My name is Pei Xinyan, nicknamed Xingxing, and I am the daughter of a couple who are among the top ten outstanding young people in China.
That’s right, my parents were both named among the top ten outstanding young people in China. It is my pride, but also my pressure.
Because I have a twin brother (although my dad says he is the older brother), who is a genius, and I am just an ordinary girl.
My mother said that since the day I was born, I have been stronger than my brother, grew faster than my brother, and was more lively and clever than my brother. Everyone likes me very much.
On the contrary, my younger brother has been motionless since he was young and he grew up slowly. My mother said that when the difference in our heights was the most outrageous, I was twice as big as him.
It wasn't until my parents became too busy to take care of us and sent us to daycare that our differences gradually became apparent.
In the nursery, the taciturn Diandian was unexpectedly welcomed by all the children. The children vied for Diandian to play the role of their father, saying that Diandian was very much like their father and looked particularly majestic.
At that time, I didn’t think the difference was obvious, because every time I was asked to play the role of a father, I was playing the role of a mother.
Although Diandian is always impatient to deal with such situations, he has a wooden face and doesn't like to express himself. Except for me, other children don't feel his impatience.
I was at the age where I loved to play, so I didn't care about his impatience and just pulled him to play with me.
He is still quite patient. Even if he is impatient inside, he will patiently accompany me and say that he is taking care of his sister.
Every time this happens, I always feel that being a younger sister is not bad, at least I can be spoiled by my brother. It is my father who has foresight. If he were my brother, he probably would not spoil me like this.
In short, I had a lot of fun when I was a child, but Diandian was always deep in thought like a little adult. Although we are twins, I really don’t know what he was thinking.
And we don’t look very similar. Others say we look alike, but I feel that we are not the same at all.
He looks very gentle, with a bit of a masculine look; I am different, I look like my father, and my father says that I have a bright and generous appearance. When I grow up, I will become a bright and dazzling beauty.
My mother often says that my father is just bragging, but my father is happy to do so.
It’s not that my dad doesn’t dote on Diandian, it’s just that he doesn’t dote on me as obviously as he does on me. When my dad held me in his arms when I was a child, he never thought of holding Diandian as well. Diandian doesn’t like adults to hold him.
When he was very young, some adults liked him very much, saying that he was very well behaved and they always loved to tease him, but he didn't like that. He just liked to think about things quietly.
Later, the adults in the family also noticed this, and gradually fewer people liked to tease him, so I just accepted all the love he transferred to me.
Until we entered elementary school, the first grade was quite normal. Our IQs were not low, and we had older brothers and sisters at home to help us with our homework. We got 100 points in every exam, and the teachers liked us very much.
But after entering the second grade, he not only got 100 marks, but also always read some third and fourth grade books at home. After the midterm exam, he told his mother that he wanted to skip a grade.
I don't know how he knew about skipping a grade, but he ignored my crying and emphasized over and over again in a very calm tone that he wanted to skip a grade.
Why did he skip a grade? He is younger than me, thin and small, not as tall as me, not as fat as me, and he wants to skip a grade to the third grade. I don't accept it!
I rolled around and made a fuss at home, not wanting him to skip a grade. I thought that as his older brother he would still spoil me this time, but I was wrong.
This time he didn't let me make a fuss. Instead, the more I made a fuss, the more determined he became to skip a grade.
In the end, he actually skipped to the fourth grade!
That's the fourth grade, and I won't be able to attend for another two years. How could he bully me like this?
So I also went to read the third grade books, but I found that I couldn’t get into it at all. I was so angry, so I went to ask my dad, and I asked him if I was really stupid.
He said no, it’s just that my brother took away my intelligence while I was in my mom’s womb. I am the same as an ordinary child now, but because my brother inherited a part of me, he is smarter than normal children.
This explanation is quite reasonable, so I agree with it. Go ahead and skip a grade! I will feel proud to tell others that I have a brother who can skip a grade.
It was not until I met Uncle Lu Zhien that I realized how high Diandian’s IQ was. It is a level that ordinary people like us can never reach!
From the first time they met, Uncle Lu Zhien liked Diandian very much. He especially liked being with him, taking him back to his room to read, and even telling him about his own research projects.
I went there once or twice, but found that I couldn't understand a thing, so I never went again.
Who would have thought that after some time, Uncle Lu Zhien actually said that Diandian would be of great help to his experiment and applied to bring Diandian into his laboratory.
Oh my god, my whole family was shocked, and I was the most shocked. Was this really Diandian? Was this the brother I grew up with? I must be dreaming. I must be dreaming.
But no matter how much I deceive myself, I still can't deceive the facts. Diandian is just so powerful, more powerful than many people.
Although Diandian is very capable, my parents never asked me to learn from him. They said that having one capable person in the family is enough, and I don’t need to be like him. I just need to grow up healthy and happy.
Ever since Diandian followed Uncle Lu Zhien into the laboratory, he has been going to the primary school attached to Uncle Lu Zhien's school.
And wanted to get me in.
I'm not going.
I heard that all the students in that attached primary school are gifted children like Diandian. They are much smarter than ordinary children and can skip one, two or even three grades.
I won't force myself to join in the fun.
Soon they will all become my seniors, but I’m still in the same class. How embarrassing it will be!
I just went to a normal school and attended classes normally. My parents also thought that this was fine for me and did not force me to go to some affiliated primary school.
My dad always says that you should do things within your ability. If you take on too much without the ability, you will end up making a mess.
My mother has the same idea as my father, so I finally chose a normal school.
Among a group of kids with similar IQs to mine, I felt that I was quite smart. At least when I got 100 points, some of them might still be failing or getting single digit scores. I was always ranked either first or second.
In fact, I have never thought about competing with those extremely talented people. My mother said that no matter how you compare, no matter in which field, there will always be people who are more talented.
Just like the Olympic records, they are always being broken.
