Start as a top student after transmigrating.

"Yesterday when we were eating in the cafeteria, those guys from other classes envied how handsome we were, so they went and got new hairstyles that night." Liu Yumo laughed and shook his head, being narcissistic.

"With this gust of wind blowing through the hair, business at the shop is booming. If it were summer, it would probably be even more booming," Jiang Lina said happily.

After finishing her evening self-study session last night, she and her mother were busy until almost midnight, and they still managed to book several more appointments. They'll be busy again today, and they expect to make a decent profit from this.

"That's because Auntie is good at it."

Chen Dong didn't take credit for it, nor did he promote anything. It was just that Liu Yumo was showing off, and when someone asked about his hairstyle, he casually mentioned it.

"One thing at a time, I have to eat this meal, Brother Dong, please give me face." Jiang Lina was rather carefree, without the coyness of a young girl.

"How much budget do you have?" Chen Dong asked with a smile. He liked Jiang Lina's personality, but Ye Wanwan probably couldn't do it. He just hoped that silly girl could be more confident.

"Ahem, I don't have much pocket money, so I can only treat you to meals at the cafeteria." Jiang Lina was a little embarrassed.

"Eating in the cafeteria? I thought I could get a free meal." Liu Yumo dragged out his words, shaking his head as if he were bored.

"The cafeteria has lots of green vegetables, I thought Brother Mo would like them," Jiang Lina teased with a wink and a smile.

"Jiang Lina, you can't get over this joke, can you?" Liu Yumo was instantly defeated.

Chen Dong glanced at Liu Yumo, then at Jiang Lina, a smile spreading across his face, his expression growing increasingly kind.

"I have something to do at noon, how about tonight?" Chen Dong thought for a moment and agreed to Jiang Lina's suggestion. Firstly, she was a classmate, and secondly, it was rare for a classmate to take the initiative to contact them.

What he wanted was not for his classmates to be afraid of him, but for normal classmate relationships, with give and take.

"No problem," Jiang Lina readily replied.

"I'm bringing someone along, they'll pay for it themselves, is that alright?" Chen Dong looked at the person in front of him.

"Brother Dong is bringing his family."

Jiang Lina followed his gaze, gave a teasing smile, and then said generously, "It's all on me. I'll pay for tonight's expenses."

Ye Wanwan heard these words, and the word "family member" made her blush slightly. Fortunately, she was sitting in the first row and had her head down so no one could see her.

Many of the students around also looked back. Normally, few would dare to provoke Chen Dong and Liu Yumo, especially girls like Jiang Lina.

But now Jiang Lina dares to joke with Chen Dong and Liu Yumo like this, and Chen Dong and the others don't seem to have a bad temper. On the contrary, they are very easygoing.

The bell rang soon after, and class began.

Jiang Lina returned to her seat. Chen Dong originally had something to do, but since he was going to class soon, he thought for a moment, then took out four hundred yuan and handed it to Liu Yumo.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yumo was a little confused.

He just gave Chen Dong 300, Chen Dong returned 200, and now he's giving him 400. He made 300 in just one class period. When did money become so easy to earn?

"It's not for you."

Chen Dong casually tossed the list of debtors to Liu Yumo, "I originally planned to pay off my debts after class, but now I need to start doing practice tests. Could you pay them off for me later, preferably proportionally?"

He didn't take it all out.

Although adding Liu Yumo's debt to him would basically cover up the debt to the lord of the plain, he still needed to eat after school in the afternoon, and Ye Wanwan also needed money.

He planned to settle the tutoring fee on time for the first week.

So some were reserved.

I paid back some yesterday, and I'll pay back a little more today. That should be enough to put those 'creditors' at ease. I'll pay back the rest when the novel's royalties come in.

"Does Brother Dong have any money left? I'll give you a hundred."

"Share it? Forget about sharing it. We'll put it on our meal cards and eat together. I still have 300 left. I'll give Ye Wanwan 200 this weekend, and we'll keep 100 for ourselves."

……

Chen Dong wasn't sure what classes were in the morning; he was busy doing practice problems.

Ye Wanwan found him four math test papers. The first three units each had a set of questions, and the last one was a comprehensive test of the three units, which was equivalent to the midterm exam of the first semester of the first year of high school.

The difficulty level was moderate, not too basic but not particularly difficult either. It posed little challenge to Chen Dong, and he basically didn't encounter any questions that made him pick up his pen to think.

The four test papers were all completed in less than three class periods.

In the last class, Chen Dong started reviewing the content of Unit 4, sorted through Ye Wanwan's notes, and then took out his workbook to continue doing practice problems.

There was a deliberate mistake.

Soon it was time to leave school, the part of school life that students looked forward to the most, and they left the classroom happily in twos and threes.

"Little Yezi, let's have lunch together."

Chen Dong and Liu Yumo walked over from the back row, and the former gently patted her head to greet her.

"Dong-ge, you guys go ahead and eat. I'll finish this test paper first before I eat," Ye Wanwan said, not trying to avoid him, but simply making up an excuse to refuse.

She had heard everything. Dong-ge had something to do at noon, and she didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Do you want to do the test or go hungry?" Chen Dong narrowed his eyes, as if he could see through Ye Wanwan's thoughts.

"I'll eat after I finish cooking~" Ye Wanwan said somewhat guiltily.

Chen Dong hadn't eaten breakfast, so she gave him her lunch and dinner. She had run out of food and didn't want to spend money to eat out, so she decided to skip breakfast and eat after school in the afternoon.

Because the school provided steamed buns for dinner that night.

"Little Ye, do you know you're really bad at lying? Your guilty expression is written all over your face," Chen Dong said, bending down and smiling at Ye Wanwan.

Ye Wanwan's face instantly flushed red, and she stammered, "I, I..."

"Alright, I know steamed buns are your lunch and dinner. I was too hungry this morning, so I had no choice. What else do you have to eat now? You're not thinking of going out for a big meal by yourself, are you?" Chen Dong teased, feigning surprise.

"I, I didn't..." Ye Wanwan hurriedly raised her head to explain.

"It's fine if you do, but you have to bring me and Mozi along, okay? Aren't we friends?" Chen Dong interrupted her and asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Ye Wanwan nodded blankly.

"Why say so much when we're friends? If you have food, I'll eat yours; if you don't, come with me and eat mine. Yesterday I invited Mozi to dinner, and he didn't stand on ceremony at all. That's what friends are for, you know?"

Chen Dong used Liu Yumo as an example, then changed the subject, "Unless you don't want to be friends with us."

"No, I think..." Ye Wanwan waved her hands repeatedly, somewhat flustered.

She was willing, she was very willing.

She finally made a friend who didn't look down on her and treated her so well, how could she bear to give up?

"Then come with me."

Chen Dong immediately pulled her up.

He understood Ye Wanwan's mindset perfectly; she genuinely didn't want to cause trouble for others, but how could Chen Dong possibly see it as trouble?

He wanted to improve the silly girl's diet by taking her home for meals, while also respecting her self-esteem; she ate all four steamed buns that morning.

"Let's go, Sister Ye, there's no need for such formalities between good friends."

Liu Yumo also got started.

In the past, Ye Wanwan would have been terrified if they had taken her away, but now she only felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
