Why is Miss Song here too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with us,” Xu Qingzhou said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” Guo Zi looked puzzled—was the school’s white moonlight really going to an internet cafe? Song Yao checked the time and said, “Wait a bit longer; Jiahui will be here in three minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An internet cafe? I’ve never even been inside one.” Soon, Ding Jiahui arrived, visibly excited, clearly looking forward to the internet cafe—but also a little worried: “Will we get caught by the police?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Zi had experience: “Usually not. If there’s a check today, we probably wouldn’t even get a machine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if there is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it’d be bad. You’ve got that look—you don’t want to go anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two girls now present, the group became lively; they splurged on a private room with exactly four computers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read! {\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home, a faint aroma of stewed pork ribs lingered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s my dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wutong Community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao and Ding Jiahui didn’t play games; they browsed dramas online. After watching a while, they simply watched Xu Qingzhou and Guo Zi play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All these are small games—take a look and see if anything interests you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Went to get the cake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he helped her turn on the computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao was still observing the internet cafe’s environment, thinking the smell was truly awful—smoke, sweat, and the stench of cheap air freshener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou went to the kitchen to help out. Half an hour later, Xu Shou came in carrying a cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Jiahui stared at Guo Zi’s screen, tenser than Guo Zi himself: “Oh no, Guo Zi, can you even play? Xu Qingzhou already got two kills!” Guo Zi had no reply—he wasn’t good to begin with, and now with Ding Jiahui watching, he didn’t even know how to operate anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two girls present, they didn’t play long—just an hour and a half—then left the internet cafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou turned on his computer and realized Song Yao sat there dumbly, having never been to an internet cafe before and not even knowing how to power on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou topped up fifty, got fifty free, and watched as Guo Zi used his own ID to log in—Guo Zi was envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao sat next to Xu Qingzhou; Ding Jiahui tried to sit next to Song Yao, so the two boys were separated by the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Qingzhou’s words, she froze—was he just leaving her behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a burst of static, the security door unlocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Jiahui shook her head: “No, it feels even more thrilling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou didn’t say they were going to the internet cafe—he knew he’d get scolded for hours: “Just hung out with Guo Zi and the others outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four parted at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking fifteen minutes, Xu Qingzhou reached the door and realized he’d forgotten his keys. He knocked twice: “Mom, I’m back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s all this noise? The whole hallway hears you. How old are you, going out without your keys? And why are you coming home so late after an exam?” Wang Xiaping glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to protest, but Xu Qingzhou had already shouted for Guo Zi to log in; asking more would seem petty, so she and Ding Jiahui turned to studying what was on the computer screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At six p.m., fragrant dishes were already on the Xu family’s dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, twice-cooked pork—Wang Xiaping had prepared over a dozen dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Qingzhou and Wang Xiaping brought out the rice, Xu Shou walked in with three glass cups, smiling: “Let’s have a drink today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiaping was about to protest—your son’s still so young!—but then suddenly remembered: Xu Qingzhou had turned eighteen today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",636,"2026-06-20T21:06:39.533Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","63263d319ddbc4e4c998e32aa5fa1e4f0d1439760649af3f0388701edf1a9557","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-39","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-37",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
