Jian Ai turned to look at Guan Tao and stared at her. Guan Tao’s face instantly turned red.
Jian Ai frowned and whispered, “Tao Zi, what’s with you? Don’t tell me you like Gao Yang?”
“I… I don’t!” Guan Tao denied with a red face, and she scolded herself for being nosy in her heart.
“You’re still denying it! You have that expression on your face!” Jian Ai glared at her.
“I really… don’t…” Guan Tao buried her face in her chest. Her voice was getting softer, and she didn’t have any confidence.
When Jian Ai saw this, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes and sigh. “Young lady, it’s understandable that your adolescent hormones are excessively secreted, but you can’t secrete them blindly. Gao Yang is expressionless all day long and looks like he has a pure heart and few desires. I think he looks like a Shaolin disciple. Besides, you’ve only known him for a few days. Did you hear too many rumors in school that you even started to believe them? Did you treat a handkerchief as a love token?”
“Xiao Ai, don’t be angry. I…” Guan Tao paused and looked wronged. “I just think he’s special. I’m not that into him. I am not. I swear!”
Jian Ai let out another long sigh when she heard this. Compared to boys of his age, Gao Yang was indeed more mature. Because of his scholarly and rich family background, Gao Yang was superior in all aspects. Even in a noble school like Erzhong, he was like a crane standing among chickens.
Jian Ai didn’t hate Gao Yang but rather admired him. However, she couldn’t bear to let Guan Tao be hurt.
“I’m not opposed to who you like. You can like anyone, but only if you’re ready, understand?” Jian Ai finally softened.
She was not Guan Tao, so she could not decide for Guan Tao. Even liking someone was uncontrollable. Just like in her previous life, she also had a crush on Lin Yi for three years. She understood this feeling too well.
Guan Tao looked at the worry in Jian Ai’s eyes and felt moved. In the end, she nodded hard. “Xiao Ai, don’t worry. I won’t be silly.”
…
As soon as they reached the school, the rankings of all grades were already filled with people. As soon as Jian Ai and Guan Tao approached, Xia Qinghuan grabbed them.
“You two are finally here!” Xia Qinghuan was excited. Without waiting for their response, she pulled them in.
When the others saw Jian Ai, they had mixed emotions in their eyes. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were disdainful.
They squeezed to the front. Jian Ai looked up, wanting to find her name, but she didn’t expect to see it immediately.
First place: Jian Ai
Huh?
Jian Ai was stunned and didn’t react for a moment. Although she had learned them in her previous life, Jian Ai was still a little confused when she saw that she was in the first place.
“Xiao Ai, you’re first!” Guan Tao was more excited than Jian Ai. She immediately grabbed Jian Ai’s hand and jumped up and down.
Looking down further, Lin Yi was in third place, Xia Qinghuan was in fourth, Gao Yang was in fifth, and Guan Tao was in sixth. They were miraculously ranked one after another.
“I knew it. We can all get into the same class.” Xia Qinghuan was also very happy. She looked at the two of them and smiled.
Jian Ai’s gaze landed on the name in second place.
Jian Yiyi.
Jian was not a common surname, so when she saw a name with the same surname as hers, Jian Ai could not help but take a closer look.
“Jian Ai, that second place is a transferee from another school. She has the same surname as you. You’re quite fated.” Xia Qinghuan also noticed Jian Yiyi.
