Age of Legends

Chapter 16: Millennium Fox
In Class 5 of Senior 2, Li Runjia is definitely in the first echelon and is very far ahead. The second echelon is Shen Nuoyi, Tian Jiayi, and Peng Xin.

Li Runjia ranked first in overall performance and had no weaknesses in any subject, thanks to his high level of receptiveness to knowledge and his flexible mind.

There are two schools of thought in learning English: the diligent school and the method school.

He is a method-oriented person and does not rely mainly on diligence. For English, he just needs to improve his vocabulary, master grammar and improve his listening skills.

Li Runjia only has good grades, he is not a god. There are many English vocabulary words that he has not learned, and he cannot prepare for each subject every day. Sometimes he takes shortcuts and follows the lessons in class, and that is almost enough.

He felt that he might not be able to translate this question so well and might make mistakes, such as missing words or redundant words, but Zhang Chen, who was ranked last, was able to answer it accurately, so he gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Shuowei glanced at Zhang Chen suspiciously, "Did you prepare for the class?"

He didn't understand how Zhang Chen could do a good job of translating this sentence. Sometimes a translated sentence would involve changes in grammatical tenses, which would actually put a comprehensive test on English basics. It was not possible to translate accurately simply by memorizing the words.

"It must be preview!"

Wang Shuowei was certain that this was the answer he could most accept.

Zhang Chen did not comment on this.

In the next few classes, Wang Shuowei found that Zhang Chen rarely talked to him and actually did his homework.

Wang Shuowei accepted it. He didn't bother Zhang Chen or say anything sarcastic.

I even started doing the questions myself.

He already felt the pressure of the approaching final exam period from Zhang Chen.

We could have played together for a while and then reviewed in the last few days.

Now that Zhang Chen is forcing me to start, I have to do it too.

Really annoying!
……

After school at noon, Zhang Chen ate some noodles outside the school and then returned to the playground and walked for a while. He saw Shen Nuoyi and Zheng Xue going towards the teaching building. Zhang Chen walked forward in time and met Shen Nuoyi and Zheng Xue at the entrance of the corridor.

"I'll return your money." Zhang Chen handed over the money in his hand.

Zheng Xue looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, "Zhang Chen, I think you are more handsome than before, what's going on?"

This was probably Zheng Xue's way of showing goodwill to Zhang Chen. After what happened yesterday, many girls who were close to Zhuang Yanyue said bad things about Zhang Chen behind his back, but Zheng Xue was different. She didn't have any good feelings towards Zhuang Yanyue, and she and Zhang Chen's family worked in the same unit, so they were considered one of her own.

"Yeah." Shen Nuoyi took the money from Zhang Chen, opened his cotton wallet, and put the money in it.

Then Zhang Chen's voice came over again, "Thank you for your help yesterday. How about we treat you to a meal this afternoon to express our gratitude?"

Wang Shuowei was watching him from the side, wondering if there was such a plan. But he had no objection, as it would not spoil the fun.

Shen Nuo was stunned for a moment.

At the midpoint between the end of the morning school and the start of the afternoon school, time is tight and the workload is heavy. Many students just eat some fast food outside or in the cafeteria. They only have more time in the afternoon.

Whether it's eating some stir-fried dishes or taking a walk after dinner to enjoy the breeze and chat about life and get to know each other more deeply, this is the best time.

Zhang Chen deliberately returned the money and made the invitation after lunch because of this consideration.

Of course, he downplayed it so as not to be discovered that he had planned it.

"Huh?" Zheng Xue glanced at Zhang Chen warily. As a good friend of Shen Nuoyi, she was naturally sensitive to this. Many people had wanted to curry favor with Shen Nuoyi by asking her to give them benefits.

"No need to spend money, do you have money?" Shen Nuo said.

"I still have some savings." Zhang Chen told the truth.

Shen Nuoyi laughed, "Why are you pretending to be rich with that little savings?"

It's normal. We are all students with limited living expenses. There is no need to treat each other to meals. We all use our parents' money. The only formal dinner we have is mostly on each other's birthdays.

However, what Shen Nuoyi said had a virtuous tone.

But soon after Shen Nuo hesitated, he said something that dispelled her fantasy. She looked at him again and said calmly, "Besides, it's not convenient."

What Shen Nuoyi meant by inconvenience was that these days girls eat with girls and boys eat with boys. It would be very eye-catching if boys and girls ate together.

In the words of many people, he is either a traitor or a thief! What's more, it was a busy food stall during lunch time after school.

Apart from inviting boys like Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei to her birthday party, Shen Nuoyi had never eaten with boys at school since she was a child.

If you have never experienced this before, it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable.

"Zhang Chen, do you have any intentions? You rejected Zhuang Yanyue, are you planning to hit on our Shen Nuoyi?" Zheng Xue narrowed her eyes and yelled.

"What are you thinking about!" Wang Shuowei felt sorry for Zhang Chenming. He knew Zhang Chenming too well. He had the desire but not the courage. No matter who he wanted to target, he would not dare to target Shen Nuo, the goddess who had been with him since childhood in the three departments and four hospitals!
So Wang Shuowei was filled with indignation.

Zhang Chen glanced at Wang Shuowei, and Wang Shuowei gave him a firm and resolute look in return - right!
"I suddenly felt guilty, but you didn't even appreciate it." Zhang Chen laughed. Just kidding. Zheng Xue had already turned on the scanning radar, so of course he couldn't reveal any flaws at this time. He immediately pretended that he had only mentioned it casually.

"Huh!" Zheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Chen's sudden invitation was very strange, really very strange!
Fortunately, he returned to normal later.

"Come on, if I had known you were so generous, I would have asked you to sign a contract to sell yourself when I lent you the money! You should have paid at least 50, 60, 70 or 80 percent interest, then I would have made a fortune!" Shen Nuo took the wallet in his hand and gave a cunning smile like a profiteer.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person!" Zhang Chen said in a deep voice.

Shen Nuoyi and Zheng Xue were both stunned for a moment, not understanding why Zhang Chen suddenly became serious. Shen Nuoyi's eyes were a little stunned, she didn't know what she said wrong, could it be that Zhang Chen couldn't take a joke?

Zhang Chen took a step back and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "You actually want me, Da-Mei!"

"Tsk!" Zheng Xue gritted her teeth, "You want to die, Zhang Chen!"

"Tsk!" Shen Nuo rolled her eyes. Her black hair trembled like a misty waterfall falling from a mountain, flowing and graceful.

Wang Shuowei couldn't help but hold Zhang Chen's arm and punch him a few times.

It was a small episode, but Zheng Xue didn't give up and continued to test, "Zhang Chen, you don't have any other intentions by inviting Shen Nuoyi to dinner, right?"

"Tell me, if there really is one, Shen Nuoyi will eat it with you!"

After saying that, she looked at Shen Nuoyi, "Really? Yi Yi!"

"Ah?" Shen Nuo was a little flustered, but soon regained his composure. His phoenix eyes revealed a mischievous look, and he tilted his head to look at Zhang Chen, "Is it true?"

Wang Shuowei felt like he couldn't breathe the whole time.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath and responded with a calm smile, "No."

"Oh. That's it." Shen Nuo said.

"Are you disappointed?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes," Shen Nuo nodded and looked at him seriously, "very disappointed!"

Wang Shuowei, who was standing next to him, seemed to have lost his mind.

Zheng Xue took Shen Nuoyi's hand and looked at Zhang Chen with a smile.

Zhang Chen said, "After all, it's not convenient."

"right."

The conversation between the two people was understated.

In the cracked afternoon sunlight, Zhang Chen stood at one end of the light beam in the corridor, looking at Shen Nuoyi who was smiling charmingly at the other end.

They all seemed to have some regrets.
