Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 836 - 345: Past and Present, Lost and Gained (7,000 words)

"What are you guys talking about?"

Lu Wanting was utterly confused by the odd conversation between Zhou Yuwen and Liu Yilin. How did they suddenly make Zhou Yuwen out to be some kind of gang leader with thousands of followers?

Zhou Yuwen said it was nothing.

"I guess that day, I beat them up too hard, and they thought I was involved in gang activities," Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.

Lu Wanting thought it made some sense but was still puzzled: "How could they think it's thousands of people? It might be believable if it were dozens, but thousands? Is the mainland really that chaotic?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense," Peng Xiaoyong, who seemed somewhat righteous, glanced at Zhou Yuwen and said, "He's probably just boasting about something to them."

"I think the best approach is still to tell your parents and teachers."

Zhou Yuwen listened to this and just smiled without responding as he continued drinking his soup.

Liu Yilin stood obediently beside Zhou Yuwen. Seeing that Zhou Yuwen had almost finished his chicken soup, she offered, "Brother, do you want me to get you another bowl?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "You're so obedient."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen praise her, Liu Yilin blushed slightly, smiling shyly. Meanwhile, Peng Xiaoyong and Lu Wanting were still discussing educational issues, but Zhao Rui had already explained the situation to Liu Yilin.

At the time, Zhao Rui was slapping her own face, regretting and saying, "Yilin, I really regret it. If I had known Zhou Yuwen was your brother, I wouldn't have dared to bully you, even if you'd lent me some courage!"

"You have no idea, back then, so many people were calling your brother 'Boss'!"

"Your brother is really the boss. In front of him, I'm nothing!"

"Yilin, if you ever need anything in the future, just let us handle it. Really, we'd go through fire and water for you!"

Seeing Zhao Rui's determined look, Liu Yilin was bewildered. Liu Yilin was naturally a shy person, and when faced with such an abrupt change, she didn't know what to do. After a while, she finally helped Zhao Rui up and said, "No, please, you don't have to do this."

"As long as you don't disturb my studies, we can still be classmates," Liu Yilin said.

"Then, will you ask your brother to forgive me?" Zhao Rui asked this with a bit of embarrassment, feeling it was a bit much to ask.

But Liu Yilin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him."

With that, Zhao Rui immediately brightened up.

Although Liu Yilin had told Zhao Rui multiple times not to disturb her studies,

Zhao Rui clearly wasn't giving up and was eager to join the Xu Huai Gang, so she tried her best to please Liu Yilin. Later, she called Liu Yilin "Big Sis" and not only bought her milk tea and bread but also fawned over her, suggesting they should treat Zhou Yuwen to a meal.

Obviously, Zhou Yuwen immediately refused this unwelcome request.

Zhou Yuwen advised his cousin not to associate too much with these people.

Her primary task now should be to get into a good university.

"Do you have any preferred universities in mind?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"No..."

"If you don't have one, consider applying to Jinling. I can look after you then."

Liu Yilin nodded with a smile. Actually, last night, she secretly researched which universities were in Jinling and decided to make Jinling University her first choice. Although her grades were a bit lacking, she felt it was still possible with some effort.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yuwen and Liu Yilin hadn't been in touch much since high school, even though they played together when they were younger. The last time they met was at Zhou Yuwen's college entrance banquet.

At that time, Zhou Yuwen had performed poorly in the college entrance exam and ended up attending a second-tier university, and his family was too embarrassed to hold a banquet.

Personally, Zhou Yuwen was also feeling down.

The two hadn't engaged in much conversation back then, and half a year quickly passed without seeing each other, causing their relationship to become somewhat distant.

Who would have thought that at this reunion,

Liu Yilin would see a completely new cousin.

How should I say it? The cousin before her was confident, mature, and exuded an indescribable charisma that was simply very attractive.

None of the boys at school could compare to him.

Most importantly, talking to him just made her feel happy.

Being around her cousin gave her a great sense of security.

Originally, Liu Yilin was a very introverted girl, but today she talked to Zhou Yuwen about many things and bravely expressed herself, sharing her thoughts with him.

Most importantly, Zhou Yuwen really listened and shared his experiences with her.

Like when she said she wanted to attend Jinling University,

But she felt Jinling University was too difficult and wasn't sure if she could get in.

Zhou Yuwen asked her for her current score.

It's challenging but achievable with effort.

After all, there was still a semester left.

Liu Yilin bashfully said, "Then, brother, can you help me with my studies?"

"Uh, you want me to help you study? I'm from a second-tier university. I'd probably only help you get into a second-tier as well."

Liu Yilin couldn't help but laugh at this, saying, "Second-tier is fine too. It'd be great to be in the same school as you!"

Zhou Yuwen said that wouldn't do.

"It's not very useful. Look, with my current major, finding a job is difficult; otherwise, I wouldn't be writing novels myself. If you have the ability, aim for Nanjing University."

"Oh, by the way, I have a classmate at Nanjing University. If you really want someone to help you study, I can ask her to tutor you," Zhou Yuwen suddenly thought of Li Shiqi and said.
