"Hiss... Si Ying, did you hear that? Zhou Chen actually called her Xiaowan?" Tian Xuemeng's eyes widened in astonishment. This address was extremely ambiguous. High school students in this era are very conservative. Any intimate address can lead people to wild reveries. That's why Tang Wan and Tian Xuemeng have the same reaction. "So what? He also calls me Si Ying!" Liu Si Ying pretended to be nonchalant, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes. Zhou Chen not only didn't accept the coke she bought for him but also refused her invitation to play badminton. She was very worried that Zhou Chen would give up on her, which would make her lose face.
Tang Wan moved to a shady tree to watch Zhou Chen play basketball. Her little face was flushed red, and her expression was tangled and complex. Zhou Chen completely defeated his opponents with his superb basketball skills. Tang Wan was so engrossed that she forgot everything else. Until Zhou Chen came over, panting and asked, "How is it? Am I handsome?" "Ah?" Tang Wan raised her rosy face and looked at Zhou Chen. When her eyes met those pitch-black eyes, she quickly lowered her head again and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Very handsome..." Zhou Chen is 1.78 meters tall. He has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, delicate features, and short messy hair. His unfathomable eyes reveal a depth that doesn't belong to this age.
"Haha, I think so too!" Zhou Chen boasted narcissistically. "Narcissist!" Tang Wan turned and walked towards the teaching building. "Hey, Xiaowan, do you want to play badminton?" Zhou Chen asked loudly from behind. He called her Xiaowan again!! Tang Wan's face flushed red, and she quickened her pace a bit. Zhou Chen went to the locker room to change into a dry school uniform and then returned to the classroom to review English with Tang Wan. Just when the two were deeply engaged in studying, a girl with a ponytail walked up to Tang Wan's desk. "Monitor, can... can I ask you a chemistry question?" The girl was nervous and her voice was very soft. "Sure..." Tang Wan looked up with a smile. Zhou Chen also looked up.
In the next second, his pupils contracted violently. Gu Qingyu, one of the extremely poor students in the class. On the day of the college entrance examination, she was assaulted by a taxi driver. When the police found the body, she was unrecognizable. There were even the DNA of seven or eight people left in her body. Until the moment of his own death, the group of people who assaulted Gu Qingyu had not been brought to justice. And in order to find the murderer, Gu Qingyu's family spent all their money but still couldn't get a result. Zhou Chen was breathing rapidly, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the pen turned white. "Zhou Chen, please give up your seat first!" Tang Wan turned her head and looked at Zhou Chen.
Seeing that Zhou Chen's complexion was not good, she thought Zhou Chen didn't want to give up his seat. So she looked at Gu Qingyu and said, "Let's go to the window side!" Gu Qingyu nodded gently. Zhou Chen got up and said, "No need. You can sit here." "Thank you..." Gu Qingyu blushed and smiled. Zhou Chen took a deep breath, took a few more glances at Gu Qingyu, and then found an empty seat by the window and sat down. Since he was reborn, his fate trajectory had more or less deviated to some extent. But there were still many events advancing according to the original route. The Gu Qingyu tragedy was likely to happen again. Zhou Chen took a deep breath and made up his mind to save Gu Qingyu.
Perhaps this is the meaning of his rebirth. Under Tang Wan's patient explanation, Gu Qingyu suddenly understood: "Thank you, monitor. I've learned it..." Tang Wan smiled sweetly: "You're welcome. You can come to me anytime if you don't understand." "Um!" Gu Qingyu nodded vigorously, almost moved to tears. Because of her poor background, she is introverted. In the class, she seldom contacts others, and few people are willing to play with her. She tried to ask a classmate with good chemistry grades to tutor her, but that classmate made an excuse and refused. In the past two days, the monitor has been very patiently tutoring Zhou Chen. So she tried to ask the monitor, and unexpectedly, the monitor really agreed."Gu Qingyu..." Zhou Chen returned to his seat with his textbooks in his arms.
"Um, what's wrong?" Gu Qingyu looked at Zhou Chen obediently. "Classmate Zhou Chen, thank you for giving up your seat to me!" Zhou Chen gave up his seat for her and the monitor tutored her in chemistry. For the first time, she felt the enthusiasm of her classmates and became much more cheerful.
"Why don't you live in the school dormitory?" Zhou Chen asked. Gu Qingyu's residence is relatively far from the school, so she took a taxi on the day of the college entrance examination. If she can live in the school, perhaps the tragedy can be avoided.
"My parents work in other provinces. My grandma had a stroke and is paralyzed. I have to take care of my grandma..." Gu Qingyu lowered her head and explained.
"What about your grandma when you are at school?" Tang Wan frowned and asked.
"During the day, kind neighbors help take care of her. At night, I can only take care of grandma by myself!"
Dinglingling!
The school bell rang for the end of class.
"Monitor, Brother Zhou Chen, thank you. I have to go back and cook for my grandma!"
After leaving these words, Gu Qingyu hurried away.
Tang Wan sighed, "No wonder Gu Qingyu is so frugal. She is even reluctant to take a bus at ordinary times!"
Zhou Chen twirled the pen in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts. Gu Qingyu has a paralyzed grandma to take care of. It's unlikely for her to live in the school dormitory. Moreover, the accommodation fee at a key high school is also not a small amount. It seems that the only way is to prevent Gu Qingyu from taking a taxi before the college entrance examination.
"Classmate Zhou Chen, can you walk me home?" Tang Wan packed up her textbooks and suddenly turned and asked.
"Sure..."
"But you have to buy me a coke!" Zhou Chen held the twirling pen and smiled.
"Don't you not like drinking coke?"
"That depends on who gives it!"
"Isn't it all the same no matter who gives it?"
"Of course it's not the same. Alright, let's go quickly!"
Zhou Chen slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and walked out with one hand in his pocket. Tang Wan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a beautiful arc lifted at the corner of her lips.
...
Fandou Garden Community.
At the entrance is a red Santana that was launched in 1996.
Zhou Guangming has a big back hairstyle and is wearing a white shirt with the hem of the shirt tucked into his trousers. His black leather shoes are polished to a shine.
He Ying, who just returned from the vegetable market with a neighbor and bought a lot of vegetables, can't move when she sees Zhou Guangming.
"Oh, Yingzi, has your husband been promoted and got a pay raise?"
The neighbor Wang Huifang covered her mouth and chuckled.
He Ying twitched the corner of her mouth: "Come on. It would be good if he isn't fired. Promoted and got a pay raise?
"Is today your wedding anniversary?" Wang Huifang continued to guess.
"Don't think about it randomly. Today, Guangming's elder brother is coming to our house as a guest!" He Ying explained with a smile.
"No wonder you bought so many vegetables!"
"Oh, my daughter will be out of school soon. I have to hurry to the school to pick her up. You help me take the vegetables back!"
Wang Huifang stuffed the vegetables to He Ying.
He Ying carried large and small bags of vegetables and walked towards Zhou Guangming, full of disgust and said, "What's the use of putting on an act for them to see..."
Zhou Guangming chuckled sheepishly. "You don't know Big Brother's temperament. If we don't put on an act, he will surely show us attitude. It's fine for us, but we always have to think about our son, right?"
"Mom, Dad... I'm back!"
Zhou Chen rode his bicycle and quickly stopped next to the red Santana. Seeing this red Santana, Zhou Chen's expression was a bit strange. This car was borrowed by his father. It should be used to pick up his uncle's family at the airport. In 2004, a Santana cost more than 200,000 yuan, equivalent to a Land Rover in the future.
"Go back with your mom and cook. I'll go to the airport to pick up your uncle!"
Zhou Guangming patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and then got into the driver's seat and started the engine.
Watching the Santana driving away, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly. In his previous life, he wasted his studies because of chasing Liu Si Ying and failed to let his parents live a good life. In this life, he must be filial to his parents. Back home, He Ying walked straight to the kitchen. "Zhou Chen, clean up the house!"
"It's all the same whether I clean it or not!" Zhou Chen muttered with his mouth pouted.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
Zhou Chen picked up the broom and started cleaning. In his previous life, his uncle also came. He cleaned his room spotlessly, but his aunt still complained that the house was dirty. Their family didn't come to visit at all. Instead, they made a little fortune and came to show off in front of Old Zhou.
