Quickly, Zhou Yining left the office, and by the time she returned to the classroom, class was over.
Although Xu Yueming disliked Zhou Yining, he couldn’t resist the urge to gossip, so he braved being scolded and leaned over, “Hey, what did the English teacher call you in for?”
“Arguing,” Zhou Yining said calmly after taking a few sips of water.
Xu Yueming almost fell off his seat.
He quickly asked curiously, “Did you provoke him again? I heard people say you handed in a blank test paper. Is that true?”
“Yeah, what’s so strange about that? He doesn’t like me, and I hate him. It’s normal,” Zhou Yining said handing in a blank test paper as if it were as simple as drinking water.
Xu Yueming couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, “Awesome, a real woman.”
As he spoke, he got up from his seat and quickly shared the big gossip he had just learned with the rest of the class.
“Oh my god, Zhou Yining really handed in a blank test paper. Old Cao called her to the office just now, and they even argued.”
“Wow, Zhou Yining is going to heaven. She actually dared to hand in a blank test paper.”
“I think so too, but she’s also pretty tough. To be honest, I hate Old Cao too. He always has that Mediterranean hairstyle and always looks at girls with a perverted gaze.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
Zhou Yining didn’t care much.
She wasn’t someone who cared about other people’s opinions.
People should live in the moment and live for themselves.
Other people’s lives and deaths had nothing to do with her.
Soon, the bell for the next self-study session rang, and Xu Yueming returned to his seat.
He didn’t know why, but in just two days, he felt that Zhou Yining’s aura had changed.
In the past, when he talked to Zhou Yining, she would be timid and wouldn’t even dare to look him in the eye.
Now, Zhou Yining dared to hand in a blank test paper and argue with the teacher.
He felt that he should avoid provoking Zhou Yining in the future.
Zhou Yining worked on the original owner’s exercises and test papers, but they were too simple for her.
She simply took out a blank piece of paper and started writing an outline.
After school, she planned to go to the internet cafe to write something and submit it.
The proctor for this class was the politics teacher. She had also heard the argument in the office and couldn’t help but be curious about Zhou Yining, a usually quiet girl.
Coincidentally, the geography and history papers had already been graded, and she was currently grading the politics papers.
She simply took out Zhou Yining’s answer sheet.
She brightened up at just one glance. Zhou Yining’s handwriting was beautiful, and each stroke had character.
She even thought that Zhou Yining’s handwriting was better than hers.
The politics teacher immediately became interested.
She looked at the major questions on Zhou Yining’s geography and politics answer sheets and was surprised to find that they were all correct.
All the answers hit the mark.
The politics teacher was shocked.
Had Class 19 produced a dark horse?
Teacher Wu looked at Zhou Yining with some bewilderment.
She suddenly wanted to see which subject Zhou Yining was currently reviewing.
Teacher Wu simply got up and patrolled the class.
When she walked in front of Zhou Yining, she stopped.
She saw Zhou Yining holding a blank piece of paper and writing something on it.
Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yining was actually writing a novel during self-study?
Teacher Wu coughed lightly to remind her, “Don’t relax just because you finished the exam. Don’t do anything else. Take out your book and review on your own.”
Zhou Yining felt the burning gaze of the person behind her.
She smiled at Teacher Wu and obediently took out a political practice book and started working on it.
Only then did Teacher Wu leave with satisfaction.
After Teacher Wu left, Zhou Yining took out the paper she had just been using again.
Being obedient was impossible.
She needed to make money now!
At nine thirty, Zhou Yining finally endured until the end of class.
She had almost finished writing the outline.
Zhou Yining planned to write six thousand words first and submit them.
If it passed, she would continue writing.
She picked up her schoolbag, and Tian Xue came over to find her.
“Did you really argue with the teacher?”
“Yeah, he started bothering me first. I don’t think I’m wrong,” Zhou Yining said frankly.
Tian Xue advised, “It’s better to avoid trouble. He’s a teacher after all. If you go against him, you definitely won’t have a good outcome.”
“That’s not necessarily true, and I like to face difficulties head-on,” Zhou Yining said nonchalantly.
Tian Xue whispered, “But I still prefer you the way you were before?”
“What?” Zhou Yining suspected she had misheard.
The original owner’s timid appearance?
What did Tian Xue mean?
“It’s nothing. By the way, what are you going to do about the stuff on the confession wall? Have you found out who posted it?” Tian Xue asked.
“Not yet, but Teacher Chen already knows about this. She said that if I can’t handle it, she’ll have the school help remove the stuff on the confession wall.”
“Oh, that’s good. Those love letters aren’t good for you or Zhang Ye. It’s better to delete them,” Tian Xue murmured.
After the two parted ways, Zhou Yining went straight to the internet cafe.
She paid the money and turned on a computer.
Zhou Yining started writing according to the outline she had written.
She had also searched for a lot of information on her phone in the past two days.
The online novels in this world weren’t as developed as in her previous life.
Many novel genres hadn’t been developed yet.
The short story Zhou Yining was going to write today was completely just a test, a supernatural ghost-catching type.
As soon as she opened the Word document, she started writing like crazy.
Zhou Yining’s speed was considered fast.
She could write three thousand words in an hour, but the number of words for submission generally had to be around ten thousand words.
She could only stop writing and wait to come back tomorrow to continue writing.
It was already ten thirty in the evening when she returned home.
Zhao Xiuna heard the sound of the anti-theft door opening and tiptoed out of the room. “Why are you back so late? I was just about to call you.”
“There are monthly exams these past two days. The teachers will use the evening self-study to go over the questions. I’ll probably be home around ten for the next few days,” Zhou Yining explained calmly.
“Oh, then quickly wash your hands, go change your clothes, and I’ll cook you some noodles. Today, I made beef fried sauce. You’ll definitely like it with noodles,”
Zhao Xiuna smiled at Zhou Yining and quickly went to the kitchen to cook the noodles.
Zhou Yining’s gaze towards Zhao Xiuna was a little complicated.
Did Zhao Xiuna really not care about the original owner?
Maybe she cared a little, but as long as the original owner stood on the opposite side of Zhou Yuanfei or Zhou Jiaming, Zhao Xiuna would not hesitate to choose Zhou Yuanfei or Zhou Jiaming.
Her love for the original owner was conditional, so Zhou Yining found it a little ridiculous.
She sighed, took her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to change.
When she came out after washing her face, a bowl of steaming fried sauce noodles had already been placed on the dining table in the living room, with a fried egg on top.
Zhao Xiuna whispered, “Come over and eat quickly. Are you hungry? Your dad and your brother should be asleep. Let’s keep it down.”
Zhou Yining walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at the fried sauce noodles in front of her.
Zhou Yining’s stomach rumbled.
Zhao Xiuna smiled at her gently, “Eat quickly, or it won’t taste good if it gets soggy.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Yining mixed the noodles and ate them in large mouthfuls.
She had to admit that Zhao Xiuna’s cooking was pretty good.
The beef in the fried sauce was very tender, and it also contained fungus and peanuts as side dishes, so the taste had multiple layers.
Zhou Yining ate very happily.
Seeing Zhou Yining eating happily, Zhao Xiuna considered her words and said, “Yining, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
Zhou Yining raised her eyes and glanced at her, “Say it.”
“Your dad isn’t a bad person. He was just angered by you this morning. Go apologize to him tomorrow morning.”
Zhou Yining immediately felt that the noodles in front of her were no longer fragrant.
Zhao Xiuna’s love for her daughter was conditional.
Was she trying to persuade her to bow her head to those father and son?
Zhou Yining put down her chopsticks and looked directly at Zhao Xiuna.
Zhao Xiuna couldn’t withstand Zhou Yining’s sharp gaze and looked away first. “We’re all family. How can you not care about your dad and your brother?”
“Why can’t I? Didn’t Zhou Yuanfei say that he wouldn’t care about me after I turned 18? Then why should I care about him? And you don’t need to persuade me.
I’m not a ‘support-my-brother-to-the-grave’ type. Zhou Jiaming’s life and death have nothing to do with me. You don’t need to brainwash me. I won’t listen,”
Zhou Yining said, feeling that she had lost her appetite for the half-eaten bowl of noodles in front of her.
She stood up, took a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Zhao Xiuna’s eyes turned red.
She didn’t understand.
How did her originally obedient and considerate daughter suddenly become like this?
Her previous daughter was very understanding and considerate of her.
How did she completely change in the past two days?
Zhou Yining wasn’t in a good mood while showering.
The original owner had really had terrible luck to have such a family.
Her father was like a super-male, ready to use his fists at any moment.
Her brother was a fool who only knew how to provoke trouble, and her mother, before, had advised her to keep the peace, never asking about right or wrong, only thinking about making her bow her head first.
If it were the original owner, she would probably be heartbroken to have such a family, right?
Luckily, she wasn’t the original owner.
With such a family, she could only blow up this house.
There was no helping it.
That was just her personality.
She would rather wrong others than wrong herself.
After showering, the lights in the living room were already off.
Zhao Xiuna should have already gone back to her room.
Zhou Yining didn’t care.
She had just charged her phone, and it was now fully charged.
Zhou Yining lay down on the single bed in the dining room and scrolled through her phone.
She immediately saw that Jiang Xizhi had sent her a message on WeChat.
