Seeing Shuangning's serious expression, Xiao Youchen was very pleased. He reached out and hooked her nose, then took her hand. "I heard from the teacher that you seem to be first. In junior high school, the subjects are more difficult. Like the teacher said, we should strive for progress while maintaining stability! Ningning, let's work hard together in the future, okay?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Shuangning nodded vigorously in response.
"Let's go! Let's go home. I can't wait to tell my mom the good news."
"Yeah! I also have the good news that I got first place in the exam. I want to share it with mom too."
…
The two ran towards the school gate with laughter, and their laughter continued to echo in the campus.
Zhou Yu heard some familiar voices from the two people and suddenly ran out from behind the wall, scaring the two people.
"Hello! Classmate Ningning, do you have any good news? You are laughing so happily, can you share it with me, your good friend?"
Zhou Yu's appearance instantly disturbed Xiao Youchen's good mood, and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.
Xiao Youchen asked coldly: "It's so late, why don't you go back? What are you doing here?"
"I've been waiting for you here on purpose! You haven't answered me yet, what good news is that! I'm feeling incredibly down right now, my heart is bleeding. I might even get a beating when I get home later. Sharing your happy story will give me a taste of the sweetness before the bitterness!"
Zhou Yu's expression was like a chameleon, sometimes black, sometimes blue, and sometimes laughing.
Xiao Shuangning rushed ahead of Xiao Youchen and took over Zhou Yu's words, "Zhou Yu, how did you do on the exam?"
"Oh! Don't mention it. I'm last again. This year's final exam is the most ironic. The teacher used me as a negative example and criticized me harshly in front of the whole class. What's even more infuriating is that he actually compared me with your brother." Zhou Yu said angrily, his cheeks puffed up.
When Xiao Shuangning heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
One is ranked last and the other is ranked first. When put together, they are a perfect match.
Xiao Youchen also showed a smug smile. He was of course happy that Zhou Yu was humiliated in front of Xiao Shuangning. He wanted Xiao Shuangning to see Zhou Yu's true face and understand that Zhou Yu was not someone worth making close friends with.
"Look! Even you laughed at me. You can imagine how embarrassed I was in class just now. Hearing the mockery from my classmates, I wanted to find a hole to crawl into."
When he saw Xiao Shuangning smiling at him, he became even more sad and frowned.
Xiao Shuangning covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing, and apologized to Zhou Yu incoherently, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it."
"Hey! It's okay, I'm used to it. So, now you should at least let me share some of your happiness, right? Look how embarrassed I am."
Xiao Shuangning looked at Xiao Youchen and replied helplessly, "I'm afraid that what makes us happy may not be a good thing for you."
"How is that possible? Don't be so stingy. Come on, tell me. I'll treat you to ice cream." Seeing that Xiao Shuangning was a little reluctant, Zhou Yu actually thought of using ice cream to tempt her.
Xiao Shuangning was really impressed by this little ice cream, and she was drooling with greed.
"Okay then! We're happy. My brother and I both got good grades and ranked first. We were just about to go back and tell Mom the news."
"ah?"
One first place was enough to make Zhou Yu feel ashamed, and now another first place appeared. He was instantly petrified, stunned. Forget happiness, he felt like crying.
"I've already told you that even though we're happy, you might not be happy about it, and yet you insist on asking me to say it. Forget it, I won't let you treat me to ice cream either. Goodbye, we're going back."
"As a man, a word is as good as a stick. If I say I'll treat you, I have to treat you. Just wait." Zhou Yu said as he ran towards the nearby convenience store.
The two of them stood there. Xiao Shuangning didn't want to leave and planned to wait for Zhou Yu to come back. However, Xiao Youchen didn't think so and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
"Ningning, shall we go?"
"Ah? But Zhou Yu hasn't come back yet!"
"Ningning, didn't I tell you? He's not a good kid. You shouldn't have any contact with him. Besides, when I can make money in the future, I will make sure you have as much ice cream as you can, until you never want to leave again."
Xiao Shuangning looked towards the store, lowered her head, mumbled, and squeezed out two words from her lips, "Okay!"
The two walked in the opposite direction of the convenience store. Xiao Shuangning followed Xiao Youchen slowly, looking back every few steps, her eyes full of reluctance.
