Lin Nianhe has always been self-aware and avoids doing things beyond her capabilities.
For example, she can't fight with Wen Lan, Xiao Lan, or Sister Lan.
Her 500-word composition quoted half from Mr. Liang's "Youth China" and the rest was just to stitch those quotes together... and submit this?
She fears the newspaper editor would come from miles away to kill her.
Perhaps she refused too quickly and too firmly, leaving Zhou Chujiang bewildered.
He rubbed his ears, looking uncertainly at Lin Nianhe, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch what you just said."
Lin Nianhe kindly repeated: "No need, don't bother, no trouble, I won't submit it, thank you."
Zhou Chujiang looked around blankly.
He was the most talented Chinese language teacher at Lan County High School, often hoped by colleagues and students to mention them when submitting works... Now he offered the opportunity to Lin Nianhe, and she outright refused?
