Chapter 890: Chapter 891 Toxic Fatherly Love 23

Zhang Yu recites every day till her brain feels like it’s going to explode.

Ahhh, why did I choose liberal arts? Zhang Yu lamented again. With liberal arts, it’s all about memorization. No matter how many times you take the college entrance exam, once it’s over, you’ll forget it all.

Science subjects are so much better. As long as you practice enough problems, some things will be etched into your bones.

No matter how bad she feels, she still has to keep reciting.

Wang Lei is also in a bad mood, endlessly solving problems and reciting. Anyone would feel terrible in her shoes.

But today, she’s actually in a pretty good mood, just turning her head to see Zhang Yu’s troubled face, one could guess why.

Alright, it’s true that seeing others unhappy can make oneself feel happier.

Zhang Yu, catching a glimpse of someone’s happy expression from the corner of her eye, felt even more unhappy, "Keep it down, or I’m really worried your jaw might fall off."

"And the monthly test is coming up, have you got a handle on your math problems yet?"

Hmph, we’re all in the same boat, no need to be like this. "Right, have you prepared all your English vocab?"

Ha ha ha, Zhang Yu might be lacking in recitation, and of course, her math and English weren’t that great either, but at least she was better than Wang Lei.

"If I catch up in these two subjects, what will you do then?" Zhang Yu asked, genuinely worried.

Wang Lei, who was in a good mood, felt irritated by Zhang Yu’s words, and suddenly didn’t feel so great anymore.

Indeed, she still has the daunting task of tackling English and math, "Ah, why must there be a college entrance exam."

"You could also give up." Zhang Yu knew Wang Lei would never give up, "Just hang in there, the entrance exam is next June."

"You should be thankful that our exam is in June." Lucky it’s not in July; otherwise, we would have to suffer another month.

"But that’s an extra month to study." Wang Lei was torn.

"How does an extra month matter, will you improve that much?"

"July is so hot, taking the exams in that heat is really tough."

"Plus, as you improve, others do too."

"We’re not only comparing ourselves, not just with our grade, but with all the college entrance examinees nationwide."

"How do you know others’ progress?"

"Let’s just forget it, and go for an early exam."

"We can relax sooner." Zhang Yu bowed her head and resumed studying.

Wang Lei glanced at Zhang Yu, "You really know how to adjust."

"What else can I do? It’s a decided matter, and it won’t change because we object."

"Better to think about the bright side. When we finish the entrance exam at the start of June, school doesn’t start until September. We can have three months of wild fun."

"Right." Indeed, convinced by Zhang Yu’s analysis, everyone thought it made sense.

"Okay, back to studying, for the university we dream of." Zhang Yu cheered herself on and then lowered her head to her book.

Standing at the doorway, Liu Hui listened to Zhang Yu’s voice, feeling quite upset. He had been sick for so many days, and Zhang Yu not only failed to visit, but she hadn’t even called.

He had thought that once he returned to school, Zhang Yu would know he was back in class and would come to see him.

But he waited and waited, and she didn’t show up. Since she didn’t come to see him, he decided to come to her directly.

Zhang Yu could recite from memory, chat with Wang Lei, and yet she never thought of him; moreover, when he saw her, she seemed to be in a great mood without a hint of unhappiness.

How could this be? Liu Hui was very upset. Didn’t she like him? Since he was sick, shouldn’t she be all worried and acting mature?

But the reality was far from it. Liu Hui was actually getting panicked, especially after hearing about Zhang Yu’s academic improvement. How could he just sit still?

If Zhang Yu keeps improving her grades, would she ever think of him again? The intimacy that once grew between them might gradually become estranged and eventually, they might completely lose contact.

The thought of Zhang Yu ignoring him made Liu Hui extremely anxious. What would he do about buying things if she continued to ignore him?

Ever since the incident at the hospital, even though his parents didn’t divorce, Liu Hui could feel that Mother Liu’s attitude toward him had gotten worse.

Now that Liu Hui needed money, Mother Liu would directly tell him to ask Father Liu. When it came to household chores, Mother Liu would do her own and let him take care of his own things.

As for cooking him meals, Mother Liu now completely let it go, claiming her poor health made her unable to do household chores.

Every day, Liu Hui was busy studying and doing housework. Any protest about him being a senior high student was simply ignored by Mother Liu.

He regretted it. If he had known Father Liu would be so irresponsible, he would have never instigated anything.

The helpless Liu Hui knew that barring submission, there were no other options left.

Someone saw Liu Hui, then glanced at Zhang Yu, noticing she was concentrating on reciting, said nothing.

Now everyone could confirm that between Zhang Yu and Liu Hui, they really were just ordinary classmates. In contrast, it was Liu Hui who was trying to ingratiate himself with Zhang Yu.

Liu Hui noticed that classmate Zhang Yu had seen him and thought she would let Zhang Yu know. Unexpectedly, it was as if she hadn’t seen him at all, and he was truly stunned.

With no one to help, Liu Hui had no choice but to call out reluctantly, "Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu, who was finding the recitation quite strenuous, lifted her head upon hearing her name and was surprised to find Liu Hui.

Confused, she asked Wang Lei, "Liu Hui is back to attending classes?"

Wang Lei looked up blankly; ever since learning that Zhang Yu genuinely had no lingering feelings for Liu Hui, she stopped inquiring about that person’s affairs.

"Probably. He’s been on leave for so long, he has to come back now, with the monthly exams approaching."

Their conversation wasn’t whispered, and the whole class heard it, including Liu Hui standing at the classroom door, of course.

Liu Hui was very displeased, glancing at Wang Lei, who was sitting next to Zhang Yu, he knew it was this woman who was always bouncing around her.

Once he wins over Zhang Yu, he is determined to get Wang Lei away from her, for sure.

"Do you need something?" Zhang Yu approached the doorway without stepping out.

"Well, I asked someone and found out you did well on the diagnostic test..." Liu Hui was about to continue.

Zhang Yu wasn’t interested in hearing more nonsense, "That’s all in the past, the diagnostic test is coming up soon."

"Better to keep studying."

"Fine." Zhang Yu turned around and walked away, not wanting to listen to his rambling.

Liu Hui was dumbfounded. He hadn’t finished speaking, yet she just turned and left, "Zhang Yu, I got sick."

"What does your sickness have to do with me?" Zhang Yu was genuinely puzzled, "You wouldn’t be suggesting it’s my fault and then expect me to pay for your medication, would you?"

Zhang Yu looked at him with contempt, a look and words that infuriated him enough to nearly choke on his own rage.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, Liu Hui kept telling himself. Once he gets Zhang Yu, he’ll see how he’ll torment this girl.

"I just wanted to mention, I’m genuinely concerned about you, worried whether you can keep up with the teacher’s pace in class." Zhang Yu looked sincerely worried.
