Chapter 29: The Need To Go To School
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since she was reborn, Huo You had set her mind on becoming a socialite from a rich family that everyone would envy. Before she returned to the Huo Family, Huo You had strictly conducted herself with the standards of a socialite.
She worked hard in her studies and entered Qingli High School, which she did not even dare to think about in her previous life, with her excellent grades. She then sped up her return to the Huo Family.
Over the years, Huo You, who had excellent grades as well as a gentle and generous personality, had gained the favor of almost all the teachers.
However, her form teacher this year was clearly unhappy with her. Huo You could tell that every single word he said was warning her!
Huo You sat down angrily, anger boiling in her heart. Was this teacher blind? How could he make things so difficult for her over Huo Tian, a student who was a troublemaker and had poor grades?!
It was Huo Tian again. She had already left the Huo Family, so why was she still being an eyesore to her? A dark thought popped up in Huo You’s mind. Could it be that the only way she could be completely free from Huo Tian was to have her leave this world?
Mr. Wang announced the class rules on the podium, but almost everyone could not concentrate. The boys in the back row secretly turned their heads to look at Huo Tian while Mr. Wang was not paying attention.
She sat alone in a corner of the last row, her head propped up on her hand as she listened to the teacher talking. She tried hard to raise her eyelids, but they slowly closed. After a while, her entire body was sprawled on the table, vividly portraying the word “tired”.
There were no lessons scheduled for the first day of school. Every class would be dismissed after the class meeting. By the time Mr. Wang announced that they could do whatever they wished, the students from the other classes were already having fun.
Some students from other classes waited outside the classroom. Out of which, the ones who stood out the most were the group of three with Si Huan, Zhao Feng, and Bi Ying.
Si Huan and Zhao Feng were famous in the school, so everyone was more curious about Bi Ying’s identity. Some students could not help but wonder what kind of outstanding family background this student must have for him to be able to stand next to Si Huan with such confidence? What kind of extraordinary person were they waiting so idly for?
Mr. Wang saw Si Huan when he walked out of the classroom. He thought of how it was Si Huan’s persistence that allowed Huo Tian to obtain the opportunity to take the admission tests, thus allowing him to obtain such a precious genius. Hence, Mr. Wang smiled at Si Huan in an especially amicable manner.
“Si Huan? Are you able to get used to the student union’s work?”
Si Huan said, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wang. I heard from the academic director that Huo Tian was assigned to your class and came to look for her with some friends.”
“Looks like you guys are on good terms with Huo Tian. I’m relieved. She doesn’t seem to be very good at getting along with her classmates. As her friends, you guys can show her more concern.”
Si Huan said, “Don’t worry, teacher. I promised Huo Tian’s mother that I would take care of her.”
“Si Huan! Bi Ying! Are you here to eat with me?!” Huo Tian stuck her head out of the classroom door. “Wait for me, the study representative is handing me textbooks!”
Bi Ying waved at Huo Tian. “Take your time. Don’t rush.”
Suddenly, the classroom door seemed to have been kicked roughly by someone. There was a loud thud, and then Huo You stormed out of the classroom. She didn’t seem to see Mr. Wang and walked right past him!
Si Huan frowned. “Huo You is in this class too?”
Mr. Wang explained awkwardly, “The Year Two students are randomly assigned by the system. The teachers can’t change them as they wish.”
Si Huan said, “I just think Huo Tian might be affected.”
Bi Ying, who looked like a person of few words, suddenly said, “It doesn’t matter. If Huo Tian is unhappy in school, we’ll drop out together. After all, school is not necessary for us.”
Mr. Wang held his breath. He wanted to grab Bi Ying and shake him hard so that he could forget about this idea!
Si Huan said calmly, “I’ve already discussed with the school’s management about building a laboratory for the two of you. The workshop you guys have at home won’t have better research conditions than the school laboratory.”
Mr. Wang heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s right, that’s right. Bi Ying, if you attend school, you can at least use the laboratory for free. How would school be unnecessary?”
Bi Ying looked at Si Huan. “But doesn’t your company have a professional laboratory?”
Si Huan said, “Our company will not recruit underage employees who don’t have a degree from a key university and…”
Huo Tian, who had left the classroom, heard part of the conversation. She said to Bi Ying, “Going to school is still beneficial. Besides having access to a laboratory, we’ll also have a chance to participate in the world-class technological innovation competition. We can come into contact with the most advanced technological achievements. This is also why I’m wasting my time to come to school.”
Mr. Wang was rendered speechless by Huo Tian’s bluntness, but they did not seem to care about how the teachers felt about this.
Bi Ying nodded and said, “I see.”
Huo Tian added, “But it’s more important to be happy. If they keep looking for trouble, I might really not come one day.”
Mr. Wang promised, “Huo Tian, don’t worry. I will definitely manage the class well and not let other students find trouble for you.”
Huo Tian reminded him, “Especially that Huo You!”
