Chapter 807: Chapter 807: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (33)

"Brother Shen, you got several questions wrong on yesterday’s homework!! What were you thinking about!"

Mu Shen looked at the red crosses on his homework, his brows slightly furrowed.

He knew how to do the problems.

But still...

Why did he write the wrong answers? Mu Shen felt it was all Chuzheng’s fault.

Mu Shen corrected the mistakes and ignored the gossiping trio.

Over the weekend, Mu Shen didn’t go for his tutoring sessions with Gu Yu but stayed at home, trying to find a way to tell Grandma Mu about his relationship.

Grandma Mu’s reaction was a bit odd, beginning with silence, followed by a sigh, and at last, she nodded her head.

With Grandma Mu’s consent, Mu Shen invited Chuzheng over for dinner.

Grandma Mu had met Chuzheng before, but she clearly didn’t remember her.

The process was quite pleasant.

Grandma Mu really was an easy person to talk to.

"Although Grandma agrees to your relationship, you can’t let your academic performance slip," Grandma Mu warned sternly in the end, "If your grades drop, Grandma will be very angry."

"Yes, they won’t," Mu Shen promised.

He glanced at Chuzheng.

He still owed her a significant amount of money, and he needed to study hard to pay her back.

After dinner, Mu Shen worked on his homework while Chuzheng lay on his bed playing with her phone.

"Aren’t you going to do your homework?"

"No need to." Xu Qingzi’s work was very good, she didn’t need to worry about it.

"You..." Mu Shen asked tentatively, "Do you need me to tutor you?"

"No need, just take care of yourself," Chuzheng declined him coldly.

"..."

Mu Shen silently continued working on the problems.

Chuzheng, seeing that it was almost time to leave, rummaged in her pocket and handed him a handful of candy, "I’m going."

"I’ll walk you out."

"No need, Jing Liang is outside."

"I’ll walk you out," Mu Shen insisted.

Chuzheng had no choice but to let him.

Mu Shen walked Chuzheng outside and watched her get in the car and leave.

Looking down at the candy in his hand, he allowed himself a slight smile.

Vrrr-vrrr—

Mu Shen answered the phone while walking back inside.

Nong Ye’s voice came through the phone, "Brother Shen, are you free?"

"No."

"Brother Shen, save me! If you don’t come, we’re going to get beaten to death."

"I haven’t finished my homework yet."

"... Which is more important, your brother’s life or homework!!" Nong Ye roared, "You can have lots of homework, but you only have a few brothers."

"Brother Shen... I fuck, you guys are crazy!!"

The last remark from Nong Ye was clearly not directed at Mu Shen.

Mu Shen frowned, "Location."

-

Mu Shen kept fighting behind Chuzheng’s back, and she didn’t notice at first, but one time, she saw the bruises on his body.

Mu Shen said it was nothing, but Chuzheng, with a cold expression, made him take her to settle the score with the others.

When Chuzheng got fierce, Mu Shen couldn’t possibly object.

The reputation Mu Shen had outside wasn’t like in school, where he was a good student, a well-behaved kid...

Mu Shen fought ruthlessly.

But what they didn’t expect was the girl Mu Shen brought was truly fierce.

Mu Shen was innocent.

He really didn’t plan to pursue the matter further.

It was Chuzheng who insisted on coming...

Chuzheng was formidable in a fight, something he had already heard about from Geng Hao and the others.

However, this was the first time he witnessed it.

... Kind of cool.

"Mu Shen, are you sick!" the beaten ones supported each other as they ran out, cursing Mu Shen as they passed him.

Fuck.

They agreed that it was already settled.

Why bring someone to beat them up!

"..." Mu Shen watched them, feeling quite innocent.

"Who are you cursing at?"

Several people shuddered and hurried away with their supports.

Mu Shen looked at the girl at the end of the alley.

Chuzheng came over, "Who allowed you to fight?"

A good student should study well.

Is fighting what a good student should do?

Don’t you have the awareness of being a good student?

"If you don’t like it, I won’t fight anymore," Mu Shen promised. "Don’t be angry."

"Why should I be angry? It’s not my body," Chuzheng said indifferently as she walked away.

Mu Shen caught up with her, "I won’t fight anymore, I promise."

Although Mu Shen had made a promise to Chuzheng,

he felt that he couldn’t ignore Geng Hao and the others.

These guys were troublemakers, and yet they couldn’t win fights. Each time, they needed him to finish it.

However, as time passed, Mu Shen realized that the trio, who used to get into fights every three days or big ones every five, hadn’t called for him at all.

"Have you guys not been fighting recently?"

"Brother Shen, we are good students. We should study hard and make progress every day. What’s the point of fighting all the time?"

Geng Hao immediately said.

Cai Hu and Nong Ye, who were playing video games beside, chimed in.

"Good students don’t fight."

"Brother Shen, we have reformed."

Mu Shen: "..."

Mu Shen eyed them suspiciously. Sensing his gaze, all three of them looked at him simultaneously

and nodded earnestly and solemnly.

Mu Shen: "..."

They must be crazy.

Mu Shen returned to his spot.

Cai Hu tapped Nong Ye, "Brother Shen didn’t notice, did he?"

"Hopefully not..." Nong Ye patted his chest.

"We can’t let Brother Shen know that Sister-in-law has been fighting for us; otherwise, we’re toast."

Some time ago, Chuzheng, who had never chatted with them after adding them on WeChat, suddenly reached out to them.

She said they shouldn’t involve Mu Shen in their fights anymore.

To be honest, they were somewhat uncomfortable with that message.

After all, Brother Shen was their Brother Shen.

Even if they were now in a relationship, she shouldn’t interfere in their affairs like that.

But then Chuzheng told them to find her if there were any fights.

Having witnessed Chuzheng fight in that alley, the trio had no doubts about her capabilities.

"I think Sister-in-law is better at fighting than Brother Shen."

"Sister-in-law is so fast; last time I couldn’t even see clearly, in a few swishes... it was done."

"Brother Shen is pretty good too, actually."

-

While Chuzheng’s life was enjoyable, Yan Xiu’s was not going so well.

After the last incident, Yan Xiu broke up with Yan Yan.

But Yan Yan kept hovering around him these days, claiming that man was her brother and that there was nothing between them.

Everyone around Yan Xiu told him that Yan Yan was definitely deceiving him.

However, after pondering for two days, Yan Xiu actually got back together with Yan Yan.

That’s probably true love, right?

Good times never last long, and soon someone sent Yan Xiu some photos.

In the photos, to his dismay, were Yan Yan and a man entering and leaving a hotel.

Even if Yan Xiu liked Yan Yan, being cuckolded like this was intolerable; if he could endure it, he wouldn’t be a man.

"Xiu, what brings you here?"

Yan Yan ran over with a happy expression upon seeing Yan Xiu at the school gate.

Yan Xiu’s face looked rather pale, "I can’t come? Am I interrupting your date with another man?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Yan was dissatisfied. "I’ve explained it to you; why won’t you believe me?"

"How can I believe you?" Yan Xiu’s tone grew worse.

Yan Xiu threw the developed photos at her, "Who are these people?"

The photos scattered on the ground with a rustle.

Some of them were quite explicit; all were taken by someone Yan Xiu had hired. Now spread on the ground, passersby saw them and gasped.

Shocked by the photos, Yan Yan hurriedly started picking them up.
