Black and White Agreement
Without waiting for Wang Li to complete her sentence, Chu Ning came up with something even more ruthless, playing right into Wang Li’s and Ye Ting’s hands.
“I didn’t say that. You insisted on doing this. Everyone heard it, right? She said that she would quit school if she lost!”
At that moment, the bell rang, signalling the end of class. The final morning lesson had ended. The math teacher took the opportunity to announce the end of the class. He didn’t want to get involved in this mess anymore.
“Well, if you don’t believe me, I’ll write an agreement right now.” Chu Ning knew what the other party was thinking. It just so happened that she was short of money at the moment. This was an opportunity to earn money.
“Lili, don’t be like this. Chu Ning is my good friend. I can help her in private, but don’t talk about her like that. It’s not easy for her either.”
After saying that, she gently tugged at the corner of Wang Lili’s shirt and looked at her pitifully.
“Oh my, my little Ting’er, you’re just too soft-hearted, that’s why you’ve been bullied by her all this while! What’s so bad about this? Let her know that there’s always someone better out there; if something doesn’t belong to you, don’t try to force it!”
Wang Li’s words were very harsh, and the sarcasm in her words was self-evident.
Chu Ning ignored her. She quickly wrote down two agreements and handed one of them to Ye Ting.
“Here, take it. Don’t say that I go back on my word.”
Initially, Chu Ning was thinking about how to earn money. Now that the opportunity had presented itself to her in front of everyone. She did not think that Wang Li would be able to deny it.
As for whether she was worried about losing, other than the Chinese and English essays where she could not be assured of full marks, how well she did for the other subjects would depend on her mood.
She was sure that even if Ye Ting had a standard answer, she would not go too far in the exam. And Ye Ting was certain that the Chu Ning from her previous life was only an above average student with an average IQ…
“It’s a pity that I don’t feel any sense of accomplishment at all after defeating you kids.” Chu Ning had no choice for she was in the body of an 18-year-old girl.
“There are three days left until the next monthly exam. I suggest you take out the questions you previously answered incorrectly and take a look at them this afternoon so you can learn from your mistakes. If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher or representatives of each subject. Alright, everyone be quiet. You can do your self-study from now on.”
In the afternoon, the form teacher, Lin Hao, had a quick class meeting. He walked to Chu Ning’s side and lowered his head to whisper into her ear, “Come to my office.”
In the office.
The form teacher, Lin Hao, pointed to a stool and said, “Have a seat. Let’s have a chat. Don’t be nervous.”
“Okay, teacher. Why did you call me here?”
Chu Ning knew that although Lin Hao looked young, to be a teacher in this school was not a simple matter.
“How is it? Are you feeling better?” Lin Hao asked with a smile.
“Thanks for your concern, I’m fine. I can eat, sleep, and study.”
Chu Ning’s answer was watertight.
“Haha, student Chu, I realized that your personality has changed a lot since you came back. Well, this change is good.”
Lin Hao was implying something.
“Then how was I before? Teacher, people change. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Like me, I have seven brothers overnight.”
Chu Ning thought, “I even came here from a different world.”
“That’s true. I called you here in the hope that you don’t spend too much time in your head and build a good relationship with your classmates. The most important thing now is to study hard. If your family has any difficulties, you can tell us. As long as you ask, I will try my best to fight for you.”
Lin Hao said seriously.
“Thank you for your concern, teacher. I will take note of it.”
Chu Ning knew in her heart that Lin Hao was well-aware of all the goings-on in the class. However, he didn’t want to say it out loud, so he only reminded Chu Ning indirectly to be careful. If she were still the same Chu Ning from her previous life, she might not have been able to hear what Lin Hao was hinting at. Perhaps, with her arrogant nature, she might have thought that the class teacher, Lin Hao, was out to get her…
In her opinion, calling her to the office in front of so many people was embarrassing enough. How would she be able to internalize his kind reminders?
