Chapter 81 Politeness
Upon hearing Wan Chu’er’s words, Teacher Zhu’s mouth twitched slightly. Afraid of trouble? Doesn’t want to be in the spotlight?
Since the founding of Wutong Middle School, no one has been more in the spotlight than Wan Chu’er.
But this outstanding student was her own protégée and even the provincial science top scorer, now so grateful. Naturally, Teacher Zhu beamed and happily accepted the money.
After leaving the school, Wan Chu’er went to see An Lian.
In the courtyard of An Lian’s house, upon entering, Wan Chu’er saw An Lian sitting on the steps. In front of him was a pot of an evergreen plant, and his lips moved as if he were saying something.
Wan Chu’er looked intently and felt that the pot of evergreen seemed very familiar.
Then she remembered, Bai Zhixi had once feared she would damage her eyes from constantly reading and studying, so she bought a bunch of green potted plants, placing them on the windowsill. Every time she read for a while, she would look at the plants to relieve visual fatigue.
The pot of evergreen in front of An Lian was indeed one of those plants Bai Zhixi bought. In recent days, due to Bai Zhixi’s illness, she had neglected to care for these plants, and most had died, except for this pot of evergreen.
It was an inanimate object that sparked memories of someone dear.
It seemed An Lian’s feelings for Bai Zhixi were deeper than she had imagined.
