Quiz 58: Jin Nai Nai’s Secret
In the sa h Chen Fei had said, “You’re welcoain,” he’d assu would just give up He hadn’t i would actually return, and so’s spirit However, Chen Fei still didn’t believe that Meng Ming would be able to coh in such a short amount of time
“But…if we’re playing gauess them noelse?”
“No need” Meng Ming was already filled with confidence concerning his victory, and told Chen Fei to go pull out the same dice as before from the drawer
“Dice?” Chen Fei was a bit confused, but he went to go retrieve the dice and plastic cups as he asked, “Wouldn’t gaeous to you?”
Meng Ming firmly replied, “No, let’s just play dice”
Chen Fei placed the cups on the table, but Meng Ming didn’t pick them up Instead, he picked up a piece of printer paper next to the table and said, “Let me borrow this for a moment”
Borrow paper? What does he want to do? Chen Fei was confused “Sure…” He replied
After Chen Fei agreed, Meng Ming’s fingers i the paper into the shape of a cup to make a paper cup!
“Alright! I’ll use this to shake the dice,” Meng Ming confidently smiled
“Sure, but is that any different?” Chen Fei asked
“Listen carefully!”
Meng Ming tossed the three dice into the cup and waved his hand to shake it!
What…exactly is this?! As Meng Ming lifted his hand, Chen Fei was taken aback!
Although he could sense that Meng Ming’s hand was constantly dancing in the air…the things going on in that paper cup…
Can’t be sensed at all!
The bottom of the paper cup had already been firmly sealed with a paper scrap so that no air could flow out! Moreover, although Meng Ming’s hand move into contact could be heard at all!
Ho is that possible, it’s clearly made of paper…no matter how deft one’s movements are, they should make some kind of sound! Chen Fei was somewhat unable to believe that he couldn’t sense this Don’t tell me there aren’t any dice in the cup? That can’t be…I should be able to sense even the slightest of movements! What exactly is that cup…
He could only sense Meng Ming’s hand place the cup down onto the table with a whoosh, but, despite how carefully he listened, he couldn’t hear any changes occurring in the cup!
“Please guess whether it’s large or s said
Chen Fei was speechless With this situation, he knew that Meng Ming had already won He thought for a bit, and decided that no e”
It didn’t er had any
“Ah, how did you do it?”
If anyone else shook a paper cup around so quickly, it would’ve been quickly torn apart However, although Meng Ming had used a great amount of force, the paper cup not only remained intact, it also hadn’t e replied, “I made this cup You must knohat the internal structure is like”
“Right,” Chen Fei said “But it doesn’t feel any different fro for air flow”
“But, in my hands, its insides are like cotton”
Cotton?! Chen Fei suddenly understood It was just like…a plastic cup stuffed with cotton The dice flew and spun around the inside, but, with a very large cushi+oning force, any sounds generated would escape Chen Fei’s ears!
Paper ’s hands, the outside of the cup was as hard and unbreakable as steel, while the inside was incomparably soft like cotton! — This cup was a completely private container that revealed absolutely no information to the outside world!
The paper cup was slowly burned away, revealing three spinning dice on the table
“Oh…I understand You hadn’t sith”
Meng Ming’s skills had already surpassed Chen Fei’s hearing ability! “This is actually the first ti I couldn’t hear” Chen Fei felt soht, aren’t you anxious to meet with Sister?”
“Eh, not really anxious…” Meng Ming hurriedly explained
Chen Fei said, “Since you’re alreadythan I a you there Oh, but Sister is currently studying under Mother’s watch, so we have to sneak there”
“Sneak there?”
“Yes, follow me”
“Hey, where exactly is this?!” [Meng Ming]
“Shh, lower your voice Outside is Sister’s rooht there…!” [Chen Fei]
Meng Ming and Chen Fei were crammed into a narrow dark space He wasn’t sure whether they were hiding in a trunk or a cabinet; it could’ve also been soeway
Having been squeezed so tightly, Meng Ming gloomily complained, “Eh, what exactly is this place for…?”
“Coo to Now that you’ve coht! Mother, and everyone else that lives here, definitely don’t know of this place,” Chen Fei said in a soft voice “Every time I want to co sessions are over Otherwise, Mother will see ”
In other words, the two of them would have to stay crammed in there until Chen Fei’s mother left
“Look” Chen Fei carefully pushed a concealing object away, allowing so to see “Sister and Mother are in front of that desk Careful, don’t let them discover us”
Meng Ming stretched his neck out to look over, and saw that there were indeed two people’s backs in front They were sitting in front of the desk, see session
“Ok, close it first” Chen Fei used the object to cover up again,silently wait
Jin Nai Nai studies so seriously… After personally witnessing Jin Nai Nai study, a strange feeling arose in Meng Ming’s heart He wasn’t sure if it was an emotion of jealousy or disappointment After a while, he asked Chen Fei, “Your sister has your mother’s last name?”
“No,” Chen Fei softly replied “Sister is only older than me by 2 months”
“Ah?! How is that possible?”
“Don’t be so loud…!” Chen Fei explained “Sister is this fa that many people know about You came to find her, but you didn’t even know that?”
Adopted daughter?! Meng Ming was shocked “That ”
“Sister lost her parents when she was very young, but she’s always stayed strong Everyone that recognises her kno diligent she is However, the reason Sister studies so hard isn’t because she’s adopted…”
Meng Ming found these words odd
Chen Fei continued, “She was forced to by my family”
Meng Ming had indeed heard that before As Chen Fei was blind, his faer had any hopes for his studies; thus, the entire fay was focused on Jin Nai Nai They constantly supervised her, ood academic achievements and passed the exam to enter a famous school
“Forced by the family, Sister replaced me and bears all of the acadeh there wasn’t any trace of anger in his eyes, Meng Ming could sense Chen Fei’s self-blaht actually be really good for Jin Nai Nai She must want to obtain academic achievements as quickly as possible”
“No, it’s not like that Although she seems very obedient on the outside…” Chen Fei said with the same expression as before, but with so at all! She’s doing it all for the sake of helping me…”
“She doesn’t like studying? Impossible She’s always nu do so well?!” Meng Ming asked
There was another moment of silence
Inside this tiny and narrow dark room, Chen Fei took a deep breath and blurted out, “Sister is learning fordestroyed, she alone took up the heavy burden of studying Everyone thinks of her as a hardworking, studious child…but that’s just to the eyes of outside people” He rubbed his face and his talking speed decreased “I know that she doesn’t like studying Unknown to others, she has her own little world”
Meng Ming gradually recalled the last two times he met Jin Nai Nai She was always very calm, unusually calm She pretty much didn’t reveal any of her inner world to the outside She doesn’t love studying, yet she still does it to such an extent She’s already used to restraining herself, or…
— “Can’t you let ain popped up in Meng Ming’s mind
Suddenly, the sound of chairs and the table being pushed around came from Jin Nai Nai’s roohter pair were having their final discussion
This whole time, Jin Nai Nai had been closely watched at hos Actually, Chen Fei had wanted his sister to register for the joint exa as well
Rather than being confined like this, Sister enjoys being free and independent more…I’ll persuade her to do what she wants to do! Chen Fei then said to Meng Ming, “For my sake, and for the sake of this faood student in front of us, her teachers, and her classoes to school every day and comes home to revise…she has never once let anyone know that she actually can’t understand the classes or the learning materials at all”
Jin Nai Nai wasn’t an expert at studying?!
Then, what is she relying on to“You mean…”
“Yea Everyone believes that Sister is always number one for exams because she is an excellent L-type In the entire world, only Sister and I know this secret…”
These lines weren’t what Meng Ming had expected to hear Jin Nai Nai actually had such uniinable pressure on her back, and this secret was…
“She’s a C-type student,” Chen Fei said in a low voice
