Chapter 4: Lian Qingxue Returns the Money, Qi Yun is Awesome!

“Congratulations, Host. Investment amount: Ten yuan! Return on investment: One hundred yuan, deposited into your bank card!”

“Congratulations, Host, on completing the achievement: First Investment. Reward: Scholar’s Halo!”

Qi Yun felt a card appear in his pocket.

He pulled it out and found it was a bank card.

“At least the system isn’t stupid…”

Qi Yun had been worried. After all, he was just a student. Although he had a bank card, it was a joint account managed by his family. They knew exactly how much money was in there.

If he used that card, he wouldn’t be able to explain.

After a while, his old feature phone vibrated twice, and a transfer message appeared.

The card number in the message matched this new bank card.

Qi Yun put down his phone and looked at the Scholar’s Halo reward.

“Scholar’s Halo: Photographic memory, inferential thinking, the host’s learning effect will be ten times that of an ordinary person!”

He opened the math book on the desk and began to test the effects of the Scholar’s Halo.

His high school performance was mediocre, ranking middle to low in the class.

Not to mention, he had graduated a long time ago.

The high school knowledge had long been returned to the teachers, with interest.

It could be said that his current knowledge reserve for the college entrance examination might not even match a junior high school graduate.

But when he began to study, he found: The Scholar’s Halo was awesome!

What’s it like to be in one’s element!

Now when he read books and did problems, he felt a silky smooth sensation!

Qi Yun gradually became immersed in studying!

When the evening self-study bell rang, Qi Yun was tapped by Wang Shang and woke from his study state.

“Qi Yun, what happened to you today? You’re studying so hard? Aren’t we both poor students, can we be honest?” Wang Shang said with disdain.

Qi Yun patted Wang Shang on the shoulder.

“Alas, I wanted to get along with you guys as a poor student, but now you found out!”

“???”

“Fine, I’ll lay it out for you, I’m not pretending anymore, I’m a scholar!”

“……”

Wang Shang laughed when he heard this.

He clearly didn’t believe it.

Not just him, the other classmates didn’t believe it either, and they all started laughing.

Even Lian Qingxue, who was reading in the corner, couldn’t help but look up at Qi Yun.

They had been classmates for three years, who didn’t know each other’s grades?

Qi Yun?

Good-looking, but his grades were very average.

Claiming to be a scholar, who would believe that?

…

The next morning, as soon as Qi Yun arrived at the classroom, he was stopped by Lian Qingxue.

“Qi Yun, here’s your money back.”

Lian Qingxue held ten one-yuan bills in her hand.

Seeing this, Qi Yun’s heart softened. This might be money that Lian Qingxue had saved bit by bit.

“Didn’t I say we were trading for dinner?”

“Buns are fifty cents, I asked about the beef noodles, ten yuan.”

Qi Yun was a bit troubled, why was Lian Qingxue so literal?

Seeing that Qi Yun didn’t take the money, Lian Qingxue stubbornly pushed the money in her hand forward again.

“I can’t take advantage of you,” she said.

Seeing Lian Qingxue with her head lowered and her feet seemingly nailed to the floor , Qi Yun spoke up, “Actually, I also have a favor to ask of you.”

He remembered that when he offered her an egg before, she accepted it, didn’t she?

Now it seemed that Lian Qingxue accepted the egg probably because she copied her homework to him.

“A favor to ask me?”

“Yes, you see, didn’t I say yesterday that I am now a scholar and all that?”

Lian Qingxue nodded, not understanding how this was related to her.

“Actually, I really want to study hard now, but as you know, my basics aren’t very strong, so I was thinking, could you tutor me during the winter break?”

“Tutoring?”

“Yes! Consider this ten yuan as a deposit!”

Lian Qingxue thought for a moment and nodded, but she still didn’t take back the money, “I can teach you, no need for the money.”

“……”

Qi Yun was completely stumped hearing this.

He took a step forward, directly towards Lian Qingxue.

Lian Qingxue couldn’t stand her ground anymore.

She jumped away like a rabbit, her face flushing.

Once Qi Yun became domineering, Lian Qingxue had no way to resist, she could only watch as Qi Yun returned to his seat.

Today was the last day before the winter break.

After half a day of classes, the seniors at Spring City No.1 High School started their vacation.

Wang Shang, with his backpack, ran to Qi Yun’s side, “Let’s go to the internet cafe!”

At this moment, Lian Qingxue also walked over, “Let’s go! I need to see where your house is!”

Once she took the money, she had to do the work!

Lian Qingxue had already got into her role.

She was ready to familiarize herself with the place and kick off her tutoring career during the winter break.

Qi Yun followed Lian Qingxue out of the classroom.

Wang Shang was dumbfounded from behind, “You’re going to meet the parents so soon! Qi Yun, you’re amazing!”

Qi Yun noticed that Lian Qingxue, who was walking ahead, seemed not to hear.

But her clear earlobe on the left was quietly turning a shy red.
