Chapter 89: The Inferior Man's Great Transformation
He originally wanted to tease her, deceiving her that the scarf had been thrown into the trash can, and then he would take it back, wash it clean, dry it, and return it to her. As a result, while washing, Shu Zimo accidentally tore the scarf with his fingernail. The scarf was the most delicate thing. Usually, his clothes were either washed in his own special washing machine or taken to a dry cleaner's shop. It could be said that he was a novice among novices.
Although the silk scarf was damaged, he persisted in washing it. The milky white scarf still had a hint of crimson, fluttering back and forth on the balcony of his bedroom. He was at a loss, unsure what to do.
It's no big deal, just buy another one and give it to her.
As for this one, let's put it aside for now.
"Mozi, why did you drag me to the mall? And in such a hurry." Qin Hui was dragged by Shu Zimo to a mall far away from school for an entire afternoon, and he had no idea what kind of trickery was going on.
Qin Hui's family background is also very strong, and he could have gone to high school if he had spent some money. However, he really didn't want to study anymore. It's said that he disbanded the gang he formed in junior high school and started doing business after entering society. His family just let him be. Because of Leng Bing's studies in this city, Qin Hui also came to this city to develop his career. He would often take advantage of going to find Shu Zimo to secretly glance at Leng Bing from afar, and it seemed that his heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
"Qin Hui, I want to buy a scarf as a gift for someone. Can you help me figure out what kind of scarf women usually like?" Shu Zimo didn't understand the psychology of girls, and he was afraid that if he bought one randomly, Qiao Anyu would be dissatisfied, so he had to drag Qin Hui along to buy it.
"How am I supposed to know! You buy it for Joanne Yu then?" Qin Hui saw right through his thoughts, but he stubbornly refused to admit it.
"Never mind all that, just say it! Let's just say... you bought it to give to the one you like."
Shu Zimo's words stirred up Qin Hui's enthusiasm, and it seemed that Leng Bing's birthday was approaching soon. He wanted to give her a gift, but didn't know what would be good. A silk scarf seemed like a decent choice.
Two people shuttled back and forth in every corner of the mall, finally each selecting a scarf that they were satisfied with. It looked very ordinary, but the price was not cheap.
"Shu Zimo, is this the new scarf you promised? This is clearly something my mom would wear at her age! The one I wore last time was hundreds of times more beautiful than this. Did you buy this from a middle-aged woman's store?" Qiao Anyu tossed the scarf back to Shu Zimo with a huff, disapproving of his choice of dark color and unattractive style.
"Girl, this is what I've painstakingly picked out for you, and not only do you not show any gratitude, but you're also nitpicking. Other girls would treasure anything that goes through my hands like it's a precious gem. But you, you're living in luxury without even realizing it. Do you want it or not? Handle it yourself!" Shu Zimo threw down the silk scarf and ran off.
Qiao Anyu reluctantly put away the silk scarf and never wore a scarf again.
After listening to Shu Zimo's complaints, Qin Hui quietly put away the silk scarf and didn't give it away.
Girls' aesthetics and ideas should be the same, right?
What surprised Qiao An Yulian was that Shu Zimo came to borrow homework less and less often. He still had a sloppy look, but it was different from before, and she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different. Qiao An Yulian vaguely felt that his learning concept and attitude seemed to have undergone great changes.
When his grades suddenly jumped to the top twenty in the grade, Qiao Anyu's first thought was: The teacher miscalculated the score. Okay, she admitted that she shouldn't have such a discriminatory concept towards poor students, but this person is Shu Zimo! Those idle and lazy rich kids who don't study or learn anything every day! How is it possible?!
It turned out that Shu Zimo indeed had the ability and strength. When he was already ranked first in his age group at the end of freshman year, everyone who witnessed his poor performance in junior high school felt incredible!
Qiao Anyu, who was squeezed to second place in her age group, felt even more unbalanced: on the road to first place, Shu Zimo, a formidable opponent, emerged! As a result, she had to endure her mother's scolding.
