Chapter 198: A Chance Meeting
Ye Xue did not have any hopes of getting the guaranteed spot. However, she was really grateful to Qin Shu for helping her more than once.
The teacher took out a piece of chalk and wrote down the names on the blackboard. If someone was voted for, their names would be written down.
Jiang Yu glanced at Ye Xue. After thinking for a while, he stood up. His voice was very calm, but there was a hint of seriousness in it. “I voted for Ye Xue. She is very serious about her studies.”
The teacher was stunned for a few seconds when Jiang Yu said that. Se seemed to be in disbelief. However, she still added a line under Ye Xue’s name.
The students looked at Jiang Yu in surprise. They had not expected Jiang Yu to vote for that country bumpkin, Ye Xue, who had a crush on him.
When Ye Xue heard Jiang Yu’s voice, her brain felt like the strings of a violin. It was so tense that she did not even dare to raise her head. It was as if she was afraid that she had misheard.
After Jiang Yu sat down, he turned his head to look at Fu Tingyan, who was still sleeping on his stomach. He reached out to pat him on the shoulder and leaned over. “Get up and vote.”
Fu Tingyan lifted his eyelids and saw Jiang Yu’s annoying face. He had been woken up by Jiang Yu, so his voice was a little hoarse. “Why are you meddling in other people’s business?”
Jiang Yu replied impatiently, “I’m just like you. I’m bored.”
“…” Fu Tingyan asked, “Who did you vote for?”
Jiang Yu said, “Ye Xue.”
Fu Tingyan stood up and looked at the blackboard. He slowly stood up and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m voting for Ye Xue.”
The homeroom teacher was stunned again. Why were both of them voting for Ye Xue?
It was no wonder that the students were shocked once again. It would be strange if they were not surprised that the two most disliked girls in the class were being treated specially by the two campus beaus.
Fu Tingyan slowly sat down. He didn’t plan to sleep anymore. He turned his head to look at Ye Xue.
Qin Shu happened to turn her head to look over. She was curious why Jiang Yu and Fu Tingyan would vote as well.
When their gazes met, Fu Tingyan subconsciously looked away.
Following that, many students also voted for Ye Xue when they saw that the two campus beaus had both voted for ye Xue.
Ye Xue, who originally had the lowest number of votes, quickly moved ahead in the voting.
After the voting ended, Ye Xue surpassed the person in second place by one vote and became the one with the highest number of votes.
The result was somewhat unexpected, and Ye Xue was also shocked. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes. With the guaranteed spot, she would be guaranteed a place in Imperial College.
The teacher looked at the results on the blackboard and frowned. She seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the result.
However, she could only announce the results in front of the other students.
“The spot has been given to Ye Xue. Even though you are guaranteed a place in Imperial College, you must work hard and not tarnish the reputation of the school.”
“I will.”
Ye Xue was extremely excited and did not care about the displeasure in the teacher’s tone.
During lunch, Ye Xue almost ate an extra bowl of rice out of excitement. Fortunately, she managed to reign herself in.
Qin Shu came out of the cafeteria after lunch. Because the weather was too hot, she chose a different path. On both sides of the road, were scenic trees with luxuriant foliage, just enough to shield her from the scorching sun above her head.
On the other side of the road, there were wooden benches every ten meters.
Qin Shu walked at a slow speed as usual.
When she walked past a bend in the road, she saw a man sitting on the bench. It was the man with purple eyes.
She stopped in her tracks.
The man’s slender figure leaned against the chair. His brows were slightly furrowed. His already pale face had turned even more pale and colorless. His thin lips were tightly pursed and it looked as if he was feeling a little unwell.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she walked over and stopped in front of the man. She saw that his fair and plump forehead was covered in large beads of sweat.
She asked tentatively, “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call an ambulance?”
