Chapter 53: Hope Carries
Water with One Hand
Noah took the test paper without much thought. How difficult could a high school student’s test be?
He didn’t even glance at the paper, responding calmly, “Of course!”
Hope raised an eyebrow and gestured for him to proceed.
Noah sat down at the table in front of the convenience store and opened the test
paper.
When he saw the first question, he froze.
He couldn’t understand it at all!

With a serious face, he said, “You’ve already done this test.”
“I’ve only done three questions. You can start from the rest. You’re not going to say you refuse because I’ve already done it, right?”
“If that’s the case, I can ask the director to print a new one for you.”
Hope blocked all his excuses, leaving Noah with no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it!”
【What does Hope mean? Is she questioning Noah’s academic qualifications? She’s just a film academy student, what right does she have to question Noah, a graduate of a prestigious university in the M Country?】
【Hope does have the right! She scored 1540 points!)

[1540 points? What does that mean? As long as you have hands, you can do it, right?)
【Hope is always trying to find fault with Noah!)
Noah started from the fourth question. After five minutes, he skipped the fourth and moved to the fifth. Another five minutes later, he was about to grind his teeth in frustration!
Is this really a high school student’s test? Why is it so difficult?
Hope must have planned this, deliberately giving him such a difficult test to make him embarrass himself on camera!
Hope, feeling bored, yawned and asked, “What’s the matter? Haven’t solved a single

question yet?”
【Oh my god, is Hope sick? Does she think solving questions doesn’t require thinking? She’s just staring and keeps asking! Is she annoying or what?!)
【As a bystander, it’s obvious Noah can’t solve the questions!)
【Not being able to solve it is normal! Hope just happened to have done this test last year! Our idol Noah has never seen this before!)
【Fun fact: when Hope took the test last year, it was the first time she encountered these questions, and she solved them!)
【But Hope was still a high school student back then. How long has it been since Noah

graduated? It’s normal for him to forget how to do it!)
【If he can’t solve it, then stop trying to act like a tutor, you’re misleading students!)
【Fans are the ones insisting on Noah being the tutor, okay? If they’re happy, what’s it to you?
The live stream chat became a mess, with everyone realizing Noah couldn’t solve the questions, except the fans who were desperately defending him.
Noah suddenly put down his pen, showing no signs of embarrassment or panic about not solving the questions.
He sternly retorted, “Why do I have to do this test?”

“You don’t have to do it! You don’t have to, Emperor Brother!”
Scarlett quickly waved her hand, explaining in fear that her idol might not want to tutor her if he had to solve the questions.
Hope said nothing. After all, the viewers weren’t foolish. They could see for themselves whether Noah could solve the questions.
“I believe a tutor should not only be capable, but also be able to make the students like them and want to learn from them.”
Noah tried to salvage his dignity.
Scarlett nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, I love learning from Emperor Brother!”
She then arrogantly said to Hope, “Hope,

just give up. I’ll never let you be my tutor. If Grandma insists on you, then I’ll just pretend to sleep and skip studying!”
Grandma, standing by, was furious, but since she was Scarlett’s real grandmother, no matter how much she liked Hope, she couldn’t let her grandchild’s studies be affected.
Hope casually replied, “I don’t want to be a tutor to a student who doesn’t like me.”
If it weren’t for the director urging her to create some drama on camera, she wouldn’t have come at all.
But…
Noah couldn’t even handle such simple questions–was he really suitable to be Scarlett’s tutor?

Hope, aiming to provoke Noah whenever possible, spoke again: “It’s important that students want to learn from their teacher, but the teacher’s skills are just as important.”
Noah’s gaze darkened, and he angrily said, “You should mind your own business! If you can’t find a job, you’ll be kicked out of your apartment tonight!”
“Who says I can’t find one?”
In fact, everything was unfolding similarly to the previous life.
In her previous life, Noah and his sister had been humiliated by Jimmy at the
convenience store, and Scarlett, seeing this, had hired them as tutors.
But this time, Hope herself brought up

tutoring in front of the camera, setting the stage for this event and planting a bomb for the viewers–Noah wasn’t qualified to be a tutor!
When it was later exposed that Noah used a cue card to teach during the live stream, his actions of trying to fight Hope for a job would be ridiculed by millions, unlike before when it was just brushed aside!
Besides tutoring, Hope also remembered that after Noah was exposed for using the cue card, he had to return to the convenience store to work part–time with Sylvia.
When Noah delivered water to a household, there was a part–time job Hope could take
on!
To get that job, Hope needed a legitimate reason to enter that household!

So she turned to Jimmy and said, “Boss, I want to do the water delivery job.”
“You’re crazy! With one hand injured, how can you deliver water?”
Noah was shocked, thinking that Hope was deliberately challenging him. He assumed that since he took her job, she was now trying to take his!
No matter how strong Hope was, how could she carry water and deliver rice with just one hand?
Hope coldly retorted, “You should mind your own business!”
“Brother, let’s go.” Sylvia had been bitten by mosquitoes for a while and now just wanted to get to Scarlett’s house.

Knowing how Scarlett would treat Noah and his sister, she figured Scarlett would offer them a lot of food and drinks to entertain them!
Plus, there would definitely be air conditioning inside!
She was about to die from the heat!
Scarlett hurried ahead, chatting and laughing as she led Noah and his sister home, completely forgetting about her grandmother.
Grandma sighed and slowly followed with her cane.
In her heart, she decided that if Noah didn’t teach well, she would kick him out immediately!

Also, the plums in the yard, she wanted to give Hope some to eat–especially the plums from the yard!
On the other side, Jimmy took another look at Hope. Seeing how beautiful she was, his tone softened a bit.
“Our houses in the village don’t have stairs. You’d have to carry the water up. With your small arms and legs, you can’t handle such heavy work.”
Thinking of his warehouse, he tempted her, “You might as well help me sort out the warehouse. If you do well, I’ll even give you a meal!”
“I just want to deliver the water.”
Jimmy feared she might refuse, so he

reluctantly agreed. After all, once she’s had enough trouble, she’d come crawling back to him.
