Chapter 290: He Became Wealthy Through Breathing!
While Xie Luan was trying her best to decipher the words of Boss Liu, Bai Changle was planning to send her mom home and return to the shop again.
‘Hmph, I am going to stuff this old man into his antique vases if he says some bulls.h.i.+t again!’
But after Bai Changle sent Xie Luan home and returned to the Water Cloud Enclosure, he found the doors locked again.
It was quiet inside. Even if Bai Changle kicked the door away, no one would answer.
“s.h.i.+t! Did that man not have a business to run? Did he become wealthy just through breathing?!” Bai Changle knocked over the stone stool on the side angrily with his leg, causing it to suddenly spasm.
He jumped in circles on the ground for a while until his leg recovered.
Gu Yan, on the other hand, was focused on studying. However, after working hard for an entire day, she missed Lu Ye a lot during the night.
Mobile phones were not invented yet. Even pagers did not become popular until the 90s. Gu Yan sighed. Lovesickness was a disease.
Long-distance relations.h.i.+ps during this era weren’t easy. After the second millennium, people could at least call, video call, and send texts.
But at that time, many people still couldn’t handle long-distance relations.h.i.+ps and would choose to break up in the end.
Gu Yan rubbed her face in a bid to make herself sleepy. It was best to go to bed early. Tomorrow morning, she had to do two more English practice tests.
The following day was a weekend. The morning would be devoted to self-studying. Then, there would be Math and English mock tests, which will be supervised by Sun Xingyu.
Gu Yan finished two English tests in the morning and did three more tests. She felt a little exhausted as she rubbed her temples.
Next to her, Jiang Yue also felt tired although she did fewer tests than Gu Yan.
“We’ll rest in the afternoon and self-study at night. A teacher will be sent out to explain the questions to us without notice. Our minds are tensed up every day. I’m worried we will be burned out before the official examination.”
“The teachers don’t have it easy either. Look, we only need to be anxious for a short while, but the teachers had to teach students year after year. They would also be nervous with the students. It’s not easy,” Gu Yan said as a green light poked out of her finger and circulated around her forehead.
The jade pendant had been working very hard lately. It needed to treat Xie Luan and Chen Yuan’s conditions. Luckily, Gu Yan supplied it with quite a lot of herbs. The bulb inside the jade pendant was growing larger and larger. She could even see the pink color faintly.
Gu Yan was really looking forward to it.
Although Chen Yuan gave a lot of herbs to her, Gu Yan bought the batch of herbs that were used to treat Xie Luan. She didn’t have much money. She either purchased herbs or studied the review materials during this period. She wasn’t even willing to buy herself clothes. She only had less than 50 dollars at the moment.
This was something very serious!
There was nowhere to spend money within the school. She had paid all the fees in one go before.
But after the cosmic alliance exam, she would need to think of other ways to earn more money.
Gu Yan narrowed her eyes as her mind wandered.
Jiang Yue nodded seriously. “You’re right, Gu Yan! The teachers don’t have an easy time either. They’re amazing. I want to be a teacher in the future!”
Gu Yan patted Jiang Yue’s shoulder with approval. “Great idea, Jiang Yue! Good luck!”
Suddenly, a man approached Gu Yan’s table and said shyly, “Gu Yan, someone is looking for you.”
