Whenever Shuishui studied, she would be fully immersed in her studies. She would not let her mind wander because she knew how knowledgeable her teachers were. Since she wanted to learn, she naturally had to put in effort and not just talk about it. She rarely had to study something all over again.
The three teachers really liked Shuishui's learning attitude. Once she started to study, she would not think about anything else and would not look for excuses. She was always serious and would fully immerse herself in her studies.
Such a child was not only sensible but also studious. How could no one like her?
That day during their lunch together, Shuishui talked about her exam results and told them that she wanted to go to the third high school.
Teacher Hu was confused. "Why not go to the first high school? You can go with your score. Could it be that you didn't choose to go to the first high school before? If that's the case, Teacher Hu will help you solve it."
He said it confidently, but Shuishui was not familiar with the seriousness in Teacher Hu's words. She just shook her head and said, "Teacher, thank you. But I promised a friend that I would go to the same high school as him. His score can only go to the third high school, so I will go to the third high school. It's fine. The third high school is pretty good. I went to investigate yesterday. The surrounding area is safe, and the traffic flow there is not bad."
After Shuishui talked of safety, Teacher Hu looked at Shuishui. At her age, she was already slim and graceful. She indeed had to watch out for her own safety, especially because she was a beautiful girl. "Shuishui, my friend had a daughter who was robbed at night, and some bad things happened. I think that girls should still have the ability to defend themselves. In a few days, my old friend will come over. He is preparing to settle down here and has bought a house. He used to be in the special forces. Now that he has retired, I will ask him to teach you some self-defense techniques. It will be good for you."
Shuishui blinked her eyes. "Can you do that?"
"Yes. I will definitely get him to teach you. Don't worry, he still owes me a lot of favors for what I did for him in the past." Teacher Hu nodded his head. Since that fellow was here, he would definitely take her in as a student. He had a feeling of wanting to nurture Shuishui into becoming a versatile child. As he got older, he no longer thought about fame and fortune. The most important thing for him was happiness. Moreover, he was very fond of Shuishui. If it was possible, he hoped that Shuishui could embark on the path of music. However, judging her appearance, he knew that Shuishui already had her own plans for herself, and he did not want to force his own plans on Shuishui.
Shuishui did not know that Teacher Hu thought deeply about so much. She ate light food, which was pretty good for her and her body. Although she liked to eat meat, she also paid attention to her health.
That afternoon, Shuishui started calligraphy and ink painting. The two were very similar and could not be separated.
Shuishui started her lessons, and soon she smelled of books.
That afternoon when finished studying, the teachers asked her to stay for dinner. They said that they wanted to take her out for dinner. They wanted to celebrate for her as she had done well in her middle school exams.
That evening, Shuishui received a message from Mu Zilin. He said that he was going to school the day after the next to get his junior high school graduation certificate and to have his graduation photos taken.
Shuishui then said to the teachers, "Teachers, I'm going to school the day after tomorrow to have my graduation photos taken. I might not be able to come in the morning. I'll come over in the afternoon."
"Okay. What do you want to eat tonight? The teachers will order what you want." Teacher Li and Teacher Meng had not gone out for a long time.
They were old and rarely went out to eat. They felt that there was nothing good to eat outside.
That day was special because Shuishui brought good news, so they had to celebrate.
Shuishui took into account the situation of the three teachers. "How about this? Let's go eat casserole porridge and eat some seafood."
"Sure." This child was always considerate of others.
Shuishui's understanding was really lovable. Shuishui informed the driver that she would be going out to eat with the teachers so that he did not have to pick her up.
Originally, they were going to eat casserole porridge. Many restaurants were too crowded, so they had to look for somewhere else to go. Shuishui thought for a while and said, "Teachers, we can also go eat farm food."
They decided to go to the farm. Teacher Hu drove the car and navigated.
When they arrived at the farm, they happened to meet Shuishui's classmate who was there as well. They were friends, but they had a typical average relationship. When she saw Shuishui, she took the initiative to talk to Shuishui. "Qian Shuishui, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."
Shuishui, who was in her seat, was slightly stunned. This person seemed to be called Hao Yueli. "Yes, what a coincidence."
She wasn't very familiar with this person. In any case, they were in different circles. Hao Yueli's grades were not bad, and she was also a literature and arts committee member. Shuishui remembered that she was a versatile girl. As for how versatile she was, she had no memory of it.
Elder Hu knew the girl and thought that she was very familiar. Hao Yueli also recognized the old man. Her parents had previously brought her to visit him and wanted her to learn the erhu from him, but he didn't accept her.
"Teacher, this is my junior high school classmate. Her name is . . . Hao Yueli." Shuishui paused for a moment. She was confirming the name, and she was worried that she had said the wrong name. How bad would that be?
The three teachers only nodded, because from Shuishui's tone, it seemed that their relationship was very ordinary.
"Teacher?" Hao Yueli was a little confused.
Shuishui faintly smiled and said, "I'm currently studying under these teachers. I'm sorry, but I have to order now. After all, we're here to eat."
Shuishui's words made Elder Meng laugh. 'This child could be quite mature and cute sometimes.'
The waiter came forward and Shuishui ordered the dishes. Since the three elders had given her the authority, she naturally had her considerations and ordered three easy-to-digest dishes. "Hakka fermented tofu, garlic sprouts, salted fish eggplant pot, white-cut chicken, one portion of boiled beef, and four portions of stewed soup."
"We have tofu flower dessert after dinner. Do you want to try it? It's all handmade," the waiter said.
"Then let's have four portions." Shuishui nodded.
Hao Yueli felt a little awkward and returned to her seat. Members asked her, "Old Mister Hu is here too?"
"En." Hao Yueli's heart was a little confused, and she felt complicated. "He seems to be out for dinner with his student. I know that student too. She's my classmate. She eats, drinks, and plays all day long. Her family only has a little money."
"Aiyo, why would Elder Hu accept such a person? She must have spent a lot of money too." The middle-aged woman was a little unhappy. They had specially come to visit Elder Hu before, but he had chatted with her daughter and told them that he wouldn't accept any students. It had only been a few months since then.
But she said those words only to vent her anger. It was the teacher's business whom he wanted to accept.
However, Hao Yueli's mood was different. She thought that she was much better than Shuishui in all aspects. Her family background was not excellent, but she was an excellent student nonetheless. 'What is so good about Qian Shuishui? She is beautiful. Her family is rich, but she is useless in other aspects.'
