In the end, the word 'daughter' was left unsettled.

But Ye Zhou still cherished this small three-wheeler. It was just a little...

Over the weekend, the sun disappeared for nearly a week. The sun finally hung in the blue sky and the rain washed away the stains. The small red pedicab was shining brightly in the sun. Ye Zhou was hanging his clothes to dry on the balcony, and his peripheral vision swept across the smear of red in the vehicle shed. He discussed it over with the only other person in the dorm and the other owner of the pedicab, Shang Jin. "Do you think the pedicab's color is a bit not so beautiful?"

Shang Jin put down the book he was reading, leaned back on the chair and said, "You're really taking it as raising a daughter and also want to change her clothes?"

"Can you not say this!!" Ye Zhou was ashamed and furious. "I'm talking to you seriously. Good or bad, we're using this car until graduation, and there's more than two years left."

"Then repaint it." Shang Jin finished talking and turned his neck to continue reading.

"So you agree?" Ye Zhou finished hanging the last piece of clothes, put on his coat, took out the hat behind Shang Jin's clothes and said, "Go, let's go buy the paint, the spraying kind."

"Ah??" Shang Jin hadn't reacted yet and was pulled out of the dormitory by Ye Zhou.

"It just happens to be a fine day today. We can go out and also bask in the sun."

Shang Jin held his forehead, rescued his hat from Ye Zhou's hand, resigned himself to his fate and followed Ye Zhou downstairs. Halfway through, he suddenly realized: clearly he was the most afraid of trouble, but now this kind of troublesome thing and troublesome person was following him, and he unexpectedly didn't even imagine a conflict. Indeed, he was beginning to become less like himself.

And Ye Zhou...

Shang Jin looked at the person who had descended downstairs in front of him and doubtfully said, "Don't you dislike letting others see you and me walking together?"

Reminded by Shang Jin, Ye Zhou suddenly found that originally, he'd fearfully avoided Shang Jin as much as possible, but now he actually took the initiative to pull him out. Not only that, but he also bought a car with him.

What did he experience during these two months??

When did he and Shang Jin become so harmonious??

"Why don't you talk?" The person who'd always been incessantly chattering beside his ear suddenly becoming quietly, Shang Jin was a little not used to it. "Your suggestion, so you drive."

When his spirit returned, the two people had already arrived in front of the pedicab.

Shang Jin got into the back of the car first, and Ye Zhou also didn't want to waste time bickering about previous matters. He looked at Shang Jin and said angrily, "You're lazy to death!"

Two people drove the car for half an hour, went to the nearby building materials town and bought a lot of do-it-yourself spray paint. When passing by the supermarket, Shang Jin knocked on the window and said, "Want to go into the supermarket to buy work clothes? Winter clothes aren't easy to wash..."

Ye Zhou waved his hand and said, "What kind of work clothes are needed? When the work is finished, work clothes also need to be washed. Just go to the grocery store and buy two disposable raincoats. Use them and throw them away, no need to wash and also convenient."

Shang Jin just didn't want to wash clothes. Hearing Ye Zhou said this, there was also no objection.

Two people spent five yuan in the grocery store and bought two disposable raincoats. It was called a raincoat, but it was actually a large plastic bag with sleeves.

On a Saturday afternoon, in a very remote corner of A Uni, Ye Zhou and Shang Jin wore newspaper caps, blue raincoats and disposable gloves to paint the little red car.

Ye Zhou originally did this on a whim, and he had no idea what kind of design to spray. With no structure in his mind, and on top of that he couldn't come to a meeting of the minds with Shang Jin, so the result was that the two people freely played for a bout and the whole body became a multi-colored, stream of consciousness painting.

"Why is there a kind of feeling that the fresh daughter has been dressed up as a beggar? Hey, hey, why did you spray on your last name??"

Shang Jin sprayed the last horizontal stroke and casually threw the empty can into the plastic bag. "Lest someone steals the car."

"A thief wouldn't steal it. He'd be worried that he won't be able to resell it." Ye Zhou, not to be outdone, also freely painted a "Ye" on the body of the car.

After this time, the little three-wheeler that had been hiding its identity amidst the elderly mobility vehicles rose up above the others, and in one leap, became a famous car. Everyday on the road, it was welcomed by countless onlookers taking pictures.

During that time, A Uni student's circle of friends had this style of painting.

Classmate 1: Rumors aren't as good as having one. Today, finally met the "Shang Ye" and took a group photo as souvenir 【Photo】

Classmate 2: Specially rushed from the Literature Institute to the Finance Faculty just to see the legendary "Shang Ye" 【Photo】

Classmate 3: In order to shoot "Shang Ye", almost rode my bike into the lawn, but fortunately, finally took the photo 【Photo】

Classmate 4: I only heard that there was such a famous car in the school. I didn't even know that the drive was so handsome!!! 【Photo】

At this time, Ye Zhou, one of the owners of the "Shang Ye Number" being discussed, was sitting beside Shang Jin, staring at him using his computer to check the results of the midterm exams.

Shang Jin completely didn't feel Ye Zhou's urgency. He slowly entered his student number into the school website. "Isn't it just the midterm exams? Need to go so far?"

"Cut the crap, quickly check it!" If it weren't for not knowing the login password for Shang Jin's student number, he would have helped him to check it. "It came out!"

Ye Zhou looked at the screen in disbelief. From the beginning to the end of the midterm exams, he had stayed with Shang Jin all day because of his foot injury, so he basically understood how Shang Jin reviewed. So he was very clear that, compared to him who had raced against the clock to review the week before the exams, Shang Jin couldn't be called reviewing at all.

Beside reading the books before the exam, he was either reading books borrowed from the library, practicing characters or playing games.

However, when the results came out, Shang Jin still exceeded him in every subject.

Was this the so-called casually taking the exams???

Ye Zhou, sitting in the swivel chair, moved his seat back. It could be said that he was very upset in his heart.

If Shang Jin had diligently reviewed as he had, and his grades were better than his, then he'd also recognize it.

But on the contrary, Shang Jin casually testing was still better than his many days of striving.

God was really unfair: not only did he give Shang Jin a good appearance, but also gave him a good brain.

Ye Zhou lay on the table and doodled on the paper with a pen.

Shang Jin looked back and, seeing Ye Zhou lying soft as though boneless on the table, felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.

Ye Zhou was the energetic Ye Zhou and shouldn't be in such a state of malaise.

Then, Shang Jin heard his own voice. "How about this: afterwards, whoever test better would be the one to invite the other to eat?"

Ye Zhou suddenly propped himself up. "I accept your challenge! Just wait, at the end of the term, it'd definitely be me who'd be inviting you to eat!!"

Wen Renxu and Liu Yutian who had just returned, heard Ye Zhou's statement and was unclear.

What's going on in this world: there's people who'd fight to invite others to eat??

Worthy of being scholarship people: buying cars, inviting others to eat, all without blinking their eyes!
