After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1197: A Dark, Windy Night – A Violent Scolding for Li Yu’an

She looked like she was about to fall apart.

Zhouzhou looked at her with deep sympathy, unsure of what words to say to comfort her.

At this moment, any comforting word seemed so inadequate, so powerless.

All she could do was hug her and say, "If you want to cry, just cry."

Li Yuxin, who had initially held back her tears, now completely broke down.

Unlike her previous quiet tears, this time she sobbed loudly, as if trying to cry out all the grievances she had been holding inside.

Zhouzhou felt even more distressed as she listened.

She didn't say anything, just gently patted her back, silently comforting her over and over again.

Li Yuxin cried for a full half hour, until her throat became hoarse and no more tears came. Only then did she stop.

She slowly pulled away from Zhouzhou, looking at the wet spot on her shirt where she had cried. She felt a sudden sense of guilt.

"Sorry, Zhouzhou, your shirt..."

Zhouzhou glanced down, casually waving her hand. "It's fine, it's nothing. The weather is warm, it'll dry soon."

Hearing this, Li Yuxin almost cried again.

Zhouzhou held her hand and after thinking for a moment, spoke up, "Yuxin, why don't I pay your tuition for you? You don't need to work anymore. Consider this money as a loan, and you can pay me back once you're in university."

"Right now, this is the most important time in your life. Achieving high scores is the most important thing. You don't need to waste time on this."

Li Yuxin thought about it for a moment but shook her head.

"No."

She said, "I want to remember this year for the rest of my life. Zhouzhou, you've already helped me so much. This time, I want to get through it on my own."

She didn't want to rely on anyone anymore.

Although she knew Zhouzhou was genuinely good to her, and would never change,

she trusted her.

But deep down, she was clear on one thing: she didn't want to depend on anyone again. She wanted to push herself harder.

Because of Zhouzhou, she had survived ten years. This time, she wanted to rely on herself.

Her voice was still hoarse from crying, but it was firm.

She smiled, "Zhouzhou, don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Working hasn't affected my studies, that's why I've continued."

"And by the way, one of my classmates' mom asked me to tutor her kid. She offered me more money than what I make working at the restaurant. I'll teach her, and I can review for myself at the same time, which will be even better."

This was the truth, she wasn't lying to Zhouzhou.

Her National College Entrance Examination scores had always been excellent, and she could easily get into a top-tier university.

When she first entered the school, everyone was curious about why she was repeating the year. They initially thought she wanted to attend A University, but later found out about her parents' actions.

That was because her mom had caused a scene, not wanting her to repeat the year. Everyone knew about it, and it spread.

People were left speechless.

The student who asked her to tutor was her deskmate. She often helped her explain problems, and her deskmate's grades improved quickly. She didn't want to take advantage for free, so she told her mom about it.

Her mom was happy to agree, as long as it could help her child improve.

Moreover, she was quite sympathetic to Li Yuxin and wanted to help her.

So the deal was settled. However, because the restaurant was so busy, they hadn't found a replacement for her yet, so Li Yuxin continued working.

It seemed that in the next few days, they would find someone to take over, and she wouldn't be so tired anymore.

She spoke casually, but Zhouzhou knew it wasn't that easy.

Their study progress was different, and preparing lessons was tiring too.

But seeing the light in her eyes, Zhouzhou didn't know what to say. She could only hold her hand and sigh, "Yuxin, I think you've become stronger."

She used to be so gentle, so soft, with hardly any temper. Zhouzhou often worried that she would be bullied.

But now, even though she had been bullied, she hadn't been crushed. On the contrary, it seemed like she had drawn strength from it. She now radiated a sense of determination and confidence.

It was beautiful.

Li Yuxin took a deep breath and smiled at her. "I guess I have to thank them for that."

Though they hurt her, they made her wake up sooner.

Zhouzhou looked at her face and said, "Yuxin, there's going to be a really great future ahead of you."

She saw that her wealth palace was brighter, and she was radiating a glow that wasn't there before.

It seemed like this was the so-called "jade doesn't become fine without being carved."

She had always been a piece of raw jade, and the more it was polished, the better it would become.

Once she got through this tribulation, her path would be much wider.

Li Yuxin nodded firmly. "I believe you. You're a little fortune teller."

She said this with a smile in her voice.

Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin. "Of course! I'm Master Fugui!"

The two of them exchanged a smile, and after sending Li Yuxin back to her dorm, Zhouzhou left.

But instead of going home directly, she went to Li Yuxin's house.

Her family lived on the third floor, which was no problem for Zhouzhou. She quickly made her way up.

Looking at the soundly sleeping Li Yu'an, she became infuriated. With one powerful slap, she woke him up.

Li Yu'an jolted awake, his eyes snapping open. He frowned in displeasure. "Who is it?!"

When he saw it was Zhouzhou, he immediately flinched, his voice becoming weak, and a sycophantic smile appeared on his face. "Zhouzhou, what's brings you here?"

He hurriedly grabbed a chair, bent down, and said, "Please, take a seat."

Now, he was about 1.8 meters tall, but in front of Zhouzhou, he felt as small as a weakling and didn't dare act arrogantly.

The trauma from childhood was always the most vivid.

Li Yu'an would never forget that from the moment he met Zhouzhou, his fate began to change.

He used to be the pampered child of the family, and his sister was easy to bully.

But afterward, as soon as he dared to lay a finger on her, he'd get a smack on the backside from some invisible force.

That was Zhouzhou's doing.

And aside from that, she also had the terrifying Qin family's lawyer team behind her, often warning him with jail time. He was thoroughly scared of her now.

Even as an adult, he dared not mess with her.

Seeing his pitiful state, Zhouzhou felt disgusted and kicked him in the leg.

Li Yu'an collapsed to his knees with a thud, nearly breaking his knees. It hurt so badly that he wanted to scream, but when Zhouzhou glared at him, he immediately bit his lip and held back the scream, only sucking in air, gritting his teeth, and tears flooding his face.

It was an eye-watering sight.

Zhouzhou gave him a disdainful look and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to get beaten again? How dare you ask Yuxin to buy you a house and a car? Are you tired of living?"

Hearing this, Li Yu'an immediately shook his head. "I wouldn't dare!"

He looked very wronged as he spoke, "I don't know what's wrong with my parents. Suddenly, they told me to take all the money my sister earns."

Zhouzhou stared at him intently. Seeing he wasn't lying, she asked again, "What do you really feel? Tell the truth."

Li Yu'an looked at her and muttered, "Feels pretty good..."
