Xu Zifan spent a week sorting out the review materials of all subjects in junior high school, which was much more detailed than the kind of notes he lent his classmates to print. After all, he set his mind on selling it. This time he didn’t sell it privately, but through Father Ji, who found a connection, got the official publication batch number, and printed it in large quantities.
He taught Ji Yaru to open a Taobao store, because he was usually very busy with his studies. Ji Yaru was responsible for the Taobao shop, and the money they earned was divided equally. Ji Yaru had a good command of knowledge. She doesn’t need to study except in class. She had a lot of free time. She used to learn how to run a company from the Yan’s, but now she had no money but plenty of time to do anything. So, she just ran the Taobao store as a company. From all aspects of procurement, promotion and publicity; They also used their faces to advertise, which was perfect.
After the name of the Taobao store was listed in the live broadcast profile, business was booming. The high school students all knew about their money-making business, and many asked when Xu Zifan would come out the materials for high school. What they wanted was not the same materials as Xu Zifan’s learning progress, but the key summary of the whole high school knowledge. If they could have it, they could become study gods, who didn’t want these materials?
But Xu Zifan didn’t let up at all. He said that his mid-term exam would be coming soon. He didn’t have time to wait and learn all about it. May people were so anxious that they hated, but who could help them? So, they had to wait anxiously, hoping that he could learn faster. However, seeing him drink water with his eyes fixed on the book, there was no reason to urge him, only admiration was left.
Xu Zifan’s high-intensity study was not all about wanting to go to Class one to accompany Ji Yaru. He wanted to go to Class one as soon as possible. He is just this kind of person, he had to do his best in anything he did, just like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He didn’t want to be a slag, he wanted to go to the best class as soon as possible. Since there was less than one year left in this school, he would leave a thick mark in this school, which made him feel that reading wasn’t useless.
Another month passed, even Mother and Father Xu wanted to tell Xu Zifan that he didn’t have to try so hard. They were worried about their son’s state, no matter how they wanted him to study well. Then Xu Zifan finally announced that he had finished all the physics and chemistry subjects in high school!
He had most of the Biology knowledge memorized, he learned it very easily. Physics was a little more difficult for him, but it was still interesting to him after learning it. So, the speed of his learning was also much more enjoyable. He only didn’t like Chemistry that much. In fact, after memorizing a lot of knowledge, it wasn’t very difficult. He studied every day, and finally finished the examination range for these three subjects.
The mid-term exam came on time, this time Xu Zifan got 145 score in Math, 140 in Chinese, 150 in English, 86 in Physics, 75 in chemistry and 96 in Biology, 692 in total, which also got him in the top 30 ranks in Class one! The Head Teacher asked Xu Zifan what class he decided on. Xu Zifan spoke without hesitation, he wanted to go to Class one. On that day, he took his desk to Class one, and the head teacher of Class one was very happy to introduce him to his classmates.
“We all know Xu Zifan, right? He has raised his score by more than 100 points this time, which shows that his learning method is worth learning and his perseverance is admirable. Now he has become a member of our class. I hope you can help him integrate into our class as soon as possible, make progress together and get better results, Okay?”
“Okay!” The students laughed and shouted, clapping warmly.
Xu Zifan had already told the Head Teacher about his relationship with Ji Yaru, Yan Yuxin and Li Xudong before coming. The Head Teacher didn’t like Yan Yuxin and Li Xudong very much and arranged him to sit directly beside Ji Yaru. In any case, Ji Yaru’s performance was stable, so big changes wouldn’t affect her. It was the best thing if she could help Xu Zifan’s integration into the class.
In fact, Xu Zifan didn’t need help. He had finished what he should learn, and the rest would be consolidated normally. He doesn’t need to spend so much time studying at all, so he would ask several boys in class to play ball once in a while. Before, he used to play with Meng Qi, now he is very familiar with him. The relationship between the boys were close after playing a couple of rounds. When the Head Teacher observed for a few days, he found that Zifan had become one with his classmates.
People like to be friends with optimistic, clever and progressive people, and Xi Zifan was also very smooth. It’s easy to coax a group of teenagers to have fun, which made it unbearable for Li Xudong. Students weren’t so keen on the rich second generation. They liked the student who was a study god better. Now Xu Zifan overshadowed him as soon as he came. He not only studied well, but also looks handsomer than him. Yan Yuxin still talks in his ear about how this guy used to be. Obviously, he was not so powerful, which made him angry. What’s the matter with his woman, always looking at other men? Her childhood sweetheart and former fiancé should simply exist in her black history!
Li Xudong stared at Xu Zifan gloomily. Within a few days, Xu Zifan had a dozen gangsters that came to teach him a lesson after school one weekend.
Xu Zifan and Ji Yaru left school on their bikes, and talked about the live broadcast things they should do. They were on duty that day and came out late. There weren’t many students on the road. Riding near an alley, a dozen people rushed out of it, catching them so suddenly.
Xu Zifan’s expression turned cold. He grabbed Ji Yaru’s hand and took her into his arms. They pushed the two of them into the alley. He guarded Ji Yaru and pushed several people to lean against the inside corner of the walls. Only then did he pull Ji Yaru behind him and look at them coldly. “Who told you to come?”
The leader with yellow hair tapped his feet and folded his arms: “Don’t you know who you offended? There’s no need for nonsense man… Today, I’m here to teach you a lesson!”
Xu Zifan turned sideways, his fingers moved, and Ji Yaru saw his hint and quietly took out her mobile phone behind him and dialed 110. Xu Zifan spoke again: “You dozen people are really daring. This is the outside of First Middle School. It’s only two blocks away from First Middle School’s gates. Do you think this alley so hidden that no one would see it?”
(TNote: 110 is the 911 of China.)
The gangsters roared with laughter, ” even if someone outside had seen it, can they manage it? A good student is really good student, too naïve… I heard that this brat is very imposing in school. If I break your right hand, would you still be so proud? Guys, go!”
Xu Zifan took out his keys and puts them between his fingers when they rushed over. He hit the nearest gangster in the eye and kicks him below the belt while the guy was howling. First one down. He didn’t take a look at it. His fists hit the second one’s ears from both sides at the same time. The second one was dizzy, then Xu Zifan lowered his head and hit the guy’s knee, hard. The second one also fell with his head on the ground. The people behind him all sneered but didn’t dare to belittle the kid.
They were gangsters, but Xu Zifan used to be a gangster in the slums. He was trained from childhood. He knew exactly how to beat people and how to beat them to death. Especially when he fought, his face was expressionless and his eyes were fierce. He was as fierce as a hungry wolf. Everyone was numb!
One by one, swollen eyes, sprained foot, dislocated arms, hammered on the throat… After that, yellow hair was so scared, he ran away. But, Xu Zifan grabbed him and kicked his knees. It hurts so much that his tears came out!
Ji Yaru looked at Xu Zifan who stood in front of her all that time, and Zifan kept her firmly behind him, one of the strings in her heart touched her gently. Her heart was beating fast, her mind was blank, and the excitement was so strange that she could only stare at Xu Zifan.
Sirens could be heard. Soon two police cars stopped at the entrance of the ally. Six policemen ran in and saw the wailing and begging gangsters. They were stunned. Xu Zifan relaxed and returned to normal, shrugged at them and said: “We just called the police, but there are so many of them. I could only defend myself. It’s not just me. I want to make sure they didn’t harm my friend.”
A few people’s eyes moved to Ji Yaru. Did they touch her? They didn’t touch her. This boy was really good. A policeman coughed twice and said: “All of you should go back to the police station with us to take statements. We need to investigate this matter. You should cooperate and call your parents.”
Xu Zifan nodded, walked back to Ji Yaru, and looked down to her, “what’s the matter? Were you scared?”
Ji Yaru took a deep breath and shook her head. “I’m ok.”
“Let’s go to the police station and go home later.”
“Okay.”
After that Ji Yaru followed Xu Zifan, looking at his broad and strong back, she suddenly felt a great sense of security. It seems that since her birthday party, he has always been by her side. Like the sunshine jar he sent her, she found a ray of sunshine in the dark. He made money with her to solve her dilemma. He helped adjust the atmosphere to make her harmonious with her family. He also patiently taught her to ride a bicycle, and stood in front of her to isolate her from danger.
Ji Yaru doesn’t know why she suddenly thought of these things. She felt her heart was sour and swollen, and a little joy was gushing out. She thought she might be too scared. She had to go home and have a good sleep. But she looked down and saw Xu Zifan’s hand. All the feelings disappeared in a flash. She stepped forward to take up his hand: “You are injured! Let’s go to the hospital first!”
Xu Zifan hit people with his keys and hurt his own hand. In fact, there were several bruises. Xu Zifan said it was unimportant. He didn’t frown when his ribs were broken before, so he clenched his fist and spoke with a smile: “It’s Okay. I’ll wipe some medicine at home in the next two days.”
“No way, go to the hospital now to sterilize and apply medicine, and see if your bones are injured. They said that they want to break your right hand just now, we have to check it carefully.” After Ji Yaru finished saying that, she took his wrist to the police and insisted on seeing to the injury before making a statement.
Xu Zifan was stunned and whispered: “It’s just skin injury.”
Ji Yaru glared at him, “skin injury is also an injury.”
Xu Zifan looked down at her hand holding his wrist. It’s thin, white and tender, but it’s very powerful. Maybe it’s a little cold, but somehow it makes him feel a little warm. He has fought countless times, and no one had ever worried about him, or cared about him because of little injuries like these. Although he had already passed the age that needed people to take care of him, he had to admit that it felt good.
He picked up his eyebrows and looked at Ji Yaru. He raised his lips and whispered, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Ji Yaru didn’t know why she suddenly blushed. She forced herself not to open her eyes. She felt that his smile was too evil. Although she didn’t know what was evil about it, it’s probably… Not so serious…
