Zhou Siyu arrived at school early in the morning, and she had an extra trick up her sleeve. When it was almost time for the exam, she took the opportunity to use the restroom, purposely passing by Shen Mianmian’s exam room entrance on the way.
Seeing Shen Mianmian sitting inside in high spirits, Zhou Siyu immediately ground her teeth in anger.
Just from her complexion, Shen Mianmian must have had a good day yesterday.
Last night, they had waited until it was dark and the school was closed before going home, and this morning, both uncle and aunt had intercepted her halfway, yet that damn girl still managed to run to school.
Did she tunnel her way out from underground?
"Zhou Siyu, what are you doing standing here? Aren’t you going to your classroom to prepare for the exam?" On his way back from the restroom to his office, the principal saw Zhou Siyu standing at the door looking inside. His expression changed, and he scolded her with dissatisfaction.
This student, he used to like her quite a bit, but after some incidents, he gradually formed an opinion about Zhou Siyu.
The child might be young, but she was far too scheming.
Zhou Siyu was startled and hurriedly explained, "My sister didn’t come home yesterday, so I came to check on her."
The principal glanced toward the classroom and said, "Isn’t she sitting there just fine? You just need to take care of yourself."
Her face flushed with the principal’s words, feeling humiliated, she bit her lip and ran off.
The exam was about to start, and she had no way to tell her aunt that Shen Mianmian was here; she could only go take the exam first.
Shen Mianmian watched Zhou Siyu run away and couldn’t help but snicker. She had seen Zhou Siyu standing there earlier but simply didn’t want to deal with her.
Right now, the most important thing was the exam. As for the rest, she would deal with it after the exams. The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net
Once a bird flew out of its cage, catching it again was no easy feat.
There were only two subjects to test in the morning, which was relatively easy for Shen Mianmian. This batch of exams was neither simple nor difficult. Although the results had not yet been released, Shen Mianmian already had a rough idea.
After finishing the last subject, she turned in her paper early, just as before. Not long after she did, Lu Siyuan followed suit and handed in his paper.
He caught up with Shen Mianmian and asked, "Were you comfortable staying at the hotel last night? Weren’t you scared being alone?"
A young girl staying out was considered unsafe in Lu Siyuan’s eyes.
"I didn’t stay at the hotel; I stayed at Brother He’s house." In Shen Mianmian’s view, Lu Siyuan was just a little brat, so she didn’t purposely keep it from him.
"You stayed at Brother He’s house?" Lu Siyuan raised his voice, clearly surprised, "How did Brother He take you to his place?"
"He was worried it wouldn’t be safe for me to stay alone at the hotel." Shen Mianmian casually explained, then steered the topic towards business, "It’s best for you not to come to the city these next few days. My parents will definitely be following you. I’ll make arrangements here first. Once the shop opens, then you can come."
As she spoke, she gave him a phone number, "This is Brother He’s phone number. If anything comes up, contact me by phone. I’ll find a place to move into in the next couple of days. Then I’ll bring Xiaocui into the city to live with me."
"Okay." Lu Siyuan was not too happy to hear that he wouldn’t see her for a few days, but in order to keep Shen Jianhua and his wife from discovering their shop, it had to be this way, "Take good care of yourself in the city. Don’t run around unnecessarily. Spend money where it needs to be spent. If it’s not enough, I can lend you some."
"Good brother." Shen Mianmian’s eyes crinkled into crescents, and she gave him a sharp pat on the shoulder.
