Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Ergency Rescue in the Wulin
Zhaodi stayed outside until late at night, and nobody ca out to look for her. Mosquitoes buzzed incessantly around her, leaving her body covered with large red welts.
After considering her options, she realized she had nowhere else to go. With resentnt weighing heavily in her heart, she returned ho. She quickly washed up with water from the well in the yard and then silently slipped back into her room to lie down on the bed.
Zhao Xiaojuan, who had been fighting off sleep, finally relaxed: It was good that she had co back.

“Lazy pig, get up and co eat,” Su Wanyu called out, carrying steaming pork buns and porridge from the kitchen to Jiang Mianmian, who had just walked out of the room.
“Mom, where’s dad?” Jiang Mianmian, who had just woken up, was still a bit drowsy.
“Don’t you see what ti it is? Your dad went to work a long ti ago. Li Lan and Wang Li will be arriving soon if you don’t hurry.”
Jiang Mianmian looked up and saw that it was already past eight o’clock; she had indeed slept for quite a while.
She stuck out her tongue and quickly sat down to eat the big pork buns.
Li Lan arrived with her books in hand just after Mianmian had finished her al.
“Lan Jie, you’re here. Haven’t you finished your howork yet?” Mianmian asked curiously, noting the howork Li Lan was holding.
Li Lan was one of those hardworking, studious kids. School was about to start in about a week, so logically, she should have finished her howork by now.
“I’ve done most of it, but there are so difficult problems I can’t solve, so I saved them hoping you’d explain them to when you got back,” Li Lan explained.
“Alright, which ones can’t you do? I’ll explain them to you.”
The two sat at the dining table. Li Lan circled the problems she couldn’t solve, and Mianmian explained them one by one.
Just as Mianmian had explained three problems, Wang Li rushed in energetically. Seeing Su Wanyu wasn’t in the room, he nudged Mianmian’s arm and whispered, “Mianmian, have you finished your sumr howork?”
Mianmian blinked, “I finished it, yeah.”
“You’re amazing. Since you’ve finished your howork and you’ve got nothing else to do, help a brother out and write mine for . I haven’t started yet,” Wang Li pleaded, shaking his untouched howork that looked like a new book.
Without a second thought, Mianmian refused, “No way, do your own howork. There’s enough ti if you start now.”
She would have been too lazy to do her own howork if not for feeling a “heavy responsibility.”
“Ah, Mianmian, please. I’m begging you, just help this once. It’s an ergency, I beg you. There are so many problems I can’t do. I definitely won’t finish if I do it myself. Don’t worry, I won’t let you help for nothing. If you complete these two subjects for , I’ll lend you my comics and share my snacks from ho. When school starts, if anyone bullies you, just tell , and I’ll beat them up for you. I’ll have your back in school, making sure no one dares to ss with you. How about it?” Wang Li clasped his hands together in plea after plea to Mianmian.
“I said no, and I an no. Start with what you can do. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can ask ,” Mianmian staunchly refused Wang Li’s ‘unreasonable’ request.
Seeing that Mianmian wouldn’t budge, Wang Li could only sigh in resignation and started slowly working on his howork, calculating and writing bit by bit.
It didn’t take long for him to start frowning, scratching his head, and tugging at his ear in frustration. Mianmian found it rather amusing but didn’t bother with him and went back to her room to get the Walkman Yu Rou had given her.
