Chapter 194 gave everyone trust

This proved that self-awareness during training was very important. If Qian Anzhi couldn't control himself, then he wouldn't get the results he wanted.

However, because he was Shuishui's younger brother, he was more tolerant towards him. How much he could learn depended on himself. He really didn't have the energy to teach one more person. If Anzhi was very self-aware and more observant of the things Shuishui did, then he would also be happy.

Shuishui looked at Qian Anzhi's appearance. He looked very motivated in the beginning, but during the exercises he looked dejected and neglectful. "Anzhi, persevere. Otherwise, your visit here would have been meaningless."

Qian Anzhi also wanted to persevere, but he couldn't help but slack off. He really had no way to control it. "But it's a lot of hard work," he whined.

Shuishui shook her head helplessly. "Then that means Teacher Li's teachings are not suitable for you."

Not all teachings are suitable for everyone, and she liked Teacher Li's teaching method very much. She knew he would not use traditional methods to teach her. That would be very boring.

That noon, she casually ate a simple lunch at Teacher Li's house. Qian Anzhi was looking forward to the afternoon because Teacher Li wanted to teach him the basics. That afternoon, he was asked to punch a punching bag. He was asked to practice proper boxing stances.

Qian Anzhi's passion and drive to learn was instantly extinguished. Shuishui was learning other things, such as how to dodge and how to break the opponent's moves. He felt that that was what he should be practicing.

After the afternoon class ended, Qian Anzhi went home with Shuishui with a sad face. Shuishui saw his expression and said, "You can't be like that. Since you've started it, you have to work hard. If you persevere, you will improve greatly. Don't think that you will learn everything by being lazy."

"I'm not really lazy. In fact, I'm also very hardworking. In any case, I'll persevere. I won't give up halfway." Although Qian Anzhi felt a little regretful, he still had to abide by what he said, especially because he said it in front of everyone. He felt embarrassed.

At dinner with Li Xue, Shuishui didn't say much. Li Xue merely asked Qian Anzhi about his well-being.

"Anzhi, come home and live with us again," Li Xue said to Anzhi.

Qian Anzhi shook his head. "I want to live in Shuishui's apartment until the end of the semester. She is the one who taught me how to study."

"She can also come to the house to visit you." Li Xue looked at her son and touched his forehead. He had lost weight.

Shuishui bluntly said, "I won't go there."

They were all speechless.

It was another unpleasant night.

Qian Anzhi insisted to stay with Shuishui. Shuishui was also getting busier and busier at school. The debate competition had come to an end. Unfortunately, they didn't qualify for the final round because of Ma Yue's serious mistake. Later, when they found out that Ma Yue did it on purpose, they simply ignored her. Luo Ming was simply too angry with Ma Yue. He told his classmates about it, and the news spread. There was a video recording of the debate match, and everyone saw that it was most likely intentional.

Shuishui didn't care anymore. Ma Yue did it on purpose, and they failed to qualify to the final round because of it. Everyone hated Ma Yue.

Even the teachers were no longer friendly towards Ma Yue. After all, the debate championship was very important to the school. What Ma Yue did was unforgivable to many.

Near the end of the semester, Luo Ming looked for Shuishui. He was right outside their classroom.

"Qian Shuishui," Luo Ming called out to Shuishui.

Shuishui saw Luo Ming outside the classroom. She stood up and walked out. "Why are you here?"

Luo Ming was a little excited. "I have good news for you."

"What good news? Why are you so happy?" Shuishui looked at Luo Ming. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"It's regarding the debate competition. I filed a complaint. I wrote a letter to the judges saying that we lost because Ma Yue deliberately caused trouble. Then, I submitted the video of our competition. It proved that she deliberately didn't answer. I thought that it was really her intention to cause trouble, so I filed a complaint, but I didn't expect it to be successful. I only got the reply because your performance was very outstanding. The organizers will definitely give us a chance, but we have to pass their assessment. The two of us can go. We don't have to bother with Ma Yue anymore. She has already been excluded. Moreover, it seems that they will sanction her. She has to be taught a lesson," Luo Ming said excitedly and in a giddy manner.

Shuishui understood. "So we still have a chance to participate?"

"Yes, and they will communicate with the school about giving Ma Yue demerits. They will tell the school about how Ma Yue maliciously put the team in jeopardy." Luo Ming was disgusted with Ma Yue. He didn't expect her to be such a person.

"It doesn't matter. It's all in the past. Now that we all know about it, she should be ashamed of herself. I guess she also knows that she made it too obvious." Shuishui felt that what Ma Yue did was also very sudden. She had started to get along with Ma Yue prior to the debate matches, but she was surprised why she abruptly did something like that.

Ma Yue also felt very regretful, but the matter had already been done, and there was no way to change it. She just didn't expect Luo Ming to be so ungentlemanly. Luo Ming had gossiped about her and spread what she did to other students. Because of this, her friends ostracized her. She felt a little frustrated.

She tried to talk to Luo Ming to explain, but Luo Ming thought that she was simply looking for an excuse.

During the debate match, one of the speakers from the opponent's team was her friend, who needed to get good results in the debate competition more than she did. She thought that if they lost, she could rely on her family's connections to help her. That was why she did it. In fact, in order to keep the others from thinking that it was a deliberate move, she acted as if she was too nervous. However, she was also aware that it would be a little unfair, and most people would not believe it.

She was too stiff. She was a little embarrassed, but she still did it, for the sake of her future. People still had to think for themselves. Besides, her other grades were not too good. She calculated her total score and realized that it would still be difficult for her to enter a university in the capital.

If she had the help of her friend, she would definitely be able to enter a better university. But with what happened, she felt uncomfortable that everyone had isolated her. In the past, she was the one who ostracized others. She didn't think it would happen to her.

She was soon unable to focus on her studies. She knew that she would be greatly disturbed if it continued. She didn't want to be affected by how others treated her. She had to focus on her studies.

Luo Ming briefly explained to Shuishui the things that needed to be done during the assessment. Shuishui also expressed that she understood. "Sure, but with just the two of us, it might be more difficult. Come on. This opportunity was given to you. I will do my best to help you," Shuishui said.

"No. I wouldn't dare to do this without you. To be honest, your spoken English is much better than ours. Previously, I always relied on you. I am very clear that this time, if we want to pass the exam, we still have to rely on you. Let's work hard together." Luo Ming was counting on Shuishui. He heard that the exam was very difficult. Basically, not many people could pass the exam.

Luo Ming believed that if it wasn't for Ma Yue, they might have already made it into the top four.

Shuishui nodded. "We have a good chance, but we have to work hard. If there's anything you need, just contact me directly. I will adjust my schedule and try to accommodate all our practice matches."

"En en, that's good. I have your number too. I'll contact you directly whenever we need to meet." Luo Ming felt that the matter had been settled and returned to class. Although it was the end of the semester and everyone was busy, Shuishui seemed to be more relaxed. She wasn't as anxious as the others were.

Mu Zilin sat behind Shuishui with a bitter expression. "I realized that this semester, you were very relaxed. How exactly did you study?"

Mu Qing felt the same. "You're in a relationship. How did you manage to study hard?''

They had already figured out that Shuishui was in a relationship.

Mu Zilin also knew. It seemed to be his older brother. He wasn't too sure because they had never been intimate. Every time they ate together, everything seemed normal, so he suspected that his older brother wasn't Shuishui's boyfriend. He wondered who it was. He had asked about it, but no one paid attention to him.

However, when he thought about how he was going to leave for Beijing immediately after the semester's final exams, he felt so sad.

Everyone was busy preparing for the finals. It was hectic. The teachers reviewed their lessons in the past semester.

Mu Qing frowned. "It's so annoying. I feel like I'm going home. We are all very busy reviewing for the finals."

Shuishui took out her notebook. "This is my notebook. I wrote down the highlights and main points of all our lessons. You can take a look and see if it can help you."

"That's great," Mu Zilin said as he grabbed the notebook before Mu Qing could get a hold of it.

Mu Qing's face turned red with anger. "What are you doing? I asked for it first."

"What do you mean you asked for it first? I got it first," Mu Zilin refuted. Then, he looked at his own notebook.

Shuishui shrugged. "It's fine. I can look at it later. I'll study on my own first."

Time passed very quickly. It was almost the end of the semester, and she could not help but think that she had been together with Mu Ziyu for quite some time already. Their relationship was plain and they had been indifferent, and they had never quarreled before. Mu Ziyu was considerate towards her, but she just realized that Mu Ziyu was actually a little capricious. However, she did not mind. It was best if there was at least a little friction between couples.

On the other hand, Mu Ziyu was very annoyed because the semester was about to end, and he and Shuishui had not spent much time together.

Shuishui was busy at school, preparing for the final exams.

Class 11 was slightly behind the other classes because they did not participate in remedial classes. However, in the midterm and monthly exams that followed, Shuishui steadily grabbed the top spot and was ranked first. The teacher did not ask Shuishui to attend the remedial classes. They already knew her capabilities as a student. They knew it would not affect her too much.

After the midterms, she basically did not see her father for a month. He became very busy and stayed at the office every day. Shuishui did not know that her second uncle had already started working in the company. After that, there were more things to do. Qian An did not think much about the people around him. After all, there were also benefits to having them in the company. Besides, they were his wife's brothers, and he opted to give them the benefit of the doubt.
