When Xia Wan reentered the classroom, Liu Hua patiently awaited her arrival.
Seeing Xia Wan return, Liu Hua hurried over with anticipation, inquiring, “How did it go?”
Xia Wan offered a reassuring smile, her voice calming, “Don’t worry. The MP41 purchased has a recording feature. I managed to capture all of the bullying.”
Liu Hua’s eyes sparkled with surprise, “Seriously? That’s incredible! An MP4 is quite versatile. I should definitely get one too.”
With no one else present in the classroom, Liu Hua spoke freely without restraint.
Affirming the notion, nodded, “Absolutely. The pressure in our third year of high school can be overwhelming. Having the ability to listen to music during class can alleviate some stress. Plus, you can download relevant materials from the internet and watch them on the MP4.”
Liu Hua’s excitement grew as she considered the possibilities. She wished she could obtain an MP4 right away. However, Xia Wan advised her to remain patient and grab a meal first.
Due to this delay, by the time they returned home, Yan Han had already prepared dinner. The dishes were covered, and Xia Feng was engrossed in an MP4 nearby.
Upon hearing their footsteps, Xia Feng stood up with joy, proclaiming, “Sister, you’re back.”
“Hello, Sister Liu Hua. You’re here as well.”
Liu Hua nodded, her smile shy yet warm, “I’m visiting your house again today.”
Yan Han emerged holding a plate of fruits, her smile radiant, “Huahua, what are you talking about? Your relationship with Wanwan is wonderful. We appreciate your care for us at school. I hope you two can spend more time together.”
As they settled down to eat, Xia Wan spoke up, “Mom, I’d like to set up a study room for her. Going forward, Liu Hua will come over every afternoon. We’ll have lunch together at home and study afterward. Liu Hua’s grades are exceptional. If I come across any difficulties, I can get timely help from her.”
Nervously, Liu Hua glanced at Yan Han. Despite the close neighborhood and good rapport between the families, she still felt a bit self-conscious.
Yan Han readily agreed, “Of course, you can. I’ll be at peace knowing you’re studying alongside Wanwan. Work hard, both of you. Leave the rest to Auntie!” This declaration put Liu Hua at ease.
After the meal, Xia Wan led Liu Hua to her room. The spacious room housed a 1.4-meter desk and an adjacent bookshelf, providing ample space for both of them to study.
Embarrassed, Liu Hua placed her textbook on the table and broached a subject, “Wanwan, shouldn’t you charge for tutoring? Otherwise, I’d feel bad spending your money.”
Xia Wan erupted in laughter, “Tutoring fees are typically charged by the hour. We’re studying together, and your grasp of the subjects is better than mine. If I encounter something unfamiliar, I can consult you. It’s like you’re tutoring me indirectly. This arrangement is more valuable than a mere meal.”
“Don’t worry about it. It’s truly not an issue.”
Xia Wan’s words comforted Liu Hua. She resolved to tutor Xia Wan earnestly, to make the most of what Xia Wan was providing.
Liu Hua produced a set of practice papers and proposed, “Let’s work through these papers this afternoon and compare our answers. Feel free to ask if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Xia Wan agreed with a nod, “Sure.”
As they looked at the questions on the paper, a surge of excitement coursed through Xia Wan. Her grip on the pen quivered with anticipation.
During the break, she had managed to study most of the textbooks, though she had only tackled the practice questions at the end. Actual test papers hadn’t been attempted yet.
Receiving the test paper now felt like reclaiming control over her life.
Knowledge had the power to reshape destiny.
Forty minutes later, Liu Hua completed the paper first and patiently awaited Xia Wan.
After another 15 minutes, Xia Wan also finished. Liu Hua grinned and suggested, “You were pretty swift. Let’s compare our answers. If either of us is wrong, the right one can explain.”
Xia Wan agreed, aligning with Liu Hua’s proposal.
In her past life, her academic performance had been subpar. She had put immense effort into studying during the break, an effort Liu Hua wasn’t aware
Yet, Liu Hua’s attitude toward her remained unbiased, untouched by her prior shortcomings. This signaled Liu Hua’s exceptional character.
As they reviewed the questions, Liu Hua realized that Xia Wan’s performance exceeded her expectations. In the previous exam, Xia Wan could only muster 40 to 50 marks in Mathematics, her weakest subject. However, upon finishing this practice paper, Xia Wan scored a perfect 100. She had already surpassed even Song Zhi, demonstrating her upward trajectory in academics..
