When she arrived at school, Zhou Yining was still a little sleepy during the morning reading because she had slept for a short time last night.
After the morning reading, Zhou Yining simply lay down on the table to catch up on sleep.
The first class in the morning was math class, and the teacher was still talking about the test papers.
Zhou Yining didn’t have much interest. She knew how to do all the problems.
She simply began to think about who the person in the surveillance was.
Why did she feel so familiar?
But after thinking for a long time, Zhou Yining still couldn’t match the person in the video with the people around her.
She pinched her brow and had to give up.
After school at noon, Tian Xue was still waiting for her at the door of the classroom.
Zhou Yining took the notebook she had printed in the morning and went out.
“This is for you.” Zhou Yining handed the thick notebook to Tian Xue.
Tian Xue asked doubtfully, “What is this?”
“This is a summary of all the math knowledge points from the three years of high school. It’s all in here. Take it and review it. If you have any questions, just ask me.” Zhou Yining said with a smile.
“For me?” Tian Xue’s eyes flickered, and she didn’t know what she was thinking behind her thick glasses.
“Yeah, your math foundation is not very good. Reviewing according to this will be more organized.” Zhou Yining explained.
Tian Xue clenched the notebook in her hand. “Okay, thank you. I will read it carefully.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your call at noon. You should go after eating as soon as possible. The hairdresser takes quite a long time to cut hair, otherwise you won’t be able to make it to class.” Zhou Yining thought and said.
“Okay, then I’ll call you later.” Tian Xue said with a smile, holding the notebook in her hand and feeling very happy.
The two of them separated at the fork in the road as usual.
After Zhou Yining arrived home, Zhou Jiaming was already sitting at the dining table playing games.
When he saw Zhou Yining coming back, Zhou Jiaming sneered.
He was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Yining now.
His dad had said that in two years, he would be able to use Zhou Yining to exchange for a dowry of seventy or eighty thousand yuan. The money would all be his in the future.
Zhou Yining naturally didn’t pay attention to Zhou Jiaming either.
She ate by herself, not caring about the faces of Zhou Jiaming and Zhao Xiuna.
After eating, Zhou Yining received a call from Tian Xue.
“Okay, I’ll come out now.”
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then packed her things and was about to go out.
Zhao Xiuna frowned, but because of what happened last night, she didn’t dare to say anything too, to Zhou Yining. “Yining, why are you leaving now? It’s still early.”
“I’m going to the hairdresser with my friend. I’ll go straight to school later.” Zhou Yining said and left.
Zhao Xiuna sat on the sofa and sighed. She was clearly the most worry-free daughter, so why has she become so rebellious now?
After Zhou Yining went out, she only felt that her breathing was much smoother.
Living in that kind of environment for a long time, it was no wonder that the original owner was inferior and sensitive.
Zhou Yining arrived at the fork in the road to meet Tian Xue. Tian Xue had been waiting there for a while.
“I’m here. I came out as soon as I finished eating. I’m still a little sleepy.” Tian Xue said with a smile.
Zhou Yining nodded and walked towards Tian Xue. “I just finished eating too. Let’s go, otherwise it will be too late.”
“Yeah, I just bought an iced coffee from the place over there. Have a cup, so you don’t get sleepy in the afternoon.” Tian Xue handed over the iced coffee with the lid on.
“Thank you.” Zhou had already taken the coffee and thanked her.
She did want to drink something sweet at this time.
There was a thick layer of ice cream on top of the coffee.
Zhou Yining opened the lid and scooped it out with a spoon.
The two of them talked and went to the hairdresser’s shop yesterday.
Zhou Yining greeted the hairdresser,
“Hello, my friend also wants to get a haircut here. Please take a look at her.”
“Okay, no problem.” The hairdresser smiled at her, and then looked at Tian Xue.
Tian Xue lowered her head subconsciously. She didn’t like being looked at.
The hairdresser saw that she was shy and smiled, “It’s okay, I’ll take a look at your face shape so I can cut your hair for you later.”
“Can’t I get the same hairstyle as Zhou Yining?” Tian Xue asked.
“Your face shape is much narrower than hers. It would be a little weird to cut it like that. Let’s wash your hair first, and I’ll design it for you.”
“Okay.” Tian Xue nodded.
Zhou Yining sat on the sofa in the shop, drinking iced coffee and blowing the air conditioner, feeling very comfortable.
She took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Xizhi.
Zhou Yining: [I’ll find you after class later. I have something for you.]
Jiang Xizhi replied almost instantly.
Jiang Xizhi: [What is it?]
Zhou Yining: [You’ll know later. The first class is over. Remember to wait for me.]
Jiang Xizhi: [Okay! (Cat rubbing hands jpg)]
Jiang Xizhi had just finished eating and was sitting at the dining table playing with her cell phone.
When she was sending a message to Zhou Yining, the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.
Seeing her sister happy, Jiang Yueyi tentatively asked, “Zhizhi, who are you chatting with? You’re so happy?”
“My friend in school.” Jiang Xizhi looked at her sister and replied.
“Friend? Shi Yuanyuan or Si Yaqing?” Jiang Yueyi continued to ask with a smile. It seemed that her sister only had these two friends.
“Neither. It’s someone from another class. She’s a friend I just met. She’s very good. She’s very good at studying, and she said she would help me with math.”
When Jiang Xizhi thought of Zhou Yining, the smile on her lips became more and more unstoppable.
She liked being with Zhou Yining a little.
Jiang Yueyi’s heart skipped a beat.
Her sister was indifferent to Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing, so why was she so caring about this new friend?
She was a little worried that this new person her sister had met was trying to use her, and the purpose was to climb on their family.
She had heard a few days ago that her sister had asked someone to check a post in school and had also asked someone to check the surveillance of an internet cafe, but that matter seemed to be related to Zhang Ye.
Her sister was good at everything, but the only thing she couldn’t understand was that Jiang Yueyi couldn’t figure out what was so good about that kid Zhang Ye.
Her sister had always been attached to him since she was a child, and she would definitely invite the Zhang family over for her birthday every year.
Jiang Yueyi sighed and only felt that her sister’s vision for men was too bad, and her vision for friends was also bad enough.
To put it bluntly, Shi Yuanyuan and that Si Yaqing were also trying to cling to their family to be friends with her sister, but there was no way.
Her sister couldn’t be without friends, so their family would just turn a blind eye.
As long as Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing really treated her sister as a friend, the family would naturally give the Shi family and Si family benefits in the business world.
Jiang Yueyi tentatively asked, “Since she’s a friend, take her home to sit down one day so she can recognize the place.”
“Okay, she said she can help me with tutoring on Saturday morning. I’ll send her the address then and ask her to come over.” Jiang Xizhi smiled at Jiang Yueyi.
“Okay.”
Jiang Yueyi nodded without showing any signs.
She could see that her sister Zhizhi’s new friend was quite high-level.
She could tell that her sister seemed to like this new friend very much, so she had to learn from her.
Jiang Xizhi had no idea what her sister was thinking.
She got up and said,
“Sister, I’m going back to sleep for a while. I have a whole afternoon of English class in the afternoon.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Jiang Yueyi nodded to her sister.
On the other side, Zhou Yining finished a cup of coffee, and Tian Xue’s hair was almost done.
The stylist’s taste was very good, and he gave Tian Xue a hairstyle that suited her, which was much better than the previous thick bangs.
However, without the cover of the thick bangs, Tian Xue seemed very unconfident.
She looked at Zhou Yining with dodging eyes. “What do you think?”
Zhou Yining told the truth, “It suits you very well. It looks much better than the previous thick bangs. Get this hairstyle in the future. It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Tian Xue looked at herself in the mirror and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that she looked better than before.
The two of them went to school together. Zhou Yining returned to her seat and waited for the first class.
Before class, Yu Yang and several other students in the class surrounded Zhou Yining, asking her questions.
Zhou Yining answered patiently, and of course, she also received a lot of snacks.
Zhou Yining was very satisfied with this. After the first history class, Zhou Yining hurriedly left the class with her notebook.
After Zhou Yining left, the students who wanted to ask questions could only wait.
When several boys saw that Tian Xue had also changed her hairstyle, they gathered together and whispered.
“Hey, Tian Xue also got a haircut today. It’s much better than those thick bangs before.”
“Zhou Jie must have taken her to get it. But I have to say, Zhou Jie is really nice. She’s already a top student, but she still plays with Tian Xue, who’s at the bottom of her class.”
“Yeah, how do these two look like friends? Zhou Jie is so good-looking now, and she’s good at studying. Tian Xue is different. She looks ordinary, she’s not good at studying, and she doesn’t like to be clean. There’s always a strange smell when you pass by her.”
Tian Xue just happened to come up to throw away the trash, and she heard the words these boys were discussing. Tian Xue’s face didn’t look very good.
When those boys saw that Tian Xue had heard them, they all awkwardly scattered.
Tian Xue’s hands were clenched tightly together.
After a long time, she returned to her seat.
On the other side, Zhou Yining went downstairs and went straight to Class 1.
She stood at the door of Class 1 and said to the students in the front row,
“Classmates, please help me call Jiang Xizhi.”
The boy in the front row was doing a test paper.
He didn’t lift his head, but he still helped to call someone, “Jiang Xizhi, someone is looking for you.”
Jiang Xizhi raised her eyes and saw Zhou Yining standing at the door of the classroom.
She stood up and smiled at Zhou Yining from afar, trotting towards the door of the classroom.
Zhang Ye’s face wasn’t very good.
How many times had it been?
These two people were so ignoring him, what did they mean?
Jiang Xizhi ran to the door and looked at Zhou Yining with a smile, “What did you bring me?”
Zhou Yining reached out and took Jiang Xizhi’s wrist, walking a few steps outside to make room for the door of the classroom.
She handed over the blue-covered notebook in her hand, “This is for you.”
“What is it?”
Jiang Xizhi curiously took the notebook and flipped it open.
The thick notebook was written full, but Zhou Yining’s handwriting was delicate and easy to read, so it wouldn’t make people feel a headache to read.
After flipping through a few pages, Jiang Xizhi knew what it was, and her eyes lit up,
“Is this a summary of math knowledge points?”
“Yeah, the knowledge points from the three years of high school are all in here. Take it back and read it carefully. When I tutor you on the weekend, it can be used.”
“Then what about you after you give it to me?”
Without Zhou Yining saying anything, she also knew that this thing must have taken Zhou Yining a lot of time to summarize, and it was a unique review material.
Zhou Yining smiled at her, “I don’t need it. This is what I wrote for you last night. Take it back and read it carefully.”
Jiang Xizhi tightened her grip on the notebook in her hand, and her heart also beat a beat faster,
“You wrote it for me specially? Why?”
Zhou Yining smiled brightly at her, “Why are there so many whys? It’s almost time, and class is about to start. I’ll go back first.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Xizhi nodded, her ears were a little red, and she didn’t enter the class with the notebook in her arms until Zhou Yining’s back disappeared in the corridor.
She didn’t expect that Zhou Yining would actually handwrite a math knowledge point for herself.
Jiang Xizhi couldn’t describe that feeling, she only felt sweet in her heart.
When she thought of Zhou Yining’s smile just now, her ears were even redder than before.
Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing looked at each other and felt a sense of crisis.
The two of them came over.
“Zhizhi, why did she come to you again? Did she come to ask you for help again?” Shi Yuanyuan asked.
“Yeah, this kind of person really doesn’t know what’s going on. She just sees that you’re nice and always bothers you.”
Si Yaqing also added fuel to the fire.
When Jiang Xizhi heard the two of them say this about Zhou Yining, she was unhappy and frowned,
“She’s very nice. Don’t say that about her in the future, or don’t blame me for falling out with you.”
Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing looked at each other, and both of their hearts skipped a beat.
“I’m sorry, Zhizhi. We were just too worried and afraid that she would hurt you. We didn’t mean to say these things.”
“Yeah, since she’s your friend, then she’s our friend too in the future.”
Si Yaqing quickly helped to smooth things over.
Jiang Xizhi nodded, “That’s more like it.”
