Capítulo 1706: Chapter 1707: The Extra Childhood Friend 93
Zhang Yu really thinks this little couple will keep making a fuss. There’s nothing she can do; both Zhou Kai and Zhao Xuan possess a certain performative personality.
But it doesn’t matter. Occasionally enjoying so drama, life is quite pleasant. She doesn’t live in the faculty housing, but that’s okay. Several kids from the housing area attend the sa school, plus Zhou Kai and the other two are trending figures, so there’s no worry about missing out on updates.
She just never expected to find herself in the middle of the drama one day, watching Zhou Kai in front of her babbling about how he likes her. She ntally cursed his female ancestors—this is just insane. “You’re saying you like ?”
Zhou Kai suppressed his displeasure. He had no choice; he had been working hard on his studies, listened earnestly in class, and finished assignnts conscientiously. Even the exercises he disliked most, he tried hard to complete.
Originally, he thought his grades would improve, given his unprecedented seriousness. But cruel reality struck—his grades not only didn’t progress as he expected, they couldn’t even maintain existing levels and actually fell.
He’s now at the bottom of the class ranking. My god, he used to be so indignant, puzzled why he was only middle-ranked in such a bad class; now he realizes being middle-ranked was good.
After the grades and ranking ca out, Zhou Kai endured a stern lecture from Zhou Jian and his wife, and his tutoring classes only maintained the current level. As for his request to find a good teacher for extra tutoring, it was outright denied.
The reason given was that spending more money would be wasted, better to save it.
Zhou Kai felt resentful and unhappy, believing his parents didn’t consider his needs. He truly had been trying hard, but with no progress, it ant the current tutor wasn’t suitable, and he needed a better one. Otherwise, he’d be screwed, unable to get into a good university.
But his parents didn’t care about his words at all, saying unless they saw his grades improving, they wouldn’t spend a di.
This almost drove Zhou Kai mad with anger, but what could he do? Without their money, he had no options.
His parents might give up on him, but he absolutely wouldn’t give up on himself. Otherwise, he’d be dood. With an expression he believed was deeply earnest, he looked at Zhang Yu.
“Zhang Yu, I now realize the person I like is you.” In his heart, Zhou Kai silently apologized; he wasn’t intending to betray Zhao Xuan, just that the current situation was special.
“You like ?” Zhang Yu stared at Zhou Kai for a long ti, confused. “What about Zhao Xuan? You don’t like her anymore.”
“Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan.” Zhou Kai pursed his lips tightly. “I treat her as a sister.”
“Oh, then I also treat you as a neighbor, kindergarten, elentary and middle school classmate.” Zhang Yu replied smoothly.
Zhou Kai originally thought that after making so many sacrifices, Zhang Yu would be excited and eager, readily accepting. Who would’ve thought she’d react this way, completely different from his expectations.
“Didn’t you always quite like ?” Zhou Kai asked, panicked. If Zhang Yu didn’t like him anymore, all of his plans would be unfeasible.
In her heart, Zhang Yu felt it wasn’t worth it for the original person. See, Zhou Kai only likes getting admiration from people, and then, like a fool, they spend money on him.
“I never confessed.”
“No need to speak based on your so-called feelings. I know you’re actually a pair with Zhao Xuan.”
“By the way, Zhou Kai, as a classmate who grew up with you, I should say, if you want to act, pay attention to so small details.”
“Whenever you call , it’s always full-na Zhang Yu. You call Zhao Xuan as Xiao Xuan—everything lies in the way you address us.”
“You ranked last in the class this end-term exam, right? If you don’t put in more effort, seriously, you’ll need to switch classes.”
“Given your rotten grades, your parents must be very dissatisfied with you too. They probably won’t be willing to pay for tutoring.”
“Are you thinking again of , this naive and gullible fool with money?” Zhang Yule sneered, “Such a pity, I’m not the old now.”
“Moreover, speaking of you.” Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Kai for a long ti, “I must say, as a student, good grades make you appear vibrant and energetic.”
“It’s been a while since you looked in the mirror, hasn’t it? Your current state, really, you look utterly lacking in spirit.”
“Pull yourself together, otherwise if your mind goes bad and your spirit fades, you’ll really be dood.”
“Make a good effort, or you’ll be farther from Zhao Xuan; if you want to marry her, you’re dreaming.” They’re still stuck together, no need to drag others into it.
Zhou Kai heard Zhang Yu’s sarcastic comnts about him and felt very annoyed. But hearing her express hope that they stay together brightened his eyes, “You—you actually think we’re suitable?”
“It’s not who thinks you’re suitable. Your relationship, why ask ? Shouldn’t you ask yourselves?”
“I’m just your classmate. Whether you’re together or not, frankly, it doesn’t have any monetary relevance to .”
“Also, regarding Zhao Xuan, she probably wouldn’t like seeing you tangling with other won.” Bringing out Zhou Jian and his wife wouldn’t be very effective, so better bring Zhao Xuan into it.
“Is that so?” Zhou Kai hadn’t even considered this, upon hearing Zhang Yu say it, he urgently inquired further.
“That’s how I think, though you should know I’m not familiar with Zhao Xuan.” She couldn’t possibly say Zhao Xuan looks down on Zhou Kai like this now.
So matters, as an outsider, are better left unengaged in, let them resolve it between themselves.
Unfamiliar? Zhou Kai frowned hearing Zhang Yu say this, unhappy, “Zhang Yu, how can you say that?”
“Saying that in front of , I won’t mind, but if you say it in front of Xiao Xuan, she’ll be heartbroken.” Zhou Kai stated seriously.
OMG, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but curse rudely, leaving Zhou Kai dumbfounded, “You—you how, Zhang Yu, how can you be so vulgar.”
He genuinely never imagined Zhang Yu could speak so roughly, truly stunned him.
Hmph, calling her vulgar? “It’s better than so who calculate against long-ti friends.”
“At least I’m straightforward, never scheming against others.”
“So people, looking dignified, actually harbor malicious intent, plotting against others.”
“Now seeing grade declines, getting anxious, parents not giving money, planning to pull old tricks yet acting superior.”
Zhang Yu snorted coldly, “Since you want others to pay up, lower yourself and be prepared to be submissive.”
“Spoiled you rotten.”
