An Jiaxin had been calling Ye Jian several times behind her, but Ye Jian did not give a response. She couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
When An Jiaxin was about to catch up with her, Ye Jian sensed someone was approaching her and turned around. Having noticed the concern on An Jiaxin’s face, she asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem well.”
“Nothing. I’m just mad that you ignored me. I’ve been yelling your name three or four times.” said An Jiaxin, smiling. To her relief, Ye Jian was also smiling brightly. Nothing strange seemed to have happened.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you because I was studying.” Ye Jian waved her textbooks as she saw the look on An Jiaxin’s face. Smiling, she continued, “It’s midterms after the Labor Day Holiday. I’d better hurry up and prepare for the exams.”
Because she had no time to study for the tests at nights or on weekends, she had to make the most of her available time to review everything on her textbooks of this semester.
That’s right. Ye Jian was reviewing every textbook of this semester, not just the knowledge that had been taught.
Worry-free, An Jiaxin smiled and said, “I need to study for midterms as well. How about we finish ten exam questions in the classroom after the evening study session before heading back to our dorm?” She lifted the exam paper in her hands and looked at Ye Jian imploringly. “Please do me a favor and acpany me until I finish this volume of the exam paper. My mom bought it!”
“Is that what you were worried about just now?” Ye Jian took the two sets of the exam paper from her and browsed through them. Smiling, she looked at An Jiaxin and said, “The questions are quite easy. Do you need to feel anxious?”
“Listen Yingying, some people are overestimating themselves.” Xie Sifeng’s cold voice was heard from behind. She said scornfully, “And they think they are really excellent.”
An Jiaxin paused her steps. Grabbing Ye Jian’s sleeves, she whispered, “She has been away from school for two weeks, but she has no worries that she might fall behind. She is the one who is presumptuous.” She was referring to Ye Ying.
“As far as I know, she was definitely not resting during these two weeks.” Ye Jian smiled calmly without looking back. “Every day, Mrs. Ke and the math teacher of the Ninth Grade went out of school at lunch break. Where did you think they went?”
An Jiaxin tilted her head and thought. An idea dawned on her. She yelled in surprise, “They did not!”
“Yes, they did! So, you need to work hard, An Jiaxin,” said Ye Jian, smiling. She ignored the glares shooting from behind her. Ye Ying had always been clever. Why would she give up her last privilege at school?
Ye Ying stopped looking at Ye Jian. She pursed her lips and raised her chin slightly. She said to Xie Sifeng, “Why do you care about her? Don’t you know what kind of fate is awaiting the conceited?”
Ye Jian wondered the same. What would happen to the arrogant Ye Ying?
As she arrived at the door to her classroom, with a cold and scornful smile on her face, Ye Jian turned back to look askance at Ye Ying.
Ye Ying, I will crush your pride with my own hands!
The two of them made eye contact with each other. They were like cats and dogs that couldn’t get along.
Ye Ying didn’t have the courage to return to school until she was left alone for half a month. She gritted her teeth, subduing her fury.
After a series of setbacks, Ye Ying had finally realized that Ye Jian was not obedient anymore.
“If you score higher than I do in the exams, I will kick you out of my house.” Ye Ying used to threaten Ye Jian in this way. From now on, her threat had bee null.
To maintain her former academic performance, which she had attained with the help of others, Ye Ying must work harder! She would achieve good scores on her own, using her actual talent!
