The Exiled Young Master's Return
Group Duties

Finished with his food instead of directly returning to class, Zou Chen actually participated in the chat of five students whose existence was never considered by other students.

“See the five of them! Their existence is the opposite of ours. When all students do not consider our existence, the five of them actually become the center of attention.” Jennie, the woman in front of Zou Chen pointed towards the five students who were in the limelight of the other students.

“They are children from distinguished families who only lost to the Ling family, so it is natural that they became the center of attention,” said Hans, the man sitting near Zou Chen.

“Compared to us who are just ordinary people, of course we will never be able to feel what they feel,” said Lan Hua, the woman who from earlier often looked at Zou Chen's face.

The entire names of the five students nearby already Zou Chen knew. In addition to Jennie, Hans and Lan Hua, there was Jerry and Airin who had been more silent since then.

“What's so good about being the center of attention like them? Everywhere someone is watching. Hah, instead it will just make our lives uncomfortable?” Zou Chen said that while staring one by one at the faces of the five students nearby.

“In retrospect, what you said is true,” said Hans who did not like the situation where many people were paying attention to him.

“More fun as now. Living life quietly without anyone noticing our existence.” Lin Hua said as she showed her happy smile to her old friend and new friend.

“The break time is almost up, now we should go back to class instead of coming late and being chased out by the lecturer who taught, now we should go back to class rather than come late and be expelled out by the lecturer who taught,” said Jennie who just remembered who the lecturer will teach at the second hour.

Since Zou Chen and the five of them were in the same class, so the six of them walked together towards the class accompanied by the cynical gazes of the other students who passed by them along the way.

“A group of students from the lower caste gathered, it really ruins the scenery in this place.” One of the female students insulted Zou Chen and his five friends as they passed each other on the street.

“Notice it and keep going! The wait will only make us late to enter the classroom,”, said Zou Chen who looks indifferent to the existence of students who just insulted him and his five friends.

“Your face is pretty decent, but unfortunately you are just as poor as them, if only you were rich maybe I would consider you to be one of my girlfriends,” said the student who just insulted Zou Chen and his five friends.

"Lucky I for not being one of your girlfriends,” said Zou Chen indifferently, then he resumed the journey together with his five friends.

“Based on the poor, how dare you say that to me! Just wait, I'll make a calculation with you.” The student shouted furiously after hearing Zou Chen's words.

“For women size with standard face, she is too confident with her appearance.” Casually, Zou Chen said that when his five friends could only shake their heads when they saw the behavior of one of their friends.

“You don't seem to know that the student just entered the top ten beauty ranks at this University!,” said Jennie with eyes aimed at Zou Chen's curved lips making a thin smile.

“If such a woman belongs to the top ten beauty ranks in this University, it should be you and them both in the top three beauties in this University.” Zou Chen stared alternately at Jennie and the other two women.

“In addition, the wealth of the family also affects the beauty of women in this University. The richer the woman's family of origin, even if her face was destroyed, she would still be beautiful in the eyes of those who judged everything from treasures,” Lin Hua said just before they entered the classroom.

Their conversation stopped after being in class, and shortly after they sat down at each lecturer's place and immediately began the second hour of the course.

“Mother will give you group assignments and each group will only have two members. Due to the number of students in this class there are twenty-five, there will be one group of three, and I have determined anyone who will be in the same group.”

The lecturer mentioned the names of the students in turn, and after five minutes passed she began handing out sheets of paper tasks that had to be done in groups. “Remember, collect that task tomorrow!”

Finished saying that, he asked all students to sign the attendance book in the eyes of his lecture.

Ling Meilin who had just finished signing the attendance book, she then walked up to Zou Chen who became her group's first friend. “We better work on it now! Coincidentally my family residence is not too far from this place, so we can work on it there.”

“You are from the Ling family, are you sure you are taking me to your family residence? Better we do it in the park which is located in the middle between the University and the residence of your family.” Zou Chen had yet to wish to visit the Ling family residence, therefore as much as possible he would reject Ling Meilin's invitation.

Zou Chen knew that his little sister missed him a lot, but it was not time for him to reveal who he really was.

“Wait until I'm done replying to their deeds! After I reply to their deeds, I will accompany you on a walk like duludulu,” said Zou Chen in his thoughts.

“Halooo... Did you hear what I just said?” Ling Meilin waved her hand in front of Zou Chen's face.

As he waved his hands in front of Zou Chen's face, Ling Meilin felt that Zou Chen was her brother. “When his two eyes don't blink, he's getting more and more similar to big brother Chen.” Ling Meilin nodded with a rumbling chest feeling the longing for her brother's figure.

Zou Chen who was next to him felt something strange about Ling Meilin who suddenly went silent while holding her chest.

“Do you get sick? If it hurts, you can go straight home and let me do the job!” said Zou Chen feeling worried about Ling Meilin's state.

“I'm fine. Better now we go to the park and do the chores!” Ling Meilin gasped as she said that.

Zou Chen simply nodded his head in return, then he walked hand in hand towards the park which was only a kilometer away from the University.

Fifteen minutes on foot, they finally reached the park as the day began to turn night.

Without wasting any time on anything useless, the two immediately took on a task that in just ten minutes they were able to complete.

“What is group duty? Isn't this too easy to name as a group task? It should have given the lecturer a more difficult task than this!” Zou Chen complained with the group task that he had so easily completed.

“For us it is too easy, but not necessarily others also consider that this task is too easy, but I agree with you that this task is not worthy of being a group task, as well,” says Ling Meilin who just finished tidying up her stationery.

“There is still thirty minutes before the sun actually sets. Incidentally there is an ice cream seller, do you want me to buy it? At least my allowance is still able to buy you one of the most expensive escrim in that place.” Zou Chen pointed to the ice cream sales venue not far from the park.

Following the direction that Zou Chen pointed, Ling Meilin smiled after she had a way to convince him that Zou Chen was really her brother or not.

“Buy me the most delicious peanut-flavored ice cream in the place,” Ling Meilin said with a smile on her face.

Zou Chen just went to buy the ice cream Ling Meilin wanted.

Not long ago Zou Chen returned but there was no bean-flavored ice cream in his hands, but rather there were only two chocolate-flavored ice cream.

“The seller ran out of peanut-flavored ice cream, instead I bought him chocolate.” Zou Chen handed the ice cream in his right hand to Ling Meilin.

Hearing Zou Chen's words, Ling Meilin suddenly frowned in surprise. “Not that place only sells chocolate flavored ice cream, then how can he say that the place is out of peanut-flavored ice cream?” Ling Meilin was deep in her confusion.

Just a moment stuck in his confusion, Ling Meilin returned a smile after she found an answer that instantly dispelled her confusion.

Ling Meilin quickly got up from her seat, then she hugged Zou Chen from behind. “You will never be able to lie to me, big brother Chen!”
