Zhang Wen's name

Ever since Xie Zhijun witnessed Lin Qiuli assaulting someone, he has been constantly thinking about her. This has caused him great anxiety lately, so he has taken a few days off to rest at home.

As soon as he entered the house, he found that all his relatives had come, including his uncles who usually only came back for holidays, which made him very curious.

When Xie Xiaoli saw Xie Zhijun walk in, she immediately asked curiously.

"Zhijun, do you know who Yanran's boyfriend is?"

Xie Zhijun was completely bewildered. Did Xie Yanran have a boyfriend? How come he didn't know?

"Auntie, I didn't know my aunt had a boyfriend."

Xie Xiaoli was a little skeptical. "You're all in the same school, how could you not know?"

"Zhijun, your grandfather said he was from your school. You're a graduate student now, right?"

Xie Zhijun was even more confused after hearing this. "How come I didn't know? Xie Yanran is in the same department as me, just two years ahead of me."

"Auntie, I really don't know. You should ask Grandpa."

Xie Xiaoli felt a little helpless. If Xie Jianjun had said so, would she still need to ask him?

"Zhijun, your grandpa didn't want to tell me, saying I'm a big mouth and what if I scare people away?"

Xie Zhijun said that his grandfather was right, and that he was a big mouth.

"Auntie, I'll go inside now. You'll know when the servants arrive."

"You go ahead, I'll stay at the door and watch. This girl has such high standards, I want to see what kind of boyfriend she has."

Xie Zhijun shook his head; he might as well just ask Xie Yanran directly.

Xie Zhijun arrived at Xie Yanran's residence in the backyard.

"Auntie, I heard you're dating someone. Are you being so secretive? You even kept it from me."

Xie Yanran didn't even look up, and gave a perfunctory reply.

"You brat, I'm your elder. Do I need to tell you about my dating life?"

Xie Zhijun was a little defensive; it's just that he's two years older than me.

"Xie Yanran, you're only two years older than me, I don't believe it."

Xie Yanran glared at him, and then said.

"I'll tell your dad later and see if he beats you up."

Xie Zhijun chickened out again. Why can't he take a joke?

"Auntie, why are you such a sore loser?"

Xie Yanran looked at him smugly, thinking, "You little brat, I can't handle you."

"Zhijun, why are you skipping class? You seem to be going to the lab today."

Xie Zhijun blushed a little upon hearing this.

"Auntie, it's not that I have something on my mind, it's just that I want to rest for a few days."

Xie Yanran had been in a relationship before, so she knew this brat was up to no good.

"Do you have someone you like?"

Xie Zhijun blurted it out.

"How could I like her? She's so violent."

Xie Yanran was speechless. "I haven't even asked yet, and you've already admitted it."

"Zhijun, if you like her, talk to her properly. If it's a good match, go meet her parents. You need to understand that in families like ours, if the family doesn't approve, it won't work out."

After hearing this, Xie Zhijun fell silent for a moment, unsure whether he liked the person in question.

"Auntie, what does it feel like to like someone?"

Xie Yanran didn't quite understand either, as she had only recently started dating, but she was aware of when someone had feelings for her.

"Zhijun, liking someone makes you anxious and insecure, you often think about that person, and you often space out, just like you."

Xie Zhijun was speechless. Was he really that obvious?

"Auntie, am I that obvious?"

"You just space out after saying a few words, isn't that obvious?"

Xie Zhijun suddenly fell silent again.

"Auntie, this girl likes my buddy, but he doesn't like her, and I really like her. What should I do?"

Xie Yanran was stunned after hearing this. "Are you guys being really dramatic?"

"Zhijun, do you know what you're saying? How can you like a girl who already has a boyfriend? This is immoral. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have connections. Your dad will beat you to death if you do."

Xie Zhijun was speechless after hearing this. "Am I that kind of person? Besides, the pride of our Xie family wouldn't allow me to do such a thing."

"Auntie, what are you thinking? That girl likes my buddy, but my buddy doesn't like her. But I like that girl too."

Xie Yanran was speechless after hearing this. "Are you a simp?"

"Xie Zhijun, are you a simp? How can you do this to live up to the expectations our family has placed in you? Why don't you learn from Zhang Zeyu?"

Xie Zhijun was a little annoyed after hearing this. "What am I comparing myself to him for? He's so popular now. I study very hard too, but my grades are still worse than his. Where can I complain?"

"Auntie, are you even speaking human language? Is there anyone at school better than him? You know how popular Zhang Zeyu is at school. The number of girls chasing him could circle the school twice. I wonder which girl will end up getting the girl he wants."

Hearing this, Xie Yanran felt a little embarrassed.

"Is Zhang Zeyu really as good as you say? How come so many people like him?"

Xie Zhijun looked at Xie Yanran speechlessly.

"Auntie, do you think there's anyone in the whole school who's both more handsome and academically gifted than him?"

Xie Yanran fell silent after hearing this. Did she only start paying attention to him because he was good-looking?

"Xie Zhijun, the guy you're talking about isn't Zhang Zeyu, is he?"

Xie Zhijun was a little frustrated. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't feel so powerless. But that person was Zhang Zeyu, whose family background was no worse than his, whose studies were better, and who was also so handsome.

"Aunt, you're right. Lin Qiuli really likes Zhang Zeyu. I heard her dorm room is covered with his photos."

Xie Yanran was furious after hearing this. "You shameless Lin Qiuli, how could you covet my man?"

"Zhijun, how did Lin Qiuli get Zhang Zeyu's photo?"

Xie Zhijun looked at Xie Yanran with the eyes of someone looking at a piece of trash.

"Auntie, you didn't know, did you?"

Xie Yanran was a little confused. What kind of look is that?

"Xie Zhijun, if you look at me like that, I'll beat you up later. Besides, I'm not familiar with Zhang Zeyu, how would I know?"

"Alright, Auntie, since you're not familiar with him, I'll tell you about my buddy's glorious history."

"Ever since Zhang Zeyu found out he was famous, he immediately registered on a social media platform. Now he has 1000 million followers. Do you know what that means? It means that any item he sells will be snapped up by a huge number of people."

"He didn't just sell random things; he only sold autographed photos and some study materials. I conservatively estimate he earned over 1 million."

Xie Yanran was shocked to hear this. Was this guy really that outstanding? She thought he was just good at studying.

"Zhijun, how many photos has he sold, and how much per photo?"

Xie Zhijun looked at her with a suspicious expression after hearing this.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."

Xie Yanran felt a little embarrassed after saying this.

Xie Zhijun didn't think much of it and honestly told her the truth.

"Zhang Zeyu's photos come in three types: one with a signature, one without a signature, and one that is custom-made."

Xie Yanran was very interested after hearing this.

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course we have them. Signed ones are 200, unsigned ones are 50, and custom-made ones are more expensive, 20 per set."

Xie Yanran was shocked when she heard this.

"Would anyone buy something this expensive? And what's with this custom-made one?"

Xie Zhijun said with a hint of pride.

"How could no one want them? We've already sold nearly 50 regular ones, 10 autographed ones, and there seem to be around 500 orders for the custom ones."

Xie Yanran was truly shocked. Was this the terrifying ability of a top student?

"As his buddy, you didn't get anything out of it."

Xie Zhijun felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Auntie, I made about 500 million yuan as a middleman."

"Xie Zhijun, Zhang Zeyu sold it for such a high price, yet you still managed to make a profit."

"Auntie, I'm his assistant. I'm the one who edits all the photos. He's just responsible for maintaining the popularity. Basically, he just makes sure it doesn't collapse. You have no idea how many people envy me."

Well, even though they're both top students, the difference is just too big.

Just as the two were chatting animatedly, Xie Xiaoli walked in.

"You're still chatting? That man's here. Hurry up and get out."
