Chapter 742 2 Not Confused 2
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to ask, "Are you cold?"
"Cold?" Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei looked at the bright sun outside the window in the middle of the staircase.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun realized that his words seemed rather strange, asking someone if they were cold on such a hot day.
He thought for a moment and explained, "I mean, you should wear more clothes when you're using air conditioning, so you don't catch a cold."
Meng Yubei glanced at her vest and shorts. How else should she dress in the summer?
However, upon seeing that Zhou Xun, despite his best efforts to conceal it, still had an uneasy look in his eyes, they instantly understood what he was thinking.
Having lived for who knows how long, Meng Yubei wouldn't care about the thoughts of teenage boys. Did she expect to wear a coat in her own home?
I just didn't expect that Zhou Xun, the domineering CEO in the story, would have moments of embarrassment, and that he would have such a serious face at such a young age.
"It's okay, I'm not cold. Go get your homework and come over. I'll go cut some watermelon first."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun could only nod and went back to his own home next door.
After starting high school, he rarely visited other people's homes anymore, except for the Chinese New Year when he came to Meng Yubei's house with his father to pay New Year's greetings.
Although the two families were neighbors, and I was just as lively and active as Meng Yinan when I was a child.
But since his mother passed away, he has become quiet and, like Meng Yubei, doesn't like to go out.
The two were born in the same year and were assigned to the same class after entering high school.
Neither of them were talkative at school, so they didn't talk often, only exchanging greetings when they bumped into each other.
Zhou Xun was used to seeing Meng Yubei, who usually wore a proper school uniform at school.
This was the first time I'd seen her dressed so lightly at home, which is why I was surprised and embarrassed when I saw it.

Zhou Xun and Meng Yubei sat in the living room on the first floor. After doing their homework for more than two hours, Zhou Xun realized that she was writing very fast.
She knew the answers to the questions that required him to think for a while, without him even noticing where he got stuck.
Oh, yes, there was one, it was when she stopped to eat watermelon.
Meng Yubei ate three-quarters of the plate of chilled watermelon she cut, while Zhou Xun only ate a few pieces.
He asked, "You ate ice cream earlier, and then you ate so much watermelon. Won't your stomach hurt?"
"No, my stomach is made of iron," Meng Yubei said with a smile, shaking his head.
Well, seeing that she said that, Zhou Xun didn't say anything more.
He lowered his head and continued looking at the questions, but he still felt that there was a difference in the speed at which the two of them solved the problems.
He always thought he was pretty smart, but she was even smarter. No wonder he could never get first place in any exam and was always several points behind her.
Moreover, he spends a lot of time studying and is very focused on the process, unlike Meng Yubei who is more relaxed.
"I'll go get Meng Yinan to come down and do her homework. Are you still going to do it?" Meng Yubei stood up, no longer intending to write.
Zhou Xun nodded without looking up: "I want to finish this test paper."
“Okay, I’ll have Meng Yinan come and help you with your writing, and you can also tutor him.”
Although Meng Yunan loves to play, her grades are quite good, and she is easy to tutor, so Zhou Xun has no objections.
Upstairs, Meng Yinan saw his sister standing beside him and said with a fawning expression, "Sis, please wait for me for the last five minutes."
"You've exceeded the time limit by 28 minutes. Your parents asked me to supervise you; you can't play games for more than two hours a day," Meng Yubei said, glancing at the time.
"Sis, please be lenient with me. Just give me five more minutes. If you need to buy ice cream or anything else next time, just let me know."
"Four minutes and thirty seconds left."
"Yay, I knew my sister was the best."

ten minutes later--
Hearing the noise, Zhou Xun looked up at the person who was dawdling over with homework in hand: "Is it time to play games?"
"Hey, how come time flies when we're playing games?" Meng Yinan sighed.
"Then start doing your homework. Uncle Meng and Aunt Ye will be back in two and a half hours."
"Brother Zhou Xun, my sister has only been doing her homework for less than two and a half hours, why are you still doing it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun didn't know what to say: "She writes very quickly."
She did write very quickly. In the time it took him to finish one test paper, she could write two and a half, as if she didn't need to think and was just filling in the answers directly.
If I hadn't seen it myself, I would have thought her answer was the same as mine, and I would have thought she just wrote it randomly.
Speaking of this, Meng Yunan felt both proud and aggrieved.
"Right, my sister is really good at this, so no one urges her to do her homework, and my parents are very relieved. She is the good daughter in the family, only I get scolded every day."
"If you work hard and get first place in your grade every year, your aunt and uncle will be at ease with your grades," Zhou Xun said without changing his expression.
Good grades can be improved through hard work, but Meng Yinan is too mischievous and might still get beaten up easily.
He went through the same thing when he was a child, so I can understand.
Meng Yinan suddenly said with envy, "You don't know, my sister's grades used to be in the middle to upper range, just like mine. But after she went to junior high school, it was like she suddenly unlocked her full potential and became a super student."
Is that so? Zhou Xun thought, "She probably didn't pay much attention to her studies when she was in elementary school, and only started to take it seriously when she got to junior high."
“My parents say the same thing, but I feel like my sister has never really taken it seriously. She seems to be able to get first place in the grade with just a little effort. That’s talent. I want that too.”
Zhou Xun shook his head; he decided to continue working on the test paper.
The two were talking about Meng Yubei downstairs, and Meng Yubei overheard their conversation upstairs.
She did indeed come to this world during the summer when the original owner was entering junior high school.
The original owner was born into a middle-class family. They lived in a self-built house. Although they were not very wealthy, they were still quite well-off.
The parents had a very good relationship and only had two children, Meng Yubei and Meng Yunan.
Meng Yubei is quiet, while Meng Yunan is mischievous. The two complement each other perfectly. Although Meng Yunan usually gets beaten up, the two siblings actually have a very good relationship.
When she arrived, she discovered that her younger brother had been a chatterbox since he was little, the kind who could chat with anyone for a while. Although he was mischievous, he still knew his limits.
However, as the older sister, the original owner was able to suppress her younger brother through bloodline.
Meng Yunan was not afraid of his parents' beatings and scoldings; even though he was beaten every day, he still smiled and joked.
But she was a little afraid of upsetting her older sister, and this fear intensified after her sister arrived. This was not only due to the suppression of her bloodline, but also the suppression of her strength.
This time, Meng Yubei has arrived in the world of the TV series "Twenty Your Life On".
The story mainly revolves around four female college students and the series of setbacks they experience after graduation and entering society, but ultimately they gain love and growth in both life and career.
