[Professor Zhao has been sighing for a long time. He has so much blocked breath that he has to sigh from time to time. 】

Yan Ruyu's hand under the notebook was clenched silently, and her smile was a little fake.

Looking at her smiling face, Zhao Beichen choked on what he wanted to say.

"Miss Yan, if you keep making mistakes because I sigh, I won't accept this reason."

Yan Ruyu frowned, "What? Reason?"

"Professor Zhao, I'm really not looking for a reason. What I said is true."

Zhao Beichen took his hand back and put it behind his back, looking down at her intently.

He said calmly, "When Miss Yan goes to participate in the competition, Miss Yan will not be the only one at the competition. It's hard to understand. Is Miss Yan going to kick everyone out because they affected your mental arithmetic?"

"I..." Yan Ruyu hesitated.

[What this person said seems to be quite right...but I didn't find any excuse just now. I just told the truth. Although my attention will be affected by him, it seems that it is indeed true. My own reasons. 】

Yan Ruyu bit her lower lip slightly, thinking about whether she really said the wrong thing just now.

While thinking about it, Yan Ruyu felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She felt as if she had fallen into a trap.

Seeing that she couldn't turn around at this time, Zhao Beichen chuckled lightly, sat down directly, leaned back, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.

"Ms. Yan, practice hard. Even though I have my eyes closed now, I can still hear whether Miss Yan is practicing seriously."

Yan Ruyu pursed her lips and continued practicing resignedly.

Two days later, the school issued a notice, "Students participating in the International Mental Arithmetic Competition need to travel to other cities. The specific city is to be determined. Please communicate with parents in time."

After Yan Fangxiu saw this notice, she immediately ran back to the classroom. Seeing that Yan Ruyu was still there practicing mental arithmetic with her fingers, she walked over quickly.

"Ruyu, I just came back from the office. When I passed the bulletin board, I saw a new notice."

Yan Ruyu stopped the movement of her hand and looked at her doubtfully.

"Is there any new announcement here? Is there any new competition? If there is another competition, I will not participate."

She has been tortured by this mental arithmetic recently, and she is almost going crazy. If she makes a wrong calculation, someone will talk about it for a while, and she really can't stand it anymore.

If there is a new competition, she will never participate again!

Yan Fangxiu waved her hand and shook her head.

"No, no, how could it be a new competition? I haven't even passed the International Mental Arithmetic Competition yet."

"The notice I saw on the bulletin board was that the students participating in the International Mental Arithmetic Competition will have to go to another city for the competition. Let the students participating in the competition discuss it with their parents!"

"What?!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed.

"Are you going to another city? Are you sure? Did you say which city you are going to?"

But the place I go to is too far, will my parents not let me go?

I have been practicing for so long. If I can't go to the competition because it's a far away city, wouldn't all my hard work be in vain?

"The notice only said that we were going to compete in other cities, but the city of the competition is yet to be determined, and there is no accurate information yet." Yan Fangxiu spread his hands and said helplessly.

Yan Ruyu was worried but relieved at the same time when she heard that the participating cities were decided on behalf of her.

After all, if the competition city does not have an exact place, she can tell her parents that the location is not far away, and there is a high probability that her father and mother will not object to her participation.

On the contrary, if the city of the competition has already been decided, it would be hard for her to say anything.

If it's close, it's fine. If it's far, parents may not agree...

Seeing that her sister was silent, Yan Fangxiu probably guessed what he was worried about.

His hand gently rested on Yan Ruyu's hand.

He patted the back of her hand gently and said softly, "Ruyu, don't worry, even if the city where the competition is held is a bit far away, your parents may still let you go."

"Ever since you signed up for this competition, you have been working hard to learn mental arithmetic. You have almost never played as much as you did before. Mom and Dad have seen it for everyone. They will let you go, don't worry."

In order to reassure her sister, Yan Ruyu nodded cooperatively and responded to her comfort.

"I have nothing to worry about. Now that I have a sister, I won't worry anymore. Let's talk about it when we get home."

What Yan Ruyu is worried about is not that her parents will object to her competing in other cities.

But I am afraid that my parents will not have time to accompany me, so I will not let myself go to other cities to compete.

But if it was closer, she might still be able to fight for it...

I don’t know if I can still go...

After returning home, the two of them kept thinking about how to talk to their parents, especially Yan Ruyu. After all, she was the one participating in the competition.

Even though Yan Fangxiu was always there to calm her down, she was still very nervous.

Yan Ruyu was restless and kept squeezing her hands, "Why haven't mom and dad come back yet..."

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Yan Ruyu stopped moving her hands and looked at her sister.

Yan Fangxiu raised her hand and patted her shoulder gently, signaling her not to be nervous.

Yan Fangxiu opened the door and did not see her parents. Only Zhao Beichen, holding a stack of books and half of his head exposed, stood outside the door.

"Professor Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Beichen heard the sound and stuck his head out from the side.

"These books belong to Professor Yan, but Professor Yan and Professor Su still have things to deal with, so I helped bring them back."

"Um...Miss Yan, can I go in?"

"Ah, oh, Professor Zhao, please come in!" Yan Fangxiu hurriedly moved aside in embarrassment.

Yan Ruyu saw a stack of walking books until Zhao Beichen put the books down.

Yan Ruyu's heart, which had been temporarily suppressed by the stone, suddenly felt lighter.

Fortunately, mom and dad are not back...

Yan Ruyu leaned over and looked at the pile of books. She found that these books were all part of the ones she saw in her father's study last time.

Picking up a book casually, "Professor Zhao, aren't these books from my father's study? How come they are in your hands? There are so many of them?"

Zhao Beichen took the water handed over by Yan Fangxiu, "Thank you."

Zhao Beichen, who drank half a glass of water, put one hand on the pile of books and the other hand holding the water glass.

He leaned on the table and said, "Don't Miss Yan know that some of the books in Professor Yan's study were taken away by people from the Revolutionary Committee?"

Yan Ruyu raised the book in her hand in confusion, "My father's book? How could my father's book be taken away by people from the Revolutionary Committee?"
