Going to the cafeteria for lunch break, Chi Le finally got his favorite braised short ribs and smiled contentedly. The aunt in the cafeteria saw his cute smile, and when the spoon tilted, an extra spare rib was dropped. The smile on Chi Le’s face instantly got bigger, and thanked Auntie sweetly.

He came to the table with the platter and suddenly remembered that he wanted to ask Sheng Zhuo some questions about playing basketball, so he twisted his head to look for him, and when he saw that Sheng Zhuo was sitting in front of him on the left side, he directly carried his platter and walked over, and sat down opposite to Sheng Zhuo.

The students around were shocked, and even students from other classes looked at them one after another. They didn’t understand what these two bosses had gone through to suddenly change so quickly, and they were able to sit and eat together.

Sheng Zhuo raised his head and glanced at Chi Le, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth, “Are you here to send warmth again?”

Chi Le smiled sharply, “I have a question to ask you.”

Jian Cheng sat down with Chi Le, rolled his eyes silently beside him, and lowered his head to eat.

Sheng Zhuo glanced at Jian Cheng and asked Chi Le, “What questions do you want to ask me?”

Chi Le picked up a rib and put it on his platter flatteringly, “I have a few questions about basketball that I want to ask you.”

Chi Le didn’t think he was a person who overlooks injustice, so after picking up a piece of ribs for his wife, he also took another piece for Jian Cheng, thinking of Jian Cheng’s hard work recently, so he placed another piece for Jian Cheng.

Jian Cheng was so moved that he almost hugged him and called him Dad.

Chi Le was enjoying himself, and when he raised his head, he was met with Sheng Zhuo’s sinking gaze. Sheng Zhuo stared at the spare rib on Jian Cheng’s dinner plate and looked at Chi Le full of resentment.

Chi Le: “..”

With shaking hands, he picked up another rib and carefully placed it on the platter.

Although Sheng Zhuo was not very satisfied with the fact that he had as much food as Jian Cheng, he finally stopped staring at him.

Chi Le stared at the empty platter, wanting to cry, he only had five ribs, and now only one was left!

Fang Younian came back with the platter, saw Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo sitting together, slipped his hand and almost spilled the platter in his hand, but fortunately, Chen Yunzhou next to him was quick to dodge in time and even helped him up in that a moment, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lunch to eat today.

He walked over with a serious face, Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo were talking with gusto, but no one noticed him.

He put down the plate in his hand heavily, trying to get their attention, then turned around and asked Sheng Zhuo, “You’re okay with him sitting here?”

Sheng Zhuo let out an ‘mmm’, and then continued to explain to Chi Le, but Chi Le just ignored Fang Younian’s existence and didn’t even look at him.

Sheng Zhuo had a normal face, Fang Younian could only swallow what he wanted to ask and sat down to eat his own meal.

Chen Yunzhou watched happily from the side, and almost spit out his rice from laughing, Jian Cheng moved aside in disgust.

Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le were still talking to themselves, turning a blind eye to everyone’s surprised eyes and the cold atmosphere around them, and continued to chat.

Chi Le cherished the only piece of ribs left and said seriously: “I think there is something wrong with the way I take off, and my jumps are always not as high as yours.”

Sheng Zhuo raised his eyes, “Is it possible that your legs are not as long as mine?”

Chi Le choked for a moment, if the other party wasn’t his future wife, he would have thrown his chopsticks and left, okay?

“What about shooting the ball? I always feel that the ball is not working once it reaches my hands. Do you have any secrets?”

“Practice more and find the touch. I will train you for an hour tonight, and you will only practice shooting the ball.”

Chi Le nodded, “Okay, you teach me how to shoot first, and after you leave, I’ll practice shooting the ball by myself, so as not to waste your time.”

He always kept in mind not to delay Sheng Zhuo’s review for the test and tried to take up as little of Sheng Zhuo’s time as possible.

“Oh, I forgot to mention it last night.” Sheng Zhuo curled up his lips and smiled slowly: “Actually, I never review before the exam.”

Chi Le: “..” Dare he worry for nothing?

Fang Younian listened for a long time before he understood that it was Sheng Zhuo who was teaching Chi Le how to play basketball. He looked at Chi Le, then at Sheng Zhuo, and put down his chopsticks with a bang.

“Brother Zhuo, he made a bet with me, and you teach him how to play basketball?”

Sheng Zhuo turned his head to look at him unhurriedly, “Is there any problem?”

Fang Younian pointed at himself and complained: “If he wins, won’t I lose?”

Sheng Zhuo put the fried chicken wings from his plate into Chi Le’s plate, and said lightly, “If you are afraid of losing, just practice harder, what does it matter to us?”

Fang Younian: “..” How could it be you?

Jian Cheng was biting the ribs beside him, and looked at Fang Younian triumphantly, “A few days ago, didn’t you feel confident that you could win? Why don’t you feel confident today?”

Fang Younian scolded inwardly, would it be the same if there was Shengzhuoism or if there was no Shengzhuoism?

He glared at Jian Cheng, and asked Sheng Zhuo unwillingly: “Aren’t you bitter rivals?”

Sheng Zhuo looked at Chi Le, “Are we rivals?”

Chi Le gnawed on the fried chicken wings with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He did regard Sheng Zhuo as his bitter rival before, but his mentality is completely different now.

During this period of time, he couldn’t bear to see his future wife ‘suffer’, so in order to take care of his future wife in advance, he took the initiative a little bit, but Sheng Zhuo didn’t show obvious resistance, which shows that Sheng Zhuo didn’t hate him too much, so things done before are naturally written off.

Chi Le smiled happily, met Shang Sheng Zhuo’s eyes, and shook his head without hesitation, “Who says we are rivals, we are clearly the friendly front and back deskmates!”

“Hear that?” The grin widened on Sheng Zhou’s lips as he flexed his fingers and tapped in front of Fang Younian, “We’re on good terms, don’t listen to nonsense other people say.”

Chi Le nodded repeatedly beside him, “People with a good temper like us won’t be bitter rivals.”

“???”

Fang Younian looked at the two people who were talking nonsense with their eyes open and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He didn’t bother to talk to them, turned his back to them and went to eat.

After the lunch break, Sheng Zhuo was called to the office. The teacher gave him a set of math papers for the third year of senior high school and asked him to try to do it. When he came out, he met Zhuang Xinchun at the corner.

“Long time no see.” Zhuang Xinchun raised an innocent smile, looking gentle and pleasant, “I wanted to go to your class to find you, but I didn’t expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. We are really destined.”

In fact, he had been waiting here for a while. Ever since he saw Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le sitting together eating at noon, his heart could not be calm for a long time, so he couldn’t wait any longer and came over with a gift.

Sheng Zhuo nodded coldly, obviously not intending to exchange pleasantries.

Zhuang Xinchun got used to his indifferent attitude, and quickly handed over the gift in his hands, “Sheng Zhuo, I brought you a gift from Wucheng this time. It’s a picture book. Do you like it?”

Sheng Zhuo glanced down, but did not accept Zhuang Xinchun’s gift, “No, I already have this album.”

Zhuang Xinchun lowered his arms in disappointment, continued to find topics and continued, “I’m confused. Your mother is a painter. You must have seen all kinds of albums. It’s all because I don’t know how to choose gifts. Just because this album looks good, I thought you’d like it.”

Zhuang Xinchun wore a distressed expression, with a slight frown between his eyebrows and his eyelashes drooping lightly. He appeared extremely pitiful. If it were someone else, they would have felt pity and taken the picture book, unable to resist offering a few words of concern. However, Sheng Zuo showed no consolation. He simply glanced at Zhuang Xinchun indifferently, with no ripples in his eyes, and lifted his foot to walk straight past him.

Zhuang Xinchun clenched his teeth and blocked his path, speaking softly, “Sheng Zhuo, I saw you eating with Chi Le just now. I thought you two had a bad relationship?”

Sheng Zhuo’s expression showed a bit of impatience, and his voice was low, “I don’t need to tell you about my relationship with him.”

Zhuang Xinchun could hear the protection in his voice, and tightly clenched his palms with his fingers in his pockets, but tried to smile on his face, showing a pure and harmless look, and said timidly: “If it was someone else, I would definitely not say much, but that person is Chi Le.. I have to say a few more words. I have known him since I was a child. No one in this school knows him better than me. He is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Sheng Zhuo, listen to my advice and stay away from him, it’s for your own good.”

Sheng Zhuo looked down at him expressionlessly, and said with the corner of his mouth, “What about you? Are you as simple as it seems on the surface?”

“I..Of course I am.” Zhuang Xinchun’s complexion changed, and he asked in a vigilant voice: “Did Chi Le say something about me in front of you? Don’t believe what he said! He liked to bully others since he was a child. Not only did he like to bully me, but he also liked to slander me and often speak ill of me behind my back.”

Sheng Zhuo’s smile was ambiguous, and his lowered voice seemed somewhat indifferent. He asked, “What do you think he would say about you?”

“Of course, it’s to say bad things about me, to lie to you by making up some stories that never happened, to say that I hurt him on purpose.. Anyway, just don’t believe what he says.” Zhuang Xinchun’s voice broke off, showing grievance “He has been jealous of me since he was a child, and he always cares about my every move. He sees who I have a good relationship with, and sows discord behind my back, sees what I like, and he insists on snatching it away. He just can’t see that I’m good, he’s restless, and he purposely says bad things about me in front of you guys.”

Sheng Zhuo’s eyes were slightly cold, and his eyes darkened when he looked at him, and he said suddenly: “You think too much, he never mentioned you.”

Zhuang Xinchun’s voice choked, and his whole body froze.

“If you didn’t tell me, I won’t even know you knew each other. Rather than saying that he cares about you, it’s better to say that you care about him.” Sheng Zhuo’s voice was cold, and he walked past him without hesitation.

“Sheng Zhuo, haven’t you ever wondered why Chi Le changed his attitude towards you and suddenly treats you so nicely?” Zhuang Xinchun grabbed Sheng Zhuo’s wrist, his eyes reddened with jealousy, “He must have a plan, I know him best, maybe he is betting with someone, deliberately trying to trick you! You must not be fooled by him!”

With a delicate expression, Sheng Zhuo shook off his wrist coldly, “Zhuang Xinchun, you don’t need to bring me a present when you come back next time- since I won’t accept it.”

“..What?” Zhuang Xinchun was stunned for a moment.

“There is one thing you might be wrong about.” Sheng Yan lowered his face and looked down at him, “You are just Fang Younian’s friend, not mine, and our relationship isn’t close enough for me to allow you to badmouth my front deskmate.”

Zhuang Xinchun’s expression turned extremely ugly for a moment, and he almost couldn’t control his expression.

Seeing Zhuang Xinchun’s ferocious expression, Sheng Zhuo remembered that Fang Younian always said that Zhuang Xinchun was pure like a little white rabbit, so he couldn’t help laughing, and walked away.

When Sheng Zhuo walked around the corner, he saw Chi Le, whom Zhuang Xinchun called ‘bully’, walking towards him, and handing him a carton of milk with red ears.

“Drink it while it’s hot.” Chi Le dropped this sentence and ran away. Although he was used to delivering milk to Sheng Zhuo, he still felt embarrassed every time.

Sheng Zhuo felt that he was just like a little rabbit, a little rabbit that ran extremely fast.

Sheng Zhuo took the milk in his hand and tossed it around for a bit, the milk was still warm, he couldn’t help smiling, and followed Chi Le slowly to the classroom.
