Wu Yue lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
Once she's made up her mind about something, nothing can sway her.
However, she gets conflicted when faced with situations that she can take lightly and think are harmless no matter what, because the people around her have different opinions, making it difficult for her to choose which side to take.
It feels like choosing one side would mean betraying the other.
"Ah, Mom asked me to think about it." Wu Yue downed the warm milk in one gulp, shoved the cup into her mother's palm, and dashed downstairs to the storage room. "Well, I'm going to unpack some packages first. I'll help you with cooking tonight."
"Girls shouldn't be so impulsive," Mother Wu said with a playful smile. "Hey, slow down, the delivery isn't going to grow wings and fly away."
As soon as Wu Yue pushed open the door to the storage room, an unfamiliar number called.
It's Songcheng's mobile number.
Could it be—
What you fear most is what happens, isn't it?
With trembling hands, Wu Yue swiped the answer button, "Hello?"
A sob came from the other end of the phone, the voice hoarse and slightly deep.
Wu Yue: ...
"Hello, who is this? I'm sorry, I don't offer live crying services."
"Wu, hiccup, I heard you're staying at Shuangyi, is that right? Hiccup, waah, how could you do this? The teacher is still at home, ugh, at school, eagerly waiting for you to come back, I've been looking forward to it for so long..."
Seeing this side of Mu Lingzhang for the first time, Wu Yue was stunned for a few seconds.
"Who told you that? Teacher Mu, I haven't made a decision yet." For some reason, Mu Lingzhang's call calmed Wu Yue's conflicted heart considerably.
She turned on speakerphone and placed her phone on the shelf beside her.
He moved to the package next to the door, gestured a couple of times, and with a "rip," he tore open the package with his bare hands.
Wu Yue was dumbfounded when she saw a box full of exam papers and competition materials.
There was indeed a file folder on top of the box, but what on earth were all these things below it?!
She peered forward and found a note.
[Wu Yue, I hope you can stay at Shuangyi next semester. We're looking forward to having you and Yan participate in the senior year competitions. Sending you love!]
Imagining Lao Tao making a heart shape with his hands for her, Wu Yue couldn't help but shudder.
"Teacher Mou, I've decided to go back to—" Songcheng, are all these test papers going to kill her?
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Lingzhang's long-debated decision came through the phone line: "Wu Yue, I've thought it over. I've decided to accept their invitation to become the vice principal of Shuangyi High School. Oh, and I'll bring your and Yan Chiyu's student files with me in a few days."
"Oh no, teacher, what I mean is..."
Mu Lingzhang abruptly interrupted Wu Yue again, "Alright, alright, I understand. The capital is indeed prosperous and a good place to cultivate talent. The more talented people there are, the fiercer the competition will be, but this will allow you to see further and go further. The reason I am willing to serve as the vice principal is partly because of orders from above, and partly because of you two. You are my most promising students, the kind who will bring glory to the school and the country."
Wu Yue looked up at the sky, trying not to let her tears fall.
Teacher Mu Lingzhang, please listen to your students' voices! I want to go back to Songcheng!
"That's all for now, I'll go take care of the formalities right away. Bye, see you in Beijing." With that, Mu Lingzhang quickly hung up the phone.
Wu Yue sat on a small stool, listlessly took out her phone and called Yan Chiyu, "Big brother, wanna do some math problems? The kind that's all-out?"
After a long silence, the boy's voice finally rang out: "I received three boxes of exam papers and materials, and one box had your name on it. It must have been sent to the wrong place."
"goodbye!"
Waiting one minute to connect and only five seconds to hang up, Wu Yue put away her phone, thinking to herself.
How many books should each of Fu Zhu, Lu Shu, Tian Lie, and Song Suian publish?
