Jiang Xizhi didn’t understand how Zhou Yining could laugh. If she had this kind of phone, she would have thrown it away in anger.
Jiang Xizhi took a few deep breaths to hold back her temper.
She stood there waiting for Zhou Yining.
Zhou Yining had already restarted her phone, although the speed of restarting was still very slow.
After being stuck for nearly a minute, Zhou Yining managed to open WeChat with difficulty, and then scanned Jiang Xizhi. However, after scanning it, the phone froze again.
Jiang Xizhi completely exploded, “Can you get a new phone? Can you even use this thing?”
“I can’t get a new one for now, I don’t have money. Wait for me, it’ll be fine soon, really soon.” Zhou Yining said in a coaxing tone while pressing the phone.
Finally, she successfully added Jiang Xizhi.
Jiang Xizhi pressed add, and glared at Zhou Yining,
“Okay, I’ll have someone check it when I get back today, and I’ll tell you if there’s any news.”
“Okay, thank you, Classmate Jiang, you’re really a good person.” Zhou Yining smiled at Jiang Xizhi.
Jiang Xizhi gave her a disgusted look,
“That’s right, you’re right to ask me for help. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“Wait, I have something else I’d like to trouble you with, can you help me?” Zhou Yining coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
She had only met Jiang Xizhi twice, and in theory, she shouldn’t be bothering her.
But the original owner’s situation was really bad, and if she wanted to free up her hands to do things, she had to do it one thing at a time.
As for the favour she owed Jiang Xizhi, she could only find a chance to repay it in the future.
She was so poor right now that she had no way to repay Jiang Xizhi’s favor.
“What is it?” Jiang Xizhi turned around, not feeling impatient. In the past, there were many people in the school who wanted to curry favour with her, but those people were basically secretly trying to get benefits from her.
This Zhou Yining was quite different. She dared to say what she needed help with directly.
“Can you keep this notebook for me for a while? My family’s situation is special, and there’s no place to put it. I’m not comfortable leaving it at school, and this thing has been taken away once. There must be that person’s fingerprints in it, and it’s very important evidence.” Zhou Yining explained very seriously.
Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining suspiciously, “You trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll look through the contents?”
Zhou Yining smiled at her, “If you suspect someone, don’t use them. I trust you.”
Jiang Xizhi’s eyes were directly facing Zhou Yining’s eyes.
Zhou Yining’s gaze was clear when she smiled at her, and Jiang Xizhi nodded as if possessed.
When she reacted, the pink notebook was already in her hands.
Jiang Xizhi was a little annoyed. Zhou Yining liked Zhang Ye, and she should obviously hate Zhou Yining.
How was she helping Zhou Yining now?
But Zhou Yining had said so, and she was also doing it to clear her own name, so Jiang Xizhi still took the notebook.
“Okay, I’ll keep it for you for now, and we’ll talk about it after we find that person.”
“Thank you.” Zhou Yining thanked her again.
Although saying thank you was the most useless thing, it was all she could do for now.
Jiang Xizhi heard Zhou Yining thank her again, and she raised her face proudly, “Let’s go, it’s almost time for self-study.”
“Okay.” The corners of Zhou Yining’s lips curved, and she followed Jiang Xizhi out of the playground together.
The two of them hadn’t walked a few steps when they ran into Zhang Ye and the pretty girl who was with Zhang Ye last time, who were also walking out of the playground.
Zhou Yining just glanced at the two of them, and she was about to continue walking when Zhang Ye stopped her.
“Wait.”
Zhou Yining stopped and met Zhang Ye’s gaze, “What is it?”
“Didn’t I tell you to delete those things on the confession wall?” Zhang Ye’s tone was unkind.
“I know, but deleting those things takes time, and it wasn’t me who posted the things on the confession wall. Finding the person who posted those things also takes time.
When I find them, I’ll naturally delete the things on the confession wall. Or, if you can’t wait, you can call the police directly.” Zhou Yining looked at Zhang Ye and said calmly.
“You…”
“Okay, don’t make things difficult for Zhou Yining. She’s right, it wasn’t her who posted the things on the confession wall, and deleting them takes time.” The girl next to Zhang Ye persuaded.
Zhang Ye snorted coldly, “Who knows if she’s doing it on purpose?”
Zhou Yining was amused by this, and she was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Ye, “Crazy.”
After saying that, Zhou Yining walked straight ahead, leaving Zhang Ye half dead with anger.
“Look at her attitude?” Saying that, Zhang Ye shouted at Zhou Yining again,
“Don’t think you can attract my attention by doing this, I will never like someone like you.”
Zhou Yining didn’t even turn her head, feeling that this Zhang Ye was really pretentious.
She could beat this kind of pretentious guy with one punch, okay?
Jiang Xizhi, on the other hand, stood still. When she saw Zhong Yumeng standing next to Zhang Ye, she immediately became angry.
Seeing that Zhou Yining didn’t even give him a look, Zhang Ye became even more angry, and he directly vented his anger on Jiang Xizhi,
“And you, I told you I don’t like young mistresses like you, can you stay away from me in the future.”
Jiang Xizhi was dumbfounded.
What had she done to offend Zhang Ye?
She hadn’t said a word, so why was Zhang Ye treating her like this?
Jiang Xizhi sniffed and ran away.
She was still wondering what she liked about Zhang Ye on the way back.
Jiang Xizhi didn’t understand until she got back to the class.
Was it because Zhang Ye had good grades since he was a child, looked good, and was very eye-catching in their circle of rich second generations?
Or was it because she and Zhang Ye had been in the same school since they were young, and she inexplicably felt that she liked Zhang Ye?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
It seemed that she was just treating liking Zhang Ye as a habit. As for whether she really liked him, Jiang Xizhi didn’t think so.
Jiang Xizhi was so upset all night that she still couldn’t figure out what she was thinking even after evening self-study was over.
On the other side, Zhou Yining packed her things and walked out with Tian Xue.
“I heard people in the class say that you went to find Zhang Ye again this afternoon?”
Zhou Yining thought for a moment, knowing that she and Zhang Ye must have been seen talking at the playground, and they had started spreading rumors again.
“I didn’t go find him, I just happened to run into him.” Zhou Yining explained, she would be crazy to go find that kind of pretentious person.
“It’s good that you didn’t, people like us shouldn’t provoke those darlings of fortune, lest we get ourselves into trouble.” Tian Xue looked at Zhou Yining through her thick bangs and glasses.
Zhou Yining frowned slightly, “What’s wrong with us? Aren’t we all human? Does Zhang Ye have more than one nose and two eyes? Is he made of gold?”
“How can we compare to Zhang Ye? His family is very rich, he studies well, and he’s handsome. There aren’t many girls in school who don’t like him.” Tian Xue’s tone was hurried, as if she was defending Zhang Ye.
“What does that have to do with me? His starting point is good, entirely because his family conditions are good. A person’s upper limit isn’t just based on their family.
Who will live better in the future is unknown. How do you know I won’t live better than him in the future?”
Zhou Yining was an orphan in her previous life.
She was able to achieve those results entirely through her own efforts.
Having been reborn, Zhou Yining didn’t think she would live worse than she did in her previous life.
Tian Xue was stunned.
She looked at Zhou Yining with a strange gaze, “You really seem different from before.”
In her impression, Zhou Yining, like her, was inferior and timid, and didn’t even dare to look people in the eye when she spoke to them.
The previous Zhou Yining would never have said these words today.
“Yeah, it’s nothing bad. That’s how women should be, confident and radiant, let’s go.” Zhou Yining smiled and walked straight out.
Tian Xue’s gaze towards Zhou Yining was obscure and unclear.
She remained silent and walked out with Zhou Yining.
After Zhou Yining left the teaching building, she took a few deep breaths.
The smell in the class was really bad, with the smell of spicy strips and the sweaty smell of boys not washing their feet.
Zhou Yining felt like she was alive again after coming out.
She and Tian Xue walked along the way, but Tian Xue didn’t say much tonight.
Zhou Yining was happy to have some peace and quiet, and the two separated when they reached the fork in the road.
When she got downstairs, it was already after nine o’clock in the evening.
Zhou Yining went upstairs and came to the door of 501, and opened the door with the key.
Zhao Xiuna heard the noise and came out of the bedroom, “You’re back? Are you hungry? Go wash your hands, and I’ll cook you wontons to eat. I made them all this afternoon, and they’ll be ready soon.”
Zhou Yining nodded at her.
She always felt that Zhao Xiuna’s attitude towards her was unusually good now.
But Zhou Yining was also hungry.
She had just had a bite to eat in the cafeteria for dinner, but it was already nine o’clock, and she had burned it off long ago.
Zhou Yining went into the bathroom to wash her hands, and took off her school uniform jacket.
When Zhou Yining looked up, she saw the mirror in the bathroom, and had time to take a good look at herself.
She stared at herself in the mirror, and found that the original owner looked almost exactly the same as her in her previous life, except that this body was not yet 18 years old, and her face was more youthful than when she was in her twenties.
The most important thing was that the original owner had thick bangs, which covered part of her originally bright eyes.
Zhou Yining fiddled with her hair.
She was speechless about this hairstyle.
Even side bangs were better than these straight bangs.
She decided to find a chance to earn some money and quickly get her hair cut, to avoid looking so countrified.
Her appearance was originally the cool type, but now she had this cute straight bangs, making her look dull.
Zhou Yining washed her face and then came out of the bathroom.
In the living room, Zhao Xiuna had already brought out the wontons, “Yining, come and eat.”
“Okay.” Zhou Yining walked over and started eating in a hurry.
Seeing her eating so deliciously, Zhao Xiuna had a loving look on her face. Seeing that her daughter was in a good mood, she started nagging in a low voice.
“Don’t be angry with your younger brother. He’s just starting junior high school, he’s still a child. Aren’t all siblings fighting and making noise? When your dad and I are gone in the future, your younger brother will be your support.”
Zhou Yining was still eating quite deliciously, but when she heard this, her appetite was greatly reduced.
It seemed that the original owner’s parents had often brainwashed the original owner, but she wouldn’t listen to these words, she wasn’t the original owner.
“Come on, he’s a child, am I not a child? Why should I always give in to him? Just because he’s a boy?” Zhou Yining asked directly.
This made Zhao Xiuna stunned.
In the past, her daughter was the most sensible.
Whatever she said, her daughter would listen to.
How was her daughter like a firecracker today, exploding at the slightest touch.
She was afraid of waking up her husband and son if she continued talking, and quickly appeased her,
“Okay, okay, we won’t talk about it, eat quickly, and rest early after you’re done.”
Zhou Yining took a deep breath, ate the wontons in the bowl, and then got up and returned to the dining room.
