Chapter 229 The Fourth One is Here

"Just think of me as being like you, not particular at all. I always admire people with noble moral character. If others can do what I can't do, then they deserve my praise." Young Master Chen sounded quite serious.

"Oh, I really didn't know that our Third Young Master Chen possesses such excellent qualities." Zou Lianxun still had a tone that sounded like he deserved a beating.

"After three days of absence, you should be able to see us with new eyes." Qian Bowen was also very surprised. "But, isn't Mr. Chen busy recently? How come he still has time to come here and talk to us?"

"I don't have time to deal with you. I'm just passing by here, huh." After saying this, the man turned around and left.

Shi Feiye was puzzled, so, what on earth was this Young Master Chen doing here?

Perhaps seeing Shi Feiye's curiosity, Qian Bowen explained to Shi Feiye:

"This is the most speechless third child of the Chen family. He is a little stupid because his parents were not around since he was a child. But Mr. Chen loves him the most. Everyone is reluctant to embarrass him because of his hard work for the country. So, sister-in-law, when you see him in the future, just treat him as a playboy. After all, he probably won't mess with you if he knows your identity."

"Why does he seem to like going against you?"

"Hey, this guy has always wanted to play with the eldest and second brothers, but the eldest and second brothers have a good relationship with us and don't want to pay attention to him. He was unhappy and always came to us to make trouble during his middle school years. Later, he was punished by the second brother and became obedient."

“That’s how it was.”

"Don't bother with him." Qin Buyu pressed down his cell phone and said this.

"He said big brother——" Zou Lianxun frowned, "I didn't hear what big brother said?"

"If big brother needed anything, he would have spoken up long ago. Do you still expect that guy to understand big brother's plan? Xiaoliu, you should play less games in the future. Your brain isn't working well anymore." Qian Bowen shook his head and sighed.

"When has Xiaoliu's brain ever worked properly?" A familiar voice suddenly appeared, and the person who came was Sun Quanzhang.

"Hey, I was wondering why Chen Laosan walked so fast. It turns out that it was like a mouse meeting a cat. Fourth brother, you came very late." Qian Bo Wen was surprised.

However, everyone soon noticed that Sun Quanzhang's face was not looking good, and Zou Lianxun didn't even care about being criticized:

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"It's okay. What are you doing, playing cards?" Sun Quanzhang waved his hand and pulled a chair from the side and sat next to Qin Buju.

"Yes, today I found out that our second sister-in-law is an expert at cheating. Let's learn from her." Qian Bowen winked at Zou Lianxun, who immediately tried to demonstrate to Sun Quanzhang.

Before the demonstration was complete, Sun Quanzhang was distracted, and Qin Buzhu suddenly said:

"Are you hurt?"

"No." Sun Quanzhang blurted out without thinking.

Shi Feiye turned his head deliberately to take a look and found that Sun Quanzhang's movement of raising his arm to fix his hair was indeed a little slow, as if his arm had been twisted.

Qin Buzhu didn't say anything. Zou Lianxun was about to continue asking, but Qian Bowen bumped his arm and the words got stuck in his throat.

Everyone had to pretend nothing happened and continued playing cards, but Sun Quanzhang was noticeably quieter than his usual liveliness.

Sun Quanzhang actually wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't. How could he laugh when he thought of Zhang Kezhi?

After a while, he fell into memories again:

After Zhang Kezhi moved in, he was almost like an invisible man. One night when he went back, Sun Quanzhang felt extremely tired and kept muttering to himself that he had to go to the gym more often, otherwise his physical fitness would not be able to keep up.

"Ah Zhang is back?" The lights in the living room were on, and Mrs. Wang stopped embroidering her cross stitch. "Are you hungry?"

Sun Quanzhang changed his shoes, walked to the refrigerator with a space dance step, took out a bottle of water, screwed the cap, tossed his hair and posed:

"I'm not hungry. I just finished dinner."

"Where can I find people dancing square dance in your community? I've been looking for it for more than half an hour and I can't find any." Mrs. Wang forgot to ask before, and later she walked around downstairs for a long time but couldn't see any.

"I don't think they allow square dancing in this neighborhood. I haven't paid attention to it. Why don't you go to the neighborhood next door? I remember hearing square dance songs over there." Sun Quanzhang sipped his water, walked to sit next to Wang Sao, and leaned over to look at the cross-stitch she was embroidering. After flipping through it, he pointed at the embroidery with his orchid finger and said proudly, "This is a peony!"

"Smart!" Mrs. Wang gave him a look that said 'you're awesome'.

Sun Quanzhang gave a thumbs up and said with admiration: "As expected of Comrade Wang Meili, she is really amazing."

"That's right." Mrs. Wang raised her head proudly.

"That person hasn't made any movement today?" Sun Quanzhang nodded in the direction of Zhang Kezhi's bedroom and lowered his voice.

"No, I just eat and study. But Xiao Ke is very nice. She knew I don't know how to shop online, so she bought me a hot water bottle." Mrs. Wang lowered her voice.

Then he suddenly leaned close to Sun Quanzhang's ear mysteriously and said, "You pay so much attention to me, are you in love with me?"

Sun Quanzhang rolled his eyes and said, "You know I don't want to get married at all."

"I also thought it was the old man's idea at first, but unfortunately it wasn't." Mrs. Wang sat up straight and shrugged, "Xiao Ke is really just staying here temporarily, don't think too much about it."

"That's good. I feel relieved then." Mrs. Wang's information should be accurate.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him, and Sun Quanzhang smiled ingratiatingly:

"Please worry about me during this period. I am a grown man, and it is not good for me to get involved with a young girl too much."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and sighed: "Xiao Ke is so pretty, has a good temperament, and is ambitious. What a great opportunity. I don't understand the preferences of you young people nowadays~"

"Maybe my true love is still waiting for me far away." Sun Quanzhang leaned back in the sofa, feeling melancholy.

In the days that followed, Sun Quanzhang continued to live his life of going to work at irregular times and returning home early occasionally. One day, he realized that he didn't have many opportunities to meet Zhang Kezhi. Except for eating, he hardly saw him at other times. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't curious, but there were not many intersections in their lives, and the things he imagined asking for help from him didn't happen, so he had to continue to live in peace with him.

Until one day, when Sun Quanzhang went to the kitchen in the morning, he didn't see Mrs. Wang, but saw Zhang Kezhi cooking instead.

"Hey, why is it you, where is Wang's wife?"

"Mrs. Wang had something to do at home, so she went out early this morning. She told me that she will be on leave for the next few days." Zhang Kezhi picked up a spatula and turned the potatoes in the wok without turning his head. "I saw the potatoes on the rack, so I fried them."

Sun Quanzhang didn't react: "She's gone, why are you cooking?"

Zhang Kezhi turned his head this time, and Sun Quanzhang met a pair of clear eyes. The black and white in the eyes were very clear. He saw the emotion of "strange" in these eyes. Sure enough, the next moment he heard the person in front of him say:

"If I don't cook, how are we going to eat?"

Before he could say anything, the other party's tone became hesitant: "So, do you want to do it?"

Sun Quanzhang was silent for a moment, not wanting to admit that he had just been stupid, and said dryly:

“I can’t cook.”

"Oh." The voice was flat and emotionless, and the person in front of him turned around and continued to cook.

Sun Quanzhang opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't find a topic for a moment. He had never dealt with a girl like Zhang Kezhi, and he didn't know what the other party cared about.

Wait, ask about the postgraduate entrance examination!

Sun Quanzhang successfully found a topic and was about to speak——

"Go and sit down. If you're hungry, there are snacks made by Mrs. Wang in the refrigerator." Zhang Ke kindly reminded him while watching him standing.

Okay, the chat was interrupted.

Sun Quanzhang also felt a little awkward standing in the kitchen, so he strolled out and went to the living room to watch the morning news.

After a while, Zhang Kezhi called him, "It's time to eat."

The breakfast was quite rich, with vinegar-fried potato shreds, three-shredded vegetables, fried mushrooms, bean curd cakes, and eight-treasure porridge.

Sun Quanzhang scooped up a spoonful of eight-treasure porridge and put it in his mouth. Hmm, it was sweet and soft. He picked up some shredded potatoes and put them in his mouth. It was moderately salty with a hint of sourness, and it could also be rated eight points. It was hard to judge the quality of the fried mushrooms, but the bean curd cake was quite fragrant.

"You're a good cook." Sun Quanzhang thought the food was just barely edible.

"Not bad." Zhang Kezhi responded, without saying much as usual.

After eating someone else's food, Sun Quanzhang felt embarrassed to be cold, and thought of the topic he had not used just now, so he made conversation:

"You want to apply to C University, which major do you want to choose?"

“Department of Chinese.”

"The Chinese Department is great!" Sun Quanzhang suddenly slammed the table. Zhang Kezhi was startled by him. His hand holding the spoon trembled and he looked at him with a frown.

It was the first time that Sun Quanzhang saw Zhang Kezhi with a different expression. He inexplicably felt a sense of joy at having successfully sabotaged something. It was like when he did something bad as a child and was not caught, and in the end the victim had to blame himself for his bad luck.

"Ahem!" Sun Quanzhang cleared his throat and said seriously, "The Chinese department is good. People in the Chinese department are well-educated and it's easy to find a job after graduation. The Chinese department at C University is considered popular, and the degree you get is also very prestigious. By the way, Xiaoke, which instructor are you going to apply for?"

"Professor Zhang Ya." There was nothing hidden from him, so Zhang Kezhi gave his name.

"That mentor, tsk tsk tsk!" Sun Quanzhang curled his lips and shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Kezhi asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Buddha said, it cannot be said. It cannot be said." Sun Quanzhang pretended to be mysterious.

"Since you can't say it, forget it." Zhang Kezhi was understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Sun Quanzhang choked immediately. Why didn't this girl follow the routine?

"I'm done."

Sun Quanzhang leaned over and saw that the bowl opposite him was empty. No, it had only been a few minutes. "Are you in a hurry?"

"I have something to do today, so I have to go out for a while. Just put the dishes in the sink after you finish eating, and I'll come back to wash them." Zhang Kezhi took his own dishes and went to the kitchen without saying another word.
