A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 22 Unprecedented

English classes are the third and fourth periods in the afternoon.

As soon as the get out of class was over, the boarding students rushed to the cafeteria to grab their meals, while the day students were busy packing their bags, preparing to go home and enjoy a pleasant nightlife.

Although they did not plan to go back home to read at night, it did not prevent them from carrying a large bag of books back home.

puff……

Li Hai packed his schoolbag, zipped it up, and was about to say hello to Chen Hui and go home, but he saw Chen Hui looking up at him.

"Can you lend me some money?"

Chen Hui knew his time was precious, so he was always straightforward. "I'll pay you back when my scholarship comes out."

Today is Ruirui and Qingshan’s birthday!
He had originally planned to wait until the scholarship came in before buying gifts, but now it seems that it is too late.

"Borrow money?"

Li Hai stared at Chen Hui with wide eyes, feeling that today was too strange. Chen Hui had already done two things that he thought he would never do under normal circumstances.

But he agreed immediately the next moment, "Okay!"

"what's good?"

At this time, Liang Peixuan in the front row also turned around with a smile on his face.

Obviously, he had solved the math problem and was in a very good mood.

Although he asked casually, he didn't really want an answer. Without waiting for Li Hai to speak, he continued, "The scholarships are being distributed today. I'll treat you to dinner!"

Then he looked at Chen Hui and said seriously, "You are not allowed to refuse!"

"Has the scholarship been paid out?"

Chen Hui asked back in surprise.

"I received the text message at noon!" Liang Peixuan took out his mobile phone and opened the bank text message to show Chen Hui.

"Great!"

Chen Hui touched the bank card in his pocket and suddenly felt confident. He didn't have a mobile phone, but since Liang Peixuan's scholarship had arrived, his should have arrived too.

"I definitely won't be able to have your meal today."

Chen Hui said with a rare smile, "But you can come to my house for dinner!"

Today is Ruirui and Qingshan’s birthday. Ruirui likes lively occasions, so she should be very happy if we invite Li Hai and Liang Peixuan.

Not only Liang Peixuan, Chen Hui also turned to look at Li Hai beside him.

"The third one!"

Li Hai stood there in a daze, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Chen Hui's forehead. He felt that Chen Hui must be delirious due to the fever.

"Okay."

Liang Peixuan agreed after hesitating for a moment. If it was any other classmate who invited him, he would have refused without hesitation. He has been obsessed with mathematics recently and has to go back home to study and practice questions at night. How could he have the time to play house with a bunch of high school kids?

But if it was Chen Hui, he felt that he had no reason to refuse.

As far as he knew, this was the first time Chen Hui invited classmates to his home.

"What about you?"

Chen Hui turned and looked at Li Hai.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm definitely going!"

Li Hai shrugged and spread his hands. "It's late at night, it doesn't matter where we go."

"But you have to do me a favor first."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Take me to buy a cake first!"

"Is it your birthday today?"

Li Hai suddenly understood.

"No, today is my brother and sister's birthday!" Chen Hui's face was filled with smiles. This was the first time Li Hai saw such an expression on Chen Hui's face. "You've asked the right person!"

Li Hai smiled triumphantly, "Come on, follow me!"

Chen Hui packed his schoolbag, took his English book, and the three of them walked out of the classroom together. Chen Hui had something to do today, so he had already informed Teacher An in advance and asked for one night off for the training of the Mathematical Competition Team.

After withdrawing all the scholarships from the self-service bank at the school gate, Li Hai took Chen Hui and walked through the commercial street with ease.

"Hui, I suggest you buy a mobile phone. Alipay and WeChat are so convenient nowadays. Few people use cash anymore, and cash is not safe either."

Li Hai's mouth is always chattering. When passing by a mobile phone store, he immediately started to persuade Chen Hui.

"Haizi is right. It's very convenient to have a mobile phone. I can look up a lot of study materials online."

Liang Peixuan agreed, "Besides, buying a second-hand phone now only costs a few hundred yuan, which is very cheap."

A few hundred dollars?
When Chen Hui heard the price, he gave up the idea without hesitation, smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer."

Seeing this, the two of them stopped trying to persuade him.

A few minutes later, led by Li Hai, the three came to a cake shop that was only a dozen square meters in size. Chen Hui had never heard of this brand. Of course, he had heard of very few cake shops.

“This cake shop is pretty good, I’ve been there!”

Li Hai said confidently.

Of course, the main reason why he brought Chen Hui here was because the prices here were very affordable.

"Hello, when can this cake be ready?"

Li Hai walked into the store and went straight to a "Snow Castle" cake and asked the clerk.

"one……"

"No no no..."

Before the clerk could finish his answer, Chen Hui stepped forward and waved his hand, then walked over to two fist-sized cakes nearby. "This is all I want. Please help me get two!"

That ice castle cake is indeed exquisite and beautiful, Ruirui will definitely like it, but the price tag is 148!

If he were richer, he would definitely buy the best for Ruirui without hesitation to make Ruirui happy. He would be willing to spend any amount of money within his means, but now, he would rather use the money to reduce the burden on his uncle and aunt.

The two small cakes cost only more than 30 yuan in total. Ruirui and Qingshan will definitely be very happy to see this. They have only heard their classmates say that they have to eat cake on birthdays before, but they have never eaten something called cake.

"I'm sorry, I really invited you over here to have a meal."

Chen Hui looked at his two good friends and chuckled, implying that there would be no share of the cake for them.

Li Hai also grinned, then turned to look at the clerk, "I want that ice castle cake. Please make it as soon as possible. We will come to pick it up later."

March 16th is not a holiday, and the cake shop's business is average. Li Hai is the only customer during this period, so he naturally has enough time.

"Your sister is my sister. It's my sister's birthday, so as a brother, of course I have to give her a gift!"

Li Hai did not give Chen Hui a chance to refuse. He took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to complete the payment.

Chen Hui hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

If it were in the past, he would definitely stop this from happening because he felt he couldn't afford it.

But it's different now.

But he still looked at the clerk and said, "I don't want those two small ones."

Li Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Hui's face showed a hint of satisfaction, "Let's go, we'll go buy some food later, you two are in luck."

"I'm also going to buy a pair of sneakers, a sweater, gloves, and a massager."

After walking out of the cake shop, Chen Hui explained his needs to Li Hai. He had never been shopping in his life. He could ask passers-by about these things, but it would be better to have an acquaintance lead the way.

Originally, he was planning to buy a mattress for his aunt, but after learning that sleeping on a hard bed is better for back pain, and good mattresses are not cheap, he finally decided to buy a massager to try first.
