Compared to the students who stayed at school for classes, those who didn't need to return to campus were much happier.
At the end of August when school resumed, part of the class was full of energy and smiles, while another part looked like zombies with dark clouds over their heads, as if all their vitality had been drained.
On this day, returning students only had morning classes and got the afternoon off.
From this day on, they could officially be called second-year high school students.
The next day, the first-year class welcomed new students.
Class 1 of the second year followed the schedule of the third-year students as usual, with evening self-study sessions every night.
After the dismissal bell rang, everyone packed up their things and headed to the cafeteria in groups to eat.
A boy not wearing a school uniform knocked on the door. He must be a new first-year student who hadn't received the school's uniform yet, so he was wearing his own clothes.
"Xu Weiwei, your meal."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Xu Weiwei, who was sitting to Qiao Jiajing's right.
Xu Weiwei didn't stand up, but asked in return, "Why are you here?"
The boy persisted in holding up the lunchbox, "Your meal."
The class monitor sitting next to Xu Weiwei gave her a push, "Go get it." They couldn't let him keep standing there holding it - it wouldn't look good if students from other classes saw.
They also couldn't let the whole class be stuck in the classroom. There was only a 30-minute break between classes for lunch, and every student was racing against time.
The atmosphere between these two was off. The class monitor was prepared to go over himself if Xu Weiwei didn't stand up.
Xu Weiwei finally stood up and walked quickly to the classroom door. "Alright, I've got it. Don't bring it again in the future."
Everyone could hear the disgust in Xu Weiwei's tone. In her daily interactions with classmates, Xu Weiwei was a cute and witty girl who had never been so impolite before.
Everyone tended to side with their own, so regardless of what happened between these two, it was 100% the other person's fault. Their own classmate was flawless and blameless.
This young man had a very handsome face. He had probably never been treated with such contempt before. He stood there for two seconds before saying to Xu Weiwei, who was about to throw the lunchbox in the trash, "Your older brother asked me to bring this to you."
Xu Weiwei's hand quickly pulled back. She thought for two seconds, wanting to turn back and say something to the young man, but when she turned around he had already left.
In a corner that no one noticed, Shi Li narrowed her eyes, her gaze moving back and forth between Xu Weiwei and the boy.
Xu Weiwei returned to her seat and said to her lunch buddy, "My brother sent me lunch, so I won't be going to the cafeteria with you guys."
Shi Li smacked her forehead, [I remember now]
This is content from another novel in the author's series.
[Lu Shao is the son of Xu Weiwei's father's good friend. Lu Shao's parents both died in a car accident. None of his terrible relatives wanted to raise him, so Weiwei's father felt sorry for him and brought him home]
After Lu Shao left, the classmates started moving, their ears listening to Shi Li's voice as they slowly walked out of the classroom.
Shi Li was also about to leave the classroom with Song Ying to go eat in the cafeteria.
Xu Weiwei had originally opened her lunchbox, but upon hearing Shi Li's inner thoughts, especially since it was about herself, she closed the lid of the lunchbox, stuffed it into her lunch bag, and said seriously to her lunch buddy, "It's too lonely and dreary to eat alone. I'll still eat with you guys."
Lunch buddy class monitor: ...Okay
[Weiwei's dad really has holes in his brain. How could he arrange an engagement between Lu Shao and Weiwei just because he felt sorry for his friend's son and worried he'd have no one to rely on in the future? It's really ridiculous]
[Weiwei and Lu Shao knew each other for less than three hours before getting engaged]
Xu Weiwei warily looked around, relieved that her classmates weren't sneaking glances at her.
Her biggest secret had just been revealed to everyone around her. She felt like she was streaking naked down the street.
Ahhhh how did all her classmates find out? Just over one summer vacation, she gained a fiancé. It was so embarrassing.
[But Weiwei and Lu Shao were born in the same year and month. How come Lu Shao seems to be in first year?]
Xu Weiwei lowered her head and picked at her fingers. If Lu Shao was in the same grade as her, her dad would definitely put him in the same class. She was just afraid Shi Li's inner thoughts would be heard by someone she disliked, so she used a little trick.
[After Lu Shao was taken in by the Xu family, he was bullied by Weiwei and Weiwei's older brother]
Xu Weiwei continued picking at her fingers. She couldn't be blamed for this, right? She suddenly gained a fiancé out of nowhere, how could she possibly be nice to him?
Her older brother inexplicably gained a future brother-in-law. It was normal for an older brother to dislike Lu Shao.
[When Weiwei was in university, the Xu family went bankrupt]
Xu Weiwei stopped picking at her fingers. When did they go bankrupt? Why did they go bankrupt? Explain clearly! Was this related to Lu Shao or not? Say it!
[But at this time, Lu Shao had become a new star in the business world. He hated the Xu siblings who had bullied him before and wanted revenge, but he discovered that he had fallen in love with Weiwei]
Xu Weiwei: Is he sick? I bullied him for several years, yet he still fell in love with me?
[Weiwei runs, Shao chases, Weiwei can't escape even with wings]
Xu Weiwei: ...Alright, I get that you're talented. Next time, don't be so talented. She felt like this sentence would nail her to a pillar of shame for life.
[In the end, they lived happily ever after and even had triplets at once]
The innocent high school girl nearly died of shock when she learned she would have triplets in the future.
Three children? That would mean so many stretch marks.
Wait, you still haven't said why our family went bankrupt and how it happened.
Shi Li got her dinner and sat down at the table with her tray. She turned her head and found Xu Weiwei, whom she had just been mentally criticizing, sitting next to her.
[It's really hard to understand why Lu Shao and Weiwei would have a happy ending]
[They both suffered so much because of each other. It's truly a fantasy that they ended up together]
[I feel like they'd be better off being beautiful separately]
[Their happy ending is really far-fetched. Lu Shao becomes a famous business tycoon, and Weiwei becomes the wife of a business tycoon and a mother of triplets]
Xu Weiwei: Slowly types out a question mark. Is my value only in giving birth to and raising children? No way, nobody stop me, I'm going back to study like crazy.
[I think it's all Weiwei's dad's fault. Lu Shao isn't that young anymore. Why did he have to bring him home to take care of? If he really cared about him, he could have found him a boarding school and sent money regularly]
Everyone: Right, that's what a normal person would do.
The more they thought about the plot of the book, [Oh right, I remember now. Weiwei's dad used to date Lu Shao's mom. He thought Lu Shao was his own son]
After Weiwei and Lu Shao got together, Weiwei's dad jumped out to stop them: "You can't be together, you're siblings."
Weiwei's dad never did a DNA test for Lu Shao because he always assumed Lu Shao was his own son. He was so confident that he never even bothered to test.
Everyone: If I remember correctly, Weiwei's dad arranged the engagement between his own daughter and his suspected son. Wasn't he afraid of incest?
[Weiwei's dad is such a scumbag. To dispel his wife's suspicions that Lu Shao was his illegitimate child, he specifically proposed the engagement between Lu Shao and Weiwei]
The more Shi Li thought about it, the more speechless she became. How could there be such a disgusting man?
Wasn't he afraid that Lu Shao and Weiwei might actually fall for each other?
[He had figured out Weiwei's psychology and knew that Weiwei definitely wouldn't like a sudden fiancé, so he dared to arrange the engagement between the two children]
The broccoli in Xu Weiwei's lunchbox had been mashed into vegetable puree by her stabbing. She imagined the broccoli was her father.
Die, die, die. Damn it, how could there be such a disgusting man? He deserved to go bankrupt. Why did he only go bankrupt and not die?
[Weiwei didn't like this fiancé and kept targeting him. Weiwei's mom didn't want her daughter to be engaged so early, but felt very guilty towards Lu Shao and was especially nice to him. This was probably also part of Weiwei's scumbag dad's calculations]
Mini scene:
Class monitor: Weiwei, what do you plan to do?
Xu Weiwei: I don't know about the future, but tonight I'm going to kiss Lu Shao in front of my dad to give him a shock from his children's incest!
Class monitor: ...Is this hurting the enemy 800 while injuring yourself 1000?
[Note: Just because two people kiss doesn't mean they'll definitely end up together. Weiwei currently has no official partner. Everything depends on future developments]
