It feels like...it's a huge expense.
At least a few thousand.
Su Chen's family is not poorly off, and he takes care of most of the family members, so he has a lot of living expenses and pocket money.
But he is not usually that frugal with his money, and these days... he has been spending more on practical things, so he doesn't have much money left.
The new living expenses will not be transferred until next month.
As for borrowing money...
Logically speaking, it should be easy to borrow money from Sister Fei, after all, she is a wealthy woman.
But Su Chen didn't want to borrow from her.
Borrowing money now still feels a bit psychologically burdensome, but once the door is opened, I will ask her to borrow money more and more frequently and will become dependent on her.
Su Chen doesn't really want to become a gigolo, so he must not borrow money from Jiang Fei unless it is absolutely necessary.
So this one is directly passed!
Hey ~
Just as I was worrying, the cell phone rang.
He thought it was one of his girlfriends who came to whisper, but when he looked, it turned out to be Liu Xiyan.
Looking at the time, Su Jie and the others should be in class. He couldn't possibly test him at this time, right?
"Brother Su Chen, are you busy?"
"? You're not paying attention in class, playing with your phone."
Liu Xiyan was very excited when she saw the news on the screen.
Is this what it feels like to be cared for? It's great.
Although there was more accusation, she still enjoyed it.
Then he looked at the teacher who was beaming with joy at the podium and said casually:
"It's physical education class now, free time, and no one wants to play with me, so I can only chat with my brother."
"Where's Su Jie? Didn't you go to play with her?"
"She has her own things to do, she can't always be with me."
Su Chen snorted. Are you sure he is not just sitting next to the phone and monitoring you?
"Don't worry, brother. She's not watching now."
Liu Xiyan said this specifically to help Su Chen confirm that all the previous things he did were to help Su Jie fish.
Also create an image for yourself.
After all, I was too proactive before and gave too much away, not like a proper girl.
Isn't it a good opportunity to clear yourself up?
Su Chen took a look and found that his guesses were all correct. Liu Xiyan's previous behavior was deliberately made by Su Jie to test her.
But this little girl was quite smart. She knew that I had seen through her, so she just revealed her cards directly.
Of course, Su Chen couldn't use this as an opportunity to complain about Su Jie. After all, everyone hates others talking about them behind their backs. If Su Jie saw him and her bestie talking about her, she would definitely be unhappy.
"Brother, what are you doing? Are you paying attention in class?"
"Of course, I'm a good student."
"Brother Su Chen, you are in No. 1 Middle School, right? What a coincidence, I have a cousin who is also in that school."
"Really? Which class?"
"I don't know. I'm not very familiar with her." Liu Xiyan really didn't know and didn't care at all. After all, she was a rather annoying person.
If her parents hadn't been nagging her all day long, she wouldn't even care which school her cousin went to.
Of course, even if she knew, she couldn't tell Su Chen. What if her cousin fell in love with her? They were so close, so she had no place to cry.
For the first time, Liu Xiyan hated herself for not studying hard. As a result, she only got into No. 2 Middle School. If she had worked harder, she would be in the same school as Su Chen now.
However, being poor at studying is also a point that can be exploited.
Once I get to know Brother Su Chen better, I will definitely find an opportunity to ask him to help me with my studies.
"Your cousin is so smart, why didn't you ask her to help you with your studies?"
"..."
Liu Xiyan thought to herself, they really are in sync with each other. Just as she was thinking of asking Su Chen to help her with her studies, he mentioned it.
Make up lessons.
Her cousin did say that she wanted to help her with her studies, but she couldn't stand her and didn't listen seriously at all, so after a couple of times she just gave in.
That was something she didn't want to talk about, so she retorted, "Brother is so smart, but didn't he help Xiaojie with her lessons?"
"Yes, Xiaojie is very hardworking. Her grades were terrible before. During that time, I helped her with her lessons every day. She studied hard for a long time before she was admitted to No. 2 Middle School."
Although Su Jie's original goal was to go to the same school as Su Chen, and Su Chen saw her efforts, she had no choice but to give up because her academic talent made it difficult for her to get into No. 2 Middle School.
Although she has always been concerned about this matter, Su Chen is still quite satisfied.
No. 2 Middle School is not much worse than No. 1 Middle School.
"Oh, so, if there is a chance in the future, can you help me with my studies?"
"Don't you want your cousin to give you extra lessons?"
"She and I don't have a good relationship. Even if I want to, she may not be willing. Doesn't my brother want to be unwilling?"
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Su Chen did not give her any reply. He remembered that the purpose of adding Liu Xiyan's contact information was to find out her character.
So I asked:
"You are such a beautiful girl, you should have a lot of friends in school, why is there no one to play with you?"
"Brother... don't you want to chat with me?"
This little girl is quite sensitive.
He immediately replied: "No, isn't this just part of the conversation?"
"Oh, actually it's not that no one wants to play with me. The boys in my class always try to get my attention, but I think they are so childish, a bunch of kids who have just grown up, I don't bother to pay attention to them."
"..."
The corner of Su Chen's mouth twitched: "I am also a child who has just become an adult."
"Brother Su Chen, that's not what I meant. I meant that although those classmates are adults, they still act like children, full of childishness.
But Brother Su Chen is different. He gives people the feeling of a mature adult, and makes people want to rely on him unconsciously."
Ah.
After all, he took care of two stupid women, one big and one small, at home, so he has more or less inherited the temperament of being the head of the family.
Su Chen is still self-aware of this.
"Then how did you and Su Jie get to know each other?"
"She~" Liu Xiyan recalled:
"Su Jie was just like me at school. She didn't like to hang out with the boys and always walked around alone.
I originally thought that she and I were the same type of people and that we might have a lot of common topics, so I tried to approach her, and after a few interactions we became friends.
Later, it turned out that she didn't want to bother with those boys because she already had a lover in Brother Su Chen."
Ninety-one hiding under Luo Lingling's desk
Su Jie is also very withdrawn at school?
Judging from his personality, Su Chen doesn't think so.
But considering that this was the first time she brought a friend home in so many years, it seemed reasonable.
However, it is not good for a young person to be without a few friends. It seems that when I have free time, I still have to take Su Jie to make more friends.
"Brother Su Chen, Christmas is coming soon. Do you and Su Jie have any activities?"
"Of course."
"Oh, what gift are you going to give her?"
By the way, when it comes to giving Su Jie a gift, he really has no idea, so he can just ask her friends.
"I don't know. You're her best friend. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I suggest that brother just pack up and give himself to Xiaojie. She will definitely be very satisfied."
"I know that, but she will definitely be happier with another gift."
"makes sense."
Liu Xiyan bit her fingers, feeling so jealous.
Then, the two talked about what Su Jie liked and what she wanted most.
As a result, he found that many of the things Liu Xiyan talked about were things he had never heard Su Jie mention.
I searched online and found that they were all relatively expensive items.
No wonder I never heard Su Jie mention it. I guess she was reluctant to buy it. She also knew that Su Chen doted on her very much, so she didn't want Su Chen to save money to buy it for her, so she never told him.
Su Jie is sometimes very considerate of her brother.
Su Chen felt very relieved.
In this way, I can fulfill her little wish during Christmas.
But this will make the already tight budget Christmas gift plans even more difficult.
Money? Where can I get the money to make ends meet?
"Brother, what are you thinking about? I don't know which one to choose?"
