Du Chen thought to himself that if he said he didn't know him, he would be exposed sooner or later, but he was afraid of getting into trouble if he told Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang.
"What is this, Du Chen? Tell me!"
While Du Chen was still thinking about it, Zhao Pengfei couldn't help but ask Du Chen.
"Yes, I know him!"
After some thought, Du Chen decided to tell them. Since it was impossible to hide this, and one lie would require countless lies to cover it up, it was too much trouble. At worst, he could just keep Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang from telling anyone, though keeping it secret was a bit difficult for Zhao Pengfei, who was the loudmouth.
"Du Chen, do you really know him? What's your relationship?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen in surprise. He didn't expect that the thing he had been longing for for a long time would have a result from Du Chen.
"That's my brother, Du Bin! My dear brother!"
Hearing Du Chen's words, Li Qiang nodded secretly. His guess was indeed correct. From childhood to adulthood, Du Chen was the first person with the surname Du he had met, and he also knew that Du Chen had an older brother. So it was very likely that the other person with the surname Du that Zhao Pengfei mentioned was related to Du Chen.
"Really, Du Chen, can you show us the astronomical telescope?"
Zhao Pengfei said to Du Chen excitedly.
"Zhao Pengfei, keep your voice down!"
Listening to Zhao Pengfei's loud voice, Du Chen couldn't help but feel a headache. Fortunately, it was time for get out of class to end and the class was noisy, so no one noticed here.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down!"
Zhao Pengfei covered his mouth to indicate that he must speak more quietly, while Li Qiang on the other side was looking at Du Chen expectantly. Obviously, Li Qiang was also very interested in astronomical telescopes.
"It's fine for me to take you two to see the telescope, but I have a request!"
Du Chen looked at the two people's expectant eyes and put forward his request.
"You say it, you say it, and we will definitely do it!"
Before Li Qiang could open his mouth, Zhao Pengfei had already made a promise to Du Chen.
"Go away, the person I trust the least is you, you loud speaker!"
Looking at Zhao Pengfei, whose mouth was faster than his brain, Du Chen couldn't help but complain about him, while Li Qiang laughed out loud.
Ignoring Zhao Pengfei's aggrieved look, Du Chen spoke to the two of them.
"It's fine for me to take you to see the astronomical telescope, but you must help me keep this secret and not tell anyone else!"
"Why, Du Chen? Wouldn't it be better to tell others?"
Zhao Pengfei didn't understand Du Chen's idea. If it were him, he would definitely show off to the classmates around him. Why not do such a proud thing?
"Do you think everyone wants the same thing as you? I think Du Chen must be afraid of trouble!"
Li Qiang spoke from the side.
"What's the trouble?"
"Are you happy that your house is bustling with people every day?"
"What fun! It's so lively and nice!"
"Okay, you're awesome!"
Li Qiang summarized the conversation between the two.
"It's not easy for your parents to raise you to this age!"
Du Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, don't ask why. Anyway, if you want to see the astronomical telescope, remember what I said. You must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else! Otherwise, you won't get any benefits in the future!"
Seeing Zhao Pengfei still wanting to speak, Du Chen quickly spoke up, otherwise, this topic would never end. Zhao Pengfei would always defeat you with his innocence.
"Du Chen, that..."
"Shut up! If you want to look into the telescope, shut up!"
Although he didn't know what Zhao Pengfei wanted to say, Du Chen decisively told Zhao Pengfei to shut up.
"Zhao Pengfei, just shut up! Be careful, or Du Chen won't let you use the telescope!"
Li Qiang couldn't help but speak to Zhao Pengfei. As Zhao Pengfei's deskmate, he also felt helpless. Although Zhao Pengfei didn't have any bad intentions, he couldn't stand Zhao Pengfei's nagging.
"All right!"
As soon as Zhao Pengfei spoke, he saw Du Chen and Li Qiang staring at him fiercely. Zhao Pengfei was so scared that he immediately covered his mouth.
…
At noon, Du Chen cleverly ran out of the classroom early. He was afraid that Zhao Pengfei would hold him back and talk him into incessant chatter. However, he couldn't escape the temptation. As soon as the school bell rang that evening, before the teacher had even left the classroom, Zhao Pengfei grabbed Du Chen's clothes.
"Du Chen, I guess you want to run after school! Why don't you run now!"
Zhao Pengfei said to Du Chen proudly.
"open!"
"No! Why are you running?"
"Don't you know why I'm running? Besides, why did you catch me? Don't you want to look into the telescope?"
"I caught you because I was afraid you would run away! I just wanted to ask you when you would take Li Qiang and me to your house to see the astronomical telescope."
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
"What did you tell me?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen puzzledly.
"I should have told you that we can't see it today. The astronomical telescope is being brought to my brother's class. Their homeroom teacher is planning to show the whole class the astronomical telescope!"
Du Chen also forgot whether he had told Zhao Pengfei about it. The main reason was that Zhao Pengfei always asked him a series of questions, which made his head full of Zhao Pengfei's chattering, so he didn't pay much attention to other things.
"Ask Li Qiang, you really didn't say that!"
"Du Chen, you really haven't said this!"
Li Qiang looked at Du Chen's inquiring eyes, nodded and told Du Chen that he had indeed not said that.
"Ah, Zhao Pengfei, you only need to worry for a day or two! Anyway, you will let him see it, and it won't take more than a week, I promise, that should be fine, right?"
Du Chen said to Zhao Pengfei in a somewhat embarrassed and angry manner.
"That's what you said, no more than a week!"
Hearing Du Chen's assurance, Zhao Pengfei released his hand that was holding Du Chen's clothes.
"Yes, that's right, I said it! Are you relieved? I have to leave for something!"
After saying that, Du Chen picked up his schoolbag and ran out of the classroom. After arguing with Zhao Pengfei for a while, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were probably waiting for him at the school gate.
"Chenchen, why are you out so late today?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen curiously. Usually Du Chen came out earlier than him and Ding Miaomiao, and Du Chen usually waited for him and Ding Miaomiao.
"It's all because of you!"
Speaking of this, Du Chen was full of resentment.
"What does it have to do with me? I haven't seen you all morning!"
Du Bin is unwilling to take the blame.
"Today, the chatty classmate behind me mentioned the astronomical telescope. Then he realized you were my brother and insisted I take him back to the store to see the astronomical telescope!"
"Ah? Am I already that famous? Do all you first graders know me?"
Du Bin asked Du Bin happily, completely ignoring Du Chen's increasingly sour expression.
"Du Bin! I guess I should have Dad have a good chat with your class teacher when I go deliver the astronomical telescope tonight!"
