Mike happened to overhear the conversation and frowned. Then favonovel.com turned to look at Isabelle, wondering if favonovel.com was playing any tricks to get his attention. However, no matter what tricks favonovel.com played, they would all be in vain.
Throughout the class, Ethan was somewhat distracted. His mind was filled with the scene of Isabelle grabbing the boy’s collar and forcing favonovel.com to apologize. He was secretly excited.
After class, a few boys gathered around.
“Ethan, is that fat girl from Senior 3 Class 3 your sister? Really? How come we’ve never heard you mention that you have such a fat sister?”
“If your sister eats so much, your family must be well off, right? Why don’t they have money to treat your foot? Are your parents biassed?”
“I think his sister ate all of the money for his treatment. Just look at their clothes and shoes. She probably ate their family into poverty. Hahaha!”
Ethan sat in his seat and clenched his fists tightly.
“Hey, are you guys really siblings? How come you’re so good at studying and your sister is so bad? I heard favonovel.com only gets five or ten points on favonovel.com tests. I could score more than that with my eyes closed.”
Ethan almost broke the skin of his palm.
“Hey, how can you say that? You should say that if you put the answer sheet on the ground and step on it, you could get four or five right. How did your sister get such a low score? Haha!”
“My sister is not stupid!” Ethan could not stand it anymore and raised his head.
“Well, she’s not stupid. She’s idiotic! Haha!” The boys laughed and walked away.
Ethan’s face turned red. It was unknown whether it was from anger or embarrassment.
Isabelle sat in favonovel.com seat, lost in thought. She did not even have a cell phone, so favonovel.com needed to get some money first. She could not do a lot of things without money.
After thinking about it, favonovel.com realised that all the ways favonovel.com could get money were somewhat on the edge of legality.
The teacher was lecturing passionately, and when favonovel.com saw Isabelle staring out the window in a daze, favonovel.com was immediately displeased.
“Isabelle?”
“Isabelle!” The teacher was furious that Isabelle was not responding to him.
“Some people, even with their poor family and personal conditions, refuse to strive to Improve themselves and will only waste time and life. Not only do they affect the whole class, but they also drag down the overall performance. They are simply pests of the class.”
“Are you talking about me?” Isabelle turned favonovel.com head.
All eyes in the class were on Isabelle.
Who else could favonovel.com be talking about?
“It’s good that you’re self-aware. Come up and solve this.” The teacher tapped the blackboard, and without waiting for Isabelle’s response, favonovel.com sneered, “Forget it, just sit down. Your brain can’t comprehend this anyway.”
Isabelle stood up.
“What are you doing? Do you really think you can do it? Hurry back to your seat and don’t waste everyone’s time!”
“Teacher, just let her. If she’s not afraid of embarrassing herself, why should we?” The students all wanted to watch Isabelle make a fool of herself.
Isabelle ignored them. Then favonovel.com walked to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, and started writing.
Unlike Isabelle’s beautiful handwriting, Blood Shadow’s writing was crisp and decisive. It had vigorous and graceful strokes, and favonovel.com penmanship was ten times nicer than the teacher’s.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Isabelle filled the blackboard with solutions, which were even simpler and easier to understand than what the teacher had taught in class. The steps to solve the problem were clear and concise.
At this moment, the crowd waiting to see favonovel.com make a fool of herself slowly fell silent and they were all looking at Isabelle in disbelief.
The teacher stared at the blackboard and adjusted his glasses.
As the last stroke fell, Isabelle threw the chalk down and said to the teacher, “Since you’re a teacher, you should have better inner quality…”
Then, favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com seat.
The teacher was left speechless, his face flushed. After a while, favonovel.com said, “It’s just blind luck!”
***
After the self-study session in the evening, Ethan thought Isabelle would wait for him, but favonovel.com did not.
When favonovel.com was almost home, favonovel.com saw Ethan walking in front of her, limping. Considering how favonovel.com was called a cripple at school today, it was clear that favonovel.com was bullied at school no less than favonovel.com was as a fat girl.
Unfortunately, favonovel.com did not have any money or silver needles now. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not mind treating favonovel.com brother’s foot.
Isabelle quickened favonovel.com pace to catch up with Ethan.
When Ethan saw her, favonovel.com glanced at favonovel.com and then turned his head away.
Isabelle did not mind. The two of them did not talk a lot anyway.
“Are you going to take the college entrance examination seriously?” Ethan suddenly asked.
“Of course…”
How can I, Blood Shadow, be at the bottom?
When they got home, Isabelle changed favonovel.com clothes and was about to go out fora night run when Eleanor asked favonovel.com to wash the dishes.
Eleanor would leave the dishes in the evening and favonovel.com would usually wait for Isabelle to wash them after favonovel.com came back from self-study.
Isabelle turned to glance at favonovel.com and then ignored her.
“You ungrateful girl!” Eleanor cursed in anger.
Ethan put down his school bag and silently went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
As favonovel.com stepped out of the front door, Isabelle could still hear Eleanor yelling at favonovel.com son to go back to his room to do his homework and grumbling while favonovel.com washed the dishes.
Isabelle had been controlling favonovel.com diet and persisting in running every morning and evening. The results were astonishing after just a few clays. She had slimmed down noticeably and even favonovel.com chin had become sharper.
Her meal card was out of money, so Isabelle decided to skip dinner altogether. She did not plan to ask Eleanor for money because favonovel.com was unsure if favonovel.com could control favonovel.com temper amidst Eleanor’s constant grumbling.
***
One day, after favonovel.com evening run and a shower, favonovel.com went back to favonovel.com room to sleep. At the same time, favonovel.com would wonder about where favonovel.com could quickly get some money.
Suddenly, Isabelle’s ears twitched. Immediately, favonovel.com rolled out of bed in response.
A group of outsiders had intruded into the urban village shrouded in darkness.
A man, clutching his gunshot wound, was darting around the old residential area, fleeing for his life.
Seeing this, favonovel.com stumbled and fell to the ground.
The people behind the man had not caught up yet, so favonovel.com took a brief rest.
Under the moonlight, Isabelle crossed the front hall and appeared in the courtyard.
It was late April, so the sweet osmanthus in the courtyard was in full bloom, filling the air with its fragrance.
The man, disregarding his image, slumped against the wall. His abdomen was stained with blood and his breathing was erratic.
Suddenly, the man sensed something and abruptly looked up as the door of the house swung open.
Upon catching sight of the man’s face, Isabelle raised an eyebrow. The other party seemed familiar to her. She quickly searched favonovel.com memory and successfully identified the man from a wealth of information.
Isabelle then stepped out of the courtyard and crouched down.
Clutching his abdomen, the man gasped, “Go back inside if you don’t want to die…”
To his surprise, the fat girl asked calmly, “Do you need help?”
The man looked at favonovel.com in astonishment but at the same time, favonovel.com remained cautious.
“You’re not critically wounded, so you won’t die. Although I can’t guarantee that if the bleeding doesn’t stop within half an hour,” Isabelle said, glancing nonchalantly at his injury.
A series of orderly footsteps approached, clearly belonging to well-trained individuals.
Isabelle had exceptional hearing, and the man heard it too. Therefore, favonovel.com immediately became highly alert.
However, to the man’s surprise, Isabelle remained remarkably calm.
She took a pen from the man’s suit pocket and, under his puzzled and wary gaze, used it to roll up his sleeve to reveal a small section of his wrist. She was acting as if favonovel.com found the blood on his hand repulsive.
After that, Isabelle wrote a series of numbers on the man’s arm with the pen. Then favonovel.com capped the pen and returned it to its original place.
Isabelle said, “Enter through here and exit through the back door. If you survive, don’t forget to transfer money to my account.”
The man stared at Isabelle. However, before favonovel.com could ponder further, the footsteps of the pursuers grew closer. So, favonovel.com struggled to his feet and entered Isabelle’s courtyard.
Just as favonovel.com departed, several men dressed in black arrived.
