Chapter 587: A King Versus A Bunch Of Losers – 1

Song Fang went out of the class to take a breather after the class ended.

Wang Yu took a seat beside Fu Zhi and asked, his voice thick with worry, “Sister Zhi, in case you don’t know about it, our school’s academic performance is not as good as Gu Yuan and Qi Heng in Yu City. In particular, Class 21 has been the black sheep of the school, so how are we supposed to win against those elite schools?

“Besides, I heard that some students from Class 1 and Class 2 are joining those two schools as well, which is going to put all of us in an even more difficult position.”

Fu Zhi was typing something on the keyboard and she was wearing headphones. It seemed that she was talking to someone as she said, “Nope. I can’t get it. Sorry, I can’t accept the mission.”

A sigh could be heard from the other side of the line. “The Ouyang Family is going down the hill. They could’ve spent their effort in other matters, yet they chose to investigate Ouyang Zhui’s child. How is there any possibility that Ouyang Zhui would have a child? He died before he could even get married. Anyway, thank you for your time. You can take some rest now.”

After that, Fu Zhi took off the headphones and turned to Wang Yu. “Why? You don’t believe in me?”

Wang Yu shook his head. “No. It’s just that our opponents are too strong, and unless pigs can fly, there’s no way I can pass my exams.”

Who did not want to get good grades? He also hoped that he could perform well in his studies, but considering his level of intelligence, it would be a pipe dream. He said, “It goes without saying that I want to get good grades as well, but the problem is that I can’t do it.”

“Yes, you can,” Fu Zhi replied, “Don’t look down on yourself, Wang Yu. Everyone in this class, including you, has a lot of potential.”

Wang Yu was lost at words.

Truth be told, Fu Zhi had a basic grasp of the situation in Class 21. The reason they could not catch up to the other classes was that they did not have a good foundation. Therefore, all she needed to do was to strengthen their foundation, and they would be good to go.

Besides, not all of the students in Class 21 did badly in their studies. Students such as Zhou Zihuai and Zhou Tingting had outstanding grades.

Fu Zhi then continued, “Besides, have you forgotten about Zhou Zihuai? He’s pretty good as well, so don’t count your chickens before they hatch. You guys are not as bad as you think.”

“That’s because…” Wang Yu shouted. However, he came to a sudden stop when he realized that everyone was looking at them. He cleared his throat, pitched his voice low, and continued, “That’s because he’s not from Class 21. He’s originally a Class 1 student, and he only came to Class 21 because the boys in Class 1 bullied him. Zhou Zihuai’s family is poor. Every time when we have a parent meeting, the parents of those rich kids would compare them to Zhou Zihui, saying that they couldn’t even perform better than a kid from a poor family. Then, those kids would pull Zhou Zihuai into the restroom and give him a good beating…

“Of course, you’d ask why Zhou Zihuai doesn’t want to report to the teachers. He did, but Qian Wenrui sided with those rich kids and asked him to stay quiet. Not only that, but she also told his parents that he has bipolar. Zhou Zihuai couldn’t stand it anymore, so he deliberately failed all his exams during his junior year and got kicked to Class 21. Also, I heard that Zhou Zihuai’s father died a long time ago, and his mother has remarried.”

This was also the reason why he went to great lengths to help Fu Zhi during the English public speaking competition when she first arrived at No.1 High School. To put it bluntly, he thought Fu Zhi was like him. She had lost her father, and she had no other choice but to live below the Lu Family’s fence.

Other people might think that Zhou Zihuai had a thing on Fu Zhi, but none of the students in Class 21 suspected that he liked her. This was because they knew Zhou Zihuai’s past.

After all, as a boy who grew up in a broken family, he knew very well that he could not give anyone a good future. Therefore, he chose not to fall in love with anyone and decided to spend the rest of his life alone.

Wang Yu rested his arm on Fu Zhi’s table and continued, “Although Zhou Zihuai looks normal, Song Fang told me that his stepfather is an alcoholic and he would beat him up every time he finished drinking. All in all, Zhou Zihuai’s family conditions can’t be compared with yours.”

Fu Zhi squinted her eyes.

“Alright, enough talking. I’m going to fill my stomach,” Wang Yu said, “Don’t tell Zhou Zihuai everything that I told you today. He has a strong sense of pride, and he doesn’t want other people to know about his condition.”
