After finding her seat, Su Jiajia looked around, trying to spot Zhou Chen on the field.
Last night, she was surprised to learn that Zhou Chen had won two first places. She took the day off today to watch the competition and see if Zhou Chen was really as good as Sun Wanying said.
If Zhou Chen doesn't achieve a good ranking this time, or doesn't even place, she will tell Sun Wanying immediately, letting Sun Wanying know that Zhou Chen isn't that outstanding, and that she was just lucky and performed exceptionally well before.
This would lower Zhou Chen's positive impression on Sun Wanying.
Sun Wanying seemed to have a special relationship with Zhou Chen, unlike ordinary friends. In fact, she even suspected that the reason Sun Wanying took a month-long vacation and returned to Fanjia County instead of going on vacation might be because Zhou Chen was in Fanjia County.
Although the probability of this is very, very low, it doesn't mean it's impossible.
Su Jiajia harbors a secret desire to bring Sun Wanying and her brother together, but due to various reasons, she has been unable to arrange for the two to meet. The appearance of Zhou Chen makes her worry for her brother, feeling that Zhou Chen will be a formidable rival in love.
The more outstanding Zhou Chen is, the more inferior and overshadowed his own brother appears.
So she came, hoping to find evidence that Zhou Chen wasn't as outstanding as he seemed, and to lower Sun Wanying's opinion of him.
I see you!
Before long, Sun Wanying's gaze locked onto a figure on the field, and a smug smile appeared on her lips beneath her mask.
She was fully disguised today, so Zhou Chen had no chance of spotting her. It would be very embarrassing if Zhou Chen found out she was here to watch the game.
This would lead Zhou Chen to mistakenly believe that she came for him.
Su Jiajia didn't want this to happen.
On the other end,
In a restaurant, Zhou Ling and her former classmates, including Sun Tingting, were sitting around a table.
"Zhou Ling, I envy you so much. You don't have to go to school and you can sleep until you naturally wake up every day."
"It's not just about sleeping until you naturally wake up; the key is that you can watch TV whenever you want, all kinds of variety shows, and watch them as long as you want. Unlike us, we're lucky if we're allowed to watch TV twice a week, and most of our time is spent studying."
"Besides, studying doesn't necessarily mean you'll succeed. Zhou Ling is her own boss now, and her boyfriend is so successful. When we graduate from university, we probably won't be as successful as Zhou Ling. It makes me not want to study anymore."
Hearing the envious sighs of her female classmates, Zhou Ling felt incredibly proud. Ever since Zhao Kun started hanging out with Brother Hu and they started hiring people to run their stalls, the news had reached her former classmates and they had received no shortage of envious responses.
A few days ago, I was envied by people more than once while we were having dinner. Now, with everyone gathered together, people are envious of her current life.
The reactions of her former classmates convinced Zhou Ling that her decision to drop out was absolutely right; even without school, she could still live a life that everyone envied.
Now, she has achieved her goal. All her former classmates hope to live the same life as her. As for the apology she made in front of the entire school, no one has mentioned it. They treat the unpleasantness they felt towards Zhou Ling as if it never happened. This makes Zhou Ling very satisfied.
"The reason I am so happy is because I found a good man."
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg of my happy life. You probably don't know how good Brother Kun is to me. If I want to eat something delicious at night, no matter how late it is, Brother Kun will go out and buy it for me. He also often gives me a little surprise, like a beautiful bouquet of flowers..."
To make her former classmates even more envious, Zhou Ling deliberately told some fabricated stories. Unsurprisingly, these words once again aroused a lot of envy among the group.
"That's so wonderful! I wish I could find a boyfriend that good right now."
"Zhou Ling, you have excellent taste."
"Men who dote on their girlfriends like this are rare. If we meet one, we should seize the opportunity like you do. So what if we don't go to school? True love is the most important thing, and it can overcome all difficulties."
"Yes, it's a pity we don't have Zhou Ling's good luck."
This once again drew a wave of envy, and Zhou Ling felt a great sense of vanity and satisfaction.
"Actually, my life isn't that great right now, but you guys will definitely be no worse off than me in the future."
Zhou Ling smiled modestly.
As for the last sentence, it was purely out of politeness. In her heart, she certainly didn't want others to be better off than her; otherwise, how could she continue to be envied?
Everyone present shook their heads, expressing their confusion about the future. Even after entering university, they didn't know what university would be like or whether they could find a good job after graduation.
When the topic turned to whether or not she could go to university, and where she could go, Zhou Ling found herself unable to join the conversation, since she had already dropped out of school.
This won't do.
She immediately interrupted the discussion on this issue and steered the conversation toward Zhou Chen, wanting to know about Zhou Chen's situation at school. This was the main reason she had gathered everyone together: to monitor all of Zhou Chen's actions at No. 1 High School.
"Zhou Chen represented Fengcheng yesterday and went to Fengcheng with the school team to prepare for the competition. It is said that this time they will be competing against sports students from five cities. If they can get a good ranking, they may be able to join the national team in the future."
"Do you think he can get a good ranking this time? If he makes it into the national team, he'll be amazing. He can become a professional athlete and bring glory to the country in the future."
"I think it will be very difficult. Zhou Chen's previous opponents were all from Fengcheng City. Now there are sports students from four cities competing together. The intensity is far greater than before. Anyone who comes to participate is the best of the best."
Zhou Ling's eyes flickered. Had Zhou Chen gone to participate in another competition?
If he performs well, is there a chance he could make it into the national team?
This is not good news for Zhou Ling.
Fortunately, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard people talking about how there were some very talented athletes among the participants, and that Zhou Chen might not be able to achieve good results.
She didn't want Zhou Chen to get better; on the contrary, the worse Zhou Chen's situation, the better.
Previously, she had been repeatedly humiliated and embarrassed by Zhou Chen, and she hated him to death.
If the curse were effective, she would curse Zhou Chen to never achieve the good results he was promised.
The best outcome would be a lifetime of poverty and destitution.
Pay the price for past ruthlessness, regret it, and atone for it.
"This competition will be broadcast live. There's a TV here, let's ask the boss to turn it on."
"Zhou Ling, what do you think?"
"Okay, I'll go find the boss."
Zhou Ling's eyes flickered. It would be best if she could know Zhou Chen's match result as soon as possible.
