Chapter 108 Admiration
"Zhou Chengyu! Wait!" Fang Hui chased after Zhou Chengyu as soon as he saw him leave the school.
"I heard you have a Rubik's Cube, which is somewhat different from the one that Master confiscated from me?" Fang Hui is currently addicted to playing with it, and every day he thinks about how to get his Rubik's Cube back from Master, but he also knows that it will be very difficult.
He originally wanted to borrow someone else's Rubik's Cube to play with, but there were hardly any people in the academy who had one. Moreover, after his Rubik's Cube was confiscated, his classmates became even more careful and had no intention of lending it to him.
Zhou Chengyu didn't interact much with Fang Hui on a regular basis. When he first arrived, Fang Hui had made fun of him with others. Although he stopped gossiping about Zhou Chengyu now that his ranking in the academy had risen, their relationship hadn't improved much.
Zhou Chengyu originally didn't intend to pay any attention to this person, but Fang Hui shamelessly followed him to the dormitory.
"Fang Hui! What are you doing here?"
You're not welcome here!
Liao Yunfei knew that Fang Hui and those rich kids had said a lot of bad things about Zhou Chengyu, so when he saw him pestering Zhou Chengyu, he just thought that he wanted to bully him again.
They hadn't helped Zhou Chengyu before because they were afraid of the trouble, but now that they had come to regard him as a brother, they naturally couldn't let Fang Hui bully him.
"I'm not here to argue with you. I want to see Zhou Chengyu's Rubik's Cube!" Fang Hui quickly explained when he was stopped at the door.
"Didn't you hear me say no? What are you still doing here? You said so many bad things about Brother Zhou back then, without even an apology, and you still want to borrow the Rubik's Cube!" Liao Yunfei was determined to get justice for Zhou Chengyu this time.
"I was wrong before! I shouldn't have spoken ill of Zhou Chengyu. I apologize to him!" Fang Hui had no choice. He thought Zhou Chengyu was an easy target, but he didn't expect him to pester him all the way and not give in. Seeing that Liao Yunfei and the others insisted on his apology before they would stop, he could only apologize to Zhou Chengyu at the door.
"Alright, goodbye and best of luck!"
"Bang!"
Fang Hui thought he could go in after apologizing, but unexpectedly, Liao Yunfei slammed the door shut in front of him after saying those words.
Fang Hui had never been tricked like this before. Enraged, he kicked the wooden door and left.
"Hahahaha... Well done! I've been wanting to get back at that kid for ages!"
"Fang Hui has finally met his match! How about it, Brother Zhou? We've finally gotten revenge for you. He's said so many bad things about you before, he deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengyu couldn't help but laugh along with them. He hadn't made a scene with those people before because he was at the academy, since he arrived late and didn't have any companions. Now he could finally vent his anger.
"He hangs out with those rich kids, so he must come from a good family. If we do this to him, will he retaliate?"
"No, he's eyeing Brother Zhou's Rubik's Cube right now. Let's make him suffer a few more times, then let Brother Zhou lend him the Rubik's Cube. That'll surely appease him!" Liao Yunfei was quick-witted and had already come up with a solution when he did this.
"Let's go to Haowei Restaurant for dinner tomorrow during the weekend. None of us have had a proper meal yet! It's on me!"
"That's more like it!"
Zhou Chengyu was surprised that they had chosen Haowei Restaurant as their dining venue, and said, "If we're going to Haowei Restaurant, then it's my treat."
“How can that be? Your family… don’t force yourself. Let’s all get together for a meal. The food there isn’t expensive,” one of the classmates said, thinking of Zhou Chengyu’s situation, and quickly stopped him from saying anything more.
“Haowei Restaurant is owned by my family. Although my family is of modest means, I can still afford to treat them to a meal,” Zhou Chengyu said, which also showed his approval of these classmates. Seeing that they were of good character, he also had the idea of befriending them, so he naturally wouldn’t hide these things from them.
"What? You own Good Taste Restaurant? Brother Zhou, you're really tight-lipped!"
"That restaurant has great food and is cheap. All the students in our academy like to eat there. I never expected it to be your family's restaurant. The cooking is really good!"
"Um, cough... is that girl who paid the bill your sister?" Liao Yunfei had been praising her quite convincingly at first, but when he said the last sentence, he seemed a little hesitant.
"She's my sister. Why are you asking this?" Zhou Chengyu originally thought he was so excited because he liked the food at the restaurant, but he didn't expect him to talk about his sister.
"It's nothing... Come to think of it, you and your sister are quite alike!" Liao Yunfei quickly changed his tune when he saw his expression change.
“Of course, we are twins, so it’s normal for us to look alike,” Zhou Chengyu said, his expression softening as he explained.
"Brother Liao, it's just a meal, why are you all dressed like this..." Zhou Chengyu noticed that they had changed their clothes several times. The clothes in the academy were usually plain-colored, but he didn't expect them to have specially chosen brighter colors.
"After leaving the academy, I always want to try some different styles. Don't worry about us, Brother Zhou, we'll be fine soon," Liao Yunfei said, changing into his most treasured clothes. He was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that he should have brought more nice clothes with him.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Good Taste Restaurant, it was already full of customers, and the group was immediately disappointed.
“You’re back. These three must be the friends you mentioned. Mother has reserved a table for you. Brother, please take them over,” Zhou Chengzhu greeted Zhou Chengyu.
"Ahem! This must be Brother Zhou's sister. I've been to this restaurant several times before and I didn't recognize her. I'm so sorry!" Liao Yunfei suddenly changed his demeanor, abandoning his usual carefree attitude and becoming exceptionally polite.
"It was our mistake, Miss Zhou, please don't be offended!" The other two followed suit.
"No, no, please go in quickly!" Zhou Chengzhu didn't expect these scholars to be so polite to her suddenly. They used to never even look at her properly. She thought these scholars looked down on her. It was strange that they had changed their attitude today.
"You all come with me first!" If Zhou Chengyu still couldn't see their intentions by now, he would be a fool. He didn't care about etiquette anymore and dragged them over.
"How dare you harbor ill intentions towards my sister! I even considered you my friends!" Zhou Chengyu led them to the backyard and began to curse.
“Brother Zhou! We didn’t know she was your sister before. Miss Zhou is so capable and beautiful, there are so many scholars in our academy who like her! You can’t blame us for having such thoughts!” Liao Yunfei quickly explained.
"Yes, you didn't see it. When they came to Miss Zhou, they didn't even dare to look her in the eye, and they couldn't even speak properly!"
"Don't worry, we are all upright gentlemen and would never harm Miss Zhou's reputation!"
“No way! You still want to pursue her? My sister was almost killed by that Jiang guy, and her reputation was almost ruined. If you pull this stunt again, you can forget about coming to this restaurant in the future.” Zhou Chengyu was unmoved. He was still in shock when Zhou Chengzhu and Song Yushu were suddenly arrested and imprisoned.
