When Huo Xuanxi took a car from the Huo family to Mingfeng, the school had just rung the self-study bell.
"Oh dear, class beauty, the bulletin board deadline is fast approaching, you'd better hurry up and draw it."
"Yeah, yeah, the class beauty is so good at studying, it should be easy for her to draw the bulletin board, hehehe, we can't cause her any trouble, no one is allowed to help."
Amidst the mocking voices filling the classroom, Tong Su stood tall and stubbornly carried the heavy buckets of water outside the classroom.
She looked up at the five-meter-long blackboard on the wall and gently pursed her lips.
In order to develop students' comprehensive qualities, Mingfeng has a large blackboard on the wall outside each classroom. Each class has to design its own bulletin board, which is changed once a month, and there are often competitions.
This bulletin board is quite large, and it usually takes the whole class to complete together, which takes a long time.
Since Young Master Huo had given instructions to take "good care" of Tong Su, her classmates naturally knew which side to take.
The black wall still bears the remnants of the previous bulletin board, covered with chalk writing and drawings. Just cleaning the blackboard thoroughly is no easy task.
When the water is splashed on the wall, it will drip down with chalk dust, and even the prettiest girl in the class will be covered in dust and look disheveled.
The students in the class gathered at the door, whispering amongst themselves. People from the neighboring classrooms also peeked in, and the class where Huo Ershao and Tang Nuoyu were studying burst into laughter.
The person that Young Master Huo specifically named to deal with!
How could we let her get away with this!
The scions of wealthy families stood by with their arms crossed, watching coldly as if it were a joke; those who wanted to curry favor with the second young master of Huo kept mocking Tong Su.
Some ordinary students from poor families have even more to think about.
Scholarship spots are limited. If Cao Tongyang can't attend classes and his monthly exam results suffer, then when it comes time to select scholarship recipients, won't they lose a strong competitor?
So he quietly lowered his head and did his homework in the classroom, not daring to participate, but also remaining silent.
Despite her various thoughts, Tong Su remained aloof. She was not tall, and her slender body was wrapped in a loose school uniform, forming a stark contrast with the huge water bucket at her feet.
Her pale face was devoid of any color, making her appear even more haggard yet stubborn.
The stronger she was, the more heartbreaking it was to see her. Her unwillingness to admit defeat touched everyone, and their hearts trembled inexplicably. The laughter gradually subsided.
Not everyone was willing to be Huo Ershao's lapdog. They also felt that Tong Su was wronged, but they really didn't have the strength or courage to stand up against Huo Ershao. They could only whisper their advice.
"Tongyang, go apologize to Young Master Huo. How many days will it take you to draw such a big bulletin board by yourself?"
"Honestly, how could they bully you like this! Tongyang, this bulletin board is so big, how long are you going to finish drawing it by yourself? If you don't finish it, you won't be allowed to attend class. How are you going to study, Tongyang?"
Standing next to Tong Su was her best friend Si Muxia, who was trembling with anger.
Si Muxia knew that her friends came from poor families and desperately needed scholarships to make ends meet, so she naturally knew how disgusting it was that those people demanded, "No class until the bulletin board is finished."
"Don't worry, Xiaxia, I'll finish drawing soon." Tongsu patted her arm reassuringly and smiled. "I've already previewed the textbooks at home. It's only a day or two without class, so it's not a big deal."
Si Muxia shook her head repeatedly: "Not only that, everyone knows that variety show crew is coming to the school in a few days! The principal instructed that the bulletin board must be done beautifully. It has to be fast and beautiful, how can that be? They're deliberately trying to harm you!"
