Chapter 83 - 83: Finish It Yourself

They chatted for a while. Then Mr. Cromwell left and went to the playground to train sports students.

Mrs. Lee's look was very complicated. She frowned and got out of her mind for a while. Then she walked into her office.

***

After that afternoon's class, the school would have the Mid-Autumn festival holiday.

All afternoon, the students looked a little excited and frequently distracted in class. In English class, Ms. Schultz asked a simple question, but several students couldn't answer it.

Ms. Schultz was unhappy, "It seems that there is too little homework."

Then she asked students to finish a few more test papers.

Right then, the students moaned. Ms. Schultz had such a strange logic. How did the distraction relate to homework?

Ms. Acheson also assigned a lot of homework. With the homework assigned by other teachers, the amount of homework was exactly twice as much as the usual weekend.

They just had an extra day off!

And they soon realized that: it was a fake mid-autumn festival!

What was the difference between a mid-autumn festival holiday occupied by homework and having classes at school?

Delgado sighed, "Oh, no. I have to do my homework all these days."

He looked around and saw that Sophia was writing the test paper she had just got hastily, and it was not long before she finished it.

At once, an idea came to him. He got close to her with a smile, "Can you lend me your paper, Sophia? I want to copy it."

Sophia didn't look up. She continued her writing and said coldly, "No! Finish it yourself!"

"How about… another bag of jerky?" Delgado tried to persuade her.

"Then, you should copy Ever's homework!"

No response from Delgado.

Sophia knew that Delgado's study was not good. He had to study hard during the critical period of senior three reviews. Although he wanted to study art, which had a low grade required to enter college, it wasn't a sure thing by his grade.

Depressingly, Delgado saw that Sophia finished all her homework in one self-study class.

"By the way, is there anything I need to buy to make mooncakes?" Sophia asked Delgado before leaving school.

"No. I'll get everything ready." Replied Delgado.

Then Sophia picked up her bag, walked to the carport, and then walked to the gate with her bike.

Outside the gate, she got on her bike. As she waited for the green light at a crossroads, she saw a familiar figure in front of her. It seems to be the teacher who advised her to take the math specialty in the morning. 

Beside her was a man who looked a little decadent, stubble, and weary. He was arguing with her.

"Don't think I don't know why you didn't divorce me! I'm telling you, I've had enough of you! If you don't give me the money, I'll announce the fact that we've long been separated. And everyone around you will laugh at you!" The man said unscrupulously.

"Shut up! You're really not ashamed." She frowned.

"Shame? I have nothing to be ashamed of. You know my company is an empty shell. There was nothing long ago! I don't care about shame! I'm going to tell everyone that not only have I separated from you, but I have already hooked up with a widow."

"You bastard!"

Right then, the green light was on. Sophia rode past them. She didn't look back, afraid of being seen by the teacher.

Obviously, the teacher didn't want anyone to know about it. Sophia didn't mean to know about other people's personal affairs.

***

In the evening, Sophia told Kate that she wanted to make mooncakes with her classmates the next day. Kate agreed without hesitation.

"Will the boy you went to his sister's funeral be there?" Kate said, "If so, you invite him to dinner here. He will definitely be lonely on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Sophia didn't expect her to say that. She was touched. Caring about an unfamiliar kid, Kate was really kind.

***

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. After breakfast, Sophia rode her bike to Kevin's.

Here, was also her home before.

She came here last time to accompany Kevin to meet Williams. But she didn't go up. So, it was the first time she walked into the house since the fire.

Everything seemed so familiar to her, yet so far away.

Kevin opened the building gate for her. She got into the elevator and got to the door.

The red-brown security door was still affixed with the New year's red couplets and images, which were a little dilapidated, but still complete. Sophia remembered that they were chosen by her. At that time, she was in the wheelchair watching Kevin paste them. At that time, she would never have expected something like that to happen in the future.

Sophia Green reached out and rang the doorbell, and her hands trembled slightly.

Soon, there was a slight footstep inside, and then Kevin's smiley face appeared.

"Come in, sis. There are slippers at the door."

Sophia green looked down. The slippers on the ground were a new pair of women's cloth slippers. They were quite simple.

She used to enter the door in her wheelchair and didn't need to change shoes. To her, shoes were just decorations, and it didn't matter what shoes she wore.

Did Kevin specially prepare these slippers for her?

"You are so early! Have you had breakfast yet?" Kevin asked.

"I've had breakfast at home." Sophia put on her slippers and walked into the room.

The home was the same as before, basically unchanged.

Kevin served some pre-made cookies and snacks for Sophia to eat. Sophia was at ease. As she ate, she picked up the TV remote control and turned on the TV to watch the news.

Soon after, Melissa and Delgado arrived one by one. Delgado came with a big bag with things he needed to make mooncakes.

Since everyone was there, they went into the kitchen and began to make mooncakes.

The kitchen was so big that there was enough room for four people. When everyone washed their hands, Kevin began to arrange the job.

Most of the work was done by him and Delgado.. As for Sophia and Melissa, who know little about cooking, were only assigned the task of filling.
