Chapter 2: Scumbag: Bet With Qin Shiqing
"Hey, I'm asking you!" Seeing Su Zelin in a daze, Qin Shiqing frowned and reminded him again.
"Come on, Shiqing, do you think this guy is someone who suffers from insomnia due to anxiety before the exam? You believe this nonsense?!" Qin Shiqing's deskmate Tang Yan, a girl with short bob hair and side bangs, and a cool and capable appearance, complained.
As Qin Shiqing's best sister and Su Zelin's classmate for six years from junior high school to high school, she naturally knew the temperament of her childhood sweetheart. Qin Shiqing was also concerned and looked at Su Zelin a few more times. She found that Su Zelin's face was ruddy and energetic, and there was no sign of fatigue from insomnia.
"Su Zelin, you are really hopeless!" The girl's slight anger was also a different flavor.
"Qin Shiqing, why do you like to preach so much? It's so annoying. Anyway, there are only a few days left for the college entrance examination. With my grades, I'm just going to die!" After sorting out his thoughts and accepting the fact of rebirth, Su Zelin quickly got into the role and responded lazily.
Qin Shiqing felt helpless. Her childhood friend had no interest in studying since he was a child. She could not make him study and he wasted a good brain. She could only feel sorry for him.
"Su Zelin, by the way, your spoken English is really good. It's a bit like the foreigners in the movie. I didn't understand what you said to teacher Lisa at all!" Tang Yan spoke again, with a tone of surprise and indignation: "Why do you have better English grades than me even though you are so lazy?"
"Xiaoyanzi, you can't say that. I have also worked hard, okay!" Su Zelin laughed.
Xiaoyanzi is Tang Yan's nickname, because she has big and round eyes, a hot-tempered personality, speaks her mind, and opens her mouth like a machine gun. She looks a bit like Xiaoyanzi in Huanzhu Gege, but considering her appearance, she can only be regarded as a low-profile version.
The scoundrel said with a smirk: "In order to learn English, I often watch foreign language blockbusters at home!
"Really?" Xiaoyanzi was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Xiaoyanzi, don't listen to his nonsense!" Qin Shiqing spat, and a bright red cloud floated on her white jade face.
After whispering a few words to her deskmate, Xiaoyanzi suddenly realized.
"Bah, you bastard, you are so bad!"
The foreign language blockbusters that Su Zelin mentioned were not very serious. Once, Qin Shiqing helped Su Zelin's mother clean the whole house before the New Year, and found it under the bed board in this kid's room.
Tang Yan glared at Su Zelin fiercely.
I really don't understand, Shiqing is such a good girl, but her childhood sweetheart is a big jerk!
"No matter what kind of movie it is, a good movie is one that can improve English. Otherwise, how do you think my standard spoken English came from?" Su Zelin shrugged his shoulders, his face remained calm.
"Come on, didn't you just show off a few words of spoken English? Why are you feeling so proud!" Qin Shiqing couldn't bear to see his smug look, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Haha, this is called confidence, Qin Shiqing, do you believe that my English score can be higher than yours in the third mock test of the college entrance examination this week?" Su Zelin raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Before Qin Shiqing answered, the fair-skinned man with glasses sitting on the left couldn't help it anymore, "Su Zelin, are you worthy of comparing with Qin Shiqing? Aren't you afraid of the wind blowing your tongue?!"
"Qin Shiqing is both good in character and learning. As a study committee member and English class representative, she ranked first in the school in English in the second mock test of the college entrance examination last time, and what about you?" The man with glasses was full of disdain.
Zhao Mingxuan, the monitor of Class 2, Grade 3.
Su Zelin is a bad student and a scoundrel. Such people usually don't have a good relationship with the monitor. Moreover, Qin Shiqing, the class beauty, has many admirers, and Zhao Mingxuan is one of them.
He once expressed his feelings to Qin Shiqing, but unfortunately he was rejected by her. On the contrary, Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing are very close and get along very well. Although he knows that they are neighbors, he is still very unhappy.
Su Zelin glanced at him calmly: "Who are you? Do you know me well? Am I talking to you?" Three questions in a row, Zhao Mingxuan was choked directly.
Su Zelin is a mouth cannon. He is eloquent and eloquent. Even Tang Yan has to admit defeat. How can Zhao Mingxuan be his opponent?
The man with glasses was so angry that his face turned blue and his body trembled. He wanted to punch Su Zelin in the face.But his chest was heaving, and he finally held back his anger.
As the monitor, I can't be as rude and disrespectful as him, hum!
In fact, what's more important is that Zhao Mingxuan can't beat Su Zelin. This bastard's fighting ability and ferocity are well-known throughout the school.
When he was in the first year of high school, Su Zelin had a conflict with several senior sports students on the court. He challenged several opponents and knocked them all down. From then on, he walked sideways in No. 2 Middle School and no one dared to provoke him.
Zhao Mingxuan looked so gentle, and Su Zelin's punch would probably make him lie in bed for half a month. He only relied on himself as the monitor. In addition, his father was a city leader, so he dared to talk nonsense occasionally, but he definitely didn't have the courage to fight.
"Qin Shiqing, just one sentence, do you dare to bet? If you lose, you have to help me get food and water every day before the college entrance examination, and the same goes for me if I lose!" Su Zelin no longer paid attention to Zhao Mingxuan, but raised his eyebrows at Qin Shiqing, and the provocation was evident in his words.
He didn't plan to stay away from his childhood sweetheart now. After the college entrance examination, they would go their separate ways. Besides, it would be awkward to change his attitude towards her suddenly.
"Shiqing, don't bet with him. It's boring, and this guy will definitely default on his debt!" Tang Yan said without thinking.
Qin Shiqing hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Okay, but the bet needs to be changed. If you lose, you have to study hard before the college entrance examination. You are not allowed to be absent-minded in class, let alone sleep!"
"Shiqing, even if you win, it won't do you any good!" Tang Yan felt a little dizzy. This bet was not worth it for her deskmate.
"Very good, it's decided happily!" Su Zelin smiled slyly, like a little fox.
Tang Yan was about to say something, but Qin Shiqing patted her hand: "Xiaoyanzi, it's okay."
The words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. Tang Yan understood her deskmate's thoughts.
Shiqing made the bet for Su Zelin's sake, which is good for her. She had put a lot of thought into it. Plus there was really no need to worry. Even if Su Zelin boasted to the sky, his English scores in the three mock tests could not suppress this sister!
Thinking of this, she felt relieved: "Lu Haoran, you heard it too, right? Be a witness with me, so that this kid won't refuse to admit his defeat!"
"Ah, this, I..." Lu Haoran didn't expect that he would be involved.
"It's okay to hear it. I believe you are an honest man. You must not be partial. Let's supervise this kid together!" Poor Lu Haoran hadn't expressed any opinions before Tang Yan put on the big hat of 'honest man' on his head.
The honest man swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, feeling very depressed.
Hey, I didn't say anything…
Facing the strong Tang Yan, he didn't dare to protest, and could only complain secretly.
Having said that, although Zelin and Qin Shiqing made this bet, it was a bit self-humiliating, but it was not a bad thing to make him concentrate in class in the future. Lu Haoran finally nodded. Then, he lowered his voice again: "Zelin, do you really have a foreign language blockbuster that is very useful for learning spoken English? When will you take me to see it?"
Su Zelin was amused by him.
Hey, you are really a little cutie!
"Okay, come to my house sometime, remember to bring Bao Vida."
"It's just a movie, why do you need to bring tissues, is it because the movie is very touching?"
*****
The morning class ended, and many people stayed in the classroom. The college entrance examination is approaching, and hard-working students will work overtime and make the most of lunch time.
Su Zelin did not leave immediately for the first time. If it were before, he would definitely be the first person to rush to the canteen to get food. But he stayed in the classroom not to study hard. With more than a month left, his grades could not have a qualitative leap, and Su Zelin didn't care about this.
The purpose of getting into a good university is not to make money. After rebirth, he has countless ways to make money. Even if he didn't have the foresight of rebirth in the last life, Su Zelin could achieve financial freedom, so money is not a problem at all.
Besides, he has already experienced the extravagant life, the wine pool, the meat forest, the luxury cars and yachts, and the nights of revelry, and he is tired of it.
In comparison, he cherishes and enjoys the current campus life more. More importantly, Qin Shiqing is here, right next to him, not out of reach.
After class, the childhood sweetheart and Xiaoyanzi chat and laughed casually.
I don't know what interesting things they talked about, the girl smiled with her mouth covered, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a crescent, and the full smile seemed to overflow from her beautiful pupils.
At this time, her smile was so bright and sweet, pure like a white rose growing in the wilderness, showing her freedom and happiness heartlessly in the sun. Such a scene would only happen in dreams before rebirth.
Regret is a bookmark of youth, always stuck in the most painful page of memory!
Su Zelin's nose was slightly sour.
Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, his eyes were gentle and firm.
Qin Shiqing must never be hurt again in this life!
Su Zelin stayed in the classroom until the cafeteria was about to close, then he picked up the lunch box and left with Lu Haoran.
Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.
This is too rare.
"Did the sun rise from the west?" Tang Yan murmured to herself.
Qin Shiqing was also very puzzled. She had known Su Zelin since she was a child. This was not the character of her childhood sweethearts. But she didn't think much about it. She just thought that Hunzi was just on a whim today and did it occasionally.
*****
Walking out of the teaching building, Su Zelin slowly paced on the school road.
The breeze mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees blew in my face, and bursts of laughter came to my ears.
Everything around was filled with vigorous vitality. This is the smell of youth!
My lost youth is back!
Su Zelin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
This feeling is so good!
"Zelin, are you stimulated by something?" Lu Haoran was very worried. His best friend was a little abnormal today.
First, he made a bet with Qin Shiqing to compare the English scores of the third model, and then stayed in the classroom for so long at noon before going to get food. This is not the bad deskmate he knew.
"What can stimulate someone like me?" Su Zelin put his hand on his shoulder and asked back.
"That's right!" Lu Haoran nodded and agreed deeply.
With his best friend's thick-skin and cynical temperament, he really couldn't think of anything that could make Su Zelin suddenly change his mentality.
Soon they arrived at the cafeteria. There were not many people getting food now, and it wasn't long before they lined up.
"Big sister, give me more. I'm starving today!" Su Zelin smiled.
"You're the only one who's bothering!" The cafeteria auntie kept nagging, but the word "big sister" made her so happy that her hands didn't shake, and she even added half a spoonful of meat.
Su Zelin's mouth was too slick. Others ordered dishes in a proper manner, but he always called her "big sister". After three years, all the cafeteria aunties remembered this face.
The cafeteria auntie didn't care if you were a good student or not, and they didn't even know. They thought that this boy was sweet and sensible, and Su Zelin looked very pleasing, so his food portion was always more than others in the same set meal. Sometimes the auntie would even "accidentally" add an egg or a sausage or something, anyway, it wasn't her own money.
Looking at Su Zelin's lunch box filled with two meat and two vegetables, Lu Haoran fell into deep thought.
This is also possible?
Although he and Su Zelin have a good relationship, their lunch time is parallel and almost never intersects. This is the first time he has seen this kind of trick. So he decided to give it a try.
"Big, big, big...s-"
Looking at the wrinkled face in the window, the honest Lu Haoran felt a little embarrassed to speak, and stuttered for a while before spitting out the two words "Big sister!"
The cafeteria aunt retracted her smile, took the lunch box with a stern face, and when she served the food, she not only didn't use half a spoonful, but her hands shook more than usual.
The main reason was that Lu Haoran's call of "Big sister" was not smooth and natural, and it sounded insincere, and the aunt's sharp eyes could not see it. Besides, Lu Haoran looked like a nerd, and he didn't look as likable as Su Zelin, so this flattery hit the wrong foot and backfired.
Looking at the pitiful food in his lunch box, Lu Haoran wanted to cry but had no tears.
He walked out of the team and came to Su Zelin, complaining: "Zelin, I also called her sister, but why did I get less food?"
"Haozi, you are so stupid!" Su Zelin was disappointed.
He asked: "When you called her sister, did you look into her eyes, did you smile, did you do it in one go?"
The three soul-searching questions confused Lu Haoran. He shook his head subconsciously and said blankly: "Does it matter?"
"Of course it matters!" Su Zelin explained patiently.
"Big sister has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Such an old-fashioned person can tell at a glance that you are not sincere and too hypocritical. You calling them 'big sister' is considered as irony by others. Can you still be happy and order more dishes for you?"
Lu Haoran wiped his sweat: "Oh my god, there is such a thing! I am enlightened!"
"Also, the few I just mentioned are just the most basic ones. You just called her once, and I called her for three years. As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. Do you understand?"
"In addition, you are missing the most important point, and the operation is doomed to fail!"
"Which point?"
"You are not as handsome as me!"
"..."
Lu Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect that calling big sister would have so much profound knowledge.
The little Haoran finally gave up the decision to try this trick next time. He couldn't copy Su Zelin's operation. Lu Haoran believed that he couldn't do the most basic first step.
In terms of IQ, most people can't compare with Su Zelin.
In terms of EQ and face, he was left far behind.
"Forget it, I'll give you some!" Su Zelin picked up the lunch box and spread the food for Lu Haoran. Anyway, his little meat was very abundant, and every meal was so rich.
"Ah, Zelin, no need!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I can't eat so much!"
