By the time the Chen family's four young masters walked out of the Double Happiness Dumplings Restaurant, the sky had already turned dark.
Behind them was a group of chefs and waiters holding spatulas, spoons, and frying pans, all of them "reluctantly" looking at their backs.
"Hah."
Sighing, Chen Yu patted the 2,000 yuan in his hand and said to his three little sisters, "This restaurant is really stingy. They actually only gave 1,000 yuan for jumping 3.5 meters."
"It's 2,000 yuan!" Stretching out two slender fingers, Chen Yike said, "They only deducted 1,000 yuan for our meal."
"Isn't this unreasonable?" Chen Yu said indignantly. "Jumping three meters is free of charge, and jumping 3.5 meters is worth 2,000 yuan in cash.
If I jump three meters to 3.5 meters, I should naturally be included in the free meal as well.
Profiteers! "
Chen Erke: "Profiteers!"
Chen Sanke: "Profiteers."
Chen Yike: "..."
"No!" Chen Yu angrily waved his fist. "I'm going to reason with them!"
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around to rush through the restaurant's entrance. However, after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped when he saw the "fiendish" staff members standing behind the entrance. Puzzled, he turned around and asked, "Why didn't you guys stop me?"
Chen Yike: "If you get injured, we'll have to pay a lot of medical fees. It can help our family's financial situation."
Chen Erke: "Protect that 1,000 yuan."
Chen Sanke: "Do your best!"
"..." Chen Yu expressionlessly stood in place. After a moment of silence, he turned around and said, "Forget it. One should be magnanimous. Suffering is taking advantage of others."
"Tch."
"Tch."
"Tch."
"You guys really are the worst little sisters in the world."
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
…
On the way home with his three little sisters, Chen Yu pointed at the bags of food in Chen Yike's hands and said, "We need to think of a new reason to bring so much food back.
Let's say that we met Principal Pang on the way home, and the principal begged us to have a meal. Then, he packed up the rest.
Do you understand? "
"Lying to Mom and Dad isn't good, right?"

"I told you last time. This is a white lie.
Keep it a secret. There's still a feast next week! "
"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, the four of them returned home. As soon as they pushed open the anti-theft door, they saw Mother Chen working in the kitchen through the glass window.
"Mom!
There's no need to cook, there's food for today! "
As soon as he entered the house, Chen Yu took the dozen or so shopping bags from Chen Yike's hands and waved them at Mother Chen.
"You …" Mother Chen was surprised. "These are leftovers again?"
"Yes, very sumptuous dishes."
"Where did you get it?"
"Today, I bumped into our school's fat principal. That idiot insisted on treating us to a meal. We couldn't refuse, so we went.
These are the leftovers. Take them home. "
Hearing this, Mother Chen's expression changed from confusion to shock to anger. Finally, she picked up a rolling pin.
Following Mother Chen's gaze, Chen Yu noticed Principal Pang and his father sitting on the living room's sofa with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
Thus, in an instant, his expression changed from confusion, to doubt, to shock, and finally to fear …
Meanwhile, Chen Yike, Chen Erke, and Chen Sanke's expressions changed from confusion, to surprise, to pleasant surprise, and finally, to schadenfreude …
Taking advantage of the temporary silence at home, Chen Yike hurriedly pulled out her phone and played a BGM that she felt was very suitable for the occasion.
[The night gradually turns cold, and the prosperous land turns into frost.]
[You look from afar, exhausting all the twilight.]
[Without thinking, it's hard to forget.]
[Yaoyao, the cool peach blossom …]
…
"Crap!
Parents who hit their children are the worst! "
After returning to his bedroom, Chen Yu covered his swollen ear and sat down on the chair in front of his desk, his eyes staring straight ahead.
"There's also that idiot!
I was right to call him an idiot!
Why the hell did he come to my house in the middle of the night!
… "
After cursing for a while, Chen Yu rubbed his ear, which Mother Chen had pinched, and put on the Quantum Reading Glasses. He then picked up a Grade 1 English textbook and started studying.
Only through learning and the acquisition of knowledge can I forget the pain of my body and soul. — Lu Xun.
The next day, Monday:
After Chen Yu sent his three little sisters to school as usual, he did not choose to head to Sixth High. Instead, he carried his bag and hid inside an internet cafe.
"Minors are not allowed to go online."
As soon as Chen Yu pushed open the door and entered the internet cafe, the lady at the cashier's counter greeted him with a sullen expression.
"You can tell that I'm a minor?
I'm already an adult, okay? "
"Come and swipe your ID, then."
"I don't go online, so why should I swipe my ID?"
"What are you doing in an internet cafe if you don't go online?" The lady was confused.
"Can't I come to an internet cafe to study?"
Chen Yu said as he sent the lady a look of contempt. He then grabbed his bag and found an empty seat. He then put on the Quantum Reading Glasses and picked up a Grade 2 English textbook. He then started reading as if there was no one else around him.
The frequency at which he flipped through the book made it impossible for outsiders to tell that he was studying. Rather, it looked more like a form of entertainment for a mentally disabled child …
Buzz!
Buzz … Buzz …
Half an hour later, Chen Yu's phone rang. Hurriedly, he removed his glasses and pulled out his phone. When he saw that it was a call from his form teacher, he immediately accepted the call. "Hello?
Teacher? "
"Why didn't you come to school today?!" the form teacher's roar came from the other side of the phone.
"Why didn't you let me attend class? Why should I go to school?"
"Don't you need training?
Teacher Niu has already come looking for you several times! "
"I'm not going. I'll do whatever I want."
"Where are you now?
What are you doing? "
"I'm studying, of course.
If you don't let me study, I'll just find a place to study by myself, right? "Chen Yu said proudly.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the man sitting beside him suddenly shouted while controlling the mouse, "Zoom in!
Idiot!
Don't you need to save your ultimate moves for the New Year?
Use all your R skills!
Do you even know how to play games?!
Ranking!
Idiot!
Crap! "
Chen Yu: "…"
The form teacher: "… You actually skipped school to go online?!"
"No, I didn't."
"Where are you?!
Tell me!
Which internet cafe are you at? "
"Heh!
Heh! "
Chen Yu expressionlessly disconnected his phone and switched to airplane mode. He then put on the Quantum Reading Glasses and started earnestly flipping through his book …
Only when it was nine in the morning did he temporarily stop studying. He then took out his phone and used the internet cafe's wireless network to open Bilibili's application.
Nine o 'clock was the time for his review video to be uploaded. He wanted to see how his second review video would go.
Due to the success of his first review video, his account, Transdimensional Review, had become a high priority. Hence, after scrolling through the technology section for just a few minutes, his video appeared.
"Rock Hammer!
True Quantum Reading! "
This was the title of his second review video …
"Ah, this name is a little awkward."
Clicking into the video, Chen Yu saw a row of data at the bottom of the video.
Views: 705
Bullet comments: 47
Likes: 50
Coins: 35
It had only been a few minutes since the video was uploaded!
Yet, such data was the foundation left behind by the previous video.
This was how social media worked. If one had a popular video, they would gain a lot of followers.
"Hu."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu immediately clicked play.
