Chapter 20
: Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?
Zhou Yu brought over three meals, handing two of them to Gao Ying and Liang Yanbo, and returning their meal cards to them.
Liang Yanbo stared at Zhou Yu suspiciously and asked, "Whose card did you use to swipe this?"
"Of course I paid for it myself," Zhou Yu said, showing his phone's payment records. "Would I cheat you? You still have too much prejudice against me."
"Really?" Liang Yanbo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the payment record on Zhou Yu's phone. It seemed this guy still had some conscience. "Then I'm relieved."
"I've almost finished eating."
Liu Bei wiped his mouth with a napkin, picked up his plate, and said to Zhou Yu, "Although I will only give you an answer tomorrow morning, you should still prepare in advance."
"Remember to wear your school uniform and keep your student ID with you at all times; it will be very useful later."
Although he didn't know why, since Liu Bei had said so, Zhou Yu naturally nodded in agreement.
Trust Liu Bei; trust needs no reason.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Gao Ying felt a surge of curiosity. "What are you two talking about?"
In response, Zhou Yu simply gave a cryptic smile.
"This is an adult topic; you're a minor, so don't ask."
Liang Yanbo laughed. "Adult topics...that's interesting. Gao Wan laughed so hard. What adult topics do you have to share?"
Zhou Yu glanced at him and said, "You can deduct anything from me except my salary."
Liang Yanbo: "Holy crap... Although this joke is awful, it's definitely a very adult topic..."
Gao Ying blinked. "Really, anywhere is fine?"
"Anyone is fine, but not you," Zhou Yu quickly added, afraid that Gao Ying might actually mean it.
……
After lunch, Zhou Yu stayed quietly in the classroom for the entire afternoon, without going around promoting his investment projects.
After all, Liu Bei just said that if he really went, the final reward would be equal to the total amount and quality of his spiritual energy.
Therefore, taking advantage of the current opportunity, Zhou Yu felt that he should try to increase the total amount and quality of spiritual energy in his body as much as possible, and raise the price as much as he could.
Even though it's like cramming at the last minute, it's better than not cramming at all.
Zhou Yu began practicing the Lv4 Returning to Truth Breathing Technique in the classroom, his expression extremely serious.
Outside the classroom, the homeroom teacher stood there for a moment, then decided not to go in and disturb him.
"This child is breathing so earnestly; it's clear he really wants to awaken his spiritual energy."
"Perhaps, going around promoting himself to others is also a way for him to release stress..."
The homeroom teacher shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "Fine, I'll let him off this time since he didn't harass the students who have already awakened their spiritual energy too much."
Thinking this, the homeroom teacher stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and gazed at the cloudless blue sky.
"A homeroom teacher as gentle and understanding as me... is a rare find these days..."
……
It was the next day.
When Zhou Yu woke up, the first thing he did was to get his medicine.
buzz-
Zhou Yu's Mysterious Shop, -1000 yuan.
"Hiss—ha..."
Zhou Yu shuddered uncontrollably, as if he had just finished urinating. Then, he wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with a tissue from the bedside table, raised his hand, and threw the crumpled tissue into the trash can with a very unorthodox shooting motion.
Zhou Yu glanced at the tissues on the bedside table and muttered, "I've been going through a lot of tissues lately... I hope my mom and sister don't misunderstand me..."
After all, they are high school students, and the pressure in their second year of high school is so great, it's normal for them to have those kinds of thoughts.
But it's different for Zhou Yu.
His descendants now shoulder an even more important mission.
After getting up and washing up, Zhou Yu went to the dining table in the living room. The atmosphere at the table was still heavy. Zhou's mother didn't call today, but she didn't make much eye contact with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Zaozao also ate one small steamed bun at a time, deliberately avoiding Zhou Yu's gaze.
"Mom," Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up, "I want to eat something to nourish my kidneys and replenish my vital energy."
Zhou's mother: "?"
Zhou Zaozao: "?"
"You..." Zhou's mother hesitated for a second, "Why would you have such a thought?"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "Please don't ask anymore. In short, this is really important to me. I need to take good care of myself, otherwise it would be bad if I couldn't meet other people's needs later!"
"Cough cough cough cough..." Zhou Zaozao almost choked to death on the xiaolongbao. She pounded her chest with her hand and swallowed the xiaolongbao with difficulty.
Do I also have to meet other people's demands?
Do I also have to meet other people's demands?
Brother, I thought you had fallen and become a fallen angel, but I never expected that you would actually find your own wings.
"elder brother……"
Hearing the trembling voice, Zhou Yu turned to look at Zhou Zaozao and said, "Let go."
Covering her mouth, Zhou Zaozao, with tears in her eyes, took something out of her pocket and handed it to Zhou Yu.
"I heard from my classmate that having this will make it a little better and less painful, so be careful."
Zhou Yu glanced at the things Zhou Zaozao had given him.
It's a bottle of glycerin suppository.
Zhou Yu: "You're going to break off all ties with your classmates right now, you hear me? You've all been corrupted by them! Can't you learn from your brother? You used to follow me around all the time, but you didn't learn any good character from me!"
Zhou Zaozao: "You should worry about what's behind you first."
Zhou Wanwan licked the grease from her lips, widened her eyes, and asked, "Don't you need to use your ass to poop anymore, Cut Cut?"
Zhou Yu: "Who the hell taught you to say that kind of thing?"
Zhou's mother: "What's wrong with me?"
Zhou Yu: "...Yeah, you teach really well."
……
After having breakfast, Zhou Yu arrived at school.
As soon as Zhou Yu reached the classroom door, he saw Liu Bei standing there, practicing the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique.
Seemingly noticing Zhou Yu, Liu Bei stopped circulating his cultivation technique, opened his eyes, and glanced at Zhou Yu. "You've come."
"So diligent?" Zhou Yu asked, somewhat surprised. "You even practice while being punished by standing outside the classroom?"
Liu Bei: "...I wasn't punished by standing; I was just doing some cultivation on the way while waiting for you."
"Most people don't have my talent for standing and cultivating; they need to find a relatively quiet environment... But I digress."
Clearing his throat, Liu Bei handed a business card to Zhou Yu. "I've already arranged everything for you. If you have time later, just go to the place on this business card and tell them I introduced you. They'll understand."
Zhou Yu accepted the business card, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, godfather. I have no way to repay such kindness but to offer myself to you."
"Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?"
