Early morning.

One second, Candy was still having a beautiful dream; the next, she woke up.

Looking at Zero, who was right in front of her, Candy pursed her lips and said, "What?"

"I came to wake you up. It's time."

Candy habitually raised her hand to check her watch. Sure enough, it was exactly the right time.

She didn't know why, but ever since starting elementary school, she had been getting sleepier every morning and increasingly unwilling to get out of bed, as if a pair of hands were pulling her back down and stopping her from getting up.

Unfortunately, she couldn't stay in bed! The consequences of being late were serious.

After breakfast, Mo Jingchun pulled out a napkin and wiped his mouth before taking a ten-yuan bill he had borrowed from Zhou Yaling out of his pocket.

Under the gazes of Mo Jingchun and the other two, Candy placed the money in the bottom compartment of her pencil case.

"Don't let your classmates see it if you can help it.
