Chapter 1302 Preference
Old Li boasted to the others behind him about his experience in acquiring Zhou Enyou, his prized disciple. He smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Nothing, nothing. It was just a surprise. Some things look difficult, but they're actually very simple. Find the right method, and it's not difficult at all."
Zhou Enyou closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Qin Chuli stood aside, staring at her with his pretty big eyes, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Enyou glanced at him.
I thought to myself, what’s wrong?
You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong!
Zhou Enyou walked towards the professor angrily, but when he was almost at the professor's door, he deliberately slowed down and waited for someone.
Qin Chuli looked at the man's slender back from behind and smiled faintly.
Hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
In the next class, there was an in-class test. Old Li was busy, so he handed a thick stack of papers to Zhou Enyou and asked her to sit at the podium and write the papers herself while he supervised the test.
Old Li was a very casual person. He took the test paper and left.
Zhou Enyou drew two papers, asked Qin Chuli to sit on the other side of the long table, and then handed the papers out. When the bell rang, the people below passed the papers around.
The male students in the class who liked Zhou Enyou were very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
It would be fine for Qin Chuli to sit next to Zhou Enyou on weekdays.
Now that the news has fermented to this extent, Qin Chuli himself still doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. These people are jealous and are slandering him coldly.
"Oh my god, is he so high-profile? He asked him to sit on the podium, and he actually went up."
"There are all kinds of people. If you don't have any self-awareness and don't look at your own kind, how can you be worthy of Zhou Enyou's protection?"
"That's right. On normal days, I sit next to Zhou Enyou with such a thick face. Zhou Enyou can't say anything. But now, if it were me, I wouldn't even have the face to come to school."
"Tsk~ What do you know? The bottom line of bastards is very low!"
"And did you see that up front? The teacher called Zhou Enyou out, but Qin Chuli shamelessly went out too. He even asked Old Li for a graduate application form, forcing Zhou Enyou to sign it along with him. Zhou Enyou had been hesitant before."
"Oh my god! Qin Chuli is so shameless!"
"And you didn't see it just now, Qin Chuli deliberately walked behind Zhou Enyou, just waiting for people to coax him. I'm simply amazed, Qin Chuli relies on his pretty face to dare to do anything!"
"Zhou Enyou is a good person! That's why I coaxed him. Qin Chuli is pushing his luck. He's shameless! Everyone has the right to kill him!"
Zhou Enyou sat on the podium, and every word the people below said fell into her ears.
Before she entered school, there were many people who were dissatisfied with her, but she never argued about anything. Family background, power, privilege, teacher's favoritism, there were always things people could talk about.
People who are not from the same circle or the same level, there is no need to talk at cross purposes.
However, today, when Zhou Enyou heard them say this, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
I don't want to hear a word.
She quickly wrote down the answer to a question, and as the comments below became increasingly outrageous, she slowly spoke, "Some students love gossiping so much, why don't they stand up on the stage and speak?"
She continued to answer the questions with her head down, the tip of her pen landing forcefully on the paper. She said calmly, "I originally thought there was no need to start this conversation, but since everyone is so interested, I'll say it. Those who want to answer the questions can continue, and those who don't want to, you can all listen. I have nothing to be afraid of, and I'm not afraid to say anything either."
Qin Chuli glanced sideways and saw Zhou Enyou flipping the paper over and seriously scribbling on the scratch paper. Although it was an in-class test, the questions were difficult, but Zhou Enyou managed to multitask. He said in a relaxed tone, "You want to hear me and Qin Chuli talk? Then let's talk today."
After Zhou Enyou finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Chuli and asked, "Can you speak?"
Qin Chuli nodded.
Zhou Enyou smiled and lowered his head to answer the question again.
The pen tip landed on the white paper, and Zhou Enyou said slowly, "I have known Qin Chuli before, even before I knew you two."
The students on the stage raised their eyes in a flash, stopped answering questions, and all looked at Zhou Enyou intently.
Zhou Enyou was doing math on a piece of scratch paper, saying, "My memory isn't very good, but I vaguely remember seeing him when I was a child. It's not surprising. It's normal to remember such a handsome boy."
Zhou Enyou learned this in the college entrance examination competition class. He was very fast at solving questions and had an excellent ability to read ten lines at a glance.
Her hands moved quickly, not affecting her speech at all. "The next time we met was at my mother's wedding. He was wearing a well-tailored suit. He was tall, long-legged, with a narrow waist and a broad chest. Among a bunch of dandy rich second-generations, he stood out..."
Zhou Enyou paused, as if weighing his words. "Yao Zhi, yes, that's Yao Zhi. He's not the gentle, jade-like type. He's incredibly handsome, with striking features. At the time, many of the women around me, even those with tens of millions, wanted to meet him."
"I was busy at the time, so I only caught a glimpse from a distance and remembered it immediately. So when I saw those eyes on the first day of school, I remembered them right away."
"Actually, mixed-bloods are quite common in our circle, but I just think he's so beautiful, like the brightest pearl in the night sky."
"After I found out he was a classmate, I immediately decided to make friends with him. I've always been quite rational when it comes to making friends."
Zhou Enyou turned to the second page of the test paper, wrote his name, and continued answering questions.
"I'm surrounded by many people, all pursuing different goals. People in my class also say that I'm enthusiastic, but I feel distant. I don't deny that, but he's the first person I decided to be friends with the first time I met him."
"I really wanted to pull him into my world. One time he called me and I was at home. I lied to others and asked him to come and play with me."
Qin Chuli paused to write, listening to something that even he himself didn't know.
"He's here. I went to pick him up specially. I just want to tell my family that I value this friend very much. I brought him into my life. Please take good care of him."
"I knew he wasn't talkative, and I was worried he'd feel awkward. So before they came, I specifically told my family that my new friend was shy and asked everyone to be more natural. I'd never put so much thought into anyone before, and my uncle Yan made fun of me for a long time."
"I'm not in a position to discuss Qin Chuli's family. Everyone has their own reasons, but I want to say that you're not in this circle, so you don't know the pressures involved. You only see the glitz and glamour on the outside. The twists and turns inside are even more dramatic than the soap operas you watch. Everyone has their ups and downs."
"You don't understand how difficult it is for him, but you're all around 20 years old. While you're studying hard, he's already having to deal with online bullying. It shouldn't be hard to understand the difficulties he's going through."
"Also, I was given the graduate student application form that Lao Li gave me. I didn't agree at first, but after seeing Qin Chuli sign it, I signed it. I wanted to be in the same lab with him, and no one forced me. No one could force me to do something I didn't want to do."
Qin Chuli's hand holding the pen trembled.
"Want to ask why?"
"He's a quiet guy. He doesn't complain when he's bullied. He's too naive and doesn't care about anything. I'm afraid he'll get bullied once he gets in. Old Li said there are a lot of girls in there, and I'm also afraid some bad girl will seduce Qin Chuli away. And then this idiot will smile and help count the money. It's so sad to think about that. I didn't want to do anything either, so I just signed along."
"Before entering, I deliberately waited for him. I told him he was stupid. He made me angry, so I should comfort him."
"I'm not afraid of being criticized," Zhou Enyou said as he finished his last question. "It doesn't matter what you say. Really, no matter how much you say, it won't have any effect on me. It's not that I'm confident, it's just that I have this kind of capital. It's useless for you to object."
"My grades are good, and I'm liked by teachers. Just like Qin Chuli, he just pleases me and makes me feel distressed. You can say I'm obsessed with looks, but with his face and figure, you should have one if you can."
"That's right, I, Zhou Enyou, just fall for it."
Zhou Enyou put his pen tip on the last question, put a period, and finished the entire test paper.
"Oh, then I seemed to remember something. Actually, a long time before that wedding, Qin Chuli came to me and wanted to help plan my parents' wedding. I refused at the time. My mother saved the old man, and he must be grateful. After so many years, he can still remember my mother's kindness. I don't believe that he is a heartless person."
"That's about all I have to say today. Not only do I say this in class, I also say this outside."
Zhou Enyou put down his pen and stood up, looking at a timid classmate in the back row. "Classmate, yes, it's you. Don't hide it. Record a video and post it on the forum."
"That's what I, Zhou Enyou, said."
"I am good to Qin Chuli and will always treat him well. Don't accuse me of coaxing him or him sticking to me. I am happy with it."
Qin Chuli could no longer write and put down his pen. In front of everyone, he could hardly control his pride.
If you look closely, the puppy's eyes are a little red.
Qin Chuli knew Zhou Enyou. She was very smart and noble by nature. She never bothered to explain anything and was too lazy to be high-profile. But today, for his sake, she actually spoke up.
Seeing Zhou Enyou being so frank, someone in the audience couldn't help but ask, "Enyou, aren't you afraid that Qin Chuli's etiquette will affect you?"
Zhou Enyou smiled. "Affect me? How can it affect me? How can it affect me? How can Old Li still not want me? That's perfect. I'll take out Qin Chuli's application form as well. I still need to think about it."
Some people below laughed, thinking that Zhou Enlai was a bit arrogant, but also that she was dazzling and eye-catching.
Just like she said, she has the capital.
It's not just because of what her family has given her, but also because she is outstanding enough.
Another classmate said, "But people outside are saying that Qin Chuli is not a good person."
"Whether it's good or not, you can judge for yourself," Zhou Enyou said. "Qin Chuli has been our classmate for so long. Has he ever embarrassed anyone? He never said a harsh word. Now let's see if you can sit there in silence when your classmate insults you like that to your face."
"Besides, why should we care about them? They are just keyboard warriors. Qin Chuli is our classmate, we have to protect him. How can we be considered good students if we bully our classmate who is not good at speaking?"
When the people in the audience heard this, some began to nod.
There were also boys with red necks, raising their hands and asking, "Zhou Enyou, then, can other boys sit next to you?"
Zhou Enyou smiled and admitted more frankly, "Okay, didn't I just say it?" Zhou Enyou pointed at Qin Chuli who was standing beside him, "With his appearance and soft temper, I've been coaxing him. Why don't we be frank? He's obsessed with looks."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Forget it before, we didn't know each other that well," Zhou Enyou said with a smile: "Now he is not Mr. Qin, not the heir of the Qin family, but Qin Chuli. I hope everyone will treat him like an ordinary classmate. It's not easy for a little boy. He left home alone and didn't get the love of his classmates. He would become withdrawn. What a handsome guy, he looks so good when he smiles, but with a cold face, he's freezing, right?"
The lower head laughed out loud again.
Zhou Enyou glanced at the time and walked to the podium with a smile, "Okay, collect the papers."
Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the blank test paper in front of them. For a moment, there was widespread wailing, but it could not stop Zhou Enyou's ruthlessness.
Finally, everyone watched Zhou Enyou accept Qin Chuli's paper. Someone asked with a smile, "Why are you accepting the class flower's paper too? Why don't you give him a little backdoor? If he gets angry later, we'll have to comfort him."
This is addictive.
Zhou Enyou accepted Qin Chuli's paper, which only had a few small questions on it, and laughed, "It's fine if you listen to my gossip, but he listens to it himself too. What kind of person is he? Besides, with my looks, am I only good enough to be the class flower?"
The audience laughed and responded, "School Prince! He must be the school prince!"
Zhou Enyou smiled at Qin Chuli and said, "School Prince, I've collected the papers. If you're unhappy, I'll come back to comfort you."
Everyone laughed at the bottom, and a few female classmates lowered their heads shyly and said embarrassedly: "Let's laugh too."
Qin Chuli felt embarrassed for a rare time. Looking at the bright Zhou Enyou, his heart ached.
No one would dislike such a frank and passionate girl.
No one in the class posted the video on the forum. Just like Zhou Enyou said, the students in the class have to protect themselves.
They don't want Zhou Enyou or Qin Chuli to be talked about anymore.
After the third class.
Zhou Enyou was pulling out books when a few female classmates came over. They first walked to Zhou Enyou's side, timidly hid the things in their hands behind their backs, and whispered to Zhou Enyou, "Class monitor, can you help us pass a love letter to Qin Chuli?"
Zhou Enyou nearly choked to death on a sip of water. He sighed, put the cup away, and then muttered, "I'm really impressed. The end result of me risking my life to protect someone is to pass on a love letter."
Qin Chuli sat in his seat in a relaxed posture, listening to Zhou Enyou's small talk and smiling.
He said to the girls: "Thank you, but I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."
Zhou Enyou nearly spit out another mouthful of water as he gossiped with a few girls, "Who?"
Classmate A: "Is he from our class?"
Classmate B: "Is she pretty?"
Qin Chuli looked straight at Zhou Enyou. In the knowing eyes of the other female classmates, Zhou Enyou himself was extremely ignorant.
She grew up hanging out with boys, so she has very few thoughts as a daughter.
There is only the taciturn Liu Shuyi around me, what can she understand?
All I know is that I am a face lover.
Zhou Enyou was completely unaware and took another sip of water before asking Qin Chuli, "Are you writing a love letter? If you're too embarrassed to give it to a girl, I'll pass it to you."
The looks of the girls watching Qin Chuli from the side went from admiration at first, to shock later, and finally to bewilderment, and then -
Only sympathy remains.
Qin Chuli also shook his head helplessly, and with a smile, he put his fingertips on Zhou Enyou's forehead as he leaned forward, "Give me your head."
Zhou Enyou curled his lips, looked up, and met a group of female classmates who said, "Great, I have no chance, my teeth are sore."
