In this day and age, the use of pencils was still a common sight. One would be the regular wooden pencil that needed constant sharpening, while the other was the mechanical pencil that could be used with just a click.

Other than that, there were all kinds of erasers, notebooks for doing homework, and some exquisite notebooks, but most people could not afford those. Thev were several times more exDensive than ordinarv notebooks.

Liu Hua was hooked when she saw those exquisite notebooks. There was an obvious desire in her eyes.

Xia Wan didn’t say anything about helping her buy these exquisite notebooks. According to Painter Liu’s current income, bringing these notebooks to school would only draw criticism from the other students.

“Give me six pens, three pencil sharpeners, five squares, five horizontal ones, and five blank ones. Also, give me a box of watercolor pens.”

Xia Wan pointed to the Lady Boss one by one.

The lady boss smiled from ear to ear. She didn’t expect this girl to buy so much stationery. She spoke more enthusiastically and took the initiative to ask, “Girl, are you bringing stationery for your classmate?”

Xia Wan smiled and replied politely, “I still have two brothers at home, so I bought them as well.”

The lady boss quickly put these things on the table and asked, “Do you want anything else? Take an eraser too. It’ll be useful if you make a mistake.”

Xia Wan nodded. “Okay, three too.”

The lady boss enthusiastically went to get an eraser.

Xia Wan looked at the exquisite notebooks and thought about it. She decided to buy three, and she’d give one to Xia Chen and Xia Feng each. Although her brother didn’t study anymore, the notebooks could also be used as a diary.

Besides, when the family business was on the right track, she still had to sponsor her brother’s studies.

Xia Chen’s grades had always been good when he was in high school, but he gave up in his second year. At that time, he told his family that he was under too much pressure.

However, she knew that her brother felt that his family would never be able to continue supporting his education, based on their circumstances, and he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to study.

“Lady Boss, take four of these notebooks,” Xia Wan said.

The Lady Boss’s eyes lit up, but she still reminded her, “Girl, this notebook costs two yuan each. Did you bring that much money?”

Xia Wan replied, “Don’t worry, I have enough.”

Only then did the lady boss put the notebook away with relief.

At this moment, the door of the stationery store was opened, and two more customers came in.

Song Zhi’s voice rang out. “Yo, Xia Wan, why are you here to buy stationery? It seems like you’ve earned quite a bit from selling clothes.”

Xia Wan looked in the direction of the voice. It was Song Zhi and Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen saw Xia Wan, a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He was handsome, and his grades were good. There were many girls in school who liked to express their goodwill in front of him. Among them, Xia Wan was the most enthusiastic. She would come to him almost every class.

Xia Wan’s academic performance was very poor, but she always liked to ask him questions.

He actually knew that Xia Wan was not listening to what he said seriously.

“Xia Wan, did you find out from others that I came back here to buy stationery today, so you specially came to meet me?” Zhou Chen asked.

Xia Wan was dumbfounded and looked at Zhou Chen in a daze.

She was shocked by his shamelessness. He actually thought that she was here to buy stationery to meet him?

To make matters worse, he went on to think that Xia Wan was in a daze because he was right. That was why she had such an expression.

Zhou Chen’s expression became even more disgusted. “Xia Wan, there were a lot of people in school before, so there were some things that I couldn’t say. But now that we’re in high school, I hope that we can spend more time on our studies and not dating.

“Your academic performance leaves a lot to be desired. At this rate, you might not be able to get into a good university. It’s also very difficult for your family to support you in high school. I hope you won’t ask about me in the future and focus on your studies.”

In fact, Zhou Chen did not care whether Xia Wan’s grades were good or not..
