Lilly lowered her head and ate quickly while thinking about the elevator. Bettany felt worried and said, “Lilly, we don’t have to work so hard.” “No, I have to work hard!” Lilly replied while eating. “Granny, I’ll go to school later.” Bettany was confused for a few seconds. Oh, I almost forgot Lilly had to go to school today.
“It’s okay if you don’t.” Bettany paused for a moment before responding, “Going to school is to gain knowledge and cultivate their qualities, but you are different.” Bettany considered Lilly a quick thinker and an outstanding girl. Lilly could remember every lesson Drake had taught her, and she aced the test at home. “We have to be humble in our learning,” Lilly replied, shaking her head. Bettany was relieved, but she was speechless after hearing Lilly’s words. “Granny, our main goal is to participate!” said Lilly.
Lilly studied the elevator again after eating; she estimated that the studies would take roughly a month and that they were only getting started. After looking for two days, she was fatigued, so she went to school early Monday morning with her siblings to ease her thoughts. Zachary did not return until Monday morning. He seemed exhausted and walked upstairs without saying anything. “Zac, do you want to have breakfast? Are you still attending school?” Bettany asked. Zachary shook his head, stating that he was too tired to go. He still had the strength to attend school, but he didn’t want to. Suddenly, he sensed that something was off.
The maid was cleaning Lilly’s room. Zachary took a step back and looked inside Lilly’s room. He noticed a mirror on her table, which he hadn’t seen. The maid was about to wipe the mirror clean. Zachary quickly stopped her and said, “Don’t move.” The maid stopped and looked confused. “Lilly is back?” questioned Zachary. “Little Miss has been back for two days and just went to school this morning,” the maid said. Zachary suddenly became excited. I am going to school!
Zachary said, “You won’t have to clean Lilly’s room again. We’ll clean things up for her.” After hearing what Zachary had to say, the maid set the mirror aside, nodded, and said, “Okay.” Little Miss had been in the room for two days. She went to school today, and the maid came into the room to clean according to the rules and habits. The maid locked the door and walked away silently. They had no right to ask questions.
Bettany was about to go to the supermarket with Margaret, but she noticed Zachary coming downstairs with his schoolbag on his back. Bettany asked, “Hmm?” Didn’t you say you weren’t going to school?” Zachary stated, “I changed my mind.” Bettany was stunned, knowing that he was going to find Lilly. She noticed him looking exhausted and purposefully didn’t inform him that Lilly had returned, but in the end, he still wanted to go.
Bettany dropped Zachary off at school before heading to the supermarket. When Zachary entered the classroom, a few naughty students looked surprised and said, “Hey, Zachary is here! It’s unusual to see you here.” Zachary responded coldly, “Don’t mess with me.” “What could you do to me?” replied the naughty student. Zachary simply moved his finger, and an invisible bad aura flew out.
“Tell you not to mess with him; I’ll show you how to be quiet!” a female ghost stated as she clutched the naughty student’s mouth. He was horrified to discover that he couldn’t even open his mouth to speak! When the teacher entered the classroom, everyone became silent. Zachary was thinking of ways to reach Lilly after class. It had been two years. He hadn’t seen Lilly in over two years.
Zachary was in fifth grade two years ago and is currently in his first year of junior high. Lilly was in the third grade, Hannah in the fourth, Josh in the sixth, and his elder brother in the second year of junior high. Even though the school was divided into junior high and primary schools, fortunately, it was just across the street. Zachary will have to climb over the wall because the guard will not allow anyone to enter the school.
…
Josh and Zachary were in the same situation. Everyone had grown significantly taller by sixth grade, but he was still the shortest. When he walked into the classroom in the morning, several boys would laugh at him and say, “Hey, Josh is here for class; what a rare guest!” “Hey, short guy, is that your sister who just walked with you?” Josh stood there, moved his finger, and an invisible, silent talisman flew out, sealing the boy’s mouth.
Cheryl sat beside one of the boys and whispered to him, “Let’s stop talking; the teacher will be here soon.” The boy’s eyes widened as he tried and failed to open his mouth. He was terrified. But from everyone’s perspective, he remained silent after hearing what Cheryl said. Someone laughed again: “Hey, why is Thiago so obedient today? Sure enough, he listens to Cheryl!”
