Uncle and Aunt Ye had sold their house in order to pay off their debts, but the money they got was simply far from enough to repay it in totality. It just so happened that their creditor became interested in Ye Shen, so they used Ye Shen to offset their debts without regret.
Therefore, Uncle and Aunt Ye didn’t expect that the fierce group of loan sharks would come find them again.
However, since Ye Shen had ran away, and since they couldn’t find trouble with Chu Zheng, they directly targeted the Ye couple after getting their new address.
As the saying goes, if you can’t afford to offend, you can only hide.
Since Ye Shen was under the protection of Chu Zheng, they naturally didn’t dare looking for him either. So they could only trouble Uncle Ye who originally owed the money as he was the one who needed to pay off the debt in the first place.
How could Uncle Ye still have any money left? The debtors unhesitatingly broke his legs as a warning and didn’t stop coming to his door every other day to claim the money.
Not long after, Aunt Ye couldn’t bear it anymore and ran away with the last bit of money they had left.
With both legs crippled and no one around to take care of him, Uncle Ye could only miserably live the rest of his life in the streets.
–
On Ye Shen’s side, the college entrance examination was just around the corner.
Perhaps because he had finally solved his biggest problem, Ye Shen had no worries and was in a great mood for a long time, performing extremely well in the exam.
He couldn’t fail the exam.
He could only work harder ……
Ye Shen got accepted into many prestigious universities, but he didn’t choose a foreign university and instead settled on a local one.
The university he went ta had a very good reputation and qualified teachers. And more importantly, it was close to Chu Zheng’s high school.
Perhaps because of the change of environment, without his infuriating aunt and uncle to pester and trouble him, Ye Shen gradually started to change.
He was no longer that poor little kid who was bullied by others.
Because of Wang Zhe’s tasks, Chu Zheng had to squander money on a daily basis and carelessly threw all the useless things she bought to Ye Shen.
And whenever Ye Shen refused to accept it, Chu Zheng would …… fiercely threaten him…… until he could only helplessly accept it.
After the divorce, Ji Tongtong never showed up again, and Chu Zheng didn’t spot her anywhere.
Meng Ran also went to Ye Shen’s university, but Chu Zheng did not meet him often. Even when they coincidently ran into each other, Meng Ran would only look at her with a complicated gaze before turning around and leaving.
“Chu Zheng.”
Outside the school gate, Ye Shen was casually dressed in a clean white shirt, silently waiting for her. Compared to a year ago, this Ye Shen seemed like a completely different person.
He now looked like a sunny and handsome youth, effortlessly attracting everyone’s attention wherever he went.
Chu Zheng walked over, “What’s wrong?”
“Are you free this weekend?”
“Not free.”
“You have something planned?”
“En.”
“What are you doing?”
“…… Spending money.”
Ye Shen stayed silent for a second.
“I …… can I accompany you?” Since he couldn’t changer her decision, Ye Shen asked tentatively if he could tag along.
“Mm.”
Chu Zheng didn’t mind him following her and calmly walked outside the school gate. Ye Shen quickly caught up with her, smoothly taking over her school bag, “Do you have any homework today?”
“Have.”
“Shall I write it for you?”
“Good.”
Ye Shen: “……”
It really took a lot of effort to talk to her. She never talked about nonsense, and whatever could be expressed clearly in one word would never be expressed in two words.
Ye Shen followed her and asked tentatively: “You will soon be taking the college entrance examination, did you figure out which school you want to go to?”
After being together for such a long time, he realized that her grades actually weren’t bad.
The reason she didn’t bother to do her homework was merely because she found it troublesome, and her writing speed was also truly slow.
Chu Zheng stayed silent for a few seconds before coldly answering: “No.”
Ye Shen instantly felt happy and couldn’t help giving birth to some expectations: “In that case, how about …… my school?”
The main reason he stayed here was for her sake, if she ended up not going to his school …… he must let her go his school no matter what.
Chu Zheng looked at Ye Shen who was busy trying to keep his expression in check so that his feelings wouldn’t accidently be revealed to her.
“Ok.” Since he was there, she could conveniently throw him the useless stuff she spent money on. That bastard system kept on giving her so many tasks, it was so troublesome. Also, she couldn’t get too far away from him in case something happened.
It was so hard to be a good person!
Ye Shen’s long eyelashes trembled lightly at her answer. She …… agreed?
Suddenly, Ye Shen felt his heart swelling with excitement and happiness, and his blood surged with elation.
She had agreed!
