She said she'd keep an eye on things, and Chen Jiaoyun really did!
Yang Yajing gave Chen Jiaoyun, a girl with a bad memory who often daydreams in class, a voice recorder as a New Year gift, fearing she would fall behind.
It was actually a gift from a "distant relative" in Hong Kong, but she was already in her second year of school and didn't need it at all.
So she used the gift as a way to present it to Chen Jiaoyun.
Chen Jiaoyun, always eager for gossip, had been following the two of them intentionally or unintentionally for the past two days. Now, as they went to the restroom together, she followed them again.
"Wang Qin, I really want that Yamaha keyboard!" Wu Huan, the class's academic representative, said to Wang Qin, the class monitor.
"Over six hundred yuan! Where did you get the money?" Wu Huan knew that Wang Qin's family was not well-off, so six hundred yuan was a large sum of money.
"But music can add a lot of points to the college entrance exam! If I can practice well at home, it will be much easier to get into university!" Wang Qin said with great longing.
"So how are you going to do it?" Wu Huan was also eager to try it out, hearing that it could earn her extra points. "Are you going to get a job? It's not easy for minors to get jobs, is it?"
"Wu Huan...you said we received so much class funds, could we borrow some?"
"Borrowing it? How are you going to return it?"
"Can't we just say we lost it and pay it back slowly with our living expenses?" Wang Qin suggested.
"Lost it? I'm partly responsible for it too, I'm not taking the blame for this!"
"What should we do?" Wang Qin cried, her face contorted with despair. "I really want that zither! You're so smart, please help me think of a way!"
"Sigh! But you're my good friend! How about..." Wu Huan's eyes darted around, "How about we find someone from another class to take the blame? That way we won't even have to pay back the score?"
"From another class? Who are you looking for?"
"Why don't we just assign the task to whoever comes into the office after us?"
Wu Huan told Wang Qin to put the remaining class funds in an envelope and place it on the teacher's desk.
Then they would keep watch at the door, and when they saw the next person go in, they would say that the person had stolen it.
To avoid being overwhelmed by crowds, they specifically chose lunchtime, a time when the office was relatively empty.
In her previous life, the class representative for Chinese was absent again, and Yang Yajing happened to have finished collecting the homework that day and went to the office.
Because of Yu Ning's attention, she also offered to help. The two of them, each carrying half a stack of homework, entered the office behind the other two.
This time, the situation is the same.
On the way to the office, Yu Ning struck up a conversation with Yang Yajing: "What did you write for your assignment this time? Don't try anything too creative and steal my first place, will you?"
"Are you that concerned about first place? Just write it carefully, the ranking depends on the teacher's opinion." Yang Yajing smiled.
"Rankings represent honor!" Yu Ning disagreed. "You say you don't care so much, yet you always get first place. Isn't that fake?"
"It's true!" Yang Yajing still smiled. "I got all those real results!"
When they arrived at the office, the two were still talking.
"No way, show me your homework! I want to compare and see if yours is better than mine!" Yu Ning persisted.
"Just watch!" Yang Yajing said indifferently.
After flipping through the papers, Yu Ning took out Yang Yajing's homework and read it. Her expression immediately fell: "What is this! I'm going to fall behind again! How can your brain come up with such strange and weird ideas?"
"I love going to the library!" Yang Yajing said mysteriously.
"I go to the library all the time too! Why is the experience different?" Yu Ning pouted.
“Because you’re going to read serious books, and I’m going to read leisure books!” Yang Yajing winked at Yu Ning.
"Reading leisure books? You can get good grades just by reading leisure books? I don't believe it!"
"Would you like to come with me to experience it after dinner?"
"Who wants to be with you? We're competitors!"
"We became friends after a fight!" Yang Yajing said with a grin. "Dai Zong already said that!"
"Dai Zong? Who is that?"
Haven't you read "Water Margin"?
"Is all that fighting and killing really that entertaining?"
"It's really good, and so full of loyalty! Let's go together! Let's go together! Shall I introduce you to a whole new world of leisure reading?"
"Who asked you to introduce me?" Yu Ning said, but she still followed Yang Yajing out of the office and headed towards the cafeteria.
"You, a lady, never manage to get any good food. I'll help you get more today," Yang Yajing said, still laughing and joking.
"Take it? I can't possibly eat it all! I need to dance, and if I eat too much, my dance teacher will scold me!"
"Eating one meal won't make you fat! I eat so much, and I'm still not fat!"
"You're not just not fat, you're not even growing taller!" Yu Ning said dismissively.
"Hmph! I'll grow taller later! I've grown over ten centimeters in the last two years!"
"A dozen centimeters? That's still less than 1.4 meters?"
"Hmph! You're so proud of being 1.6 meters tall? You're only proud of your height and looks!"
"As long as I'm proud of myself! Who cares about height or looks?" Yu Ning is indeed competitive, but not annoying.
After getting food at the restaurant, Yang Yajing pulled Yu Ning to the seats that Chen Jiaoyun had reserved early on.
Yu Ning sighed upon seeing Chen Jiaoyun, "It's so great to have such a capable friend! You don't even have to fight for a seat!"
"That's right!" Chen Jiaoyun proudly raised her head. "Each has its own strengths!"
The three girls ate, chatted, and laughed, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
But the joy always seems so short-lived, and here comes Chen Yaojin!
"Yang Yajing, Yu Ning, did you steal our class funds?" Wu Huan blurted out, her voice quite loud, causing everyone to turn around.
