On the way to school, Gu Nianchen's bicycle chain fell off while he was riding.

"It's okay if you hold on a little longer. I'm really impressed. I'll be late soon." Gu Nianchen squatted down and tried to reinstall it.

However, because the bicycle is very old and the chain is loose, it needs tools to tighten it before it can be ridden again.

Helpless because he had no tools at hand, Gu Nianchen sighed and could only push the bicycle to school.

"Xiaochen! Why don't you ride your bike? You'll be late." A voice came from behind.

Gu Nianchen looked back and saw Lu Ye from the basketball team driving by.

"Brother Lu, good morning. My car broke down, but it's okay, there's still time." Gu Nianchen grinned.

"What's the point of being in time? Can your car be folded? You can put it in my trunk, then get in and I'll take you there." Lu Ye pulled the car over.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!" Gu Nianchen was not polite. If he walked there, he would probably be late.

He folded the bicycle and put it in the trunk, then got in the car. As soon as he got in, he saw Bai Luoyu "flying" over in his sports car.

"Does he still bully you?" Lu Ye asked Gu Nianchen.

"They didn't bully me, there was just some misunderstanding at the beginning, hehe!" Gu Nianchen was not speaking for Bai Luoyu, but it was Bai Luoyu's followers who caused trouble before.

Sometimes I would "accidentally" bump into him while walking, or tickle him from behind.

Bai Luoyu himself didn't do anything else, except that he didn't want to sit with him. Now he has become his financial sponsor.

"That's good. If he bullies you, just tell us. Others are afraid of him, but no one in our team is afraid of him." Lu Ye said domineeringly.

"Yeah, okay, Lu."

After a month of training, Gu Nianchen had some understanding of the players on the basketball team. They all came from powerful families.

Lu Ye's father is a military man, Liang Jing's family is in the mining business, and Li Wen's father is also a politician.

But they didn't have Bai Luoyu's arrogance, at least not towards Gu Nianchen.

They all took good care of Gu Nianchen, taking turns taking him out to dinner and giving him some practical things.

He was not allowed to feel like he was being given charity, which touched Gu Nianchen very much.

"Brother Lu, I'm back to class. See you in the afternoon!" Gu Nianchen put the bicycle in the corner of the parking lot and waited until he had time to repair it in the evening.

"Okay, see you in the afternoon." Lu Ye looked at Gu Nianchen who was trotting away, shook his head and smiled. He was so cute!

When I walked into the classroom, I saw Bai Luoyu had already arrived.

"What's wrong with your bike?" When Bai Luoyu was driving by, he saw Gu Nianchen got on Lu Ye's bike, and he immediately thought that the bike that made a rattling noise when he rode it was broken.

"It's broken and can't be fixed without tools. Fortunately, my senior came by." Gu Nianchen sat down with a smile, not embarrassed at all.

"Well, senior is really nice. He uses a car worth more than one million yuan to pull your bicycle for you." Bai Luoyu took Gu Nianchen's homework book and looked at it, and did his own homework casually.

"Is that car of yours so expensive? Fortunately I didn't damage it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if I were sold." Gu Nianchen patted his chest. How could a child from a poor family know what luxury cars were?

Bai Luoyu tilted his head, glanced at Gu Nianchen, and said, "You're popular, aren't you? Those guys on the basketball team are notoriously difficult to deal with. It's very hard to get into their circle!"

"No, the seniors are all very good. Maybe it's because I have strength and they are all impressed by me." Gu Nianchen laughed after he said this. He originally thought that he played really well.

But compared with them, he was still too immature. Not to mention the skills, he was completely out of form in physical confrontation and was sent flying in an instant.

Bai Luoyu was too lazy to continue talking to him, what a foolish boy who knew nothing.

At lunch time, Gu Nianchen took out the lunch box from his backpack and prepared to eat.

Bai Luoyu took a look and said casually: "You earn a lot now, why are you still eating this?"

"It's hard to say whether I can get the scholarship. I need to save more money to pay for tuition." Gu Nianchen curled his lips and looked at Bai Luoyu.

That expression of distrust deeply irritated Bai Luoyu.

"You don't trust me that much?"

"You only got two questions right but you're still confused. How can I trust you?" Gu Nianchen shrugged and walked out of the classroom.

"Look down on me? Huh? Look down on me! Damn it!" Bai Luoyu was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"Mr. Bai, what's wrong? You're so angry!"

"Did he provoke you? Even though Kangbei and the others are following him, you can just do some sneaky tricks so that they won't notice. All it takes is a word from you!" the skinny guy said indignantly.

The boy with glasses and the fat boy also nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense, you're acting like a gang of bad guys. Let's go eat!" Bai Luoyu frowned and walked out.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Bai Luoyu eating with the basketball team. The seniors kept passing the delicious food from their bowls to Gu Nianchen.

I glared at him and found a seat to eat.

Bai Luoyu also found it strange. Only one month after the start of school, the four of them went from being the hottest freshmen to almost being an isolated group of four.

On the contrary, Gu Nianchen, who went from being a part-time student who was looked down upon in the beginning, became the object of everyone's pursuit!

This made Bai Luoyu feel a little disappointed. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been overshadowed by his peers.

-------------------------------------

When Bai Luoyu finished the swimming club training and went to the parking lot to pick up the car, he saw Gu Nianchen, Gang Bei and the others there.

"Xiaochen, stop repairing. My home is not far from yours. You can come with me starting tomorrow!" Li Wen said, putting his arm around Gu Nianchen's shoulders.

"Come on, it's still ten minutes' drive from your house to his. Xiaochen, why don't you move into my apartment? I don't live there often." Kangbei also said.

"My apartment is empty too!"

“…”

Gu Nianchen was surrounded by the members of the basketball team. Everyone was talking to each other and Gu Nianchen didn't have a chance to interrupt.

"Get in my car, it's almost time!" Bai Luoyu walked over and said behind everyone.

Bai Luoyu felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw a group of people "fighting" for Gu Nianchen.

"Bai Luoyu, have you finished training too? My car hasn't been repaired yet. You go first, I'll fix it soon." Gu Nianchen stood up and glanced at the time. It was almost six o'clock. It seemed that he would be late today.

"What's wrong with Xiaochen?" Cangbei asked puzzledly.

"Brother Bei, I am in the same study group with Bai Luoyu now, so I help him with his studies. He pays me tuition fees, which is higher than my salary in the restaurant." Gu Nianchen said generously.

"Oh~ This money is not easy to earn. Why don't you tutor my younger brother? I will pay double what Young Master Bai pays." Li Wen smiled faintly and glanced at Bai Luoyu.

In fact, Li Wen would not usually be so disrespectful to others, but they have always been brooding over the fact that Bai Luoyu bullied Gu Nianchen, so their words were obviously provocative.
