Mei Shu shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Little did she know that Zhou Li overheard this unintentional remark.
During lunch break, Zhou Li unexpectedly approached Mei Shu with her lunchbox in hand and said, “Hey, lately, Brother Lu Yan has been inviting me to his house every evening to tutor me. Do you want to join us?”
Mei Shu glanced at her indifferently, lacking enthusiasm as she replied, “No need. I don’t have anything left to catch up on.”
Zhou Li was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a direct rejection. She showed a hint of confusion on her face and asked, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Why should I be angry?” Mei Shu said nonchalantly, “Zhou Li, don’t treat everyone as your imaginary rival. I don’t have the luxury to think about such unnecessary emotions when the college entrance exam is just around the corner.”
Zhou Li blushed after being scolded by Mei Shu, and for a while, she couldn’t find words to respond. She simply turned and left with her lunchbox.
With no more unexpected interruptions, Mei Shu continued to eat her lunch in the classroom while taking the opportunity to review a few more vocabulary words.
At the moment, Chinese was the subject that posed the most difficulty for her. She could memorize other subjects through rote learning, but Chinese required experience and practice. She wanted to remember as many passages as possible, whether they were from the textbook or rare words she encountered in practice exams.
Only then could she confidently achieve an excellent score in the Chinese exam during the college entrance exam.
A few students in the classroom were also having their lunch there to save time for studying.
Mei Shu had been friendly with her classmates at school recently. Whenever someone asked her a question, she would patiently answer, explaining things thoroughly and making it more understandable than the teachers did.
Over time, everyone was willing to discuss their studies with her.
Today was no exception during lunch break.
Mei Shu was in the middle of memorizing a complex and difficult passage when a bold classmate approached her with a math problem.
Mei Shu patiently set aside her textbook and started explaining the problem.
However, as they were only halfway through the problem, the classroom door was suddenly knocked on, and an unexpected person appeared at the entrance.
The student who had been focused on Mei Shu’s explanation was shocked to see this person. He stared at her with wide eyes and took a while to recover. He pointed to the doorway and stammered, “Y-You, why are you here? Didn’t the school say you were expelled?”
Mei Mu, with a backpack on her back and swollen, bruised eyes from crying, stared at Mei Shu resentfully. “I wasn’t expelled from school. Starting today, I’m returning to the class to study with all of you.”
The students who were still in the classroom couldn’t care less about their lunches now. They looked at Mei Mu with curiosity and asked, “How do you still have the nerve to come to school?”
“You!” Mei Mu obviously didn’t expect to be treated this way in school one day. Her eyes turned deep red, and she retorted, “I haven’t done anything wrong, so of course, I can come to school! If you don’t believe me, go ask the teacher!” “Do I look like 1 have a lot of free time?” The classmate who had only momentarily shifted their focus to Mei Mu quickly returned to eating his meal, not caring about the situation.
Mei Mu was infuriated. She never thought she would be treated like this when she returned to school. She walked up to Mei Shu and said hatefully, “Don’t think you can easily win against me! If you have the guts, let’s compare our scores in the next exam!”
Mei Shu sighed and said, “You relied on an old lady in her seventies to cry and plead in the teacher’s office to get the chance to return to school. What’s there for you to be so proud of?”
“How do you know?” Mei Mu panicked and looked around at her classmates. Realizing she had slipped up, she quickly covered her mouth and said, “You, you’re making baseless accusations!”
“Mei Mu, everyone here isn’t foolish. Should I help you go outside and ask if any students saw an elderly lady just coming out of the teacher’s office during lunchtime?”
After saying this, Mei Shu finished her meal in a few bites and prepared to go to the water room outside to clean her lunchbox.
Mei Mu turned slightly to block her path and said, “Do you really have to be so ruthless to me? Do you think I have no way to deal with you?”
“If you have any way, feel free to try,” Mei Shu said disdainfully.
Mei Shu shifted her gaze away from Mei Mu, pushed past her shoulder, and left the classroom.
Mei Mu took a deep breath, pretending to be calm, and returned to her seat.
She took out an exam paper and started working on it.
She had heard about Mei Shu’s good performance in the previous exam, so she couldn’t afford to take it lightly this time.
She had to win against Mei Shu in the next exam in order to regain her father’s favor. Only by doing so could she once again become the center of attention among all the girls in the class.
Of course, there was another important reason: her grandmother had promised in front of the principal that she would enter the top ten in her grade in the next exam; otherwise, she would have to drop out of school..
