Coming out of the bathroom, Chi Le thought of Zhuang Xinchun's frustrated look just now, and felt a little excited, "Was I very smart just now and performed well?"
"Yeah, smart." Sheng Zhuo put his hands in his pockets and said with a blank expression, "She's so smart that even Zhuang Xinchun can't beat her."
Chi Le snorted indifferently: "I don't care about little green tea."
Sheng Zhuo laughed muffledly. Just now when he pushed the door open, he seemed to see Chi Le's eyes were a little red from anger. But now when he looked closely, it seemed that it was not the case. He didn't know if he had seen it wrong.
"But why didn't you choose to believe Zhuang Xinchun's words like Fang Younian?" Chi Le was curious.
Considering that he and Zhuang Xinchun had known each other for many years, Sheng Zhuo's reaction was really rare.
Zhuang Xinchun liked to act innocent in front of his elders since he was little. Later, when he grew up a little, he liked to act simple in front of his classmates. Everyone generally believed him. If Chi Le hadn't taken advantage of his good looks, he would have been portrayed as an unforgivable villain under Zhuang Xinchun's deliberate slander over the years. Fortunately, he was good-looking, so he could always be more popular. After getting to know him better, everyone would understand his character, so they were not completely killed by Zhuang Xinchun's slander.
Sheng Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Although you haven't given me a good look in the past two years, I can still tell whether you are that kind of person or not."
In all these years of being classmates, he had never heard Chi Le brag about his family's wealth, let alone bullying others by relying on his family's wealth. Instead, he often heard others laugh at him behind his back, saying that he was the young master of a nouveau riche family.
Last year, the monitor's father was seriously ill and his family was in financial difficulty. The monitor even skipped lunch. Chi Le went around in circles to borrow the monitor's homework to copy, and then treated the monitor to lunch as a 'repayment'. In fact, Chi Le completed his homework on time every day and didn't need to borrow the monitor's homework at all.
The class monitor probably guessed that Chi Le wanted to help him, so after the situation at home eased, he gave Chi Le a small red flower brooch in front of the whole class. Chi Le's ears turned red with excitement.
If you were to ask when Sheng Zhuo really started to pay attention to Chi Le, it would probably be from that time.
In fact, Sheng Zhuo seldom pays attention to anything that has nothing to do with him. He remembers the names of his classmates just for convenience. He will smile when he sees everyone, just because he doesn't want to waste time dealing with unnecessary troubles. But Chi Le is an exception. He has been barging into Sheng Zhuo's world since the first day of school. When he regarded Sheng Zhuo as his mortal enemy, Sheng Zhuo couldn't help but pay attention to him. When he got close to Sheng Zhuo, Sheng Zhuo would unconsciously keep his eyes on him, and the situation has been getting worse over time.
Sheng Zhuo himself also found it strange.
"You are the third person besides my dad and Jian Cheng who believes in me without asking why." Chi Le said excitedly, "Others are always fooled by Zhuang Xinchun's innocent face. Alas, they are all too stupid."
Sheng Zhuo paused slightly, frowning slightly, "Were you often bullied by him before?"
"How is that possible? At most, I didn't know him when I first met him. I was young at the time and was deceived by him for a few days." Chi Le looked at the road ahead. "But he also suffered a lot. After all, I am loved by everyone and I look really likable."
