Wen Nian sensed the tension in the air and decided not to push the subject further. She wasn’t good at comforting people, so she abruptly changed the topic. “I’ve checked the answers to the questions I got wrong, but I’m still having trouble understanding some of them.”

Wen Nian trailed off mid-sentence, but her gaze toward Shen Jun conveyed the unspoken question, “Can you help me understand?”

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian, who was biting her lower lip and looking very careful at him with her big eyes. The anger in his heart suddenly subsided, and he took the exercise book from her and began to explain the questions she had difficulty with.

As usual, they continued with their extra hour of tutoring after school had ended. Typically, by this time, most students would have already hurried home for the weekend, leaving the school grounds silent.

However, today was different. It was the school’s anniversary, and the school had announced that those who wanted to stay after school to watch the evening performance could do so.

There were only a few rows of seats available in the back of the auditorium. If they didn’t manage to grab one, they would have to stand in the empty space at the back and watch. As a result, only a small number of people in the school were still waiting to join in the festivities.

The two of them descended the stairs side by side. Shen Jun had proposed to make up for the missed classes last week in order to help Wen Nian finish learning the first-year high school materials as soon as possible. However, this week, everything had returned to normal, and Wen Nian continued to visit the Shen family just to clean up, as per usual.

Shen Jun took the initiative to discuss their plans for the weekend. “Once you finish sorting out the problems you encounter over the weekend, send me a message on WeChat at 10pm every night. I’ll find some time to reply to you.”

Wen Nian nodded eagerly. “Okay! Have you finished the dumplings I made for you last time? If not, I can make some more for you this week.”

Wen Nian was concerned about Shen Jun’s mood today and wanted to cheer him up. Over the past few weeks, she had noticed that Shen Jun’s one-on-one tutoring was even more effective than her brother’s tutoring!

If it weren’t for the fact that Shen Jun would definitely be going home and visiting families during the winter break, she would have shamelessly asked for video lessons every day.

It was not easy to find high-quality academic support, and Shen Jun had even helped her during a critical moment without asking any questions. Wen Nian cherished his help and decided to show concern for every aspect of Shen Jun’s life in the future to strengthen their relationship.

The dumplings in Shen Jun’s house had indeed been consumed, so when Wen Nian offered to make more, he accepted without hesitation, “Sure, if it’s not too much trouble.”

Wen Nian waved her hand and said, “No trouble at all, see you tomorrow at nine.”

After saying goodbye, the two of them parted ways under the teaching building.

Huang Yue had just finished doing her makeup outside and was getting ready to head to the auditorium. The student union member in charge of the program was captivated by her beauty, so she managed to secure a higher spot in the lineup. She quickly rushed back to get ready for her performance.

Huang Yue was walking past the teaching building in her new high heels she had bought over the weekend when she saw Wen Nian and Shen Jun. Though she couldn’t hear their conversation, Huang Yue noticed a gentleness in Shen Jun’s eyes towards Wen Nian, which was completely different from how he treated her on that day.

Huang Yue thought it was unfair as she secretly cursed Wen Nian for being a slut with a seductive face! Previously, Wen Nian couldn’t forget Wei Xiao. However, the moment Wei Xiao left, Wen Nian couldn’t bear the loneliness and started hooking up with Shen Jun!

Looking at Wen Nian’s pure and fair face, Huang Yue felt that she had to do something.

She had been too busy to care about Wen Nian recently, so she had allowed this b*tch to live comfortably these past few days.

As Wen Nian had to stay after school for tutoring, Wen Yu had left his bicycle for her to use and walked to the noodle shop to wait for her.

As soon as Wen Nian reached the bicycle shed, she saw Huang Yue walking towards her in a dress.

Huang Yue quickly stepped forward and held Wen Nian’s arm. She said with a smile, “Wen Nian, I need your help with something.”

Wen Nian glanced at Huang Yue, unsure of what ideas she might have come up with. However, she maintained a calm smile and asked, “Sure. It seems your leg has recovered quickly?”

When Huang Yue heard Wen Nian’s words, the smile on her face froze slightly, and she tried to put on a fake smile. “Oh, I’ve been fine for a long time. You’ve been too busy with your studies to care about me.”

Wen Nian listened to Huang Yue’s fake flirtation and refrained from rolling her eyes. She responded with a sigh, “I have no choice. My parents will become even stricter. If I don’t do well this semester, they might actually break my leg.”

Huang Yue hooked her arm around Wen Nian’s and led her towards the auditorium, unable to resist showing off. “You know, this is the 100th anniversary of our school. We have many celebrities and alumni attending the event, even the city government’s leaders are here to watch our performance!”

“My parents think that I’ve been studying too hard recently, so they want to take me to Yellow Mountain near Lin City for a break. We’re leaving tonight. I already informed the student union last week that they needed to find a replacement for me, but the student insisted that I still had to perform..”
