Chapter 35 - Youth (1)

Ch.35 Youth (1)

After Young Sha Mate made his speech on how studying was useless, he still felt a bit unsatisfied, so he continued: “Look at all the people who have gotten rich without studying. Unlike money, which can be used to buy whatever you want, studying may not even have any use in the future, so why waste your time on studying?”

Right, since people who don’t study can still become rich, why should people study? It’s because many things could be learned by studying, things that money cannot buy. It is also related to the advancement of the human race. Many researchers still persist in doing their research even when their money is tight. The meaning of life is not entirely to chase after money. Other things are necessary too.

Moreover, many of the people who don’t have academic credit have other unavoidable circumstances that forced them to be that way. They may have silently studied by themselves instead. ‘Youngster, do you really think that life is as you think of it?’

Most importantly! How can you, someone who wastes time everyday in an internet cafe playing games, talk about wasting time!

Is playing games not an even worse way of wasting time?

The key point is that you also suck at playing!’

Ye Xi silently looked at him, and decided to give him the harshest punishment. She had a slightly ugly smile on her face while asking: “Do you still read books?”

“En.” Sha Mate didn’t seem to understand why she was asking that question. His eyes were a bit bewildered.

“Okay, I will wait until you enter in the top ten rankings for your end of the year exam. Only after that will I take you to fly.”

“What joke are you trying to pull?” Sha Mate exclaimed.

The people in the vicinity who heard all laughed.

“That’s how it will be.” Ye Xi did not give him the chance to rebut. She turned around and strode away.

Sha Mate wanted to hold her back, however, he was stopped by a student. “A hard-pressed enemy cannot give chase.”

Ye Xi’s foot staggered a bit. This was obviously a youngster who was playing a game with a historical setting. She kept silent and left without turning her head.

Ye Zi stopped a taxi and look in. She saw that it was the same driver who had slammed the brakes yesterday.

“Such a coincidence.” Ye Xi sat inside and greeted the driver, and then told him the school’s address.

The driver was a chatterbox. Since he was a little familiar with Ye Xi, he let go of himself and unabashedly talked the entire way there. Ye Xi listened to all sorts of strange gossip about the people in the city. She also learned that the driver had two daughters, was remarried, and that his wife was very virtuous.

Actually, the driver was just trying to show off his love, right?

Ye Xi couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed.

Is there anything more excessive that showing off love in front of single dog?

The answer is no.

“….My daughter, she always placed second on test, always making a couple of mistakes that even a preschooler wouldn’t make. Isn’t that strange? My wife also says something about exceeding expectations, and how she is now is just right. Those kinds of cultured people, I really can’t understand them.”

“Uncle, your wife is a person who understands things very clearly.” Ye Xi voiced out a line to compliment. She saw that they had reached the school, so she quickly said: “We have arrived. You can just park by the road here.”

“Oh…” The driver was rather sorry about stopping here.

Ye Xi gave him the money and immediately got out of the car. Without ever turning her head to look back, she walked toward the school gate. Just as she arrived by the gate, the phone in her hand started vibrating. Ye Xi turned it around to take a look and saw that it was Zha Zha calling.

Ye Xi noticed the strong sunshine glowing around her and thought in her heart, ‘Was Zha Zha staying up late?’

Zha Zha’s tone was very stern. It was like the tone of a supervisor who had caught student skipping school: “Play games, play games, all you know is how to play games! You had such a good opportunity to get close to Wei Shenglan, but all you did was eat a bowl of noodles and then leave! Only eating a bowl of noodles! A single man and a single woman! Only ate noodles together!”

Ye Xi interjected: “Enough, the more you talk, the more uncouth you become.”

“Uncouth? How am I uncouth?”

Ye Xi laughed but said nothing.

“Forget it. I want to remind you that the greatest villain is going to appear soon. This time, it won’t be like the small set ups of Ding Xiuxiu. This time, the villain is a true villain, very scary! It’s the legendary white moonlight and childhood friend! You have to know, when stirring things up, no one in the world can beat those two types of people at it!” Zha Zha’s tone contained a hint of wishing to avoid calamity.

Ye Xi faintly replied: “Oh.”

Zha Zha: “…”

“Do you even know what white moonlights and childhood friends are? They are a type of mystical creature. No matter where it is, traces of them can be seen. No matter what kind of circumstance it is, they can always run out and get involved. They are the type of creature that, if you kill ten of, a hundred more will buzz and come out to annoy you!”

Ye Xi: “I know.”

“Eh? You’re not afraid? You’re not worrying? Don’t you feel that it’s dishonest?”

Ye Xi: “I don’t think that.”

Zha Zha felt extremely frustrated and hung up.

When Ye Xi returned to her dorm room, An Mudie was reading a book. Looking at the pink cover, it should be a love story. It was the first time that Ye Xi had seen this kind of thing in this world. She went over and looked, the title of the book was “The Matter of Me and My Mother-In-Law Fighting 300 Rounds”.

Has she lost her mind? This silly story, which was about fighting with a mother-in-law, actually had such a girly cover?

Ye Xi lost interest.
