Shen Chu’s wrist was only hit, and it was a little painful at first, but it gradually healed. He felt a little embarrassed to be surrounded like this, but… it was rare for his second brother to take the initiative to come over –

　　”Ouch, it still hurts.”

　　Shen Chu raised his hand in front of Shen Yi: “Second brother, huhu?”

　　Shen Yi: “…”

　　It seems that this little broken steamed bun is fine!

　　Shen Yi glared at Shen Chu: “Still giving you a blow? Do I need to send you to the hospital?”

　　”That’s not necessary.”

　　Shen Chu rubbed against Shen Yi and said with a smile: “Just send me to the school clinic.”

　　Shen Yi frowned: “Does it still hurt?”

　　”Yes, yes, it will only get better if the second brother blow.”

　　Shen Yi: “…”

　　You are such a grown-up, yet you still act like a spoiled brat in front of so many people…

　　Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a loud laugh from the side –

　　”Shen Chu, you’ve really reached that point, haha, aren’t you ashamed?”

　　Before Shen Chu could say anything, Shen Yi immediately glared at him and said, “Why is it embarrassing for my brother to act like a spoiled child with me?”

　　Qi Yuansi: “…”

　　”What are you talking about my brother?” Qi Yuanan rolled his eyes at Shen Yi.

　　Shen Yi folded his arms and snorted, “Why, are you jealous? It seems that your brother won’t act like a spoiled child with you, right?”

　　Qi Yuanan: “…your brother is the only one who knows how to act like a spoiled child!”

　　”Yeah, my brother is so cute.”

　　Shen Chu: “…”

　　Qi Yuansi: “…”

　　Xie Shiming coughed lightly and pulled Shen Chu to his side: “I’ll take him to the school clinic.”

　　Qi Yuansi immediately spoke up –

　　”Ah, I’m going too! Brother, just focus on filming!”

　　Leaving behind the two brothers who were still quarreling, the three younger brothers quickly left the “battlefield”…

　　…

　　”I’m really impressed. They’ve been arguing since they were little. Don’t you feel annoyed at all?”

　　Shen Chu rolled his eyes: “Who told you to laugh at me just now.”

　　Qi Yuansi looked like he couldn’t stand it: “Please, I’m getting goosebumps, okay!”

　　”I’m not acting cute to you!”

　　Shen Chu was righteous and confident——

　　”Besides, my second brother just fell for it. If I didn’t do this, he would definitely keep pestering me.”

　　”I want to ask for my second brother’s forgiveness, okay?”

　　Qi Yuansi sighed: “I see you often act like a spoiled child with Old Xie. This is a common occurrence for you——”

　　”What? You don’t have that?!”

　　Shen Chu refused to admit it: “I didn’t!”

　　”Bullshit! Or you can ask Lao Xie——”

　　Qi Yuansi immediately turned his head and said, “Old Xie, tell me, does Shen Chu always act like a spoiled child towards you?”

　　Shen Chu immediately turned around to look over, but for some reason he felt guilty…

　　Xie Shiming glanced at Qi Yuansi and asked, “Why do you always see him acting like a spoiled child to me?”

　　Shen Chu: “…”

　　Qi Yuansi: “…”

　　This sentence left both of them speechless.

　　Shen Chu secretly pinched Xie Shiming.

　　Another pinch on the waist.

　　But I still couldn’t pinch it.

　　After thinking for a while, he moved down again and reached out to pinch——

　　But it seemed as if Xie Shiming had eyes behind him. He stretched out his hand, held his hand, and squeezed it in his palm.

　　”Behave yourself.”

　　Shen Chu snorted lightly. How could he be restless?

　　Qi Yuansi, who was watching from the side, said: “…”

　　Damn, I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to say this——

　　This pair of dogs!

　　…

　　When he was almost at the school clinic, Shen Chu suddenly cried out “Ouch!” and remembered something –

　　He forgot to ask his second brother if there was a professional team he could lend to him…

　　Although it is possible to contact via mobile phone, it is definitely more convenient to talk in person. Moreover, Mu Rong’s efficiency is very fast. It has only been a whole day and the candidate has been selected, so he has to prepare quickly.

　　”Are you going to prepare a film?”

　　Qi Yuansi found Shen Chu’s words interesting and asked, “Can I, a non-professional, join in and help?”

　　”you?”

　　”Yeah, it’s basically the weekends anyway, and I don’t have much to do on weekends.”

　　Qi Yuansi rubbed his hands together, and the more he spoke, the better he felt. “I haven’t tried this kind of thing before, and it feels quite interesting. Let me help you, since you’re not short of people anyway, I can do anything!”

　　Shen Chu touched his chin and thought that this might be feasible.

　　Anyway, he is basically the one who is in charge of coordinating everything, he just needs help. It would definitely be more convenient if Qi Yuansi could come to help him.

　　”Okay, it’s settled then!”

　　…

　　Although I didn’t have anything to do, I still bought a spray.

　　Their task as extras had been completed, and Shen Yi and the others were still filming. As students, they couldn’t stay in the playground forever, so Shen Chu left a message for Shen Yi, and they could chat again when Shen Yi was free.

　　Now he faced another important problem.

　　Although he had dealt with his second brother, the last person who didn’t know he was back was Shen Songguo… The old man was really not easy to deal with… Even though his temper had softened a lot over the years, he still argued on matters of principle.

　　Shen Chu thought, how did things come to this point…

　　He raised his hand to Xie Shiming: “How about I get hit again? Do you think Grandpa will forgive me?”

　　Xie Shiming: “…I’m afraid Grandpa will only get angrier.”

　　”How could Grandpa not see through your little tricks?”

　　That’s right…

　　After all, old ginger is still spicy…

　　But it was too spicy and he didn’t dare to face it easily!

　　——The problem now is not that he still wants to conceal it, but how should he speak out? !

　　Should I ask him to send a message saying, Grandpa, I actually returned to China a long time ago, but I told you now because I was embarrassed to disturb your progress before. However, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother already know about it, so I’ll tell you now…

　　If he said that, he would be beaten to death, right? !

　　”Oh, one wrong step, all wrong. If I had known it would be like this, I would have said it the day I returned to China!”

　　The result is that it is like this now, neither up nor down…

　　Xie Shiming: “I think Grandpa will be back in the next two days. How about I ask him and then we can go pick him up in person?”

　　”Hmm? Go pick up Grandpa?”

　　Shen Chu thought for a moment and said, “But don’t we still have to go to class?”

　　If grandpa knew that they skipped school to pick him up, he would probably be even angrier, right?

　　”It’s not skipping class, it’s asking for leave.”

　　Shen Chu: “…”

　　Is there any difference?

　　”Teacher Xiaohua will approve the leave.”

　　Xie Shiming: “As long as your ranking in this month’s mock exam is within the range she recommended.”

　　Shen Chu: “…”

　　There are still requirements…

　　”What if I can’t achieve it?”

　　”We will sign a letter of guarantee. If we can’t meet the requirements, the letter of guarantee will be made public. Then the whole school can see it, and it may even be spread to other schools.”

　　“…”

　　It’s a disgrace to other schools.

　　But he was just going to pick up his grandfather!

　　This is a huge sacrifice…

　　“I’ll go!”

　　At this time, Qi Yuansi suddenly shouted, and then came over with his phone in hand——

　　”Hey, go check out the school forum!”

　　”I heard that Nanhong and Yubei will jointly rank in this month’s mock exam… What’s going on?!!”

　　”Why is this happening?”

　　It wasn’t just Qi Yuansi who was talking about it; it seemed like the news had spread. Shen Chu then noticed that many people in the class were also discussing the matter.

　　He and Xie Shiming looked at each other——

　　Is this a sign and preparation for Nanhong and Yubei to become one?

　　”So am I… catching up again?”

　　Shen Chu said quietly, “What ranking do you think Teacher Xiaohua will ask of me?”

　　Xie Shiming patted Shen Chu on the shoulder.

　　…

　　After confirming the time for Shen Songguo to return, I finally went to talk to Teacher Xiaohua and asked for half a day off.

　　But this requires a letter of guarantee…

　　”I remember you always got first place in exams in kindergarten.”

　　Teacher Xiaohua smiled and said, “So even though you have only been back to China for a short time, I believe in you.”

　　”Besides, don’t you still have your classmate Xie Shiming?”

　　”Oh, by the way, you know that the ranking of this mock exam will be combined with Yubei, right? Our school needs students like you to bring honor to the school. It just so happens that you come to see the teacher at this time, so the teacher will also set a small goal for you first.”

　　”You have to work hard, Shen Chu.”

　　“…”

　　Teacher, you almost said that I just happened to be sent here and ran into the trap…

　　However, after it was confirmed that Nanhong and Yubei were going to jointly rank, the whole school was filled with a strong and even competitive atmosphere… Even in Yubei, sometimes there would be several fighting posts popping up on the forum throughout the day.

　　Coupled with the basketball friendly match that just ended a few days ago, the atmosphere between the two sides was full of tension.

　　However, Shen Chu’s mind was not on this for the time being. After all, he still had to go pick up Shen Songguo… He and Xie Shiming asked for leave in the morning. They had already found out that their grandfather would arrive in the morning and come back by bus.

　　But he didn’t go home directly, but went to Zhao Desheng’s place –

　　Because the old man has an ornamental botanical garden, which is most suitable for raising birds.

　　The Shen family doesn’t have a suitable place to raise birds, so Shen Songguo has to go there first and ask Zhao Desheng to help raise them for a few days.

　　”Oh, by the way, what kind of job is Brother Xinyu doing now?”

　　Zhao Xinyu is the grandson of Zhao Desheng and also the high school classmate of his older brother Shen Shuo. They met when they were filming Director Xu’s play. After that, they often attended Mr. Zhao Desheng’s Chinese studies class together. He remembered that Zhao Xinyu was not a person who would keep to himself.

　　As expected, Xie Shiming said:

　　”I heard from my eldest brother that Brother Xinyu is a reporter, but he works alone.”

　　”Ah? Working alone? Are there any journalists who work alone? Then what kind of things does Brother Xinyu report on?”

　　Xie Shiming shook his head: “I’m not sure either, my brother didn’t elaborate.”

　　”but……”

　　”Hmm? But what?”

　　Xie Shiming: “Do you know that Nanhong and Yubei have a common forum?”

　　”I know. I don’t know when it was established, but it’s more active than the forums of our respective schools. Haven’t they been fighting for the past two days?”

　　Shen Chu was a little puzzled: “What’s wrong?”

　　Xie Shiming glanced at Shen Chu and said, “Do you know that I can delete a post just by giving you a heads up?”

　　“Because I know the founder.”

　　Shen Chu opened his mouth and reacted a little bit——

　　”Could it be that… this joint forum, which is more popular than the Nanhong and Yubei forums, was founded by Brother Xinyu?”

　　When they got to this point, the two of them had already arrived near Zhao Desheng’s residence.

　　”In recent days, the atmosphere on the forum has been very tense. No matter how hard we try to delete posts, we can’t stop related topics that provoke conflict.”

　　Xie Shiming paused before continuing, “I heard from Shu Tongtong that everyone in their student union has received a private message, saying that they want to discuss how to ease the conflict between the students of the two schools and create a harmonious and beautiful joint forum.”

　　Shen Chu: “…So what?”

　　”But if we talk about it, it will involve people from the Nanhong and Yubei student unions.”

　　”Neither of them was willing to go to the other’s school to discuss the matter.”

　　”We can’t unify the time on weekends, and the schools on both sides also attach great importance to this matter…”

　　Xie Shiming sighed: “So I heard from Brother Xinyu that this matter was organized by him and it was decided on his side——”

　　”He’s here…”

　　Shen Chu looked ahead and said, “We shouldn’t run into each other, right?”

　　”It shouldn’t be here, right?”

　　”Surely it won’t be this day?”

　　No, he just went to pick up his grandfather, we must not let him encounter anything else!

　　And he remembered hearing the news before—

　　It seems that Xie Junze is in the student union in Yubei?
