Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1429: Refusing to be Balanced (4)
After meeting Zhou Zhan again that day, Tang Shichu often made appointments with him to go to the library. Zhou Zhan was a top student, and Tang Shichu could ask him anything he didn't understand, and he never refused.
While doing the questions, Tang Shichu thought to himself: I didn't expect Zhou Zhan to be a good person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. After the original owner gradually adapted to university life, she almost cut off contact with him. He was like an ungrateful person who took advantage of others and then kicked them away. But this time when they met again, Zhou Zhan didn't care at all about the original owner's previous estrangement, as if nothing had happened, and continued to be dedicated to him.
Could it be that he liked the original owner? The original owner could be a good friend of the heroine, so she couldn't be ugly. She had to be a pretty lady at least. So even though she was busy studying or working part-time every day and had no time to interact with classmates, she still had a few suitors, although the original owner didn't like them...
So, maybe Zhou Zhan still likes the original owner a little bit? Tang Shichu glanced at Zhou Zhan who was reading a book with his head down, not quite sure.
Zhou Zhan seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head to look at her in confusion, and asked softly: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Tang Shichu shook her head quickly, but looking at his sharp and handsome face, she suddenly blurted out: "Zhou Zhan, I distanced myself from you so obviously before, just like an ungrateful person who destroys his bridges after crossing the river and does not know what is good for him. Now I suddenly come to you, why do you seem to have no grudges against me? I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and you are still trying your best to help me?"
Zhou Zhan glanced at her calmly and said in a calm tone: "It's just a matter of loyalty to someone who entrusted me with the task. The dean asked me to take good care of you."
"Is it just because of the dean's instructions?" Tang Shichu opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, but when he saw his calm eyes and quiet face, he quickly swallowed the words "You really don't like me" back into his stomach.
"Of course, what else could it be?" Zhou Zhan's voice was even. "Before, you chose to distance yourself from me, and I naturally respected your choice. What's there to be angry about? Now you need my help, and it won't delay my work. It's just a piece of cake. I can complete the task entrusted by the dean, so why not do it?"
Tang Shichu was immediately glad that she had reacted quickly and didn't ask him directly if he liked her, otherwise she would be so embarrassed that she would dig her toes into the ground...
"Haha... Senior Zhou, you are such a good person." Tang Shichu praised shyly, "I was petty before, but luckily you are so generous and forgiving. I really thank you for your help when I first entered university and for your help with my postgraduate entrance exam now."
Zhou Zhan nodded indifferently: "Since you're thanking me, then study hard now and stop talking nonsense here."
"I'll learn it right now... I'll learn it right now..." Tang Shichu wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and quickly lowered his head to continue struggling with the sea of questions.
After returning from the library after a day of study, Tang Shichu took a shower and lay on the bed watching videos to relax his brain nerves. He thought of Zhou Zhan's care for him and wondered if he should give him a gift to express his gratitude.
What should she give? She scratched her hair in annoyance. The original owner was an orphan and didn't have much money, so she couldn't give an expensive gift, but a cheap gift wouldn't express her gratitude.
She sighed and finally started searching online for posts about gifts for boys.
After browsing for more than twenty minutes, her eyes were almost blurry, and she finally decided to give him a keyboard set worth more than 2,000 yuan. After all, he would use the computer for a long time, so this set should be useful to him.
So she bought it online and planned to give it to Zhou Zhan in two days.
Two days later, the keyboard set was delivered, and Tang Shichu called Zhou Zhan: "Zhou Zhan, where are you now? Are you free?"
Zhou Zhan's voice sounded a little distant: "I'm outside now, but I plan to come back and return to school in about half an hour."
"Okay, call me when you get there." Tang Shichu hung up after she said that, but she didn't plan to go back to the dormitory, so she found a bench on the campus road, sat down, and started unpacking the package.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the keyboard set, she reassembled it and waited for Zhou Zhan to come back.
But she looked at her cell phone and found that only ten minutes had passed and Zhou Zhan would not be back for another twenty minutes, so she decided to walk to the school gate to wait for him.
After waiting at the school gate for twenty minutes, Tang Shichu indeed saw Zhou Zhan getting out of a car. He was dressed very formally today, with a white shirt on the upper body and black trousers on the lower body. He was holding a briefcase in his right hand, and his black hair was neatly combed back. He looked more like a white-collar elite than a graduate student.
Tang Shichu couldn't help but be dazed when he saw this. Li Manyan said that Cheng Wu was a rare young talent, but in her opinion, Cheng Wu was far inferior to Zhou Zhan. In terms of appearance, Zhou Zhan was tall and had long legs, with a cool and handsome face, much better looking than Cheng Wu who was just ordinary handsome. In terms of brains, Zhou Zhan had never fallen behind third in exams since he was a child. Now he was a graduate student and had already produced some scientific research results with his supervisor. He started to cooperate with outside companies to make money. Didn't he look like he was going to a company?
This kind of man is the best. Tang Shichu could not understand how the original owner could ignore such an excellent man around her.
She stared in fascination as Zhou Zhan stretched out his long legs and walked towards her with his own radiance: "Zhou Zhan!" She waved at him excitedly.
Zhou Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he soon saw her. He quickly smiled faintly and quickened his pace.
Tang Shichu was about to walk towards him when he suddenly heard a panicked scream: "Go away!"
She felt a chill on her back, and had a premonition of extreme danger. She turned her head sharply in the direction of the scream, and was shocked to find an off-road vehicle rushing towards Zhou Zhan at high speed! There was no sign of braking at all!
Was this intentional to bump into Zhou Zhan?
Tang Shichu didn't have time to think about it. She threw the keyboard set in her hand aside and rushed towards Zhou Zhan at lightning speed, even using her maximum running speed in this world.
Finally, at the moment before the SUV hit Zhou Zhan, Tang Shichu grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the car's path.
Ear-piercing screams rang out all around. It was just after five in the afternoon, and many people were coming and going at the school gate. They all saw this thrilling scene and were terrified. Some of those who reacted quickly began to wake up from their stupor. Some patted their chests, some called the police, and some called the security guards...
