~9 min read 1,634 words

Li Juan didn't sleep well last night.

In the middle of the night, her brother suddenly came back, and then her grandfather called him and her father over, chatting for a long time.

She didn't know what trouble her brother had caused, but her father, Li Kaijian, had a bad expression when he came back.

She didn't sleep well at night, and she woke up late in the morning as expected.

As soon as Li Juan opened her eyes, she found that it was bright outside the window, so she hurriedly climbed up to put on her clothes.

She and her mother had to cook for the whole family. If a 14-year-old girl still waited for food all day, wouldn't she be laughed to death?

Putting on her cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded pants, Li Juan picked up her beloved fur-lined cowhide shoes to put on her feet.

However, just as she put on one, she saw a pair of black, small, stylish high-top leather cotton boots appear in front of her.

Li Juan bent over, maintaining the posture of putting on cotton shoes for a full five seconds, before looking up at her younger sister, Li Ying, meeting her triumphant gaze.

"Do they look good?"

11-year-old Li Ying showed off by spinning in front of Li Juan like a little rooster, the size-33 little leather boots making a "tappa tappa tappa" sound on the ground.

Li Juan asked mechanically: "Where did you get the leather shoes?"

Li Ying raised her little head and said proudly: "Mom gave them to me. Provincial capital goods, cotton-lined. Do they look better than yours?"

Li Juan had heard this before; just over ten days ago, she had been showing off to her sister like this.

【Mom is biased. I've been cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of children since I was little, and little sister only knows how to eat... Didn't she just cry once? And she got provincial capital goods?】

Li Juan's head was full of dissatisfaction. She put on her shoes and ran out of the room, rushing into the kitchen to settle the score with Han Chunmei.

"Mom, Mom..."

As soon as Li Juan entered the kitchen, she saw that Han Chunmei was also wearing a pair of brand-new, shiny black leather boots.

She couldn't say a word of the full stomach of complaints. She had indeed done more work than Li Ying since she was little, and she should indeed receive better treatment, but could she compare with Han Chunmei?

Since she could remember, her mother had never gotten up after dawn.

Li Juan's mouth felt bitter. The more she had shown off a few days ago, the more aggrieved she felt now.

The three women in the family all had fur-lined cowhide shoes. She hadn't been low-key but had shown off high-profile.

Now it was good. Her old mother blew a pillow breeze, and her stepfather bought new shoes back, even better than hers.

Han Chunmei saw Li Juan come in and scolded: "Up so late today? Don't want to eat? Go pull the bellows."

Li Juan lowered her head, silently went to pull the bellows, and after holding it for a long time, asked weakly: "Mom, did Dad buy new leather boots for you and little sister?"

Han Chunmei was busy cooking and said casually: "He wouldn't be willing to spend that money. Your brother asked someone to buy them from the provincial capital. Everyone in the family bought a pair.

I put yours in the cupboard. Don't wear them this year. How can you wear two pairs of shoes in one year? Keep them for next year... Sigh, where are you going?"

"........."

Li Juan had already dropped the bellows and ran out of the kitchen.

She ran into the room in one breath, opened the cupboard door, and saw the pair of pitch-black, shiny new leather boots.

Li Juan's eyebrows instantly curved into crescent moons, full of joy.

【Does it matter if I wear them or not? As long as I have them.】

After Li Ye returned to school, he began a fulfilling and busy life.

During class, Li Ye would spend some time listening, after all, the era was different, and the requirements for the exam might be different.

Then he would turn on the biological hard drive in his brain, move and integrate the knowledge related to the college entrance exam from his previous life, and then give Wen Leyu some test questions.

During self-study class, Li Ye would seize the time to write *Lurking*. He was writing more and more smoothly these days and was almost at the second half of the novel.

But Li Ye was busy, so naturally, he "neglected" some others.

"Li Ye, I can't do these two problems no matter what. Explain them to me properly!"

"Sorry! I'm a bit busy here. You should ponder it yourself first! If it really doesn't work, go ask Teacher Hu..."

"Li Ye, Teacher Hu hasn't been very free lately. Can you explain it to me?"

"Teacher Hu isn't free, why do you think I'm free?"

"........."

During the time he was writing the novel, Li Ye also naturally stopped his "compulsory tutoring" for his classmates.

He was busy enough with his own affairs! How could he take care of others?

But after repeatedly refusing the classmates' requests for advice, rumors of "Li Ye not studying properly and writing love letters in class" appeared in the remedial class again.

Several people led by Li Dayong, Hu Man, and Fu Yingjie were furious and launched a massive condemnation against several "ungrateful wretches."

But this move not only had no effect, but the rumors became more and more rampant, even appearing in versions of "Li Ye falling in love in class," dragging Wen Leyu into it as well.

Wen Leyu wasn't a pushover either and immediately took action.

Previously, after she finished the test papers Li Ye gave her, she would take them back at night for Teacher Ke to use as a reference for making test papers. Now she didn't take them anymore; she tore them up as soon as she finished, destroying the evidence.

So in a very short time, the number of practice papers in the remedial class not only decreased sharply, but the question types also gradually lost their novelty.

With this, some people felt even more that Li Ye was useless, because the question types on the papers made by Teacher Ke were all familiar to them, and they could figure them out with a little effort.

【Li Ye, nothing more than this.】

This was just a college entrance exam remedial class. If it were a major martial arts sect, they might have staged a drama of "the apprentice beating the master."

The "top students" led by Xia Yue and Jin Shengli became active again, successfully pulling over many students who had been scolded by Hu Man and Li Dayong.

Li Dayong was very anxious. He felt this was a sign of the "evil forces" coming back to life, but after several exchanges with Li Ye without result, he was helpless.

He didn't know that when Li Ye agreed to help Teacher Ke make questions, he was waiting for this moment. Who was the deep-hearted ungrateful wretch, and who was the trustworthy and loyal good friend, would all surface on their own.

The rumors in the class finally alarmed the teacher. Because it involved Wen Leyu, everyone had to implicitly inform Teacher Ke, letting her understand the situation first.

But after Teacher Ke asked Wen Leyu, she simply couldn't believe her ears.

"What did you say? Li Ye isn't writing love letters, but writing a novel?"

"Yes, I am his proofreader, and it will be completely finished in a few more days."

"Proofreader? You..."

Teacher Ke was speechless. When she asked Li Ye to help each other and learn from each other with Wen Leyu, it was to improve Wen Leyu's habit of not liking to communicate with others.

But you say you two children are "writing a novel" together?

Isn't this making trouble?

However, Teacher Ke didn't immediately oppose it. After all, Wen Leyu's changes during this period were very great.

Watching her daughter's eyes become lively day by day, no longer the dead silence and indifference of the past, Teacher Ke was incomparably happy in her heart.

So Teacher Ke didn't ask Wen Leyu further, but waited until Wen Leyu was fast asleep before quietly opening her schoolbag.

She didn't know from which day it started, but Wen Leyu wouldn't let Teacher Ke touch her schoolbag. Teacher Ke also respected her daughter's privacy, but she didn't expect that Teacher Ke would still be a "little thief" today.

A thick stack of manuscripts was taken out, making Teacher Ke serious.

She was a high-level intellectual of this era and of course knew that wanting to write such a thick manuscript required a lot of energy. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it was worthy of respect and admiration.

But Li Ye was a high school student preparing for the exam! At this time, instead of actively preparing for the exam, he was wasting so much energy on writing a novel?

Even if Li Ye's understanding of math, physics, and chemistry was novel, there were countless geniuses in the country, and the annual college entrance exam was a cruel battlefield. How could he be so dismissive?

【It seems I have to pull Li Ye this child back. Going astray at this time will delay his whole life...】

Teacher Ke frowned, twisted open the first page of the manuscript, and read it with a critical attitude.

Then, as expected, she fell into it. Chapter 35: How Can We Rob People of Their Things?
