After a few weeks of attending school, Emma had already managed to familiarize herself with her surroundings. However, because she was reclusive and didn't want to stand out, she never went to the cafeteria for lunch during recess.
She had always brought lunch from home and ate in her classroom while studying for the next subject. Sometimes, she would eat while preparing the tutorial materials for her five students. Emma didn't want to accept charity by taking money from Haoran and his friends without doing her work well. Therefore, she was trying her best.
Mary and Nadya were two of her closest classmates because they sat next to her. They had noticed that Emma never left the classroom during breaks and wondered why she wasn't interested in socializing. Nadya even suspected that Emma didn't have money to buy lunch in the cafeteria, so she tried to approach the girl and invite her.
