After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 633

Chapter 633: Setting Up Shop Elsewhere
A soft chuckle escaped Qin Bei’s lips involuntarily. Zhouzhou was all well and good, but sometimes, she could be a bit naive.

What was the point of all this fuss? It was just aimless activity. His laughter sparked amusement among the other children, though there was no malice intended.

Yet, Zhouzhou’s face still flushed with embarrassment. She puffed out her cheeks and addressed the teacher earnestly, “Teacher, I’m just gathering energy. I’ll grow to be three meters tall in the future.”

“Ha—,” even the teacher couldn’t help but laugh at this. Catching the little girl’s distressed gaze, she cleared her throat and nodded with a smile, “Yes, I believe in you, dear. You’ll definitely grow to be three meters tall.”

With her confidence restored, Zhouzhou happily skipped to the spot the teacher had pointed out.

Being a bit shorter now didn’t matter much; there were still decades ahead. When she did grow to be three meters tall, she’d laugh at them for being a bunch of shorties!

Observing Zhouzhou’s self-assured demeanor, Li Yuxin couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. She, too, wanted to be as confident as Zhouzhou in the future. Yes!

Before long, the seating arrangements were settled. Qin Feng and Huo Ji’an, having also skipped grades and both previously unwell, managed to secure seats on either side of Zhouzhou. Seeing familiar faces on both sides, Zhouzhou’s mood lifted.

However, Huo Ji’an wasn’t too pleased. If Chubby Girl was to be the “shorty,” then wouldn’t he be the second “shorty”?

The thought soured his mood. Although he enjoyed playing with Chubby Girl all the time, this wasn’t the kind of situation he wanted!

Sensing his discomfort, Zhouzhou patted their shoulders comfortingly. “It’s okay, just eat well. Once we’ve gathered enough energy, we’ll grow to be three meters tall.”

At her words, Huo Ji’an glanced at her silently. She ate plenty, yet she hadn’t grown much taller. Meeting his gaze, Zhouzhou raised a questioning eyebrow. “Little Skinny Pole, what are you thinking?”

Feeling the implied threat in her words, Huo Ji’an shivered and shook his head repeatedly. “Nothing, nothing. I think you’re right. You’ll definitely grow to be three meters tall!”

This was more like it.

Zhouzhou withdrew her hand, humming in response. No one would dare to discourage her! If they wanted to laugh, let them.

They wouldn’t have many opportunities left, as she would soon grow to be three meters tall. Thinking this, Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin. Though small in stature, she refused to be overshadowed.

Seeing her demeanor, Qin Feng couldn’t help but laugh. Qin Nan and Qin Bei, although seated a bit far from them, still joined in the post-class gathering of children.

Qin Nan and Li Yuxin happened to be sitting together, and whenever they had the chance, Qin Nan would engage her in conversation about acting.

Li Yuxin was stunned after hearing it. Could it really be done this way? She had just gained some insight.

“Fifth Brother, what are you guys talking about?” Zhouzhou, curious about their conversation, leaned over and asked.

However, Qin Bei abruptly stopped, speaking mysteriously, “Can’t tell you now. You’ll know in due time.”

This piqued Zhouzhou’s curiosity. “Tell me quietly, I promise not to tell anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Nan glanced at the sunflower seeds in her pocket and snorted lightly.

But forget it. Did she think she could just keep taking these seeds for free? Besides eating them herself, she also shared them when gossiping with others.

She replenished her stock several times a day. Even if she didn’t spill the beans, she was the quickest to spread rumors.

Qin Nan waved his hand to shoo them away. “I’m busy here. Go play somewhere else.”

“Give us some time. When the time comes, you’ll be amazed,” he declared confidently.

As the future director, he had great confidence in his directing skills. Unlike Qin Bei, he wasn’t foolish and was good at keeping his composure, avoiding idle talk.

Realizing that they wouldn’t be able to get any answers, they gave up. However…

Zhouzhou still warned, “Fifth Brother, don’t tell Xinxin anything nonsensical.”

Li Yuxin’s calamity was imminent, and Zhouzhou was afraid that his nonsensical words might cause trouble when the calamity came.

Although having her around would mitigate any major issues, the calamity was still significant, so caution was necessary.

With this in mind, Zhouzhou took out a talisman from her pocket and handed it to Li Yuxin. “Xinxin, take this. Remember, don’t leave it too far from you, preferably carry it with you at all times.”

In response to the puzzled look on Li Yuxin’s face, Qin Feng looked at Zhouzhou, then at Li Yuxin, and said, “Take it. Listen to Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou is very powerful.”

Qin Nan and Qin Bei nodded in agreement. That was true. Zhouzhou hadn’t had a single meal in vain that day and knew a lot.

Upon hearing their words, Li Yuxin didn’t say much, obediently nodding and carefully pocketing the talisman.

Behind her, Li Yu’an watched them closely, observing the scene and flashing a faint light in his eyes.

Zhouzhou seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head to look at him. Li Yu’an flinched and quickly averted his gaze. Zhouzhou, however, stared at him intently, rubbing her chin.

Li Yuxin’s lifelessness and Li Yu’an seemed to be connected. However, she couldn’t figure out the specifics.

No, she had to keep an eye on him. For some reason, Li Yu’an felt that her gaze was extremely fierce and couldn’t help but shrink his neck, lowering his presence.

“What’s wrong?” Sensing her gaze, Chang Beibei curiously looked over.

Zhouzhou shook her head, retracting her gaze. “Nothing.”

Hearing this, Chang Beibei tilted her head in distress. Ah, everyone had little secrets they didn’t tell her. What was a gossip-loving person like her supposed to do? She was dying of curiosity!

However, the calamity was no small matter, and Zhouzhou dared not act recklessly, avoiding letting too many people know to prevent any major changes.

Today was just the first day of reporting; formal classes hadn’t started yet. After the teacher finished explaining some things and familiarized them with the school, the day quickly passed.

Elementary school students didn’t need to line up like in kindergarten when they left school. They considered themselves big kids now and made their way to the school gate on their own.

Zhouzhou proudly strutted with her little chest puffed out, once again proud to be an honored elementary school student.

“Caicai!” Qin Er scanned the crowd and immediately strode over when he saw Zhouzhou’s distinct hair.

There was no helping it; Zhouzhou’s fortune pigtails was easy to spot amidst the crowd because she was so short she could easily be lost in it.

“Brother Dafu!” Zhouzhou happily jumped up and down, vigorously waving at him.

Within a few steps, Qin Er reached her side. “I’m going to set up a stall. Are you coming?”

Zhouzhou nodded eagerly. “Of course!”

The matter of making money naturally couldn’t proceed without her, Qin Caicai.

Qin Er nodded, opening his bag to show her the contents. It was filled to the brim with various snacks and toys that children loved.

He didn’t need to say much; Zhouzhou knew these would sell well. What was the one thing not lacking in school? Children!

The two money enthusiasts immediately agreed, not wasting any time as they held hands and ran towards the school gate.

Coincidentally, Li Yuxin and Li Yu’an also ran over to a couple in their thirties.

When Li Yu’an saw them, he rushed over joyfully, calling out, “Mom, Dad!”

Li Yuxin, however, stood silently to the side, lowering her head without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou stopped in her tracks. Her eyes flickered as she suddenly grabbed Qin Er’s hand and said, “Brother Dafu, let’s set up our stall somewhere else today.”
