Jenny and the followers behind her opened their eyes wide. In their eyes, 1,500 was already a big sum. They could not get any money if sometimes the girl's family forgot to give her money. And they could only get less than 10 if they came late when she had already spent a lot on food.
Therefore, when those followers heard Emily's words, they wanted to rush to Emily and hug her thigh to ask for shelter.
Jenny tightened her throat, "You, are you telling the truth?" She kept her mind clear in front of the great temptation of money, "Not telling the teacher?"
"Only a few of us here know about this. Other than that, no one else knows about it. Do you have any other questions?" Emily chuckled.
"What do I need to do?" Jenny asked.
"We can help too," the followers nodded in agreement.
"You have to ask yourself about this." Emily looked at her and said, "I just told you to think about it when you go back."
This question was even more difficult than math questions. Jenny and the followers frowned and left.
Emily was just about to turn around and leave when she found that the female classmate who was leaning against the wall had not left yet.
"If you help her once, those who bully her will retaliate more unscrupulously. You can't protect her every day."
She recalled Vincent's words.
"Aren't you leaving?" Emily said, "If there are other people who extort you, tell the teacher." After a pause, she added, "If the teacher doesn't care and you come to me, they won't bother you in the future."
The girl nodded and thanked her. She took a few steps towards her and looked into Emily's eyes before asking, "Have I seen you somewhere?"
Emily was wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes. The girl had felt that these beautiful eyes were very familiar.
Emily was not sure if the girl she saw outside the restaurant at that time was this one, but she did not know if the girl had seen Vincent. She denied it.
"Sorry, I have never seen you."
The girl was silent for a moment, but she quickly pulled herself together, "Thank you."
"It's fine." Emily waved at her, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." The girl waved her hand and asked her, "Can I know your name?"
Emily thought for a moment and told her, "Emily, come to Class F to find me if you need any help."
"Lucy. Thank you, Emily. I will go find you."
At that moment, Emily was not clear about the true meaning of her words.
The next day, she noticed Lucy from the ranking list of grades.
"Class A's first place. Class S and Class A's teachers have quarreled many times because of her. Because of her good results, she will enter the upper class. Class S has already prepared a seat for her. However, Class A's teacher refused to let her go and thought that her results were stuck in Class A." Tatiana saw that she had been staring at the grade ranking, so she introduced it to her in order. The first in the grade was the monitor of Class S, and Lucy was the third.
Emily couldn't imagine that the female classmate who was surrounded by Jenny for 50 was a straight-A student.
"Her studies are very good." She sighed with surprise.
Tatiana nodded, "Yeah, bookworm. She's been reading too much. I heard that she used to buy things to curry favor with her classmates. Later, because she didn't help her classmates cheat on the exam, she was isolated by the girls and became more and more reclusive."
"There is no need to get along with those classmates." Emily said, "They have different paths."
"You are right." Tatiana patted her on the shoulder. "That's what I think too. I don't like people who ask for help as soon as they take the exam. If you want to take the exam, then be serious."
Emily nodded and took out the book for the next lesson. In the end, she took out a lot of snacks and apples. Last night, on Christmas Eve, countless people sent her apples and a few blessing cards.
"Damn! You are so popular!" Tatiana said excitedly, "I'm such an adult yet I've never received a blessing card!"
Emily also received the card for the first time. The cover was Santa Claus. The moment it opened, there was Christmas music. Beautiful words were written on the card.
[Merry Christmas, by David Hack.]
'A boy in class?'
Emily did not care and continued to open the next one.
"Let me have a look." Tatiana smiled and extended her hand, "Can I have a look?"
"Sure." Emily handed her the card that she had finished reading.
As soon as she handed it over, she heard Tatiana let out a loud shout. Then, the entire class looked up at her. Tatiana pretended to be dead as she collapsed on the table, covering the card tightly. When everyone turned their heads and no longer paid attention to her, she pulled Emily and said with an excited voice that could not be suppressed, "Why would the commissary in charge of sports of Class S give you the card?"
The commissary?
Emily was a bit at a loss.
Tatiana knocked on the card, "It's the one we met at the basketball court yesterday! My God! It turns out that he hasn't fallen in love with me at first sight. He has fallen in love with you at first sight?"
Emily was lost for words.
"No way? You're wearing a mask. How could he fall in love with you at first sight?" Tatiana asked, "It can't be a prank, right? Could it be that someone else deliberately gave you this card in his name so that you could misunderstand?"
Emily couldn't help but admire Tatiana's ability to make connections.
Of course, Emily felt that what she said was very reasonable.
Thus, the two of them decided to pretend that they did not see the blessing card. Tatiana was excited for the entire morning. She had found someone to steal the homework of the commissary to contrast the handwriting. It was the same as the font on the card!
"Damn! Emily! He wrote it! It is him!" Tatiana wailed, "I also heard people say that yesterday after class, they saw him buy a blessing card. The male students beside him all asked who he wanted to give it to, but he didn't say. Who would have known that this card was given to you!"
"OK." Emily thought lightly, 'It seems that blessing cards were good. I should buy some and send everyone one.'
'Yes, apples too.'
"Are you listening to me?" Tatiana shook her shoulder.
Emily nodded, "Yes."
"Then what did I just say?"
Emily recalled, "He was the one who wrote the card."
"That was what I said three minutes ago. I just said, look ahead."
Emily raised her head. She saw Jenny and her followers cleaning the blackboard and tidying up the podium table. The floor in the class was seldom cleaned, but it was cleaner today. It seemed that they had cleaned it in the morning.
"What are they doing? What happened to them?" Tatiana asked in confusion, "Is it because of Christmas today? Or is it because they were excited because they received love last night?"
Emily was speechless.
