Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 20: Senior 3 Return to School
Binxiang, a small town with no high-speed rail and only green trains, is completely unfamiliar to Lu Jinchao. On New Year's Eve, Lu Jinchao returned to his old rural home in the next city, which is quite far from here.
After sitting in a hard seat for seven or eight hours, Lu Jinzhao felt sore all over. After getting off the train, he waited for a long time at the entrance of the train station before hailing a taxi.
The driver was very enthusiastic: "Where are you going, handsome boy?"
"Sorry, I'm from out of town. Can you speak Mandarin?"
The driver spoke the local dialect of Binxiang. Influenced by the original owner, he could understand it but could not speak it.
"Okay, where are you going, handsome?"
"No. 23 Middle School."
"Okay, sit tight."
The driver did not cheat Lu Jinzhao just because he was from another place, but used the meter normally.
In the back seat, Lu Jinzhao opened the mobile network and was immediately bombarded with text messages:
"How could you just leave without saying anything???"
"Where have you been??"
"Why didn't you tell your buddy???"
"I wanted to invite you to go racing with me in the club!!!"
"Do you know how upset I was when I knocked on your door for half an hour this morning and there was no one inside???"
Dozens of messages, all from Fu Jingnian.
Lu Jinzhao typed a reply slowly: "Go to school."
Soon, the car stopped steadily in front of the gate of No. 23 Middle School. Lu Jinzhao scanned the code, paid the fee, got out of the car and walked to the electric fence gate. The uncle in the security room recognized him.
"Aren't you that, that, Xiao Lu? I heard that you took a leave of absence from school, and now you're back?"
Affected by the system, the memories of all those who remember the original owner Zhou Ye will be modified to his new name, and the security guard is no exception.
In a small place and a small school, any little disturbance would spread quickly. The security guard's impression of the boy in front of him was that he was a "poor kid who was a good student."
"Yes uncle, I'm here to resume school. Is Teacher Xie here?"
The security guard touched his forehead and thought for a while, "Yes, he should be in the office, go and have a look."
"it is good."
Crossing the small concrete playground, Lu Jinzhao walked into the old teaching building and heard the sound of reading from afar.
When I walked to the door of the teacher's office, I heard a middle-aged woman's full-throated voice: "Oh, I'm not saying anything, Teacher Chen, your class's Liu Zijie is too naughty. He comes to our class all day to tease the girls, doesn't attend class properly, and even learns from others to dye his hair yellow! Teacher Chen, are you listening to me..."
Teacher Chen, who was smiling the whole time, saw a figure outside the window and pointed: "Teacher Xie, it seems that one of your students is looking for you outside."
Xie Juan turned around, and a bunch of words were stuck in her throat.
"Thank you, teacher. Long time no see." Lu Jinzhao pushed open the door and walked into the office. He curled his lips and said, "I'm here to resume my studies."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Xie Juan has been a teacher in this school for her entire life and has seen all kinds of children. It is not the first time she has seen a poor child like Lu Jinzhao, who is well-behaved, has good academic performance, and comes from a difficult family. But it would be a lie to say that she does not feel sorry for him.
When she heard that Lu Jinchao was going to drop out of school to work, she felt very sorry. She went to visit the Zhou family and tried to tell them that Lu Jinchao had good grades and could get into a good university. As long as he got into a good university, he would be able to make a living and support their family in the future.
The Zhou family refused to agree no matter what, saying that they did not have the money to support a wild child from another family to go to college. They were afraid that the child would run away after getting out. Even if he did not run away, they would not be able to wait until he graduated from college. They were in a hurry to use the money now.
When she saw that the scholarship she had worked so hard to apply for Lu Jinzhao was taken away by the Zhou family, Xie Juan felt deeply powerless.
After all, outsiders can only provide temporary help. She is just an ordinary person and really can't interfere in Lu Jinzhao's family affairs.
Now seeing Lu Jinchao returning to school again, she was truly happy for him.
Xie Juan's eyes were filled with tears: "Then I will find you a class and an extra desk in the second year of high school."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie. I want to go back to my original class."
"Then what about the year you missed?" Xie Juan hesitated.
"You definitely won't believe me if I tell you that I won't fall behind. I remember there will be a routine test at the beginning of the semester. If I do well in the test, how about you agree to let me go back to my original class?"
After Lu Jinzhao completed the formalities and paid the tuition, he walked into the original owner's class. The whole class was eerily silent for a moment.
He didn't care at all. He found an empty table in the back row and sat down. He put away the books that Xie Juan had just sorted out, looked up at the class schedule written on the right side of the blackboard, and took out the physics textbook to start reading.
A pretty girl came over and handed over two A4-sized notebooks. "This is where I wrote down the key points of last semester's class. You should be able to use it. Welcome back."
Feeling something strange in his heart, Lu Jinzhao paused in turning the pages of the book and slowly raised his head.
It was her. Fang Yin, the original owner's classmate, the most beautiful girl in the class, the only white moonlight in Zhou Ye's heart. The same school uniform looked better on Fang Yin.
The original owner had been secretly in love with Fang Yin for a long time, but he was timid and inferior, and dared not express his feelings. He knew that Fang Yin was kind to everyone because she was a gentle person at heart, and she was not special to him alone. He could only watch Fang Yin silently.
"Thank you." Lu Jinchao took the notebook and glanced at the neat and tidy handwriting. The handwriting was just like the person, gentle and powerful. "I'll copy it and return it to you."
Fang Yin: "Okay, no rush."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Fang Yin was called away by other classmates.
"Hey, you still remember to come back?" Someone walked to Lu Jinzhao's desk with a mocking tone.
His thoughts were interrupted, Lu Jinchao looked up at the source of the sound and squinted. He had seen this boy in the original owner's memory and had some impression of him. The boy's name was Xu Ziang, a child from a wealthy family in the class. Because of his good academic performance, he was in competition with the original owner Zhou Ye, and he also liked Fang Yin. Once he ran into the original owner working as a part-time worker in his house, and since then Xu Ziang always used Zhou Ye's life experience to mock him for being a poor servant.
Seeing that Lu Jinzhao was silent as usual, Xu Ziang thought that he was still timid and became even more proud: "I heard that you went out to work. What's the matter? Did you earn enough money for college tuition? Or is it that no one wants you to work? Oh, by the way, I also heard that you entered the entertainment industry, but you were banned for being a male mistress? Is it true? Do you have nowhere to go now? Or you can come to my house to be a cleaner, and I will give you an extra 500 yuan a month?"
Lu Jinzhao's eyebrows twitched. The original owner was a timid person, but he was not. He closed the physics book, frowned slightly, and said in distress: "Do you like me?"
This sentence without a beginning or an end made Xu Ziang choke on his saliva, "You! Cough cough cough, what did you say? Are you crazy to say such a thing!?"
"Oh?" Lu Jinzhao's angular face showed no expression, but inexplicably revealed a bit of innocence: "I saw that you cared about me a lot, and I thought you liked me."
Without waiting for Xu Ziang's reaction, Lu Jinchao changed his expression and showed a harmless smile: "If you don't want people to spread rumors about you and me, remember to stay away from me. After all, I don't like men, and I don't like people like you even more. It will bother me if I spread rumors about you."
"You! You! Are you sick? You pervert!" Xu Ziang didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he turned around and left angrily.
Lu Jinzhao raised the corner of his lips in sarcasm. With such little skill, he still came up to provoke me.
"Oh my god, how come he's so brave after taking a break from school!"
"Why do I feel like he's become more handsome? Is it my illusion?"
"It must be your illusion!"
The voices of his classmates muttering fell into Lu Jinzhao's ears word for word, saying all kinds of things. He didn't react much, and calmly picked up the textbook and started reading.
In school, he is just an ordinary student, not causing trouble, but not afraid of it either.
*
After school in the afternoon, Zhou Chen waited for someone at the school gate to go to the Internet cafe to play games.
A classmate came over, "Hey, hey, hey, Zhou Chen, I heard your brother is back!"
Zhou Chen was puzzled: "What brother? Where is my brother?"
A classmate gestured and said, "That's your brother who brought you food every day last year. He's a senior in our school. Didn't he say he was going to the entertainment industry to act so he stopped bringing you food?"
Zhou Chen was holding the latest model of Apple phone in his hand, immersed in the mobile game, not even bothering to raise his head, "Bullshit, he is not my brother, he is just a servant my mother picked up for me on the street."
"Didn't you tell us before that your brother was on TV?"
Zhou Chen's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense!"
He did brag about his brother to his classmates. When Zhou Ye entered the entertainment industry and started playing supporting roles, Zhou Chen told everyone he had a brother who was on TV. But when Zhou Ye was scolded and quit the industry, he refused to admit it anymore.
He was playing a mobile game, looking up at the door from time to time while waiting for his resurrection. Suddenly, his hand felt light, and someone took his phone away.
"Who is it?" He looked up subconsciously, thinking it was a familiar classmate.
"why you!"
The latest model of mobile phone was thrown into the air by a good-looking hand and spun several times, which made Zhou Chen frightened.
"What are you doing! Give it back to me!" Zhou Chen tried to pounce on him and snatch it away, but with his height and weight being only 150 cm, he couldn't jump very high. As long as Lu Jinchao lifted his hand a little higher, he wouldn't be able to reach it.
After throwing the phone back and forth a few times, Lu Jinzhao caught it, took a look at it, and directly closed the background game and turned off the phone.
Zhou Chen was furious: "Give it back to me! That's my phone! Why did you snatch it from me? Do you believe me? I will tell my parents and ask them to kick you out!"
"Your cell phone?" Lu Jinzhao sneered, "You transferred my money and bought a new model for 1 yuan. Do you dare to let your parents know?"
Zhou Chen was obviously panicking: "You are talking nonsense! This is a gift from my uncle! I didn't take your money!"
Lu Jinzhao suddenly realized something and said, "Oh!" "You mean your uncle who lost all his family property due to gambling addiction, alcoholism and domestic violence, and whose wife and children ran away with someone else? How could he have the money to buy you such an expensive phone?"
Zhou Chen rushed over and prepared to attack: "What do you care about me! Give it back to me! Do you believe it or not, I will let my dad beat you to death!"
The phone was bought without telling his parents when he saw Lu Jinchao depositing money into the card last time when his dad was drunk and took his phone away to play games. Zhou Chen really didn't dare to let his parents know.
Lu Jinchao was tall and had long legs. He raised his leg slightly and kicked Zhou Chen on the knee. "I'd rather feed my money to the dog than give it to you. If you have the guts, go and complain to your parents. Do you think they'll hit you first or me? Besides, you don't want them to know that you've spent thousands of dollars on the game, do you?"
After saying that, regardless of Zhou Chen rolling on the ground in pain, he took the charger from his schoolbag and walked away.
The boy who was talking to Zhou Chen just now had already run away and disappeared.
Zhou Chen was furious. Ever since the last New Year's Eve, he felt that this guy who ate free meals in their house had changed and became much tougher than before. He just didn't expect that he would dare to hit him.
He couldn't swallow this humiliation, he had to get his phone back!
Zhou Chen returned home, took out his old mobile phone, charged it and turned it on, then hurriedly logged into WeChat and sent a message to the person who had marked "Big Brother" on the WeChat account.
"Brother, my cell phone was stolen! Can you help me get it back? I'm willing to buy you a month's supply of cigarettes!"
The other party was obviously not looking at his phone at this time and did not reply.
On the other hand, Lu Jinchao didn't want to go back to the Zhou family, as such a family was annoying. But he also didn't want to go to the school dormitory, as it was only the last semester, so there was no need to integrate into some established circles.
He found the best e-sports hotel in town and booked it for half a year. The environment of the hotel's single room was quite good, clean, spacious and bright, the computer configuration was also very high, plus someone cleaned the room every day, and the water and electricity were all free, so the price was very cost-effective.
The new phone Zhou Chen bought was black. Lu Jinchao formatted the phone, replaced it with his own phone card, entered his account and face, and logged into Weibo with the new phone. He planned to give the white phone he bought earlier to Zhou Xuan.
He looked at his Weibo account, which had accumulated a certain number of followers, and posted a live broadcast preview.
I logged onto WeChat and was bombarded by Fu Jingnian again: "Going to school? Which university are you at? I'll come visit you when I'm free!"
"Hello, hello?"
"Why did you disappear again?"
"Senior year." Lu Jinzhao clicked on the three dots in the upper right corner of the chat window and decisively added Fu Jingnian to the "do not remind" list.
Originally, the senior year students had evening self-study classes, but today was the first day of registration, and the evening self-study classes would not officially begin until tomorrow, Monday. Lu Jinzhao decided to go downstairs to have dinner first.
The e-sports hotel they stayed in didn't have a kitchen, so it was naturally impossible for him to cook his own meals in his single room, so he found a small restaurant nearby.
While waiting for the meal, he chatted with Fu Jingnian for a while. As soon as the noodles were served, he received a text message from the Zhou family demanding payment.
Zhou Hongda: "Why hasn't this month's money been transferred yet? Hurry up!"
It was the fixed monthly payment day again. The original owner paid more than 6,000 yuan to the Zhou family on time every month as tuition and living expenses for Zhou Xuan. Although the Zhou family often regarded this as extra income and used it all to pay off debts.
In the first two months, Lu Jinchao also remitted money on time, and the Zhou family never came to cause trouble. He tilted his head and thought, since the text message did not mention Zhou Chen's phone number, maybe the Zhou family didn't know that he was back? Or maybe they didn't care at all, as long as he remitted money on time?
After transferring 6,500 yuan and eating dinner, he looked at the time. It was only a few minutes before 7 o'clock, so Lu Jinzhao returned to the hotel and started the live broadcast. At 12 o'clock, Lu Jinzhao's body fell asleep, and his soul entered the system space to continue the live broadcast.
On Monday morning, Lu Jinzhao woke up at six o'clock as usual. He put on his clothes, shoes and socks, washed up, put on his schoolbag and went downstairs for a morning run. It was still dark and there was not a single ghost on the street.
Passing by Zhou's house, Lu Jinzhao glanced at the house from a distance, but ultimately did not stop. After his morning run, he did not plan to return to the hotel, but went directly to school to study.
It's not that he wants to live near the Zhou family, but the Zhou family is worried that it's too far away from home and inconvenient, so they deliberately chose No. 23 Middle School, which is close to home, and it's also convenient for Zhou Ye to go home to cook and take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Now Lu Jinchao has to take this inevitable road.
A girl who was buying breakfast at the steamed bun shop in front waved at Lu Jinzhao: "Brother!"
