Chapter 857: Little Zhu Extra (35)

Little Zhu needed to pay his school fees himself so he worked part-time at a dessert shop.

Curly Hair would always bring people to his shop. He was always the leader among his friends.

His hair was blue in color. It was very striking, but Little Zhu didn't like the color.

That day, unluckily, Little Zhu bumped into Curly Hair having a fight with someone and he lost.

Curly Hair was in a bad mood. He threatened him and warned him against spreading rumors.

In the next few days, Curly Hair would always appear at the dessert shop once whenever he was working. He seemed to be following him.

"What is your name?"

Curly Hair had been watching over him for a few days, but he was still worried.

"I...." Little Zhu paused. "Don't worry, I didn't see anything that day."

Curly Hair was a little impatient. "I'm asking for your name."

Little Zhu took a step back. "I don't have a name."

"No name?" Curly Hair smiled. "You are a student from the neighboring school, right? How can you go to school if you don't have a name? Are you trying to fool me?"

"I used someone else's identity card," Little Zhu said.

The school he went to was not a government school so he just needed to get a fake identity card and pay money to the school to get in.

"Oh."

Curly Hair seemed to have lost interest in him and left with his sidekicks after paying the bill.

After this, Curly Hair seldom visited the dessert shop. Whenever he did, he would look at Little Zhu mysteriously.

Little Zhu took it as a warning.

One day, Curly Hair came into his shop alone. It was raining outside so he was drenched. There was blood on his body too.

"What... what happened to you?" Little Zhu plucked up his courage and asked.

Did you lose a fight again?

Curly Hair knew what he was thinking and got irritated. "What are you thinking? Pour a glass of water for me."

"Oh, okay."

He was the only one in the shop so he poured him a glass of water and got him a towel.

Little Zhu looked at the arm that was injured and asked, "Do you want me to bandage it for you?"

"You know how to do that?" Curly Hair was surprised.

Little Zhu muttered, "I got used to doing it."

Curly Hair gave him a strange look and agreed to let him treat his wound.

The wound on Curly Hair's arm was quite deep. There was no medicine in the shop but Little Zhu brought his own. He cleaned the wound and then bandaged it after applying the medicine.

Little Zhu remembered that it rained for a long time that day.

Curly Hair lay on the sofa and looked out of the window in a daze.

When he was leaving, he said, "You don't have a name, right?"

Little Zhu paused for a moment and nodded his head.

"You can call yourself Little Zhu."

Cling—

The wind chimes at the entrance rang softly. The young man disappeared in the rain.

Someone gave him a name on that rainy day.

Little Zhu stood at the entrance for a long time before he regained his senses.

He asked Curly Hair before why he gave him this name. Curly Hair told him nonchalantly that Zhu had the same pronunciation as a pig. He was as stupid as a pig so he gave him this name.

The good feelings that Little Zhu that toward him disappeared.

Curly Hair started coming more frequently and their relationship got better.

He worked many jobs when he was in junior high and senior high.

However, Curly Hair would be able to find him no matter where he went.

"I'm going to take the examination for Technology City's university," Little Zhu told Curly Hair one afternoon.

"You?" Curly Hair poked his head. "Do you know what Technology City is?"

Little Zhu smiled. "I know. It is the most technologically advanced place in the whole interstellar world. As long as you are able to get into Technology City, you will not need to worry about your life anymore."

"I am impressive too. I got awards before."

"Your awards meant nothing to Technology City." Curly Hair exposed him mercilessly.

"I will definitely get in!" Little Zhu raised his voice instinctively.

"Amazing. You dare to shout at me now." Curly Hair pinned him to the ground and beat him up.

Then...

He really succeeded.

On the spaceship to Technology City, he met Curly Hair.

When they were bidding each other farewell a few days ago, he looked nonchalant...

"Such a coincidence." Curly Hair greeted him casually. "The little pig is quite impressive. You really succeeded."

"Why... Why are you here?" Little Zhu was stunned.

"I'm going to school." Curly Hair sneered. "Can't I take the examination for Technology City too?"

Little Zhu swallowed. "But... you never seem to study."

Curly Hair clicked his tongue. "Do you know me well enough?"

Little Zhu: "..."

Every time he saw Curly Hair, he would be either playing or fighting. He never saw him doing any serious things before.

As someone born to a rich family, he could lead a good life even if he didn't study well.

Curly Hair turned and left. He ignored Little Zhu for the rest of the journey.

Little Zhu self-reflected. After knowing him for so long, he only knew that he was called Cheng Yu.

He heard this name when other people called him. Cheng Yu never told him anything about himself.

But he told him everything...

So why was he angry? He was the one that didn't say anything.
