She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 22 Xu Suiyou Never Lies

It takes an hour and a half to get there by bus, but only 40 minutes by taxi.

However, Chen Shen did not waste these 40 minutes. He slept soundly in the passenger seat and did not even wake up when Zhang Yan and Qin Yu got off the car.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master. Slow down."

"okay."

Closing the passenger door casually, Chen Shen slung his bag over one shoulder, stretched out his arms and stretched lazily.

Xu Suiyou, who got off the car at the same time, stepped forward and lifted Chen Shen's schoolbag from behind.

"You still have sweet and sour pork in your bag, you're not afraid of spilling it, right?"

"Almost forgot."

Chen Shen quickly put on his bag, then followed Xu Suiyou and walked towards home.

“It feels like going to the library isn’t very efficient.”

After today's experience, he really didn't think there was anything special about studying in the library. If he had to say something, his position was quite suitable for taking a nap in the afternoon when the sun was shining.

"Isn't it enough to earn 80?"

"Is it possible that I could have earned 150 today?" Chen Shen secretly nodded at Xu Suiyou.

"How about we split the taxi fare?"

Very good, Mr. Xu suffocated him with just one sentence.

There is no way. The method to make money is in someone else's hands. If it weren't for Xu Suiyou, would my mother have given me 200 today?

20!

However, this kind of depression came and went quickly. As a high school student, Chen Shen had no other expenses except food and drink.

He has not seen the colorful world outside yet. Even if you give him 1000 or 2000 now, he may not know how to spend it.

"Are you still going to study tonight?" Xu Suiyou slowed down his pace and asked casually.

"Yes."

Chen Shen also slowed down his pace. It was Saturday and the neighborhood was full of children running around happily.

From the east gate of the community to the downstairs of my home, the laughter and chattering around me never stopped.

Chen Shen looked at the carefree children and couldn't help but mutter, "Sui Sui, if I had studied hard since junior high school or elementary school, I wouldn't have to leave it to fate to get into a second-tier university, right?"

His family conditions were not as good as Xu Suiyou's, otherwise Wu Yun would not have stopped disciplining him and gone out to work to make a living when he was in the third grade of elementary school.

But he knew clearly that his poor grades had nothing to do with his mother's letting go of him at that time. It was obviously he who could not resist the temptation at that time and plunged into the colorful world of the Internet.

Now, every time he vaguely hears his mother's self-blaming sigh, he feels filled with guilt.

There is not only a gap between third-tier and second-tier universities in terms of scores, but also a huge difference in annual tuition fees.

He knew that the annual tuition for a second-tier university was only a few thousand yuan, but if he switched to a private third-tier university, the annual tuition alone would start at ten thousand yuan.

After four years, the total cost is 40,000, not including accommodation and miscellaneous living expenses every month.

In the past two years, my parents have been under more pressure than before. If he can get into a second-tier university,
"Snapped!"

"Don't think too much!"

The sound of a small hand slapping his back made Chen Shen grimace. He understood that this was Xu Suiyou's way of stopping him from thinking too much, but wasn't the man's hand using too much strength?

The kids who were playing with sand in the dunes over there looked over here in horror!

"You almost slapped me on the back and I almost passed out."

Xu Suiyou felt a little guilty and rubbed the place where Chen Shen was hit by her, then lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip.

In fact, she was the one who felt more guilty. Fearing that her words and actions would change the known future, Xu Suiyou gave up the possibility of helping Chen Shen since childhood.

Everything developed slowly according to the original trajectory, and she was able to smoothly invest in the college student named Liu in the name of her father in 2011.

If everything in the future really develops as she remembers, this investment alone will allow her and Chen Shen to achieve financial freedom in the future.

She made long-term plans and knew that everything would develop in a good direction in the future. However, she had to grit her teeth and hold on despite the countless setbacks during this period.

Noticing that the girl behind him had suddenly quieted down, and her movements of rubbing his back became increasingly weaker out of guilt, Chen Shen turned around and looked at his childhood sweetheart.

No matter how perfect Xu Suiyou may be in the eyes of outsiders, to him, Xu Suiyou has always been that hateful girl who has always had a sly smile on her face since she was a child and used various means to take his pocket money away from him.

As the only victim in Xu Suiyou's life in the past 18 years, Chen Shen also knows Xu Suiyou better than anyone else.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't care what happens to me, but I absolutely cannot let it affect your grades!"

"All you have to do is study hard and get into Peking University or Tsinghua University. Then I'll have something to brag about when I get out."

Chen Shen raised his hand and pinched Xu Suiyou's pretty face, which countless boys of the same age dared not look directly at, and stretched her little face with a little force.

Here she is again. Every time she mentions her grades, she shows a guilty expression, as if his poor grades are also related to her.

Whether it was elementary school or junior high school, he had always gone to school in the town, while Xu Suiyou had been going to school in the city since elementary school.

No one can be blamed but Xu Suiyou.

Xu Suiyou opened her beautiful eyes and did not resist, just stared at Chen Shen.

From those bright black eyes, Chen Shen saw, as always, the reflection of a person named Chen Shen that occupied the entire field of vision in the black eyes.

But this time, the sudden emptiness in his heart made him subconsciously frown slightly, and then the feeling of heat surrounding his whole body made him extremely uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath, ignored the strange feelings, and smiled playfully.

"When you become rich, just remember to give me the money you promised me all these years, and I will just lie down and do it."

Hearing this, Xu Suiyou smiled and broke free from Chen Shen's big hand. Then, she put her small hand on her cheek, covering the place that Chen Shen had just pinched.

"Good~"

"Really? I've been counting it. From childhood to adulthood, you've promised me 500 million, right?"

Chen Shen recalled the various promises Xu Suiyou had made for him since he was a child, such as if he helped her mop the floor, she would give him 10,000 yuan when she made money in the future.

Or maybe he would buy her some instant noodles from a grocery store, and he would give her the change, and he would give her a house when she got a job.
He was quite naive at that time and actually believed it all.

Now, he just used it as a joke to tease Xu Suiyou.

You can't really give it to me, right?

"Good~"

The only answer he got was Xu Suiyu's gentle words.

Chen Shen chuckled. Although Xu Suiyou's answer this time was the same as before, Chen Shen decided to keep some evidence today.

He took out his cell phone and used a low-level provocation in a mischievous way.

"I'll start a recording later."

Xu Suiyou put her hands behind her back and did not run. She slightly raised her head and looked at the boy who was more than half a head taller than her.

Until the familiar WeChat interface appeared in front of her. She looked at the background picture of the chat box showing herself and Chen Shen raising their thumbs together, her lips slightly opened.

"All for you~"

And everything about her.
