A life of financial freedom

The night was deep.

Ding-ling-ling... ...

The bell rang, and Zhong Rou immediately rushed out of the classroom, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking back, she saw the teacher at the podium and many classmates staring at her.

"Eh? School's out. Why aren't you guys leaving?" Zhong Rou asked.

The teacher pursed her lips and said softly, "Class dismissed."

Then school was dismissed.

Zhong Rou and Wen Qing walked out of the classroom together. Just as they left the school, they saw Ba Siqi and several girls walking over and surrounding them.

"What's up? Want to fight?" Seeing this, Zhong Rou's pupils were filled with excitement.

Ba Siqi crossed her arms: "Wrong, I'm here to tell you that I will definitely take back what I've lost."

"Tch~~~" Zhong Rou curled her lips. "Do you think I care?"

She really freaking cared!

It must be said that Ba Siqi was indeed a natural-born green tea. Even though Zhong Rou had exposed her green tea side at the time and she had been scolded by many classmates, she quickly used her 'tea art' to save her image and once again become a star in the class.

At that time, Ba Siqi's eyes were filled with tears, crystal clear, and she cried like a pear blossom in the rain. Everyone put aside their prejudices and forgave Ba Siqi.

But only Zhong Rou knew that this woman's tea art was very skilled.

She admitted that this person was formidable.

She then looked at Ba Siqi and asked, "What are you doing surrounding me? If you want to fight, I'll gladly oblige!"

Ba Siqi's voice was filled with得意 (déyì - triumph or smugness): "I want you to admit that you are inferior to me, and then I will no longer be your enemy."

"I refuse." Zhong Rou rolled her eyes.

What a joke!

Ever since Zhong Rou became conscious, she had never thought she was inferior to others. Even if she were to fight against the heavens, she believed she could shatter a few of the Heavenly Lord's teeth.

How could she bow her head to Ba Siqi.

"If you don't bow your head, I will keep targeting you until you do."

Zhong Rou shrugged: "Whatever."

"What are you doing?" Just then, Lu Rixing came over, stood in front of Ba Siqi, and stared at Zhong Rou. "Zhong Rou, I warn you, don't bully your classmates."

Zhong Rou raised her right foot, and Lu Rixing reacted subconsciously, immediately lying on the ground and shouting loudly, "Help, Zhong Rou is killing people."

Everyone cast strange glances, but Zhong Rou said indifferently, "Flying Dance!"

Many classmates surrounded them. Zhong Rou rolled her eyes, put one hand on Ba Siqi's shoulder, and shouted loudly to everyone, "With the Yellow Heaven above and the Thick Earth below, I declare that from today onwards, Ba Siqi is my best bro, Zhong Rou."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere froze. Everyone looked at each other, then retreated three meters in an instant, and the gazes they cast at Ba Siqi were filled with fear and dread.

Oh heavens, Ba Siqi could actually become friends with Zhong Rou. It seemed that Ba Siqi was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Perhaps Ba Siqi was a tsundere girl.

We were deceived by Ba Siqi.

Ba Siqi saw the collapse of her image in everyone's eyes, and her mouth twitched.

She hadn't anticipated this move.

Wen Qing covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhong Rou was a well-known school bully, the school's big sister, a player who walked sideways in the school.

Everyone had a consensus that anyone who could play with Zhong Rou couldn't be anything good.

Even Wen Qing, such a gentle and refined girl, was often regarded as a scourge by many people.

And when everyone heard that Ba Siqi was Zhong Rou's best friend, how could they not be afraid?

This was reputation, this was branding, this was the power of a big IP.

"I don't believe it!" Lu Rixing's voice was shrill.

"Flying Dance!"

Zhong Rou rolled her eyes at the many classmates, then left, leaving behind a group of shocked students.

Ba Siqi wanted to explain, saying, "Everyone, don't worry, it's not... ..."

Before she could finish, the many classmates instantly fled the scene, as if a beast was chasing them.

Ba Siqi: "... ..."

She had ultimately underestimated Zhong Rou's negative image.

Even the few friends she had just made ran away immediately.

Only Lu Rixing was left at the scene. Ba Siqi wanted to pull Lu Rixing up from the ground, but the latter covered his face: "Don't hit me, I won't dare to do it again."

Ba Siqi: "... ..."

The image she had worked so hard to restore... ...collapsed again.

... ...

The streetlights shone on the ground, dispelling the darkness.

Wen Qing looked at Zhong Rou, who touched her face: "Eh? Wen Qing, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Wen Qing said softly, "Rou Rou, you're so gentle."

She suddenly realized that during this time, Ba Siqi had been targeting Zhong Rou, but Zhong Rou had not beaten her up, but had won with various strategies.

"Am I gentle?" Zhong Rou asked.

Wen Qing nodded.

"Ehehe... ..." Zhong Rou scratched the back of her head, smiling shyly, "Actually... ...I'm not that good."

... ...

Just because of the word 'gentle,' Zhong Rou was happy all the way from school to home.

Opening the door and returning home, the house was dark. She turned on the light: "Eh? Where are my sister and brother-in-law? Haven't they come home yet? Could it be that they abandoned me again?"

Chu Fang and the two of them had a bad habit of leaving Zhong Rou behind to travel.

Zhong Rou entered the house and saw a letter on the table, written by Zhong Tingyue: Your sister and I are sick and resting in the bedroom. Take a shower and go to bed yourself when you get home.

"Oh, that's good." Seeing the words, Zhong Rou breathed a sigh of relief.

These two didn't abandon her, otherwise, she would be heartbroken.

"No, now that my sister and brother-in-law are sick, then... ...I'm in charge of the house!" Zhong Rou just realized, and then kicked the tabby cat away, "Get out of the way."

Zhong Rou didn't take a shower and go to bed, but instead, she partied until dawn, then came to the study, turned on the computer, and started playing games. She partied all night.

Zhong Rou glanced at the person who was competing with her to stay up late, who had not replied to the message for three minutes. Obviously, the other party had already fallen asleep.

She curled her lips: "Flying Dance!"

Then she sent an 'Staying Up Late Champion' emoticon and turned off the computer.

After staying up all night, Zhong Rou stretched her back, feeling a little more energetic, and then went to the kitchen to find a glass of milk to drink.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw a dark figure. She shouted loudly, "Who is it? A thief? Take my fist... ..."

The fist wind whistled. Seeing that it was Chu Fang, Zhong Rou quickly stopped the 'Zhong-style Eight Fists,' and then asked suspiciously, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I'm very good." Chu Fang drank the milk and replied calmly.

"I don't believe it."

Using the faint light from outside, she saw that Chu Fang's eyes were covered with tiny red blood vessels, his eyelids were slightly drooping, his skin had lost its former luster, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, revealing an undeniable fatigue.

Chu Fang stared blankly at his sister-in-law: "Do you want me to laugh?"

"Did my sister bully you?"

"No, your sister is very good to me." Chu Fang said, "Very good, very good... ..."

As he spoke, he suddenly broke down and said, "Your sister, your sister is not human."

Zhong Rou stayed up all night, and so did Chu Fang.

From last night when they returned home until now, they had been diligently working hard for the great cause of having a child, but Chu Fang, as a man, could not compare to Zhong Tingyue, who was a woman. He had almost squeezed out all the strength in his body, and Zhong Tingyue was still forcing him.

Now he even had the desire to die.

He finally knew why those middle-aged men avoided 'homework,' it was simply a nightmare.

A song appeared in Chu Fang's mind: "That night, you didn't refuse me... ..."

"Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? Why are you hiding in the kitchen?" Zhong Tingyue walked over. Hearing the sound, Chu Fang's mouth twitched, and then he pulled him out of the kitchen, saying as he walked, "Zhong Rou, go out for breakfast today. I'll transfer the money to you."

Bang!

Then the bedroom door closed.

Zhong Rou, facing her brother-in-law's helpless pupils, shrugged: "Sorry, brother-in-law, I can't afford to offend my sister either."

... ...

Chu Fang had never found time to pass so slowly.

"Aren't you going to work?"

"I don't want to go."

"But I want to go to work."

Chu Fang really wanted to go to work. Even designing blueprints made him feel extremely happy.

"No way." Zhong Tingyue shook her head.

Chu Fang: "... ..."

Time slowly came to noon.

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue were lying in the bedroom, both staring at the ceiling, now silent.

"Mr. Chu, do you still have any strength?"

"No."

"Should we eat something and then do it again?"

Chu Fang's heart was trembling: "No, no, I want to rest."

"Okay, let's rest for a while."

Chu Fang: "Are we doing the right thing?"

"Isn't it right?" Zhong Tingyue tilted her slender neck.

"I think we should proceed gradually, step by step."

"But I want to have a baby."

"You need to take care of my body."

"Is Mr. Chu's body not working?"

"It's not working anymore, I'm dying."

Chu Fang had once sworn that he would never say he couldn't do it in front of a woman, but today he swore again that he would never say he could do it in front of a woman.

If he violated this oath, he would be struck by lightning, regardless of the consequences.

"You have to do it even if you can't, I want to be a mother."

Chu Fang was about to cry: "Ms. Zhong, please kill me."

Just as he was crying, someone suddenly called. The caller was Wen Xiangbing. He immediately answered the phone, and his crying face suddenly became serious.

After listening to a few sentences, he hung up the phone and said to Zhong Tingyue, "Ms. Zhong, I can't stay with you, something happened."

Zhong Tingyue frowned: "What's wrong?"

Chu Fang said while putting on his clothes, "I don't know the specific details, but it's a very important matter, I have to go quickly."

He put on his clothes, then kissed Zhong Tingyue's forehead and hurriedly left the bedroom.
