Chapter 20

However, apart from the affectionate performance in the eyes of the four melon-eating group, the relationship between the three of them was still normal brotherhood in the eyes of others.

Even if Ye Wangxing rushed over and hugged Yan Yi, they didn't think there was anything wrong.

——If their friends can improve their grades by ten places, not only will they hug and scream, but it is possible that they will kneel down and call them daddy.

So most of the students gave friendly applause.

Except for Zhou Mu, this guy has been in such a gloomy state since he came back from the National Day holiday, but the classmates didn't care much. No one had recovered from the National Day holiday yet, and the monthly exam was coming. What thing is not more important than caring about a classmate who you hardly talked to?

Now there is the matter of the parent-teacher meeting, and many classmates are begging Director Li to show mercy. No one pays attention to Zhou Mu anymore, and not many people even remember the scandal between him and Su Qing.

This scene also made Zhou Mu's eyes even gloomier.

but……

No one cares.

It’s not even as important as what Director Li thinks.

Only Zhou Mu himself cares.

Zhou Mu's situation has hit rock bottom since the sports meet.

First, after the sports meet, his uncle kicked him in the butt and sent him home. If his aunt had not been soft-hearted and stopped his uncle, given his uncle's fever that day, he would have at least suffered a broken bone.

It was not easy to recover from his injury and go to school. He was about to face the mocking or awe-inspiring looks from his classmates.

However, except for his younger brothers, the rest of the classmates seemed to have not remembered what earth-shattering things he had done during the sports meet, and the way they looked at him was no different from before.

Even when he mentioned the broadcast casually, he had no impression of it.

This huge psychological gap made Zhou Mu's mood immediately feel unwell, and he even forgot to contact Su Qing.

I really wanted to go up and ask those classmates why they didn’t remember the broadcast, but I didn’t dare to go up and ask, for fear that I would ask them answers that they couldn’t accept.

He sat in his seat all day, struggling, and when he finally got through the period before the holiday, he finally welcomed the National Day. But before he could go to the Internet cafe with his brothers, he saw a milk tea shop opened downstairs from his house.

Not only is the decoration style of this milk tea shop similar to Ye Wangxing's, but the prices of the various milk teas and ice creams inside are also cheap.

But Zhou Mu didn't care at that time. Instead, he used his limited pocket money to treat his younger brothers to a meal.

——A few days later, he saw Ye Wangxing appear in the milk tea shop as a small boss when it opened.

It is difficult to describe Zhou Mu’s mood at that time.

There is jealousy, inferiority, envy, and devaluation...

These mixed emotions gathered in Zhou Mu's heart and turned into a mess.

However, Zhou Mu did not have the same good mentality as others. He drank the whole pot of porridge directly, but let it ferment in his heart.

Even the end of the National Day holiday and the start of the monthly exam did not bring him back to his senses.

It wasn't until the miserable and dismal report card, which looked like the performance of A-shares, fell into his hands that he came to his senses.

Zhou Mu finally managed to get out of his emotions, but then the third blow came.

Su Qing wants to break up with him.

Zhou Mu was the last one to know.

"Boss, don't you know? The sports meet hasn't even ended yet, but Su Qing told his friends that he was definitely breaking up with you. We originally wanted to inform you at that time..."

I feel a little embarrassed when talking about this. After all, there was the National Day holiday and the monthly exam, and they had long forgotten about this matter.

It was only when Zhao Xia Xia and the others mentioned this matter today that they remembered to tell their boss.

Zhou Mu's expression became increasingly gloomy, completely losing the high spirits he had when he invited Su Qing to skip class.

He didn't understand why Su Qing wanted to break up with him. What right did he have to break up with her? Su Qing was just a school beauty.

Didn't he just not contact her during the entire National Day holiday? He even confessed his feelings to her before, so how did it come to the point of breaking up?

Looking at the breakup message on Xiao Tiancai's phone watch, Zhou Mu felt that he was Qin Xianglian, and Su Qing was Chen Shimei.

——It’s not that there is no more appropriate description, it’s mainly because Zhou Mu couldn’t think of it.

This message was sent to his account last night, but he didn't reply. At that time, he was playing games with his friends in an Internet cafe. When he saw this message, he thought Su Qing was in a bad mood.

Until this morning when the monthly exam report cards were distributed, Su Qing didn't even look at him from beginning to end, and even talked and laughed with others. Only then did he realize that Su Qing seemed to be serious.

After finally making it to the break, he didn't care about his manliness anymore. He walked up to Su Qing, knocked on her desk, and said, imitating the image of a domineering CEO on TV.

"Su Qing, come out, let's talk."

The short-haired girl sitting on the seat looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, and finally walked out with him.

But when they stood still, the first thing she said was.

"Zhou Mu, I'm serious about breaking up."

"...I used to think you were my salvation, you were my little prince, and I was your rose, but I later found out I was wrong."

The short-haired girl stood in the corridor and spoke calmly.

Zhou Mu looked as if he was meeting him for the first time, with a strange look in his eyes.

The girl with short hair really deserves the title of school belle, with fair skin, big eyes and a high nose bridge. However, this girl who was in Zhou Mu's arms half a month ago, now said heartbreaking words that broke Zhou Mu's heart.

"You are not my little prince, and I am not your rose. You are not even a fox. You will not protect me. You just think I am suitable to be pinned on your brooch and show off."

"I finally realized this when you confessed your love to the whole school with your free words of encouragement for the athletes."

The short-haired girl pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Mu with a soft and sad look in her eyes.

"Zhou Mu, this is not like the you I just met."

"I don't know if it's your true nature being revealed, or if you've unknowingly become someone I don't recognize, but I know this is the only way we can go."

Su Qing whispered again: "Zhou Mu, let's break up."

Zhou Mu did not reply immediately. He was silent for a long time before he finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"So, you are determined to break up?"

Su Qing nodded, and looking at Zhou Mu's expression, she finally softened her heart.

"It's not a fault of ours, it's just that our personalities don't match, and I need to put more energy into studying for the college entrance exam."

"When we both get into good schools, we'll be exposed to more people and things, and perhaps we'll become more mature. Meeting again by chance then might be the best arrangement."

After Su Qing finished speaking, he turned and left.

——She gave her first love the most decent farewell.

Zhou Mu fell silent again. His younger brothers came up to him and spoke hesitantly after seeing Su Qing leave.

"Boss, are you guys completely broken up? Is it because of that broadcast?"

I actually had a premonition. When the announcement came out, I felt that Su Qing might make a scene.

Although those lively young girls and boys would like this way of confession, the key point is that Su Qing doesn't like it.

In fact, I also feel that if I have any self-respect, I will not accept such a confession.

But what I didn't expect was that Zhou Mu shook his head and said gloomily.

"No, it's definitely not because of that broadcast, but because Su Qing has fallen in love with someone else!"

The younger brother immediately became alert, which made him wonder how his boss found out that it was Zhou Mu who said angrily.

"Didn't she hear what she just said about the prince fox? She's definitely infatuated with someone else. Only someone else would use Disney characters as metaphors! Who is it? Could it be Ye Wangxing?"

Zhou Mu was feeling indignant, and the expression on his younger brother's face suddenly fell.

——Boss, you should read some books. They are obviously using metaphors!

Just when Zhou Mu felt that Su Qing had fallen in love with someone else, Su Qing suffered a major blow when he returned to the classroom.

"Hey, our Miss Rose is back~"

Looking at Zhao Xia Xia's smug expression and Jiang Yue laughing beside her, Su Qing slowly covered her face.

Help, my toes are about to hit the ground!
