Zhu Xiaojuan was initially skeptical. Forgot what you learned a month ago? No problem, reviewing the old knowledge can help you learn new things. Just relearn it.
But as Zhu Xiaojuan grows older, the amount of knowledge she needs to learn increases, but the time it takes for her to forget knowledge becomes shorter and shorter.
When Zhu Xiaojuan was in elementary school, she could retain the knowledge she learned for about a month. By junior high, that time had dropped to a week. By high school, she could only retain the knowledge she learned for three days. Starting in her senior year, she could only retain the knowledge she learned for a day.
Yesterday's efforts were undone overnight, a devastating blow to Zhu Xiaojuan. She wasn't sure if she should continue studying. After all, no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. This realization left her feeling hopeless. Who with hair wants to be bald? Who wants to be a slacker when they can be a top student?
A few days before Zhou Yuanyuan arrived at Class 1, Zhu Xiaojuan was ready to let loose. She asked the teacher for a seat in the back corner and began to sleep in class or just stare blankly.
Zhu Xiaojuan was very afraid of such inexplicable forgetfulness.
In junior high school, Zhu Xiaojuan told her parents about her memory problems. Initially, Zhu Manwen and his wife thought she was making excuses for her declining grades. After Zhu Xiaojuan repeatedly insisted, they took her to the hospital for examinations. The result? After more than a dozen hospitals examined her, the unanimous conclusion was that Zhu Xiaojuan was not ill and her intelligence was normal.
From then on, Zhu Manwen and his wife ignored Zhu Xiaojuan's grades. Chen Xiaoqing even consoled her daughter by saying that poor grades were fine, saying they were just the icing on the cake and not something they needed to make a living.
Zhu Xiaojuan was desperate. Even her biological parents had given up on helping her. Zhu Xiaojuan could only numbly repeat the process of learning, forgetting, learning again, and forgetting again. Zhu Xiaojuan didn't know how much longer she could hold on; she just felt that everything was ridiculous.
"Yuanyuan, I think... before long, I might become an idiot. After all, I have already forgotten the book, and it is not impossible that I will forget more things." Zhu Xiaojuan sighed and said.
To be honest, if she had only forgotten poetry, songs, mathematics, physics and the like, Zhu Xiaojuan wouldn't have taken it seriously. But if she started to forget even her life skills, Zhu Xiaojuan couldn't imagine what her future would be like.
It turns out that this is why Zhu Xiaojuan became a poor student! She forgets everything she learned the day before the next day. This kind of thing is really maddening!
Zhou Yuanyuan felt extremely sympathetic towards Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Yuanyuan, I feel that you are my benefactor. When I stay with you, not only does the air feel a lot fresher, but my mind also feels a lot clearer." Zhu Xiaojuan made this summary after she finished telling her story.
Is spiritual energy useful to this girl? Or is she particularly sensitive to spiritual energy? Zhou Yuanyuan pondered.
"Yuanyuan, I've been sticking to you these days because when I'm with you, my funnel-brain can actually leave me with some memory. This week, I still remember the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" that the Chinese teacher talked about in class on Tuesday, although I only remember two sentences from it. But for me, this is simply a miracle! Really, Yuanyuan, I've been very, very happy these days. I'm happy that my illness has finally improved a little bit, which makes me think that my illness may still be cured. After all, it has indeed improved, hasn't it? Over the years, I don't know how many times I've dreamed that I became normal, and I am no longer the Zhu Xiaojuan with the funnel brain. But when a new day begins, I am still me..." Zhu Xiaojuan shed tears and naggled a lot.
"Sister Xiaojuan, you are great! I admire you very much. You have never given up over the years." Zhou Yuanyuan comforted Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Really? Am I really that great?" Zhu Xiaojuan smiled. Over the years, Zhou Yuanyuan was the only one who praised Zhu Xiaojuan, and she did so sincerely. Unlike her former "friends," who praised Zhu Xiaojuan with their mouths but despised her in their hearts.
Zhu Xiaojuan discovered her ability to "read minds" from those "friends"! Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaojuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yeah, Sister Xiaojuan, you're really great! If it were me, I would have given up long ago." Zhou Yuanyuan patted the quilt covering Zhu Xiaojuan and said, "Sister Xiaojuan, go to sleep! A good night's sleep will always give you a better tomorrow."
"Yeah, I hope tomorrow will be better." Zhu Xiaojuan muttered.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Xiaojuan relaxed after saying the words that had been weighing on her heart for years, or perhaps it was because Zhou Yuanyuan's comfort had a hint of "magic", under Zhou Yuanyuan's gentle patting, Zhu Xiaojuan finally slowly fell into a deep sleep.
"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, are you free?" After Zhu Xiaojuan fell asleep, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't sleep.
"Master, Xiaoyu is here." Xiaoyu replied.
"Xiao Yu, is there any way we can help Zhu Xiaojuan? She is like this... so pitiful." Regardless of anything else, just because of Zhu Xiaojuan's efforts, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to help Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Master, in Zhu Xiaojuan's situation... Xiaoyu feels that there is a high possibility that she has been cursed." Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before answering.
Xiaoyu actually wanted to dissuade Zhou Yuanyuan from paying any attention to Zhu Xiaojuan. After all, Zhou Yuanyuan was very busy and had a lot to do. Zhu Xiaojuan was just an ordinary girl, and Xiaoyu felt that Zhou Yuanyuan was wasting her energy on her.
"Xiaoyu, do you have a way to break the curse on Zhu Xiaojuan?" Zhou Yuanyuan was as straightforward as ever. Zhou Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu were connected, and she knew Xiaoyu's concerns. But she couldn't just stand by and watch Zhu Xiaojuan suffer.
Meeting is fate, and Zhou Yuanyuan always believed that some things are predestined. Zhou Yuanyuan's unintentional decision to skip a grade led to her and Zhu Xiaojuan's friendship, leading to Zhu Xiaojuan's heartfelt openness to her tonight. Although Zhu Xiaojuan didn't share her anguish and fear with Zhou Yuanyuan, her insistence on staying at her house today and revealing everything to her was, in effect, a plea for help.
"Master, please wait a minute, Xiaoyu will check the jade slip." Seeing that she could not change Zhou Yuanyuan's mind, Xiaoyu had to quickly relieve her master's worries.
