A life of clearness

Chapter 161: Is it a dream? Or not? Transformed into a butterfly (Part )

"A five-hundred-dollar piece of clothing that you only use once?" Rong Lili shook her head. "It's too expensive."

"It's not just for once," Rong Qing explained, "There are classes, rehearsals, and finally a performance at the school sports meet."

"Why is an elective course so troublesome?"

“All the students who signed up for this course with me agreed.”

"Then why don't you just change your newspaper?"

"We decided by drawing lots. Once we drew the lot, we can't change it." Rong Qing said, "Besides, they all changed their clothes, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't."

"Or borrow it from students in other classes?" Qin Jianjun said, "Your class shouldn't be the only one taking this course. If your class schedule is different, you can borrow it."

“The size might not be right, and I don’t know anyone from the other classes.”

"Dad has given you some advice," Rong Lili said impatiently, "either change classes or borrow from others. Can't you solve the problem yourself? You are not as sensible as your sister at your age?!"

Rong Qing glanced at the side. Qin Airong was staring at her while eating, and did not look away when she saw Rong Qing looking at her.

Even if Qin Airong said nothing, Rong Qing knew that Qin Airong was very happy that she, an outsider, was humiliated by her mother.

Rong Qing's arrival harmed everyone's interests.

She didn't say anything else, finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, stood up and put the bowl and chopsticks in the kitchen sink.

"Rong Lili's self-admiration can't last long." Rong Qing thought as she returned to her small room and closed the door. "Money is a practical problem, and a big problem."

Rong Qing sat quietly on the bed, waiting for those words, words that she had not been able to forget for hundreds of years.

Even with the door closed, the soundproofing in the room was so poor that one could still hear the conversation coming from the restaurant.

"Mom, I have to pay for calligraphy classes next month."

"You don't have to worry about that." Rong Lili whispered to Qin Airong, "Teacher Su called and said that you have made great progress. You must keep it up."

"Yeah," Qin Airong nodded with a smile, "Teacher Su praised me by name in the last class. He said that I was the best in the class in calligraphy."

"Really? Rongrong is really great."

"I see, Qingqing just joined the new class... and her grades haven't dropped, so we should reward her too." Qin Jianjun interjected.

"You can't just spend 500 yuan like that." Rong Lili immediately understood what Qin Jianjun meant. "After she comes, we'll have to spend an extra 400 yuan just on her living expenses every month. She's really daring to think that a piece of clothing that she won't use a few times will cost her a month's living expenses."

"Don't say that. I thought about it and it's true that all the classmates bought it but she didn't. She's not sociable. She transferred here halfway through the semester, so it would be very troublesome for you to ask her to borrow it."

"Wasn't it your idea to let her borrow it?" Rong Lili said, "Old Qin, are you going to pay back the loan this month? Rongrong has made progress in calligraphy, so it's reasonable for her to continue taking calligraphy classes. Rongqing spent 500 yuan on clothes for an elective course... 500 yuan a piece of clothes, does she deserve it?"

Is she worthy?
Rong Qing listened to the words coming from outside the door, the words she had never forgotten for hundreds of years. She blinked and a line of tears slid down her cheeks.

"Okay, keep your voice down." Qin Jianjun said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

……

Rong Qing wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand. She sniffed, took out the draft book from her schoolbag and put it on the small desk. This memory was too deep in her memory. Even in the cultivation world, she was once pulled into this memory by illusion. At that time, it was the Sword Master Chongyu who helped her. But now, it is no longer necessary.

She would no longer be in pain that the person who was supposed to love her actually denied her like this. Hundreds of years were enough for Rong Qing to understand that her mother did not love her. At least, not enough.

"Next, I need to think about how to make good use of this world." Rong Qing calculated according to the time of this world, and a week has passed. "Now I am still in the first level of illusion, so it is better to be cautious."

Therefore, Rong Qing did not plan to change the plot and let it continue.

"So I can still stay for six years."

How we make use of these six years is extremely critical.

"The most important thing is, does something outside of my memory exist?"

……

Rong Qing walked through the rows of iron bookshelves. It was very quiet. The sunlight from the window illuminated the dust suspended in the air.

If it were in the cultivation world, the bookshelves would definitely be made of thick wood with carved patterns. However, such iron bookshelves existed in the school library of this world.

Outside the window, I heard a few shouts coming from the playground and the sound of balls colliding.

It's not that there weren't students in the library who came to borrow books, but they were all gathered on the bookshelves of martial arts and romance. Rong Qing walked by without looking away, and then turned to a very deserted corner.

Not to mention the students, even the computer class teacher probably won’t come.

Rong Qing thought about this and randomly pulled out a theoretical book from the bookshelf. The book was very thick and dirty.

Rong Qing didn't care much, thinking to herself, "Come on. It must be new knowledge."

If it was just an illusion constructed based on Rong Qing's memory, then the knowledge beyond Rong Qing's knowledge would be vague. Even if there was, it would be illogical and could not stand up to scrutiny.

For a life form like Yinyuan that has survived from ancient times to the present, it is very likely that the knowledge reserves far exceed those of cultivators. If Rong Qing is placed in the illusion of the cultivation world, even if Rong Qing does not know the knowledge of alchemy and refining, with Yinyuan's powerful knowledge reserves, the knowledge beyond Rong Qing's memory can be perfectly supplemented.

But this world is different. Karma cannot fool her in this regard.

"What if it really can?" Rong Qing was stunned for a moment.

The text in front of me is very clear, and there is no ambiguity in the content. This book talks about the introductory theoretical knowledge of computer language.

"Then let it do its job." Rong Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "Yinyuan, you gave me a great gift."

In the backpack she carried behind her was a draft book filled with her goals and plans for the next six years. And now, she had proven that these plans worked.

Rong Qing didn't know if others in the same situation as her would choose to spend a few years to reconcile with their families if they could return here. But Rong Qing chose not to reconcile.

"The past should be left in the past. Why bother to make up for it?"

“Now, having this opportunity is my greatest reward.”

Rong Qing was ecstatic at this moment, but she suppressed it with her reason.

"Be cautious and be patient." She warned herself secretly.
