On a rainy night, heavy rain poured down on Zhou Xiu.
She was waiting for her sponsor. The cold wind blew into her neck and the girl's lips trembled and turned pale.
She was like a tenacious yet ordinary weed in the corner, dressed very thinly, and people passing by could not help but look at her with surprise.
But she still didn't want to hide in KFC to enjoy the heating.
The rain water poured into her cheap plastic shoes. The girl was carrying a heavy snakeskin bag, wearing thin clothes and had thin shoulders.
Everything about her seemed out of place in this bustling metropolis.
At this time, a black car slowly stopped in front of her.
A middle-aged woman holding an umbrella got out of the car. Her makeup was as delicate as the people on TV. The moment the woman saw the girl, a hint of surprise appeared on her cold face.
"Zhou Xiu? Get in the car."
Mother Xi's eyes fell on the snakeskin bag of urea that Zhou Xiu was carrying.
Zhou Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed, and she explained with trembling lips: "This is... a little gift from my parents."
Zhou Xiu was not tall, only about 1.6 meters at most, but the snakeskin bag she was carrying seemed to be taller than her, which made her look very funny.
Some time ago, Xi's mother's good sister accidentally rescued a country girl while collecting folk songs in the mountains.
The good sister angrily recounted Zhou Xiu's story on the phone:
"Zhou Xiucai is in high school. She ranked first in the school during the high school entrance examination. But do you know? Her grandparents took away her cousin's 50,000 yuan betrothal gift to exchange for a new wife. She is so young, but she has to marry an old man in his thirties! I paid the money for her, but..."
It was only after doing a good deed that he realized he had picked up a hot potato and threw it to Xi's mother.
Xi's mother did not have the overflowing sympathy of a good sister, but providing a little girl with food and clothing was just something that could be easily solved.
She said politely, "Get in the car."
The driver put Zhou Xiu's snakeskin bag in the trunk. She got into the car in a daze. Only after getting in did she realize that there was a boy in the car.
The boy sitting in the car was wearing a British-style light gray diamond-patterned sweater, and the sneakers on his feet were spotlessly clean and as new as if they had just been taken off the shelves in a store.
The leather mats in the car are also pure white.
The heating in the car is very sufficient, which makes people yearn for it.
However, as soon as Zhou Xiu lifted his foot, the low-quality plastic shoes suddenly cracked, and the toe of the shoe looked like a cracked mouth, revealing the frozen red toes inside.
Dirty water kept dripping from her shoes, and Zhou Xiu retracted her toes in embarrassment.
The boy in the car slowly raised his head. His handsome face seemed to be soaked in sunlight, his eyebrows were raised, and he had the pride and confidence that only a teenager could have.
He looked at Zhou Xiu casually, as if he was looking at garbage on the roadside.
Indifferent and disgusted.
Zhou Xiu's face felt a little hot. She turned her head away and wiped the dirty water with the rag handed to her by the housekeeper.
"Close the car door, hurry up, I have a meeting to attend later." Xi's mother urged as if giving an order.
Zhou Xiu whispered, "Oh, okay."
…
Zhou Xiu moved into the Xi family. That night was uneventful and uneventful. It was as if there was one more person in the house, but nothing had changed.
Xi's mother rushed to a meeting overnight and did not return all night.
The young master of the Xi family, that boy, didn't take Zhou Xiu seriously.
Zhou Xiu took a hot bath and lay warmly in bed. That night she had a very long dream. She dreamed of her nightmare life.
In the dream, although "Zhou Xiu" escaped the fate of marrying an old man from the mountains, she suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Xi Shaoyuan.
She fell in love with the young master of this rich family.
During Zhou's senior year of high school, his father fell seriously ill and urgently needed 50,000 yuan for surgery. "Zhou Xiu" was too embarrassed to ask the Xi family for money, so he could only work hard to earn money during the holidays.
At the same time, Xi Shaoyuan, who was celebrating his girlfriend's birthday, gave her a bracelet worth 300,000 yuan.
"Zhou Xiu" saw the price tag of the bracelet in Xi Shaoyuan's study. When she counted the string of zeros, her heart trembled. If she could marry into a wealthy family...all her troubles in life would disappear.
She began to dress according to the type that Xi Shaoyuan liked and tried crazily to please Xi Shaoyuan.
She ultimately failed to impress Xi Shaoyuan, but people in Xi Shaoyuan's circle had long been fed up with women like "Zhou Xiu" who dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family.
Finally, Zhou Xiu's thoughts were discovered by Xi's mother, who humiliated her severely and sent her back to her hometown in the mountains to marry an old man...
"I provide you with food, clothing and education, and you repay me by seducing my son?"
There was lightning and thunder outside the window, a flash of silver light appeared, and then a loud thunder sounded.
Zhou Xiu woke up in a sweat.
This dream was so real.
[Hello young man, don’t doubt it, the dream I just played for you is exactly the life you are going to experience next. You must know that if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall and if you rely on people, they will run away. It is useless to rely on men. 】
[This is the learning system.] Young people, please make good use of your time to study hard and enrich yourself! 】
[It is difficult for a noble son to come from a poor family.] The Galaxy Interstellar Poor Support Foundation and Learning System are dedicated to serving you. 】
Sent back to her hometown in the mountains, what was waiting for her... Zhou Xiu, who had just been rescued from the devil's cave, knew it very well.
The woman in the dream who gradually changed from clumsy to paranoid, and herself who became crazy and devilish for Xi Shaoyang, made Zhou Xiu feel unfamiliar and confused.
Zhou Xiu ignored the strange voice in his ear.
In the morning, Zhou Xiu was woken up by the aunt of the Xi family to have breakfast. When she saw Xi Shaoyuan, who was dressed neatly, she was shocked. It was too dim last night and she did not see the young master of the Xi family clearly.
His looks are truly stunning.
But Zhou Xiu recalled her dream last night. If she fell in love with him, she would be sent back to the mountains to marry an old man. Zhou Xiu couldn't help but tremble and took a step back.
Aunt looked at Zhou Xiu in confusion.
"Haven't you guys met each other yet? You're still so unfamiliar. Xiuxiu, please introduce yourself to the young master."
Zhou Xiu in the dream was very happy and gave a long self-introduction, but did not get a response from Xi Shaoyuan.
Zhou Xiu calmly said, "My name is Zhou Xiu."
Xi Shaoyuan hummed vaguely, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. He kept his posture unchanged and ate his breakfast lazily.
It seemed as if Zhou Xiu was just an insignificant passerby to him. Zhou Xiu drank the porridge and thought idly:
Indifference is Xi Shaoyuan's true character.
Aunt Xi sent Zhou Xiu to report to Yude Middle School.
Zhou Xiu walked into her new class with a heavy heart.
Before arriving in the big city yesterday, Zhou Xiu was full of expectations for the new school and new classmates. But Zhou Xiu couldn't be happy because of the predictive dream she had last night.
They excluded her, despised her, teased her, and had great malice towards her.
Zhou Xiu was wearing a uniform, oversized school uniform and had a thin face. Long-term malnutrition made her look very ordinary and average in appearance. Obviously, such transfer students cannot arouse the interest of young boys and girls.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Xiu."
After a quick self-introduction, Zhou Xiu sat down in his seat and became a nobody in the corner.
[Believe me, learning can make you rich, but being a man can't. 】
[Dear, are you there?] Hello. I need your response here. 】
After one night, the learning system absorbed the civilization of that era and quickly adapted to the trend of the times.
It was almost noon, after the last physics class ended, and Zhou Xiu's stomach rumbled.
Xi's mother is a very career-oriented woman, but she is not at all considerate in her daily life. On the first day of school, she forgot to give Zhou Xiu pocket money.
Zhou Xiu and Xi Shao were not familiar with each other originally, and she would rather go hungry than deliberately borrow things from him as she did in her dream in order to get closer to him.
She crumpled up a ball of waste paper and distracted herself by writing on the test paper.
After finishing a multiple-choice question, she pinched her stomach.
[Ding——Please try to solve a math problem independently. If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded 10 RMB.]
The annoying voice sounded again.
Zhou Xiu's eyes fell on the math test paper. She did not believe this sentence. But something is better than nothing, so Zhou Xiu solved the final question.
This was a geometry problem. Zhou Xiu sharpened his pencil, drew auxiliary lines, and patiently solved the problem step by step.
She frowned and wanted to throw away the draft paper several times in annoyance.
Key schools are indeed not comparable to small schools in remote mountainous areas. Zhou Xiu racked her brains.
The behind-the-scenes story is about Zhou Xiu’s desk mate. She just woke up and found there was a new desk mate next to her. She is still a quiet girl.
He looked pale and thin, and looked malnourished. A whole morning passed and she was so quiet that she didn't say a word.
Usually, Huatuo is the only one who is cold to others, and no one is cold to her. However, Huatiao met an opponent for the first time in his life.
It was obvious that her new deskmate had no interest in her at all.
Very satisfied with the highlights.
After school, Huateng slowly took out her cosmetics, applied some powder, and reapplied lipstick.
The new deskmate did not leave, but took out the math test paper and started writing the last question.
There were two girls in the back seat, one was quietly writing the test paper, and the other was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. The boundaries are clear and no one disturbs anyone else.
Lao Wang, the head of Yude's mathematics group, is a well-known pervert. He likes to come up with some strange and difficult questions to tease everyone. Huatiao flipped through the reference answers out of boredom.
Root five.
The answer was actually correct... Huaxu glanced at Zhou Xiu and knocked on Zhou Xiu's desk.
"Please copy your homework for me after you finish it."
Her tone was a bit draggy. But Zhou Xiu didn't care.
"Oh, find it yourself."
[The answer is correct, the 10 RMB reward has been put into your pocket. 】
Zhou Xiu finished several other big math problems in one go and prepared to lie down on the table to rest for a while. But when she unconsciously put her hand into her pocket, she felt a piece of money.
When he took it out, he saw a gray-blue Mao Zedong note looking at Zhou Xiu with a smile.
Zhou Xiu rubbed his eyes and was stunned.
Zhou Xiu was sure that her pockets were clean and the money was indeed "out of thin air".
[Dear, please enjoy the fruits of your labor in time. The fruits of labor exchanged for knowledge are damn sweet. 】
Make money by studying?
This sounds incredible, but the money in his hand reminds Zhou Xiu that this is true! So crazy!
It lay quietly in her pocket, giving her a sense of security.
Various foods appeared in front of Zhou Xiu's eyes: hot soup noodles, soft and sweet steamed buns, and eggs with the aroma of chopped green onions. Zhou Xiu clenched the money tightly and swallowed.
She ran quickly to the school cafeteria.
The cafeteria at Yude Middle School is very generous, with free soup, porridge, rice, and steamed buns. Even though it’s free stuff, it tastes pretty good.
Zhou Xiu ordered a portion of meat, but the price of pork had increased and it now cost ten yuan per portion, which was beyond Zhou Xiu's expectation.
She regretted it after beating the meat, it was a bit expensive.
Zhou Xiu was starving. The braised pork was fragrant, the gravy was thick, and it was stewed to be fatty but not greasy.
She ate five steamed buns with the braised pork in one go, and only stopped when she started burping. She stroked her stomach and squinted her eyes. Although it hurt, she felt unprecedented satisfaction.
On the second floor of the dining hall, there is an elegant seat.
“Puff——”
"How long will that woman finish eating? She's already eaten five!"
"She is a transfer student from the class next door. I heard her family is in financial difficulty. The water cup she uses was donated by the Hope Project!"
Xi Shaoyuan heard the voice and glanced at it casually. I happened to see the poor student that his mother sponsored. I saw a bowl of porridge on her left hand, a bowl of rice on her right hand, and an empty tray in front of her.
He looked away.
"She looks so thin. Isn't she afraid of dying from eating so much?"
The tidbit, which has always regarded money as dirt since childhood, fell into deep thought when he saw his desk mate getting another free fruit.
Her deskmate seems... a little poor?
