The students in the school, apart from studying every day, pay the most attention to entertainment and gossip, especially regarding their schoolmates.
Because of Yuan Shaozhou’s incident, almost no one in the second year of high school didn’t know about Zhu Tong. On top of that, he’s someone that wasn’t easy to be messed with.
But their understanding was very one-sided. In order to rectify that, few people dare to make friends with Zhu Tong directly. But they’re still mere acquaintances, they didn’t know Zhu Tong that deep.
It turns out that Zhu Tong has an older brother, specifically unrelated by blood? Just what does Zhou Sui mean when he suddenly mentions something about “robbing property”?
A giant drama was about to be staged, and almost everyone who heard Zhou Sui’s words stopped and watched.
Zhu Tong’s face sank and looked at him.
The lighting on the playground was not very good, but Zhou Sui could still see Zhu Tong’s distorted expression. The corner of his lips rose, unavoidably a little proud.
He said that on purpose.
Except for the medicine at the beginning, everything he sent out after that was in vain, and Zhu Tong made it clear that he didn’t want to see him.
It was obvious that Qin Junhong had already sent him a WeChat message.
If it wasn’t for him not believing that he was Qin Junhong’s friend, then there was only one explanation – Zhu Tong, like Qin Junhong, was a person who had two faces. Simply put, he didn’t trust Qin Junhong at all.
Thanks to Qin Junhong’s self-proclaimed cleverness, he thought that everyone in the Zhu family had been deceived by him.
But it doesn’t matter if Zhu Tong doesn’t trust Qin Junhong, he has a way to make Zhu Tong unable to refuse him.
Zhou Sui said, “Your older brother really cares about you, he’s afraid that you won’t be able to adapt to the school here. He had asked me to take care of you several times. You have been sick and hospitalized for all these years, and he is helping your father and taking care of you. Even if you don’t accept his love, it’s impolite to be so indifferent to his effort.”
His tone was relaxed, causing an uproar in the crowd.
“What do you mean? The things Zhou Sui gave to Zhu Tong weren’t to pursue him, but were something Zhu Tong’s older brother asked for?”
“I heard that Zhu Tong threw all those things. So he doesn’t want those?”
“Listening to Zhou Sui, Zhu Tong’s older brother is very kind to him, but Zhu Tong’s attitude seems a bit strange.”
“An older brother who is not related by blood… is he a step-brother? A step-son also seems to have the right to inherit. Zhu Tong doesn’t like his older brother, will he…”
Zhou Sui’s choice of words were very deliberate.
Brothers who have no blood relationship, Zhu Tong’s father must be married for the second time. Listening to Zhou Sui’s meaning, Zhu Tong’s father still values his older brother very much, and Zhu Tong was not in good health. The reason why his father values his step-son was self-evident.
What is the reason why Zhu Tong doesn’t like his older brother?
Discussions amongst the crowd were getting heated up. Zhou Sui listened to their various guesses with satisfaction.
Zhu Tong and Qin Junhong pretended to have a harmonious relationship in front of outsiders. There were always so many fake people in this kind of rich family.
But since they have that fake mask in the first place, it meant that they didn’t want this facade to be known.
He approached Zhu Tong in the name of Qin Junhong. If Zhu Tong didn’t want to be called “callous”, “jealous” and “not knowing what to do”, then he could no longer blatantly reject him!
Zhou Sui looked at Zhu Tong triumphantly. He wanted to know how Zhu Tong could save the “relationship” between him and his brother in front of outsiders.
When he looked up, he found that Zhu Tong was just looking at him blankly.
That look, it’s as if he was just a trivial jumping clown!
The smile on Zhou Sui’s face froze.
Zhu Tong opened his mouth and said, “He cares so much about me? Then how many times has he ignored my wishes and asked you to give me those things?”
Zhou Sui: “…”
Zhou Sui smiled and said, “That’s just your opinion, and I just have a good relationship with your older brother, incomparable to your brotherhood. I naturally have to take care of you, I don’t know what you like, so I picked a few more for you. I never thought you would be this heartless.”
Then he sighed, “I know you have some misunderstandings about your older brother because of your family affairs, but you can’t discard his kindness like that.”
When he said the word “older brother” he specifically emphasized it with a helpless tone.
It made the crowd’s thoughts go wild. Was their relationship strained because of misunderstanding at home? What kind of misunderstanding?
The step-son who got high hopes from the family, while the blood-related son was too weak and sick. Surely Zhu Tong wasn’t reconciled with the status quo, right?
It made Zhu Tong sound unreasonable, making trouble out of nowhere.
The crowds’ discussion quieted. They wanted to hear Zhu Tong’s response.
As for Zhu Tong, he kept silent during this, only carefully listening.
He never mentioned family affairs at school, and Zhou Sui’s affairs were not meant to be dealt with at school at all.
However, he kept being ignorant and insisted on making trouble in the school.
In that case, don’t blame him for not giving face.
Just as he was about to speak, his shoulders sank slightly, and a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind him.
A familiar and pleasant voice sounded in his ear, “Senior, I think it’s you who misunderstood the situation.”
Shao Ming had already pushed his bicycle over, steadying it with one hand and holding Zhu Tong with the other, looking at Zhou Sui who was standing opposite of them.
Zhou Sui saw him appear, his eyes darkened.
Shao Ming smiled and said, “The reason why Zhu Tong rejected you has nothing to do with his older brother.”
Zhu Tong looked at him unexpectedly, not understanding what he meant by suddenly saying this.
Zhou Sui did not speak.
Shao Ming suddenly sighed, “It’s actually because of me.”
Zhu Tong: “?”
He rejected those things not because he hated Zhou Sui? But something to do with Shao Ming?
The crowd looked over curiously.
Shao Ming said, “It’s my fault that I am too jealous. Zhu Tong threw away all the things you gave to cajole me.”
Zhu Tong: “???”
The crowd:”!!”
Whose jealousy is too strong again?
Someone gave Zhu Tong things, so why should Zhu Tong be the one that cajole you?!
What is your relationship?
Many pairs of flabbergasted eyes immediately focused on this pair of deskmates. Zhu Tong also looked at Shao Ming in amazement.
His surprise was too obvious, Zhou Sui knew at a glance that he was talking nonsense, so he laughed it off. “This junior, are you joking?”
Shao Ming suddenly tightened his hands, leaned his head against Zhu Tong, and said with a smile, “Senior, do you think I’m joking?”
Zhou Sui: “…”
The smile on Zhou Sui’s face narrowed by two points. Because Zhu Tong did not resist.
Qin Junhong told him that Zhu Tong was very repulsive of contact with outsiders. At home, he never had contact with anyone except his sister, and he seldom even spoke. But now, he is being held by Shao Ming in his arms, and he has no intention of resisting at all.
It doesn’t matter whether Shao Ming’s words are true or not, his actions have already caused the crowd to gasp and gossip.
Since Zhu Tong’s transfer, the school forum has built a CP building for Shao Ming and Zhu Tong, but not long after, the forum was closed, and the CP building “collapsed”.
The platform might have collapsed, but the hearts of these shippers sure are not.
Now that Shao Ming suddenly said these words, it can be said that it was earth-shattering. It easily mind-blown the heads of many girls.
The crowd got noisy. Their discussion started to deviate from the original one, to this “shocking news”.
The scene gradually got out of control, Zhou Sui’s expression changed. He could only say, “You…”
“As for me, I’m not only jealous, but also possessive,” Shao Ming casually interrupted him, “So if Senior sends something else, it’s hard for me to guarantee that I won’t do anything.”
He said those threatening words with a polite smell, signaling his willingness to escalate the situation. But then, screams broke out on the playground, some people quickly raised their mobile phones, and the flash lights on the playground flashed like a reporter’s interview scene.
No one cares about the gossip about the wealthy.
After all, that kind of gossip is based on unfounded guesses. But this sudden candy1if something romantic/hinting about your CP being real happen, it’s called “candy”, because it’s sweet~ is real!
And it came from Shao Ming himself!
Other CPs are purely based on delusions, but this CP is official!
Ming-ge is truly mighty!
Zhou Sui could only grit out: “Junior, have you finished talking?”
It was clear that he wanted to save Zhu Tong.
Zhu Tong’s head short-circuited for a moment before he finally reacted. Shao Ming was only worried that he would refute this.
He smiled at Shao Ming and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“…”
Shao Ming looked down at him. He didn’t talk nonsense anymore, but he still didn’t let his hands go. It was still perched on Zhu Tong’s body.
Zhu Tong also let him put his arms around him, looked at Zhou Sui and said, “I don’t know what you are aiming for by waiting for me downstairs today to say these words. You said that Qin Junhong asked you to take care of me at school? I don’t think our relationship is that good to warrant such care.”
“…”
Zhu Tong continued, “There is no misunderstanding between me and him. I did get sick and was hospitalized for several years, but he visited me in the hospital only a handful of times. I really can’t talk about how much he took care of me. I didn’t need him to take care of me before, and I don’t need it now. I especially don’t need him to make such a show of caring for me in school.”
Zhou Sui did not expect that Zhu Tong would so directly separate his relationship with Qin Junhong.
‘He said that Qin Junhong’s concern for him was just a show? Isn’t he afraid to tear his facade in front of Qin Junhong?’
Zhou Sui was not reconciled that the “conflict between the rich” was so easily resolved like this. “Zhu Tong, your brother…”
“Also,” Zhu Tong suddenly looked directly at him, his voice cold, “If he really cared about me, he wouldn’t let a disgusting person like you jump in front of me in the name of ‘caring’ for me.”
“…”
“…”
This was quite ruthless. Zhou Sui was choked up, forgetting what he was going to say, and the last trace of smile on his face vanished.
He clenched the hand holding his own bicycle sharply.
‘What did Zhu Tong say to me? I’m disgusting?’
He never thought that the word “disgusting” would be used to describe him.
Some people in the crowd whispered, “Whatever the situation is, don’t you think that using such an adjective is too harsh?”
“It seems that the relationship between Zhu Tong and his older brother is really bad. To be so ruthless, isn’t Zhou Sui his older brother’s friend?”
“Do you really believe in the brotherhood that Zhou Sui said? Zhu Tong refused Zhou Sui from the very beginning. Didn’t Zhou Sui rush to scold him?”
“I think what Zhu Tong said makes sense. Zhu Tong can even send Yuan Shaozhou to the hospital. Does he want anything? Does he need someone else to help him? Isn’t this purely for a show?”
The surrounding discussions made Zhou Sui’s face distorted even further. He was about to refute, but Zhu Tong had turned to Shao Ming and said, “Let’s go.”
Shao Ming glanced at him and replied, “Okay.” Seeing that Zhou Sui seemed to have something to say, he smiled again and spoke first: “Senior, for your future endeavors, I suggest you change your mode of transportation. Although I have been imitated and never surpassed, when I see someone imitating me, I’m also very disgusted.”
Zhou Sui’s words were choked in his throat again.
He stared at the bicycle he was riding to take Zhu Tong back, only to feel that a mouthful of old blood was choked up and he couldn’t spit it out.
‘Who the fuck am I imitating? This is the bicycle I always ride!’
But obviously Shao Ming’s words have been heard by the onlookers.
Most of the onlookers were high school sophomores. These days, they often see Shao Ming carrying Zhu Tong out of school. Zhou Sui came to look for Zhu Tong today, and he happened to propose to use a bicycle to take Zhu Tong back. What is this imitation?
One boy had already started to have an opinion on Zhu Tong because of Zhou Sui’s words, but now he feels ashamed.
‘With such obvious ulterior motives, Zhou Sui’s words cannot be believed at all!’ he lamented his previous naivete.
Now, it’s simply impossible to ask Zhu Tong further, who already went with Shao Ming.
‘Also, what is Zhu Tong’s older brother’s friend, so it seems that Zhu Tong’s older brother is not a good person.’
‘The world of the rich is really deep. I can’t trust the one-sided words of others.’
The topic was quite wild today, from the suspected Zhu Tong’s “disharmonious relationship” with his older brother to the sudden candy with Shao Ming. Now, many of them just screamed uncontrollable when Zhu Tong left with Shao Ming.
Zhou Sui tried to steal a chicken, but ended up losing the rice2idiom; trying to do a bad thing only to backfire, losing more in result. The rice in the idiom refers to the bait used to lure the chicken.. Standing on the playground, he was being discussed by others in every direction, as if he was being publicly executed.
