Section 8: Spare no expense in protecting you

  The eighth section spares no effort just to protect you

  After Luo Er changed into her own clothes and came out, she looked at their three smiling faces and asked, "What's going on? Why are you laughing like this?"

  "Nothing, just thinking about what happened at school this morning," said Li Chao.

  "School? You guys went to school this morning?" Luo Er asked.

  "Yes, Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan thoroughly defeated Old Li! It's so cool."

  "Old Li? The high school principal?" Luo Er asked.

  "Yes, they both went to report!" Li Chao said excitedly.

  "Oh? How was it? Did you get in?"

  "20 minutes for 8 questions, comprehensive questions! Extremely difficult ones, even Shen Kai's brother got it wrong, but they both answered correctly! Old Li just let them wait until the new semester to attend classes..."

  "Huh? Which class?" Luo Er couldn't quite believe his ears. It was really rare for two rich kids like them to be good at studying too. 20 minutes for 8 questions, it's a myth.

  "In the same class as you!" Xuan Sheng replied, a hint of excitement at the corner of his mouth.

  "Class 7 of Liberal Arts?"

  "Yes."

  "Why not take the science class 7? There are very few boys in our class, and Xingzhong also has a tongue twister. I don't remember what it says, but I only know that there are a few sentences saying that Xingzhong's science department has no beauties, and the liberal arts department has no men!"

  "Hehe, Zhi Quan and I were just trying to change this situation."

  "Oh, hehe~" Luo Er couldn't help but laugh at the thought, secretly cursing in her heart: "Do you have to be so entangled! But if you two were in our class, maybe it would be better to let you leave my world earlier, haha!"

  "Hey, Lier, isn't it time to cook dinner? I'm starving!" Chen Zhiquan pounded on Lier's door while shouting.

  "What's wrong? It's only a few points and you want to eat already? Chen Zhiquan, were you a starving ghost in your past life...” Lao'er lay on the bed, sighed, opened his eyes wide, and shouted loudly at the lamp above his head.

  "You can think of me as a ghost who's been reborn from starvation if you want, but now you have to give me some food, I'm really starving!"

  "Ahhh~~~~ I've collapsed ahhhh~~~~! Oh heaven, how did I get to know someone like you?!" Luo Er covered her ears and shouted loudly.

  "Please, I'm really starving! Don't sleep anymore, get up and cook!" Chen Zhiquan pleaded bitterly at the door of Luo Er's room.

  "Oh my goodness, I've had enough! Alright, I'm up! I'll cook for you!" Lao'er got out of bed with a gloomy expression, seemingly still half asleep. Without even sitting on the stool, he plopped himself down on the floor, shaking his head...

  "Oh, I'll go back to my room and wait then. Call me when the meal is ready!" Zhiquan shouted as he rushed into his room.

  "What are you going back for? Come help me cook!" Luo Er said gruffly as she got up from the ground.

  "Dizzy, I don't know how to cook, so I won't bother helping out either. I'm going back to sleep, to be honest, I haven't woken up yet~" After saying that, Chen Zhiquan went back into his own room and continued sleeping!

  "Ahhh~~~~ What kind of world is this?! Oh my god~~~ I can't take it anymore! Suddenly there are two more men at home, no, two monsters! Life has lost all hope!" Luo'er complained as she walked out of the room and went to the small kitchen in the yard. Looking at the pile of things bought that morning, Luo'er shook her head gloomily, oh my god, what's the point of eating?!

  Standing in the kitchen, shouting through the window to the three boys' room, "Hey, what's for dinner tonight?"

  There is no sound in the room... nor is there anyone responding...

  Luo Er rushed into the hall and stood at their door, shouting again, "What's for dinner?"

  Still no one responded...

  He kicked the door open with a loud bang and rushed in, shouting: "Hey, what are you eating tonight? I've asked several times and no one answers, are you all deaf?"

  August is originally the hottest month in Xinjiang. The three big boys were almost naked when Luo Er rushed in with a loud shout, and it was not bad that they didn't lose their souls. The first action of the three people was to quickly pick up the towel and wrap themselves tightly, then they looked at each other in dismay, as if something had really happened earlier...

  "Lai Luoer, you're too shameless! Who dares to openly peep at a handsome guy like that?" Chen Zhiquan shouted with a gloomy face.

  "I peeked? What are you talking about? You're not like you weren't wearing that... uh, not like you weren't wearing underwear..." Luo Er said in a low voice, looking up with her head tilted back, her two cheeks already flushed red.

  "Oh no, Lu Xiansheng, she saw everything!" Chen Zhiquan innocently looked down at his body, afraid that he hadn't covered himself properly...

  "Depressed, Li Lu'er, people are sleeping, you're a girl and you just rushed in like this, do you want to scare me to death?" Lu Xiangsheng complained even more innocently.

  "Hehe, who made you three wake me up, and you're still sleeping..."

  "I didn't scold you!" Xuan Sheng shouted back.

  "I didn't either..." Lei Chao also innocently looked at his sister.

  Then Lu Xiansheng and Li Chao suddenly turned their heads together, their eyes fixed on Chen Zhiquan who was pretending to be innocent. Lu Xiansheng smiled and said to Luo Er, "You go out first... the rest of the things, we'll handle ourselves..."

  With a satisfied look on his face, he gazed at Chen Zhiquan and said, "Hmph, that's it then. I'm out of here, enjoy yourself."

  As soon as Luo Er closed the door, she heard Chen Zhiquan's pitiful begging voice and his heart-wrenching roar. Luo Er smiled slightly and walked out quietly.

  In the evening, I made stir-fry and rice because Zhi Quan said they grew up in Shanghai since childhood, Shanghainese people like to eat white rice and don't like to eat noodles.

  The boy had just cut some scallions and lettuce from the vegetable garden in front of the house, washed them clean and put them on a bamboo tray to drain the water. Then he was about to wash the rice, when he looked up again and saw the three big boys sitting under the grape trellis, eating unwashed grapes, each singing a line: "The girl in the kitchen looks over~looks over~looks over~please don't pretend to cook and ignore us~actually we are all very handsome..."

  The child almost fell out of the kitchen window with a bad stomachache.

  "Stop yelling! If you yell again, you'll really summon the wolves from Ba Li Kun, okay, kids?"

  "Who doesn't know how to appreciate is a child..." Chen Zhiquan joked.

  "You think everyone is like you." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

  "Li Chao, you go help your sister with dinner first, I'll take Zhi Quan out for a bit." Xuan Sheng said to Li Chao.

  "Alright, got it!" Lei Chao nodded and went into the kitchen. Lu Xiansheng pulled Chen Zhiquan out.

  "Why drag me out? Can't you say what you want inside?" Chen Zhiquan asked.

  "Of course, you can't say it inside, how come you react so slowly!"

  "What's wrong? What's going on? Tell me now."

  "Zhiquan, how much money is left on your card?" Lu Xiansheng asked.

  "The money on my card... uh, you know this already, I only had a little over 30,000 to begin with, and now there's at most 2,000 left..."

  "Where's that card of yours? That credit card?"

  "There were several hundred thousand on that card, but your dad froze it for me! You're not unaware of this, are you? Why bring it up suddenly?" Chen Zhiquan asked gruffly.

  "I found out this morning when I went out that my credit card wasn't frozen!" Lu Xiansheng became even more depressed.

  "What? How is that possible? Your dad froze all my cards, and there's so much money on your card, how could it not be frozen?" Chen Zhiquan asked with his mouth agape.

  "Yeah, I didn't believe it at first either, but later on I realized that this card of mine must have been sentenced to death by my old man too, just like yours..."

  "Why did only mine freeze? Didn't yours?"

  "You've forgotten, now such trivial matters my dad would absolutely not handle in person... this matter should have been handled by my sister..."

  "Mei You Jie? That's not right, if she wanted to freeze the account, she would definitely have frozen both of our cards as well. How come your card wasn't frozen?"

  "I don't know either, but it's definitely not a good thing. I think she must have told my dad that we've already frozen our accounts, and then gave you and me a way out... Another possibility is that she wants to use this card to withdraw money again to find you and me!"

  "Yes, it's possible, Mei You sister is so spoiled to us ~ Ah, Lu Xian Sheng, do you want to move the money in your card?" Chen Zhi Quan lit a cigarette.

  "Hmm! There's still at most 2,000 yuan on that card that nobody knows about. Think about it, if we go to Xingzhong next week for class, maybe that money will just barely be enough for us to pay the tuition fees. After paying the tuition fees, you and I will be penniless! How are we going to live in the future? And how can we help Lulu and her family?"

  "No way! Absolutely not! If you withdraw this money, don't even mention taking out 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, just taking out 100 yuan will be known by the whole family! In that case, won't our whereabouts be exposed by ourselves? We've been outside for almost two months now. Do you really want to be discovered by our families and then taken back home? You're not going to help Lao Er's family if you get taken back, are you? Think about it yourself!"

  "Haha ~ Not that serious, I just said a little bit! You said so much..." Xuan Sheng said with a smile.

  "Anyway, you see for yourself, I've said all I need to say, if you don't listen then there's nothing I can do."

  "I'll take the bet!" Xuan Sheng's gaze was so firm.

  "What are we betting on? Are we going to let Mei Youjie let us off the hook again?" Chen Zhiquan hung his head in despair, flicking the ash from the tip of his cigarette.

  "Hmm! I believe in my sister and also believe that she will let us off the hook this time. Besides, we're only betting once!" Xuan Sheng's unwavering gaze left Zhi Quan speechless.

  "When were you planning on going to get the money?"

  "Tomorrow..."

  Watching Xuan Sheng's resolute attitude, Zhi Quan may have only understood at this moment that loving someone means being willing to protect her at all costs, even with one's life.
