In the dormitory, Ye Jian had no idea that Mrs. Ke was trying to blemish her reputation. She said to An Jiaxin, “I’ve bought several sets of mock exams. Let’s practice together tomorrow. Next Thursday and Friday is the midterm exam, and the exams of Provincial No.1 Middle School will be held on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a bit tough to take exams for four days consecutively.”
She also sighed, which made An Jiaxin roll her eyes. “Come on, you are the one under the least pressure in our class! You even asked for leave! You have no idea how stern Mrs. Ke’s face was today! Every student had to tiptoe, for fear of upsetting her.”
“Ye Jian, none of us dared to approach her. We are looking forward to your comeback and you destroying Mrs. Ke’s straight face,” Zhang Na, who was in the same dorm, expressed her feelings.
“Are you sure I can do that?” Ye Jian raised her eyebrows. With a smile in her eyes, she looked at those girls who were nodding as approval. “I didn’t go to the classroom, precisely because I was afraid that you might get showered by the storm. That’s why I waited for you in the dorm.”
The students were somewhat aware that the teacher-student relationship between Ye Jian and Mrs. Ke was not harmonic. Thus, they giggled at Ye Jian’s words.
Sometimes, they really admired Ye Jian, for she was the only one who could withstand the look in Mrs. Ke’s eyes. If other students were glared by her in that way, they would have had cold feet or transferred to another class!
Ye Ying’s confident voice was heard from the outside. “Humph!” several girls in the dormitory said in unison and told Ye Jian, “Recently, Gao Yiyang came to our classroom from time to time. With the excuse of homework guidance, they sat together blatantly. However, Mrs. Ke told us that we should learn from them.”
“There’s nothing we can do. Both of them usually rank in the top five in the exams of the eighth grade,” disgruntled, Zhang Na issued two humphs. As she looked outside, she rolled her eyes. “They are obviously dating!”
The private thoughts of the teenage girls were so obvious. Ye Jian pursed her lips, smiling in a discreetly.
It was time for dinner at school. Students were to have dinner together. As they arrived at the cafeteria, An Jiaxin poked Ye Jian’s arm gently using her fingers. “See that? See that? They are smiling so brightly! I also suspect that they are in love.”
Smiling gently, Ye Ying was walking into the cafeteria from the entrance with the tall and strong Gao Yiyang, who had a cold look on his face. Instantly, numerous eyes that contained all kinds of implications looked at them.
But they didn’t mind the gazes at all. Smiling and laughing, they walked over to the queue which Ye Jian was in.
It was inevitable for them to encounter one another.
As soon as Gao Yiyang saw Ye Jian, he remembered her kicking him and his bike. A trace of awkwardness appeared on his cold face. He said to Ye Ying beside him, “Let’s go to that line which has fewer people.”
Ye Ying, who had always been observant, glanced at Gao Yiyang’s face, slightly tightening her pretty eyes.
Why do I have the feeling that he is hiding something between him and Ye Jian from me?
With a frank smile, she said, “It’s okay. Every queue is the same. Didn’t the dean of studies tell us to go to the teacher’s office as soon as we finish dinner? We’d better hurry up. Just stay in this line.”
When she finished her words, she pulled Gao Yiyang’s sleeves naturally and lined up behind Ye Jian.
It was at this moment that An Jiaxin realized why Ye Jian said Ye Ying was not a simple girl. If An Jiaxin became enemies with another person, she would have felt uncomfortable by standing at the same spot with that person.
Nevertheless, Ye Jian was not a simple girl either. From her face, she didn’t mind at all. All right… An Jiaxin shrugged. She was fine with it as well.
