Chapter 301: Misunderstanding
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, Ji Jing walked into the Ji family’s house with a heavy heart.
She would be thinking about the trending searches later. Could Ming Ze have already seen it? Would it bring him trouble? After a while, she thought about Zhang Mu’s matter. There was insufficient evidence. Where should she find evidence? Or should he really change his way of thinking like Sun Yu said?
She was thinking too deeply, so much so that when she returned to the Ji family, she almost bumped into Ji Ying.
“What are you thinking? Why are you so engrossed?” Ji Ying quickly dodged, but fortunately, he didn’t bump into her.
“I was thinking…” Ji Jing looked up and saw Ji Ying. She immediately remembered the good thing that happened to her in school this morning. Her expression changed and she smiled coldly.” Of course I’m thinking about your great help! ”
Ji Jing felt angry just thinking about it. Just because of a random thought, Ji Ying wanted to harm her like this?
“Ah?” Ji Ying was a little confused and surprised.” Did I help you?”
His heart couldn’t help but flutter for a moment. Could he have done something unintentionally? Was Ji Jing here to thank him?
“Of course. Didn’t you say that you helped me avoid many trivial matters in school? Thank you so much.” Ji Jing gritted her teeth and laughed.
“No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Haha.” Ji Ying didn’t notice Ji Jing’s sarcastic tone, but before he could feel smug, he heard Ji Jing add the second half of her sentence.
“Thank you for making me half an hour late for the mid-term exam.” Ji Jing sneered.” Thank you for almost getting me a zero for the first time in my life.
I’m really grateful to you!”
This was a good thing! She remembered that she had a flash of ” so Ji Ying could do such a rare good thing ” and felt that she was too stupid. How could she believe his words?
Ji Jing thought to herself that she was too soft-hearted, which was why she was deceived!
In the future, she would not believe a single word this guy said!
“I… Midterm exams?” Ji Ying was stunned. He only reacted when he heard Ji Jing’s angry tone and familiar sneer. Oh no, he seemed to have messed up again.
Ji Jing’s tone was as cold as the winter wind.” Yes, I almost got a zero. I almost became the best contrast to your dear Sister Yaoyao. Isn’t it a pity?” Your plan has failed.
Ji Jing couldn’t help but think to herself,” A soft-hearted person hurts people!”
Previously, when she heard Ji Ying trying to make peace and act pitiful, her heart softened. Who would have thought that this was a trap? Ji Jing glared at Ji Ying and turned to leave.
“No, no! Let me explain!” Ji Ying quickly explained,” I wasn’t targeting you at all. Many people from the school have been contacting you these past few days. There are competitions, clubs, and even some activities for you to shoot promotional videos. I thought you wouldn’t be interested in these things, so I told the butler to reject them. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a mid-term exam ! ”
“You don’t know? You must have memorized the rules of the scholarship long ago!” Ji Jing couldn’t help but mock him.
“What scholarship…” Ji Ying was confused.” In high school, my dad had to find ten tutors to let me pass. How would I know that the scholarship is a rule…’
Ji Jing almost tripped over the threshold when she heard this. She looked at Ji
Ying with a complicated expression.” Ten tutors?!”
Was this a story? Which high school needed ten tutors to pass the exam…For top students, the world of slackers was always difficult to understand.
“I’m not lying to you. You’ll know if you ask anyone else…” Ji Ying scratched his head awkwardly.” I’m really not talented in my studies…” Although things were awkward, as long as Ji Jing trusted him, he could do it!
“Really?” Ji Jing looked at him suspiciously.
“If I lie, I’ll be struck by lightning!” Ji Ying saw an opportunity and immediately raised three fingers to swear to the heavens.
Ji Jing immediately raised her eyebrows. Swearing had a certain effect. If Ji Ying really lied, although the Heavenly Dao would not directly strike lightning, there would be other small feedback.
She looked at the cloudless sky outside.
‘ Alright.” Ji Jing nodded perfunctorily.” I’ll trust you again.” However, don’t interfere in my matters in the future. We have nothing to do with each other in the first place. It’s best if we remain strangers in the future.”
“A stranger? Why?” Ji Ying was stunned.. Why did it feel like not only did he fail to build a relationship with Ji Jing, he even pushed her further away?
