Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A bespectacled female classmate adjusted her glasses and rolled her eyes. “Don’t celebrities have bosses?If they are employed by someone, they are working for someone? If you think that industry is that good, why don’t you drop out of school?”

“There are so many child stars. I’ve only heard of them working and studying part-time. Wen Nian hasn’t even stepped into the industry yet, and you’re already cutting off any path of retreat. That’s despicable.”

Huang Yue’s eyes reddened when she saw that the comments were taking Wen Nian’s side. “I just wanted Wen Nian to focus on one thing so that she would have a better chance of making a name for herself. Now I understand. it’s stupid of me for trying to be a kind person! I always want to treat other people’s matters as my own. I won’t meddle anymore in the future!”

The more Huang Yue spoke, the more agitated she became. After saying that, she ran out of the classroom.

Wen Nian clicked her tongue secretly. If she had such acting skills when she first entered the industry, she would definitely be able to become famous with her ability.

Seeing that Wen Nian did not intend to chase after her, the classmates who were watching the commotion teased, “Wen Nian, Huang Yue suffered because of you. Aren’t you going to comfort her?”

Wen Nian scratched her forehead and replied with a troubled expression, “Actually, Huang Yue said that she wanted to cut ties with me. It won’t be good if I chase after her now and make her even angrier.” With that, she returned to her seat with a troubled expression.

“Wen Nian deliberately blurred the sequence of events, causing everyone to think that Huang Yue’s suggestion for her to drop out of school happened first, followed by the decision to cut ties.”

Moreover, most of the students were not stupid. They didn’t believe that Huang Yue’s suggestion was really for Wen Nian’s benefit. Otherwise, she could have given the same suggestion as what a classmate earlier had suggested, which was to work and study part-time. After all, there were not many child stars who did not continue their education in order to enter the entertainment industry.

Since the main character of the incident had left, no one paid attention to this matter anymore.

The last class on Friday afternoon was Mathematics. Li Fang had just started class when she was called to the principal’s office. She could only ask everyone read the textbook and do their own questions.

When Wen Nian was working on the unit exercise book, she encountered a challenging question that got her stuck. Even after looking at the reference answers, she still didn’t know how to answer it. She spent ten minutes studying it, but it was useless even if she wrote and calculated. In the end, she propped half of her face with one hand, frowned, and sighed heavily.

Shen Jun planned to relax during the second half of class. He took out his phone and started playing games, as he was able to easily multitask when doing simple things. He noticed that the girl sitting next to him had been struggling with a math question for a while. Shen Jun took a quick glance at the problem but didn’t say anything. He was amused by the various expressions on Wen Nian’s face and decided to keep observing.

When the bell rang, Wen Nian still had not finished the question. Shen Jun picked up a pencil from the table and drew two lines on her notebook. “Try this method.”

Shen Jun’s voice sounded cold and aloof. Wen Nian was stunned for a moment. This was the second sentence they exchanged after they became deskmates. “Oh.”

When Wen Nian came back to her senses and looked at the question again, her eyes lit up. Half a minute later, she understood Shen Jun’s solution. This was much easier than the solution given by the answer!

Wen Nian wanted to thank Shen Jun after solving the question, but she realized that he was long gone. She began to pack the books and papers she wanted to read this weekend into her bag and bring them home.

After class, Wen Yu took out his car and waited in front of the teaching building. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he still did not see Wen Nian. He started to worry and thought about going forward to look for her. However, he then saw Wen Nian arrive late with a big school bag. His worried expression quickly turned into disdain. “Tsk, I thought I was going to have to pick you up with a wheelchair. Everyone in school is almost gone.”

Wen Nian rolled her eyes at Wen Yu and went forward to hug his arm. She threatened, “Don’t worry. If my leg is broken, I’ll order you around every day. You won’t get a break at all.”

Wen Yu reached out and rubbed the top of Wen Nian’s head. After making Wen Nian’s hair stand on end as usual, he smiled and got on the bike. “Get in quickly.”

Wen Nian looked at her brother’s broad back and smiled. She muttered softly, “If this could last forever, that would be good.”

Wen Yu saw the shadow cast on the ground by the sun. Just as Wen Nian was about to get on the bike, he suddenly kicked forward a few times and stopped a meter away. He looked back and said with a helpless expression, “Why aren’t you getting on the bike?”

This was Wen Yu’s favorite way of teasing Wen Nian. This was to mock Wen Nian for being timid and not daring to jump into the back seat when the bicycle was moving.

When Wen Nian saw this long-lost joke, she shook her head and played along twice. But when it happened for the fifth time, she took a deep breath and pressed the tip of her tongue against the back of her teeth. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Wen Yu. “If you dare to do it again, I’ll tear the autographed poster in your room when we get home later!”
