Zhao Xiuna hadn’t recovered when she got home.
Her daughter was first in the class?
Zhou Jiaming had finished playing his game at this point.
Hearing the commotion, he rushed out of his bedroom.
“Mom, you’re back?
How was it?
Did Zhou Yining fail again?
Did her homeroom teacher criticize her again?”
Zhou Jiaming was waiting to see Zhou Yining’s misfortune.
He looked at Zhao Xiuna with anticipation.
Zhao Xiuna shook her head.
“No, your sister got first place in her class this time, 18th in the grade, with a total score of 682.
With that score, a top-tier university should be no problem.”
The smile froze on Zhou Jiaming’s face.
“Impossible, impossible, how could she score so well?
She must have cheated.”
Zhao Xiuna actually felt that her daughter wasn’t the type to study.
She was both happy and apprehensive about Zhou Yining’s grades.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Yining walked into the living room with a cold smile.
“What’s wrong?
You think I cheated to get first place?
It was a city-wide unified final exam, with the classroom cameras on.
How could I cheat?
Zhou Jiaming, I sometimes feel sorry for you.
You’re so young and already brain-damaged.
There’s no hope for the rest of your life.”
“Zhou Yining, why are you so mean?
And did I say anything wrong?
If you didn’t cheat, how could you get such a high score?” Zhou Jiaming still refused to admit defeat.
“Crazy, what’s wrong?
Is it that hard to admit that someone is better than you?
Besides, with your IQ, shouldn’t everyone be better than you?
Sorry, I forgot you’re brain-damaged.” Zhou Yining curled her lips at him.
Zhou Jiaming was almost enraged.
He shouted loudly, “Impossible, you must have cheated, you must have cheated!
Mom, look at her.”
“Alright, alright, say less.
You should be happy that your sister is doing well in school,” Zhao Xiuna quickly advised, seeing that she was losing control.
Zhou Yining glared at Zhou Jiaming, then went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and went back to lie down on her small bed.
High school life was really hard.
She loved lying in bed too much.
Around six in the evening, Zhou Yuanfei also arrived home.
Zhao Xiuna had just finished cooking and called everyone to eat.
After Zhou Yining sat down, as if remembering something, Zhou Yuanfei asked,
“How did Zhou Yining do on her exam?”
“Yining got first place in her class this time.
Her homeroom teacher praised her for a long time,” Zhao Xiuna said with a smile.
Zhou Yuanfei’s face, which had sunk, softened a little, and he asked,
“Really?”
“Yes, the teacher praised Yining in front of all the parents and talked to me separately, saying that the child is very motivated now, and we as parents can’t hold her back.”
“That’s natural.” Zhou Yuanfei was in a good mood, and even Zhou Yining looked more pleasing to the eye.
He softened his tone and said, “Yining, why didn’t you tell us that you got first place in the class?”
Zhou Yining sneered twice, looking at Zhou Yuanfei.
“How would I dare?
I got first place in the class, and some people are so jealous that they insist I cheated.
I took the exam in the sixth testing hall, and everyone in the entire hall was outside the top two hundred in the grade.
Did I gain the power of foresight to cheat and get 18th in the grade?”
As soon as Zhou Jiaming heard that this was directed at him, he immediately became anxious.
“So what?
You used to be bad at studying.
What?
Can’t I reasonably suspect you?”
“Are you the only one who’s blind?
Do you think the teachers at our school are blind too?
If I had cheated, the homeroom teacher would have told her long ago,”
Zhou Yining snorted and continued eating her meal.
“Dad, look at her!” Zhou Jiaming couldn’t win against Zhou Yining himself, so he started asking Zhou Yuanfei for help again.
Zhou Yuanfei frowned and glared at Zhou Jiaming.
“Alright, don’t talk about your sister like that.
It’s a good thing that she got first place.”
Saying that, Zhou Yunfei smiled at Zhou Yining again.
“Yining, study hard in high school, and your mom and I will definitely support you fully.”
“Sure, didn’t you buy Zhou Jiaming some expensive shoes a few days ago?
I don’t want much, give me a thousand yuan as a reward for getting first place this time,”
Zhou Yining said, finishing the last bite of her rice and leaning lazily against the back of her chair.
Zhou Yuanfei’s face changed.
“Zhou Yining, don’t go too far.”
Zhou Yining sneered at him.
“See?
You’re showing your true colors now, aren’t you?
Stop pretending to be a good person.
I know what kind of person you are very well.
Zhou Yuanfei, even if my grades are good, don’t think that I’ll take care of you in the future.
Let me tell you, dream on.
You should take care of your precious son and stop acting like a loving father here.
It’s disgusting.”
Saying that, she ignored Zhou Yuanfei’s ferocious gaze.
Zhou Yining got up and went to the bathroom, complaining as she walked, “So disgusting, I’m about to throw up.”
“Damn it, Zhou Yining, you bastard, I can’t give you a good face, why don’t you die, you’re making me angry, angry, I’m not eating anymore,” Zhou Yuanfei said, throwing his chopsticks and returning to his room.
Zhou Jiaming curled his lips.
He was getting more and more upset.
Zhou Yining ignored Zhou Yuanfei’s anger.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face and then returned to her small bed.
Since Zhou Yining transmigrated, she had placed all her personal belongings on the table.
She used her phone to play movies while eating potato chips and drinking yogurt.
She couldn’t have been more comfortable.
Zhou Jiaming passed by her door and saw that Zhou Yining was so comfortable.
He was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn’t provoke Zhou Yining and returned to his room.
Zhou Yining drank some yogurt and received a WeChat message from Jiang Xizhi.
Jiang Xizhi: [Vacation has started, so boring. (Cat spreading out jpg)]
Zhou Yining looked at the emoticon of the kitten spreading its belly, and the corners of her lips curved up.
She quickly typed a reply.
Zhou Yining: [With so many test papers and workbooks left, how can you be bored? (Dog smirking jpg)]
When Jiang Xizhi saw that Zhou Yining had replied to her, she hurriedly opened her phone to read it.
Seeing Zhou Yining mention homework, her whole person wilted again.
Zhou Yining was good in every way, but she was too fond of studying and liked to make her study with her.
Jiang Xizhi pouted pitifully and typed a few lines on her phone.
Jiang Xizhi: [Can you talk about something other than vacation homework? (Cat sighing jpg)]
Zhou Yining: [Then, what is my little fox doing? Missing me?]
When Jiang Xizhi saw this message, she rolled around on her soft bed a couple of times before replying to Zhou Yining.
Jiang Xizhi: [I miss you a little. Do you want to come over and stay with me for a few days? (Cat expecting jpg)]
Zhou Yining: [Do you miss me?]
When Jiang Xizhi saw the reply, the tips of her ears turned red.
She buried her face in the blanket and mumbled softly, “Why do I always have to take the initiative?”
While Jiang Xizhi was mumbling, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
It was Liang Jing who had brought her milk.
As soon as Liang Jing entered the room, she saw her daughter staring at her phone with a smile on her face, mumbling something under her breath.
“Zhizhi?
Who are you chatting with so happily?
Is it Zhang Ye?”
Jiang Xizhi rubbed her face against the blanket.
“It’s not Zhang Ye, I’m talking to Zhou Zhou.”
Liang Jing understood.
It was the girl who had come to coax her daughter at her birthday party last time.
She had given her daughter a little fox, which her daughter treasured so much that no one else was allowed to touch it.
“Oh, then you chat, but don’t forget to drink your milk,” Liang Jing instructed.
“Okay, I know,” Jiang Xizhi replied, her eyes glued to her phone and not looking at Liang Jing once.
Liang Jing felt strange.
Did her daughter like this classmate so much?
Jiang Xizhi didn’t know what her mother was thinking.
She quickly replied to Zhou Yining.
Although she was a little shy to take the initiative, taking the initiative led to stories!
If she didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t see Zhou Yining for several days.
Jiang Xizhi: [I miss you.
Are you coming over to stay with me?
(Cat expecting jpg)]
Zhou Yining: [Okay, but I can only come over for a few days.
I have to go to a training camp for the essay competition in a few days.]
Jiang Xizhi: [Really?! What time will you come over tomorrow?]
Zhou Yining: [I’ll go over tomorrow morning.
I’ll bring my test papers and workbooks so we can do our summer homework together. (Dog proud jpg)]
Jiang Xizhi: [Waaaaa~ Ahhh, is there anything else in your head besides studying?]
Zhou Yining was amused by the young lady.
She could imagine Jiang Xizhi’s cute appearance when she was freaking out.
She ate a few potato chips and continued to type with a smile.
Zhou Yining: [Okay, okay, I’m just teasing you.
But besides studying, you’re the only thing left in my head.
(Dog snuggling jpg)]
When Jiang Xizhi saw this reply, her heart started bubbling with pink bubbles.
She happily rolled around on the bed a few times before continuing to reply.
Jiang Xizhi: [That’s more like it.
Then I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow morning!]
Zhou Yining: [Okay, see you tomorrow morning.]
After chatting with Jiang Xizhi for a while, Zhou Yining lay down to rest.
The one thing lacking in high school was sleep.
It was only ten o’clock, but she was already too sleepy to keep her eyes open.
Zhou Yining had a rare good night’s sleep.
The next morning, around seven o’clock, she was woken up by Zhou Yuanfei’s noise.
Zhou Yining got up and started washing up.
When she was eating breakfast, she said to Zhao Xiuna and Zhou Yuanfei,
“I’m going to stay at a classmate’s house for a few days, and I’ll come back before I go to the training.”
Zhao Xiuna frowned.
“Which classmate? Is it Tian Xue?”
Zhou Yining shook her head.
“No, it’s a classmate from Class 1.
I went to her birthday party last time.
But how do you know Tian Xue?”
Zhao Xiuna’s eyes flickered and she said,
“I ran into her in the class yesterday.
She went back to get something.”
Zhou Yining felt that something was wrong, but she didn’t ask too much.
“I’ll leave in a while and won’t be back for a few days.”
“Is she a female classmate?
Yining, don’t mess around.
Your grades have finally improved, don’t do anything stupid,” Zhao Xiuna continued to nag.
Zhou Yuanfei snorted coldly.
“Don’t bother her.
Look at her now, acting like we owe her eight million.
Let her go.
It’ll be better for everyone if she’s not at home.”
Zhou Yining curled her lips at him coldly.
“Okay, I’ll leave now to make more room for you.”
Saying that, Zhou Yining got up and returned to her room.
She opened the floorboard, and there were a bunch of snack bags inside.
Zhou Yining wasn’t planning on leaving them here.
Zhou Jiaming’s hands weren’t clean, and Zhou Yining had discovered that her things had been touched many times.
However, she carried her valuable items with her, and there was nothing valuable left here, only some old clothes.
This time, she wasn’t leaving any snacks for Zhou Jiaming either.
Zhou Yining took out a bunch of snack bags and was about to leave.
Zhou Jiaming’s eyes widened.
“Zhou Yining, where are you going with so many delicious things?”
Zhou Yining turned to look at him and smiled at him.
“None of your business.”
After speaking, she ignored the furious Zhou Jiaming and left the house.
“Dad, Mom, look at her, Zhou Yining is getting more and more outrageous.
There are so many delicious things, can she finish them all herself?
She took them all away,” Zhou Jiaming was almost enraged.
Zhou Yuanfei knocked on the table.
“Alright, alright, isn’t it just some snacks?
Here’s a hundred yuan, go buy them yourself.”
“Oh Dad, one of her snack bags is full of imported snacks, worth several hundred yuan.
Zhou Yining isn’t thinking of letting us try them, she’s giving them all to her classmates.
She’s really favoring outsiders,” Zhou Jiaming continued angrily.
“Alright, those are your sister’s things.
Do you want me to buy them for you again?” Zhao Xiuna advised.
“Mom, why are you talking to her now?” Zhou Jiaming still couldn’t accept it and was furious.
“Jiaming, you’re still young.
If your sister gets good grades, she’ll be able to find a good job and marry into a good family in the future.
Then she can help you.
Don’t always make her angry,” Zhao Xiuna advised.
“Forget it, do you think she’ll take care of me?
I think she’s just hoping that I’ll be unlucky,” Zhou Jiaming complained.
“You child, you two are siblings.
Blood is thicker than water.
Don’t look at how you’re always arguing now, but if something really happens, your sister won’t ignore you.
Don’t provoke her in the future, do you hear me?” Zhao Xiuna continued to advise.
“I don’t want to!” Zhou Jiaming was so angry that he didn’t eat breakfast and returned to his room.
Zhou Yuanfei finally spoke at this moment.
“I think the same as you.
Since she’s still useful, then let’s be nicer to her in the future.
If she gets into a good university and finds a good job, she can also help our family.
If she marries a rich man, we can also ask for more dowry.
After all, I raised her for so long.”
Saying that, Zhou Yuanfei sighed and continued,
“If you have time, persuade Jiaming again and tell him to argue with Zhou Yining less in the future.
She’s still young and doesn’t understand now, but she’ll know when she grows up.
Having a sister to help him will make things easier for him.”
“That’s what I’m planning too, but I don’t know if she can maintain her grades.”
“Let’s take it one step at a time. If she only gets into a vocational school, I won’t pay a penny for her tuition,”
Zhou Yuanfei continued to scheme.
