Chapter 78 Will Not Be Taken Off
When Jiang Wan returned home in the evening, she carried large and small bags of gifts into her room. Jiang Ronghai and Shan Tong also helped her carry some.
"Dad, Mom, please put it on the sofa for me first." Jiang Wan turned around and gestured towards the sofa with her lips. "I'll tidy it up myself later."
"Okay." Shan Tong walked to the sofa, put down the bag in her hand, glanced at the pile of gifts, and asked curiously, "What gift did Zhou Chong give you?"
Jiang Wan stood in front of the desk, thought for a moment, and without revealing the cinnabar bracelet on her wrist, picked up the few textbooks and notebooks that had just been tidied up on the desk, and said, "Here, these."
Dan Tong turned around and looked at the thick stack of teaching materials that Jiang Wan was holding. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Zhou Chong gave such a good gift. It's practical, thoughtful, and considerate of you."
“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Wan nodded in agreement. “I really like it. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to work on these problems properly. No, I’m going to start tonight.”
Dan Tong walked over and affectionately patted Jiang Wan's head. "Alright, it's so late today. Take a day off to relax on your birthday. Start doing your homework tomorrow. There's no rush. Don't push yourself too hard."
"Yes." Jiang Wan nodded and smiled. "Mom, I know."
"Then you should rest well, your parents won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Shan Tong called Jiang Ronghai and they walked out of Jiang Wan's room together.
After closing the door for Jiang Wan, Shan Tong chuckled and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Ronghai, "Did you see that? Zhou Chong gave Wanwan a set of supplementary teaching materials."
“I saw it.” Jiang Ronghai shook his head with a smile. “It seems Zhou Chong really has no interest in our Wanwan. He actually gave her study materials as a birthday present.”
"Hey, what do you know?" Shan Tong waved his hand. "Feelings can be cultivated over time, but what does this incident prove?"
"What?" Jiang Ronghai asked, puzzled.
"It proves I really didn't misjudge him; Zhou Chong is truly a remarkable young man!" Shan Tong raised her eyebrows proudly and walked back to her room, satisfied.
Jiang Ronghai was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head before following Shan Tong back to the room.

Jiang Wan tidied up the other gifts, sat back down at her desk, and briefly flipped through the few supplementary textbooks Zhou Chong had given her.
Then he opened Zhou Chong's handwritten chemistry notebook and read it line by line.
After reviewing over the winter break, with Zhou Chong's help, she now has a solid grasp of the three subjects of physics, chemistry, and biology.
Normal difficulty test questions are basically no problem for her.
At the beginning of the semester, the school had just organized a diagnostic test. She felt pretty good about the test. Except for the last one or two sub-questions on a few challenging questions, she answered the other questions smoothly.
The total score for the three science subjects also improved by about ten points compared to the previous mock exam.
She maintained a stable performance in Chinese, Mathematics, and English, and her total score reached 695, which is not far from her previous level.
With more than three months to go, she believed that if she kept going, she would have no problem getting into Tsinghua University.
Zhou Chong was well aware of her current situation, and the supplementary textbooks he selected were for her to make a breakthrough. Combined with his personally compiled notes, they greatly improved the efficiency of consolidation and reinforcement.
Jiang Wan quickly flipped through the notebook, closed the cover, and her gaze fell on the red mark on her wrist.
She raised her hand and gently pulled down the sleeve of her nightgown, revealing the Bodhi seed on her cinnabar bracelet.
The natural texture, varying in depth, feels hard and smooth to the touch, with a slightly frosted feel.
Jiang Wan smiled softly.
It turns out that Zhou Chong would think of her even when she couldn't see him or when she didn't know it.
Like her, he had never forgotten their promise.
Zhou Chong, I will definitely get into Tsinghua University, and I'll be with you.
We will have no regrets in this life.

The next day, I returned to school in the afternoon.
Jiang Wan walked into the classroom with a heavy schoolbag on her back. As soon as she returned to her seat, she couldn't wait to take out a supplementary textbook from her schoolbag and put it on Zhou Chong's desk.
“I did two chapters of the project at home, but there are a few questions I don’t quite understand. You said you’ve done them all, so I’d like you to teach me.”
Zhou Chong closed the book in front of him, put down his pen, took out a pencil from his pencil case, and tilted his head to look at Jiang Wan, "Which questions don't you understand?"
Jiang Wan smiled knowingly at the overly familiar movements and tone, and turned the folded page of the book. "Here, this is the first one."
Zhou Chong lowered his head to look at the question.
Jiang Wan took out a draft paper from the drawer, turned it to a blank page, placed it next to him, and neatly flattened it.
Because of her action, the heel of her palm pressed against the snow-white draft paper, moving it back and forth several times, and the red mark on her wrist was faintly visible between the cuffs of her school uniform.
Naturally, Zhou Chong's attention was drawn to him.
Her wrists were already white, and when reflected on the snow-white paper and illuminated by the afternoon sun, they appeared almost luminous.
The few cinnabar dots that were faintly visible appeared even more radiant, perfectly complementing her.
Noticing Zhou Chong's gaze pause, Jiang Wan assumed he had finished reading the question. "You understood it so quickly! Teach me!"
As he spoke, he moved the draft paper closer to his hand.
The wrist adorned with the cinnabar bracelet was also pressed against his wrist.
Zhou Chong looked away and cleared his throat. "Uh, not yet. Let me check again."
"not yet?"
Jiang Wan blinked in confusion, tilted her head, and stared at Zhou Chong's eyes for a long time. As if she had thought of something, she pulled up a sleeve and stretched out her right hand in front of Zhou Chong. "Do you see that?"
Zhou Chong was taken aback, then nodded. "I saw it."
“I checked online, and it says that you have to wear it every day for it to be more effective.” Jiang Wan gently shook the cinnabar bracelet on her wrist. “So, I will keep wearing it. Now that you’ve put it on me, I won’t take it off easily.”
Zhou Chong gave a soft "hmm" and then lowered his head again, "Let me take another look at this question."
But her heart was subtly filled with joy because of Jiang Wan's promise.
