Chapter 224 It's all luck
"Get out? Peng Li, who are you talking to?"
"Whoever should speak is the one who should speak."
"Hey, I have such a short temper..."
"What? You want to hit me? Be careful, or I'll tell your parents!"
Qiu Zhengyu: ...
"How old are you to still be telling your parents?"
"I don't care, as long as it works."
Qiu Zhengyu: ...
It really works.
After all, Qiu Zhengyu also cares about his reputation.
but……
"Is Cheng Zhen alright?" Although Qiu Zhengyu was secretly pleased with Cheng Zhen's condition, he still had to say what needed to be said to avoid giving others a handle to retaliate against.
Hmm, I wish my younger sister could see this.
What a pity.
But he can talk to his sister about it when he gets back.
That’s settled.
"What do you think?" Peng Li glanced at him.
"I think there's something going on. I never expected that Cheng Zhen would also have times when he couldn't get what he wanted."
"Are you gloating?"
"Is there? No, I don't think so. Oh well, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?"
"hehe."
"Ahem, I have something to do, I'll be going now, see you later." Qiu Zhengyu waved his hand and turned to leave with a particularly bold air.
He had to hurry back and tell his sister.
Oh, I'm so happy today!
Peng Li glared at Qiu Zhengyu's retreating figure. It was impossible for Qiu Zhengyu not to be happy, but he was still worried about Cheng Zhen. He followed Cheng Zhen out of the campus, and the two found a quiet place to sit down.
"Cheng Zhen, are you alright? It's just a girl. It's her loss if she doesn't like you. There's nothing to worry about. Look at me, I've dated so many people, and none of them have bothered me. Besides, I like every single one of them. It'll all be over in the past, really, trust me."
Cheng Zhen turned his head to look at him.
"What, what's wrong?"
Cheng Zhen lowered his head: "It's nothing."
"You call this nothing?"
"Didn't I say I'd help you deal with Wu Guifang? Let's go back first."
"No, Cheng Zhen, are you really alright?"
"I'm fine."
Peng Li really didn't think the other party was alright, but Cheng Zhen wouldn't say anything, and he didn't have the brains to do so, so he could only obediently follow behind Cheng Zhen without doing anything.
However, he was thinking to himself that Lin Xiaotao was ungrateful and that this matter couldn't be left like this. After all, it was his brother's first confession in so many years, and yet it had failed miserably. What kind of eyes did that girl have?
As for Little Peach Blossom, she didn't seem to care after the others left and remained happy.
However, Li Zhen and the others were not in the mood for it.
"Won't something bad happen?" Song Yi asked, somewhat worried.
He had heard of Cheng Zhen's name in college; he was said to be a genius, pampered by several professors, and from a good family.
"No matter what happens, it's them who will be in trouble." Li Zhen wasn't worried.
His practical experience over the years has taught him that anyone who harms Xiaotaohua will only bring misfortune upon others, while his own Xiaotaohua is protected by God.
"I'm just afraid that Little Peach Blossom will be heartbroken."
"What's there to be sad about? As long as Xiao Taohua doesn't care, no one can hurt her." Li Zhen understood this clearly. The only thing that could hurt Xiao Taohua was the one she cared about.
"That's true."
"Aren't you jealous? Someone confessed their feelings to you."
"Sigh, that's all in the past. Now I just treat Little Peach Blossom as my little sister."
"Really?" Li Zhen just couldn't believe it.
"Is it fake or something?" Song Yi rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You can't blame me for not believing you, after all, you don't have that kind of credibility."
Song Yi: ...
I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with him.
He turned to Little Peach Blossom: "I heard your professor was looking for you? Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing serious, the professor just asked me to solve a few problems."
"You solved it?"
"Yes, it's very simple."
“Our little peach blossom has always been so smart.”
"It's alright," Little Peach Blossom smiled.
Li Zhen looked at Song Yi: "Do you know something?"
Regarding Xiao Taohua, Song Yi was never one to mince words: "She knows a little bit about her."
He then looked at the group and asked, "Are you aware of the 'Genius Program'?"
"What is that?"
"Hmm, it seems none of you know."
Li Zhen, Lin Xiaoguang, Xiao Taohua: ...
They didn't know that in the first place.
However, this did not prevent them from listening to Song Yi's explanation.
"The so-called 'Genius Program' is basically just about finding geniuses. As for what it's for, it's obvious. The college entrance exam has been reinstated, so what's the point of finding geniuses? It's just about building up a reserve force. The international situation is different now. In the past, wars were fought head-on, but now we hear about high-tech weapons. And most people can't understand these high-tech things, so they can only be applied to geniuses. After all, geniuses' minds work faster than ordinary people's."
“Xiao Taohua is a medical student,” Li Zhen specifically pointed out.
"As I said, he's a genius. It's not normal for a genius to change his major."
Li Zhen had nothing to say.
"I only want to study medicine," Little Peach Blossom shook her head.
"Yes, but they don't know that."
"So, is Xiao Taohua now a candidate for cultivation?"
"It can't be called a trainee, it can only be called an observer."
"It's been a month since school started, isn't it a bit late to be doing this now?"
"That's what I'm talking about." At this point, Song Yi looked at Xiao Taohua with a complicated expression: "After all, our Xiao Taohua doesn't pay attention in class, disappears after class, and never asks the professor any questions. Many students and teachers think that our Xiao Taohua is just so-so, and that it's only luck that she got into Peking University with a near-perfect score."
"Who said that? Point it out!" Li Zhen snapped.
"Does it even need to be said? People don't need to say it, but it's obvious."
Li Zhen: ...
"So, the professor probably wanted to do one last test," Song Yi concluded.
"And then?" Li Zhen asked.
"Who knows?" Song Yi shrugged.
"This is really..." Li Zhen didn't know what to say. However, Xiao Taohua didn't want to change her major, and Xiao Taohua's medical skills were so amazing. Thinking of this, Li Zhen didn't care anymore. Let others do what they want. Anyway, they don't know anything: "Let's just pretend we don't know."
"I was just saying, you can pretend you don't know if you're out there."
"You did a good job. Next time, try to find out more information."
"You tell me."
"I will also try my best to find out information," Lin Xiaoguang said, mustering his courage.
The two of them looked at him.
Silence, a complete lack of presence, and in unison: "You don't need to, you should focus on your studies."
Lin Xiaoguang pursed his lips.
“You’re still not happy?” Song Yi said.
Lin Xiaoguang did not respond.
"It seems they really aren't happy about it."
Lin Xiaoguang stared at him.
"There's really nothing you can do right now. Why don't you study hard and try to change your status through academics in the future? That way you can be a support for Xiao Taohua?"
Lin Xiaoguang seemed to be deep in thought.
“Let’s go. We’ve already wasted so much time,” Li Zhen said.
"Alright, let's go. Little Peach Blossom, tell Brother Song Yi what else you want to do, and Brother Song Yi will arrange it for you..." All along the way, it was Song Yi and Li Zhen's voices. As for Lin Xiaoguang, well, he was ignored once again. Even the words he just said were spoken by Song Yi without any care. He had no idea what impact this would have on the innocent Lin Xiaoguang. Of course, that's a story for later.
