Liu Hua stepped over to Xia Wan and helped her out, saying, “Xia Wan is very intelligent. She just didn’t like studying before. Now she wants to put in the effort to learn. I’ll give her extra lessons. Other classmates, you don’t need to worry.”

As Liu Hua began speaking, the others fell silent immediately.

The reason? Liu Hua’s grades were truly excellent.

She had never fallen out of the top three in the class and almost always ranked first during major exams. She was a student highly favored by the class teacher.

However, Liu Hua had an introverted personality, spending most of her time quietly reading, which is why she didn’t hold any class committee positions.

Currently, their class monitor was Zhou Chen, and Song Zhi served as the art committee representative.

With Liu Hua speaking up, no one dared to trouble Xia Wan anymore. The reason was simple: they couldn’t compete with Liu Hua’s academic performance.

Xia Wan smiled at Liu Hua and said, “Thank you for speaking up on my behalf.”

Liu Hua smiled shyly and then sat next to Xia Wan. She whispered, “Wanwan, I’ve been going up the mountain these days, hoping to find Lingzhi again. But I haven’t seen any so far. However, I did find lots of mushrooms, and they taste really good. And the fried mushrooms you taught me, they’re delicious. I brought a big box. Let’s eat them together during lunch.”

“These past few days, my dad went fishing in the river and caught several fat and delicious fish. He made a braised fish dish, and I definitely can’t finish it alone. Let’s share it.”

Xia Wan consoled her, “Lingzhi and ginseng are rare medicinal materials. Encountering them once is already fortunate. Don’t rely solely on luck for your livelihood. The college entrance exams are approaching. You should focus your energy on studying. What you achieve through your own hard work is the most reliable.”

Previously hopeful, Liu Hua absorbed Xia Wan’s words and started to reflect on herself.

Ever since she traded Lingzhi for money the last time, she had tasted the quick satisfaction of making money. She always wondered if she could find more valuable medicinal materials, so her father wouldn’t have to work so hard. Yet, she forgot that such things were largely a matter of luck and shouldn’t be forced.

Liu Hua’s gaze became determined. “I understand, Wanwan. I will focus on studying. ”

After some more conversation, as the time approached for the next class, Liu Hua returned to her seat.

The first class was the homeroom teacher’s class. Their homeroom teacher was a female teacher who taught the Chinese language, named Jiang Rong.

Typically, the first class of the day was reserved for the homeroom teacher to give important announcements to the students.

Jiang Rong first took attendance, and once she confirmed all the students were present, she began speaking, “You are now in your senior year. For the coming year, do not let other distractions divert your attention. Focus solely on your studies.”

“Though you might not fully appreciate my words, I still hope you give your all to avoid future regrets.”

As Jiang Rong prepared to start today’s lesson, Song Zhi unexpectedly raised her hand. “Teacher, I find your words extremely reasonable. However, some students in our class haven’t been studying diligently during the break. Instead, they’ve been engaged in business activities. I believe this has skewed our priorities.”

“If everyone follows the example of this particular student, the overall atmosphere of our class will undoubtedly be affected.”

Jiang Rong’s brows furrowed as she asked, “Which student are you referring

Song Zhi pointed at Xia Wan and said, “Teacher, it’s her. Xia Wan already had poor academic performance, and during the break, she started a clothing business. While she did make money, I think she’s leading us in the wrong direction.”

“If everyone starts thinking that selling clothes is a more lucrative option than studying, our class’s academic performance will inevitably plummet.”

As a homeroom teacher, the class’s academic performance was naturally an essential criterion for evaluation. So, upon hearing Song Zhi’s words, Jiang Rong took this matter seriously.

She looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Xia Wan, is what Song Zhi said true?”

Xia Wan stood up, her tone composed yet confident, “Teacher, it is indeed true.

I did start a clothing business during the break.” Song Zhi’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction..
