After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Looking at the time, Zhouzhou didn't have the luxury to talk to Qin Lie and the others. She merely waved her hand at them and immediately dashed into the school.

The nearby parents saw this and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Wow, whose kid is this? How can she be so carefree, showing up so late? Can she even make it in time? The school is pretty big."

By the time the words were spoken, Zhouzhou's figure had already disappeared from view. The person who spoke froze for a moment.

She's running so fast?

On the plane earlier, Zheng Yu had already checked the route to the examination hall. Zhouzhou took several turns and leaped up two steps at a time. She finally reached the exam hall just in time, within the last minute.

She appeared suddenly, like a gust of wind, startling the teacher. The teacher quickly checked the time and immediately let her in.

If she had been one minute late, it would have been impossible to enter.

Qin Feng and Zhouzhou were in the same examination hall. Upon seeing her, he too let out a sigh of relief.

She made it in time.

They were in the middle of the exam, so it wasn't appropriate to talk. Zhouzhou nodded at him and sat down at her desk, beginning to work on her paper.

The first exam was Chinese, with a long essay section. Zhouzhou spent some time on it, and when there were still forty minutes left before the submission deadline, she finished the rest of the questions. After reviewing everything, she handed in her paper as soon as the bell for early submissions rang.

The invigilator glanced at her, about to say something, but then hesitated and shook her head, letting out a quiet sigh.

She's such a good girl, but why doesn't she take things seriously?

She was already late, and now she submitted her paper early. It was irresponsible.

However, when her eyes landed on Zhouzhou's composition, her expression froze, and she couldn't help but look again.

The perspective, the writing style...

It was magnificent!

She glanced at the name and suddenly understood.

It was that top scorer from the middle school entrance exam, the one who often topped all the standardized tests.

So it's her!

In that moment, the teacher completely forgot her initial impressions of Zhouzhou.

If Zhouzhou were a bad student, who else could be a top student?

Zhouzhou had no idea what the teacher was thinking. After handing in her paper, she walked out, her eyes heavy with sleep.

When Qin Lie and the others saw her, they didn't ask about her early submission. They knew that she must have been confident in her work, and when it came to studying, Zhouzhou never caused them any worry.

Seeing how tired she was, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Qin Lie gently patted her head, and Grandma Qin quickly said, "Let's go to the hotel and rest for a bit."

Zhouzhou nodded, yawning continuously.

She hadn't had a proper sleep for several days due to her missions. On the way back, she had also worked on a set of practice papers. She barely made it through the papers, but by now, exhaustion had overwhelmed her.

Once they arrived at the hotel, she collapsed into bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

Grandma Qin had planned to ask her where she had been, but now she just couldn't bear to disturb her.

Her little granddaughter was growing up, and she was getting busier by the day.

Grandma Qin sighed deeply, feeling a sense of loss at how quickly her child was maturing.

Grandpa Qin patted her shoulder comfortingly and pointed outside. The two of them quietly left the room.

When Zhouzhou woke up, it was already nearing one o'clock in the afternoon.

She got up, had some food, and rested for a bit before preparing to head to the exam hall again.

This time, she had more than enough time and wasn't in a rush.

"Chubby Girl!" Huo Ji'an squeezed through the crowd and poked her arm. "I heard you were late for the exam this morning? Where were you? I haven't seen you for a few days."@@novelbin@@

Huo Ji'an too, had grown into a teenager, much healthier than before. His hand was casually placed on Zhouzhou's shoulder as he looked at her curiously, with a hint of grievance in his eyes.

"Chubby Girl, you're spending less and less time with me!" he said, clearly unhappy.

They had always been in the same class, but now it was hard to find her during breaks.

Even when he tried to arrange a meal with her, she was nowhere to be found.

He had no idea what she had been busy with.

Naturally, she couldn't talk about her missions and the Fourth Bureau, so Zhouzhou just smiled awkwardly and said, "I went out to relax, but the plane was delayed, so I came back late."

"Really?" Huo Ji'an asked suspiciously.

"Really!" Zhouzhou nodded firmly.

Huo Ji'an didn't think too much about it and smiled at her. "Well, when the holidays come, let's go on a graduation trip!"

The vacation was long, so they had to make good use of it.

Zhouzhou's gaze wandered off for a moment, and she replied, "I can't confirm my schedule right now. I'll let you know later."

At the moment, Zhao Xinghua was pushing for more tasks to be assigned to her, so compared to the past, her holidays were now the busiest time of the year.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji'an's gaze became even more resentful. "Chubby Girl, tell me honestly, have you met someone else? Every holiday, I can't find you anywhere. Are you spending time with other friends?"

He stared at her, looking like he was ready to punch her if she admitted it.

Though he knew he couldn't beat her, he was still really angry!

Zhouzhou twitched her mouth, poking him with her elbow. "What are you thinking?"

Huo Ji'an immediately clutched his stomach dramatically, his eyes wide as he looked at her. "See, see! You really did! And now you're hitting me!"

She hadn't even put any force into it.

Zhouzhou was speechless and grabbed his neck. Huo Ji'an exaggeratedly stuck his tongue out, playing along.

Qin Lie watched this exchange with narrowed eyes.

He hadn't expected their relationship to remain so close from childhood to adulthood.

They'd never even had a fight.

Grandma Qin, who had always found Huo Ji'an likable, smiled and said, "Oh, Ji'an's grown up to be quite handsome, and his relationship with Zhouzhou is so good. He's a good kid, very nice."

"Where's it nice?" The faces of the men from Qin family instantly darkened.

Qin Ren adjusted his glasses and watched Zhouzhou and Huo Ji'an laughing and playing as they walked.

After a few seconds, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "Zhouzhou."

Hearing his voice, Zhouzhou turned her head to look at him, her gaze questioning.

"What's up?"

Qin Ren said casually, "I've been working on a new drug recently, but something feels off. Can you help me analyze it tonight?"

Zhouzhou didn't think twice. "Sure, sure."

"What kind of drug?"

Qin Ren explained.

Huo Ji'an, who was standing nearby, noticed the sharp gaze of several of the Qin family members. He was immediately confused.

Why were they looking at him with such intense stares?

He didn't do anything wrong!

Why were they giving him that kind of look?

As he pondered this, a sudden thought popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Could it be that they thought he had some romantic interest in Chubby Girl?

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare!

Over the years, how many people have confessed to Chubby Girl? And which one of them didn't end up in the hospital before they could even hand over the love letters?

Chubby Girl remembered everything they said.

If you want to get rich, stay away from men.

Being close to men only brings financial ruin.

How could Chubby Girl forget something related to money?

He only regarded Chubby Girl as a friend.

But these people, they were all such jealous fools!

If this kept going on, Chubby Girl would be single forever!
