Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"Oh no, Brother Zhou is definitely angry," she screamed inwardly.

Ning Xiaojun, with her keen intuition, sensed the slightly awkward atmosphere and tentatively asked, "Excuse me, what's your relationship to our Su Su?"

Zhou Chenyu then turned his gaze to Ning Xiaojun, his expression calm and composed: "Hello, I'm Su Fengnan's cousin. I came to deliver some things to her. I noticed that all the students had left and I hadn't seen her come out, so I came into the school to check on her."

His tone was polite and there was no flaw in his words.

"Why aren't you two going home? Aren't you hungry?" he asked again.

Upon hearing that it was her cousin, Ning Xiaojun's attitude instantly changed completely. The scrutinizing look and the wariness in her eyes vanished in an instant.

"Oh, it's my cousin! We're family, after all," Ning Xiaojun said warmly. "You've come at the perfect time, cousin. Why don't you join us for a meal? It's on me."

Zhou Chenyu looked at Su Fengnan, her tone gentle but firm: "No need, I'm just here to pick her up for dinner."

"Really?" Ning Xiaojun tugged at Su Fengnan's sleeve, asking with her eyes.

Su Fengnan lowered her head and gave a muffled "hmm".

Seeing this, Ning Xiaojun could only put aside her thoughts: "Then I'll talk to you another day. You should go home and eat first; you must be hungry right now."

Su Fengnan turned to look at her, her eyes filled with worry: "Are you alright?"

Ning Xiaojun smiled casually, "It's okay, it's hard to explain in a short time, let's talk about it another time."

Su Fengnan stared at her intently, as if trying to confirm whether she was truly alright.

"Really, let's go, let's go out together." Ning Xiaojun patted her hand.

Su Fengnan nodded and responded with an "Mm".

The two walked out arm in arm. Su Fengnan glanced furtively at Zhou Chenyu walking beside her, only to be caught red-handed by him.

Su Fengnan didn't care about anything else. She put down her schoolbag and ran to the kitchen to wash her hands. After washing, she quickly returned to the dining table, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating. She was really starving.

"Nanbao, don't rush, it's all yours, eat slowly." Zhou Chenyu served her some food while also ladling a bowl of soup in front of her. "Have some soup first, to fill your stomach."

This time, Su Fengnan didn't care how Zhou Chenyu called her; her mind was only focused on the food in front of her.

……

On the other side, Zhang Li happened to see Su Fengnan and Zhou Chenyu getting into the car together.

And this time, some of her classmates saw it too. A strange sense of pleasure surged into her heart, and a wicked plan quietly began to take shape in her mind.

It must be admitted that when a person truly harbors malice, they will use all their intelligence and take advantage of every opportunity to do things that harm both themselves and others. It seems that only in this way can they vent the dark malice in their heart.

After finishing lunch, Zhang Li parted ways with her classmates, found a phone booth, and made a phone call for a full half hour.

She had just hung up the phone when a voice came from behind her: "Zhang Li, who are you talking to on the phone here? And why are you talking for so long? What are you doing?"

Zhang Li was startled and turned around guiltily. She saw a young thug with non-mainstream hair dyed in an unconventional color standing behind her.

Her face immediately fell: "Who are you? Do I know you?"

The thug snorted, "You may not recognize me, but I know you. You're really generous, giving Big Dog and his gang bags and bags of food and drinks, and they haven't even helped you much."

He grinned maliciously. "I heard everything you said. Do you need my help?"

Zhang Li glanced at him, her tone tinged with doubt: "Are you sure you can do it?"

"What's wrong with that? She's just a little girl. What can she do to me?"

Zhang Li chuckled lightly: "She has a rich man by her side, aren't you afraid?"

The thug looked around and, noticing the crowd on the street, lowered his voice and said, "How about we find somewhere else to talk?"

Zhang Li glanced at her watch: "Okay."
