: Our school really is full of hidden talents!

Unfortunately, in the end, this senior student neither paid more money nor purchased his investment project.

This was a bit of a pity for Zhou Yu, since the senior didn't seem like someone who was short of money. If he could have tricked him... no, if he could have fooled him, that would have been the best outcome.

He sat on the edge of the plastic track and practiced the Lv4 Returning to Truth Breathing Technique. When the bell rang for the end of the fourth period, Zhou Yu silently walked to the cafeteria and stood there like a gatekeeper.

Students passing by looked at him strangely, wondering why he didn't go in to get food when he had already arrived at the cafeteria ahead of everyone else.

Don't you want to eat?

After standing at the entrance of the cafeteria for a while, Zhou Yu finally saw Gao Ying and Liang Yanbo walking towards the cafeteria.

"You two!" Zhou Yu greeted them, "You're a little late."

Gao Ying had a pained expression, but upon seeing Zhou Yu for the first time, her eyes welled up with tears. "Wow! Brother Yu!"

Zhou Yu decisively took a step back. "What's going on?"

"She got scolded by the teacher during class," Liang Yanbo rolled his eyes. "I told you before, that old woman in the spiritual energy class is really fierce. If you slack off, she'll be lucky if she doesn't kick you out, let alone scold you."

Zhou Yu hadn't attended any classes since the start of the semester, and he was somewhat dazed when he heard about Gao Ying being scolded by her teacher.

Can I really be considered a student?

"Wow!" Gao Ying hugged Zhou Yu tightly, wiping her snot and tears on his school uniform. "Brother Yu, that old woman was treating us differently! It was so infuriating!"

"You talk so rudely, can't you learn from me?" Zhou Yu disdainfully pried her head away. "How did she treat you? And how did she discriminate against you?"

Gao Ying sniffled and said, "I drank a sip of water while practicing the Returning to Truth Breathing Method, and she scolded me, saying I wasn't paying attention in class!"

Zhou Yu: "..."

Gao Ying pointed at Liang Yanbo beside her, "But this bastard eats shit during class, and that old woman didn't even care!"

Seeing Zhou Yu's expression change drastically, Liang Yanbo quickly said, "I didn't, she's lying! She's drunk."

After saying that, Liang Yanbo quickly added, "I've already cultivated the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique to the second level, which makes me a top student in the class. Of course, she wouldn't bother with me. You can talk to her if you're as good as me."

Gao Ying: "Wow! Brother Yu, I don't want to live anymore!"

Zhou Yu pried open her head.

No matter how much Liang Yanbo and Gao Ying shared anecdotes from their classes with him, he couldn't connect with them.

There was no other way; he wasn't even qualified to study before the school entrance exam.

Liang Yanbo was also aware of this matter and didn't want it to affect Zhou Yu's mood or ruin their friendship. So even during brief encounters like meals, he usually wouldn't bring it up.

But Gao Ying was different. She was a bit dim-witted and didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to share with Zhou Yu first.

If it were any other emotionally sensitive person going through a rebellious phase, they would probably have developed a strong sense of inferiority and parted ways with them long ago.

So it seems...

It seems Zhou Yu is also one of those guys who's a bit dim-witted.

These two are a perfect match.

"Alright, alright," Zhou Yu said, "wipe your snot and tears. Now that things have come to this, let's eat."

Gao Ying wiped her face with the corner of Zhou Yu's school uniform.

Entering the cafeteria, Liang Yanbo glanced at Zhou Yu beside him and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Zhou Yu replied, "It's nothing. I just wanted to see what you guys are eating. Don't worry about me."

Liang Yanbo: "..."

"Really, you don't need to worry about me. You guys can eat and drink well, I just need to eat the food that ordinary students eat, really."

"..."

"You guys are eating really well. Let me see what we're having back home today... Oh, it's stir-fried ginger and garlic. It's really good. You know, I love stir-fried ginger the most."

"..."

"Wow, you even have steamed buns at your stall? That's great! I haven't had steamed buns in years, since our stall only sells steamed bread..."

Listening to Zhou Yu's rambling, Liang Yanbo couldn't take it anymore. A vein throbbed on his forehead. "Fine, I'll just print you a copy, okay?"

Zhou Yu was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm. "Hey, Brother Liang, you're too kind. I didn't mean for you to treat me. Look at the mess you've made..."

"Are you going to eat or not?"

"eat."

"Then shut up!"

"OK."

……

After Liang Yanbo and Gao Ying brought over three meals, Zhou Yu had already found seats for them.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu asked Gao Ying, "Why haven't I seen my Uncle Liu today?"

"Liu Huangshu? You're asking about Liu Bei," Gao Ying thought for a moment and replied, "He's not in our class. Since he didn't come to lunch, he must have been kept after school."

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, "That's a pity. I was hoping to show him a little of what I'd learned."

"What did you gain?" Liang Yanbo stuffed a piece of spirit beast meat into his mouth and sneered, "What did you gain? Did you swindle money again today?"

"What do you mean by 'scam'? How can something involving a scholar be considered a scam?" Zhou Yu replied with a sneer. "To be honest, today I met a very perceptive senior. To witness my talent, he transferred ten thousand yuan to me on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yanbo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Besides Gao Ying, are there any other brainless people like this in our school?"

Zhou Yu was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so he simply took out his phone and showed him the transfer record. "Look, this is the person!"

Upon seeing the transfer record of 10,000 yuan, Gao Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Brother Yu is amazing, someone actually transferred money to you!"

"I told you all this long ago," Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Investing in me now is definitely a wise decision. Otherwise, later on, you won't be able to invest at all."

Gao Ying clapped along enthusiastically, while Liang Yanbo stared at the WeChat name on the transfer record, seemingly finding it somewhat familiar.

"Do I have this person's WeChat?"

Zhou Yu sighed deeply, "Not everyone with a business sense is your friend. Can you please stop trying to ride on our client's coattails? You're really funny~"

"No, I think I really do have this person as a friend," Liang Yanbo pulled out his phone, scrolled through his friend list, and then exclaimed with wide eyes, "Holy crap! Isn't this Sun Quan?"

Gao Ying: "..."

Zhou Yu: "...Our school really is full of hidden talents."

With Liu Bei in the past, Sun Quan in the future, and Cao Cao emerging from behind, Zhou Yu was not surprised at all.

"No, Sun Quan is his nickname," Liang Yanbo revealed the details of the senior's friend, "His real name is Sun Zhongmou."

Is there even a difference? I'm asking.

Liang Yanbo said excitedly, "The most important thing is... he is the top student in our No. 2 High School's senior year!"

"She's definitely a big star!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's expression immediately changed.
