Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 661 - 663: As Tall as My Brother’s Belt

In the research laboratory, once people got to know Shitou, no one dared to look down on him—a nine-year-old who had aced the university entrance exam with full marks, who would dare treat him like a mere child?

After Shitou started university, he became extremely busy. His classmates on the university campus could always see his busy figure flitting between different majors, acing every exam.

His classmates didn’t even know what to say anymore, some claimed Shitou was a born cheater, and Xia Xiao thought to herself, you guessed right.

In two years’ time, the research projects in the laboratory were completed. Every phase of their research yielded results, albeit with different-sized problems.

Xia Xiao and Shitou were more intent on discovering the greater potential of the energy stone and unlocking the secrets of the energy stone and space.

By then, Shitou had already completed his undergraduate courses and applied for a master’s degree, leapfrogging directly to singeing his seniors’ noses.

He should have still been a junior, yet Shitou was not only mingling with older peers but had even become a senior himself.

After two years of continuous shocks, people at Technology University had become immune to Shitou’s freakish abilities. Not to mention, many people had come to know him quite well. Shitou was the darling of newspaper stories, and many were curious about how a genius was made.

Moreover, some even suspected that Shitou’s IQ was not merely 200, comparing him against some international high-IQ geniuses.

By this time, Xiao Shanyue had already become a student of the Genius Class. She never gave up, and as she grew older, family relations could no longer influence her.

"Are you out of your mind?" Shitou asked, looking at the paper-thin Xiao Shanyue and frowning.

Xiao Shanyue’s face was somewhat pale, and she gave Shitou a smile. Shitou slowly shook his head and pulled her in front of a piece of glass, saying, "Take a look at yourself. Do you look like a ghost? Like a paper person?"

"But I..." Xiao Shanyue hadn’t really taken a good look at herself, and standing beside Shitou, she indeed looked quite miserable.

"No buts—if you don’t even take care of your own body, who else do you expect to take care of you? Your parents don’t care about you, what will you do if you become ill? Do you really want to live in the hospital?"

Xiao Shanyue shook her head, she didn’t want to go to the hospital, and she couldn’t afford to be sick either.

"Then just take good care of yourself. You’re already doing well, you don’t need to compete with me. Although Beibei is also stressed, she lives more easily and freely than you." Shitou, after knowing her for so many years, didn’t wish to see Xiao Shanyue torment herself like this.

She was already malnourished, and now she looked like she was about to be claimed by the heavens. Shitou was busy and could no longer take care of Xiao Shanyue like before. The last thing he expected was to see this ghostly appearance of Xiao Shanyue when he walked out of the laboratory. Shitou furrowed his brow tightly; this was simply seeking death.

Xiao Shanyue hung her head, and Shitou sternly said, "If you keep going like this, I won’t let Beibei be your friend anymore. Beibei doesn’t need a friend who doesn’t take care of their own body, a friend who’s unhealthy. I don’t want Beibei to be influenced by you."

These words were a severe blow to Xiao Shanyue, tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt a pang of panic.

"Eat well, rest well, understand? If you continue to neglect your health, I really won’t let Beibei associate with you anymore." Shitou said and then left.

Xiao Shanyue wiped her tears and nodded at Shitou’s departing figure.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Shitou received the news that Xiao Shanyue had fainted—she was anemic and had low blood sugar.

In the school hospital, Shitou scolded Xiao Shanyue severely and then left.

"Big brother, you were looking for me?" Beibei, hearing the phone ring, came out of the classroom to answer it.

"Xiao Shanyue fainted at school, she is now in the infirmary."

As soon as Shitou finished speaking, Beibei said, "Okay, I’m on my way now. I’ve never seen someone who makes life so hard for herself."

Shitou hung up the phone and didn’t bother anymore.

As expected, when Beibei arrived, she also scolded Xiao Shanyue for two hours straight.

The school doctor, seeing Beibei and the earlier Shitou, who looked similar, could tell they were siblings. Both siblings were alike, their tone of educating others was the same, and now the younger sister seemed even better at schooling others.

The school doctor felt a chill listening to them in the infirmary.

However, Xi Shanyue indeed needed a good lecturing; she was becoming a frequent visitor to the infirmary. A ten-year-old girl, pushing herself to the limit—she was already outstanding enough, there was no need to wear her body down like this.

Xiao Shanyue took the scolding without getting upset, giving Beibei a silly smile. Beibei rolled her eyes, wondering how she could have become good friends with such a person, clearly in need of education. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Is Brother Shitou angry with me?" Xiao Shanyue asked worriedly, because since Beibei had come, she hadn’t seen Shitou.

"Are you still worried about my brother being angry? My brother hates it most when people don’t take care of their bodies, don’t cherish their lives. Congratulations, you’re probably about to be blacklisted by my brother."

At Beibei’s words, Xiao Shanyue nearly burst into tears, "I don’t want Brother Shitou to dislike me."

"Then you should start taking good care of yourself from now on." Saying this, Beibei looked at Xiao Shanyue, "Take a good look at yourself now, you definitely haven’t been properly looking in the mirror."

Beibei then pulled Xiao Shanyue to the same reflective glass where Shitou had pulled her earlier and said, "Look at the two of us. Even though I’m only a year older than you, you are a whole head shorter than me. Standing with my brother, you probably only reach his chest. My mom says that kids who don’t eat well won’t grow tall. If you stay like this, by the time I grow up and get taller, if you don’t grow, you’ll probably only reach my chest. My brother, being a boy, will definitely grow tall, just like my grandpa and dad, and if you stay the same height as now, you might be as tall as my brother’s waistband."

With a snicker, a laugh erupted. Beibei looked over and glared, "Hexuan, what are you doing here?"

The young boy, Hexuan, waved his hand, holding his stomach and laughing, "I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I was already here; it was your talking that made me laugh."

Beibei huffed, pulling Xiao Shanyue along and leaving without bothering with the boy behind her.

Young Hexuan, Beibei had known him since she went to visit the military base when they were children, and they had fought then. At that time, she had beaten Hexuan.

Unfortunately, those days were short-lived. Beibei was no longer a match for Hexuan, and despite her refusal to admit defeat and engaging him in several fights, she was soundly beaten every time, adding to her embarrassment.

Beibei was furious; now seeing Hexuan just irritated her. He was indeed her lifelong enemy.

"Hey, Beibei, where are you going?" Hexuan followed her.

"Who allowed you to call me Beibei? My name is Gao Liyi." Beibei looked at Hexuan as if he were a class enemy.
