The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1046 - 399: Studying (3)

Chen Nan and He Tiantian’s situations are quite similar; though they have father, mother, and siblings, they feel like orphans.

The family favors boys over girls. Unlike other girls who were exploited by their parents and siblings, Chen Nan insisted on continuing her studies, nearly breaking ties with her family to secure her education.

Normally, she doesn’t return home, partly because she doesn’t want to waste time, partly because she needs to work part-time, and partly because she doesn’t want to face those so-called relatives who are actually worse than strangers!

In that so-called home, Chen Nan feels no warmth, only anger, oppression, and unwillingness.

He Tiantian and Chen Nan share a kind of empathy in some sense.

Chen Nan seems more focused on her studies and is not very close with classmates.

Even with her roommates, she merely shares a nodding acquaintance.

Although Chen Nan appears cold, she is actually very kind-hearted.

She has often given reminders to He Tiantian; although not much help, this kindness is greatly appreciated by He Tiantian.

Additionally, Chen Nan’s resilience and clear confidence are deeply admired by He Tiantian.

Not everyone stuck in a mire can rely solely on their own strength to break free.

Chen Nan did it.

She hasn’t been brainwashed by her relatives, instead she remains remarkably strong. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Some criticize her for being too heartless, but He Tiantian greatly appreciates her—rather than being trapped by so-called familial bonds and becoming a pitiful helping-brother demon, it’s better to live one’s own exciting life.

Previously, He Tiantian was pondering how to help this kind yet resilient classmate without hurting Chen Nan’s pride.

After collaborating with Duan Yong, He Tiantian came up with an idea.

He Tiantian introduced Chen Nan to Duan Yong’s outdoor sports club for work-study.

On weekends or holidays, she could work a few hours a day doing some front desk or member service tasks, earning one or two hundred yuan a day.

Over a month, she could earn about a thousand yuan.

In a big city, this money might only cover the cost of a few people’s dinner.

But for a high school student like Chen Nan living in a small county, it’s half a semester’s living expenses.

The key is, such work doesn’t interfere with her studies.

Chen Nan is very satisfied and greatly thankful to He Tiantian.

Though she doesn’t say it, she knows very well that He Tiantian is looking out for her by introducing her to this club.

Otherwise, at the same pay, the boss could totally hire a more attractive, more available female employee.

Chen Nan maintains self-respect without excessive inferiority, and she doesn’t regard others’ help as charity.

For now, she has no means to repay, but she will remember it silently, and once she has the capability, she is determined to repay well!

Today is the last day of the New Year’s holiday, and Chen Nan went to work at the club again.

Since it was a holiday, the club had many customers, so Chen Nan was busy all day.

The boss, seeing the staff’s hard work, generously ordered some takeout.

Chen Nan ate a meal and then took her daily wage, feeling content as she returned to school.

Upon entering, she saw He Tiantian sitting on the bed, and casually greeted her.

"Didn’t go to the study room, feeling a bit tired, so just took a little nap!"

While speaking, He Tiantian got down from the bed.

After washing her face in the bathroom, He Tiantian felt even more awake.

The details of life before the tasks all came back to her.

"Oh? Just came back, going out again?"

Returning to the dormitory, upon looking up, she saw Chen Nan heading out; He Tiantian already had the answer in her heart but still asked.

"Yeah, going to self-study for a bit, there’s an exam paper I want to redo!"

Chen Nan cherishes her learning opportunities and firmly believes that diligence can make up for inadequacies.

Even during holidays, just after coming back from work, she strives to spend every moment to study.

Packing the paper into her backpack, along with some reference books, she greeted He Tiantian before rushing out.

Watching Chen Nan’s back, He Tiantian muttered, "I guess until the dorm turns off the lights at ten, this diligent model student won’t be back!"

Sigh, seeing peers working so hard, He Tiantian feels embarrassed to be a lazybones.

Climbing back onto the bed, He Tiantian lay flat, called out to Student Xiao D: "I want to exchange for ’Genetic Enhancement Liquid 2.0’."

This is not just simple nutrient liquid; it comes with all the related knowledge.

Student Xiao D responded cutely before opening the Treasure Box Learning Space...
