Kang Daqiao sat there in a daze for an entire day. She only let out a sigh of relief when the sky turned dark. No matter what, life still had to go on.
Her little sister had finally given her the chance to study. She could not let it go to waste. Even if it was difficult, she had to go.
In November, in the northeast, it had even started snowing. The weather was cold and freezing. It had already begun.
Kang Daqiao put on a thick down jacket, put on a hat, and carried her backpack as she walked towards school.
Kang Tianhai had promised Kang Xiaoqiao that he would send Kang Daqiao to and from school. However, he was very busy every day and had countless social engagements. Kang Daqiao was also attending night school, which was the time for eating.
Kang Daqiao was afraid that he would delay things, so she refused to let Kang Tianhai send her home. Therefore, she went alone. Fortunately, Kang Tianhai was still kind enough to let Aunt Wang follow her home until she reached school.
When he was done, Kang Daqiao had also finished school and was picking her up.
This day was no different from usual. When they reached the school gate, Aunt Wang went home. Kang Daqiao let out a sigh of relief and entered the campus.
In the winter campus, after the snow had fallen, there was a scene of snow everywhere. On the tall pine trees, the pine branches that were bent by the snow were trembling.
Kang Daqiao carefully walked towards Huiwen building. She only let out a sigh of relief when she reached the gate.
Before entering the classroom, she met a very delicate-looking boy. As if they had met by chance, he greeted her when he saw her. "Eh, Student Kang, you're here so early?"
Kang Daqiao's face turned red before she could speak. She glanced at the boy opposite her and muttered, "It's not early anymore. Class will start in a while. You are?"
The boy's eyes lit up even more. Kang Daqiao was just too pretty. Her face turned red before she could say anything. Her eyes were like deer, moist and constantly scratching her heart.
Hence, his smile became even more cheerful. "Aiya, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Liu Xing. I'm sitting two rows behind you on the right. You probably don't know me."
"Oh, that's right. I don't know a lot of what this teacher is talking about. Student Kang, I see that you're taking notes seriously. Can you lend it to me to take a look?"
There was a way to woo girls. There was no better reason and excuse than to borrow something. This time, they would meet twice. In addition, in order to express their gratitude, he should at least treat her to a meal to bond with her, right?
Needless to say, this little boy named Liu Xing was very powerful. He had already learned how to pick up girls. Kang Daqiao was a little flattered by Liu Xing's initiative and enthusiasm.
Her face turned even redder. She nodded her head in embarrassment. "I, I don't remember it too well. You, if you don't mind, just, just take it."
Kang Daqiao was not very good at socializing, especially with boys. She had never met a strange boy who had hit on her like this before.
Her heart was beating very fast, and she was also very nervous. She was not very familiar with the boy in front of her. She had only met him a few times, so it was even more difficult to say that she liked him.
However, she was a kind person, and she also liked to help others. To be honest, the things they were learning now were only elementary school textbooks. How difficult could it be?
Unfortunately, Kang Daqiao didn't think of it that way. It was probably very difficult for people like them who had never studied since they were young?
The two of them were talking back and forth. Kang Daqiao was about to hand over the neatly preserved classroom notes to Liu Xing, but the notebook suddenly disappeared. Then, a woman's disdainful voice came from behind. "Tsk, I thought what?"
"Someone borrowed this damn thing? How old are you? You don't even know elementary school stuff. Isn't it embarrassing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the boy named Liu Xing's expression changed. On the other hand, Kang Daqiao's face was as white as paper. Her entire body was trembling, and her eyes were filled with fear.
When Liu Xing saw this, he said angrily, "Who are you? Why are you snatching other people's things?"
"Will we care about your business? Return the notebook to classmate Kang?"
The woman opposite him laughed lightly when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Who am I? Ask her?"
"Tsk tsk, look at the handwriting. It looks like Old Zhang is crawling. Do you have the nerve to lend it to someone else?"
"Just like a dirty person like you. It's better not to be an eyesore--"
As she said that, she actually started minding her own business. With a crack, she tore the notebook in half and then hit Kang Daqiao's face with all her strength.
Then, she said with a disdainful expression, "Are you deaf? Don't you understand human language? Didn't I tell you not to come to school in the future? You're so dirty. Don't pollute this sacred place, the school?"
"I really admire a thick-skinned woman like you. Heh, don't you know your own identity? How can you still have the face to come out? If I were you, I would have died long ago so as not to dirty other people's eyes."
The woman in front of Kang Daqiao kept insulting Kang Daqiao. More and more people gathered around her, and some of them were Kang Daqiao's classmates. They were about to arrive at class, so there were even more people gathered.
Everyone looked at Kang Daqiao and this arrogant and despotic little girl in front of them with strange gazes. They did not understand what kind of grudges they had, why would they say such ugly words.
Everyone also whispered among themselves. "Hey, do you know who this person is? Isn't she too arrogant?"
"I don't know her. I've never seen her before. But, from what she said, it seems like something happened to Kang Daqiao."
"Tsk, there must be something shameful. Look at her. She dresses beautifully every day. It's obvious that she's not a good person. If she had a good family background, she would have gone to school long ago. Why would she need to attend night school here?"
"That's right, that's right -- pui! I told you she didn't look like a good person, but you didn't believe me. Tsk tsk, didn't you hear that woman call her dirty? Tsk, she must have done something shameful in private."
"It can't be, right? Don't say that. She never talks nonsense. I think she's quite honest and good-looking."
"Pui -- you were deceived by her appearance. What's good-looking? One look and you can tell she's a fox. Didn't you see that Liu Xing was seduced by her? Hmph, Liu Xing is so good at his studies. Why would he need to borrow a notebook from her? Who would believe him if he told others?"
...
Everyone spoke one after another. Some of them criticized Kang Daqiao to death, while others felt that Kang Daqiao was usually not that good. However, most of the people who spoke ill of her were still girls.
It was their fault that they were not as good-looking as Kang Daqiao, and their studies were not as good as hers, not to mention how they dressed. She was more than eight streets ahead of them.
