"We can't concentrate on learning." Chen Xiaofen found a rather lame excuse for the three people, but she felt that this reason was sufficient. Who made those teachers only know how to scold students?

"Life belongs to ourselves, not to be lived for others." Xu Yingying said in a resounding voice, so loud that everyone around her looked over, thinking a fight was about to break out.

Chen Xiaofen's retort seemed to be useless. The three of them had become so powerful that it wasn't because they hadn't had a teacher who cared for them. It was just that what they wanted wasn't just attention from the teacher, but someone who truly understood them and could communicate with them. Unfortunately, such a person never appeared, which was why they became more and more rebellious.

Last night, Xu Yingying had already figured out that the three came from families that favored boys over girls, single-parent families, and left-behind families where parents worked away from home. These family environments can easily lead to a lack of family care in children, which can trigger teenage rebellion.

After all, the help from school is limited. When they return home, the cold atmosphere at home will only make them want to escape more.

But Xu Yingying's words made them realize that they had been walking into a dead end, always thinking that one day this dead end would come alive. They never thought about turning around and walking out. They could also take another path.

Yao Chenxi had been keeping her head down, so they didn't notice. Only when they heard her sobbing did they realize she was in tears. Ma Jiajia, who was standing by, was completely at a loss when she saw her like that.

"Chenxi, what's wrong with you? Are you upset by what Xu Yingying said? I'll go beat her up for you." Ma Jiajia was so excited that she forgot Xu Yingying was sitting opposite her.

Yao Chenxi grabbed Ma Jiajia immediately after hearing her words about hitting someone, as if she was worried that she would hit Xu Yingying in a fit of rage. She cried, "I'm fine. I'm not unhappy."

"You're crying. You didn't cry when the teacher talked to you about it before." Ma Jiajia still didn't quite believe it.

"I'm so happy. It turns out we can still think this way." Although Yao Chenxi was crying, she had a smile on her face when she looked closely.

Chen Xiaofen then spoke up, "Perhaps we were just being stubborn." Ma Jiajia was even more bewildered by Chen Xiaofen's sudden remark. She was a quick-tempered person, sometimes her mouth moved faster than her brain, but she was the slowest to think about these complicated things.

"It's good that you can figure it out." After hearing what they said, Xu Yingying knew that they had listened. As for Ma Jiajia, Xu Yingying knew that Chen Xiaofen and Yao Chenxi would not ignore her.

"I still don't understand." Ma Jiajia felt like she was excluded by the three of them.

"Sister Jiajia, please go back and think carefully about what I just said. If you don't understand, ask Sister Xiaofen and Sister Xi. I'll go back and rest first." After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she prepared to get up and clean up the dishes.

"Why don't you sit for a while?" Ma Jiajia wanted to keep Xu Yingying for a while longer.

"No, there are still some things I didn't understand in class this morning, so I plan to study them when I get back to the classroom." Xu Yingying didn't want to just want to catch up on her studies as quickly as possible, but let them feel the learning atmosphere.

Seeing Xu Yingying and the other two walking towards the teaching building, Chen Xiaofen suddenly said, "We are older than Yingying, yet she still needs to remind us. Yingying is right. We should also go back to the classroom and study hard."

"Sister Xiaofen, you..." Ma Jiajia didn't expect that Chen Xiaofen would agree so much with Xu Yingying's words and asked the three of them to go back to the classroom to read.

"Jia Jia, Sister Xiao Fen and I all mean the same thing. We have already wasted a lot of time. Although I don't know if it is too late to start now, Yingying's words make me feel that we can't waste our own lives anymore." This was the first time that Yao Chenxi was so clear about her direction.

Ma Jiajia thought Yao Chenxi was just as undecided as she was. Unexpectedly, she also thought Xu Yingying's words made sense.

She just acted like she always did when she was called to the teacher's office for a chat. Her first thought was to confront the person who was lecturing them.

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, she didn't really take it to heart, but was thinking about how to refute Xu Yingying's words.

But even as she was thinking of these rebuttals, Xu Yingying's approach was different from the previous teachers'. She didn't just brainwash them endlessly. Instead, she gave them time to think. She didn't say much, and she couldn't find a breakthrough. She could only wait for Chen Xiaofen and Yao Chenxi to rebut. But they all sided with Xu Yingying. Ma Jiajia felt a little betrayed. Just as she was still fighting, her companions suddenly abandoned her. She was panicked and angry.

"Why?" Ma Jiajia suddenly lowered her head and said in a low voice.

At this time, the other two were thinking about how they should start their new study life and did not notice Ma Jiajia's emotions.

After a while, no one responded to Ma Jiajia's question. Ma Jiajia was already obsessed with the idea of being betrayed. She felt that all of this was caused by Xu Yingying. She wanted to find Xu Yingying and ask for clarification. She was clearly the closest to her among the three people, so why did Xu Yingying betray her with everyone else?

Ma Jiajia stood up suddenly and ran towards the teaching building without looking back. She was going to find Xu Yingying.

The two people left behind realized that Ma Jiajia had run off, probably heading back to the classroom. They assumed she'd understood what Xu Yingying had said, so they started to tidy up the dishes, including whatever Ma Jiajia hadn't put away.

Only then did Yao Chenxi realize that Ma Jiajia hadn't even taken her bag. Luckily, they were still there, otherwise it would have been difficult to find it if she had left it behind.

When they were about to return to their classroom, Xu Yingying had already seen Ma Jiajia, who was out of breath.

Fortunately, it was noon, and many students had already gone home. There were not many people in each classroom. Besides Xu Yingying, there were only two or three other students in her class, some resting, some doing their own things.

Xu Yingying just returned to the classroom and was about to go to the water dispenser to get some water. As soon as she walked out of the classroom, she saw Ma Jiajia.

"Hey? Sister Jiajia, why are you here? Didn't we just separate? Do you have something to talk to me about? Why aren't Sister Xiaofen and Sister Xi here?" Xu Yingying said as she walked towards the water dispenser with a cup of water.

"Why are you doing this?" Ma Jiajia said after taking a breath.

"What?" Xu Yingying didn't understand Ma Jiajia's question at first.

"I say, why do you want to divide the three of us?" Ma Jiajia asked sternly.
