorry, I will work hard."

At the right time, Zou Xuezheng gently patted her head in comfort, "Good girl, don't blame yourself too much either. As long as you work hard, it will be fine."

Shen Yue again: ?

So can I have my answer back now? I want to eat dinner.

She was about to forcibly take back her answer, but found that it had been taken by someone else.

"Let me see what you wrote." Dong Nuo took Shen Yue's answer from Zou Xuerong's hand and looked at it for a while before suddenly looking at Shen Yue and asking, "Did you write this yourself?"

His tone was not good, it was not an ordinary inquiry, but carried doubt.

Shen Yue did not answer him, reaching out to take back the answer that represented her dinner.

But Dong Nuo hid it behind his back, not letting Shen Yue take it. "How can you prove that you wrote this yourself?" Dong Nuo pressed on aggressively. If this wasn't on TV, she would have jumped up and punched him already.

Up to this point, everyone who saw Shen Yue's answer had a change in expression, making the audience curious too.

[What did she write that made everyone react like this? I'm so curious!]

[Feels like it should be something impressive, I really want to see it too.]

[What impressive thing could this rude kid write, boring.]

[Am I the only one curious about who Shen Ge called?]

[Jiang Shiwen just said Shen Yue was amazing, I guess she might have cited game settings to make her response, and more professional than Jiang Shiwen.]

Seeing the suspense was strung high enough, the production team did not deal with the problems between the guests either, only asking, "Is anyone else done answering the question? If everyone has finished, we will evaluate the answers and hand out rewards."

"I think there's a problem with Shen Yue's answer, she didn't write it herself." Seeing that Shen Yue didn't answer, Dong Nuo thought she was feeling guilty, further confirming his view.

He had heard at school before that Shen Yue's character was not very good. He didn't expect her to be just as badly behaved on the show.

Hearing this, Jiang Shiwen ridiculed from the side, "Don't assume others can't do it just because you can't. Our phones have been confiscated, no internet, no looking up information, even making calls is limited between us. Tell me where you got the answers from, do you have a brain?"

The two were still young, with Jiang Shiwen at 16 years old, and Dong Nuo even younger at just 13 years old, only a year older than Shen Yue. They had not yet learned the pretense and evasiveness between adults.

Jiang Shiwen's words directly ignited Dong Nuo's anger. Dong Nuo gave him a look and said in an equally disdainful tone, "Variety shows are like this. Who knows if her answers were bought in advance? Shen Yue has this kind of character at school, I'm her classmate, how would I not know?"

Jiang Shiwen was about to say something more, but Shen Shuangyi, who had been watching the drama on the side, finally spoke up, "I don't care how you guys fight, but making accusations without evidence is something you should do less of."

Shen Shuangyi was still as arrogant as ever, but after he spoke, the chaotic situation finally quieted down.

In the end, Jiang Shiwen and Dong Nuo were still somewhat afraid of Shen Shuangyi. After exchanging glances, they looked away from each other in mutual disgust.

At a time like this, Zou Xuezheng appeared again to ease the atmosphere, "Shen Ge, don't mind it. Little friend Dong Nuo is just reasonably doubting, it can't be considered slander. After all, Yueyue's answer is really..."

Shen Shuangyi looked at Zou Xuezheng expressionlessly, successfully making her swallow the rest of her words.

After that, he strode to Dong Nuo, took Shen Yue's answer, and after looking at it for a while, he was also a little surprised, though it was fleeting.

"My brother taught Shen Yue these contents at home before. It's impressive that she still remembers."

While speaking, Shen Shuangyi handed Shen Yue's response to the production team.

After this, Dong Nuo, Zou Xuerong and Jiang Shiwen also handed theirs over.

With everyone's answers in hand, the production team simply read them out one by one.

Aside from Jiang Shiwen, Shen Shuangyi, and Zou Xuezheng, whose answers had already been read, the remaining few also wrote some viable explanations with a bit of rationale, though not much.

Until the director took out Shen Yue's answer.

[Finally, waited until this moment to see what answer could cause such a fight.] [What kind of response could a kid this age write, it must be scripted right.]

[I still feel like Zou Xuezheng is a bit shady, scold me and it means you're right.]

[Have you guys forgotten who the people participating in the show today are? They are the batch who need exposure the least!]

After building it up for so long, the production team finally picked up Shen Yue's answer and read it aloud.

Starting with the explanation of the infantry squad, fire support element, assault element, squad leader element, to the plan Shen Yue finally gave, and what seemed to be Shen Yue's own opinion at the end, everything was very reasonable.

And sounded very professional.

"In actual combat, the fire support element can typically only cover limited areas from one firing position. Hence, the fire support element should continually advance to find advantageous new positions during village clearing operations. If necessary, they can call a temporary halt to the assault element's clearing tasks, with the assault element temporarily taking on the fire support duties until the fire support element reaches the new firing position.

The central main road area is extremely dangerous. The assault element should avoid it as much as possible.

For buildings that can only be entered from the central main road direction, the assault element can opt to skip them depending on the situation. These buildings will be cleared by the advancing fire support element... The above is student Shen Yue's answer."

After the production team finished reading, the reactions of the guests aside, the bullet screen exploded.

[Fuck, this spray is next level.]

[If this was really scripted, being able to recite and write it on the spot would still be awesome.]

[I was in Shen Yue's livestream the whole time, this was definitely handwritten on the spot, truly amazing.]

[If it's not a script, I'm saying if, then this kid is a bit awesome.]

[I was thinking earlier that she hadn't spoken at all, maybe it's not that she's rude, but has some mental condition. These kinds of kids often have some extraordinary talent.]

[The preview this morning said Shen Yue was traumatized and couldn't speak. You guys kept saying she was rude, I'm the one convinced now.]

[Waa waa, one line to make me feel guilty for life. Sorry, I'll never say Shen Yue is rude again.]

[If that's the case I can understand why she slept earlier, that must have been from fear.]

[Waa waa waa, poor little darling, does the production team not have a heart?! Knowing she can't speak but still making her perform?!]

Just now, the barrage that was still dissatisfied with Shen Yue gradually became other voices.

People's hearts will naturally lean towards people with ability. If a person without much ability doesn't like to talk, others will feel he is gloomy and unsociable, and deserves to be isolated.

But if a very capable boss doesn't like to talk, others will feel that he should be like this. What's wrong with bosses being different from the masses?

This is people's subconscious double standard. Under the same other conditions, people's hearts will stand on the side of ability.

Shen Yue's current situation is like this.

Not to mention the audience, even the program team was shocked by Shen Yue's move just now when he kept silent and acted invisible.

After reading Shen Yue's answer, they looked at other guests and said, "Today's Easter Egg award goes to Shen Yue. He can get a luxurious dinner for two."

Shen Yue finally waited for this moment and couldn't help lowering her head. She was afraid her upturned mouth corners would expose her persona.
