Zhao Youyue was called out to the front of class immediately by the class teacher, Mr Qiu. She was then reprimanded by him as a matter of course. Her punishment, was to write a remorse letter of 3,000 words in order to retrieve her phone, otherwise, the confiscation would last until the end of semester.

What? A remorse letter of 3,000 words?

Zhao Youyue immediately sunk into depression. How could that be possible for her? She might as well give up that phone and get a new one…

Looking at the miserable look of Zhao Youyue, Qiu Yingchun still did not regard her punishment as a harsh one. At least, she did not have to give a remorse speech in front of everyone. To him, he was already quite lenient with her for demanding a mere remorse letter rather than summoning her parents.

At first, Qiu Yingchun was livid at catching Zhao Youyue reading manga in class, yet on the phone. The moment she came up front, he ceased from anger right after gazing upon her fair and lovely face. This, is undeniably the privilege of a good-looking person in these days! Besides, Zhao Youyue had displayed a commendable attitude by apologizing on the spot when she was caught by the teacher. Not to mention, she had remained calm towards the confiscation matter of her phone.

Well, for the other students, at sight of their Fruit Phones that worth 7,000 RMB being taken away, they should have bursted into tears by now. There are times when the teachers would rather return the Fruit Phones to them right away.

Qiu Yingchun had assumed that this courteous girl could easily come up with her remorse letter within three days. After that, she should have learned her lesson and would no longer repeat the same mistake…

Zhao Youyue returned to her desk in low spirit. Her deskmate, Zhou Fang secretly crowed over her misfortune. Having seen this girl scrolling her phone recklessly for numerous times during the absence of teachers, she was finally caught today! To her, the bad karma had in fact come to Zhao Youyue quite lately. That being said, she still uttered some comforting words, “It’s alright Youyue, Mr. Qiu is indeed cunning. To think that he would enter the class stealthily from the backdoor…”

For no reason, some funny pictures which were once viral floated into Zhao Youyue’s mind. In one of the pictures, a student sitting in the last row and next to the window, was so engrossed in his mobile game, at last, a teacher appeared right outside the window, giving him a “Deathgaze”. In another picture, a group of students were playing “Arena of Valor”, a multiplayer game in class, in the end, the class teacher placed their phones at the front of class, making them watch how their team was crushed by the opponent. Ah, that’s nail-biting!

Zhao Youyue cracked a smile, and then responded gently, “I’m fine, thanks for your concern.”

On hearing Zhao Youyue’s answer, Zhou Fang blushed with embarrassment, as she had just gloated over her incident. As for now, she realized Zhao Youyue was exceptionally tender and charming, especially when she smiled, and what’s more, she was a good-tempered girl. If she was Zhao Youyue, she believed that she must be leaning over the table now, crying hard.

Zhao Youyue, who had lost her phone, reluctantly took out her language textbook. But, she was just reading it in silence, instead of reading it aloud, let alone reciting it. She abruptly flipped to the chapters behind, just like how she read a storybook. She could even perceive a sense of novelty in it, on account of taking the content as a new world crafted by another author.

If Qiu Yingchun, the language cum class teacher, happened to know that Zhao Youyue did not bear a single shred of remorse, for sure, he would have hopped madly into the air.

Ah, the morning reading class was finally over. The drowsy-headed students immediately leaned over the table, looking to catch up on their sleep within this ten minutes break just before the next class. Well, most of those students were guys, so the entire classroom went into a deep silence at once.

Moving softly and quietly, Zhao Youyue carried her cup to the water dispenser to fill up some water. It was an expensive porcelain cup among the “Western Horse” series of a popular luxury brand. A full set comprising of six pairing of cups and plates costed up to 15,900 RMB, whereas a single pairing of cup and plate had costed up to 2,650 RMB. That, was inconceivable for any other students.

Zhao Youyue mixed the cold water with some hot water. Right after taking a sip, she poured the water out from the window with a frown on her face, as she had tasted bleach and disinfectants in it. It occurred to her that this water dispenser was filled with tap water instead. The water was manufactured by the school factory itself, never had she thought that it would taste so badly.

Since then, she was adamant to just bring her own thermo flask in future, and would never drink the purified water in school again. She intended to make some tea or coffee earlier, but had forgone that idea, thinking it would be better to just let Uncle Liu prepare them for her. She would still get to drink after class anyways.

Zhao Youyue felt as if she was a fish out of water without her phone. She could hardly bear for a second or two. Hence, she made up her mind to directly purchase a new phone during that late noon.

She had no concern about the remorse letter. She believed, such geniuses who are incredibly talented in writing do exist in class, that they even helped others to write love letters. So, they could help out with the remorse letter, couldn’t they?

Zhao Youyue would not mistreat the person who helped her, she would offer that person 100 RMB for 1,000 words. By spending 300 RMB, there should be someone who was willing to write a remorse letter of 3,000 words for her. If this plan did not work out eventually, she would just find a template on the internet, and simply cooked up with either of it.
