Moreover, the better she was, the more money she had. Jiujiu still wanted to use the money as a condition for her to leave the Lan family after the college entrance examination. If the Lan family knew that she had money, they would be even more reluctant to let her go.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jiujiu realized that other than some changes in her personality, there was no other possibility at all.
Her living standards could not be improved, and her clothes could not be changed. The only thing that could change was that she did not have to sleep on a hard bed like Lan Ziqing.
Thinking about the kind of life she would have to live in the future, Jiujiu sighed and asked Steamed Bun to put soft sheets and blankets on the hard bed.
Jiujiu lay on the soft bed and breathed in the scent of sunlight. She couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile. She rubbed her little head against the blanket before falling into a deep sleep.
When Jiujiu woke up again, it was already afternoon.
Although it was the first day of school, everyone still had to go to self-study at night.
Jiujiu put on Lan Ziqing's old and tattered jacket and carried her patched school bag. She walked to her classroom.
Lan Ziqing was good at his studies, so he was naturally in the top class.
Every school had good students and bad students.
The school was afraid that the so-called bad students would lead the good students astray, so the classroom for the good students and the classroom for the cram school were in the same building.
As for Lan Ziqing, he was a good student among the good students. Naturally, he was in the most valued third-year class.
Jiujiu walked into the classroom and found her seat according to the name on the table. Then, she coincidentally found that she and He Muxi were sitting in front of each other.
Seeing Jiujiu again, He Muxi had mixed feelings.
Actually, she did not particularly hate Lan Ziqing, but she was used to being outstanding since she was young. This was the first time she was suppressed by someone, and it was someone who could not compare to her in any aspect. He Muxi could not help but feel unhappy.
He Muxi's family was considered better here. She was spoiled since she was young, so it was inevitable that she would be spoiled. She was always suppressed by Lan Ziqing, so every time she saw Lan Ziqing, she did not have a good attitude.
Lan Ziqing's personality was gentle to begin with. No matter how cold He Muxi was, she wasn't angry. Instead, because of the Lan family's indoctrination, she would look guilty every time He Muxi glared at her.
When she saw Lan Ziqing's guilty look, He Muxi felt helpless as if she had punched cotton. She felt like she was bullying an honest person.
However, she was always like this.. She could not say sorry, so she was always, so she treated Lan Ziqing. She was also used to Lan Ziqing's guilty look...
In He Muxi's heart, she had already treated her fierceness and Lan Ziqing's guilt as their interaction. However, He Muxi was not used to Jiujiu's sudden change in attitude. When Jiujiu came in today, she could not help but look at Jiujiu a few more times.
Jiujiu ignored He Muxi's gaze. She sat down on her seat, took out the third-year textbook that Lan Ziqing borrowed last year, and started reading it seriously.
Lan Ziqing borrowed the textbook before the holidays. Logically speaking, Lan Ziqing was so busy last month, so she should not have had time to read it.
However, when Jiujiu flipped open the textbook, the book was filled with Lan Ziqing's notes. Not only did Lan Ziqing read the book, but she also read it in detail.
Jiujiu could not imagine how Lan Ziqing found time to read the book when she was working so hard last month.
Jiujiu could not help but sigh when she thought of how a hardworking, kind, and hardworking girl like Lan Ziqing did not have a good future.
As it was the first day of school, the homeroom teacher said a few words as usual before letting the students study by themselves.
When the self-study session ended, Jiujiu put the textbook that she was going to read at night into her bag and tidied up her desk. Just as Jiujiu was about to turn around and leave, He Muxi suddenly called out to her.
"Lan Ziqing."
Even though this semester was already He Muxi and Lan Ziqing's third year as classmates, in reality, no matter what exam it was, Lan Ziqing was always above He Muxi. The number of times the two of them interacted could be counted on one hand.
This was the first time He Muxi took the initiative to call out to Lan Ziqing.
Jiujiu stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at He Muxi. She used her gaze to ask, 'What's the matter?'
Jiujiu had always been pretty. Her pair of watery eyes were always covered with a layer of mist. In the past, because she always had long bangs, her eyes could not be seen clearly. However, today, Jiujiu combed her bangs up and revealed her entire face.
However, her forehead was exposed. It was also the red and swollen scar that Jiujiu had hit herself two days ago to deceive the Lan family.
In the afternoon, Jiujiu's hair was loose. As her hair covered the scar, it was not very clear. However, now that Jiujiu's hair was tied up, the red and swollen eyelids on her big and clear eyes were especially obvious.
He Muxi called out to Jiujiu because of Jiujiu's sudden change today. When Jiujiu stopped and turned around, He Muxi did not know what to say. However, now that she saw the scar on Jiujiu's face, He Muxi's words were instantly stuck in her throat. She blinked in shock and said in surprise, "Your face, what happened?"
Jiujiu glanced at He Muxi.
Although He Muxi's delicate face still had traces of indulgence, her shimmering eyes were filled with worry. It was obvious that she was worried about Jiujiu.
In Lan Ziqing's memory, He Muxi had never liked Lan Ziqing. Therefore, Jiujiu also thought that He Muxi did not like Lan Ziqing. Now that He Muxi was looking at her with concern, she was not used to it.
Jiujiu blinked and imitated Lan Ziqing's tone. "It's okay."
"But …" He Muxi looked at the red and swollen scar on Jiujiu's face. Her eyes were still filled with worry. She pursed her lips and said, "Well, I still have some ointment. I'll bring it over tomorrow."
It was the first time He Muxi cared about someone. Moreover, the person was someone she did not like in the past. After she finished speaking, her cheeks could not help but heat up. She glanced at Jiujiu and left quickly.
Jiujiu: "…"
After returning to the dormitory, Jiujiu went to the bathroom to get some water to wash up. She applied some ointment on her face to reduce the swelling. Then, she picked up her textbook and lay on the bed to read slowly.
The next day, when Jiujiu arrived at the classroom, He Muxi poked her back the moment she sat down.
Jiujiu turned around.
He Muxi's delicate face was red from shyness. Her big eyes were blinking. He Muxi took out a tube of ointment from her pocket and passed it to Jiujiu. She lowered her head and said softly, "For you."
Jiujiu took the ointment and thanked her softly. "Thank you."
