Everyone is struggling... and we can't understand each other's feelings exactly, but we may empathize with them. "I haven't done the math homework!!" and that's my struggle right now. 

If we depend on others, we think it reduces our burdens, but no. It just kept adding burdens to others. "You can look at mine" Zhengsheng lent his book to me; I wondered, what if I looked like I was using people who are good to me for my own good, while I can't mostly help back to them. Time by time, I tend to avoid seeking help from others just like most people do...

The class is quieter than usual, a breeze of calm air flies toward my face passing through the window. Suddenly, the soft sunlight faded; Liqin closed the window, "Guys, the teacher said we need to study by ourselves for this period" she said.

The final exam is getting close, and I haven't studied a bit. Zi Ming looks worried today, probably he hasn't also practiced lessons much... "Can we study together after the class, please?" he asked. Everyone was speechless but agreed...

***************************************************************************

We all decided to meet at Zhengsheng's house, and wonderfully we all focused on our lessons (Probably because I didn't buy any snacks as usual)

Zhengsheng: This one, so this is calculated..just..like...this. You see? Easy, right??

Zi Ming: Woww, thank you very much!

Liqin: Ye Huan, that's not done like that. It's like this.

Ye Huan: Ahh I see, thanks. (Yes, he showed up)

Me: Don't forget to add question numbers in the exam paper everyone!

Jingfei: Thanks for reminding me, I always forgot! xD

Yongrui: Liqin, hey! Use ruler!

Liqin: I don't have.

Zhengsheng: Take this. Qingling, are you alright?

Me: Yep, I'm checking the answers of Jingfei. The last one...Yeah..correct!

Although Zhengsheng's little brother kept playing behind us, and even his mom cooked a delicious meal; In the end, we all got enough motivation to study after the whole year.

"Ling Ling!! I made some moon cakes for you all" My mom brings food for us, but foodies turn into Nerdies. Yes, she struggles to carry many boxes of food for all of us, but struggles are not as powerful as love, which we choose to care for our loved ones.

"Mhmm! It's soo yummy!! Thank you, Aunty!" Liqin thanked my mom, and everyone gazed at her hungrily when she was eating the moon cakes. "Enough, pretending. Imma eat ahead now!" "Me too!" "Xiao Mei Mei, I will eat too!" "Soo good!!"

I arrived back at my home at 9:00 pm since our houses are near, Ning Ning was also strangely studying. Of course, who wouldn't? The exam is coming next month... Time goes too fast...  It would be very great if we could go on a school trip :)
