"What the hell?"
Du Chen stared at the application form in front of him with wide eyes, unable to react for a moment.
"It's the scholarship application form! Don't just stand there! Fill it out quickly, you have to give it to the counselor later!"
Everyone was urging Du Chen.
"No, why would I fill it out? I don't need a scholarship!"
Du Chen said to the others in dormitory 302 with a wry smile.
"Hey, Du Chen, you don't have to be polite with us. We've already got the forms for you! Fill them out quickly. You'll be able to relax a bit after receiving the scholarship. This way, you won't have to work! We've also found you a job! Helping out at the teahouse is better than moving bricks at the construction site every day, right? It might not make as much money as moving bricks, but it's easier!"
Wu Zhipeng spilled the beans and told Du Chen all their arrangements.
"Oh, thank you in advance, but you really want to split up. I really don't need money! So the scholarship should be given to students in need!"
Du Chen, feeling both amused and helpless, explained to the people in dormitory 302 that while he was grateful for their help, including the counselor's, he really didn't need to apply for a scholarship. Furthermore, as far as he knew, there were only a limited number of scholarships available. If he took up a spot, wouldn't the truly needy students have any? Du Chen couldn't do such a shameless thing.
"Hey, Du Chen, you're still embarrassed! Learn to be thick-skinned like me!"
Wang Yue used himself as an example.
"No, I really didn't lie to you! I really don't need money!"
Du Chen said to them in distress that he didn't know how to explain this matter to them, and based on their preconceived ideas, they must think that he was lying.
"Why do you go to work if you don't need money?"
"Can't I just exercise myself?"
"Then why are you so dusty every day? I can tell you do hard labor! Every day you're dirty and tired, and then you go back to the dorm and fall asleep. Is this the way to train yourself?"
Liu Pinchao angrily taught Du Chen a lesson. In his opinion, Du Chen was simply being too concerned about his reputation and suffering in return!
"Oh my God, come, let me show you that I really don't need money!"
Du Chen was forced into a corner by several people, and everyone was kind-hearted, so Du Chen could only find a way to prove himself. So he went to his locker, opened it with the key, and then took out a handbag and threw it on the bed.
"See for yourself!"
Du Chen felt a little thirsty after talking about this, so he threw his handbag on the bed and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat.
Wang Yue stood by the bed and picked up the handbag. As soon as she opened it, she found that it was full of cash. All of them were 100-yuan notes. Judging from the thickness, there were at least 18,000 yuan in the bag.
“So much money!”
Everyone asked Du Chen in surprise after seeing the cash inside.
"Um……"
Du Chen drank the water and hummed, thinking that everyone would finally believe him this time!
"Is moving bricks so profitable? Where do you do this? Can you take me with you? I can endure hardship!"
“Puff… cough cough…”
Wang Yue's words made Du Chen choke and spit out the water in his mouth. How could he make them believe that his family was not in difficulty? Why was it so difficult?
"Really? Who can make so much money carrying bricks?"
Liu Pinchao said something to Wang Yue.
"Then if you didn't make money by moving bricks, how did you make it?"
Wang Yue asked Liu Pinchao back.
"No, how can you be so sure that I'm just carrying bricks? You guys are really good at assigning me work!"
Du Chen listened to their conversation, feeling both amused and annoyed. How did he end up moving bricks? Couldn't he do anything else besides moving bricks? Was he considered a mere laborer by others?
"Then tell me where your money comes from!"
Liu Pinchao asked Du Chen suspiciously.
Countless thoughts flashed through Du Chen's mind. After weighing them carefully, he decided to say something that would have the least impact on him.
“I earned this money from writing books!”
"Tsk, Du Chen, if you're lying, at least give me a more plausible reason!"
The people in dormitory 302 booed, thinking that Du Chen would never lie.
"Tsk, I knew you wouldn't believe me! Let me show you!"
As he spoke, Du Chen took out several magazines from the cabinet, which turned out to be "Student Days". Du Chen had been plucking the wool from this sheep for a long time.
"Isn't this 'Student Days'? This is the magazine I read when I was in elementary school. Why are you still reading it now, Du Chen?"
Wu Zhipeng looked at the magazine in front of him and said with some nostalgia, then asked Du Chen with a smile, his smile full of teasing.
"Hey, Wu Zhipeng, can you still buy this magazine in Jibei? I thought it was only available in Shanjin!"
Liu Pinchao asked Wu Zhipeng curiously.
"We are from two provinces next to each other, a typical example of brothers in distress. Tell me, have you ever seen such a thing?"
"Please don't discuss this for now. Du Chen, why did you take out this magazine? Did you publish an article in it?"
Wang Yue flipped through "Student Days" and asked Du Chen, which made everyone else in dormitory 302 look at Du Chen.
"That's right, the character 'Tao Xiaotao' in the story was written by me!"
"What?! You wrote 'Tao Xiaotao'? You're not lying, are you?!"
Liu Pinchao suddenly asked Du Chen loudly, his tone full of disbelief, and his voice was so loud that it scared everyone else.
"Liu Pinchao, what's wrong with you?"
