Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

Bai Su was unaware of these things and naturally couldn't understand them.

Moreover, she didn't quite understand why Cheng Yizhou, given his family's good background, would pull strings to get him into Imperial High School.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, even Cheng Yizhou's stepbrother was studying at the Imperial High School, but this biological son was sent to the worst school, No. 3 Middle School.

This is really not in compliance with regulations.

No matter how biased one is, it's impossible to cut corners in this area.

Moreover, Cheng Yizhou's father clearly had expectations for Cheng Yizhou's studies.

She voiced her doubts.

Cheng Yizhou said, "I can't tell you that; it's a family secret. It's kind of an agreement... I can't explain it, but I can't tell you."

After he said that, Bai Su didn't ask any further questions, thinking that Cheng Yizhou wouldn't be able to hold it in and would definitely talk to her about the whole story soon.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yizhou didn't say anything this time.

Not a single word was mentioned, as if the topic had never been brought up before.

Bai Su was secretly puzzled.

What a big secret this is!

However, since it really was a very important secret, Bai Su decided not to pry into it, since it was none of her business anyway.

But Cheng Yizhou mentioned something else.

"My grandfather said he'd like to invite you to his house for dinner this weekend."

Bai Su quickly waved her hand: "I have other things to do this weekend."

"You're not giving my grandfather any face?"

"Of course not..."

"This is the first time my grandpa has invited my classmate over. No matter what you're doing, you have to make time to go. If you don't have time on Saturday or Sunday, then Friday night."

Bai Su sighed.

It wasn't that she was being disrespectful; she just found it troublesome.

Socializing with unfamiliar people is exhausting.

Moreover, she didn't know why the other party had invited her.

Cheng Yizhou's grandfather doesn't sound like the kind of person who would invite his grandson's classmate to his home for a visit when he has nothing else to do.

When asked, Cheng Yizhou said he didn't know either, only saying, "You have to go! Otherwise, you don't consider me a friend."

He had already promised his grandfather, so if Bai Su didn't go, wouldn't he lose face?

Bai Su sighed.

Since Cheng Yizhou had already put it this way, Bai Su also wanted to see what was going on with that troublesome mother and son in his family, so she agreed.

"Then Friday night will do."

It's only Wednesday, there are still two days left.

"However..." she changed the subject, "If I agree to have dinner at your house, you also have to agree to have dinner with me."

"What kind of food?"

Bai Su briefly explained Ye Yixue's invitation.

Cheng Yizhou looked at her speechlessly: "I thought you were smart, but it seems I misjudged you. This is clearly a trap, and you still went? Anyway, I will never sit down to eat with that Lin guy in my entire life."

Cheng Dong's original surname was Lin, and his given name was Lin Dong.

He still doesn't acknowledge that Cheng Dong's surname is Cheng.

Bai Su replied, "It's precisely because it's a trap that we should go. Only cowardly and incompetent people are afraid of a trap. Besides, I prefer having everything under control to the unknown."

She would feel uncomfortable if things dragged on and she couldn't figure out what the other person wanted.

Cheng Yizhou didn't understand, but agreed to cooperate.

"Then I'll say, 'You're the younger brother I've adopted,' okay?"

Cheng Yizhou reflexively replied, "Dream on! Unless I'm the older brother."

"The word 'older brother' can be ambiguous, and that's why I had you pretend to be my adopted younger brother, just in case there's ambiguity."

Cheng Yizhou understood; they were afraid Ye Yixue would say something inappropriate in front of the Ye family.

This is disadvantageous to Bai Su.

But he still tried to argue: "What month is your birthday?"

April 15th.

Coincidentally, she and the original owner of the body both have the same birthday, April 15th.

Perhaps that's why she was reborn into the real Bai Su?

However, after Bai Su finished speaking, Cheng Yizhou looked dejected.

His birthday is in November...

He... is indeed the younger brother.

This realization left him feeling frustrated all afternoon, but with Bai Su watching over him, he didn't skip class or sleep in class, and actually learned some more knowledge.

Bai Su also discovered that Cheng Yizhou had excellent talent in both mathematics and English, and being good at mathematics would naturally make learning science subjects easier.

His only weakness was Chinese language.

He's eloquent, but when it comes to writing, it's like squeezing toothpaste – it's painful, and his vocabulary is very limited.

"When you have time, read more anthologies. If you can't write it yourself, just memorize it. Add more allusions to your essays, and your score will improve."

"You're so long-winded!"

Despite his initial disdain, Cheng Yizhou ordered several anthologies and collections of historical anecdotes online.

Bai Su caught a glimpse of it and asked him in surprise, "You can buy things on your phone?"

Cheng Yizhou was originally embarrassed because he was caught secretly buying literary collections, which would make Bai Su feel that he was too obedient to her.

Hearing her say that, all the embarrassment disappeared, leaving only surprise.

"Are you a caveman? You don't even know about online shopping?"

Bai Su glanced at him: "You forgot, I come from a fishing village. We don't have online shopping where I'm from."

This is the truth.

It was precisely because there was no online shopping that this event was not in the original owner's memory, and Bai Su was completely unaware of it.

Hearing her say that, Cheng Yizhou's surprise turned into sympathy.

"Online shopping has been around for years, you just need to download some software, I'll teach you..."

He taught Bai Su very patiently, which surprised the other students in the class.

"Isn't Cheng Yizhou supposed to be the school bully? He seemed like he didn't want to talk to anyone. But now he doesn't seem like that anymore?"

"Therefore, we cannot believe rumors. Hearing is deceiving; seeing is believing."

As a result, some people actually dared to speak to Cheng Yizhou.

Cheng Yizhou wasn't an arrogant person to begin with; he would respond normally when others spoke to him.

So, in one afternoon, Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou got to know many classmates.

Bai Su felt like she had discovered a new world after learning how to shop online, and bought a lot of things in one go.

If she weren't so strapped for cash, she would have wanted to buy even more things.

For example, more medicinal materials and pharmaceutical tools, as well as various books.

But don't worry, once she signs a contract with Sun Yuze's company, she'll have money.

I spent a break between classes buying things, and during the last PE class, the PE teacher "asked for leave," so it was changed to self-study.

As usual, even if it was changed to self-study, Cheng Yizhou would still go out to play basketball.

But not this time.

He sat quietly and listened to Bai Su explain the problem to him.

Bai Su also enjoyed explaining problems to Cheng Yizhou, because in the process of explaining, she could also clarify her own thinking.

As the conversation progressed, the topic turned to Cheng Yizhou's exam paper.

"I'll talk to you about a few topics."

Cheng Yizhou waved his hand: "No need, you've already finished writing it for me, what's the point of learning anymore?"

"Those questions use high school level knowledge, which is within the scope of the college entrance examination. If you understand these questions, they will also be helpful for the college entrance examination."

Cheng Yizhou then patiently listened to the questions.

He is very motivated to study now.

He didn't want to study before because he felt that no matter what, he would be sent abroad after the college entrance examination.

Studying is useless and meaningless.

It's different now.

He wanted to win against Cheng Dong, see the mother and son shocked, and then do something "wrong" as Bai Su had said.

When people have goals and motivation, their mindset changes completely.

For the entire class period, Bai Su was showing Cheng Yizhou the test papers his father had assigned that week.

Cheng Yizhou understood, and Bai Su's thoughts became clearer as well.

School was about to end.

Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou didn't go directly there. Since they had plenty of time before their scheduled time, they decided to do their homework together in the classroom.

After finishing their homework, the two went to Shangshige, the place Ye Yixue had mentioned, as agreed.

This is a very classical-style restaurant, and many people even dress up in ancient clothes to take photos and check in.

Before Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou arrived, Ye Yixue and Cheng Dong arrived first.

In just a few days, her relationship with Cheng Dong progressed rapidly.

Just now, he opened the car door for her and helped her out of the car.

Moreover, they even changed how they addressed each other; they no longer called each other "classmate."

She called him A-Dong, while Cheng Dong called her Xiao-Xue.

There was just one thing that Ye Yixue couldn't understand.

She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Ah Dong, what exactly do you want with my sister?"

Cheng Dong looked into her eyes: "When did I contact your sister?"

Ye Yixue was stunned: "Didn't you say that I absolutely had to invite her to dinner?"

Cheng Dong smiled, his lips curving upwards.

"Silly girl, if your parents, teachers, or classmates find out that I'm inviting you to dinner alone, what will they think? It's safest for you to invite your sister along. I don't care about myself, but your reputation is more important to me than anything else. So, I'm not inviting your sister; I just want to invite you to dinner."

Cheng Dong looked directly into her eyes, his tone serious but his gaze gentle.

Ye Yixue felt like she was floating up to the clouds.

I see……

It turns out that Cheng Dong didn't want to find Bai Su, but rather wanted to use Bai Su as a shield!

He was a rather restrained and polite person, and didn't want to cross the line into puppy love, but he couldn't help getting closer to her and wanted to invite her to dinner...

If she had known this would happen, why did she go through all that trouble to find Bai Su?

You can find a shield anywhere; it's not just Bai Su who can.

She overthought things, and instead became overly cautious, making matters more complicated.

However, compared to these frustrations, Ye Yixue was more excited.

Cheng Dong's words were practically a confession.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.

Cheng Dong reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "These things are between the two of us; don't tell anyone. My family is quite strict. I imagine yours is too."

"Mmm!" Ye Yixue nodded vigorously.

She doesn't really care, especially at home.

Ye Xiaofeng had previously hinted that Deputy Director Sun's son was single, and that she should pay attention to it.

If they knew that the person who likes her now is the future heir of the Cheng Group, both Ye Xiaofeng and Dong Suying would want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

She also wanted to tell the whole world immediately, but since Cheng Dong said so, she listened to him to avoid offending him, and even more so because she was afraid that the Cheng family would dislike her.

I'll announce it to the world after I graduate.

"I had no idea before... When did you start... noticing me?"

Cheng Dong smiled and said, "I can't remember either."

Can't remember?

Was that a long time ago?

Ye Yixue was even happier.

However, they did not notice the slightest hint of mockery hidden deep in Cheng Dong's eyes.

When a person is immersed in a honey pot, they cannot see the traps outside the honey pot.

Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou arrived at the restaurant at this time.
