She propped her chin up with one hand and said, "I grew up in an orphanage and changed many adoptive families. It was not until I was twelve years old that I met a teacher who taught me programming, and then I ended my life of running around in other families."

Chu Peining raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised.

She had seen Zou Tong's face and knew that although his life had been a bit bumpy, he was not destined to be alone.

She closed her eyes, and the golden light passed through her body. Chu Peining accurately found the starting node, and discovered that it was shrouded in blood mist. Her charming eyes narrowed.

She can see the thread of a person's destiny, each node represents a decisive moment, and the densely entangled bonds with others.

The first node is the moment of birth.

This shows that Zou Tong was born with death.

Perhaps this is why she became an orphan.

Chu Peining couldn’t see the details for the time being, but she was sure that Zou Tong’s parents were still alive—the two silk threads at the initial node had not disappeared.

Zou Tong sighed, suddenly realized something, and turned his head sharply: "Then how do you live?"

Chu Peining said lazily, "She was taken home to be engaged to a descendant of the family, but was kicked out two days ago and is now living in debt."

This matter has spread throughout the upper class circles in Haicheng, and many onlookers have also heard of it.

Zou Tong has been staying at home and has no idea.

Looking at my sister who is four years younger than me, I feel more and more distressed.

"Then won't you have to start working to pay off your debts while you're still in school?"

"No." Chu Peining corrected, "You still have to continue studying."

She was curious about how far the subject had developed.

"Then what about the debt you owe?" Zou Tong asked worriedly.

Housing prices in Haicheng are high, and renting an apartment in the city center costs a lot.

It’s hard to imagine how her thin shoulders could bear such a huge debt.

Chu Peining looked nonchalant, "At worst I can just mortgage myself."

Zou Tong: “???”

After a moment of silence, she laughed dryly: "You are so humorous."

……

These past few days, Zou Tong stayed to eat and teach Chu Peining programming, and he looked like he was going to stay.

Until Monday…

Zou Tong got up at six o'clock for the first time and looked at Chu Peining who had just washed up with a resentful look on his face.

"Who will cook for me when you leave..." She paused and immediately changed the subject: "How can I learn programming? Didn't you confidently say that you wouldn't let me down?"

Chu Peining bit the rubber band, her black hair tied into a ponytail, and said helplessly: "I'm just going to school, not going far away, and I'm a day student. It's not far from here to school. I will come back after school at noon and in the afternoon."

"Really?" Zou Tong was delighted. "That's good."

I almost had to live on instant noodles again.

Chu Peining tilted her head and her eyes fell on the blue and white school uniform jacket next to her. She felt an indescribable resistance in her heart.

How ugly.

But there is no way, even if she is an existence beyond the world, she has to abide by the rules.

"gone."

As soon as his hand touched the door handle, Zou Tong suddenly asked, "Do you want me to take you there?"

It was too early and there were few cars on the street. Even if I lived nearby, I might not be able to get to school on time.

Chu Peining glanced at her coral fleece pajamas, "Are you sure?"

Zou Tong waved her hand casually, "Wait for me to change my clothes."

She came back five minutes later, still holding two helmets.

"Let's go."

When they arrived at the underground garage, Zou Tong led Chu Peining to a cool motorcycle and patted the body of the motorcycle proudly.

"How is it, is my car cool?"

When Chu Peining saw a motorcycle for the first time, his eyes were filled with amazement.

"quite handsome."

Zou Tong smiled proudly, put on his helmet and got in, motioning to her, "Get in the car."

Chu Peining held her waist and ran away.

In December, the weather is cold.

The cold wind blew violently, causing Zou Tong, who had been staying at home all year round, to shiver and slow down his pace involuntarily.

After praying many times, I finally arrived at the school.

She was shivering and her teeth were chattering.

Chu Peining: “…”

"I'll do it myself from now on."

Zou Tong sneezed, "Then I don't care. Remember to go home and cook for me."

After saying that, he rushed away, not wanting to stay even a second longer.

Chu Peining: “…”

Since its establishment, Jing'an High School has won all the top students in Haicheng and produced many geniuses. It ranks among the top three high schools in the whole of China.

Parents from all over Haicheng are scrambling to send their children here.

Chu Peining's grades were not excellent, but she was able to get in because of her relationship with the Mu family, and she was in the best gifted class.

The Elite Class has the best resources in the entire grade and is a place dedicated to cultivating talents for Imperial Capital University.

As long as you enter this class, it is equivalent to having one foot in the Imperial Capital University.

As the top-ranked university in China, its value can be imagined.

At the same time, competition is extremely fierce.

There are only fifty places available. Classes will be divided based on grades, and personnel replacements will be made depending on the situation.

As a person with connections, Chu Peining incurred dissatisfaction among teachers and students in the entire grade.

But for the sake of the Mu family, they could only endure it.

Now that the news of her leaving the Mu family has spread, one can already predict what kind of criticism she will face.

Each grade has an independent building. Chu Peining put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly towards the second-year building.

Morning reading has already begun, and the teaching building is filled with the sound of reading.

Passing by an empty classroom, Chu Peining fixed his eyes.

Speaking of which, she used to be arrogant and had many younger brothers in school, some of whom were in this class.

……

The gifted class has the strongest learning atmosphere in the entire teaching building.

Several boys glanced at the most inconspicuous corner of the classroom. Dirty tables and chairs were leaning against the trash can, and the few books left in the desks were in tatters.

"I haven't seen her these past few days. Could it be that she doesn't dare to come?"

The boy next to him said unhappily, "What is she doing here? To lower our class average or bring bad habits here?"

"She got 300 points on the test but still insisted on staying in the gifted class. I really don't know where she got the nerve to do that."

"Before, he relied on the support of the Mu family and looked down on everyone. Now that he has been kicked out, I'm afraid he can't even solve the basic problem of food and clothing. How can he come to school?"

Only the top 50 students in the grade can enter the gifted class, and all the students in it are outstanding.

Some people have no ability but still occupy positions that belong to others. Of course they feel unbalanced, right?

Hearing these words, Xi Jiaojiao sneered: "She is not even an adopted daughter, and you have the nerve to borrow the reputation of the Mu family."

She tilted her head and gave a flattering smile.

"Finally, you have gotten rid of that good-for-nothing orphan girl. Lingyun, you must be relieved now."

Mu Lingyun smiled faintly, "No one has ruined our family's reputation, so I am naturally happy."

She felt sick when she thought of Chu Peining's ungrateful look.

The scene at the funeral that day emerged in her mind. Mu Lingyun's heart sank, and she couldn't understand why Chu Peining had suddenly changed so much.
