Chapter 105 The Unlucky Guys Around the Chosen One - The Unlucky Brother is Heavy...
Si Ping's arrival brought many changes to this family.
The addition of a few light dishes to the dinner table was just the beginning. More things followed, such as medical check-ups, purchasing various household items, setting up a new study for Si Ping, and taking a family photo, all of which made the family more lively than before.
The situation was equally lively back home. With Si Ping's departure, the Si family's old house had undergone significant changes. The villagers' pointing fingers and gossip, along with Si Ping's father's sudden demand for the return of their savings and house, finally made the pampered and spoiled Si family members realize just how important Si Ping and his family were to them.
Of all of them, only Uncle Si was barely managing to keep going with his job, working sporadically. His monthly income wasn't even enough to cover daily expenses, so he had to spend his savings to try and maintain his original lifestyle.
But it hurts to spend this kind of money. Things that they used to buy casually and have their youngest son/brother reimburse them for now have to be paid for out of their own pockets. They can't bear to spend thousands or tens of thousands of yuan just to buy food and other necessities, so they have finally started to save money and be frugal.
The family's finances suddenly became tight, and even the two children noticed.
Looking at the home-cooked meals on the table, and then at the dwindling nutritional supplements, the decline in every aspect of life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—is like being cut with a dull knife; not fatal, but certainly causing prolonged suffering.
Looking back on the days when they thought Si Ping was a burden and couldn't stand him, they suddenly realized that their good days before were actually all thanks to Si Ping.
Now that Si Ping has been taken back by his parents, Si's father is too lazy to care about his family, and the villagers are no longer willing to please them who have become estranged from Si's father. Suddenly, Si's uncle and others, who have become unpopular, can no longer get any benefits from Si Ping.
With Si Qingshan about to take the college entrance exam, they had thought that since Si Qi's father was doing so well in Jiang Province, arranging a good school for his nephew shouldn't be a problem. But now, it wasn't so easy to ask.
Uncle Si looked worried and, after thinking it over, could only urge his parents to try to mend their relationship with his younger brother.
In the original timeline, if Si Ping's father didn't know about what Si Ping had gone through, he would have helped his relatives back home if they could, which would have pushed his relationship with Si Ping further and further apart.
Now, Si Ping's father has a very good impression of Si Ping, not only because Si Ping is a genius student they are proud of, but also because Si Ping is kind to him at home, and he is moved to tears. The family feels more and more sorry for Si Ping and is angry that their relatives back home have mistreated him like this.
In this situation, Si's grandparents called, not mentioning at all what they had done to Si Ping, and only wanted Si's father to help his nephew with the problem of going to university. How could Si's father be in a good mood?
"He's pampered and waited on hand and foot at home, yet he can't even afford to go to university?" Si's father sneered. "My son doesn't even get enough to eat every day, but he can speak fluent English and get perfect scores in every subject!"
Grandma Si was furious after being rebuked by her youngest son: "When did Si Ping ever get a perfect score? He's just a bookworm who only knows how to study!"
"So not only do you not feed my son properly, you don't even know how his studies are going." Father Si's face grew increasingly gloomy.
No wonder when Si's father called his family before, his parents always said how bad Si Ping was, that he just ate and slept all day and was lazy and a good-for-nothing. They never praised Si Ping as a top student in front of him. It turns out that's why!
The more Si's father thought about it, the angrier he became, and his expression turned completely hostile: "I'll treat Si Qingshan the same way you treat Si Ping. Why is it that you never care about Si Ping's grades, but I have to worry about which university Si Qingshan goes to? Does he deserve it? Does he have any shame?"
"How dare you speak like that!!" Grandma Si's voice was shrill as she angrily held the phone and berated her husband for being an unfilial son, saying some very hurtful things.
But Si's father didn't care at all. He felt no shame at all after hearing this. Instead, he coldly mocked him, "Yes, I am unfilial. From now on, let your elder brother take care of you. Don't expect me to give you a penny more."
After saying that, he slammed down the phone, added the number to his blacklist, and within seconds forgot about his parents and older brother, going off to do his work.
The Si family grandparents, who were suddenly hung up on and blocked, were speechless.
Although they complained that Si's father was an unfilial son and not as considerate as his eldest son, they really didn't think that Si's father, who gave so much money, was unfilial!
If Si's father really abandons them and stops giving them money, how will they survive in the future?
Relying on that eldest son who only talks the talk?
The more Si's grandparents thought about it, the more anxious they became, and they couldn't help but accuse each other of neglecting Si Ping before, shifting blame onto one another. The once harmonious and peaceful family, now free of its only source of discord, had descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, Mr. Si was happily busy with a lot of work before heading home to see his two sons.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his younger son and older son sitting side by side at the table. The younger one casually took out a stack of exercise books from his schoolbag and started scanning the questions like a bulldozer. At that speed, Mr. Si almost thought that the answers were just randomly filled in.
Although it's okay to fill in anything randomly, Mr. Si never expected his youngest son to be number one in his grade, but this behavior cannot be ignored. Mr. Si coughed lightly, walked out and said, "Xiao Qi, are you doing your homework?"
Si Qi turned his head, blinked, and said, "Hmm~"
When Mr. Si saw this, he chuckled, thinking that the little guy's reaction might be a sign of guilt. So he pretended to pick up the homework, glanced at it, and tried to correct his child's bad habit by saying, "Why are all the answers wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Si's father exclaimed, "Hmm?"
One question, two questions, three questions—the answer to each one is correct.
Si's father was surprised: "Xiao Qi, you got all of your homework right."
“I only write down what’s correct~” Si Qi continued blinking, her innocent and tender face always looking adorable no matter what expression she made: “Besides, my brother helped me write it, it would be strange if I made a mistake~”
Si Ping, who was suddenly called out, was taken aback: "Huh? Ah...right."
Si Qi's sudden transformation from a poor student to a top student who could effortlessly complete elementary school homework couldn't be explained by the fact that he had been reborn; he needed a shield to dispel any doubts.
He truly deserves to be called a shield.
Si's father exclaimed incredulously, "Your brother is so amazing!"
Previously, Si Qi's grades were not good, and his parents had tried to improve them by hiring many tutors to provide one-on-one instruction.
As it turned out, Si Qi had inherited his parents' genes and was a genuine academic failure. When Si's parents saw him being forced to sit at his desk like he was in prison and studying so painfully, they felt sorry for him and comforted each other, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to know physics to be a boss," thus completely giving up on that idea.
Who would have thought that the result that so many professional tutors hired at great expense couldn't change, Si Ping managed to do all by himself in just one month?
That's incredible! His son is truly a genius!
Father Si said proudly, "Good, very good, you two are both excellent!"
Si Ping muttered softly, "I didn't do anything..."
Si Qichao loudly agreed: "Yes! It's all thanks to my brother!"
Si's father was very satisfied and said to Si Ping, "No need to be modest. I know very well how well your brother is doing in his studies."
Si Ping: "..." You'd be a fool to say that.
Father Si waved his hand and said, "You weren't home before, and I didn't give you any pocket money. I'll transfer it all to you this time. Buy whatever you like!"
Si Ping stared at the seven-figure remittance notification on his phone, his lips twitching. "Thank you, Dad."
Si's mother soon learned from Si's father the good news of Si Qi's rapid academic progress. Just like Si's father, she was overjoyed and sent a remittance to Si Ping as well, calling it "pocket money".
Si Ping was not surprised by this; when it came to material conditions, Si's parents had never been stingy.
Si Ping didn't have much of a concept of money; as long as he had enough to spend, that was fine. After receiving the money, he didn't pay much attention to it and planned to put it in his card to earn interest, just like in his previous life.
Seeing this, Si Qi thought of Chu Feng, whom he had not yet met in this world. He remembered that in the original owner's memories, Chu Feng was also a successful businessman. He had met the original owner several times in business settings. So he came over to Si Ping and said, "Brother, I'll help you invest this money. I guarantee you'll double your money every year."
He didn't know where Chu Feng was at this time, but it was always good to start early and increase the chances of meeting.
Upon hearing this, Si Ping recalled that Si Qi in his previous life was an old man who had been in business longer than his parents combined. With a strange expression, he handed over the card: "Okay, take it if you want. The password is my birthday."
Sigh, my younger brother, who's still in elementary school, said he wants to help me earn money. As the older brother, I have mixed feelings.
Si Qi took the card and said with a grin, "Brother, you're so nice~~"
Si Ping didn't seem to care much: "What's the big deal?"
He's still in school, so money is useless to him. It's better to use it to satisfy his younger brother's hobbies.
Otherwise, it would be too torturous to make an already successful elderly person (scratch that) go to primary school like a child, without having anything else to do.
“But you’re still a child. Won’t it be inconvenient for you to do these things?” Si Ping said, “If there’s anything I can help you with, remember to tell your brother.”
He's a few years older than Si Qi no matter what (serious face), so he can be assigned to run errands.
"Don't worry," Si Qi said with a smile, "Aren't we still Mom and Dad?"
"Will they agree?" Si Ping asked worriedly. "They don't know about your rebirth and think you're just a child."
“No problem,” Si Qi raised an eyebrow, giving a “just you wait and see” look.
That evening, Mr. and Mrs. Si returned from the company "early" at eight o'clock, which was unusual for them, and they did not forget to talk about work at the dinner table.
Si Ping has never been interested in these things, letting them go in one ear and out the other, just like in his previous life.
Si Qi suddenly spoke up, interjecting, "What if we turn it into a resort area?"
Si's parents paused in their speech.
They never expected that their son, who was still in elementary school, would be able to keep up with their conversation and even join in.
Si's father chuckled and said, "Why would Xiao Qi want to go on vacation?"
Do you want to go out and have some fun?
Several suitable travel destinations for children came to mind, and she was thinking of having the housekeeper take Si Qi there after the holidays. But the next second, she heard Si Qi say, "Because Uncle Zhou mentioned that the province plans to promote tourism in the next few years. Is this a 'key indicator' issued by the higher authorities? It feels like if we build a resort area, it would meet all the requirements."
The moment those words were spoken, the dining table fell silent.
Si Ping's hand, which was eating, froze in mid-air. He stared blankly at Si Qi. Si's parents, who had been smiling and coaxing their child, momentarily froze, and said in surprise, "Xiao Qi, you..."
Si Ping nervously put down his chopsticks, his heart pounding with anxiety, fearing that his parents would suspect his younger brother, who had inadvertently given himself away.
How can you casually reveal things about the future?
But the next second, Si's parents asked, "Uncle Zhou, is he the one from your brother An'an's family?"
Si Qi nodded: "Yes, yes, it's him."
That's a very important person. Si's parents couldn't help but hold their breath and said to Si Qi, "Xiao Qi, are you sure the province will be focusing on promoting tourism next..."
He and his wife exchanged a glance, their faces showing excitement: "Speaking of which, the land we own is conveniently located near the scenic area..."
Because of its location near the suburbs and a bit far from the city center, they struggled with what kind of buildings to construct and what kind of industrial park to create on that land.
After all, even when building houses, residential buildings and commercial centers are completely different concepts. They considered the nearby transportation, the surrounding hospitals and schools... but forgot about the scenic area that occupies a large area.
In the original timeline, it was precisely because Si's parents overlooked this point that, when the tourism industry was booming and many companies were soaring to new heights, they missed out on such a great opportunity due to their initial misjudgment of direction, despite occupying the best geographical location. They were filled with regret about this.
...So this is what they were talking about? Si Ping thought blankly.
He remembered this incident. In the days following the news, his parents kept talking about it at home, saying things like, "If we had known, we would have built it as a resort." He could still recall it even after many years.
But he hadn't made that connection at all.
Instead, it was his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for sixty or seventy years, who remembered.
Si Ping felt a little ashamed, thinking to himself that he really lacked business acumen. At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about Si Qi, fearing that he would say too much and arouse his parents' suspicion.
As it turned out, Si Qi was exceptionally bold. Instead of stopping while he was ahead, he pressed his advantage: "Building a resort area alone is not enough. We can also upgrade the service industry."
Si's parents were still somewhat stunned by what had just happened. When they heard Si Qi say this, they subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"
"For example, once tourists arrive in our city, we can take care of everything from their arrival at the train station to their arrival at the scenic area. It's not just about providing a place to stay."
Si Qi said, "We can promote it online in advance, creating a series of popular tourist attractions. We can also develop our resort into a must-visit characteristic ancient town and food street in Jiangxi Province. This way, after tourists have spent a day in the scenic area, they won't need to travel to the city to solve their food, accommodation, and transportation problems. They can directly visit the ancient town after finishing the attractions and solve all their problems in the town."
Si's parents' eyes widened slightly. According to Si Qi's words, he wasn't just riding the wave to success; he was turning the wave into his own, taking a big bite out of the cake.
The two parents were immediately intrigued. If what Si Qi heard from "Uncle Zhou" was true, then this was indeed, no, absolutely worth doing!
They didn't doubt that Si Qi would lie. Si Qi had been unexpectedly reliable in these matters since childhood, and he had always been able to provide them with crucial help.
They just didn't expect that Si Qi, a child, would think so much. Not only did he remember the information mentioned by the adults while playing at his friend's house, but he could also combine the information to provide advice that was more perfect than what they, the adults, could give.
"He's a born businessman!" Father Si was overjoyed. "Good, good, good! I didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so thoughtful. He truly is our son."
“Yes, Mom and Dad usually only think about buying land and building houses, they never thought of doing it this way.” Mrs. Si said with great pride.
"This idea is very complete. Xiao Qi, have you considered this before?" Mr. Si asked expectantly.
"I've thought about it. I want to start my own business, and I thought about this on the side when I was thinking about it," Si Qi said decisively, nodding his head.
Si's parents found it amusing: "You want to start a business?"
At the age of still being in elementary school?
That's really ambitious.
After what had just happened, they didn't think Si Qi was just a child joking around, and asked, "What kind of business are you starting?"
“Let’s start with industries related to home first. That will save us some effort and is better than going it alone,” Si Qi said slowly. “Later, we can gradually expand into the smart technology field, doing smart home projects and AI engineering…”
Si's parents listened attentively, but the more they listened, the funnier it became. They felt that Si Qi's plan was a bit too grandiose, exceeding their professional scope and venturing into the realm of fantasy—like considering whether to go to Tsinghua or Peking University when you're in school.
Only Si Ping, after listening, understood that this was probably the path Si Qi had personally experienced in his previous life, and now he was simply walking it again from the beginning.
He felt that Si Qi was serious and not joking. Si Qi's parents, who thought he was just joking like a child, did not contradict him after listening to his wild "fantasy." Instead, they encouraged him, saying, "If you have an idea, just do it. Dad and Mom support you."
In their eyes, Si Qi's hobbies were just a little niche, no different from piano or calligraphy.
"After you've figured out what to do, write a plan for your parents. After they read it, they'll arrange for someone to help you," Mr. and Mrs. Si said very seriously. "As long as you don't find it troublesome, you can do whatever you want."
"As for the money, your parents will provide it as an investment on our part."
“No need,” Si Qi shook his head: “My brother gave me the money, and I have money on me now.”
Si's parents found it amusing: "You gave it to you? How much did you give?"
Ten thousand or two hundred thousand is not enough to do these things.
“He gave them all to me,” Si Qi said proudly. “My brother is the best to me.”
Si's parents were stunned, not expecting Si Qi to say that, and looked at Si Ping in surprise, "This is really..."
They only knew that Si Ping was good to Si Qi, but they never expected that Si Ping could go to such lengths for Si Qi.
That's several million dollars. A child who had lived a hard life since childhood casually handed over all the money he had worked so hard to earn to his younger brother who was still in elementary school, just because his brother said he was going to start a business.
This is not something a typical brother-loving person would do; this is brother-obsessed to the point of near insanity.
Si's parents had initially worried that after their eldest son returned and saw how well-off the family was, he might become jealous of his younger brother, who had grown up with them, and that this might cause discord between the two brothers...
But when you look at what Si Ping has done...
Well, they don't need to worry about their younger son; instead, they have to worry about whether their eldest son, who spoils his younger brother so unconditionally, will have to put in more effort for their naive and innocent eldest son.
Otherwise, how can you just hand over all your things so casually?
"It's one thing for you to give the money to your brother, but you can't do that to others."
They knew Si Qi's character well, and they knew that Si Qi wouldn't do something like taking advantage of someone and then turning his back on them. But what about someone else? Si Ping might even help someone count the money after being sold out.
Si Ping was speechless: "...Of course I wouldn't do that to others."
He's not that naive.
Si's parents didn't believe it. They said, "They've been bullied like this by those people from our hometown, and you still say you can't do it?"
Si Ping: "…………"
Okay, he had nothing more to say.
Si's father sighed helplessly, "Never mind, just focus on your studies."
You can't expect every child to be like Si Qi, who is not only insightful but also born with good fortune, making everything he does go smoothly.
Si Ping's academic excellence already surprised and delighted his father; what more could he ask for?
In particular, Si Ping not only excelled in her studies, but also helped her younger brother, who was a poor student, improve his grades.
The more Si's father looked at Si, the more satisfied he became. In a better mood, he waved his hand and said to Si, "I'll give you a new card for your brother. You can use the money in it yourself! How can a child be without money in his pocket?"
Si Ping: "...Okay."
But he really didn't know where to spend the money.
Or should I secretly slip it to my younger brother?
...
This solved the problem of the two brothers not needing to pretend to be children in front of their family after their rebirth. Si Qi, who was younger but more mature, once again went to Si Ping's classroom during school to check on how his older brother was doing.
"Little Qi is here to see the academic genius again." A senior student greeted Si Qi from afar.
Because Si Ping achieved a perfect score on the entrance exam after his rebirth, he didn't transfer to the ordinary class in his previous life, which was basically for rich people to coast through. Instead, he entered the top-tier, elite class in the grade. The students in that class were all academically excellent and had outstanding talents, and they greatly admired Si Ping, this all-around academic genius.
Regardless, Si Ping is a genuine graduate student, a talent who came out of the laboratory, and his professional level can definitely impress this group of top students who are still in junior high school.
The way these students addressed Si Ping reveals their deep respect for him.
Si Qi smiled and said, "Brother Hanhan, is my brother here?"
Upon seeing Si Qi's smiling face, the boy called Hanhan couldn't help but take out some snacks from his drawer and stuff them into Si Qi's hand. He then turned around, glanced at the classroom, and said, "I didn't see him. Let me ask."
Before he could finish speaking, the other students in the class noticed Si Qi's appearance and rushed over as if they had seen a kitten run into the classroom: "Oh, it's Xiao Qi."
"Xiao Qi, you're here!"
"Are you here to see your brother?"
Not long after Si Ping transferred to this school, Si Qi became like a clingy little devil, running over every few days.
Elementary school students are already conspicuous in the junior high section, and with Si Qi being so good-looking and having such a likable personality, he quickly became familiar to the students in the advanced class, who all came over to get close to the cutie.
"Xiao Qi and her brother have such a good relationship. They see each other every day at home, and they don't want to be separated at school."
"What's the big deal? I wish Xiao Qi would come over every day."
"Xiao Qi, come tomorrow, I'll bring you the cookies you said were really delicious last time."
A group of people crowded around Si Qi, chatting amongst themselves and enjoying the cat-like pleasure. It took Si Qi a while to finally have a chance to ask about Si Ping's whereabouts. He said with a wry smile, "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow—where's my brother?"
"It seems he went to see Teacher Wang in Class 3," a student said mysteriously. "Supposedly it's about the competition."
Wow, the National Physics Competition?
"A genius is indeed a genius."
Class 3 is not far from Class 4, separated by only two classes' worth of seats.
The students from the Rocket Class enthusiastically escorted Si Qi there, as if afraid he might get lost on the way, and surrounded him in a large group.
So, when Si Qi stood at the entrance of Class 3, trying to ask if Si Ping was there, the students of Class 3 were first startled by the huge crowd from the Rocket Class, thinking they were there for some reason, and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Who is Si Ping? Someone is looking for you!!"
Si Ping: "…………"
After Si Ping finished speaking with the teacher, he came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
I hope something's wrong with his brother, being surrounded by such a large group of people.
"No, we're just helping Xiao Qi show him the way."
Everyone gave a joking explanation.
Si Ping found it amusing to hear what kind of guide could mobilize the entire class, but he was also used to his younger brother's popularity. Just as he was about to speak to Si Qi, he noticed that Si Qi's gaze was fixed on a corner of the classroom. He subconsciously followed Si Qi's gaze and looked into the room.
I didn't see anything.
"What are you looking at?" Si Ping asked.
Si Qi grabbed Si Ping's sleeve, his voice tinged with excitement: "Brother, it's Chu Feng."
Si Ping: "Hmm?"
"It's me—" Si Qi paused, not continuing in front of everyone, and instead said, "Brother, can you help me call him out?"
“I know Chu Feng,” said the student from the Rocket Class who was following behind Si Qi. “He lives next door to me, and we were in the same class in elementary school.”
My next-door neighbor, who was also my classmate for six years in elementary school, actually used the tone of "I know"?
Si Qi was puzzled. He turned around and saw the man walk into Class 3. Not long after, he called Chu Feng out.
It's clear from their positions, one in front of the other, that they don't know each other well.
Chu Feng walked to the classroom door, looked at the large group of unfamiliar classmates outside, his expression gloomy, with a hint of hidden hostility: "What is it?"
His tone was very cold, and even the students watching the commotion could sense Chu Feng's displeasure. They couldn't help but wave their hands to indicate that "we're not looking for you."
Si Qi quickly stepped forward and said, "It's me, I'm the one who's looking for you."
Chu Feng's gaze finally shifted from the faces of the large group of strangers, moving down, down, and down again, until he saw the little one at the front of the crowd.
Chu Feng: "…………"
Si Qi smiled broadly: "I didn't expect to see you here."
Chu Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do I know you?"
His expressionless face did look rather fierce. Si Ping thought Chu Feng was warning his younger brother, so he subconsciously grabbed Si Qi's hand, wanting to protect him behind him.
Si Qi tilted his fair face up and grinned, revealing his teeth: "I know you, don't you think I look familiar?"
Chu Feng didn't speak. He didn't recognize Si Qi's face, but the moment he saw it, a sense of goodwill involuntarily arose in his heart. This goodwill was too obvious. Combined with Si Qi's words, Chu Feng thought that he must have had some interaction with Si Qi before, but he just forgot it for a moment. So he said, "You look familiar."
Si Qi smiled even more broadly, took out his phone and said, "Class is about to start, let's add each other as friends first, and contact each other later."
Chu Feng then silently took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and added Si Qi as a friend.
When everyone saw that Chu Feng was actually Si Qi's friend, and not the unapproachable guy they had initially imagined with his bad temper, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and they started joking around again, teasing Si Qi: "You fickle guy, adding all of us wasn't enough, you even have to add the brother you just met."
"With three thousand beauties in your harem, how can you manage?"
Just then, the bell rang for class to begin. The middle school was some distance from the elementary school classrooms, and Si Ping reminded them, "Class is about to start."
Si Qi had no choice but to put his phone away, waved to Chu Feng with a bright smile, and said, "See you later~"
Chu Feng: "...Hmm."
As Si Qi left, the crowd naturally dispersed with him.
Chu Feng stood at the classroom door, silently watching the direction Si Qi left in for several moments before turning back to his seat.
A fair-skinned, handsome boy approached and asked curiously, "Who was that kid just now?"
Chu Feng: "I don't know him."
“I see,” the boy said thoughtfully, then quickly realized something: “I heard he added a lot of people as friends, probably just to collect the contact information of upperclassmen. No wonder he added you.”
Chu Feng: "..."
Boy: "Otherwise, with your personality, who would want to be friends with you besides me, hahaha."
Chu Feng didn't speak. The boy leaned on his desk and said innocently, "You don't usually use your phone, and you reply to messages very slowly. If someone can't find you, won't they think you're deliberately ignoring them?"
"They might even add you to the group chat of those people next door and ask you to attend parties or something. Just thinking about it is a hassle. Once you're tagged, you can't pretend you didn't see it, and you'll have to come up with a good reason to refuse."
"Don't you hate these kinds of people the most?" the boy said to Chu Feng. "He's just a complete stranger, there's no need to waste time on him. Just delete him to avoid him bothering you later."
"You have no idea how annoying it is when those people outside randomly add you as a friend by scanning QR codes, harassing you every now and then."
As he spoke, he reached for Chu Feng's phone, found Si Qi's contact page, and quickly tapped the red delete button: "I'll delete it for you. If he asks about it later, just say—"
Chu Feng pulled his phone back, flicked his finger to exit the delete screen, and reminded, "Class is about to start."
Boy: "…………"
The boy's eyes twitched slightly, and the smile on his lips wasn't pleasant: "I was just trying to be nice, worried you'd be harassed. If you're unhappy, fine, but why are you taking it out on me? I told you you should control your temper outside. It's one thing with me, but those other guys, you beat them all up and sent them to the hospital..."
Upon hearing his words, the students around him instinctively looked over.
Chu Feng grew increasingly irritated and raised his voice, "Have you said enough? Go back to your seat!"
"Wow...that's fierce."
"Who are you trying to impress with that sullen face all day?"
"I don't owe him anything."
"Only Li Bing could stand it."
A commotion arose around them. The boy pursed his lips, looking aggrieved, and said, "Okay, I understand. Don't be angry anymore." He then turned and returned to his seat.
The students sitting in front of and behind him wanted to come over and talk to him, but the bell rang and they didn't want to turn around in front of the teacher, so they took out their phones and sent a message to the boys in their private group chat, asking him what had happened between them.
The boy picked up his phone and replied: "I was worried he'd randomly scan QR codes to add friends and get harassed, so I offered to delete the contacts for him, but he yelled at me."
The students sitting in front of and behind them didn't understand: "Why do you care?"
Boy: [I'm just worried about him, aren't I? We grew up together, and he's always getting into trouble with people because of his temper. I can't just ignore him...]
"That depends on whether the person appreciates it or not," a classmate replied. "Look at the way he's acting, what if he beats you up in a fit of rage?"
The boy typed slowly: "[Probably not, he only types to people he doesn't like. I'm his friend, after all.]"
"Huh? So he really just hits people he doesn't like?"
[Yeah...] The boy sent a crying face emoji: [No matter how much we try to persuade him, it's no use. His dad has scolded him several times, and every time we have to go to the police station to bail him out. I even went to the police station with him a few times. Do you want to see the photos?]
【Oh my god…】A collective gasp filled the classroom as several students with their phones shared this shocking news with classmates who weren’t in the group chat. A group of people stared at Chu Feng in the photo, looking at him with suspicion and a hint of wariness in their furtive glances.
Chu Feng was listening to the lecture when he was suddenly stared at with such a repulsive look, and his face involuntarily darkened.
The students around him exchanged silent glances: "She really does look fierce..."
"I feel like I'm about to hit someone."
"We need to stay away from him from now on."
