Guan Tao knew she had offended no one, but she could not help but consider it.
In the end, she shook her head. “I didn’t. Besides, after I came back from the autumn trip, my relationship with our classmates became much better. I’ve never spoken to classmates from the other classes.”
At this moment, Jian Ai suddenly said, “I think it’s because of Gao Yang.”
“Gao Yang?”
Qinghuan and Guan Tao were shocked at the same time, especially Qinghuan. “You’re saying that Guan Tao and Gao Yang are too close and someone is jealous?”
No one was stupid. Now that Jian Ai mentioned Gao Yang, Xia Qinghuan immediately reacted. The person she was talking about was Yu Mengyao.
Hearing Qinghuan’s words, Guan Tao reacted. “I… I ate a skewer of prawns that Gao Yang roasted.”
Qinghuan looked at her. “You didn’t?just?eat a skewer. You were the?only one?who ate a skewer. He only roasted one skewer for you.”
As she spoke, Xia Qinghuan placed her hands on her waist and took a deep breath. “But we have no evidence.”
After all, no one saw what Yu Mengyao had done.
Jian Ai nodded gently. “I’m just guessing. I’m not that sure.”
She did not want to suspect her classmates, but this matter seemed a little dangerous. She was afraid that something would happen to Guan Tao again.
“Why don’t we tell Gao Yang about this? Let him ask Yu Mengyao. After all, Yu Mengyao is a little strange. She doesn’t have many friends in school and only listens to Gao Yang,” Xia Qinghuan said.
It was not good to question others for no reason or evidence, but Jian Ai was worried about Guan Tao’s safety, so she couldn’t care less. “Let Gao Yang ask first. If it’s not her, we’ll apologize to her.”
Xia Qinghuan nodded.
In the cafeteria at noon, everyone sat together and talked about this.
Jian Ai asked Gao Yang, “Gao Yang, you grew up with Yu Mengyao, so you should know her, right? Do you think it’s her?”
The others also looked up at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang’s expression was not good, but he did not answer Jian Ai’s question. He only said coldly, “I’ll find a time to ask her.”
Such a reaction made Jian Ai and the rest look at each other. Gao Yang looked… angry?
After lunch, Jian Ai returned to the classroom. She was still thinking about Guan Tao when a girl in the class walked up to her and said, “Jian Ai, Teacher Sun wants you to go to the office.”
“Now?” Jian Ai was stunned.
The girl nodded. “He wants you to go over now.”
Hearing this, Jian Ai could only stand up and leave the class to go to the office.
It was lunch break, and the office was quiet. Many teachers were taking an afternoon nap. When he saw Jian Ai, Sun Dasheng quickly raised his hand and called out to her in a low voice, “You don’t have to knock. Come in.”
Jian Ai walked into the office softly and sat down on the chair in front of Sun Dasheng. “Teacher, you were looking for me?”
Sun Dasheng immediately said, “It’s like this, Jian Ai. There’s an English speech competition in a few days. It’s a national competition. Our Baiyun City’s Education Bureau handed this mission to our school. I would like you to represent the school to participate in the competition in the capital.”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but look dejected.
Why was it another competition?
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to go?” Sun Dasheng looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Jian Ai pursed her lips and asked, “Will there be additional points for the college entrance examination?”
