Chapter 27 - 27 0027 Two Good Brothers

27: Chapter 0027: Two Good Brothers 27: Chapter 0027: Two Good Brothers At first, Su Luoluo thought that Ye Qiu was just pretending to be that way, but it turned out he really was like that, not even glancing at her, his face and gaze always appearing very indifferent, as if he didn’t recognize her at all. Previously, although Su Luoluo didn’t pay attention to Ye Qiu, she knew he wasn’t like that. “Ye Qiu, during the time you were hospitalized, I really wanted to visit you at the hospital. But my parents were worried about my safety, so they didn’t allow me to see you,” Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Luoluo explained. The Su Family was a large clan in Jinling, and that night, it was for Su Luoluo that Ye Qiu was hit by the car. According to the situation at the time, Su Luoluo and her family knew that if Ye Qiu hadn’t pushed her out of the way, the person likely to have been hit would have been Su Luoluo herself. Therefore, from that point on, Su Luoluo’s parents felt that the unlicensed small car that night must have had the deliberate intention of hitting Su Luoluo. It was just because Ye Qiu happened to be behind her and fearlessly saved Su Luoluo that she was spared. Afterwards, Su Luoluo took two days off to stabilize her emotions, and the Su Family assigned four bodyguards to simultaneously protect Su Luoluo’s safety. Now in Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, those four bodyguards are still inside the campus, ready to appear the moment Su Luoluo encounters any danger. Seeing Ye Qiu still not even looking at her, maintaining that indifferent expression, Su Luoluo approached Ye Qiu again and said, “I’m serious, I really wanted to visit you. But my parents wouldn’t let me.” “You’re crossing the line,” Ye Qiu said coldly. “Pfft!” Su Luoluo laughed out loud, believing that Ye Qiu must have been acting that way because of past events. However, now she found Ye Qiu really funny. Even though his academic performance wasn’t good, his family’s financial situation wasn’t great, and she didn’t like the clothes he wore or his overall appearance, nor was he particularly handsome, for some reason, Su Luoluo found herself liking this current Ye Qiu a bit. It was probably because Ye Qiu had liked her for such a long time, and because he had fearlessly saved her life that night, that Su Luoluo’s attitude toward Ye Qiu had changed. In the past, if Ye Qiu had encountered Su Luoluo taking the initiative to talk to him like she was doing now, he would’ve been so happy he couldn’t sleep for three days. But this Ye Qiu didn’t pay her any attention at all. Suddenly, she saw two boys walk into the classroom through the back door. One was tall and thin, the other somewhat short and chubby. These two boys were friends Ye Qiu had made over the past three years and were the classmates he got along with the best. The tall and thin one, nicknamed “Bamboo Pole,” was named Li Shen, while the short and chubby boy was known as “Pig Brother,” his name being Zhu Zhiming. During the time Ye Qiu was in the car accident, these two nearly visited him twice a week at Jinling Hospital. However, by then, Ye Qiu was no longer his former self, and because of the incident with Su Luoluo from Heaven, Ye Qiu had been in a daze all that time, which resulted in him being absent-minded and not really paying attention whenever those two came to visit and chat with him, leaving Chen Fang to entertain them. They were planning to take time out this week to visit Ye Qiu again when, unexpectedly, Ye Qiu had already been discharged from the hospital. Having just returned to the classroom, upon seeing Ye Qiu back for class, Li Shen immediately came over and asked, “Ye Qiu, when did you come here?” The Ye Qiu from before, the current Ye Qiu felt, had indeed lived a very miserable and unsuccessful life, with his only real friends being Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming. However, now that he saw Li Shen, Ye Qiu had adjusted, and after coming out from his desk, he said, “I’ve been here for half an hour.” “Are you feeling all better now?” Li Shen sized up Ye Qiu from head to toe. During the last few visits, when he and Zhu Zhiming went to see Ye Qiu, they found him lying on the hospital bed. Hearing that Ye Qiu had undergone surgeries on his thigh and other parts of his body, Chen Fang was worried that Ye Qiu might suffer from sequelae. Li Shen knew that Ye Qiu’s car accident was serious and that it would probably take two to three months of recovery, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu was discharged just over a month later. “I’m fine now.” Ye Qiu said. Seeing that Ye Qiu was truly fine, Zhu Zhiming also said, “Ye Qiu, you should have continued to stay in the hospital or at home to rest. You know we three are the worst performers in class, usually just killing time here. I didn’t want to come either, but my dad forced me to.” In primary, middle, and high school, students with good academic performance might not become real friends, because everyone is a competitor, naturally preventing them from being friends. However, it’s different for those who are at the bottom of the class; it’s very likely they could be so close as to share a pair of pants without any issue, since they are all poor performers, not competitors. Thus, Li Shen, Zhu Zhiming, and Ye Qiu, the three worst performers in class, had been the best friends since the first year of high school. “Same for me, my parents forced me to come here, making sure I get my high school diploma. Anyway, there’s less than two months left until the college entrance exam, just stick it out for another two months, then we won’t have to come to the classroom anymore.” Li Shen said. Li Shen was the second-worst in class, Zhu Zhiming was the third. Both of them were just killing time, doing at most some multiple-choice questions during exams, and even that was by sheer luck. While Ye Qiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming were sitting and chatting at the back of the classroom, Su Luoluo occasionally glanced at Ye Qiu at the back. She had thought that Ye Qiu had changed, but to her surprise, Ye Qiu was still as familiar with Zhu Zhiming and Li Shen as before. But Su Luoluo was clear that the indifferent attitude and the look in Ye Qiu’s eyes when he looked at her earlier were not faked. Why was Ye Qiu like that? Su Luoluo couldn’t understand. However, the more Su Luoluo thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart. Generally, both primary and secondary schools have a nap time at noon. It is the same here at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, where some students who board would go back to the dormitory to rest, and those from outside would go home to rest, or they would just lay their heads down on their desks to sleep. Because it is the final year and the college entrance exam is approaching, most students choose to rest at their desks in the classroom. Now that it is nap time, when the other classmates begin to rest, naturally, nobody can continue talking. Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming felt like Ye Qiu had changed, yet also felt he had remained the same; they couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed. However, the two of them were having a good time chatting with Ye Qiu now, especially since, when they visited him at the hospital, Ye Qiu hardly talked to them. So now, the two of them came out of the classroom with Ye Qiu to find a shady spot on the rooftop of the teaching building to chat. Li Shen was tall and skinny, with somewhat yellow teeth, mainly from smoking. In the past, Li Shen would smoke every day, and he still does. However, Zhu Zhiming and Ye Qiu rarely smoked. Now, Li Shen took out a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes, handed out three cigarettes to Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhiming, then lit one for himself. “These are quality cigarettes, stolen from my dad,” “Won’t he beat you to death if he finds out?” Zhu Zhiming asked.
