Zhou Xitong, even though her IQ wasn’t particularly high, could unmistakably see Ye Chunxiao’s obvious signs of guilt right now.
Zhou Xitong deliberately instructed the driver to start the car and move forward.
As expected, the moment Ye Chunxiao saw the private car, she shrank back into the dormitory building.
Clearly afraid of being discovered.
Zhou Xitong stared out the car window at Ye Chunxiao, not taking her eyes off her until she could no longer see the other’s figure.
Zhou Xitong felt like she had discovered the truth and got so angry that she immediately wanted to tell the driver to stop.
But then she thought better of it, realizing that confronting her now would be useless, as Ye Chunxiao would definitely not admit to anything.
Moreover, on campus, no matter how angry she was, she couldn’t really do anything to her without inadvertently implicating herself.
Zhou Xitong had finally learned to use her brain and managed to contain her anger for the time being.
Once the car had left the campus, Zhou Xitong turned her head to look back at the school, pondering how she was going to deal with the matter.
She would absolutely not let the person who framed her get away with it.
She was determined to make that person pay a price!
Ye Chunxiao had no idea that Zhou Xitong had already guessed the truth.
Rushing back to the dormitory, Ye Chunxiao pressed her hand to her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.
Freed from Zhou Xitong’s possessions, she wished she could shout out loud.
No longer would she need to fetch water for Zhou Xitong every night, being bossed around like a servant.
Lying on her bed, Ye Chunxiao felt as if even the air was fresher.
It was just too bad Zhou Xitong didn’t suspect Yue Qingqing, how good it would be if they started fighting each other.
For a moment, Ye Chunxiao felt disappointed, but then she thought the outcome was already pretty good, and soon she closed her eyes and blissfully drifted into sleep.
Zhou Xitong’s departure didn’t cause much of a stir at school.
Only those who hoped to gain favors by ingratiating themselves with Zhou Xitong were vaguely disappointed, but they soon got lost again in the sea of strenuous studying.
The senior year of high school often represents the peak of many people’s mental capacity.
Every day, their brains are crammed with all kinds of knowledge.
They talk in their sleep, wishing they could recite the periodic table.
Even in the cafeteria, many can be seen gobbling down their food while muttering from their English shorthand notebooks.
In the dorms, the daily wake-up call isn’t an alarm clock, but English reading.
Yue Qingqing felt that she had never worked so hard in her past life.
Such an atmosphere was perfect for the research-loving "Big Brother", and Yue Qingqing suspected she could probably check the list of past top National College Entrance Examination scorers.
She might even find Big Brother among them.
Zhuang Lan had no time to update the strength ranking anymore, sinking into a daily struggle with test papers.
If even the acknowledged hard-working top student Zhuang Lan was in such a state, the condition of the others was imaginable.
It was like a marathon where everyone was exhausted towards the end.
What kept them going was the yearning for the finish line and that little bit of light in their hearts.
Thinking of the journey they had made, thinking of the person in their heart.
Often, those who could last to the end weren’t the most outstanding but were those with faith in their hearts.
Clearly, Ye Chunxiao was not among them.
Ever since she fell behind in her first year, she found learning extremely difficult.
There might be shortcuts on other paths, but learning could only be accomplished through accumulation.
Ye Chunxiao felt truly fatigued and even enviously looked at the school-dropping Zhou Xitong.
At least she had freed herself from studying.
With that mindset, Ye Chunxiao naturally grew negligent and even planned to take a stroll outside of school on Friday afternoon to relax.
However, Ye Chunxiao was unaware that someone had set their sights on her.
On Friday, Ye Chunxiao left school.
Heading to a nearby snack street.
The strong aromas acted like hooks, enticing plenty of people in that direction.
Ye Chunxiao planned to buy some snacks, but as soon as she reached the entrance of the street, she was suddenly stopped by a hoodlum.
"You’re Ye Chunxiao, right?"
Ye Chunxiao was startled and her face stiffly formed into a smile.
"Who’s Ye Chunxiao? I, I’m called Yue——"
The man scoffed, "Stop pretending, we’ve had our eyes on you for several days now. Come with me."
Without waiting for Ye Chunxiao to shout, the man pulled out a dagger and pressed it against her waist.
"Make a sound, and I’ll stab it in right now."
Ye Chunxiao could only obediently follow him.
