Chapter 15: It turns out that she talks nonsense with open eyes

“If I say I didn’t go, then it means I didn’t go. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhou Sisi!”

Could she have misunderstood this bastard?

With suspicion, Xu Xuelin sent Zhou Sisi a message on WeChat.

After a while, the doorbell in the living room rang.

Xu Xuelin stepped forward to open the door, “Sisi, why are you here?”

“Hello, Auntie. Lu Xi left ‘five-three’ at home so I came here to return it.” Zhou Sisi said obediently and continued, “Tonight he made up with an hour of physics.”

(TN: five-three — 5 – year college entrance examination and 3 – year middle school entrance examination simulation)

In fact, a few minutes ago, she went out to drop garbage and heard that Auntie Xu seemed to be criticizing Lu Xi.

“This brat …..” Xu Xuelin cleared her throat and asked “studied physics?”

Sisi had good grades and a good personality, so she definitely wouldn’t lie. Xu Xuelin completely believed what she said.

Leaning against the door frame, Lu Xi asked in a peculiar voice: “Did you hear it? Mom?”

“Listen to what, stand up straight for me! Stand upright!” Xu Xuelin could not apologize to her son due to her face. “If you are like this, are you fooling yourself by making up lessons?”

The way Aunt Xu communicates……It didn’t seem good. Zhou Sisi’s brows furrowed.

“What?” With Sisi’s presence, his anger rekindled at twice the usual speed.

Xu Xuelin raised her eyebrows. “You have the nerve to ask, huh? You are always messing around and do not think about progress. Making you study is as hard as pulling a cow up a tree!”

“Auntie…” Zhou Sisi whispered, “Listen to me…”

Realizing that there was still a little girl in the room, Xu Xuelin resisted the urge to clean up Lu Xi, and used the softest tone she could put on at the moment: “What does Sisi want to tell me?”

“In the make-up class, Lu Xi’s attitude was…” Zhou Sisi looked at the teenager who seemed to be stubbed out with thorns around him. “He was pretty good and he accomplished the task as requested.”

“He’s getting better every time.”

She also said: “It was also Lu Xi who took the initiative and suggested the day before yesterday to supplement with physics and chemistry.”

“He can take the initiative…? The initiative to offer supplementary lessons?” Xu Xuelin was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Sisi nodded. “Yes, chemistry on every Tuesday, and physics on every Thursday.”

“Will taking make-up classes every week for Lu Xi delay Sisi’s schedule?”

Xu Xuelin was so busy at work that she had previously squeezed in some time to find after-school tutoring classes for Lu Xi, but either the location was too far away and the time was not suitable, or it didn’t look reliable. Having learned from the “Electronic Shorthand” scam, she didn’t dare to choose a training institution carelessly for her son.

“It’s alright.” Zhou Sisi replied the same as she did a month ago, “There will be no delay.”

“Thank you so much, Sisi.” Xu Xuelin sincerely thanked her.

“Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite. Well, then I’ll go home first. “

“Okay, goodbye.”

After seeing her back was completely out of sight, Lu Xi turned his head and went back to the room.

Not only did she not blow his cover, but……

The model children of other families, good third-rate students, turned out to speak nonsense with open eyes.

⸙ ⸙ ⸙ 

At the beginning of May, Zhou Sisi, Mo Yifan, and Tang Yang Zhang, who was a freshman in high school, went to the provincial capital to participate in the finals of the English speech contest.

Zhou Sisi and Tang Yang Zhang sat next to each other on the departure train.  

“You lied to me.” Tang Yang Zhang said.

Zhou Sisi, who just placed the backpack: “Huh?”

“You’ve been preparing for your speech a long time ago.”

“Last time at a print shop, you got English materials.”

“You lied to me, it’s not about preparing for the game.”

Tang Yang Zhang fired sentences one after another coldly as if he was throwing a bean.

“Really no.” Zhou Sisi said, “I didn’t know there was an English speech contest at that time.”

Tang Yang Zhang:” Then what did you do with English materials?”

Zhou Sisi: “Help Lu Xi.”

“Lu Xi?” Tang Yan Zhang shifted his gaze to Zhou Sisi’s face. “What is he going to do?”

Zhou Sisi: “Study.”

“How could he learn?” Tang Yan Zhang asked rhetorically.

“He is learning.” She didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Mo Yifan just came to the aisle at the right time. “Tang Yang Zhang, can you change seats with me? I’m sitting at 8D.”

“I don’t want to change.” Tang Yan Zhang said.

Mo Yifan also didn’t give up. “Please do me a favor, I have a question to ask Zhou…”

“I’ll exchange with you.” Zhou Sisi walked straight away with her bag.

“Ah Zhou Sisi, I…”

“Sister Sisi—”

“I want to sit with you, no,” Mo Yifan, who was chasing after her. “I want to discuss doubts with you.”

Zhou Sisi: “You can discuss with Tang Yang Zhang, he’s very good.”

Mo Yifan was anxious, “I…”

“I’m sorry, I want to rest.” Zhou Sisi plugged in her headphones, played English recordings, and closed her eyes to rest.

⸙ ⸙ ⸙ 

The news that Mo Yifan won the first prize, Zhou Sisi and Tang Yan Zhang won the second prize, arrived at school earlier than they had come.

A large red banner was hung outside the school’s administration complex, facing the morning sun of late spring and early summer.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Mo Yifan spoke on behalf of the three honorees.

Zhou Sisi, who was medium to short, stood at the front line of the class.

Yesterday afternoon, Yi Ting had a fever, so she took sick leave and didn’t come this morning, so after the dissolution, Zhou Sisi walked alone to the teaching building.

“Zhou Sisi!” Mo Yifan quickly followed from the flag-raising platform as he said, “Did the news broadcasting department look for you?”

Zhou Sisi replied, “No.”

“I guess it won’t be long before they come to the door. They said they want to interview us.” Mo Yifan said.

Zhou Sisi: “Can I not be interviewed? I don’t want to do this.”

Mo Yifan: “Uh… yeah.”

Zhou Si Si leaned a little towards the curb. It shouldn’t be an illusion that there were more eyes on her than usual from all sides.

There were whispers around her, but when they passed by, they kept quiet.

The people who thought they were well covered were actually ogling openly, and the emotions they carried were not kind or neutral.

She felt a little uncomfortable.

It soon proved that it was not that she was too sensitive.

“Are you and Brother Mo in a relationship?” Before class, a female classmate close to Lu Meihe asked Zhou Sisi with a smile.

“What are you talking about?” Zhou Sisi said, “I haven’t had a relationship with anyone which was more than normal.” 

The female classmate covered her mouth, but her voice was loud enough for the people around her to hear. “Impossible, many people say that you are in a relationship. You don’t know his junior high school, oops, how could you…”

“Don’t spread rumors.” Zhou Sisi opened the textbook. “The teacher will arrive soon, please return to your seat.”

At the same time.

On the Fourth teaching building, junior (1) classroom.

“Mo Yifan is so arrogant, it’s disgusting.” Huang Zhou swiped his phone with his head slanted down.

In the history class, relying on the teacher’s good temper, Huang Zhou changed his position with Pan De in the back row without consent.

Lu Xi lay on the desk to catch up on sleep, didn’t listen to the teacher’s lecture on the stage, and at the same time complained of the “tablemate” next to him.

“It’s only been a few years since junior high school, this dog has been in love eight times and cheated six times!”

“This dog looks like a serious nerd but also caused the girl’s belly to grow bigger. My ass! What a piece of shit!”

As Huang Zhou scrolled down and pulled the post, his eyes suddenly turned into big copper bells. “Look here, look, Axi Axi!”

“Why are you screaming?” Lu Xi yawned.

“Senior Sister Sisi and Mo Yifan’s pair…”

“Bullshit.” Instantly Lu Xi lost all sleepiness and bolted out.

“I didn’t say that.” Huang Zhou handed over his phone under the cover of the desk. “Someone said it on the post-bar, it’s a popular post.”

Lu Xi placed his feet on the vertical bar next to the chair, and he browsed from the first floor at a glance.

The first few paragraphs of the article describe Mo YF’s personal relationship history and style, followed by Mo YF’s current relationship with Zhou SS, with several photos of the two speaking face to face and walking side by side.

Lu Xi’s face suddenly sank.

“No, Axi, don’t use my account to swear at people!” Huang Zhou hurriedly grabbed the phone.

The irritability in Lu Xi’s body was like a storm, and for a moment, he forgot that he also had a mobile phone in his backpack. “Give it to me.”

“Lu Xi—” The history teacher tapped the chalk as he complained, “What are you and Huang Zhou doing during class time?”

To these students, he originally turned a blind eye, but their movements affected the attention of other students, so he had to intervene.

Huang Zhou squinted his face. “Teacher, exchange textbook questions, we are discussing history questions.”

“You get up and say, what I just taught?” The history teacher asked.

Huang Zhou tucked the phone into his pant pocket while his eyes abrasively searched for help from the front and the right side classmates. “Speaking… to…”

“Lu Xi, you answer.” The history teacher pointed again.

Lu Xi stood up and replied, “I don’t know.”

The history teacher pointed out with a chalk head. “You two go to the corridor and stand honestly.” 

A shaft of sunlight poured down the corridor, mixing with the lectures given by teachers from the upstairs and downstairs classes.

The two teenagers who were punished for standing found a blind spot from the history teacher’s sight.

“Mobile phone.” Lu Xi stretched out his hand.

Huang Zhou put forward a condition: “I can give it to you, but you can’t swear by my name.”

“I’m not going to reply to the post.” Lu Xi’s expression was a lot calmer than before when he just read the post.

Huang Zhou handed over his mobile phone to Lu Xi and stretched his neck to monitor.

“Why are you sending the post link to your WeChat?”

“It’s nothing.”

Huang Zhou: “You want to apply for deletion? Don’t bother to complain, just say a word to the administrator on my WeChat.”

Lu Xi: “Which one?”

Huang Zhou: “Brother Luobo. A sassy old man.”

On Tuesday evening, Zhou Sisi gave Lu Xi chemistry class.

She summarized the chapter key points and asked him to do the exercises directly at present.

The early summer night was as quiet as water. With a subtle rustling sound when the tip of the pen brushed the paper.

Lu Xi solved two multiple-choice questions. “Well ……”

“Huh?” Zhou Sisi put down the textbook. “Which question do you have doubts about?”

Who asked the question?

Lu Xi scratched his hair. “Two days ago there was a post that you were in love…”

“I didn’t.” Zhou Sisi said.

“I know.” Lu Xi pressed his thumb on the second knuckle of his index finger. “I meant to say that the person who posted false posts two days ago was Hu Guomin from the second year (1) class of the high school.”

Zhou Sisi frowned slightly.

Hu Guomin…

It was not surprising to say that it was an accident.

Although Hu Guomin did not do this in her last life, she also used a lot of means to slander her behind her back. The funniest thing was that she had always regarded this kind of villain as a friend, and she didn’t know about this until she went to college and learned from the mouths of others.

I thought that breaking up with Hu Guomin early in my life would be able to avoid this villain’s pit…

“How do you know it’s Hu Guomin?” Zhou Sisi turned her face to him.

Looking at the practice questions, he lightly said: “I found it from someone.”

He didn’t say what harsh terms he agreed to in order to ask his cousin to help him.

“Oh.” Zhou Sisi’s face showed a little bit of annoyance.

Lu Xi almost immediately asked. “Do you want her to apologize to you? Do you want me to teach her a lesson?”
