Chapter 887: Chapter 888 Toxic Fatherly Love 20

The mock exam was exceptionally cruel; what Zhang Yu hadn’t expected was that it would all be over in one day.

By the time she returned home in the evening, Zhang Yu was still feeling dizzy.

Oh my god, if it weren’t for her running and exercising daily after arriving, and staying in the hospital which was somewhat of a workout, she really wouldn’t know if she could have held on.

Looking at the people around, well, they were more or less in the same state.

"I’m going back, I need to have a good rest today." Wang Lei said listlessly while sitting in the back seat.

"I really admire those people who still have the energy to check their answers."

"I’m not checking mine anyway."

"Anyway, the results will be out the day after tomorrow." Wang Lei took a deep breath, "Little Yu, how do you think you did this time?"

Although Zhang Yu said she worked hard on practice questions at home and even in the hospital, she was still worried, but she couldn’t exactly praise herself for not doing badly.

"I think it was okay." For Zhang Yu, the exam itself wasn’t difficult; the challenging part was scoring.

She herself needed to improve her score, and also had to estimate other people’s scores, of course just an approximate, she hoped to move up a few ranks if possible.

"But as to how exactly, we have to wait for the results, otherwise I feel my results are good, and then the teacher marks it."

Zhang Yu, worried that Wang Lei would ask more questions, quickly changed the topic.

Looking at Zhang Yu ahead of her, Wang Lei was unsure whether to mention something, but after thinking it through, she decided it was better to let her know.

"Today I heard Liu Hui say he took a sick leave." Wang Lei said cautiously.

Liu Hui took a sick leave? Zhang Yu was stunned, the original owner didn’t know about this at all, this guy participated in the monthly exam before, and seemed to have improved.

How come he didn’t participate in this month’s exam? Could it be because of her involvement resulting in some butterfly effect?

"It couldn’t be because I didn’t give him face yesterday, and then he got sick because of being mad, right?" Zhang Yu said in surprise.

"No, why would he be sick for that reason." Zhang Yu quickly denied, "Forget it, if his health is not good, then he should just rest well at home."

"Grades are important, but health is more important." No matter what, Liu Hui being unwell was good news, especially very good news.

Wang Lei looked at Zhang Yu with no displeasure, "Will you go see him?"

See him? "What for, he’s just an ordinary classmate, and not even from the same class, what pretext would I have?"

"I was already distancing myself, I don’t want any misunderstandings, and if I go to see him, wouldn’t it all be for nothing?"

"Boys have all kinds of resilience." Zhang Yu parked the car at the entrance of Wang Lei’s neighborhood, "Rest well, don’t worry too much about irrelevant people."

After finishing, she drove away, and Wang Lei watched Zhang Yu’s retreating figure, "It seems she really wants to forget someone."

"But that’s good, people like Liu Hui are not good people." Wang Lei turned and headed home, exams in one day really were extraordinarily exhausting.

Not only was her mind a blur, but her stomach was constantly protesting too.

Zhang Yu carried her school bag back home, "Grandma, I’m home."

Li Cuifen had asked Aunt Huang to buy many of Zhang Yu’s favorite dishes today, "You’re back, I had Xiao Huang make a lot of your favorite dishes."

"Wow." Zhang Yu placed her school bag on the chair, looked at today’s dishes, felt so happy, rushed into the kitchen to wash her hands, and then quickly began to eat while casually talking about school.

"In past mock exams, not everyone took it so seriously, but this time..." Zhang Yu could really feel everyone was very serious.

"I overheard their chat yesterday, it seemed like they hadn’t done much revision, just went out to have fun."

"I guess, nobody really tried hard over the summer break." It makes sense, after all, it’s already senior year, everyone wants to make an effort no matter what.

"I need to start putting in effort too." Initially, she planned to rest at home after the day of the exam, but thinking about how everyone around her was striving, she couldn’t help but feel the need to do the same.

After washing the dishes, Zhang Yu continued revising back at home, where Li Cuifen brought some freshly cut fruit into the room, "Today’s watermelon is pretty good."

"The cantaloupe is tasty too."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Eating the fruit and with the air conditioning on, Zhang Yu studied intensely, not feeling the slightest bit weary.

Liu Hui was in a really bad mood as he felt off since yesterday and worried about performing poorly in the exams.

Now he couldn’t even worry about that, he was too sick to get up this morning and reluctantly had to skip today’s exam.

"Mom, Mom." His throat felt dry, and when he reached for his water cup, he found it empty, leaving him no choice but to call out for someone.

No matter how much he called, no one responded, and he had no choice but to struggle out of bed and leave his room.

The house was empty, Mother Liu wasn’t home, Liu Hui thought she must have gone out to have fun. He had told her countless times not to go out and play mahjong especially with her poor health, but she enjoys it too much.

He thought that she should be at home taking care of him since he was sick, but reality proved him wrong.

He slowly made his way to the kitchen and found the thermos was empty, no water had been boiled, and the cabinets were empty with nothing to eat.

Opening the refrigerator, it was practically empty too, it wouldn’t be right to say completely empty as there were other stuff, just nothing he could eat.

Liu Hui really felt like cursing someone, but then he thought it over — it takes effort to curse and the person should be present.

Liu Hui managed to cook himself a bowl of noodles and boiled some water. After eating something, he felt a bit revitalized.

He forced himself to drink water and go to the bathroom, knowing he couldn’t afford further delays.

It wasn’t until evening that he started feeling a bit better. As for Mother Liu, she only asked briefly about his health when she got home at night.

She didn’t ask if he needed to go to the hospital or anything, just "Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Depends, I don’t have the strength." Liu Hui, noticing that Mother Liu was in a good mood, gathered his courage, "Mom, do you think you can give me some money? I want to buy some medicine."

The moment Mother Liu heard this, she frowned, "Why are you always asking for money, don’t you know money doesn’t grow on trees?"

"Can’t you have a little understanding?"

Previously, Liu Hui would have empathized with the hardships Mother Liu faced, sparing every penny, but now he felt like a complete joke.

"How am I supposed to empathize with you?"

"I had a high fever today, you only fed me breakfast, gave me some fever medicine, and then you left."

"There was no lunch, not even boiled water." Liu Hui directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I’ll talk to my dad and have him give me some money." Liu Hui then turned and headed back to his room.

Liu Hui’s dissatisfaction with Mother Liu had reached its peak, "You always tell me, ’I’ll manage the money and give it to you when you need it.’"

"Have you given me any money?" Liu Hui yelled at Mother Liu.

"If you keep treating me like this, aren’t you worried that I’ll treat you the same way in the future?" After saying all this, she should at least give him some money.
