Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2051: Chapter 2051: Reluctant to Return (18)

Chi Gui probably never wants to eat with Chuzheng again after this meal.

On the way back, Chi Gui didn’t say much, and when they reached the lobby, he made an excuse to leave.

In the following time, Chi Gui and Chuzheng didn’t have much contact.

Bei Xiaoxiao was so scared by Chuzheng that she stayed in the hotel until they returned, not going anywhere during the period.

This autumn outing didn’t cause any group fights, which was something the teachers were delighted about.

Meanwhile, the issue with the hotel they were staying at spread among the students.

A batch had already gone before, and at that time, they weren’t staying in any five-star hotel.

When this news spread, the students exploded.

How could the school discriminate like this!

Why do the later ones get to stay in a five-star hotel?

The school: "..."

The batch that had already gone was fine, but now this batch that hadn’t gone yet, if they weren’t given the five-star treatment, there’d definitely be trouble?

The school regretted it at this point as well.

Why organize an autumn outing at all!

Isn’t studying good? Aren’t exams appealing?

Just as the school was troubled by this, the initiator called, saying they could sponsor the school with some money.

This solved their urgent problem.

But once they calmed down, everyone found it strange: "That Hang Chuzheng... I remember she came alone when she registered, with no family."

"If that’s the case, how did she suddenly become so rich?"

The concept of theft didn’t even enter the teachers’ minds, given that the donation amount wasn’t something that could be stolen.

Some teachers felt something was amiss and suggested carefully checking it out.

Chuzheng’s homeroom teacher was more straightforward, directly calling Chuzheng out to ask.

Chuzheng calmly told the homeroom teacher that she had inherited a fortune, and since it was unexpected wealth, she thought it would be good to sponsor the school.

The King’s Account would handle the origin of the inheritance, so even if the school investigated, nothing would come up.

Since Chuzheng hadn’t done anything wrong, how could the school actually investigate?

The sponsorship matter eventually spread among the students.

But no one knew who it was; they just knew it was one of their school’s students.

Of course, they assumed it must be parents backing a student; for their child, it wasn’t hard to understand.

But who could it be...

Students privately made a list, listing all the rich ones they knew at school.

Of course, there was no substantial progress in the end.

This matter spread widely in the school, and only when the autumn outing ended and the monthly exams approached did everyone’s attention return.

The students at Dongyang Middle School buried themselves in practice questions preparing for the monthly exams.

Meanwhile, over at Donghai Middle School, they thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill; it’s just a monthly exam, is it necessary to be so tense?

Actually, saying tense isn’t right either.

They were just being diligent.

Once they finished preparing and practicing, they’d relax as well, very different from how Huahai Middle School students imagined them to be tirelessly studying.

Chuzheng wanted to improve her grades, and it wasn’t so easy, she had to read, practice questions, it was so hard for her.

"Student Hang..." The student in front suddenly turned around, handing her a note: "Someone gave this to you."

"What?"

The student in front was very innocent: "I-I don’t know. It was passed from the front, said it’s for you."

Why did he have to sit in front of this student?

This student didn’t have much presence before, sometimes not even feeling like there was someone behind him.

Recently, this one suddenly became noticeable.

Not only noticeable but also very prominent.

Chuzheng put down her pen and opened the note.

—Student Hang Chuzheng, after evening self-study, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come to the woods behind the playground?

No signature.

Chuzheng crumpled it into a ball and tossed it.

After evening self-study, Chuzheng went straight back to the dormitory, not giving that note any attention.

Jiang Jing and others didn’t dare to mess with her now—at least not on the surface, so the atmosphere in the dormitory was very ’harmonious’.

The second day, Chuzheng received another note.

—Student Hang Chuzheng, I have something very important to tell you, please you must come, I’m still waiting for you there.

Chuzheng still didn’t pay attention.

The third day, a note came again.

Endless, huh?

Chuzheng picked up a pen and drew a few strokes on the note, then poked the student in front: "Pass it back."

"Oh."

The student in front very obediently returned the note the same way it came.

Chuzheng propped her chin, watching the note make a round in the classroom, finally stopping in the hands of a boy sitting in the middle by the wall.

Screech—

The chair made an ear-piercing sound as it scraped across the floor.

Self-studying students turned their heads toward the source, including the student holding the note.

Chuzheng didn’t go over; instead, she left through the back door.

After Chuzheng left, the quiet classroom slowly began to buzz with conversation.

"What happened?"

"Don’t know..."

"I almost thought she was going to hit someone just now, so fierce..."

"When did she become so fierce?"

-

Chuzheng didn’t immediately cause trouble; after the evening self-study, she blocked that boy on the way.

"You have something to say to me?"

The boy was startled by the sudden appearance of Chuzheng, his gaze flustered: "I..."

He glanced around, seeing students coming and going.

Embarrassed, he pointed in a direction: "Can we... can we talk over there?"

Chuzheng coldly refused: "No time, say it here."

Boy: "..."

Chuzheng’s reaction was evidently beyond the boy’s expectations.

After a while, the boy mumbled: "What I want to say can’t be known by too many people, there are too many people here... can we talk over there?"

"If you don’t say it now, I’ll tell the teacher you’re harassing me, disturbing my studies."

Boy: "!!!"

How is he supposed to respond to that?

Chuzheng stared at the boy for a few seconds, speculating on his reaction, a few thoughts flitting across her mind: "Did someone put you up to ask me over?"

The boy shook his head vigorously: "N-no, I wanted to ask you myself."

"Are you sure?"

The boy nodded.

-

"Brother Chi, look over there."

You Zixi elbowed Chi Gui, signaling him to look.

Chi Gui glanced casually, then quickly looked away, it was just students after school...

Chi Gui furrowed his brow, looking back over in that direction again.

Chuzheng stood over there, a boy in front of her, head down saying something, seemingly nervous and awkward.

In contrast, Chuzheng appeared assertive and composed...

This scene looks so much like a confession, doesn’t it?

"Brother Chi, do you think that boy is confessing to Chuzheng?" You Zixi voiced Chi Gui’s thoughts.

"It’s too dark, can’t see what he looks like."

You Zixi, filled with curiosity, sneakily dragged Chi Gui towards them.

Chi Gui usually wouldn’t partake, but this time he didn’t shake You Zixi off, instead following him over.

"Hey? They left!!"

Before You Zixi and Chi Gui got close, the two of them left one after the other.

The direction they headed wasn’t the cafeteria or the dormitory...

But towards the playground.

"Brother Chi... do you think Chuzheng accepted? Weren’t you two, you know...?"
