Chapter 29 Locked Incident 1

The feeling of sitting on a horse is that your vision is much higher. Shana walked very steadily, but the jockey still led her for a long circle by holding the reins. Zhang Wei felt rather stiff at the beginning, and her butt hurt from the bumping, but she gradually learned to adjust her rhythm on the horse with the ups and downs of the horse's body.

This way, riding becomes much smoother and less tiring.

We spent about three hours at the racecourse, which was quite tiring. I had some snacks along the way and then went home for lunch.

So far, Zhang Wei is quite satisfied with these two club classes. The flute he uses is provided by the school, but it must be bought by his family because he can take it home.

After Zhang Wei got it, she realized that the flute was made of pure silver. It weighed several pounds and did not look cheap. In this way, she had a second valuable property.

After two lessons, I found that playing the flute is not very difficult. The biggest challenge is holding the flute up for a long time. Since they are still young and their bones are not fully developed, the teacher did not stipulate a long practice time. They were only required to play the flute according to the scale.

This also requires certain skills, and lung capacity is a very important aspect. Fortunately, Zhang Wei does not have this problem. She is one of the only two people in the flute club's beginner class who can play the flute in the first class. The other one is a sturdy little boy.

This enriches her free time, but she still takes time to read original books to improve her English. She will finish reading "The Three Musketeers" this weekend, and she will need to borrow another copy next week.

The school's grammar classes helped Zhang Wei recall his previous grammar knowledge, and he became more comfortable in reading and writing classes. Except for the B he got in the first week of homework, he was able to get A consistently thereafter.

It was time for reading class again. Zhang Wei took "The Three Musketeers" to return the book. Mary, who was still in a bad mood, checked every corner of the book over and over again, and even put her face close to the cover to try to find a scratch that shouldn't be there.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei had long realized that she was difficult to deal with, and had always been very careful with her. Meili checked everything for at least five minutes before registering and returning the book to her.

After returning the book, she went to the classic book section where there were few people, and picked out books she had read before. This time she found Jane Eyre. Although Zhang Wei admired Jane Eyre's fighting spirit, she felt that she was selfish and would definitely not return to her cheating and disabled lover like her.

Perhaps her understanding of love is rather shallow, because she has no experience of loving anyone. She thinks that sincerity is the most important thing when people get along with each other. If this is lost, the person will lose his appeal to her, and she will not fall in love with such a person.

When she saw Jane Eyre being bullied by her uncle's son at her uncle's house, the get out of class was over.

As usual, she went to the lending desk to go through the procedures for borrowing books, but Mary was not there, so Teacher Ye Zi asked her to wait.

Zhang Wei waited patiently for a few minutes, but Meili didn't come. She decided to borrow it next time because she had to go to the sixth grade math class on the third floor next time.

But when she walked to the door of the reading room, she found that the door was closed and she couldn't open it even when she pushed it with her hands!

Now she was sure she was locked in...

The wooden door was very thick and knocking on it with hands didn't make much noise. Zhang Wei made a quick decision, found a low stool for reading, and slammed it against the door.

Suddenly there was a loud "bang bang bang" sound. Zhang Wei was not sure if anyone outside heard it because the sound insulation of the reading room was so good, so she kept knocking on the door with a stool.

Finally, before she almost collapsed, a strange female teacher opened the door, and the stool in Zhang Wei's hand almost flew onto her.

She took the stool from Zhang Wei and asked repeatedly, "Hey, what grade are you in? Why are you locked up in there?"

Zhang Wei still needed to go to math class, so he could only answer as quickly as possible:

"Thank you, teacher. I'm Vera Wilson from the first grade. I got locked in while waiting for the administrator, Mary, to borrow a book. I need to go to class now. Can I come see you at noon?"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Zhang Wei memorized her name and office location and ran to the third floor for math class. Fortunately, she was only a little late. Teacher Ethan just smiled at her and asked her to take her seat.

She couldn't even concentrate fully in math class. She felt that the door was locked deliberately by Meili. After all, she was the only person Zhang Wei met in this school who showed obvious hostility towards her.

The timing was perfect. In the next math class, Ms. Ye Zi might think she had gone to the sixth grade, and Mr. Ethan, the sixth-grade teacher, didn't know her very well. If she didn't go, she might think she was still in the first grade. In this case, she would have to be locked up for a class before anyone noticed her.

Fortunately, she also played Jane Eyre. If she were a real 6-year-old child, she would probably be locked in the reading room and wait in fear for at least one class.

She could even imagine Mary making excuses, saying that she deliberately stayed in the reading room after class, or she might find an irrefutable excuse to provide a reasonable explanation for her absence from the reading room as an administrator.

In this way, she could say that she didn't see Zhang Wei and lock the door and leave with a clear conscience.

How can I expose her?

Perhaps because he noticed Zhang Wei's absent-mindedness, Teacher Ethan asked her to answer several questions in a row before she got back into the class.

When the get out of class was over, she was about to pack up and leave when Manny stopped her:

"Aren't you being too arrogant? Although you're said to be talented in math, you won't make much progress if you disrespect the class like this!"

Zhang Wei watched Manny giving her a rare serious lecture. She wanted to say that she really had no talent, but after seeing the mathematical model in Manny's room, she felt that he would definitely achieve good results in the future. However, she didn't intend to let him misunderstand her, so she explained:

"I'm sorry, but it's not my fault. Something bad happened to me and it took my attention away from me."

"I was just locked in the reading room and couldn't get out. I had to bang on the door with a stool before the teacher found me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to show up for this class. If you knew how hard it was for me to get here, you wouldn't call me arrogant anymore, right?"

Manny frowned as he listened, then asked:

"Was it locked up accidentally? Or was it a deliberate prank?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "I'm still thinking about it. I don't have a definite answer yet, but I plan to investigate after lunch."

"If you need help, you can come to me." Manny also showed his gentlemanly demeanor.
