This Curse Is Just Awesome - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Official Competition (1)

The school problem was solved.

Chen Yu relaxed and lay on the sofa, feeling at ease.

With the ‘one-time’ bonus from Beijing University, plus the bonus from No. 7 High School and the Municipal Bureau of Education, his family’s financial problems were finally no longer a problem.

“Xiao Yu, this money… do you have any plans?” Chen Yu’s mother sat next to Chen Yu and asked hesitantly.

“Do you want to use it?” Chen Yu asked.

“Mom doesn’t need it. Mom wants to save it for you to use when you get married in the future. Well… If you want to buy resources or something with this money, then forget it.”

“The school will provide me with normal resources. I’m going to buy a house with this money.”

“Buy a house?” Chen Siwen tilted her head. “To buy a house in the Capital? The down payment isn’t enough, right?”

“Buy it in Qingcheng City.”

“We have a house.”

“That house is too old.” Chen Yu shook his head. “Anyway, now that the economy is better, I can earn money quite easily in the future. I’ll buy a house for you in a high-end residential area. There are security guards, patrols, and properties. It’ll be safer to go in and out.”

“That works too…” Mother Chen agreed. “Money is spent quickly. It’ll be much safer if you change it into a real estate. In the future, when you get married, you can use it as a wedding house.”

“Alright.” Chen Yu made the decision. “Then it’s decided. But we can’t buy it now.”

“Why?”

“It’s summer now, so buying a house isn’t suitable.” Chen Yu analyzed calmly. “It’s hot and cold, so buying a house now is more disadvantageous. When we buy it in winter, we can buy a few more squares with the same amount of money.”

“…”

Mother Chen was silent. After a moment, she came to a realization. “So that’s the case! That makes sense.”

Chen Siwen: “…That makes sense, huh?!”

…

Night, 10 o’clock sharp.

The Chen family members were not sleepy at all. They were all excitedly imagining the future.

A family that was originally at the bottom level had become completely different because of Chen Yu.

This was not just a change in material aspects.

There were also many deeper things…

Knock, knock, knock!

When the needle was about to reach 10 o’clock, there was a knock on the door.

“I’ll get it.”

Chen Yu got up and walked to the hall to open the door. He found three examiners standing outside.

“Hello, Student Chen Yu.”

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing important.” The leading examiner picked up the notebook. “It’s just to record which examinees haven’t returned yet.”

“Oh, I’m back. My family is here too.”

“Okay. Sorry to disturb your rest. I wish you good luck in your College Entrance Exam tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Yu nodded and was about to close the door. However, he heard another examiner who was making ward rounds say, “Team leader, the examinee in the 20th hasn’t returned yet.”

“Yes, record it. If she hasn’t returned by 11 o’clock, go and look for her.”

“Okay…”

Bang!

After closing the door, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

“Who is it?” Chen Siwen walked over and asked.

“It’s a ward round. Don’t worry about it.” Chen Yu walked into the living room and looked at the dark night outside the window. Then, he closed the curtains. “It’s past 10 o’clock. There’s still a competition tomorrow. Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” Mother Chen agreed. “Go to sleep quickly. Rest well and replenish your energy.”

“Okay…” Chen Siwen still wanted more. “I’ll listen to what you have to say. There are still some things I haven’t asked you yet.”

“Ask me after the College Entrance Exam.” Chen Yu pointed at the master bedroom. “You guys sleep in this room, and I’ll sleep in that room. Is that okay?”

“You sleep in the master bedroom. Mom and I will squeeze in the second bedroom.”

“Both are fine. Good night.”

“Good night!” Chen Siwen blew a kiss and brought Mother Chen into the room.

Chen Yu turned off the lights, but he did not enter the bedroom.

Instead, he tapped his feet and quietly pushed the door open, leaving the dormitory.

Yes.

He wanted to look for Bahuang Yao.

It was not out of concern.

He just wanted to watch the show…

“It’s already so late, but she’s still waiting in the dining room. That’s too tragic.”

“Hahahaha…”

“Cough.”

With a straight face, Chen Yu warned himself not to laugh as he entered the elevator and pressed the button for the second floor.

Buzz, buzz, buzz —

The elevator immediately operated and sent Chen Yu to the second floor.

Ding!

The elevator door opened.

Chen Yu walked along the corridor all the way to the dining room.

Behind the empty glass door, he saw a thin and small figure with a slightly trembling body.

Through the glass, he could clearly see that this girl was grabbing the cold rice that Chen Yu had left for her with her hands and putting it into her mouth one by one.

As she chewed, she swallowed. Tears were dripping down her face.

It fell onto the rice.

It fell into the soup.

She grabbed it and ate it…

Along with the dim lighting and the silent silence… The entire scene was rendered somewhat comical.

However, Chen Yu could not laugh no matter what.

Even though he was prepared to watch the show from the start.

“Urgh…”

As she ate, the girl choked. She scratched her throat in pain and spat out the rice.

Looking at the ‘mess’ of the lunch box, the girl was dazed for a long time. Then, she covered her face with her hands covered with rice grains and twitched silently.

In the distance.

Chen Yu pursed his lips and did not make any sound. He turned around and hid in the bathroom.

They were all of the same age.

He knew that he could not appear at this time.

Therefore, he found a pit and went to the toilet…

…

More than ten minutes later.

Bahuang Yao was finally tired from crying.

She dragged her heavy body and slowly stood up. Just as she was about to leave, she realized that there was someone standing in front of her.

Chen Yu.

“You…” The girl was a little flustered. She subconsciously took a step back, but because her center of gravity was unstable, she fell back into the chair.

Chen Yu smiled and handed over a piece of paper.

Bahuang Yao looked at Chen Yu in a daze.

Chen Yu also looked at her quietly.

Time seemed to have paused for a moment at this moment.

The lights, the tables, chairs, the dining room… Everything disappeared.

Only the figures and faces reflected in each other’s pupils were left…

After an unknown amount of time, the girl reached out her trembling hand and took the piece of paper.

When her cold fingertips touched the white paper and felt the residual warmth, the emotions in the bottom of her heart finally collapsed and she burst into tears.

“Why…”

The girl used a tissue to wipe her face and sobbed. “Why… Why did you do this…”

Chen Yu was silent.

“Why… What did I do wrong…”

Chen Yu was still silent.

“Why… Why did you come…”

Chen Yu did not remain silent. “I came to use the toilet.”

“…” The girl looked up in a daze, her eyes filled with tears. “Then… then this paper…”

Chen Yu: “Toilet paper.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Chen Yu: “Is there a problem?”

Bahuang Yao: “…No… No…”
