As Zhou Chen left the office, he carried a thick stack of notes and key information from various subjects.
It was Teacher Wu who specially asked the teachers of each subject to get it for him.
This will help him to pick up the forgotten knowledge as soon as possible.
This is a good thing, and it's exactly what Zhou Chen needs right now.
With these notes and materials, he was able to significantly shorten the time it took to master the knowledge. Zhou Chen had no way to repay Teacher Wu's help, so he could only silently remember it in his heart and repay her with his grades in the future.
Upon arriving at the bicycle parking area, Zhou Chen saw several female classmates who had been walking with Zhou Na yesterday.
Zhou Na was not among them.
These students are all day students; they go home every night.
Unlike them, Zhou Na lives in the school dormitory. Since entering high school, Zhou Na has taken the initiative to ask to live in the dormitory and only goes back to the school on weekends.
Now that the four siblings have separated their households, Zhou Na doesn't go back and naturally continues to live in the dormitory.
"Zhou Na is really amazing, she's in the top ten again."
"Do you know why Zhou Na studies so hard? It is said that her older brother voluntarily dropped out of school so that he and his siblings could go to school, giving up his own opportunity to attend school."
But she never seems to talk about her older brother, nor does she want others to inquire. Logically, she should be very grateful to her brother.
"Don't you guys think Zhou Na is a bit selfish?"
Zhou Chen was riding his bicycle past a group of girls when he overheard them talking about Zhou Na, especially the last few sentences.
Clearly, Zhou Na didn't want her classmates to know about his existence, and she never mentioned him in front of them.
She's definitely the second sister.
Zhou Na's selfishness was obvious to all her classmates, but it took him, as the eldest brother, a lifetime to truly understand it.
"Zhou Chen, when are you going to play another game with me? Let me see if your chess skills have gotten worse."
Grandpa Liang sat on a bench at the school gate, basking in the sun.
"Uncle Liang, let's do it another day. I'm a bit busy lately. I have to go to the construction site and study. Once my grades improve, I'll beat you to a pulp."
Zhou Chen waved and rode away with a smile.
"You little brat, you've got quite the nerve. I'll be waiting for you."
The faint sound of Grandpa Liang laughing in anger could be heard from behind.
Today, Zhou Chen didn't stay at the construction site canteen until after six o'clock. With Sister Wang Lan joining in, the canteen work could be completed by the two of them. Zhou Chen decided to use this time to review.
After receiving yesterday's food allowance, Zhou Chen immediately paid Li Juan and Wang Lan their wages before heading home.
Just arrived at the building entrance of the residential complex,
Zhou Chen saw his third sister, Zhou Ling, again—that persistent, love-obsessed girl.
What is she doing here again?
So, you think what you said yesterday was just empty talk?
Zhou Chen intended to pretend he hadn't seen her, ignore Zhou Ling, and go home on his own.
But Zhou Ling walked over quickly.
As soon as she arrived, Zhou Ling loudly emphasized, "I'm not here to see you. Don't be so presumptuous. I'm here to see the older women. This has nothing to do with you."
"Are you done talking?"
Zhou Chen said calmly, his face expressionless.
"No."
Zhou Ling proudly raised her head, then deliberately tugged at her clothes and pants, and said smugly, "See my new clothes? They're from Metersbonwe, and Brother Kun bought them for me specially."
Now you know how good Xiao Kun is to me, right? He's not like you said, stingy with money. This outfit cost several hundred yuan, and Xiao Kun bought it for me without even blinking an eye.
Hearing this, Zhou Chen understood. Zhou Ling said she was visiting the neighbor lady, but in reality, she wanted to show off in front of him and create the impression that she was very happy.
In response,
Zhou Chen found it childish and laughable.
Happiness is not something you can show off or fake; it's a genuine feeling that comes from the heart.
Those who are most eager to prove themselves are often the ones who lack the most.
"It's alright, please move aside."
There's nothing to say about being love-struck; otherwise, it can easily lead to liver problems and shorten lifespan.
only,
Zhou Chen's indifference did not deter Zhou Ling from leaving.
On the contrary,
In Zhou Ling's view, her words were a powerful rebuttal to Zhou Chen's previous statement that she was not valued by the Zhao family. Zhou Chen was speechless and wanted to escape.
"Brother, now you know how good Brother Kun is to me, right? I made the right choice. He spoils me rotten. Only you don't think he's good enough."
But he proved his love for me today, and I feel that you owe me an apology, and you also owe Xiao Kun an apology.
If you apologize to me and Brother Kun now and return the dowry money to us, Brother Kun and I are willing to give you a chance and forgive you.
"When Little Kun makes a lot of money in the future, he'll buy you Metersbonwe clothes so you can experience the lifestyle of rich people in the city."
Zhou Ling said slowly and self-importantly.
Zhou Chen couldn't hold back any longer. He used to think that Zhou Ling was just love-struck, but now he realized that he was being naive. Zhou Ling was not only love-struck, but also stupid. She thought that a tattered outfit represented love. When did love become so cheap?
The money he spent on his family and on Zhou Ling could have bought ten sets of Metersbonwe clothing, but she only bought it once, which is proof of her love for her.
Zhou Chen felt his aversion to stupidity was about to flare up.
Every time he saw Zhou Ling, this love-obsessed girl, he couldn't help but feel his anger rising.
This is the worst luck imaginable, to have run into something like this.
Fortunately, they are not related by blood.
Continue silently repeating "Don't get angry" three times, Zhou Chen said in a deep voice:
"You better not force me to slap you when I'm happiest."
"Get out of my sight and don't bother me again."
"you……"
Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Chen ignored her, walked straight past her, and entered the stairwell without looking back.
"Zhou Chen, I hate you. You'll never get my forgiveness."
“You look down on me, you look down on Brother Kun, you will definitely regret it.”
“I will be very, very happy. I want you to know that you are just arrogant and that you are the biggest joke.”
Zhou Ling pointed to the stairwell door, stomped her foot hard, said these words, her eyes red, turned around and ran away crying.
She had intended to show off in front of Zhou Chen, but she didn't expect that Zhou Chen didn't care at all, which made Zhou Ling feel very frustrated.
"Zhou Chen did go a bit too far. His sister is naughty and disobedient, hanging out with a hoodlum, but he treats Zhou Ling quite well."
"You can't always judge people with prejudice. He's being narrow-minded as the older brother."
Several middle-aged women commented and made their opinions.
And at that moment,
Zhou Chen suddenly walked out of the stairwell and spoke bluntly to everyone:
"Aunties, I'm sure you're not prejudiced. What do you think about marrying your daughters off to a good-for-nothing street thug?"
"I can introduce you to them for free."
This time, facing a group of overly sympathetic old women, Zhou Chen didn't hold back and immediately retorted.
