The other’s gaze happened to fall on the box in Yan Sinian’s hands, asking if it was a gift for a family member.
Yan Sinian casually replied that it was for his sister.
The elder seemed taken aback upon hearing the answer, sighing as if something had touched his heart.
Afterwards, the two of them had no further conversation during the flight, with Yan Sinian simply closing his eyes to rest.
However, before the plane landed, it suddenly encountered some turbulence, becoming a bit bumpy.
Many people on the plane became restless, but Yan Sinian sensed that there wouldn’t be any accidents and just let it be.
Yet the elder’s reaction was quite strong, almost describable as panic-stricken.
As he grew restless, a jade pendant slipped out from his collar; Yan Sinian glanced at it casually and didn’t pay much attention.
But now, seeing the jade Yue Qingqing was wearing, he immediately remembered the one around the elder’s neck.
The two jade pendants could be said to be identical.
"It must be Grandma’s brother," Yue Qingqing frowned, "I’ve told Senior Brother before, the Yue family once had their Qi Fortune borrowed, and Grandma suspects that person did it."
Yan Sinian pondered for a moment, "Although I can’t see people’s Qi Fortune like Little Sister, that elder’s demeanor wasn’t common, he didn’t seem like someone capable of great evil."
Yue Qingqing also fell into thought, suddenly feeling an added weight on her head.
Yan Sinian’s warm palm rested on Yue Qingqing’s head, "All right, you’re still young, don’t think too much about it, if the sky fell, your Senior Brother would hold it up for you."
Yue Qingqing immediately found the feeling of being a salted fish from her past life and cheerfully acknowledged his words.
After returning home, she put it out of her mind; anyway, according to Grandma’s wishes, they might as well consider that person dead, and if they really encountered him in the future, they would act accordingly then.
Why trouble oneself over it now?
The long vacation finally ended, and Yue Qingqing soon became a proud junior high student at Zhuancheng No. 1 Middle School.
On the opening day, the unruly children, still not reined in, had to accept the care of an exam-oriented education system again.
The three Yue siblings were dropped off at the school gates together.
Yue Qingqing looked up at the familiar campus, recalling her little uncle’s days at the school.
But one was in the junior high section and the other in the high school section, their teaching buildings were not the same.
Yue Xingxing had been attending school here for a year already and was now busily lecturing her brother.
"From now on, after school every day, I’ll come to your classroom first to check your homework from the day before."
Yue Xiaohu immediately let out a wail, and just as he was about to seek Yue Qingqing’s help, he felt the situation might escalate from a one-on-one to a two-on-one and quickly clamped his mouth shut.
When she looked at Qingqing, Yue Xingxing’s gaze shifted from disappointment to "I’m most at ease with you, kiddo."
"Qingqing, go to your classroom, and if you need anything, come find me at any time," she said.
Yue Qingqing responded and went off with her backpack to Class One.
The classes were arranged according to academic performance.
Class One was the best class, commonly called the Experimental Class.
With the top students singled out, the rest of the classes were divided evenly, not differing by much.
Xingxing said that there was even a rotation system every term, the best students from the regular classes would move up to Class One, while a few students at the bottom of Class One would be demoted to the regular classes.
It was somewhat akin to a bottom-out policy in the workplace.
The incoming students would also get a preliminary impression of the fiercely competitive educational system.
As a relationship-based admit, Yue Xiaohu naturally was not placed in the same class as Yue Qingqing but was assigned to Class Four.
Yue Xiaohu actually seemed quite happy about it.
Most of the students had already arrived in Class One’s classroom.
When Yue Qingqing entered, many eyes turned to her.
Some were old classmates from elementary school, while others were new faces.
Yue Qingqing smiled and casually chose a seat to sit down.
Not long after sitting down, a boy who had noticed her earlier came over to her side.
