Do Not Make Enemies

Countdown: 17:00:00.

In the morning, the chirping of birds came from outside the window. Qing Chen turned over and could also hear the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.

He got up. The bedroom door was still closed, while Jiang Xue had gotten up early to cook for them.

Jiang Xue smiled when she saw him and said, "It seems you often cook at home too, you have all kinds of seasonings."

"Well, eating out is too expensive," Qing Chen explained.

Jiang Xue said, "Your parents are really something, just leaving you all alone and not caring about you. Don't worry, Auntie will cook for you from now on, you don't need to cook for yourself, just focus on your studies. By the way, do you attend any tutoring classes? Or I can recommend one to you."

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. Was this how they were arranging tutoring classes for him too?

No wonder Li Tongyun started planning her "escape" in advance...

However, he really doesn't need to attend tutoring classes.

When Qing Chen was in his first year of high school last year, he had to go out to do part-time work at night, and during the day he was always too sleepy to do anything but rest on his desk.

Back then, when math teacher Tian Hailong was lecturing on stage, if Qing Chen suddenly looked up, Tian Hailong would subconsciously reflect on whether he had said something wrong.

Jiang Xue smiled and asked Qing Chen, "Did Xiao Yun say you agreed to go to Laojun Mountain with her?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded.

"You spoil her too much. She said she wanted to go out and play, but I didn't agree. Now that you've agreed, she's making a fuss about going," Jiang Xue said, though her tone wasn't accusatory.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "After all, we've just been through two dangerous situations. It's good for us to go out and relax. The kids haven't experienced anything like this before, so we don't want them to have any psychological trauma."

"Okay," Jiang Xue nodded, "Then we'll wait for you to get out of school this afternoon and take the bus there. It only takes a little over two hours. Then we'll stay there for one night, climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise the next day, and then head back. I checked the reviews on Meituan, and some of the guesthouses have pretty high ratings, and the food is especially delicious."

Qing Chen glanced at the other person; it was obvious that they had already prepared a strategy.

He asked, "Wouldn't two days and one night be too rushed?"

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "I want to go and come back as soon as possible so that Xiaoyun can return in time for her tutoring class. But if you want to stay a few more days, then let's give Xiaoyun a few days off."

Qing Chen arrived at the classroom early and found Nan Gengchen and Wang Yun sitting together whispering to each other, while Bai Wan'er had not yet arrived at school.

None of the four were seriously injured yesterday; they were knocked unconscious and then stuffed into sacks.

After being rescued, he received a token amount of saline solution at the hospital and then went home.

At this moment, Wang Yun, with red eyes, was telling Nan Gengchen everything that had happened last night, and Nan Gengchen was occasionally comforting her in the classroom.

This scene looks more like a date...

Qing Chen suddenly felt that he had missed out on a lot of things because of skipping classes.

It's like going to the movies and needing to use the restroom. Before going, the male and female leads are embracing and dreaming about the future. But when they come back, they find that the male lead has become the female lead's second uncle.

Magical.

You don't know if there's something wrong with the movie or with your pee.

At this moment, Nan Gengchen asked, "Qing Chen, have you made up your mind? Are you going to Laojun Mountain or not?"

Before Qing Chen could answer, Wang Yun whispered a reminder: "Xiao Nan, we have enough people. The bus that Hu Xiaoniu rented can only seat 47 people. Both classes have already signed up, and there are four or five people who want to go but can't."

Qing Chen smiled and said to Nan Gengchen, "You guys go ahead, I happen to have other plans for National Day."

"Oh," Nan Gengchen nodded, "Then I won't go either. What are your plans for National Day? Why don't you take me with you?"

Wang Yun's expression changed slightly, but then she saw Qing Chen pat Nan Gengchen on the shoulder. "Why wouldn't you go if someone's treating? I really have something to do, otherwise I would have agreed last night. By the way, when are you guys going?"

"Tomorrow," Wang Yun said with a sigh of relief when she saw that Nan Gengchen was no longer insisting, "We will meet at the school gate at 7 a. m. tomorrow. It's a pity that Qing Chen couldn't invite you to come this time, but I will definitely invite you in advance next time."

Qing Chen ignored the other party's polite words. When he heard that their schedules were not aligned, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there's only one place to watch the sunrise at Laojun Mountain. If everyone sets off tonight, they might just run into each other at the Golden Summit viewing platform tomorrow morning...

Following last night's violent incident, Liu Dezhu's status appears to have risen again.

During the break, he saw Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Bai Wan'er and others surrounding him, whispering to each other, their expressions unusually excited.

However, Liu Dezhu seemed a little absent-minded, glancing around from time to time as if looking for someone.

Hu Xiaoniu noticed the problem first and asked curiously, "Brother Liu, who are we looking for?"

That "Brother Liu" was delivered with a distinctly street-smart vibe.

However, Hu Xiaoniu thought for a long time but still didn't know what to call the other person, mainly because the name was too unique.

Calling him by his full name, Liu Dezhu, sounds too formal.

Calling him Dezhu makes the other person seem a bit dim-witted.

Calling out to Zhu Zi sounds like everyone is going to the field to harvest corn together.

"Huh?" Liu Dezhu snapped out of his daze. "Don't overthink it. I didn't contact anyone."

Only Liu Dezhu himself knew that the mysterious big shot was probably watching him from somewhere right now.

The feeling of being on edge at all times is unpleasant, but he has already tasted the sweetness of it. Cooperating with the big boss not only satisfies his vanity but also brings him real gold bars, which will improve his life when he returns to prison.

My future good life depends on getting on the coattails of this big shot.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu seemed to remember something and earnestly instructed Hu Xiaoniu, "There's one thing you must pay attention to: in this school, whatever you do, don't make enemies with anyone!"

Hu Xiaoniu was a little confused. "Why did Brother Liu suddenly bring this up?"

"It's nothing," Liu Dezhu sighed inwardly, "I'm just worried that you might have offended the wrong people and ruined the business."

At this moment, He Jinqiu, wearing a gray suit, was walking in the courtyard of No. 4 Xingshu Road.

He suddenly stopped on the sidewalk and looked up at the French Wu Tong above.

In autumn, the leaves of the entire sycamore tree turn yellow, and when the wind blows, the leaves will swirl and fall.

He Jinqiu suddenly became lost in thought, standing there for more than an hour, as if admiring the scenery was the most important thing for him, and nothing else mattered.

He didn't know how much time had passed when someone suddenly asked from behind, "Why aren't you in the Jingcheng? Why are you wasting time in this small place?"

He Jinqiu snapped out of his daze and looked at Zheng Yuandong was dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit behind him, and smiled, "Isn't Boss Zheng here too? That means we're on the same page."
