Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

As Chu Yao finished speaking, a group of guests behind him looked at Ye Xian, recalling her ignorance and foolishness revealed during past media interviews, as well as her educational level, not even having graduated from high school, a trace of arrogant amusement in their eyes.
"Him? How could he compare with those of us who graduated from top universities at home and abroad?"
Ye Xian’s eyes slightly slanted as she glanced at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao: "What’s the matter, you don’t even dare to try?"
"Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?"
Cary sensed Chu Yao’s provocation and, protective as a mother hen, quickly pulled Ye Xian behind him, "Let me show you all a demonstration first. Maybe the points I win alone will be enough for both of us to pass!"
Lin Yan: "If yours aren’t enough, there’s mine too."
Jiang Wanze: "Add mine to that."
"Truly touching team spirit!"
Chu Yao clapped in front of the camera with a look of genuine admiration and envy. As he approached FOR, however, he took off his headset, "Why don’t you just rename yourselves the ’Three Drags One’ group? It’s so fitting."
Cary: "You..."
Ye Xian held back Cary, chuckling lightly.
Before coming here, Jiang Wen had told her that in such cruel competitive shows, you’re a target if you stand out too much, so it’s best not to draw too much attention.
But now... she wanted to keep a low profile too, but someone just wouldn’t allow it.
"Xiao C, Brother Yao is just being kind. After all, I haven’t even finished high school, how could I compare with someone like Brother Yao, a brilliant student who graduated with a full scholarship from Hong Kong University? He might know things I don’t, but I’m sure that what I know, he will definitely know too. So, let me go first."
Worry flickered through Lin Yan and Jiang Wanze’s eyes.
Listening to her tea-scented words, Cary was completely puzzled, "???" Hold on, are you deaf? Where did it sound like he was being kind? And why call him Brother Yao and me Xiao C?
Cary grabbed her, wanting to reason things out properly, but Ye Xian raised her hand, "I’ll go first!"
"Hey, are you really going up?"
Heh, simple minds really can’t stand provocation.
Chu Yao sneered, arms crossed over his chest, ready to take pleasure in watching her make a fool of herself.
The production team: "Please welcome our first contestant, Ye Xian, to the answer board to answer questions starting from the first level!"
Ye Xian walked up to the answer board, glanced at levels 1 to 4, then raised her hand again.
The production team: "Do you have another question?"
Ye Xian: "The first three levels are too easy, may I start directly from the fourth level?"
After she spoke, FOR, the production team, and everyone else were stunned: "???" The first three levels are too easy? What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
The comment section erupted into laughter, thinking she was just creating a comedic effect for the show.
’Hahaha, no good at anything but first place in boasting’ ’Not gonna lie, the one ranked last like me also gets this audacious when facing the exam paper’ ’Although Ye Xian’s education isn’t great, his confidence sure is!’ ’Love the attitude of Ye Xian, it’s awesome!’ ’Hahaha, it’s not scary if a poor student talks big, it’s scary when a poor student brags’ ’This is a variety show after all, just be funny, why so serious?’
The production team originally wanted her to take it seriously and stop joking around, but seeing that the live comments were quite positive, they casually agreed, "Alright then!"
They had thought she would chicken out immediately, but unexpectedly... she actually walked straight into the fourth-level challenge? Was she going to play out the whole act?
A staff member took two Rubik’s Cubes covered by glass domes and a black silk scarf and walked over. On live camera, they scrambled the cubes and then handed them to Ye Xian for her to examine.
Ye Xian took the Rubik’s Cubes, carefully observing the two chaotic-colored polyhedrons.
In just one minute, she nodded, signaling the staff that they could begin. Two of them took the black scarf and blindfolded her eyes while a mechanical voice echoed from the game screen, "Test countdown starting: five, four, three..."
When the countdown reached "two," she hadn’t called to stop yet, and the guests on the scene were puzzled.
Has she gone mad? She’s not joking, but seriously trying to solve a blind Rubik’s Cube? That’s indeed the ignorance of a newborn calf, fearless due to the unknown!
That’s the Fourth-level blind cube!
Rubik’s Cube, Huarong Road, and Independent Diamond Chess are all known as the three impossibilities of the intelligence game world by global intelligence experts. And blind Rubik’s Cube solving is the highest difficulty level among the Rubik’s Cube puzzles!
It’s a tremendous test of memory, spatial imagination, logical analysis, and mathematical computation abilities. It’s not just challenging for the average person, even those with extremely high IQs find it difficult to succeed.
While they were reviewing the problems earlier, no one had bothered to look at the last question. The production team most likely never expected anyone to attempt the last challenge, which was designed as an insurmountable barrier, meant to prevent anyone from reaching the maximum score of seven points.
To take on a problem no one else dared to imagine, and as a high school student no less, wasn’t he just making a joke of himself?
"Three, two, one! Challenge starts!"
The blind Rubik’s Cube challenge officially began, Ye Xian took the scrambled fourth-level Rubik’s Cube from the staff, paused for a moment, carefully recalling the colors of each side of the cubes she had just observed, and her brain quickly started to map patterns, rotate relationships, and compute formulas.
Chu Yao, about to sneer at her hesitation, noticed how her thumbs were supporting the cube, her left middle finger pressing against the center red tile of the cube, while her other fingers began to spin it rapidly.
The live camera was focused squarely on her.
The youngster’s hands were pale and slender, with distinct joints, as if meticulously sculpted by God’s careful strokes—an art piece of such perfection that there was not a single flaw. Now, those hands moved agilely over the cube, casting spells, each finger collaborating with the others, advancing and retreating appropriately. When the speed reached a certain degree, they fluttered like the wings of a butterfly, exquisite and almost transparent.
Such beautiful hands, captured by the high-definition camera, elicited amazement and admiration.
"I can’t handle it anymore, I want to touch Ye Xian’s little hands, or let him touch me." "These hands belong to me, none of you shall defile them." "Wuuuu, how did I ever overlook Brother Ye’s peerlessly beautiful hands? It must be Brother Ye’s handsome looks that did it!" "These hands look even better than animated models, truly top-notch!" "Even if he can’t restore it, just watching these beautiful hands is worth it!"
The guests witnessed her hands moving as if they were flying—she was quite convincing in her act!
In a live broadcast for the whole internet, under all those watching eyes, everyone was just staring at Ye Xian’s hands. One minute passed, then two minutes...
At two minutes and five seconds, with a "click," the Rubik’s Cube in Ye Xian’s hands settled.
Six faces, six colors, perfectly restored!
There was a moment’s stillness in the atmosphere on site, and even the live comments paused for a moment.
Then, the next second, the entire program team stood up in shock, and the seven guests leaped from their chairs as if on springs.
Chu Yao ran up incredulously, and upon seeing the perfectly restored Rubik’s Cube, his complexion changed, turning a shade of purple!
This... how is it possible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
