She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1052 - 883: Super Star 57 (Part 2)

"You’re studying now for yourself, not for them, because it’s about your own future. If you don’t do well, won’t you have to look at others’ faces even more? Your father already has a son, even though you are the eldest daughter, you may not have a share in that family. Instead of pinning your future on others, why not bet on yourself?"

"But my academic subjects are too poor,"

"That doesn’t matter, weaknesses can be improved. As long as you’re willing to learn, I’m willing to help you."

Molly was moved, and Hua Yan indeed walked the talk. All the fragmented time in school—after class, during evening self-study—was devoted to Molly.

This is the true Hua Yan. Once she finds someone she clicks with, all unpleasantness can actually be ignored.

Of course, Molly was always by her side, feeding her during meals, helping her with her pants in the bathroom, and twisting the cap off her water bottle.

In any situation where she needed a hand, Molly was there.

Only after one month, such a big change occurred that all classmates were shocked and demanded an explanation.

But at this moment, Hua Yan and Molly just exchanged a knowing smile; some secrets were meant to be known only to them.

The friends Molly had made before gradually grew distant from her, and now she was clearly Hua Yan’s close confidante.

Not understanding before was one thing, but now that she understood, she discovered Hua Yan was a mystery, with different surprises awaiting her every day.

They were both human, both girls, both experiencing a blossoming rainy season—why could she be so outstanding?

The more comparisons were made, the wider the gap seemed to grow, but one sentence deeply stuck in her mind.

Every bit of hardship she endured, every page she studied, could become future connections and money. Hence, whether it’s hardship or exhaustion, it’s just three years of perseverance. After three years, when the results show, she will realize she too can strive as hard.

It’s said that good and bad are decided in an instant. Molly would never forget the scene of Hua Yan leading the bad guys away, nor her helpless breakdown against the car. Just for her not bringing up that night’s events afterward, Molly vowed to be her friend.

As for her own family, heh, Yanyan was right. Forced familial affection can’t withstand any wind and rain. Instead of pinning hopes on the elusive notion of family ties, it’s better to fight for her own life.

Even after skipping more than a month of classes, Hua Yan only fell behind one or two ranks in exams, maintaining her usual standard.

But Molly was different; from the bottom of the class, she climbed to be the tenth from the bottom. Even though she was still at the end, she at least passed mathematics and English.

Their class was an experimental class; ninety percent of the kids were promising prospects selected to be there. The remaining ten percent, well, they were good at piano and chose to overlook academic subjects, specifically Molly got in through her dad’s sponsorship of pianos for the school, which made her the eternal youngest in the experimental class.

Previously, she was just getting by, even finding it a blessing when the school called her parents, thinking she could see her father. Now she realized how ridiculous she had been.

Because her so-called father had never once looked her directly in the eye. Whenever he came home, all he cared about were the son and daughter from his current wife.

While she, on the other hand, became his so-called burdensome baggage.

Hua Yan taught her to be independent and self-reliant, so from now on, she wouldn’t devalue herself so much. She too would live for herself.

The fortunate thing was, although her academic subjects were poor, her specialty subjects didn’t look too bad, she still had hope, and she was determined to strive to get into Central Music.

Having been through so many things, Hua Yan had seen quite a few cases of students transforming from academic underdogs into top students. Once Molly entered her tireless learning mode, no one could stop her, proving she wasn’t foolish and knew what she wanted. It was just that she lacked an opportunity before; who could have thought that their unexpected encounter on that night would lead to such profound friendship?

In mid-June, after the final exams, Hua Yan went to the hospital to have the plaster removed. Her wrist became more active, and the problem wasn’t too big.

She registered for the piano competition. The exam was at the end of August, so she still had time, and the teacher also said that she could come to school for regular lessons during the holidays.

Molly also registered, saying she wanted to know where she lagged behind, so she could improve in the future.

Although the school was on break, Hua Yan kept frequenting the school every two or three days, and spent the rest of her time doing post-production work in the crew.

On June 20th, when the final exam results came out, Hua Yan maintained her second-place honor in the grade, and naturally, Jin Yuanqing was first. But classmate Molly, astonishingly broke into the top two hundred, among ten classes with thirty students each, and she entered the top two hundred among three hundred students; this was already a huge improvement as she used to rank below 280.

Advancing nearly one hundred ranks at once, how could it not be admirable and applaudable?

Molly was thrilled too. In order not to go home, she continued to stay at school, spending the morning in the library and the afternoon in the piano room, living her days just like before. The only change was the lack of a cafeteria at school, forcing her to buy food outside.

Because Central Music Academy offers tutoring sessions during winter and summer vacations, the school still had people around even during breaks. The student dormitory could be freely accessed, and many students whose home training was inadequate were sent to school for teacher supervision, there was a multitude of them, and all parents needed to do was pay some tutoring fees. For Molly, money was not a problem. She also eagerly embraced the chance to reset and start anew, recognizing the winter-summer holidays as crucial periods for transformation, therefore cherishing the opportunity.
