26 Struggle (1/2)

In the afternoon, after school, Wan Chao also rushed home.

There was only an hour and a half left before the evening self-study. She had to go back and accompany Bai Zhexi to eat dinner before coming back for the evening self-study.

Since she said that she would be back during mealtimes, Bai Zhexi just happened to serve the meal when Wan Chao returned home.

The pickled cucumber had been completely pickled, and there were two big bowls of it.

Wan Chao asked her about the cucumber sauce she had sent to the Wu family's noodle shop.

”Don't worry, that lady boss said she didn't expect us to remember their joke, so I gave her the can. Seeing that we are sincere, the Lady Boss ordered another catty of cucumber sauce. Three days later, we will send four catties of pickled cucumber to their house. The Lady Boss is quite a nice person. ”

Wan Chao nodded her head, thinking that this was not on account of the free canned cucumber sauce.

After dinner, Wan Chao hurried back to school.

During the evening class, the homeroom teacher would occasionally come by to scare off the students who didn't want to study well. She paid special attention to Wan Chao.

She saw that Wan Chao's desk was covered with a math textbook, a math exercise book, and a rough draft of a math book. Wan Chao was frowning with a serious expression as she wrote down the math formulas very quickly.

Teacher Zhu nodded to herself and left without bothering her.

The evening self-study was two hours. For two hours, Wan Chao lowered her head and studied diligently, ignoring the surrounding people around her. Before the self-study bell rang, she had successfully solved her physics homework and two math problems.

As soon as the bell rang, Wan Chao packed her bag and left the classroom without a second's delay.

Liu Li, who had been paying attention to Wan Chao in the classroom, heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Wan Chao would go find the teacher or the principal, or say something that would embarrass her in front of everyone.

Suddenly, Wan Chao, who had already left the classroom, appeared in her line of sight, making Liu Li's heart beat like a drum. She didn't know what Wan Chao wanted to do.

Wan Chao walked straight to Liu Li and coldly said, ”Remember to bring fifteen yuan with you tomorrow morning.” With that, she left the place.

The surrounding students looked at Liu Li. Liu Li's face was burning. She felt like she had been slapped by Wan Chao in front of everyone.

After gritting her teeth, she lowered her head to pack her things and hurriedly left the classroom.

When she left the classroom, fearing that she would run into Wan Chao, she did not rush down the stairs. Instead, she ran from one end of the corridor to the other and descended the stairs from the other.

She was afraid that Wan Chao would be hiding a stick like she did at noon. She didn't know when Chao would jump out and hit her with the stick, but she was afraid.

This afternoon and at night, she secretly observed Wan Chao. Indeed, she was different now, she used to curl up into a ball, wishing that no one could see her. Now, Wan Chao's back was always straight, like a sharp treasured sword standing upright in the classroom, making people unable to ignore her.

When she got home in the evening, Bai Zhexi was still making the soy sauce. Wan Chao said that she should rest early, and then she entered the room.

From her room, she pulled out her math lesson from junior high and continued to study.

At eleven o'clock, Bai Zhexi packed up her things, saw that the light in her daughter's room was still on, and knocked on the door.

”Chao'er, rest early. You'll need to study again tomorrow.”
