Zhao Jinyu began to appreciate her new deskmate.

She possesses a calmness and resilience beyond her years; she is truly hardworking and remarkably intelligent.

In math class, when the teacher is explaining the most challenging problem, they will occasionally expand on some higher-level problem-solving approaches or formulas.

I don't expect students to understand, but rather to broaden their horizons and sow the seeds of critical thinking.

Students who can truly understand and keep up are extremely rare.

Usually, it's only Zhao Jinyu.

This often gave him and his math teachers a sense of being too sophisticated for their audience.

Later, Zhao Jinyu discovered that her deskmate could actually understand it!

The question she asked actually hit the nail on the head.

This made Zhao Jinyu quite excited, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

Xia Tingwan's foundation in other subjects is slightly weaker, especially in humanities and social sciences, which require a lot of memorization and accumulation.

But she was very hardworking; even during the ten-minute breaks between classes, she would be holding a book or notes and memorizing.

This fighting spirit deeply moved Zhao Jinyu.

He believed that, given time, her grades would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

He became more patient with his deskmate.

When Xia Tingwan asked him questions, he would appropriately expand on and elaborate on them.

Xia Tingwan was able to quickly follow his train of thought and apply what he learned to other situations, which made him, the "little teacher," feel a great sense of accomplishment.

The two began to talk more during breaks between classes.

In the eyes of her classmates, especially the girls who were already paying attention to Zhao Jinyu, this was a significant development.

They were "very close".

This stung Ye Feifei.

Ye Feifei comes from a wealthy family and is an only child. She has been proud and arrogant since childhood and has been pampered by everyone.

She has good grades and is pretty.

She has always been the focus of attention in the class, and the subject of gossip among the boys.

She enjoyed the feeling.

Once, she wrote a love letter to Zhao Jinyu, the most handsome boy in her class.

Zhao Jinyu didn't even glance at her, which made her resentful.

What she found even more unbearable was that Xia Tingwan, who used to always have disheveled hair, wear dirty old clothes, and be timid and hesitant, had changed so much.

She wore a well-fitting dress, had her hair in braids, and had a rosy complexion and relaxed eyes.

It possesses a beauty that is as pure as a lotus emerging from clear water.

Her peach blossom eyes were also very captivating.

Ye Feifei had heard boys in her class talking about it more than once.

"Xia Tingwan is so beautiful! How come I never noticed before?"

"Yes, she's even prettier than Ye Feifei."

"Hey, stop talking, Ye Feifei is behind you."

"I'd say that to your face... Holy crap, I thought you were joking. Sorry, Ye Feifei, how could Xia Tingwan compare to you?"

Ye Feifei was furious when she heard this.

What's even more infuriating is that Xia Tingwan's math scores improved rapidly, and she performed exceptionally well in several tests.

He received public praise from his math teacher.

Ye Feifei is also known for her math scores. Last year, she and Zhao Jinyu represented their class in a math competition.

Generally speaking, the only people who receive praise in class besides Zhao Jinyu are her.

Now, Xia Tingwan is taking away her halo layer by layer.

Jealousy, like a poisonous vine, grew wildly within her.

Everyone in the class knows about Xia Tingwan's family situation, and no one is there to back her up anyway.

"I'll teach her a lesson," Ye Feifei thought.

"Ring ring." The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

"Tingwan, hurry up, let's go eat!" A classmate named Guo Wen in the front row urged anxiously.

Xia Tingwan has become more cheerful recently and has made a friend in her class.

Guo Wen muttered, "Let's hurry up, those first-year high school students are the most enthusiastic about eating."

"At mealtimes, it's like a horde of zombies; if you're late, you can't even squeeze in."

The canteen at No. 3 Middle School has a long history, but it has never been expanded and its capacity is limited.

Later, when the school expanded its enrollment, lunchtime became a major problem for the students.

Every time we eat, the cafeteria feels like it's been besieged by zombies.

The school came up with a solution: staggered meal times.

In the second year of high school, students ate 15 minutes later than in the first year, and in the third year, students ate 15 minutes later than in the second year.

The method is good, but some teachers like to extend class time.

Therefore, people's mealtimes often overlap, leading to "food-grabbing battles".

Xia Tingwan put down her pen, took out her meal card from the drawer, and said with a smile, "Coming, coming."

The two rushed into the cafeteria and joined the ranks of those "besieged".

Sweating profusely from the crowd, it was a long and difficult wait before I finally got my food.

Xia Tingwan carried her stainless steel plate and looked for a seat.

Ye Feifei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and overturned her plate.

Chicken stew with mushrooms and Mapo tofu were scattered all over the floor.

"Oops, sorry, I bumped into you," Ye Feifei said with a smile.

Xia Tingwan knew she was doing it on purpose, and looking at the mess, anger rose in her heart.

The money for the meal was earned by her brother through hard work, and she just squandered it like that.

Lunchtime is so precious, and she wasted it like this.

The afternoon is long, and without eating, I have no energy to study.

The time spent requeuing could have been used for studying!

Xia Tingwan clenched her fists, but she reminded herself not to act impulsively.

Although her brother made it sound so easy, it must have taken a lot of effort for her to get back to school.

And my brother has been very busy with work lately, he goes straight to sleep as soon as he gets home every day...

She didn't want to cause trouble for her brother.

Xia Tingwan swallowed her anger, silently cleared her plate, and went back to queue for food.

"Hmph, coward." Ye Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better. "Just you wait, this is only the beginning."

After finishing lunch, Xia Tingwan took a nap on the table, then went to the bathroom to wash her face before returning to read.

Several girls followed her, stood up, walked out of the classroom, and went to the restroom.

They were blocking the doorway.

"What? Let me out." Xia Tingwan looked at Ye Feifei, who was standing at the door.

Ye Feifei crossed her arms over her chest, a malicious smile on her face.

She deliberately spread one leg apart: "Want to get out? Sure, you can crawl out from here."

The three girls next to him immediately burst into laughter.

Xia Tingwan suppressed her anger: "Ye Feifei, I haven't done anything to you, why are you picking on me?"

Ye Feifei scoffed, "Why? Because I find you disgusting."

"She clings to Zhao Jinyu every day after class, asking her all sorts of questions. What's with the pretense of being studious?"

"Look at you, all slutty, who are you trying to seduce?"

Xia Tingwan felt this was absurd and explained, "You misunderstood. I was just asking him some questions, it has nothing to do with him."

Ye Feifei said, "Then tell Teacher Xu to change your seat."

Xia Tingwan didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Teacher Xu."

Ye Feifei stared at her for a few seconds, then her gaze suddenly turned colder: "You scheming bitch, trying to tell Teacher Xu on you, huh?"

She lost her patience, turned around, and gestured with her chin to her three female followers: "Beat her up."

Ye Feifei's father is a powerful figure in the Education Bureau.

She was over forty when she had this one daughter, and she dotes on her rotten.

Normally, Ye Feifei gets whatever she wants at home.

These girls usually fawned over her, so naturally they obeyed her every command.

Xia Tingwan knew things were going badly, so she shouted in the bathroom, hoping someone outside would hear her.

A girl rushed up and covered her mouth.

Another girl rushed up and tried to pull her hair.

Ye Feifei, relying on her family background, has bullied many people without ever getting into trouble.

Therefore, these girls acted with complete impunity.

It's lunch break time now, so very few people come to use the restroom.

Xia Tingwan knew she couldn't back down; if she did, they would do even worse things.

This is the toilet; they're capable of anything here...
