He Lele said dejectedly, "My brain can't hold so much!"
"Let some out, then stuff more in!" Wang Muman offered a solution.
Noon arrived quickly. After lunch, they returned to the classroom and went along. Wang Muman secretly stuffed books into her clothes. When the lunch break began, Wang Muman sat on a nearby stool reading. The three people busy with their tasks continued.
Zhou Mingyu watched Wang Muman reading and asked He Lele, "What is Manman jie reading! Is it the kind of thing all girls like?"
"Manman jie isn't reading what little girls read. It's 'Ten Deadly Sins'." He Lele was drawing a title, her face covered in chalk dust.
Zhou Mingyu was a little surprised. He hadn't expected such a book, thinking that the world of top students only contained textbooks.
"It's a book that really reveals human nature!" Yan Cheng said, as if he had also read it, expressing it in a tactful way. He was looking at some pictures given by Shi Kai.
"How are you guys preparing for the midterm exams? I'm not asking Manman because she always listens attentively in class and does her homework diligently, with hardly any mistakes." He Lele sighed.
"I have a say in this. Those two are from the same world, you don't need to ask them. I'm also worried. Chinese, English, History, and Politics are just killing me!" Zhou Mingyu, uncharacteristically, didn't retort. The two looked at the other two, and they all sighed.
Wang Muman chimed in, "I'm not very good at geography either!" She looked at He Lele, who was standing on a chair.
"Don't talk, we are not the same kind of people after all. I have to leave it to fate." He Lele's hands didn't stop, and her words were very dispirited.
Wang Muman remembered what she had said not long ago about still having many things she didn't know. After thinking for a moment, she said, "My suggestion is that you can appropriately give up three subjects. Anyway, we'll have a science and arts division in the second year, so you should find what you're good at first. This exam is also a fact, serving as a basis for the division." Wang Muman offered her advice. xxs壹贰
"Hey, that's a good idea! How did I not think of that!" Zhou Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately started drawing with renewed vigor.
Yan Cheng looked at these two, then at Wang Muman, who was reading. She was extremely focused, seemingly engrossed in the story, her expression a mix of confusion and surprise. He checked the time; there were fifteen minutes left, and the blackboard newspaper was already half done. It seemed they would finish it today.
Back in the classroom, the students were still groggy, with several of them stretching. Math practice began again. Teacher Xu also came to patrol the classroom, offering guidance to students who were having difficulties. He Lele was guided by him many times. When the class ended, He Lele had a bitter expression, stumped by her math homework.
Wang Muman looked at the problems she was being guided on and nodded. They were indeed a few basic questions. He Lele buried her head. Wang Muman took out chocolate from her desk drawer and gave it to her, "Sweeten your mouth, you'll learn it eventually. I'm here!"
He Lele unwrapped the chocolate and put it in her mouth. She stood up and looked at Wang Muman, chewing the chocolate. She seemed genuinely sweetened and smiled again.
Seeing He Lele smile, Wang Muman knew she was feeling much better. She told her to prepare for the next lesson, reminding her that she liked the history teacher.
"It's truly a pleasure to have the handsome uncle teach, my mood instantly became wonderful. You know, these past few weeks of going to his office weren't in vain; it instantly healed my heart, which was wounded by mathematics!" He Lele praised Wang Muman after the history class. Seeing He Lele back to normal, Wang Muman also felt the history teacher was quite good.
