Chuzheng walked forward and saw Ye Chen who was pushing his bicycle. She glanced at the bicycle and walked over. “For you. Don’t ever throw it away.”

Bastard said before that the money spent was equivalent to water being splashed out and could not be retrieved back.

If she wanted to become an official prodigal, she had to treat money as though it was the dirt under her feet and spend money like water.

It was indeed different to be a fool who gets more money.

Ye Chen: “…”

Chuzheng walked past him and headed towards the direction of the school.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows. Ji Chuzheng… who was she?

Ye Chen followed Chuzheng into the school. Both of their school buildings were different but before they separated, Chuzheng suddenly turned around. “Are your results good?”

Ye Chen: “…”

Could she not see that every time results were shown, his name would appear as number one.

“Not bad.”

Chuzheng took out an exercise book from her school bag and flipped to a page. “Help me complete this.”

Ye Chen: “…”

Ji Chuzheng’s results…

Ye Chen thought about the results list and had not found her name. Looking at the way she did things in school, she was probably the last few in class.

“Do it yourself.” It was not that no one in the school asked him to help with their homework but he was not willing. Thus, he was already used to the punching and hitting he experienced all the time.

Hence, the rejection was easy to Ye Chen and he was prepared for the consequences.

“The day before, I helped you to check the surveillance cameras and could not finish it in time.” Chuzheng had a serious expression. “I write very slowly.”

Ye Chen: “…”

What had her writing words slowly got to do with him?

Moreover, what had checking of the surveillance cameras the day before got to do with today?

Ye Chen glared with a dark gaze at Chuzheng.

Before he snatched the exercise book away. “When do you have to pass it up?”

“In a while.”

Ye Chen: “…”

As there was still some time left, Ye Chen and Chuzheng found a store near the school and he quickly helped her to finish her homework.

After he was done, Ye Chen immediately packed up his things and walked away.

“About the bicycle…” Ye Chen seemed to be preparing his psychological state. “I’ve wronged you, sorry.”

The young man strutted off as though he was scared that Chuzheng would catch up with him.

–

In the next few days, Ye Chen received big boss Chuzheng’s homework every day.

Ye Chen was frustrated initially.

But as time went on, he became polite and even asked her straight for her homework when he met her so that he could complete it in the evening.

Chuzheng took the opportunity and gave all her homework to Ye Chen,

Ye Chen kept telling himself that he just wanted to see what she was trying to do.

In school, schoolmates knew Ye Chen and Ji Chuzheng were close and rumors about Chuzheng and Ye Chen spread.

Didn’t they see that Ji Chuzheng did not even bother with Meng Ran?

Those who bullied Ye Chen also disappeared.

Although there were still some who secretly played some tricks on him, they had not dared to do it in broad daylight.

Ye Chen knew it was all because of her.

But he had not understood why.

What did she want from him?

He had nothing…

Moreover…

Being shielded by a girl made Ye Chen feel uncomfortable.

As though he was weak and useless.

But thinking about it carefully, now, he was…

Hence, Ye Chen was a little frustrated.

For a few days, Ye Chen had not given Chuzheng a good attitude.

“Xiao Chen, table number six. Bring it there.”

Now, Ye Chen was wearing his work attire as he worked in a bubble tea shop.

That was his recent part-time work as working hours were after school and dinner were provided as well hence he did not need to face his aunt’s family.

“Okay.”

Ye Chen brought the bubble tea to table number six.

Before he walked closer, a familiar figure entered his line of sight.

This gave Ye Chen a fright.

Why did she come?

Chuzheng lowered her head and was looking at her cell phone. She did not seem to have noticed him. Ye Chen took a look at the number and his expression darkened.

She refuses to let him go.

Ye Chen silently placed the bubble tea down.

Chuzheng did not raise her head either as she paid no attention to who brought the bubble tea to her.

Ye Chen stood there for two seconds and realized Chuzheng was not going to raise her head before biting down his lips and turned around to do his work.

The business in the bubble tea shop was excellent. In the midst of his work, Ye Chen glanced at her from time to time, but she continued to lower her head and looked at her phone with a serious face.

Did she not know how to smile?

In the past…

In his memory, there were only scenes of her with her underlings passing by him with swag and he never noticed her look.

“Xiao Chen, table number eight.”

Ye Chen quickly came back to his senses and proceeded to deliver the bubble tea.

When he passed by Chuzheng, he took a glance at her phone screen. Before he could see clearly, he suddenly bumped into someone and the tray on his hands tilted to the side.

Before he could salvage the situation, the bubble tea had already been spilled on the person sitting beside Chuzheng’s table.

“What are you doing? Do you know how to work? Are you blind?”

Ye Chen furrowed his brows. There was no one in front of him earlier yet this person suddenly stood up, clearly, he did it on purpose.

He lifted up his eyes and took a look at that person. He seemed familiar and after a while, Ye Chen recalled that he was one of the people who hit him when he met Chuzheng.

That day, it was also these few people who picked fault with him first and asked him for money. Were they repeating it again?

The person who had bubble tea spilled all over their clothes held his clothes and asked. “Young boy, tell me, how are you going to settle this today? Look at how you dirtied my clothes.”

“Tell the owner to come out!”

These few people seemed to have a loud mouth and with one look, one would know they were delinquents. The surrounding customers all looked quite frightened.

The store owner hurriedly rushed over. “What’s wrong?”

“They bumped into me.” Ye Chen said. “On purpose.”

“Hey! What did you say? I purposely bumped into you? What do you mean?” The person who bumped into Ye Chen roared out.

This seriously affected the business.

Hence, the store owner made Ye Chen apologize to them.

Ye Chen was unwilling.

Those few people could not come to an agreement and held Ye Chen down, punching him.

When Ye Chen was pushed around, he looked towards Chuzheng but her seat was already empty.

At that moment, he could not explain his feelings.

A punch fell on his body, the willful laughter of those assaulters and murmurs from the crowd…

“Ah!”

The punch that fell on Ye Chen’s body suddenly disappeared and there were the sounds of chaotic footsteps around him. He covered his nose and sat up.

There was a group of strangers around him that started to hit those few men.

Chuzheng stood at the doorstep and transferred the compensation money to the store owner.

“This incident…” The store owner shook his head. “Those few people frequently came to stir up trouble. They are clearly gangsters and I know it was not the fault of Xiao Chen, but in this industry, how could we not succumb to them? Do you think so, miss?

“Hmm.” Chuzheng nodded her head seriously.

The store owner: “…”

After those people left, the group of people who came afterward swiftly left as well.

Chuzheng entered only when the bubble tea shop became quiet.

Ye Chen sat in the midst of a disordered mess and blood dripped between the gaps of his fingers.

He stared at Chuzheng who walked over and helped him up to the seat she was sat on just now.

When Ye Chen sat down, he realized her school bag was still at its original place.

“Everyone, let’s clean up the mess. We are closed for today.” The store owner ordered his frightened workers and walked towards Ye Chen. “Xiao Chen, are you alright?”

“Boss, what happened today…”

“It’s fine.” Having received a wealthy person’s money, the store owner dared not to find trouble with him. “Regarding today’s incident, I believe you and it’s not your fault. Take a rest first.”

Ye Chen furrowed his brows. “Boss…”

“Take a rest, take a rest.” The store owner hurriedly left.

Chuzheng handed him a tissue. “Wipe off the blood.”

He was too weak.

He was just beaten a few times and blood flowed out.

A man should not be so weak! Unacceptable! Unacceptable!
