From ten yuan to three yuan, although Ding Jiayi still felt the pinch, there was a seven yuan savings. Ding Jiayi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to prepare the meal.
Looking at Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan tugged the corners of her mouth with sarcasm.
If she had taken the 10 yuan earlier, probably the good news of Qiao Zijin’s partic.i.p.ation in the essay writing compet.i.tion could not save her mother’s loss of appet.i.te.
The thought that spending some money on herself would make her mother lose her appet.i.te and suffer insomnia, she had nothing to say.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks had pa.s.sed.
On the early morning of Sat.u.r.day, Zhao Yu was prepared to go to school to wait for the teacher, when the school’s rented car came, she picked a seat and sat.
“Hey, why are there only four of us today, didn’t our school select five students?” Everyone was quite early, before long, Zhao Yu saw the three students who attended training with her.
“Not sure.” The other cla.s.smate was also puzzled.
“Zhao Yu, you’re from Cla.s.s One?” The cla.s.smate seated behind Zhao Yu had a sneer on her face. “Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?”
“What do you mean by this?” She did not provoke her?
“Qiao Nan’s essay is so good, she scored nearly full marks in the two exams. Who do you think this fifth person will be? Qiao Nan’s partic.i.p.ation was already decided by the school long ago. As Qiao Nan’s case was an exception, some people are not happy, but regardless, whoever that has seen Qiao Nan’s essay would be convinced of her ability.”
She was more sensitive than Zhao Yu. Clearly there had been five but only four came for the training. She had already asked the teacher about it.
In the end, that was what the teacher told her. She was not convinced and happy initially. But after the Chinese Teacher showed her Qiao Nan’s essay, she had nothing to say.
Although she accepted this, she did not feel too good either.
When she heard Zhao Yu saying this now, the cla.s.smate was even more unhappy.
“What, Qiao Nan’s partic.i.p.ation had long been decided by the school?” Zhao Yu gave a stare. No wonder Qiao Nan was really one out of the five. “Then why didn’t she join the training?”
“Teacher Lee.” At this time, Qiao Nan’s voice could be heard from outside the car. “I hope I’m not late?”
“No, the timing is just right, hurry and get on the bus.” Teacher Lee smilingly let Qiao Nan board the bus. “Do you have motion sickness, if you do, it’s best to take the seat in front.”
These were students who would be competing, they had to be in their best form.
“Teacher Lee, I do not have motion sickness, I can sit anywhere.”
After boarding the car, Qiao Nan sat down once she saw an empty seat. It did not matter where the seat was.
When Zhao Yu saw Qiao Nan pa.s.sing by in front of her, her face was white. What about the slapping of own face, lies and bragging? Why did Qiao Nan really come, it’s so unfair!
The four of them were selected from the school, and went through half a month of training. On what grounds was Qiao Nan qualified to compete when she did not even attend anything, was that fair to other students?
She had these thoughts in her mind. But before the teacher, Zhao Yu ultimately did not dare to raise her doubts, she could only endure this and sit quietly in her seat.
When it it was about one and a half hours into the journey, Qiao Nan already finished her nap.
