《Jenlisa | Guide To Raising The Sick Villain》11
Advertisement
Mother Kim, though irritated and aggrieved internally, had wanted to step out of the kitchen door but then she heard Granny Kim’s complimenting Nayeon, and took it back.
After finally waiting for the Second Aunt Kim’s family to leave, Mother Kim finally walked out to clean up the table. She then saw Jennie who was sitting silently on one side, and a rush of anger filled her.
Thinking about it carefully, she and Old Lady Kim only quarreled because Jennie had an extra bite of rice. If Jennie’s grades were not so bad, she would not be looked down upon by Old Lady Kim in front of Second Aunt Kim.
She was in the same grade at the same school as Nayeon, yet the latter was able to be in the top ten in her class. Jennie was in the bottom ten in her class. She remembered that Old Lady Kim and Father Kim had asked Jennie not to go to school and instead go to the store to help.
She had stopped them.
Now, she was beginning to regret it.
After cursing herself for a long time, she ran into Jennie’s room and Jennie was reading a book.
“Only now do you know how to read. Why didn’t you do it earlier? Now you’re pretending to read? Why can’t you learn from Nayeon…”
Before she finished speaking, Old Lady Kim walked out from the side, “Women don’t need to study, nor can they study well. Nayeon is a good student because she has a mother who can teach her.”
Mother Kim was confused and almost fainted from anger.
Old Lady Kim hadn’t minced her words at all.
The reason why Old Lady Kim had always looked down upon her, was not only because she could not have a son but also for another reason.
Mother Kim is a migrant girl from the country. She has no education and no money at home. She met Father Kim father who was also poor and uneducated. The two finally met and got married. Old Lady Kim had never looked down upon Mother Kim.
But Aunt Kim is different.
Second Uncle Kim was the only one who was admitted to college in the Kim family. Second Aunt Kim’s parents were also city residents, so her family conditions were superior. Second Aunt Kim’s work was also much better than that of Kim’s mother, she was a teacher.
In the words of Old Lady Kim, Second Aunt Kim is a cadre.
Old Lady Kim had found the sore spot of Mother Kim, and she became even more proud as she talked about it, saying that Mother Kim was originally different from Second Aunt Kim, her brain was different, her education level was different, and her children were of course different. So Jennie was naturally not born a scholar. Jennie won’t be able to learn like Nayeon even if you hit her, so don’t scold your daughter, you could only blame yourself for being born inferior.

That night, Old Lady Kim, Mother Kim, and Father Kim continued to quarrel. After the quarrel, Old Lady Kim successfully separated the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law, and went to bed in a good mood.
She didn’t notice that Seungmin, her good grandson who was usually very active, was a bit too quiet today.
Jennie stuffed two balls of paper in her ears blocking the sound of the quarrel outside, and fell asleep in the midst of the loud shouts. She woke up the next day without thinking of staying at home for a second and went to school.
After arriving, she took her books and went outside to recite them as usual. She had made sure to change places so she wouldn’t run into Suho and his friends.
The exam will begin next Monday. Jennie had gone through most of the political history in the book pretty thoroughly. As for geography, senior year geography is natural geography. It is not too much about memorization, but more about understanding. She felt very good about these three subjects.
Her main concern is physics. Chemistry could be memorized, but physics could not. Recently, Jennie has spent 50 or 60% of her time reviewing physics. So now she believed she could successfully do most of the questions, but for some of the more difficult ones she didn’t think she could get full points.
She remembered that Suho’s best subjects were science based. She could almost get full marks in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, so she had to work harder.
After she finished her early self-study, Jennie carried a cup to the water room to fetch water.
Her lips are very dry, but she has no money to buy chapstick, so the best alternative for her was to drink more water. She didn’t mind it much since it wasn’t bad to drink more water. When she came out of the water room with a water bottle, she would see the wheelchair rolling ahead.
Jennie quickened her pace immediately, and caught up with Lisa within a few steps.
“Good morning,” Jennie greeted Lisa with a smile.
Lisa continued to roll his wheelchair for a while, before finally turning his head and glancing at Jennie, his lighter eyes looked fixedly at Jennie.
Just when Jennie thought that Lisa would be as silent as usual, Lisa’s indifferent but clear voice fell into Jennie’s ears.
“Good morning.”
Jennie was so startled that she almost dropped the water in her hand.
Jennie froze for a while and then chased him again, walking beside Lisa.

This was a good start.
Jennie walked quickly beside Lisa, “Have you had breakfast?”
Lisa had just responded to Jennie, but after hearing Jennie’s first sentence, he didn’t want to answer.
It was eight o’clock, so of course he had already eaten it. This question made Lisa feel at loss.
Jennie didn’t know that for people with Asperger’s Syndrome, they don’t understand jokes or small talk and anything that didn’t have to do with business matters would make them very confused. They didn’t understand why people wanted to talk about nonsensical things.
Lisa was silent. Jennie thought Lisa hadn’t heard her, so she asked again. Lisa’s eyes were stained with incomprehensibility and impatience, but in the end he pursed his lips and replied, “Ate.”
“The midterm exam will be coming next Monday. Are you going to take the exam this time?”
“No.”
“Why?” Jennie asked. Lisa would definitely be able to perfectly do all of the subjects.
It had been written in the book that Lisa’s IQ was far superior to normal people, and his memory is even more terrifying. He had been reading since he was a child. He is not the fool that his classmates think he is, he is a genius. Except for his Chinese not being very good, since he was taken by his mother to the United States for treatment since childhood, the other remaining subjects in high school was too simple for Lisa.
Lisa did not answer again.
Because of the communication with Jennie, Lisa, who was already eye-catching, became even more eye-catching today. Someone pointedly said that someone was talking to Lisa, and another person asked in a low voice who the girl was, and the person next to him shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
A girl from the same class happened to pass by and saw Jennie and Lisa talking and laughed.
“Jennie is really ill recently. Talking to Lisa every day, her brain must be broken.”
Lisa heard everything in his ears.
Lisa’s hand holding the wheelchair tightened again, his fingers trembling lightly, trying to stretch the distance between the wheelchair and Jennie a little bit.
But I heard Jennie’s still steady voice, “Lisa, what book did you read yesterday?”
Didn’t she hear the two girls talking so loudly?
She must have heard it. Yet, why did she still talk to him even though she heard it? They all said that she was sick in the head when they saw her talking to him, yet how could she still maintain such a normal tone?
Lisa couldn’t help but want to question her, but in the end he didn’t. He lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes, and whispered, “Wuthering Heights.”
“Ah, I’ve seen it too, but I was looking at a translation. Thus, to me, the original English book is still a bit unreadable. By the way, Lisa, did you eat the candy that I gave you yesterday?”
Lisa was about to say something, but a black shadow rushed over, and he looked up at the 1.9-meter tall man. The boy stood in front of Jennie and blocked her before calling Jennie’s name rudely.
Sehun waited for a day but didn’t get Jennie’s candy.
A bunch of them were betting on how Jennie would apologize to him. He was also waiting, but he waited and waited, but she didn’t do anything.
Sehun couldn’t hold onto his face anymore, since just now a bunch of people were talking about it again, so Sehun couldn’t help but directly question Jennie.
“Where’s the candy?” Jennie really felt inexplicable. The good temper she had with Lisa was gone, and her irritation rose sharply, “What candy?”
“Stop pretending to be confused, the candy you bought me.”
Lisa, who was sitting in the wheelchair, suddenly slapped his hand against the pocket of his school uniform when he heard this.
There is a piece of candy in the pocket of his school uniform.
Jennie gave it to him yesterday.
Suddenly he felt a little funny.
It turns out that Jennie didn’t just give him candy.
Lisa rolled his wheelchair to his seat silently.
But behind him, I heard a familiar voice say, “Me? Buy you candy? Sehun, jumping to conclusions is a disease I suggest you go get it treated.”
Even Lisa, who was emotionally slow, could hear it. The mockery in her tone and the sentence itself.
Lisa still didn’t have any expression on his face, but he touched the candy in his pocket again.
He never eats candy, but at this moment, he really wanted to taste the taste of candy.

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

8 205Unending War
In a secluded forest, Avalel, twelve years of age, was completely oblivious to the torment of the war. His backward village was a hidden safe haven, self sufficient on its own limited resources. Although there were occasionally contact from the "Outside", as they called it, the village remained its own world, isolated and in peace. Until he stumbled upon a girl, broken by the war, hardened by its cruelty. Four years later, the Outside comes to him. Witnessing the horrors around him, his fantasies shattered by the abhorrent ruthlessness of this orderless world, he only has a single goal: to protect the ones he considers his closest in the war. A mysterious sword accompanies him, a relic of the past strangely interested in his development. A kind friend supports him, looking out for each other. A leader pursues him, obsessed with his identity. A journey of life, of death; of friendship, of enmity; of courage, of cowardice; of loyalty, of betrayal; of power, of corruption in this eternal, unending war.
