Xie Zhongxing said not very subtly, “In that case, it might be faster achieving it in your dreams.”

Qin Zhongyue didn’t notice Xie Zhongxing’s speechlessness. When he heard Xie Zhongxing’s words, he even said proudly, “I have already dreamt of it in my sleep. It was pretty awesome.”Xie Zhongxing, “…….”He wanted to beat his past self up for saying that Qin Zhongyue was clever.He was a little tired, but he soon energised himself, “If that’s the case, let me help you.”Qin Zhongyue’s eyes lit up. Wouldn’t this mean that he could ask Xie Zhongxing questions like Zhong Yiming?He was very willing inside but his lips said, “How could I trouble you? Wouldn’t it affect your studies? If you don’t get in because of me, I can only use my death to atone for my sins.”Xie Zhongxing, “It won’t.”He said seriously, “Since you want to get into one of those universities, lets attend it together.”Qin Zhongyue took in his serious expression and somehow had a bad feeling.Immediately afterwards, he heard Xie Zhongxing say, “I’ll apply for permission to live outside of school and stay over at your place.”“I will make a complete study plan for you. As long as you follow it closely, even if it’s only a month, you will be able to increase your scores by two hundred points.”“Of course, I will be supervising you.”Qin Zhongyue, “…….”He swallowed nervously and asked, “Why don’t we forget about it? I’m worried that it would affect your grades. I’ve also hired a home tutor. He has a lot of experience and has taught many students who got into those universities. I’m sure I will be able to get in if I am taught by him.”Xie Zhongxing refused, “No. The home tutor teaches you for money so they wouldn’t be strict. I won’t do that. I will make sure you follow the study plan no matter what.”Qin Zhongyue, “…….”He had already fully experienced what it was like to be disciplined by Xie Zhongxing and he had even experienced it for five entire years. He knew every well how ruthless Xie Zhongxing can be.Wasn’t the purpose of his rebirth to escape from Xie Zhongxing’s tyranny? Why did he go back to the start again?

Qin Zhongyue’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. The originally bright and fearless look on his face instantly turned timid, “Um…..”Before he could finish speaking, Xie Zhongxing stared at him, “You don’t trust me? You think I won’t be able to teach you?”The excuse Qin Zhongyue was about to say got stuck in his throat. Meeting Xie Zhongxing’s beautiful eyes, his tone instantly weakened, “…..I trust you, of course I trust you. With you so clever, you’ll most certainly be able to teach me.”Xie Zhongxing nodded with satisfaction, “If it is convenient for you, I will apply for permission to live outside of school for the next two months.”Qin Zhongyue’s eyes were dazed. He agreed lifelessly, “…..O-of course it’s convenient. How could it not be convenient….”Xie Zhongxing, “By the way, give me your home tutor’s phone number. I will contact him. Since you have already hired him, we might as well work together.”Qin Zhongyue, “……”Congratulations to him. He had once again found himself a mother.Qin Zhongyue was depressed all day. When his classmates came to invite him to play basketball, he initially wanted to decline but when he realised that this would most likely be his last chance to indulge himself, he changed his mind and agreed.On his way out of the classroom, Qiu Yi ran over and coyly called out ‘brother’.Qin Zhongyue stared at him, “…..Who are you again?”Qiu Yi was shocked and hurt, “Brother, you don’t recognise me anymore? I thought that after we fought side by side, we could be considered comrades!”Of course, Qin Zhongyue remembered him. He was only teasing him earlier, “Qiu Yi, right? I remember you.”Qiu Yi furiously nodded his head, “That’s me, that’s me! Brother, you have such a good memory!”Qin Zhongyue asked him while holding the basketball, “You want to play basketball?”Qiu Yi hesitated for a moment but agreed, “Sure!”Deng Qi warned, “As a sports student, you should pour some water for us.” (KKnotes: Meaning to go easy on them.)Qiu Yi graciously exclaimed, “That’s for sure. Do you see that sea there? All that water was poured by me!”Deng Qi burst out laughing, “I see it. That sea is all in your head.”Several other boys also laughed.

They all cheerily went to the basketball court. After playing for a while, the gloomy mood in Qin Zhongyue’s heart had mostly dispersed.When he left the court in the middle of the game, another girl wanted to give him a bottle of water but before it could reach his hands, a guy pushed that girl aside and said loudly, “Buy my water! I don’t have change!”Qin Zhongyue, “……”He raised his eyes and saw that there were many people wanting to give him water.Qin Zhongyue said, “I didn’t bring any money today.”The girl who tried to give him a bottle of water at the beginning still stuffed the bottle into his hands and said with a red face, “I don’t need money. It’s a gift.”Qin Zhongyue returned the girl that bottle of water and said brightly, “Sorry, I don’t drink water that doesn’t cost money.”The girl, “…….”The girl gathered up her courage and asked, “Then can I get your contact information?”Qin Zhongyue refused without a thought, “Sorry, I don’t add strangers.”Qiu Yi ran over at this moment. He wiped away his sweat and asked, “Brother, do you want to go to the cafeteria?”Qin Zhongyue nodded. Without taking heed of the girls embarrassed and upset expression, he went with Qiu Yi to the cafeteria.Qiu Yi diligently arrived one step ahead of Qin Zhongyue and bought a bottle of water and an ice block before getting Qin Zhongyue to sit down.After Qin Zhongyue sat down, Qiu Yi gave him the bottle of water and said bashfully, “Brother, there is something that I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say.”Qin Zhongyue directly twisted open the bottle of water and drank a large mouthful, “Go on.”Qiu Yi asked, “Actually, I wanted to ask if your family needs a chauffeur?”Qin Zhongyue, “Huh?”Qiu Yi’s face was red. He continued quietly, “My dad lost his job some time ago and hasn’t been able to find a new job. He has worked as a driver for twenty years. Regardless of whether it’s a hire car, a bus, a taxi or a truck, he has never got into an accident. He is however older now and has a serious case of a herniated disc so he can’t do it anymore. I was just wondering, if you happen to need someone with this skill set, my father would definitely be capable!”

Qin Zhongyue said, “We already have a chauffeur who has worked for us for the last three years, so we currently don’t need one.”Qiu Yi was embarrassed, “I see. That’s alright. I was just asking so don’t take it to heart.”Qin Zhongyue then said, “But my uncle’s end has a company. The boss of that company is my uncle’s brother-in-law, Qi Yu. I can ask if they need one.”He always did things efficiently. He immediately gave Qi Yu a call and after asking about the situation on the other end, he said to Qiu Yi, “The timing is just right, he fired a chauffeur recently. Since your father is an experienced driver with more than twenty years of experience, he will receive pretty good treatment, including all the insurances as well as benefits during public holidays. The monthly salary is ten thousand after tax and the working hours are only the two times of the day where he is required to take Qi Yu to and from work. Qi Yu however is very picky. Your father will need to have a trial first. He should try to drive as steadily as possible. Here, this is the phone number. Get your father to give them a call.”Qiu Yi was a little in disbelief, “Brother, you’re really helping me?”Qin Zhongyue, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you ask me to help you?”Qiu Yi said, “But I didn’t expect you to do it this straightforwardly…..”He was a little embarrassed. Asking a classmate for a job for his father was already…..he couldn’t say that it was shameful. Okay, it might actually be shameful.Qin Zhongyue said, “If your father doesn’t have the skills and you tried to ask me for a job, I might have to reconsider. After all, I wouldn’t want to bring trouble to Qi Yu. But if your father has the skills, then it’s not a problem.”He patted Qiu Yi understandingly, “Don’t worry, I’m not making you go through the back door. This job is something your father will need to work hard for. If Qi Yu isn’t satisfied, there is nothing I can do about it.”Qiu Yi was moved, “Brother, thank you so much. My father will definitely seize this opportunity. He is an experienced driver with more than twenty years of experience and he drives very smoothly, it was just that he got unlucky. Thank you so much!”Qin Zhongyue remembered something and asked, “When you bullied Xie Zhongxing before….”Qiu Yi immediately said with an ashamed look, “I would help Fu Donglin out in the past because I wanted to ask him to give my father a job and he said that he would think about it, but I just couldn’t stand his actions. My conscience was hurt when I was his accomplice. Fortunately, you came and got me to return to my senses! You let me know that I shouldn’t sell my conscience to money and that my character shouldn’t be trampled on. Justice may come late but it will always prevail. That’s why I immediately went with you!”“Brother, you are my spiritual mentor, the beacon of my life! I love you, brother!”Qin Zhongyue, “……”Was he really that great?His mood was a lot better after being praised like that. When he returned to the classroom, he still had a happy smile on his face.When Xie Zhongxing saw him, he said, “After talking to your tutor, I have formulated a very reasonable study plan. Take a look."

Qin Zhongyue’s expression instantly fell, “…….”Xie Zhongxing also saw this change in his expression. He lightly furrowed his brows, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to get into those universities?”Qin Zhongyue forced out a smile with great difficulty, “Of course I do.”He said with ‘sincerity’, “I really, really want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. No matter how hard it may be or how tired I may get, I’m not afraid!”He said this as he received the plan from Xie Zhongxing but the moment he saw the first line, his vision went dark, “Wake up at 4:30am?”Xie Zhongxing said, “The brain is the most active in the morning and your memory will also be better than in the afternoon so learning efficiency is the best during this time…..”“…….” Qin Zhongyue’s eyes were glazed over.He took a quick glance at the rest of the schedule and found that the first part of it was scheduled so precisely, even the time for him to pee was stipulated to take half a minute.Qin Zhongyue grimaced, “You’re right. I should just dream about getting into Tsinghua or Peking University.”Xie Zhongxing stopped in place. Without speaking, he just stared at Qin Zhongyue.Qin Zhongyue couldn’t stand being stared at like that. He asked timidly, “What’s wrong? Are you angry?”Xie Zhongxing only answered, “No, how could I be angry with you? I was just sad. I thought you were serious when you said you wanted to get into those universities and was happy because that would mean that we could be together even in university.”He lowered his eyes, his expression falling, “Looks like I jumped the gun. We’re destined to go our different ways.”Xie Zhongxing looked out the window, only giving Qin Zhongyue a view of his beautiful and pale side profile. He whispered softly, “I really wanted to go to the same university as you. It’s a pity.”Qin Zhongyue,”………”His fingers and lips trembled, and his voice was hollow, “Then can I wake up at five? Give me at least half an hour to rub one out?”Xie Zhongxing’s voice was gentle, “Is ten minutes okay? High school students shouldn’t need to take that long, no?”Qin Zhongyue said in a trance, “I may need to do it for two rounds.”Xie Zhongxing, “Too many times isn’t good for the body and you won’t have the energy to study. Five minutes.”Qin Zhongyue, “………”The author has something to say:Baby Yue: You’re asking for my thoughts? Mm….It’s great having a mother (dazed.jpg)Baby Yue roars like a wild boar, “I can do it for half an hour!”
