The group successfully collected "taxes" from neighbors with the help of Xiao Ben, much to the chagrin of Butcher Zhang and Mr. Qian. Later, while preparing a meal, Chen Siyu discusses her rapidly improving grades with Jiang Ning and the upcoming exams. Meanwhile, Jiang Ning checks his phone and sees a post from Shen Qing'e, recalling their past interactions with a hint of lingering discomfort.

Xuanwu Lake side, western restaurant.

Shen Qing'e and her sister were traveling in Nan City, she was wearing a beautiful dress, sitting in a stylish and high-end restaurant, the wind blowing past, the lake water rippling, the environment pleasant.

She was very happy because this kind of life was the life she dreamed of, not having to worry about life, going wherever she wanted to play.

Even though she knew, it was just because she was benefiting from her sister Shen Hongdie.

Shen Qing'e opened the class group chat as usual, where a competition was being held to compete for the title of this week's Humorous Student.

The competition was sponsored by Yang Sheng, and the winner could win two opportunities to direct others to work, or use it to offset their debts.

Shen Qing'e had already paid off her debt to Yang Sheng, she was the free spirit of class eight.

The enthusiasm to participate was still quite high among classmates, all telling cold jokes.

Among them, Guo Kunnan was the most active: "A deer, a lamb, and a monkey went to a convenience store together and were all hit except for the lamb, why?"

Han Wen Nuan: "Because the lamb was sold by the owner, right?"

Yin Yu: "Because it's open 24 hours a day."

Liu Chuandao@Yin Yu: "Why didn't you reply to my message?"

Guo Kunnan: "(thumbs up)."

Zhong Huai also joined in: "In a cold winter, a farmer picked up a snake, took it home and soaked it in a wine jar. After a long, long time, spring came and everything revived, and the snake woke up and climbed out of the jar to say something, what was it?"

Han Wen Nuan: "Almost got sold?"

Yin Yu: "I'm also drunk."

Liu Chuandao's message was completely ignored, and he turned from love to hate: "Yin Yu, so what if you can answer all the cold jokes? Ultimately, share some good jokes, support my likes!"

Liu Chuandao sent a red envelope.

Zhang Chi, Cui Yu, and Liu Chuandao all chimed in: "Brother Dao is right!"

Liu Chuandao smugly: "See that?"

"Who said I couldn't tell jokes? Let me tell one." Yin Yu responded.

Liu Chuandao: "Go ahead."

Yin Yu: "You."

Liu Chuandao puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"She meant you are a joke." Dong Qingfeng.

Yu Wen: "Hahaha, it's indeed quite funny."

Wang Longlong: "Alright, I announce that the winner of this humorous king is Yin Yu."

This was the first time Yin Yu won in this class full of strong contenders, her smile in front of the screen seemed sincere for once.

Shen Qing'e didn't have much feeling about this result, she just thought Yin Yu was very beautiful, very smart, also very trendy, and must have a good family background.

Truly envious, born without needing to strive.

Actually, she originally had this chance too, but unfortunately, she messed it up herself.

She was about to turn off the screen when suddenly she received a text message.

[It's me, long time no see what are you doing, even after so long I still can't forget you, can we meet…]

Shen Qing'e's breath stalled, in that moment, the service of the waiter in the restaurant slowed, and the leaves outside blown by the wind revealed a clear movement trajectory…

Only her thoughts flowed, popping out with an awaited yet unbelievable answer: 'Could it be…'

'He's finally done fooling around…'

'He's, coming back to find me…'

Shen Qing'e's heart fluttered, with trembling fingers, she tapped the screen with a heart palpitating.

She continued to read further and saw the unfinished message: [If you're a brother come kill me, without payment you can get epic generals, start with Five Tiger Generals, level up quickly to the sky, manage anytime, anywhere, one swipe to take the head of thousands of troops, equipment all depends on drawing cards, it's a brand-new version you've never played, playing Three Kingdoms Battle Chronicles makes me your brother!]

Shen Qing'e stared blankly at her phone and the virtual number '10107XXXX'.

A huge void and anger filled her heart, she angrily replied: "Get lost!"

...

River Dam Bungalow, blue sky and white clouds.

Tang Fu stepped out of Tongtong's house courtyard, wandering the river dam alone.

Xiao Ben, lying at the door pretending to nap, lifted its dog head to glance at her, knowing that she was one of Jiang Ning's group, it couldn't be bothered to make a sound to scare.

Mr. Qian was very happy today, his son-in-law found someone to install air conditioning for him to help him escape the summer heat.

There were two guys installing the air conditioner, one was slightly darker, the other wasn't as dark.

Mr. Qian looked like he was very familiar with them: "Here comes Xiao Zhong, have you recently recruited new employees?"

The air conditioner installer's surname was Zhong, Master Zhong got off the small truck, saying, "This is my son, today I'll teach him to install air conditioners, after graduating in a couple of years, he'll work with me directly, saving up for the wedding money, then find him a wife."

The male classmate next to him pulled a face, not speaking.

Mr. Qian frowned, since he believed in the existence of a golden house in books, he immediately advised: "Still, study hard, only then can you have a future!"

Master Zhong waved his hand: "He's in the second year of high school, ranking last in the class, what future can he have?"

Mr. Qian saw a big doofus wandering around nearby, he knew this was Jiang Ning's friend, surely a classmate.

Being so tall and seemingly not very clever, definitely a poor student.

Mr. Qian beckoned: "That fool… that classmate, what do you think of this second-year student?"

Tang Fu, intending to understand the local community relationship, walked over here, glanced at the male classmate, and exclaimed: "You're just in second year of high school? I thought you were the teacher!"

The male classmate's face turned darker.

Mr. Qian: "I asked you what your opinion is on him dropping out of high school."

Tang Fu asked the male classmate: "Classmate, what work are you planning to do after dropping out?"

The male classmate holding the outdoor unit of the air conditioner said nothing.
