aware
After the list was updated, Shen Chu did not expect this result.
Although Xie Shiming was only a few points behind him, but...he actually passed Xie Shiming this time?
He? Passed Xie Shiming?!
"Why are you so surprised?"
A question came from the side and a hand rubbed his head.
Shen Chu turned his head and looked over, pursing his lips: "Then you think... shouldn't I be surprised?"
"I told you before that I was stupid..."
Rather than being talented, he is a hard-working person.
Even though he had the golden finger of rebirth and had never fallen behind in his studies after coming back for so many years, Shen Chu didn't think he could pass Xie Shiming...
Moreover, compared to his previous mentality of studying hard, this time when he returned to his childhood, he has been more casual and did not spend all his energy on studying like before. Although he knew that his grades would definitely not be bad, he really never thought that he could compare with Xie Shiming.
"It's a surprise, but I'm not surprised at all."
Xie Shiming looked at Chen Chu and said seriously——
"You have been abroad for so many years, visited so many places, seen so many sights, and learned a lot from Uncle Xiang. These practical experiences and the experience gained in each place have become your accumulation invisibly. The world you have seen is different from that of many people, Chuchu."
“Why do you still feel like you’re not good enough?”
Xie Shiming tapped Shen Chu's forehead, more gently than ever.
“When investigating the terrain, you need to survey and map it. When you go out, you need to communicate. The cultural landscapes, material customs, people and things you see in different places are no longer rigid book knowledge.”
Shen Chu lowered his head and touched his forehead unconsciously, feeling as if there was some heat somewhere.
I didn’t dare look up at Xie Shiming again.
Hearing these words actually moved him more emotionally than the moment he learned his results and ranking.
The eagerness and warmth all fermented into streams of unknown gas, bubbling in his heart, making it impossible to ignore.
Xie Shiming noticed the red tip of Shen Chu's ears, and couldn't help but feel moved——
“Hahaha! Go check the forums. People from Yubei don’t dare to speak out, right?!”
The inexplicable atmosphere was interrupted, and Shen Chu immediately raised his head and looked at Qi Yuansi.
Without a doubt, he knew that Yubei was also waiting for updates on the results and rankings.
Shen Chu didn't care about anything else.
But compared to all this, the bet between him and Xie Junze finally came to an end.
Thinking of this, Shen Chu couldn't help but look at Xie Shiming with sparkling eyes.
He didn't say anything, but he seemed to be asking for credit for something.
Why don't you praise me?!
Xie Shiming smiled, lowered his head and leaned closer to Shen Chu, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you Chuchu."
The warm breath blew beside my ears, like lighting a small flame.
The temperature was obviously not hot enough, but it made Shen Chu feel like his ears were about to be burned.
He wanted to "hide" again -
Hurry up and do something so that he can pretend to be distracted...
Shen Chu subconsciously looked at Qi Yuansi again.
Xie Shiming turned his head and glared at Qi Yuansi.
Qi Yuansi: “???”
Compared with the atmosphere in Nanhong, the atmosphere in Yubei can be described as depressing.
Especially the class that Jian Yan and Xie Junze were in...
Once the results were released and the list was updated, almost all of those who had spoken were speechless and didn't know what to say.
Among them, the most difficult to accept and unbelievable one must be Xie Junze.
He thought that Shen Chu's grades should not be bad.
But he never thought that Shen Chu's grades could be so good.
Even...not only him, he also surpassed Xie Shiming and Jian Yan.
Why?
What he can't do... Why?!
Didn't Chen Chu go abroad a long time ago? !
Why did he do so well in the exam...
Xie Junze was still staring at the updated score list, still not daring to believe it with his own eyes, or rather, unwilling to believe it... His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of anything.
After a while, a light laugh was heard -
Jian Yan packed up his schoolbag and stood up, looking towards Xie Junze: "Don't forget the previous bet."
"Xie Junze, you must accept the defeat if you lose the bet."
"Of course, you probably can't deny it now even if you want to."
Jian Yan laughed again, then turned and left.
He was too lazy to look at Xie Junze's face, which was as ugly as it could be, and Jian Zizhuo on the other side.
Don't think that he couldn't guess who was behind this forum incident. As a result, he ended up losing more than he gained, and instead helped Shen Chu gain fame.
But if we talk about unlucky people, Xie Junze is the most unlucky one.
Just like the intention of forcing Shen Chu to give money at the beginning——
Now that the bet was brought to the surface, with an unexpected turn of events, Shen Chu even won the bet. Naturally, Xie Junze couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
As for Xie Wenyong...
It wasn't just a verbal agreement at the beginning, they also made an agreement.
Even if Xie Wenyong wants to deny it, he can't do so this time.
Unless he wants to go in again.
The make-up exam is over, the results and rankings are updated, and this month's mock exam has finally come to an end.
Not to mention the series of subsequent reactions caused by this incident, winning this bet and getting justice for the deceased is worth more than anything else.
but......
When Chen Chu returned to the old house, he saw that everyone was there, and he almost didn't dare to step in.
Shen Songguo, Shen Mingzhou and Su Luoyue, as well as Shen Shuo, Shen Yi in the tablet, and Shen Sui who came back from school... six people, never have they been so complete before!
Still looking at him.
Shen Sui even turned the tablet on the coffee table towards him so that Shen Yi could see it.
......
The atmosphere was a bit bad.
Shen Chu subconsciously shrank his neck and laughed dryly: "What are you doing? Wait for my brother and I to come back so that we can play two mahjong tables?"
"Are you still poor?"
Shen Yi sneered on the other side of the screen: "If I wasn't in the middle of filming, do you believe I would go back and beat you up right now?"
"What did I do..."
Shen Chu muttered quietly, very unconvinced.
But I only dared to speak in a low voice.
Then he couldn't help but glance at Xie Shiming.
Help me!
"What are you looking at, baby?"
Before the glance could be conveyed, it was caught by Su Luoyue.
Gah——
The signal is interrupted.
Su Luoyue crossed her arms and said, "We all got to admire your heroic figure today."
"Baby, you're amazing."
"......"
I dare not reply...
Shen Chu subconsciously put his hands behind his back like he did when he was a child, and leaned closer to Xie Shiming.
"We only knew that you went to look for someone before, and it turns out that you saved him despite the danger. This is a good thing, but..."
Su Luoyue looked at Xie Shiming again: "Mingming, why didn't you tell your mother?"
"Your brother risked his life to save others. Tell them about it so that your family can praise him."
Xie Shiming: “…”
Oh no, relying on Xie Shiming is no use anymore.
Shen Chu scratched on his toes.
He knew that his family would definitely see the video.
Really.
He never thought that the video would be leaked, otherwise he would have confessed long ago...
In the end, he told everything except this matter. Now, the whole family is interrogating him together.
"cough."
Shen Chu cleared his throat and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xie Shiming——
"I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't mention Chuchu saving people."
"I don't think there's anything to mention. Just find the person and save him."
Shen Sui pushed his glasses and said, "You are typical of those who only report good news to their families but not bad news."
"It has already happened, there is no point in talking about it anymore."
"There's no point rushing forward when you encounter danger."
"It's an emergency, there's no time to think too much."
Shen Sui nodded: "That's true."
"But some things don't make sense in front of family members."
Xie Shiming hummed: "I know you are worried about Chuchu and me, and you are also afraid."
"I will protect him in the future."
"It won't let him get hurt at all."
Shen Chu lowered his head and didn’t dare to look up.
Chen Mingzhou nodded with satisfaction. Su Luoyue was startled when she heard the last two sentences. She felt like something was wrong, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was nothing.
After all, these two children were very close.
She was so happy that they could get along like this.
Shen Songguo didn't think it was a big deal, but Shen Shuo, who had been silent, glanced at Xie Shiming, and then looked at Shen Chu, who lowered his head even more than before.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the hug he saw in the office that day.
Now listen to this...
Thinking of this, he suddenly met Xie Shiming's eyes——
Shen Shuo looked over and Xie Shiming did not dodge.
How come his brother...
Chen Shuo seemed to have noticed something and was inevitably surprised, but when he wanted to look more carefully, he saw Xie Shiming looking away again.
We have to wait a little longer.
Xie Shiming thought.
It's not the right time yet.
At least he wasn't sure yet.
So I can’t let my family know.
But I can give you a hint first.
He was afraid that he would scare people.
After all, for so long, in the eyes of others, they have been "brothers".
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. There are other things."
Shen Songguo took the lead in speaking, asking them to be careful about safety in whatever they do in the future, and then changed the topic to something else -
"The government intends to take the lead in the project that Shen has been involved in recently, and select two groups in the north and south to take over."
"The company in South City has been decided."
Shen Mingzhou and Shen Shuo hummed, this was something they had not expected.
After all, they were fighting to the point of being "broken head and bloodied", but they didn't expect that things would change at the last moment.
Not only did there change, but the first one to be decided was actually a company in South City.
They haven't reached a conclusion yet.
"Qiao Jiaxuan, this young friend from South City has managed to contact me through his connections."
"Can you contact me, Dad?"
Shen Mingzhou’s face couldn’t hide his surprise: “Why did he contact you?”
This project is of great importance. After the south was decided, the person in charge of the other party came here in person. As far as Shen Mingzhou knows, this person has only been in City B for a short time, right?
They haven't settled down here yet, so how come they found the Shen family?
What does this mean?
Shen Songguo also looked a little puzzled: "He said he wanted to come over to give me a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
