The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

Adolescents are sensitive and self-respecting. They can be cheerful in a circle similar to themselves, but they can also feel inferior when making friends across classes.

Man Yue's current personality is very Buddhist, but this does not prevent her from noticing that something is wrong with her friends, let alone He Nuan.

"what happened to you?"

It was time for get out of class to end. Man Yue was lying on the table with her face facing He Nuan.

He Nuan forced a smile: "Nothing! I'm just nervous because the college entrance exam is coming up in just over two months."

Man Yue: "Do you need a therapist?"

He Nuan's family conditions are not very good. Her mother is an aunt from a wealthy family. The kindergarten quota was originally arranged by her employer's family, so she met Xie Xiao, Gu Ziyao, and Man Yue.

But He Nuan has one good thing about her: she's open and generous. When her friend gets rich, her first thought isn't jealousy, but a desire to cling to her sister's influence. So Man Yue can say whatever she wants without worrying about hurting her pride.

But something was wrong with her today.

"No need, I can learn by myself." He Nuan looked at the test paper, staring at the question for more than ten minutes without writing anything.

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, be sure to tell me." Man Yue said and turned her head in the other direction.

Hearing this, He Nuan paused, turned around to look at her, and opened her mouth to speak when the class monitor walked in from outside, stood beside the podium, and announced something.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Our school will be holding a sports meet next week, and registration for the events is now open."

"50 meters, 100 meters, shot put, long jump, kangaroo jump, archery... No one signed up for the 500 meters for girls. Who's going?"

"Let Jiang Manyue go! She was pretty good at fighting before, and you can tell she has good physical strength." A boy suggested.

Hearing this, the squad leader really walked over here. Seeing Man Yue lying down and sleeping, he reached out and carefully poked her with his finger: "That... Man Yue."

"Hmm?" Man Yue said irritably. She had been restless all day at school.

The monitor was frightened by her and trembled. He almost couldn't hold back his tears again: "Um...Are you going to run the 500 meters in the sports meeting?"

"No report." After saying that, he lay down and fell asleep again.

The squad leader mustered up his courage and said, "There's a bonus."

"Bonus?" He Nuan raised her head. "How much?"

Monitor: "Each event is different. Fifty meters is the minimum, five hundred. Five hundred meters is the maximum, five thousand. But you have to be in the top three to get it. Do you want to sign up?"

He Nuan: "The most important thing about reporting is participation."

"Then which one do you want to sign up for?" The squad leader showed her the project list.

He Nuan: "They're all quite interesting. They'll bring honor to the class. Let's sign up for them all!"

"Ah?" The squad leader was shocked. "There are more than a dozen projects in total. Aren't you tired of signing up for them all?"

He Nuan shook her head: "After all, this is the last sports meet of high school, so we should cherish every moment."

Upon hearing this, the class monitor nodded in agreement. At this moment, the boy in the back row who had just suggested that Man Yue participate came over and joked:

"Are you short of money? Aren't you good friends with Jiang Manyue and Xie Xiao? If you need money, just ask them for it!"

After he finished speaking, Man Yue opened her eyes and sat up straight. Xie Xiao, who was doing a test paper in the front seat, also turned around.

Xie Xiao asked: "He Nuan, are you short of money?"

He Nuan blushed, looked at him, then looked at Man Yue's questioning eyes, and put down the pen: "No."

The boy Sun Jialei continued to tease: "Speaking of which, you and Jiang Manyue are so rich, and He Nuan works as your henchman, don't you even pay her a salary? Or..."

Halfway through his words, Man Yue threw a book over and hit the man right in the chest.

The class fell into an eerie silence. Everyone looked over here. Sun Jialei shut up because he had been hit so hard.

Man Yue tilted her head slightly and said coldly, "Pick it up."

After saying that, Sun Jialei bent down to pick up the book, lowered his eyes and handed it back to her, then returned to his seat in a sullen manner.

Xie Xiao: "He Nuan is our friend, not a follower. If anyone says anything nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, no one would dare to make such a joke again. He Nuan said nothing, lowered his head, picked up the water cup and left the classroom.

Man Yue touched Xie Xiao's arm: "Why is she so strange? What happened during this period of time?"

Xie Xiao was confused: "I don't know either! She's been normal recently, nothing seems wrong."

Man Yue: "Are you still going together?"

Xie Xiao: "No, she has been walking separately from me during this period, and she hasn't been riding in my car."

As he was speaking, the bell for class rang. Within two minutes, He Nuan came back with a cup.

Man Yue glanced at her empty water cup and passed her a small note: "If you need money, be sure to tell me."

After reading it, He Nuan crumpled up the note and threw it into the garbage bag between them.

In the afternoon physical education class, the boys practiced basketball and the girls did gymnastics. When they came out of the gymnastics room to change shoes after class, Man Yue's shoes were lost.

A girl passing by exclaimed: "No way! There are still people stealing shoes these days. What kind of fetish is this?"

He Nuan came over and said, "Man Yue, why don't you just wear these gym shoes first and check the surveillance footage when you return to school tomorrow! After all, those shoes of yours are not cheap."

Man Yue looked at her and nodded: "Okay, change quickly and leave after you're done."

"Yeah." He Nuan smiled widely, changed his shoes, and walked away holding Man Yue's arm.

When they arrived at the school gate, Xie Xiao was already waiting for them.

"He Nuan, get in the car." Xie Xiao opened the car door.

He Nuan quickly refused: "No, I need to take a taxi to my mother's workplace. It's not on my way."

Man Yue held her back: "Then I'll take you there. I have plenty of time."

He Nuan broke away from her: "No need, you guys go first, I can just take a taxi."

Then he quickly stopped a car on the side of the road.

Man Yue looked at Xie Xiao and raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"

Xie Xiao shook his head and thought for a moment, "Then once when I was sending her home, her mother saw me. Her mother told me not to send her home again. Maybe she wanted He Nuan to keep her distance from the opposite sex!"

"If she really encountered difficulties, with He Nuan's personality, she would definitely not hold it back and tell us."

This also makes sense. He Nuan has never been a stubborn person, nor a fragile person. She will not ask for help if she can solve the problem, but she will definitely speak to them generously if she cannot solve it.

Thinking of this, Man Yue felt relieved: "Let's ask tomorrow!"

While she got into the car with peace of mind, she still overlooked the fact that some things are difficult to say out loud.
