If you don't study well and have poor interpersonal relationships, you are likely to become the target of bullying at school.

Shen Zuren is a little fat. The fat on his face has disappeared a lot due to puberty, but his belly, which looks like a pot on his back, has never been seen.

He was fat, but his fat was uneven and not cute, so his "appearance" flaws made his situation at No. 3 Middle School even worse.

After Shen Pan and Lu Zhishu returned to Yu'an, the first thing they did was to pick up Shen Zhu.

Because Shen Zhu was taking extra classes in high school, he didn't have a holiday during this period. Moreover, Shen Zhu lived on campus and could only go home on weekends.

Yu'an is a city in a neighboring province, a bit far from Dongjiang. Lu Zhishu thought it would be convenient to have a car, so he and Shen Pan drove there.

At the gate of No. 3 Middle School, Shen Pan received a call from Shen Zhu, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Shen Zhu is as tall as Shen Pan, but his body size is twice that of Shen Pan.

Shen Zhuren hadn’t come over yet and was crossing the road.

Lu Zhishu looked at the newcomer, a little surprised, and said to Shen Pan half-jokingly: "You and your brother are a bit similar."

"Really?" Shen Pan himself had never noticed it.

She knew from a young age that she was adopted, and she also knew that she was the only one in the family who had no blood relationship with anyone else. Naturally, Shen Pan would not carefully observe whether she had any similarities with them.

How can they look alike if they are not related?

The answer is a no-brainer.

Lu Zhishu said, "Maybe we've been living together for so long that we naturally look alike. After all, there's a saying that goes 'husband and wife look alike.' I wonder if we look alike in other people's eyes."

Chen Pan understood Lu Zhishu's teasing and nudged him lightly with his elbow.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Zhuchuan crossed the road and came in front of them.

"Sister, why are you back?" Shen Zhu was a little excited.

"I came back to see you and your parents." Chen Pan glanced at Lu Zhishu beside him and introduced him, "This is my boyfriend, his name is Lu Zhishu."

The joy on Shen Zhu's face froze instantly.

Lu Zhishu extended his hand and greeted friendly: "Hello, I'm Lu Zhishu."

Shen Zhuren was still in a daze. He glanced at the hand that Lu Zhishu extended to him, not knowing how to react for a moment.

As a high school student, he found it difficult to adapt to this way of greeting between adults.

Lu Zhishu smiled and gestured with his hands, as if encouraging Shen Zhu to try boldly.

Shen Zhu then shook hands with Lu Zhishu carefully. He didn't know how long to hold the hand, so he just held it lightly, and when Lu Zhishu let go, he withdrew his hand.

"Shall we go home directly now?" Lu Zhishu asked Chen Pan.

"Let's go see Xiaozhu," Shen Pan asked Shen Zhu, "It's still early, do you want to go somewhere, or we can go have a meal before going home."

Shen Zhu shook his head, looking at Lu Zhishu with a wary look.

"Let's eat first," Chen Pan said, "There's a pretty good fusion restaurant nearby that serves Sichuan cuisine and Yu'an local flavors. It has a good reputation online."

The three of them went together to the restaurant that Shen Pan mentioned.

As luck would have it, when ordering food, I happened to meet Shen Zhu's classmate.

It was Shen Pan who noticed it first. He discovered that a student was wearing the same school uniform as Shen Zhu and reminded Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu glanced at the direction Shen Pan pointed, and immediately looked away, "I don't know him."

However, Shen Zhu's school uniform was also eye-catching, and the other party quickly discovered Shen Zhu.

"Hey, Shen Zhu!" The student, who was several tables away from them, spoke loudly, with a frivolous and provocative tone, "Doesn't your family run a restaurant? Why are you eating here? Is your dad a chef here?"

Shen Zhu looked at the people around him. Everyone was looking at him strangely. He couldn't hold it in any longer and retorted, "What's it to you?"

The man chuckled and said, "Waiter, take your order."

He raised his hand to call the waiter and said, "How about I try Shen Zhu's father's cooking?"

The voice was so loud and deliberate that Shen Zhu couldn't help but hear it.

Shen Zhunian thought that there were so many people outside, and he didn't dare to cause trouble even though he was used to being bullied.

He has always been patient and has kept the peace.

But as an elder sister, Shen Pan couldn't help it.

"How old are you, and you've already learned to speak in such a sarcastic way?" She pretended to stand up and argue with him.

Lu Zhishu grabbed her.

Chen Pan looked at Lu Zhishu in confusion. Lu Zhishu pressed her shoulders and pressed her down on the seat.

He turned to look at Shen Zhu, his gentle face suddenly became serious, "You, go over and slap him."

Shen Zhu was confused.

Chen Pan was also puzzled, "No, you, don't teach my brother bad things."

Lu Zhishu ignored Shen Pan and continued to pressure Shen Zhu, "Go! If you don't go, I'll slap you."

Shen Zhu was even more confused.

Lu Zhishu stretched out his legs and kicked Shen Zhu under the table, "It's a waste of such a strong body, are you a man?"

Shen Zhu finally realized that Lu Zhishu was serious.

"Why would I hit someone? It's wrong to hit someone," Shen Zhu said.

Lu Zhishu was so disappointed that he said, "It's wrong for you to hit someone, but it's right for him to say that about your dad?"

Shen Zhu was speechless for a moment.

"Disparagement hurts more than a punch to the face. Can't you feel it?"

Shen Zhu lowered his head.

"Coward," Lu Zhishu said, "young man, your parents raised you in vain. You're not as good as your sister. Your sister still knows how to argue with others."

Shen Zhu continued to bury his head, his fingers tangled together, his face annoyed. He was probably scolded by Lu Zhishu and was in a bad mood, but he couldn't get angry.

"He is the troublemaker in our school. If I beat him up, they will definitely bully me even more in the future," Shen Zhu said angrily.

"Just do it, I'll take care of it later."

Shen Zhu looked surprised again.

Even Shen Pan, who was standing by, was surprised. "Lu Zhishu, don't mess around."

"What do you mean I'm messing around? Do you want to see your brother being bullied all the time? He's only in his second year of high school, right? He still has a year until graduation, and it's the most important year. Do you want to see him living such a miserable life and then failing the college entrance exam?"

Shen Pan was speechless.

Shen Zhu and she have a good relationship. His parents have been happy to give good things to Shen Zhu since he was a child, but Shen Zhu would often share them with Shen Pan. Although Shen Pan hated Shen Zhu when he was just born, the relationship between the two siblings was pretty good after getting along with each other, and Shen Pan no longer hated Shen Zhu.

Lu Zhishu's books are very realistic and practical.

Shen Pan also didn't want Shen Zhu to continue being bullied like this, but they were just ordinary people. They had nothing, so they would naturally endure the grievances.

Because if they make a fuss, they can't afford the consequences.

"Lu Zhishu, we grew up in different environments. Your family is wealthy and powerful, so you must have never been bullied. Our family..."

"Who said that?"

Lu Zhishu interrupted Shen Pan directly.

Seeing Chen Pan's puzzled expression, Lu Zhishu said, "Who says people from well-off families haven't been bullied? Those who want to bully you just want to bully you, without any reason, and regardless of who you are. Do you think these students would consider that?"
