Su Chen Is Such a Coward

After Su Zhenxing and the other three left, Su Chen fiddled with the treasures he had picked out of the trash, sighing inwardly.

Sigh, such a good way to make money, cut short by Su Zhenxing just like that.

But there was nothing he could do.

Su Zhenxing had simply offered too much!

Still, Su Chen had never expected that as soon as he started his stream today, so many people would flood into it—and that selling trash would earn him over seven thousand yuan.

Although he had promised Su Zhenxing that he would no longer collect trash.

His livestream already had a foundation of fans, and he could not let that go to waste.

This was an era where traffic was king.

He had to keep his livestream going.

But for the moment, Su Chen could not think of what he should stream to retain his viewers.

After all, these fans had come to watch him collect trash.

Su Chen stopped dwelling on what to stream next and began mailing out the items to his fans.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, Su Chen successfully collected seven thousand yuan and mailed every fan the items they had requested.

Having been busy all day, Su Chen slept deeply that night.

It was not until ten o'clock the next morning that Su Chen woke up.

After freshening up, Su Chen went downstairs to eat.

But the moment he came down, he heard a boy with a raspy duck-like voice sneer.

"Hey, Su Mu, is this the beggar in your family who collects trash?!"

"Why isn't he out collecting trash first thing in the morning? Sleeping in instead?!"

Su Chen looked toward the voice.

A chubby teenage boy, fat and greasy-looking, was eyeing him sideways with a face full of contempt and disdain.

Those words had come from him.

The boy's name was Liu Zhe.

Several other boys sat beside him—Wang Yi, Zhang Fan, and Tang Ye. Some looked at Su Chen with contempt, while others did not even spare him a glance, chatting cheerfully with Su Mu instead.

Su Chen frowned.

He remembered now.

These people were also sons of businessmen from Hai City.

The difference was that most of their families' businesses relied on orders from Su Corporation.

So they willingly acted as Su Mu's lackeys, constantly carrying out verbal bullying against Su Chen at Su Mu's instigation.

After Su Chen returned to the Su Family, Su Zhenxing had arranged for him to attend the same school as Su Mu—Sunshine Noble School—and even put them in the same class, claiming it was so the brothers could look after each other.

But what Su Zhenxing did not know was—

Su Mu really did look after Su Chen.

Not only had he mobilized the entire class to ignore Su Chen, but he often incited his lackeys to insult him verbally and demean him with their attitudes.

Just like now.

Though they never laid a hand on him, the cold violence from his classmates and the verbal abuse from these lackeys had left Su Chen traumatized by both school and studying.

Even in his previous life, after Su Qiqi successfully framed Su Chen for stealing, it was these lackeys who spread the news far and wide at school, making Su Chen infamous as a thief.

From then on, Su Chen became the thief everyone at school shouted at, avoided, and despised.

From then on, Su Chen's life had become complete darkness.

Remembering the misery of his previous life, even the joy of earning money yesterday could not soothe the resentment in Su Chen's heart.

It seemed Su Mu had suffered losses at Su Chen's hands these past two days and was unhappy about it, so he had resorted to the same old trick—deliberately calling these lackeys to the Su Family to verbally bully him.

Perfect. It saved Su Chen the trouble of seeking out these pieces of trash himself.

After all, it was currently the Spring Festival break, and school would not start for another five or six days.

If he had gone looking for them now, it would have taken quite some effort.

Su Mu truly deserved to be good friends with Su Qiqi.

Sometimes, Su Mu could be rather considerate too.

Still, Su Chen needed to fill his stomach before settling accounts with these pieces of trash.

How could he have the strength to deal with trash on an empty stomach?!

He would let these people be smug for now.

Ignoring the chubby boy's clamor, Su Chen headed for the kitchen.

The chubby boy assumed Su Chen was still the same coward from before, someone he could mock and insult at will without daring to talk back.

He could not help feeling rather pleased with himself.

"Some people have finally learned their place."

"Collecting trash is the mission of people like that."

"Beggar is what people like that are called."

Be as wild and arrogant as you want for now. If I don't make you cry for your mother, I lose.

Without even glancing sideways, Su Chen entered the kitchen, took out some breakfast, and began to eat.

Watching Su Chen silently enter the kitchen, Su Mu found it strange.

This did not seem like the Su Chen he had come to know over the past two days!

Could it be that Su Chen only showed his difficult side to the Su Family?! Was he still that silent coward when facing outsiders?!

At that moment, the chubby boy leaned close to Su Mu and said ingratiatingly.

"Su Mu, did you see how satisfying it was when I cursed Su Chen just now? Don't worry, Su Chen is nothing but a coward. Dealing with him will be easy."

The other boys chimed in as well.

"Exactly. Su Chen is just a coward. What could he possibly do? He's such a wimp that he doesn't even know how to complain when people curse him."

"That's right, Su Mu. Stop worrying. We'll help you vent your anger today."

"This is great. I thought I would have to wait until school started to enjoy humiliating Su Chen again. I never expected heaven to treat me so well and let me enjoy that feeling again so soon."

Su Mu looked at the people he had called over, and a plan instantly formed in his mind.

He beckoned them closer and whispered in their ears.

The other boys listened and laughed.

The atmosphere was full of cheer.

While eating in the kitchen, Su Chen considered his plan for later.

He had already decided to keep the livestream he had only just built up yesterday, but he had been troubled over what kind of content to stream!

Now, as he considered how he would deal with those pieces of trash, a new idea for his livestream content came to him.

After finishing breakfast, Su Chen found some Tomato Juice in the kitchen and poured a little into his pocket.

Then Su Chen started his livestream.

In an instant, a crowd of people waiting for Su Chen to continue collecting trash rushed into the stream.

The comments immediately began flying across the screen.

"Streamer, streamer, I've waited so painfully long for you!"

"Streamer, streamer, hurry up and start collecting trash! The money in my pocket can't wait any longer!"

"Why are you people so inconsiderate? Streamer, there's no rush. You need to rest well so you can collect trash better. Okay, one second has passed. Streamer, you've rested enough, right? If you have, hurry up and start collecting trash. Even a production team's donkey wouldn't dare rest as much as you do."

"666, +1."

"666, +1."

Su Chen said nothing. He merely smiled at the livestream.

"Ah, I'm done for. The streamer's smile is so pretty. This is a trash-collecting stream, not a looks stream, so don't get it mixed up."

"Streamer, stop smiling. No matter how good-looking your smile is, you can't use it to avoid your trash-collecting duties."

Su Chen placed his streaming phone in a concealed corner that directly faced the pieces of trash in the living room.

Then Su Chen left the kitchen and entered the living room.
