Chapter 272: Acting

He hated this feeling. It was precisely because he didn’t receive any paternal love that he did all kinds of nonsensical actions from a young age, hoping that his father would react—even if he just scolded him.

He thought about how Sheng Yue got good grades but his father was still indifferent about it. If he acted out and gave his father a headache, he would at least glance at him, right?

However, that wasn’t the case… No matter what he did, everyone hated him. When his father came home, he would smile at him as though his father was a stranger.

At this time, he vaguely heard footsteps and suddenly looked up.

The slender and beautiful figure was coming down the stairs step by step. She was holding a lot of things in her hands.

She came back!

At this moment, Sheng An couldn’t help but burst into tears. He didn’t even have the chance to see what she had brought. It turned out that he hadn’t been tricked!

Sheng Yang had always been someone who kept her promises. She was just going through the things that she thought would entertain him. She ended up taking some time because she didn’t know what he liked.

Sheng Yang walked up to him and looked at him. Sheng An was smiling, looking completely different from his gloomy self earlier, but his tone was still willful. This was something he was accustomed to since childhood, so it was hard to change it. “What did you bring me?”

Sheng Yang slowly raised her hand. Only then did Sheng An notice what she was holding. His smile froze on his face.

Sudoku, Klotski, Go, and some books on various subjects.

Sheng Yang’s room had very few books. Before she came back, Sheng You and Kang Weizhen didn’t know anything about her situation, so they just bought a few for her. Even so, it took her a long time to flip through them before coming down.

She thought these books would be good for Sheng An and could alleviate his boredom.

But Sheng An didn’t think so. Since he was a child, his biggest headache had been school, especially mathematics. Most of the time, he didn’t understand the questions.

His best scores were 24 in math and 22 in Chinese.

However, he didn’t care about his grades at all. After all, he didn’t have to work in this lifetime or worry about food, just like his father.

Hence, he got a headache whenever he read.

“Is this what you meant by interesting?” Sheng An felt a headache coming on.

“Yes.”

“…”

The corners of Sheng An’s mouth twitched, and he was about to say something.

Sheng Yang glanced at him disdainfully. “What? You can’t even figure out these simple things?”

Sheng An swallowed the words he was about to say, rolled up his sleeves, and said indignantly, “How’s that possible? How could I not know how to figure these out?”

The last thing he could tolerate was being looked down on by his beautiful cousin whom he viewed as his enemy.

“Just you wait.”

“Okay.” Sheng Yang didn’t believe him, which triggered the flames of war in Sheng An’s chest. His depression immediately disappeared.

“Then you can take your time to solve them.” Sheng Yang turned around leisurely. Sheng An was obviously struggling with the questions and had no time to answer.

Sheng Yang yawned lazily.

Talking to a child was tiring. She didn’t want to talk to him anymore. He would have to rely on himself to solve these questions.

She might as well read a few more books.

Her acting skills were improving day after day, while her mind was also getting sharper.

When Sheng Hanjing returned home, he saw this unbelievable scene.
