Zhou Xiu finished reviewing the content, put down her pen, turned back to look at Tan Ming at the back desk, and said:
"Tan Ming, since you don't need it, please return the information to me."
As soon as Zhou Xiu finished speaking, there was silence all around.
The poor students’ faces slowly showed a look of “???”
What did she say?
Zhou Xiu didn't care about the strange looks from all around him. He looked at Tan Ming calmly and stretched out his hand towards him.
The cost of the materials was only a dozen yuan at most, but Zhou Xiu shared the highlights with classmates out of kindness.
Giving it to the poor students in the class might help them get a few more points in the exam, but giving it to Tan Ming would just be a waste.
Tan Ming did not expect Zhou Xiu to ask him to return the information directly. He felt like he had gone deaf and was hallucinating.
What did he hear Zhou Xiu say?
Zhou Xiu would save his face just for this little information?
The poor students around Tan Ming suddenly fell silent and all looked at Zhou Xiu.
The poor students came to their senses at this time. Zhou Xiuyue behaved well for a long time after the exam, and people almost forgot that she was once someone who dared to confront the teacher.
Tan Ming is usually very popular in the class and has good relationships with others. In addition to his handsome appearance, he is always surrounded by girls wherever he goes. When you get used to being praised, you will develop more bad habits.
Who would have thought that his charm would suffer a setback here with Zhou Xiu.
Tan Ming was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Xiu kept her hand outstretched, waiting for Tan Ming to return the information.
Huaxu was stunned for a moment, snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, if you don't want to watch it, don't waste Xiuxiu's hard work."
It doesn't make sense that information that you have painstakingly compiled should be given away for free and then be despised.
Yu Qingyan, who was sitting next to Tan Ming, pursed her lips when she saw this.
She whispered to Tan Ming, "Tan Ming, you are going too far. Even if Xiuxiu's physics and chemistry grades are not good, you can't criticize her like this."
"Give it back to her if you don't need it."
Yu Qingyan's academic performance was about the same as Yuan Ruoyi's, but she started reviewing earlier and just went through the material hastily.
Zhou Xiu's notes were very detailed. The review materials for chemistry alone were fifty or sixty pages long. Her level of dedication was unparalleled in her grade. It's already a big thank you to receive something for free if it's something that others have worked hard on. You shouldn't be disrespectful of them like this.
Although the poor students around felt that Zhou Xiu had embarrassed Tan Ming, no one really thought there was anything wrong with her behavior.
Respect is mutual.
Although everyone is accustomed to treating this kind of garbage as nothing and forgetting it after hearing it. But Zhou Xiu doesn't like to hear it, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"If you don't want to watch it, give it back to Xiuxiu, quickly." Huaxu urged.
This time, Tan Ming, who had been pampered since childhood, suddenly lost his charm.
Tan Ming felt a little embarrassed. He took out the neat and new documents from the drawer expressionlessly and returned them to Zhou Xiu.
He said, "Thank you."
Zhou Xiu said "hmm" and calmly put the information into her drawer.
The whole class: “…”
It was so prosperous and dazed that the class flower was actually confronted by a girl like this.
It turns out that being handsome doesn't make you popular everywhere. There are always some people who don't care about looks. Let him remember this lesson.
Du Feiyang lay on the table and laughed silently for a while, then he raised his head and patted Tan Ming's shoulder.
"It's okay, Mingming. If you want to watch it someday, I can reluctantly lend it to you for a while."
Tan Ming hummed almost inaudibly.
Completely humiliated, he turned his head and pretended not to care. He didn't want to hear the word "information" at all, and was also allergic to the word "Zhou Xiu".
Damn, this is the first time in my life that I feel so humble in front of a girl.
Tan Ming felt it was extremely subtle.
Du Feiyang gave Zhou Xiu a thumbs up.
My sister Xiu is a ruthless person in society, but she doesn't talk much.
Zhou Xiu collected the test papers and took a short nap on the table. This little disturbance passed quickly and she didn't take it to heart at all.
…
Xi family.
Zhou Xiu's mother Liu Mei came to the Xi family specially. She taught Aunt Niu of the Xi family how to make medicine soup for Mrs. Xi.
Last time Zhou Cheng was explaining the method, he was interrupted by his daughter. He always felt guilty and asked his wife to go to the Xi family.
After boiling the medicine, Liu Mei said to Aunt Niu gratefully:
"I heard from Xiu'er that you take special care of her."
Aunt Niu originally thought that Zhou Xiu's mother wanted to curry favor with Mrs. Xi, but she left after teaching her the method. If Aunt Niu didn't mention this matter, it would have no effect on currying favor with her.
Aunt Niu was struggling over whether or not to mention this matter to Mrs. Xi.
Out of caution, she didn't mention it. However, she was grateful to Liu Mei for her concern for her wife's health.
When Aunt Niu saw Young Master Xi coming back from school, she stopped him for the first time.
"I was tidying up Xiuxiu's room a few days ago, and I think I found something she didn't take away."
"Master, do you want to go and have a look?"
Master Xi frowned and said lightly, "She just threw away the things she didn't want."
But...that's money. Aunt Niu was conflicted.
She had never thrown money away in her life, so she insisted, "You better go and have a look."
At his aunt's repeated request, Master Xi went to Zhou Xiu's room. This guest room had been sealed up after Zhou Xiu left and remains the same.
The Xi family has many empty rooms, so it doesn’t matter if there is one less.
Then Young Master Xi saw the paper box that his aunt had specially placed on the desk.
It was simple and ugly, with a big word "席" written on the paper box with a water-based pen. The handwriting was beautiful, and it was Zhou Xiu's handwriting.
Master Xi casually withdrew his gaze, walked over and opened the box.
The moment I opened it, the box seemed to respond. Young Master Xi's hand slipped, and the pink banknotes inside the box fell to the ground through the gap in the box.
On his clean shoes.
A look of surprise flashed across Young Master Xi's eyes. He bent down, picked up the money and counted it.
Thanks to his good memory, this batch of serial numbered banknotes were the banknotes that Xi Shaoyuan took out from the public account every month to give to Zhou Xiu.
The amount was exactly the amount of food allowance she received last month.
Did Zhou Xiu not spend any money this month? Xi Shaoyuan frowned.
Aunt Niu poked her head out from outside and said gloomily, "Xiu Xiu's family conditions are not good. Both her parents are migrant workers."
"She should be in great need of the money. Please send it to her, Master."
After she finished speaking, she quickly disappeared. When she walked down the stairs, the aunt patted her chest belatedly:
He has become bolder and bigger.
"I actually asked the young master to do something?"
The housekeeper said kindly: "It's okay, Xiuxiu is the young master's classmate, and it's only natural for classmates to help each other."
Xi Shaoyuan pursed his lips into a line and put the money into the box. He looked around and saw a few new clothes hanging in her closet.
He threw the box on the table and put the money in his pocket.
The next day.
On the weekend, Xi Shaoyuan came back from tutoring at Lao Wang's house and asked the driver to go to Zhou Xiu's house.
The driver had taken Zhou Xiu's family to their new home before and remembered their address very clearly. He quickly adjusted his route and headed towards the village in the city.
…
At noon, Zhou Xiu came back from the library after reviewing her homework.
She went to the vegetable market on the way, bought some vegetables and went home to prepare the meal. After finishing the meal, she brought it to the construction site for her parents to eat.
Zhou Xiu cooked chicken soup and stir-fried eggplant with minced meat.
At this time, her cell phone rang. She answered the call and heard Liu Mei's voice with a faint cry.
She said at a loss: "Xiu'er, your father fell, he fell..."
Zhou Xiu's heart skipped a beat and she calmly turned off the gas.
"Mom, take your time and speak clearly. Don't be in a hurry."
"Your father's foot was hit by a steel bar and his leg was broken. Xiu'er, come quickly--" Liu Mei on the phone was at a loss, looking for her daughter in a daze.
Zhou Xiu asked anxiously: "Is it serious?"
"He can still move, but he just doesn't want to go to the hospital."
Zhou Xiu quickly packed her meal and ran downstairs. She bit her lip and went to the roadside to hail a taxi. At this moment, the Xi family's car happened to be parked on the roadside.
Xi Shaoyuan got out of the car, took out the money, and was about to speak to Zhou Xiu:
"Your money, you don't intend to--"
Zhou Xiu turned around, and Xi Shaoyuan saw her pale face and confusion in her usually cold eyes. People who are familiar with Zhou Xiu rarely see her in such a confused state.
He was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiu's phone was still on the line, and Liu Mei's confused cry came from it: "Xiu'er - come quickly, his feet are getting more and more swollen, black, and bleeding a lot."
She yelled at her husband: "If your leg is broken, how will you work in the future? Listen to Xiu'er, she wants you to go to the hospital!"
Liu Mei broke down and cried.
Zhou Xiu's heart was in turmoil when she heard the crying, and the situation seemed very serious.
She took out her cell phone and called an ambulance. Xi Shaoyuan put his hands in his down jacket pockets and said to Zhou Xiu coldly:
"Get in the car."
Xi Shaoyuan asked Zhou Xiu to give the address. Zhou Xiu calmed down for a moment and gave the address of the construction site.
Xi Shaoyuan called an ambulance and calmly instructed the driver: "Go to the People's Hospital."
The warm air of the air conditioner hit Zhou Xiu's frozen face. She slowly calmed down and comforted her mother on the phone. At the same time, she realized and turned off the speaker on her phone.
"Mom, don't worry, don't cry, the ambulance will be here soon."
Liu Mei on the other end of the phone was still crying. After crying for about ten minutes, she stopped crying and exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiu'er, the doctor is here, the doctor is here!"
She was as happy as a child, and Zhou Xiu nodded softly.
The heater was on Xi Shaoyuan's body. He had taken off his down coat, revealing the thin V-neck sweater underneath.
After not seeing him for a long time, Xi Shaoyuan cut his hair into a refreshing short style, revealing a clean and full forehead. The cold and lazy look can be felt even from several meters away.
He stared ahead with a cold look in his eyes.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the People's Hospital.
Zhou Xiuben went to the orthopedics department and found his parents. Zhou Cheng had undergone a minor surgery on his foot and his right foot was wrapped like a dumpling. He was eating the lunch box his wife bought for him with a smile on his face.
When he saw Zhou Xiu coming, he sighed and said, "Xiu'er, I said it's okay. It's so expensive to call an ambulance."
Zhou Cheng felt very sad that a month's hard-earned wages were wasted.
Zhou Xiu pursed her lips and finally felt relieved.
She gave the meal to Liu Mei.
Liu Mei was not hungry. When she saw the young master of the Xi family, she vaguely understood that it was the young master Xi who called the ambulance.
She pushed the food aside, smiled stiffly and said, "Xi Shaoyuan hasn't eaten yet, has he?"
"Thank you so much. My Xiu'er just cooked the meal. It's still hot. It's so cold. Please have a bite to fill your stomach. I am so grateful to you for this."
Zhou Xiu glanced at Xi Shaoyuan, turned around and walked out the door, intending to pay the fee.
However, when she arrived at the cashier's office, she was told that the bill had already been settled. Zhou Xiu took out Zhou Cheng's medical records and registration form and asked the cashier's office to print out another list.
The invoice settlement reads: 10386.8 yuan.
Zhou Xiu took the bill, put it in his pocket, and let out a breath.
The system comforted her and said: [I still have your 70,900 yuan in reserve. 】
[Young man, you still have money.] 】
Although part of the 70,000 yuan was the remainder from selling apples, part of it was the reward paid by Tan Ming.
Zhou Xiu walked to the corridor and saw Xi Shaoyuan opened his lunch box with disgust and took a few bites of rice. After taking a few bites, he probably realized that it didn't taste very good, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Zhou Xiu stood in front of him, took out a pen from her schoolbag, and wrote a promissory note on the back of the medical bill list.
"I'll get the money back on Monday."
He glanced at the medical bill in front of him, casually took out the money Zhou Xiu had saved from his pocket, shook his hand, and said:
"Use these to offset it, Zhou Xiu——"
He cleared his throat and said calmly, "Just take what's given to you. Are you so unwilling to spend the Xi family's money?"
Xi Shaoyuan probably has never experienced the feeling of being dumped with money in his entire life. I was dumped once for 100,000 yuan, and then I was dumped again for 10,000 yuan.
It's like a brainless idol drama.
Zhou Xiu thanked Xi Shaoyuan and continued writing the IOU as usual: "No need. I don't like being misunderstood."
"My parents wouldn't like being misunderstood either."
It’s true that Zhou Xiu likes money, but she likes the money she earns herself even more.
Just because she had a prophetic dream that predicted that she would become the person who pursued Xi Shaoyuan relentlessly, Zhou Xiu had to accept that she was humble in front of Xi Shaoyuan. This was impossible.
She didn't think she would be that kind of person.
Zhou Xiu had never done these things, and she simply couldn't empathize with others' experiences when they attributed them to her.
Xi Shaoyuan looks at Zhou Xiu today from his own perspective in a parallel world.
Every time he showed a look of indifference and ridicule, Zhou Xiu was too lazy to pay attention. How can one feel guilty about something that he has never done?
The money that was stuck in the air had not been picked up by Zhou Xiu for a long time, and Xi Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment.
He casually took the IOU Zhou Xiu wrote and put it into his pocket. He put the lunch box on the stool and stood up, looking down at Zhou Xiu and said calmly:
"Okay, whatever you want."
