The taxi stopped outside the villa area on South Island.

In the back seat, Chu Yu was leaning on Lu Shi's shoulder. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady. There was no sign of him waking up.

Lu Shi looked down at Chu Yu's hair. "I know you're awake."

There was no movement.

Lu Shi spoke again, "Five minutes ago, I saw you open your eyes and close them quickly."

Even if he was exposed, Chu Yu was still very calm.

After a few seconds, he slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to have just woken up. He looked around in confusion. "We're here?"

His words sounded groggy, but Chu Yu was not very calm. How did he fall asleep on Lu Shi's shoulder?

And he slept all the way!

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sleeping on Lu Shi's shoulder. He was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes again!

Lu Shi watched him perform seriously.

He remembered how Chu Yu pretended to be unconscious in the corridor outside the classroom.

His acting had not improved and was still very bad.

Chu Yu's house was on Green Island, a famous mansion in S City. The entire villa area covered nearly 50,000 square meters, and there were only 18 villas built in it.

Other than the sound of insects, there was almost no sound of people. The deeper they went, the quieter it became.

The streetlights elongated their shadows.

Lu Shi turned his head and saw Chu Yu with his head down. He did not know what he was thinking.

He said, "You've been in a daze since we came back from Qingchuan River."

Chu Yu came back to his senses and did not react. "What?"

"What's wrong?"

Was it … because he felt that there was something on his mind that he insisted on sending him back?

"Actually," Chu Yu stared at the messy shadows of the trees on the ground. "It's nothing. It's really nothing. No, there's still something."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Lu Shi."

"Yes?"

"Let's talk about a serious topic!"

Chu Yu felt inexplicably ashamed to be so serious, but his mind had been revolving around this since they came back from Qingchuan River.

"Do, do you have any goals?"

Lu Shi put his hands in his pockets and straightened his back. He looked down at Chu Yu and answered, "Yes."

Chu Yu's eyes widened slightly as he asked curiously, "What's your goal?

Get first place in the national competition?

Go to a super awesome university and study abroad?

Or perhaps, earn a lot of money?

Start a business?

You're doing that kind of amazing and cutting-edge research? "

"Neither."

As expected, the thought process of a prodigy was something that a slacker would never be able to guess.

Chu Yu held his breath. "That is?"

Lu Shi: "I'm not telling you."

？？

"Alright."

Since Lu Shi didn't want to talk about it, Chu Yu didn't ask further.

He was in a daze for a while and looked dispirited. "Actually, when I heard Shi Tou and Zhu Zhifei talking today, I suddenly thought about what my goal is.

This question is quite broad and doesn't have much practical meaning, but I just … I just suddenly realized that I didn't seem to have any goals in the past seventeen years.

When he thought about it this way, he felt a little lost.

Haha, isn't it too pretentious? "

"Why don't you have any goals?"

"It's probably because I'm asking for a beating. But it's true that no matter what I get, it's very easy."

Chu Yu gave an example. "I have a primary school classmate whose goal is to buy figurines. He's very thrifty and saves up a week's worth of pocket money.

But I have a lot of pocket money and don't need to save at all. I can just swipe my card and buy a bunch of figurines.

There's also a sister surnamed Lin who takes good care of me. Her goal is to inherit her father's business and expand the business territory. So, she has been working very hard and will definitely achieve this goal in the future. "

Looking at the person walking beside him, Lu Shi seemed to see a familiar figure.

He seemed to have been this lost before.

Lu Shi asked seriously, "Have you ever thought about inheriting your family's business?"

As if he had been poked, Chu Yu hurriedly waved his hand. "My brother and sister are very capable. There's no need for me to inherit the family business. Moreover, I'm not interested."

"Are you not interested, or did someone tell you not to be interested?"

Chu Yu was startled. "What do you mean?"

Lu Shi said bluntly, "Many people should have told you that you're the youngest son and don't need to inherit the family business. You also don't need to be outstanding or hardworking."

"How do you know?"

Chu Yu deliberately relaxed his tone. "That's indeed the case. Many elders, including Aunt Lan who took care of me when I was growing up, all said that.

And my friend, He Zhihao, also said that. "

He still remembered that He Zhihao had once said to him enviously, "Chu Yu, you have such a good life. Your family's wealth has been accumulated for so many years, your mother's skills are superb, and your brother and sister have completely inherited your mother's intelligence and skills. Most importantly, they didn't ask you to learn this or that!

In any case, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and playing in this lifetime. Even if you spend money every day, you can spend it all your life! "

Chu Yu used to think so too.

Even if the sky fell, it would not be his turn to hold it up.

He knew very well that many people had instilled this idea in him in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of brothers fighting against each other.

He himself had no intention of fighting for the family business. He felt that it was enough for him to be able to do what he liked in this lifetime and live every day happily.

As for working hard, working hard, and setting a goal to achieve, he had never considered these things.

Therefore, after listening to Zhu Zhifei and Wei Guanglei's words, he suddenly realized that the other way of living was actually like this.

Looking back at his first 17 years, it seemed like he had lived in a daze and had left nothing behind.

Chu Yu loosened his tightly clenched fingers and stopped. He looked at Lu Shi and asked, "There's a problem with this kind of thinking, right?"

His eyes were filled with pure confusion. It was as if he had encountered a difficult problem that he couldn't solve and subconsciously looked for Lu Shi, wanting to get an answer or suggestion from Lu Shi.

He was unconsciously relying on Lu Shi.

Lu Shi looked back and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "It doesn't matter if I say it's right or wrong.

Only you can answer this question. "

"Okay."

Chu Yu's eyes darkened. He took two quick steps forward and stood in front of Lu Shi. He turned around and walked backward step by step. He asked Lu Shi, "You really can't reveal what your goal is?

Really? Really? "

"No."

Lu Shi's eyes were dark as if there was a vortex hidden in them.

With his back to the light, it was hard to tell the emotions in his eyes.

His voice was soft and hoarse. "It will scare you."

Chu Yu suddenly did not dare to speak.

He felt that Lu Shi's words made him feel inexplicably cold. His tone was clearly calm, but it seemed like he was suppressing a sense of irritation.

He remembered what Wei Guanglei had said.

Lu Shi had not only become a car racer for the money, but also for the thrill of it. The thrill of it could release the anger in his heart.

So, what exactly had Lu Shi experienced in the past?

The conversation ended. The two of them did not speak again until they reached Chu Yu's house.

Chu Yu stopped and pointed at a white building with a light on behind him. "We've reached my house. You should go back quickly. Otherwise, the sky will be bright soon. Thank you."

Seeing that Lu Shi was about to turn and leave, Chu Yu called out to him again. "Wait!"

Lu Shi looked at him. "Yes?"

Chu Yu did not know what to say for a moment. His lips moved and he said, "Be careful!"

On Sunday night, Chu Yu returned to school.

First, he watered the pot of crane gazing orchids by the window. When he heard his phone ring, Chu Yu reached out for it. He opened it and saw that it was from the class group chat.

[Commoner – Li Hua]: Blackjack. Those who want to play, raise your little hands!

[Study Committeeman – Fang Ziqi]: My dormitory. Come quickly, friends!

[Campus Belle – Chu Yu]: Raise your hands. I'll be there soon!

Study Committeeman Fang Ziqi lived in a double room downstairs of Chu Yu's dormitory.

When he entered, he realized that Fang Ziqi's roommate was actually Meng Ge.

Zhang Yueshan, Li Hua, and Guan Yiyang were all inside.

The two of them looked at each other. Guan Yiyang looked away and did not even look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu did not mind. He pushed the door open and entered. "Request to join the battle!"

"Approved, approved. Welcome to the battlefield!" Fang Ziqi smiled and waved his hand. "Campus Belle, peanuts, melon seeds, pistachios. What do you want to eat?"

"Melon seeds!"

Chu Yu was not familiar with the study committeeman. Their conversation only stopped at "Hurry up and hand in your homework!" and "Soon!

Wait for me to finish copying the last question! "

However, Zhang Yueshan had told him about the study committeeman's gossip.

He said that the study committeeman used practice questions as nourishment for his life. He was obsessed with his studies. In the last semester's final exam, he advanced five places in one go. After receiving the results, he was too excited and laughed too wildly. His face was paralyzed and his mouth and eyes were crooked.

He spent the entire summer in the hospital receiving transfusions and acupuncture. Finally, he regained his dignity before school started.

Chu Yu had a very deep impression of this!

Holding a bag of melon seeds that Fang Ziqi threw over, Chu Yu stood by the table and watched them play a round of Blackjack. He was so scared that he did not even have the mood to eat the melon seeds.

A good gambling game was turned into a math problem by these straight-A students!

Fang Ziqi was the banker, and Guan Yiyang was the challenger.

After two rounds, while Chu Yu was still in a daze, he saw Zhang Yueshan holding a notebook and calculating with a pen. "… There are 43 cards left. If Fang Ziqi doesn't want to lose, the next card has to be a 4. 4 out of 43. The probability is 9%!"

Li Hua threw away the draft paper and gave a more accurate number. "The 4 could be held by Guan Yiyang, so the probability is between 6.97% and 9%!"

Chu Yu grabbed a melon seed. "You can even count this?"

Guan Yiyang held the cards and looked at Chu Yu mockingly. He tilted his head and said, "You really can't count.

Blackjack is not only a chess game, but also a game that involves very complicated probability calculations. It also has a positive correlation with the player's mental arithmetic ability.

However, for Chu Yu, other than being able to calculate that three plus two equals five, you can't figure out anything else, right?

But then again, you don't need to figure it out. Since you have a lot of money, you can just pay up if you lose. "

Guan Yiyang said this in a normal voice.

The entire dorm room was silent, as if someone had pressed the mute button.

The sound of Chu Yu cracking melon seeds became clear.

He didn't lower his voice. He leaned closer to Zhang Yueshan and whispered loudly, "Who is this student?

Is he from our class?

Is there something wrong with his brain? "

Zhang Yueshan clearly remembered that during last week's self-study session, he had introduced Guan Yiyang to Chu Yu, as well as the love and hatred between them.

However, when Chu Yu asked, he replied, "He's Guan Yiyang. He's from our class. There's nothing wrong with him."

Chu Yu nodded and dragged out his words. "Oh, so there's nothing wrong with him. Then why does he talk like he's not thinking straight? Why does he scold everyone he sees?"

Guan Yiyang was so angry that his face turned ashen. The cards in his hand were all folded.

"Chu Yu, who the f * ck are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the person who scolds everyone he sees."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Guan Yiyang threw the cards in his hand on the table and sneered, "If your mom didn't buy the school, how could you get into Class A with your scores that I can get with my eyes closed?

Stop f * cking dreaming!

Aren't you just relying on your family's money?

If your surname wasn't Chu and you didn't have a mother who dotes on you, you're nothing! "

Chu Yu's face was calm.

Since he was young, he had heard this kind of sentence pattern too many times. He could recite it just by opening his mouth.

In any case, it was just a few sentences back and forth. There was nothing innovative about it.

Chu Yu had always told himself not to stoop to the level of a crazy idiot. Otherwise, he would look like an idiot too.

That was probably because he hated the rich. That was why he was blabbering blindly.

He threw away the melon seed shell and nodded. "Oh, I'm relying on my family's money. So what?"

Guan Yiyang's face darkened. He kicked the stool away and stood up. "Do you dare to make a bet?

Whoever loses will kneel down and call me daddy! "

"Call me daddy?"

Chu Yu calmly munched on another melon seed. "I refuse. If you're not handsome enough, I won't have an ugly son like you."

His words were obviously disdainful.

"You don't dare." Guan Yiyang took a deep breath and stared at Chu Yu. "You won't even let me finish my sentence. Are you afraid?

There are still two more weeks until the monthly exam. Do you know that?

There are ten classes in the entire grade. There are a total of 420 students.

Your standards are terrible. I'll be fair and give you a handicap of 100 places. If you can get into the top 320, I'll immediately kneel down and call you daddy.

Do you dare to make this bet? "

Chu Yu couldn't be bothered with him.

Guan Yiyang continued, "Or are you saying that you're very clear about your standards? You can't even get into the top 320.

By the way, did your mother also know that you're useless, so she spent money to buy a school for you? "

Chu Yu felt like he was being stabbed.

This time, it was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

— — Did your mother know that you're useless, so she bought you a school?

Zhang Yueshan was standing next to them. He noticed that after Guan Yiyang finished speaking, Chu Yu's expression changed slightly. He panicked and hurriedly pulled Chu Yu's clothes from behind.

He could tell that Guan Yiyang was really a thief!

He had probably chased after Deng Mengmeng for more than a year, but Deng Mengmeng ignored him. Now, he was asking for Chu Yu's QQ number. This was really exciting.

But could this bet be made?

Of course not!

Zhang Yueshan had sat in front of Chu Yu for a few days, so he had a rough idea of what kind of standard Chu Yu was.

Guan Yiyang was different. Guan Yiyang's family didn't have much money and he got in based on his grades.

Zhang Yueshan didn't like to interact with this person because Guan Yiyang's close friends were quite extreme in their thinking. They believed that the rich people in the class were all vermin and that those with lower grades were all idiots.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yueshan had just started being the class monitor. He thought that the biggest problem in the class would be the friction between the students from the headquarters and the students from the branch.

But later, he realized that he had misunderstood. The biggest conflict was actually the conflict between the rich and the poor.

Guan Yiyang was a top student from an average family background. From the beginning, he couldn't stand Chu Yu, who was the representative of the rich second-generation heirs, and he often complained about it in private.

Now, he directly put the conflict out in the open with a bang.

Li Hua couldn't stand it anymore. "Guan Yiyang, is there any point in making this bet?

It's not fair to use your own advantages as a bet!

Why don't you compete with Chu Yu? Let's compete. "He couldn't think of anything and turned to ask Chu Yu," Campus Belle, what do you want to compete with? "

Guan Yiyang sneered, "Sure, I don't care. Other than competing with who has more money, I'm willing to play with you.

I'm just afraid that some people can't afford to lose a bet. If they lose, they will run to their mother and cry. Then, they will expel me from Jia Ning Private School. "

"I won't bet with you. You're not qualified to compete with me."

Guan Yiyang's hands on the table suddenly tightened. His masseter muscles bulged and he wanted to say something.

Chu Yu's face was cold and the corners of his lips were tight.

He suddenly smiled and directly interrupted Guan Yiyang's unfinished words. He said in a relaxed tone, "As for the monthly exam, you can just sit there and wait for me to rank 220th in the grade. I'll give you a chance for glory and let you call me Dad."

Zhang Yueshan took a deep breath. So stubborn?

Guan Yiyang's face was extremely ugly, "Then I'll wait."

After Guan Yiyang closed the door and left, the dormitory was quiet for two seconds.

Fang Ziqi was still holding the cards in his hand and was stunned, "I still haven't reacted. Why, why, aren't we playing cards?"

Chu Yu scooped up the melon seeds expressionlessly.

Fang Ziqi stuttered when he was nervous, "I, I shouldn't have yelled about playing, playing blackjack today!"

Chu Yu sighed and comforted him, "It has nothing to do with you organizing the game. Guan Yiyang doesn't like me and was determined to provoke me and make trouble for me.

Even if today's game didn't happen, he would have found another way to find me. "

Meng Ge clicked his tongue and sighed, "Men can't be petty!"

Chu Yu lowered his head again and didn't let anyone see the expression in his eyes.

He knew very well in his heart.

He said that he wanted to get into the top 220 of the cohort, but it had nothing to do with Guan Yiyang.

Zhang Yueshan was a little worried, "Chu Yu —"

"It's okay."

Chu Yu cracked the melon seeds and smiled, "So, brothers, I've already made the announcement. How am I going to get into the top 220 of the cohort?"

Zhu Zhifei ran upstairs in a few steps, identified the room number, and started to knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

Lu Shi wasn't wearing her school uniform. She had put on a loose white T-shirt and her hair was still wet. She had probably just taken a shower.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhifei took two steps in and closed the door behind him. He shouted anxiously, "Lu Ge, Lu Ge, the school belle is in a fight with someone!"

Lu Shi narrowed his eyes and walked towards the desk, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhifei followed behind Lu Shi and explained the situation in a few sentences, "The whole cohort has heard about it. It won't be long before the whole school knows about it. Guan Yiyang made a bet with the school belle. Whoever lost would have to kneel down and call him father. The school belle rejected him and said that she didn't want such an ugly son. Hahaha!

If I were Guan Yiyang, I would vomit blood and die on the spot! "

Lu Shi sat down with a paper in front of him. His expression was calm as usual. He twirled the pencil nimbly in his fingers and said confidently, "Yes, he's not impulsive."

"Yes, but the school belle is playing big this time. I remember that Guan guy. He has slanted eyes and looks gloomy. He thinks about disgusting things all day long.

The school belle said that he will get into the top 220 of the cohort in the monthly exam.

I don't know why, but I'm full of confidence. The school belle looks smart. Maybe she will really get into the top 220 and make Guan Yiyang regret his decision! "

Zhu Zhifei adjusted his glasses and said, "In my opinion, this Guan Yiyang is crazy.

He chased after Deng Mengmeng, but Deng Mengmeng doesn't like him. It's normal for him to like the school belle!

The school belle is good-looking and has a good temper. Don't many girls like her? "

"Who is Deng Mengmeng?"

"She's the girl who asked the school belle for her QQ number in the cafeteria.

Guan Yiyang had his eyes on her since the start of the first year of high school. He didn't expect that the moon would shine in the ditch!

I guess this time, she was provoked and wanted to take revenge on Chu Yu. "

"Got it."

Zhu Zhifei paced back and forth on the spot. "Wait, Lu Ge, is this your reaction?"

Lu Shi looked up at him.

Zhu Zhifei kept quiet. "Alright, I'll leave first. I'll go and see how the school belle is doing."

Chu Yu's dormitory was very lively.

Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua each took out their precious teaching materials and stacked them on the table. The stack of materials for each subject was thicker than a brick.

Fang Ziqi reluctantly put a set of photocopies on the table and said, "These are the classic exam questions that I collected. You can't buy them outside. Li Hua has been coveting them for a long time, but I didn't take them out.

School belle, do your best and finish them!

If you really finish them, not to mention the top 220, you can even get into the top 20! "

Li Hua exposed him. "Why didn't you get into the top 20?"

Fang Ziqi looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "I haven't finished them yet, have I?"

Meng Ge also joined in and donated an exercise book. "Two years ago, a big shot recommended this to me when he was playing basketball. He said that this was the reason why he got such a high score!

Although I haven't figured it out yet, the big shot can't be lying to me, right? "

Li Hua threw a phone number to Chu Yu. "This is a special teacher who specializes in one-on-one tutoring. He's expensive and has a bad temper, but his standards are there. School belle, you can give it a try!"

Chu Yu looked at the teaching materials and exercise book in front of him and felt dizzy!

He said carefully, "I-I have to finish them all?"

Meng Ge slammed the table. "Yes!

Even if you're on your last breath, school belle, you have to finish them all!

Guan Yiyang is really not a good person. He's too vicious!

Don't worry, we'll fight him!

Let's see who's the one with an iron head! "

Chu Yu touched his head and thought to himself, 'My head is not iron at all. My hair is very soft.'

When Zhu Zhifei entered the door, he was greeted by everyone's scrutiny.

Zhang Yueshan spoke as the representative, "You didn't bring anything?"

Zhu Zhifei looked confused. "What did I bring?"

"You don't have to bring anything!" Chu Yu quickly said, "Since you're here, the intention is there!

You don't have to bring anything! "

Zhu Zhifei closed the door and said worriedly, "This semester's monthly exam will be held during the holidays. School belle, do you have a plan?"

Li Hua spoke on behalf of him. "Not yet."

Zhu Zhifei adjusted his glasses. "It's September 13th today. There's not much time left. We have to think about it carefully and come up with a plan!"

He thought for a moment. "Why don't … we try doing a set of exercises first?

We can see where the weaknesses are and then focus on improving? "

This suggestion was approved by everyone. Soon, a pen and a piece of paper were placed in front of Chu Yu.

Everyone looked at him. Zhang Yueshan looked even more encouraging. "School belle, you can do it!"

Chu Yu picked up the pen.

He wrote the paper very quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Putting down the pen, Chu Yu pushed the paper forward. "Okay, I'm done!"

Fang Ziqi took out the standard answers and began to mark them.

When he reached the end, his hands trembled.

Zhang Yueshan was a little excited. "Why are you so agitated? Is the school belle deliberately hiding her genius and showing her true ability at the crucial moment?"

Fang Ziqi finished marking and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After pondering for a long time, he looked at Chu Yu. "School belle, how did you do it? Not a single question on such a big paper was correct?"

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Yu said innocently, "It's probably because … I have a talent skill that allows me to perfectly avoid the correct questions?"

Li Hua took Chu Yu's paper and read it from the beginning to the end. He had to admit, "This talent skill is really amazing. The answers were all guesses. There were four choices for each question, and there was a 25% correct rate. But not a single one of them was correct."

Meng Ge sighed from the bottom of his heart. "It's really amazing. I admit that I can't avoid the correct questions 100% of the time!"

After the first learning promotion meeting for the school belle, everyone left the table full of teaching materials and papers and returned to their respective dorms. They agreed to continue the meeting tomorrow.

Chu Yu sent them off, closed the door, and lay on his bed. After thinking for a while, he got up and picked up a random paper.

Oh, it looked like a physics paper.

First question … No, skip. Next question.

'No, I'll skip it. Next one!'

Skip … Skip …

Within a few minutes, Chu Yu finished the paper.

He blinked and muttered, "I can't believe it. Not a single question in the entire paper could stop me!"
