If she could show her actual strength, she would make the skeptics shut up and no one would gossip about her anymore!
“Anyway, don’t you think our school has put great emphasis on this competition?” An Jiaxin moved closer to Ye Jian and whispered. She put her mind at ease when she heard Ye Jian’s speech. “Even the midterm exam is delayed. The competition must be unusual.”
Smiling, Ye Jian didn’t say anything. But the look in her eyes indicated that she agreed with An Jiaxin.
Of course, it was unusual.
Principal Chen had already known Ye Jian’s scores. He tightened his eyes slightly. A while later, he said, “The kid has a different goal. But she sure is willing to do whatever that will bring honor to the country.”
“Nothing can be done about it. The competition is being conducted throughout the country. Your school, as well as other schools, has postponed the midterm exams,” said Principal Cao in a deep voice. His face, which usually was brimmed with smiles, had a serious look at this moment. “We lost three years ago. We will not allow another defeat this time! Only 12 students will be selected as representatives for our country. Ye Jian has a great chance to stand out.”
“As of yesterday, throughout the national education system, there were only six candidates who achieved the Grand Slams in the primary competition. Not only had Ye Jian reached the Grand Slams, but she had used the least time to finish the exams.”
“Old Chen, you should try to persuade Ye Jian.”
Just as An Jiaxin had said, this competition was… rather unusual, which was evident from the demeanors and words of Principal Cao.
Not only had Ye Jian and An Jiaxin sensed something extraordinary, but most students had speculated the significance of the primary competition. It was the first time that the midterm exam in their school was postponed due to an academic contest.
Ye Jian handed in her exam paper a bit slower than before. She was indeed at a disadvantage because of the pain of her hands.
Noticing this, Ye Ying smiled with contempt. Could she produce a normal performance in the exams consecutively? No way!
When Ye Jian was concentrated on answering her exam questions, the invigilators stood next to her, for they wanted to see if this sensational girl in school was really talented.
After two days of exams, the teachers had the answer.
When the politics exam was finished in the afternoon, the students in the entire school felt a sense of relief and started to compare their answers. “Come on, let’s compare our answers. I sense that so many of mine are wrong.”
“There were two fill-in-the-blank quizzes that I didn’t do because I forgot the dates of the events.” While the rest of the students were comparing their answers with each other, the exam papers of Ye Jian had been graded and were delivered to Principal Chen.
It happened so fast that Mrs. Ke, the head teacher of Ye Jian’s class, didn’t have a chance to glance at her exam papers.
Ye Jian, who had no habit of comparing answers, were drawn in the discussing crowds.
“Wow, you’ve got this one correct! I didn’t recite it! Yingying, you are amazing!” He Jiamin gasped in admiration because she had copied plenty of the answers from Ye Ying, who had done pretty well in the exams.
And then, rolling her eyes at Ye Jian, He Jiamin giggled and mocked her, “Looks like someone is still arrogant. We can wait and see when she cries.”
“Let her have her moment! She will cry when she sees her scores!” Although He Jiamin didn’t dare mock Ye Jian in her face any longer, she was getting meaner in private. “Did you see that she shook her hands frequently in the exams during the past two days? Oh. I bet it’s because she didn’t know how to answer the exams.”
Ye Ying didn’t stop He Jiamin’s speech. She was like a spectator waiting to see how the episode would end. Someone would help her bully Ye Jian when she did nothing!
“Let’s see how she will make a fool of herself. When she is too embarrassed to come to school, she’d better drop out!”
