Simon lay on the bed and looked through the two skills he had just acquired.
He opened the "programming" column.
In an instant, countless programming-related knowledge flooded his brain like a tide.
His major was related to science and engineering. He did not plan to learn programming seriously, so he had only bought two introductory books of programming.
The system had almost stuffed all knowledge of programing into his brain. Usually, a programming expert may spend a lifetime learning this knowledge.
He had mastered the systematical knowledge of programming.
Knock, knock.
A series of knocks on the door interrupted Simon's train of thought.
"Simon, it's me, Catherine. Are you asleep?" Catherine said in a low voice.
Simon's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up from the bed.
He was just thinking about who was the second target, but now the target had come to find him.
He walked over and opened the door.
Catherine's little round face was red as she grabbed the corner of her clothes sheepishly.
At this moment, seeing Simon's handsome face, Catherine regretted that she was only wearing a stiff black-and-white long-sleeved pajama. Her good figure was completely hidden by the loose clothes.
"If I had known earlier, I would have taken off Delia's silk nightgown and worn it myself!" muttered Catherine inwardly.
She did not leave a good first impression on her younger brother, and her second impression was also ruined!
"Catherine? Do you have something to talk about with me?" Simon blinked his eyes twice, deliberately pulled an innocent face.
Of course, he knew why Catherine would suddenly come looking for him. It was definitely because Lydia had flaunted her newly obtained bra size in front of her.
Not long after joining the Bennett family, Simon could tell that Lydia and Catherine had a better relationship and would definitely share everything with each other.
Catherine took a look at Simon and felt like she was about to stop breathing. She said shyly, "I'm a bit upset because of work, so I want to have a little chat with someone."
"Do you want to talk about NLP?" Simon pointed at the documents in Catherine's arms.
On the cover was written "Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Processing."
Catherine hid the book behind her back.
She was in such a hurry that she forgot to put the documents away.
She smiled awkwardly, "That's not a good topic. Let's talk about something simple."
"Okay, anything you like. Please come in."
Simon invited Catherine into the room.
After getting permission, Catherine nodded with a smile. Only then did she really step in.
[ Ding! Fourth Sister Catherine has entered the host's private territory, punching in successfully! The host has received a reward of 10,000 dollars! ]
The system's voice sounded at the right time.
This reminded Simon of the last time when Catherine came to call him to eat.
The door was clearly open, and Lydia was also in the room, but Catherine just stood at the doorway and knocked, without actually entering the room.
It seemed that the system would only reward money if an unbound relative entered the room.
If Lydia, who was bound to the system, entered the room, she would be able to punch in and Simon would receive the Treasure Box.
Simon gradually understood the rules of the system.
Catherine, who entered the room, was not like Lydia, who did not care about elegance and carelessly sat by the bed. Instead, she sat by the desk like a demure lady.
"Simon, are you happy living here?" Catherine asked.
Simon nodded immediately. "Of course! With all you guys caring for me, how could I not be happy?"
He was such a considerate person. No matter what others asked, he would be able to answer them appropriately.
"I'm glad to hear that..." Catherine was not good at chit-chat and tried to find a topic to talk about. She saw a few introductory programming books on Simon's bookshelf and said happily, "You learned programming?"
Simon said modestly, "I know a little."
People always felt at ease once they found something they were good at.
Catherine became less nervous and said with a smile, "Simon, you don't need to be humble. If you know, then just say you know. If you don't, I can teach you."
Lydia just told her that talking with Simon could make her feel happy, and now she believed Lydia. She did feel better now.
She was in a great mood. She raised her hand and touched her cheek. She was not sure if her skin had improved.
When would her skin return to its original smooth state? She couldn't stay here and chat for an entire night.
Catherine knew that she was not a chatty person.
After a few sentences, there was no more conversation.
Now that she thought about it, she felt she should not have come to disturb Simon in the middle of the night. She got carried away because she thought talking with him could improve her skin smoothness.
Even if she wanted to leave now, she could not find a suitable excuse.
"Catherine, what are you thinking about?" Simon asked her with a smile.
"Oh, I'm just wondering if you're happy living here," Catherine whispered.
"Catherine, you asked this question just now."
"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, I... I mean, if you need anything, just tell me. As your elder sister, I'll definitely think of a way for you. Work, study, anything you need my help, just tell me," Catherine said.
After saying that, she fell silent.
She really could not find a topic to talk about.
She had to repeat the conversation about "sister helps brother."
Simon only smiled and agreed, but Catherine did not answer, so he could not speak on his own.
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything. The atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward.
Catherine was so regretful. She really should not have rushed over.
Her eyes kept glancing at the few programming books on the bookshelf.
Ambivalent thoughts ran amok in her head. She thought, "If I were to talk to him about programming, would he think that I'm a nerd?
"But other than programming, I can't find a common topic.
"If I had known earlier, I would have dragged Lydia along!
"Why did I believe her nonsense at that time!"
Catherine bit her thin lips lightly. Although she was not as well-dressed as the other sisters, she was still a beautiful woman. Even if she sat upright, she was still a pleasing beauty.
In addition, all her emotions were written on her face. She exuded a sense of innocence.
Simon saw that she had bitten her lips until they were red. He could not help but break the silence for her.
"Fourth sister, can I take a look at the documents in your hands?" Simon took the initiative to ask.
"This? You can't understand," Catherine said.
It was not that she looked down on Simon, but only people who had expert knowledge could understand these documents.
The documents that she often read were all academic journals in the field of NRL. There were a lot of special terms, and ordinary people would not be able to understand them at all.
"I'm just curious. If I don't understand, I can still ask you," Simon said with a smile.
It was also a good opportunity to test the system's reward ability.
When she heard that her brother was eager to learn, Catherine did not deliberately hide it. She was very willing to discuss academic issues with others.
Then, she passed the documents to Simon.
Perhaps he would get bored after reading it for a while, Catherine thought to herself silently.
After all, she had been reading these books for several days. She read them in the research room and read them when she went home.
Not only did she not break through the bottleneck, but she was also tired of reading them.
That was why she stayed up all night and made her skin look terrible.
She cupped her chin and looked up to observe Simon.
However, she saw that he was frowning slightly, biting his thumb with his teeth, and was staring at a certain part of the page in deep thought.
His facial features were very handsome. He looked even more charming when he was being serious. Catherine felt that her face was about to burn. She raised her hand and kept fanning herself to cool down.
Suddenly, Simon reached out his slender fingers pointing somewhere in the passage, and said, "Fourth sister, do you think this is wrong?"
