The woman looked embarrassed, but she was extremely indignant. She wouldn't pay any occupancy fee. She'd wait until she picked up her son and went home, then see where he could find her.
She didn't believe Yan Hanxi would really come knocking on her door to ask for it back.
With that thought in mind, the woman took her child home.
He Jing was holding He Xiaoguo on the bus, while He Zhou stood beside her like a wooden statue, his gloomy face as cold as ice pulled from a cellar. He said with a hint of displeasure, "He Jing, stay away from Yan Hanxi. We can't afford to associate with someone like him."
He Jing had no intention of clinging to Yan Hanxi, but she found He Zhou's words quite strange. She smiled faintly without being annoyed or angry and asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother?"
"Don't ask why, just do as I say!"
He Jing, however, seemed to understand him perfectly: "Is Third Brother afraid that Yan Hanxi will hurt me?"
He Zhou said coolly, "It's best if you know."
Someone of Yan Hanxi's status has seen all kinds of girls, so it's impossible for him to be serious about her. Being at the bottom of society, he has seen too many realistic and cruel stories.
Men can also dislike women who are poor. Dating is one thing, but marrying them is another. The Yan family is so rich, they will definitely find someone of equal social standing. Cinderella stories don't happen so easily.
Rather than letting He Jing pursue her dream of marrying into a wealthy family, which has a slim chance of being realized, he would prefer that He Jing find a sweet and loving partner, someone who is understanding and caring.
Even if he is not as good as her, even if the rest of the He family looks down on him, he will still give his full support. His sister's happiness is the most important thing. She cannot suffer even the slightest hardship, not even the hardship of love!
He Jing laughed: "Don't worry, Third Brother, Yan Hanxi and I won't get along, and I haven't even considered that possibility."
The plot is more important than anything else; even if she wanted to, she couldn't reach it. She should stop thinking about those things and focus on her studies.
He Zhou's expression softened a bit. He looked away and stopped talking. The three of them returned in complete silence.
...
Studying was a tedious and boring experience, but He Jing enjoyed it. Compared to the hardships of working hard after entering society, the amount of study was nothing.
The next day, the homeroom teacher called her to the office.
"Congratulations, He Jing, on your excellent results in the National Physics Competition."
Bringing glory to the school and honor to the class, the homeroom teacher was beaming with joy. The more she looked at He Jing, the happier she became. What good luck she had to teach such a prodigy! Not only was she outstanding in chemistry, but she was also so excellent in physics.
Early in the morning, the physics teacher rushed into her office excitedly. She thought he had been robbed, but he brought her such great news.
He Jing asked, "Thank you, teacher. Um... I wanted to ask, what number am I?"
The homeroom teacher shook his head, his face beaming: "I just received the news. We don't know the exact ranking yet, but the award ceremony will be held at the Great Hall of the People. This is truly an outstanding achievement. He Jing, get ready to go to the capital to receive the award on Monday."
He Jing's eyes crinkled with joy, and she quickly replied, "Okay, thank you, teacher."
After a pause, she asked again, "Is Yan Hanxi with me?"
"Of course." The homeroom teacher beamed. "You and Yan Hanxi might even take the top two spots. In fact, reporters have already contacted the school to interview you. You can consider whether to accept the interview when you return from the capital."
She even came up with the newspaper headlines for the reporters, such as "How a Genius Girl is Made," and she, as the homeroom teacher, would also have the honor of appearing in the news.
P.S.: I never participated in the competition, so all the information about it is made up. I'm not sure if it's possible that I won an award but don't know my place. Everything is for the sake of the plot. I'll add an extra chapter the day after tomorrow. Goodnight.
