The swollen, dark face before me was completely different from the delicate, beautiful little girl I remembered. However, upon closer inspection, the facial features were still exactly the same.
Su Manao lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang."
This face clearly looks like it's been slapped. Teacher Zhang asked, "Agate, who hit you?"
At this question, Su Manao's tears welled up again.
Why don't you ask her who hasn't hit her these past few days?
Aunt Wu pulled Teacher Zhang aside and whispered something to him.
After hearing about the little girl's experience, Teacher Zhang's young and tender heart ached instantly.
She took Su Manao's dirty little hand: "Manao, why don't you come back to the dormitory with me for a few days? There's a spare bed in the dormitory. You can come back after your family's situation stabilizes. That way, you can go to school properly, okay?"
Su Manao looked at Aunt Wu, who nodded.
So Su Manao obediently nodded. Inwardly, she was overjoyed—her lucky charm skill must have activated again! Otherwise, where did this sucker come from?
Teacher Zhang took Su Manao's hand and left.
Upon arriving at Teacher Zhang's bright and clean faculty dormitory, Su Manao couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

Su Manao stood at the door, too afraid to move.
She knew how dirty she was.

The first basin of water was almost black.
Fortunately, the hot water room was right next to this room.
Teacher Zhang brought eight kettles of boiling water to thoroughly clean the agate.
Then, Su Manao put on Teacher Zhang's clean clothes and sat on the bed.
Teacher Zhang began to comb her hair.
Her hair hadn't been properly combed for days. Although Guan Yumei had cut it short, it was still tangled in many places.
Teacher Zhang combed her hair very patiently, taking almost half an hour to comb it all out.
Su Manao felt extremely good at that moment.
This feeling was just like when Su Ruyi used to serve her.
Even more so, Teacher Zhang's hands were lighter and gentler than Su Ruyi's!
