The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Incomparable (5)_1

Fang Tianze just snorted with laughter, this guy who says one thing and means the other.

Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin approached Guan Qingshu, ”Congratulations on getting the top rank, quite impressive indeed.” Her words were a heartfelt congrats, as she had always recognized him as a promising student.

”Do you really think it’s impressive?” Guan Qingshu chuckled bitterly, ”But what about when compared to Gu Qingheng?”

”You two aren’t really comparable.” Yang Ruxin smiled, ”Besides, you are you, why compare yourself with others?”

”I just want to know... who you think is more formidable in your heart... He can recite Mencius backward, and now I can too, I...”

”Guan Qingshu.” Yang Ruxin helplessly interrupted him, ”Is there something wrong with your brain? Even if you were more formidable than him, so what? He holds an irreplaceable position in my heart. Moreover, even though you’ve achieved the top rank now, you still don’t compare to him.” She blew a strand of hair off her forehead, ”Let me tell you now, Gu Qingheng could compose prose at three, poetry at five, had secured the top rank for scholars at seven, got the same top rank as you did now at nine, and became a Jieyuan at twelve. If he hadn’t been so unfortunate, what do you think he would have become?” These were all things that Qi Jingyi had told her, and when she heard them, she was utterly astonished. This was the legendary prodigy, equipped with a brain like Stephen Hawking’s—had this child been in the modern world, he would have been an unquestionable member of Mensa.

She still remembered the dismayed expression on Qi Jingyi’s face as he told her, probably feeling quite struck.

At this moment, seeing Guan Qingshu so stubbornly comparing himself to Gu Qingheng, Yang Ruxin decided to strike a further blow, letting him understand that there are always people better than oneself, so as to prevent him from constantly feeling so self-important.

”I’ll tell you more, Guan Qingshu, not only can he recite the Four Books and Five Classics backward, he can still write beautifully and draw, despite being blind. He’s even competent in martial arts. Did you know, I’m studying under him now, he’s teaching me ’The Analects of Confucius’, and he doesn’t even need to look to know where every line is on every page. Guan Qingshu, can you do that?”

Guan Qingshu stumbled.

”Guan Qingshu, do you know why I look down on you? It’s because you were too self-centered from the start, thinking you were so great. But when you encounter someone stronger than you, you resort to a kind of despairing self-pity. Honestly, with this attitude, you won’t achieve much in the future...” Yang Ruxin sighed and waved her hand, ”I don’t have time to squabble with you, do whatever you want...” Then she turned and walked away, only to find Gu Qingheng quite close by, and she couldn’t help but smile, ”Eavesdropping on our conversation, were you?”

”Sister-in-law said, we should listen righteously and openly,” Fang Tianze chuckled, actually shocked by what he’d just overheard. So Gu Qingheng was that formidable? He too considered himself a prodigy, always lamenting his poor health that hindered him from fulfilling his ambitions, but now it seemed the gap between him and Gu Qingheng was really not a small one. If he were blind and immobile, he probably wouldn’t want to live anymore.

At this moment, Fang Tianze truly regarded Gu Qingheng as his idol. So, the term ”sister-in-law” he just used was uttered in genuine respect and agreement.

”Sister-in-law?” Yang Ruxin frowned slightly, her tone playful as she looked at Gu Qingheng, ”I wouldn’t have minded you winning over my little brother and sister, but to think you’ve even got this kid on your side?”
