Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Top Student Vs Slacker Student, the Deepest Level of Disdain
Translator: 549690339
When it comes to the girl he likes, Yu Minglang tends to be a bit slow in perceiving the situation, but he’s pretty sharp with others.
Just by looking at Chen Zilong, he could tell that the boy was unreliable. If he asked him to relay a message, who knew how it would turn out? But if he were to leave a note for Xiao Qian, her family would surely find out.
Chen Zilong had an unreliable look about him. In Yu Minglang’s mind, that’s what a spy in a war should look like.
He kept referring to himself as her ‘former brother-in-law’, but what brother-in-law? They weren’t even married, she was unmarried, unmarried, unmarried!
“I’ll write something, and you help me deliver it.”
Yu Minglang returned to the car, took out pen and paper, and wrote down a string of characters.
After he finished writing, he handed the note, along with a newspaper from the car, to Chen Zilong—it was time to return to work.
Chen Zilong took the note and went into the yard, smirking as he opened it.
“Let’s see what this rich-looking man has written to my sister—I can’t believe this!”
Upon opening it, Chen Zilong’s heart took a staggering blow.
sin2a+cos2a, the square root of 6*8+1, along with a pile of mathematics or chemistry formulas and a bunch of symbols that Chen Zilong, the slacker student, simply could not understand.
This was the deepest form of contempt a high-achieving student could show towards a slacker student!
They’re not afraid of you reading it, because even if you do, you won’t understand.
For the first time, Chen Zilong realized the importance of studying. Who would have thought that high-achieving students had the power to launch group attacks even when passing notes!
He was certain that this rich-looking man had messaged his sister about something, but in the cryptic language of high-achievers!
You will never understand the darkness of the night, just like how a slacker student will never understand the messages passed between high-achievers… When Xiao Qian and Jia Xiufang returned, Jia Xiufang was carrying numerous bags. Xiao Qian felt very sorry for her.
“This is highway robbery, a few bralettes all costing several hundred! Why don’t they just rob me? Qian’er, why did you buy these things for me? Aren’t the three for ten yuan ones I wear from the Night Market just fine?”
Jia Xiufang was dragged by Xiao Qian to the lingerie counter. The Shopping Guide was choosing the most suitable size for her mother, Jia Xiufang. While her mother was trying on clothes inside, she had already paid up front.
She even conspired with the shopping guide to say that once purchased, it couldn’t be returned. Jia Xiufang almost cried when she saw the price.
“The three for ten yuan ones have already caused breast hyperplasia, and you still want to wear them?! Throw them all away once we get home!”
Most diseases related to a woman’s breast are caused by ill-fitting bras. Since she knew her mother only had a minor problem, Xiao Qian naturally wanted to eliminate Jia Xiufang’s bad habits from the root.
Jia Xiufang was always looking for a bargain and liked to buy three for ten yuan undergarments from the Night Market. The fabric was not good, and the size was not appropriate, which not only caused sagging but also impeded blood circulation. This was definitely not a good habit.
“Why is something worn underneath so expensive? Even the clothes I wear outside aren’t this pricy!” Jia Xiufang was now wearing the new undergarments that her daughter had bought for her. They were indeed comfortable and did not constrict her, but they were too expensive.
“For women, what you wear on the outside is for others to see, and what you wear on the inside is for yourself. If you can’t even treat yourself well, who will treat you well?”
Look at Chu Xue, who earned only a few hundred a month but dared to buy such enticing undergarments. In contrast, her mother’s undergarments were shabby and old, to the point that her father wouldn’t even want to touch her. This was the difference between a wife and a mistress.
“You spendthrift, where are you getting this money from?”
“From the bonus for getting into university.” Actually, it’s from her father- “Where’s the money? Hand it all over— Forget it, just keep it and spend wisely.” Jia Xiufang initially wanted her daughter to hand over all the money, just like how New Year’s money needed to be handed over. Parents have been managing their children’s money for many years.
“How come you’re not collecting it?” Xiao Qian asked.
Jia Xiufang lowered her head and revealed a smile that was both happy and a little melancholic.
“You’ve grown up. It’s time to learn to manage your own money.”
It felt like this girl had grown so much overnight and had learned to be considerate.
At home, Playboy Chen Zilong was sitting on the sofa. When he saw that Xiao Qian and Jia Xiufang were back, he lazily greeted them.
“Mom, where did you guys go? I’m starving.”
“I’ve already bought the food. 1’11 go get the plates.” Jia Xiufang headed to the kitchen with the food.
Chen Zilong rummaged through the bags, “Did you buy me anything, sis?”
“Of course not, you already have everything you need.” Xiao Qian had always looked down on her playboy brother.
“Heh heh, if you don’t try to win me over, I won’t tell you that the guy from yesterday came over.”
“What man?” Xiao Qian furrowed her brow.
“The one who put out the fire at our house. He was driving such a cool big car, the wheels were this big—”
Xiao Qian immediately understood.
“He came?”
Damn! She goes shopping with her mother for a few pieces of underwear, and this guy decides to come over, neither early nor late, but right at that time?! Noticing the quick change in Xiao Qian’s face, Chen Zilong didn’t dare to act cheeky any longer and quickly handed the note and newspaper to her.
“Sis, don’t you dare cry. Everything he left for you is right here.”
Chen Zilong gave the note and newspaper to Xiao Qian. Upon seeing them, Xiao Qian suddenly wanted to laugh.
Finally, she understood why Chen Zilong, the playboy, had such a frustrated face. Yu Minglang did a great job this time!
Chen Zilong complained from the side.
“Sis, what does this guy do for a living? Look at these things he wrote, what do they mean?”
The most distant space in the world is not between life and death.
Rather, it’s when you recognize these mathematical formulas but don’t know what they mean.
“Never mind.” Xiao Qian, looking at the pile of symbols, felt her heart lighten. She took the items that Yu Minglang left for her and went upstairs.
Just as she was passing by Jia Xiufang.
“Qian’er, where are you going? It’s time to eat!”
“You guys eat first, I’ll eat later.”
Xiao Qian went back to her room, shut the door, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly began to calculate on the paper.
Some of them were very simple, and she knew the answer as soon as she saw them. For example, for sin*2(a) + cosA2(a), the answer was 1.
Some were complicated, and Xiao Qian had to use a pen to calculate. She finally ended up with a string of numbers.
1,7,105,265,403,509?
What did these mean?
Xiao Qian read it twice and understood.
She opened up the newspaper he had left and began counting the characters one by one.
Meet you the day after tomorrow at night?
The pile of questions that Yu Minglang left behind was very simple for Xiao Qian, but it was tough for the likes of Chen Zilong, the playboy.
Generally speaking, a confident woman like Xiao Qian would never repeat a question she had already completed once, especially if it was this simple.
Yet, this simple task led her to calculate it three times and count it three more. In the end, it still resulted in the same six characters.
Xiao Qian held the note and looked it over several times before gently picking it up and placing it in the little box in her drawer. She even carefully smoothed out the creases on it.
“You’re such a clingy and unshakeable fool. I’m at a loss with you..”
