Lilly entered the classroom and saw Cheryl. Her eyes lit up because she saw the malignant spirit on Cheryl’s shoulder.
The malignant spirit glared at Lilly when it sensed Lilly.
Pablo said, “She is here indeed. Tulip, show me your progress.”
Lilly clenched her fists and nodded.
A young female teacher walked in. She saw Josh and Lilly and asked with a smile, “You must be Lilly, right? Are you here to experience the life of a student with your brother?”
Lilly shook her head at first and nodded, “Yes!”
She could not tell the truth because she did not want to see the teacher run out of the toilet half-naked again.
The female teacher laughed at Lilly’s cute reaction. She asked, “Are you going to sit with your brother?”
Josh turned around. The teacher was wondering if she should move the person sitting beside Josh to another seat. However, Lilly pointed at the empty seat beside Cheryl and said, “Teacher, I want to sit beside Cheryl.”
The teacher said, “Oh, right. The student beside Cheryl is absent today.”
Pablo could not believe their luck.
Cheryl did not look happy because she did not want to sit beside Lilly. She still remembered how Lilly poured Waldorf salad on her during the camp. However, a female student sitting in front of Cheryl turned around and said, “Wow, Cheryl! Besides the Shaw family, you are close to the Crawford family as well?”
Otherwise, there was no other reason for Cheryl to sit beside her.
Cheryl no longer felt unhappy. Her vanity had been satisfied. She smiled and said, “Not really, I just went to a camp with Lilly previously.”
“Lilly, come here,” Cheryl pointed to the chair beside her.
Lilly ran over to Cheryl’s side while carrying her schoolbag and sat down.
Before Cheryl could approach Lilly, she saw her getting a tortoise out of her bag and putting it on its back at the table. Then, Lilly took out a parrot and stuffed it inside the drawer. Polly ran and hid inside the drawer.
Everyone in the class was dumbfounded, and Josh covered his face in embarrassment.
“Lilly, this is…” asked the teacher.
Lilly said, “Don’t worry, Teacher. The tortoise doesn’t speak. Polly will be quiet as well. They will be lonely when I’m in the academy, so they want to follow me.”
The female teacher was baffled. She wondered how animals or even a child such as Tilly knew what loneliness was.
The teacher was surprised, “Lilly, you are so amazing!”
Lilly was confused and asked, “Teacher. If the worker can fix 64 meters in a day, why does he only fix 6 meters every day? Can’t he fix them all in one day?”
The teacher was baffled. She could not answer Lilly’s question. Then, the mathematics teacher came in and asked, “Does Lilly understand what the teacher is saying?”
Lilly nodded and said, “I do.” Lilly did not know why she was asked such a question.
The teacher introduced Lilly to the mathematics teacher who visited, “Lilly was amazing. She remembers everything that has been taught…” She would never admit that she was trying to ignore Lilly’s question. It was embarrassing that she could not answer a four-year-old’s question.
The mathematics teacher was interested and asked, “Is that so? Let me ask you a question then…”
“A child had 50 lollipops, 70 marshmallows, and 100 gummies in his pocket. After eating 50 lollipops, 60 marshmallows and 100 gummies, which candy does the child still have right now?”
Lilly shook her head, “The child will have diabetes.”
Grandpa told Lilly Granny had diabetes because she ate too many sweets.
Both the teachers were stunned before laughing out loud because there was nothing wrong with Lilly’s answer.
