Chapter 13: The bright and charming Ru Ru Ru Ru, you have the best vision, ...
This year at Huayang High School, after Song Yu and Shen Zhiyan left early, Hong Minbo and Zhang Zeyu were promoted to the graduating class, and the first grade of junior high school welcomed this class of new students.
Zhou Ci turned a deaf ear to the outside world and buried his head in study. When the baseline test was conducted, he quietly got the first place in the grade, with full marks in almost every subject, leaving the second place far behind.
Huayang Affiliated High School is worthy of being the key among the key high schools in City B. The school atmosphere is very good, the students are willing to work hard, the teachers are very responsible, and everyone has a common goal.
Zhou Ci's test made him famous in Huayang High School. People in his grade were saying that he had skipped a grade in elementary school and was admitted. Everyone was curious about him. When he walked on the campus, he was looked at everywhere. However, he was very cold and never paid any attention to these looks.
On the Friday after Zhou Ci's midterm exam, Xiao Chen didn't know how he got the news, but on his way home from school, he found himself waiting there with his younger brother.
"Kid, let's talk." Xiao Chen called him.
Zhou Ci wasn't afraid at all. He put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "What? You still want me to beat you up?"
Xiao Chen's thoughts were really predicted by Zhou Ci. He was really not convinced by Zhou Ci's unilateral beating last time. He couldn't believe that he would lose to a primary school kid. He waited here early today just to fight Zhou Ci again. "Don't worry, they are just watching. I won't bully you. I will challenge you to a one-on-one fight. Let's fight again."
Zhou Ci laughed sarcastically: "What do you mean by not bullying me? You are so much older than me, and you challenge me to a duel, and you still think you are being fair?"
Xiao Chen was choked. At this moment, he really didn't remember that Zhou Ci was several years younger than him. He just felt that his dignity was challenged and wanted to fight again to win back his face.
Zhou Ci was just fighting back at what he said. He didn't care about the age difference. There was no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. "It doesn't matter. If you want to fight, do it quickly. I still have to go home." He took his schoolbag off his back, carefully placed it on a clean cement platform next to him, and got into a fighting posture.
Xiao Chen didn't think about anything else at this time and went straight to meet him. He had been waiting here for half a day, so it would be unreasonable not to fight. He would accept the loss with conviction, and there was nothing to be proud of if he won. But regardless of winning or losing, from now on, he would look up to Zhou Ci.
Zhou Ci avoided Xiao Chen's fist and kicked him directly. In front of his younger brother, Xiao Chen performed very well today. Zhou Ci found it a little harder to deal with it than last time, but only a little.
Zhou Ci seized the opportunity and punched Xiao Chen in the chin again. This chin had been punched several times by Zhou Ci before, and being hit again made Xiao Chen spit out a mouthful of blood foam. Zhou Ci did not miss this opportunity, grabbing Xiao Chen's collar, pulling him in front of him, and punching him again.
Zhou Ci doesn't care about anything when fighting. He fights with all his might and without regard for his life, just wanting to knock the opponent down as quickly as possible.
He punched Xiao Chen with just two or three punches, making him lose his fighting ability. Before being beaten unilaterally again, Xiao Chen didn't care about his face and just shouted to stop.
Xiao Chen felt that Zhou Ci was even stronger than the last time they fought. This might be because he had grown a lot taller during the summer vacation, and his fists were more powerful.
Xiao Chen readily admitted defeat, and Zhou Ci didn't continue.
Zhou Ci didn't suffer any serious injuries this time. At most, his nose and face were bruised and his lips were slightly scratched. He didn't even need to apply medicine.
He straightened his messy clothes, took his schoolbag back from the cement platform, dusted it off, put it back on his back, and continued walking forward without saying a word.
Xiao Chen's younger brothers were not satisfied with their boss being beaten, so they surrounded him and wouldn't let him leave.
Zhou Ci stood there, his hands on the straps of his schoolbag. He didn't say anything, but just turned around and glanced at Xiao Chen with a mocking look in his eyes.
Xiao Chen was stung by this look. He stood leaning against the cement platform, waved his hand, and said, "Such a powerful elementary school kid, he will be my dad from now on. Don't stop him, let dad go."
His face was covered in blood, and he was wiping it with a tissue given to him by his younger brother. He grinned without a care in the world, and said to Zhou Ci directly without any burden of being the boss: "Dad, you are so powerful now, and you will only be more powerful in the future. We will follow you from now on, what do you think?"
When these words were spoken, Xiao Chen's brothers didn't react at all, as if they were already used to it.
Zhou Ci also didn't expect that the boss of Nancheng would be such a funny guy. When he lost a fight, he would just call someone "Dad" and he didn't even care if they were younger than him.
The development of the matter was beyond Zhou Ci's expectations, and a rare look of dullness appeared on his face, which usually showed no emotion.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes, which were swollen to a slit, and asked again without getting tired of it: "Do you agree or not?"
"I..." Zhou Ci hesitated for once. He had never encountered such a situation before. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't need it."
"Dad, you don't give me face!" Xiao Chen spat out another mouthful of blood. "Although we can't risk our lives for you, there are still many things we can do for you. Besides, you are the younger brother of a good student. If you don't give face to the monk, give it to the Buddha. Can you reconsider it?"
Zhou Ci still refused: "I don't have time to hang out with you guys." He had a lot of things to do. He had to study hard to skip a grade again. It would be best if he could get into the bridging class of No. 1 Middle School in one go and study in the same school with his sister. How could he have time to hang out with this group of lazy people who didn't study hard?
"You're so boring!" Xiao Chen complained, "Forget it, forget it. You're the younger brother of a good student, so you must study hard. I won't force you." He waved his hand and put his right hand back into his trouser pocket, "Let's go!" He left with his younger brother in a cool manner.
Although Zhou Ci didn't agree to their invitation to join, he would always see them on his way home. Xiao Chen didn't bother him and would just say hello from a distance. Zhou Ci had other ideas in mind, but he didn't refuse this kind of interaction. After a few visits, they became familiar with each other, and a greeting from a distance turned into a special visit.
Xiao Chen once joked with Zhou Ci: "What do you call this? No friendship without fighting, right?"
At that time, Zhou Ci was preparing for the third-year junior high school entrance exam. Upon hearing this, he sighed, "Life is quite interesting sometimes."
Who can predict whether there will be a bright future tomorrow, or any day tomorrow, when things get dark and hopeless?
Zhou Ci felt this way because he would never forget that year when he was weak and felt that the world was too boring. He wanted to leave by committing suicide, but it was his sister who helped him.
That day, my sister was wearing a pink and purple dress, a pair of white crystal shoes, and a small diamond crown on her hair. The sunlight outside the window crept onto her body, and her whole body was dazzling as if it was glowing, but that light was not as bright as her eyes that were looking at him with a smile.
He looked at his sister, secretly and carefully, as if he wanted to engrave her figure deeply in his heart.
At that time, he was pulled back by such a sister.
At that time, he could never have imagined that this day would come.
-
During the winter vacation after Song Yusheng entered the bridging class, he went on vacation to an island with a group of junior high school classmates.
In this group of people, besides her best friend and childhood friend, there are also Shen Zhiyan’s friends, Hong Minbo and Xiao Zeyu.
She originally wanted to bring Zhou Ci along. For so long, she had been wanting to introduce all the people in her circle of friends to Zhou Ci. Making more friends always brings many benefits.
These friends of Song Yu are the next successors of the wealthy circle in City B. Most of them will take over their own companies in the future. This will be very helpful in improving Zhou Ci's current situation and his career development after he becomes an adult.
Unexpectedly, this decision was opposed by Shen Zhiyan.
Shen Zhiyan didn't say anything absolute, but just broke it down and reasoned with her, and between the lines, he wanted her to change her mind: "This semester is too tiring. We are all going out to relax. We will only play for a few days and then come back. The schedule is so tight, and you brought a child with you. How can everyone have fun?"
Song Yu retorted, "He's not that young, is he? Zhou Ci is only three years younger than us. He's not a kindergarten kid or a lower grade kid who needs to be taken care of. I believe he can take care of himself well. He's very independent."
"Being three years younger might not be obvious when he's older, but at this age, look at us and those three years younger than us. We're planning on doing some pretty dangerous activities this time. If we're unlucky and encounter unexpected situations, we can stay calm. Can you guarantee he won't collapse? Do you know him that well?"
These words left Song Yu speechless. To put it bluntly, everyone was there to relax and of course wanted to have a good time. But how could they have a good time with an unknown person around and have to take care of and get used to him/her everywhere? Song Yu could make do with it, but she really couldn't ask everyone to make do with her.
Song Yu called Zhou Ci and told him about the matter, but he didn’t mention that it was Shen Zhiyan’s idea.
One is her childhood sweetheart, and the other is her adopted brother. If they had a quarrel over such a small matter, she would definitely feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Song Yu hadn't thought too much about it at this point, but she had already sensitively realized that her childhood sweetheart didn't seem to like the brother she adopted, and always had a vague aversion to him.
For example, regarding the matter of taking the bridging class, Zhang Zeyu once let it slip that Shen Zhiyan heard some news from somewhere. Zhang Zeyu didn't know what the news was, but Zhang Zeyu was sure that the news was related to Song Yu, otherwise Shen Zhiyan would not have made the sudden decision to take the bridging class exam for No. 1 Middle School and dragged Song Yu along.
The two of them have always been ranked first or second in their grade. With their current level, even if they stay idle until the end of the third year of junior high school and then go to No. 1 Middle School for high school, they will have no pressure at all.
Song Yu had been wondering why Chen Zhiyan suddenly asked her to take the bridging class. After hearing what Zhang Zeyu said, she turned around and asked Chen Zhiyan, but of course Chen Zhiyan refused to admit it.
The older Shen Zhiyan gets, the deeper his thoughts become. If he doesn't admit something, you will never guess it even if you ask him to death. Song Yu has long since become a Buddha. She can't get the truth out of him anyway, so she doesn't force herself.
This was something she figured out slowly later on. Shen Zhiyan seemed dissatisfied with her excessive attention to Zhou Ci. Whenever he heard her mention Zhou Ci, he would feel something was wrong. From then on, Song Yu rarely mentioned Zhou Ci's name in front of Shen Zhiyan to avoid deepening the conflict between them.
She had always wanted her childhood sweetheart and her adopted brother to get along well, and had been looking for opportunities for them to interact, but the two of them were like people of the same sex repelling each other, like kings not meeting each other: if you don't like me, I won't get close to you.
Both of them avoided each other intentionally or unintentionally. That subtle feeling could probably only be understood by the two parties involved. Song Yu certainly didn't know. If she knew, she wouldn't want to use this opportunity to go out and play to bring the two closer together and give them a chance to get along.
It's a pity that Shen Zhiyan didn't appreciate it, and from Zhou Ci and Song Yu's tone, it seemed that they didn't have any intention in this regard.
Song Yu, who was trying to do the hard work in the middle, could only give up with regret. Her childhood sweetheart and her younger brother were not getting along. Who could understand her feelings?
Zhou Ci really didn't want to go out and play, even though this opportunity to go out and play with his sister was rare. After comprehensive consideration, he decided to give up for the time being.
I will study in the same school with my sister in the future, and there will be plenty of opportunities for me to play with her. Giving up this opportunity can gain me countless opportunities in the future. No matter how I think about it, it is worthwhile to give up the countless opportunities in the future.
Moreover, in the final exam of the first semester of the first year of junior high school, Zhou Ci was unsurprisingly ranked first in the grade. He had been busy with studies recently and had not practiced boxing much. He had stopped the class with Master Xue a long time ago and had not been attending. He gave up Muay Thai and switched to Wing Chun for Song Yu. Now that Song Yu didn't go, it was boring for him to practice alone.
For this matter, Mr. Zhou even made a special phone call to inquire about it. Mr. Zhou was also puzzled. Why did this kid do what he wanted? He just arranged for him to go, but less than half a year later, he didn't want to go.
Zhou Ci had already prepared his reasons. He wanted to study hard and strive to skip a grade. Of course, he didn't have that much time to spend on these things. Fortunately, the transcript he handed in was good enough. Grandpa Zhou was very satisfied and didn't ask any more questions.
During Song Yu's trip this time, there is a plan to go out to sea. They plan to sail the boat farther away to see the scenery.
The night before, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they gathered together to discuss the next day's itinerary. Someone started talking about Huayang High School, and Hong Minbo liked the topic very much, so he quickly joined the discussion. The first person he brought up was Zhou Ci.
"Chen Zhiyan, you left too early. You didn't even know that there was an extraordinary person in this year's first grade. You definitely can't guess who it is?"
Shen Zhiyan was not surprised: “Is the person you want to talk about called Zhou Ci, the youngest grandson of the Zhou family?”
"Amazing!" Hong Minbo exclaimed. "You know all this? Who told you? Was it Zhang Zeyu?"
Shen Zhiyan sat next to Song Yu, his long legs crossed, his back leaning on the sofa, and said calmly: "Is this strange? The Zhou family has many talented people, but it is not easy to lead the Zhou family for another thirty years like Old Man Zhou. Although Zhou Ci is still young, just look at the fact that he skipped a grade to Huayang Junior High School. It is not easy for ordinary people to keep up with the progress of Junior High School. He can also get the first place in the grade in every exam, leaving the second place score far behind. Do you think he will be content with mediocrity in the future? He has a ruthless spirit. Even someone as unyielding as Xiao Chen can bend down and make friends with him. Those people in the Zhou family are not enough for him to play with. If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhou family will fall into his hands in the future."
Shen Zhiyan never makes judgments lightly, and no one can figure out what he is thinking. His friends' teasing about him being a white-cut black is not just a joke. His friends around him all know about his character and are used to it. He can say these words in public today to remind his friends who are still confused, and it is also a great affirmation of Zhou Ci.
"Fuck! Chen Zhiyan, you have such a high opinion of this kid. It's really rare. Now that you mention it, I'm really curious about this kid. I'll go meet him someday when I have time." Zhang Zeyu was the first to jump out.
Song Yu, who was sitting and listening, turned around at this time and said to Shen Zhiyan with some pride: "Shen Zhiyan, my vision is very good, right? You gave him such a high evaluation, doesn't it prove that I am a good brother?"
After Song Yu entered the transition class, her flowering period seemed to have finally arrived. She was like a peony in bud, delicate and bright. Sometimes her every move, every glance and smile could make people lose their minds for a long time.
At this moment, her starry eyes, white teeth, and smiling gaze are enough to make people's heart beat faster.
Shen Zhiyan lowered his eyes to look at her and said seriously: "Ru Ru, your best vision is on me."
Song Yu blinked, a little unresponsive to what Shen Zhiyan meant.
Shen Zhiyan sighed in his heart. What could he do? Song Yu was sometimes cunning and shrewd, but at other times, he was so naive that it made people grit their teeth.
She is so slow-witted that one can't help wanting to split her brain open and pour what one wants to say directly into her head.
