Chapter 11 There’s a long way to go
Today, Ruan Xi wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of casual shorts, which made her look more gentle.

Zhong Yun noticed that she was not wearing the earplugs that she always wore.

He took the scratch-off ticket and said, "This won't work."

Ruan Xi asked, "Why?"

"It will only work if I buy it with my own money. Let's go buy another one."

"Oh."

When the two of them went downstairs, he found a topic to chat about, "Why don't you go to school?"

Ruan Xi held the scratch ticket in her hand and said softly, "It's quieter at home."

Zhong Yun smiled and said, "A top student is willful."

"I'm not. I didn't make the top three in my grade."

Sure enough, everyone has a different definition of a top student. In her eyes, only those who rank in the top three in the grade can be considered top students.

The top three students in their school's grade are all strong contenders for the provincial top spot.

Zhong Yun asked, "Which university are you going to apply to?"

"My mom has always wanted me to get into Tsinghua University," Ruan Xi said, pausing for a moment. "If your score is not high enough, I can apply to Zhongda University."

You really don't consider Huawu's feelings at all.

The two chatted like this and left the community.

Zhong Yun felt that this girl was not as aloof as she looked. She was just a little bit socially anxious, but not much.

First, she had strict family education.

Secondly, the accidental death of her parents dealt her a great blow, which caused her to shut herself off from the world.

……

The two of them arrived at the lottery shop. The owner was looking at his phone. When he heard someone coming in, he put his phone down. He was surprised to see the two of them coming in together.

Yesterday, this man asked him about this girl, and today they came together.

This efficiency is quite high.

While the girl wasn't paying attention, the boss secretly gave Zhong Yun a thumbs up, saying he was quick enough.

Zhong Yun knew he had misunderstood, so he didn't explain and said, "A scratch ticket. I want to choose it myself today."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone to scan the red envelope first, and then made the payment.

The boss took out a stack of scratch tickets and put them on the counter. "Here."

Ruan Xi walked forward and casually pulled one from the middle.

"Are you sure this is the one?"

"Ah."

Zhong Yun took out the coins he had with him and prepared to start scratching.

Ruan Xi, who was standing next to him, stood on tiptoe and leaned over to stare at the scratch ticket. His fists clenched unconsciously, and he looked a little nervous.

The boss standing behind the counter was also watching intently.

This guy won the lottery for several days in a row, which gave him an idea: could this be a new way of scamming?

He can't help being careless, so you'd better keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't switch things up.

Zhong Yun started to scrape.

I scratched the ticket and won the prize, three hundred yuan.

"Hit again!"

The boss is really jealous. He can win hundreds of dollars every day. Is this guy possessed by the God of Europe?
Zhong Yun turned his head to look at Ruan Xi, and saw that she was a little excited. Two faint blushes appeared on her delicate and fair face like white porcelain. A bright color appeared in her eyes, which were like a deep pool, and almost dazzled his eyes.

His heart beat violently a few times, and he subconsciously looked away, not daring to look again.

Immediately, he felt something was wrong, "Why should I feel guilty?"

So Zhong Yun turned his head and looked at her again, until she lowered her head shyly, "Boss, redeem the prize."

The boss behind the counter looked at the two people flirting with each other and suddenly felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that this girl who usually looked very cold would be so easy to take advantage of. If he had known earlier, he would have gone straight for it.

Who wouldn’t be confused when seeing such a beautiful girl?

Now, he could only redeem his bonus and watch the two leave.

Zhong Yun sent Ruan Xi to the door of her house and said, "Come to see me tomorrow after lunch at 12:30. If I'm not there, call me."

Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Okay."

After Zhong Yun returned to the elevator, he shook his head in his heart.

What a silly girl.

I guess my parents were too strict in the past, so I didn’t have many friends and didn’t know how to deal with others.

He just deliberately told her to go find him, and she agreed without even thinking about it. She was probably a people-pleasing person.

When he goes out into society after this, won’t he be bullied to death?

Forget it, let me bully her - no, teach her a lesson.

……

In the next few days, Ruan Xi knocked on Zhong Yun's door at 12:30 every day, and then went to buy scratch tickets together. Until the fourth day, Zhong Yun heard the knock on the door but did not open it.

He waited for five minutes, but the phone didn't ring, so he thought she had left.

When I walked over to the peephole, I saw that she was still standing outside, holding a small notebook in her hand and moving her mouth as if she was reciting something.

Zhong Yun stared at her in front of the peephole for a few minutes and saw that she had no intention of leaving or making a phone call. He felt the helplessness of an old father facing his daughter.

He really doesn't listen.

He opened the door.

Ruan Xi, who was outside the door, saw the door open and subconsciously looked over. When she saw him, her mouth opened slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. She asked stupidly, "Are you home?"

Zhong Yun said with a straight face, "Didn't I tell you to call me if I'm not here? Why didn't you call?"

The light in Ruan Xi's eyes dimmed, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhong Yun couldn't help but frown.

I guess there was something wrong with her parents' way of education in the past, as they turned her into this kind of person.

At her age, she is rebellious. When criticized by others, her first reaction is not to refute or explain, but to apologize.

This is so abnormal.

Even though his niece Wen Xiaoyue was usually well-behaved, she would get angry if he frowned and scolded her, no matter she was right or wrong.

A normal woman will never admit that she is wrong, with one exception, that is, she says she married the wrong person.

Zhong Yun said, "It's okay as long as you know you were wrong. Remember to correct it next time. Let's go."

"Ah."

Seeing her nodding obediently, Zhong Yun felt that it would take some time to get her over with.

There is a long way to go.

……

After returning from the lottery store, Zhong Yun received a call from Su Wan, reminding him not to forget the date tonight. He naturally agreed.

Su Wan also had good intentions and wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend.

However, in today's society, among the women who stay in big cities, who would be interested in a driver who has no car or house, earns 10,000 yuan a month, and has no future in sight?

She was somewhat wishful thinking.

Of course, Su Wan also told him to find a way to improve his academic qualifications and get a college diploma. She could then arrange for him to join the company, and as long as he made some achievements in the future, promotion would not be a problem.

The problem is, he doesn't have time.

His family still owes millions of foreign debts, and they rely on him to pay it back. He has to pay back at least 15,000 every month, so he spends almost all of his spare time writing. Without this income, how can he pay off the debt?
He has no time to improve his academic qualifications.

Fortunately, he now has a system.

Zhong Yun felt that it was all the bad luck he had in the previous 29 years that resulted in this opportunity to change his fate.

With the system, he might be able to pay off his family’s debt a few years earlier.

Before this, he had no intention of falling in love.

However, you still have to go.

I must go and meet the person introduced by my boss.

After Zhong Yun hung up the phone, he turned on his computer and started typing.

……

It was almost evening and Zhong Yun had just finished typing and posted it when Gao Yutao called him.

He picked up the phone and said, "If you want to ask me out for a drink, don't ask. I said I've quit."

Gao Yutao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's Tongtong. She wants to apologize to you in person for her attitude towards you that day."

"No, I have something to do tonight. That's all."

He said this and hung up the phone.

……

On the other side, in a high-end restaurant, Gao Yutao shrugged at Zhu Tongtong, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Zhu Tongtong and Xu Mingyue were sitting opposite him.

Zhu Tongtong said angrily, "Why is he like this? He is so petty."

"Mingyue was just confused at the time and was deceived by the student's sweet talk. They just held hands once, and Mingyue never went out with him afterwards. Why didn't he listen to the explanation?"

Xu Mingyue standing aside looked gloomy.

Gao Yutao felt that their attitude was a bit strange. Could it be that Xu Mingyue really still had feelings for Zhong Yun?

He advised, "It's been so long, let it go."

Zhu Tongtong said excitedly, "How can we just let it go like this? If this matter is not explained clearly, others will think that Mingyue cheated on me back then. How can I hold my head up in front of my classmates in the future?"

Gao Yutao was a little speechless. Just for this?
Zhu Tongtong added, "Do you know why he dropped out of school? He didn't study a top-notch major at a 211 university, but opened a supermarket. This is totally unacceptable."

Xu Mingyue on the side was also looking at Gao Yutao. Obviously, she didn't know the reason either.
