Her body had no problems and was brimming with energy. Commander Liu waved at her and smiled worriedly, “We will welcome you anytime, as long as you can hold on. You’re now considered as a soldier under my command. I’ll have to be strict on you, don’t be lazy with just a small injury.”
“I won’t! Rest assured.” Ye Jian was full of smiles as she closed the car door and watch the car leave before she headed over to the campus gate.
Across the road, Ye Ying wrote down a license plate number on her notebook with a pen. A sharp sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth as she looked at Ye Jian walking towards the campus gate. Ye Jian… No wonder her classmates had said that she hasn’t been attending evening study sessions since the start of school. Turns out that a car has been sending her back and forth!
This was a huge discovery. She had to pass the license plate number to her family and find out who it was.
Yao Jing from Class Three, who was good friends with Ye Ying, walked over and patted Ye Ying’s shoulder, “Isn’t that Ye Jian? Who sent her to school?”
Lost in her thoughts, Ye Ying was shocked when Yao Jing patted her. She immediately closed her notebook and turned around after patting her chest. With her heart throbbing with terror, she said, “You scared me to death. Why are you so early today? Don’t you usually come at the last minute?”
“No one’s at home since my mum had to attend some banquet tonight and the chauffeur sent me to school earlier. My turn, did you see who was the one who sent Ye Jian back? I thought she was so poor that she couldn’t even afford her school fees? Why was someone driving her?” Yao Jing was insistent, even at home. Seeing that Ye Ying was not replying, she pressed on, “Quick, tell me. Don’t play dumb.”
Ye Ying kept her notebook in her bag and smiled while lowering her eyes. “I don’t know either. There are no relatives who would drive her to school. It’s probably someone she knew outside.”
“Outside? And the person even drove her back?”
“I don’t know. It’s just my guess. Let’s not talk about her, it has nothing to do with us.” Ye Ying carried her schoolbag and smiled, “Yue Mei’s birthday is coming soon right? What are you going to give her?”
The topic then changed to birthday presents for their good friend.
Back at the dormitory, Ye Jian was surrounded by An Jiaxin and the girls. When they saw the scars on her hands, all of them took in a breath of cold air.
“I was just hit by someone else’s bicycle and fell on the ground. I just scratched my skin, that’s all. All of you don’t have to look at me like that. It really doesn’t hurt.”
An Jiaxin raised her arm and looked at it repeatedly, and said to the other classmates who had changed their expressions, “It’s okay. The area covered with the purple iodine water is large and looks scary. I used to fall and land on my butt, and it looks much worse than this. It’s okay, it will form a scab tomorrow.”
She was used to falling down. She had a geologist for a dad, and she would fall numerous times every summer vacation. She wouldn’t bother too much about a small injury.
As soon as the girls in the dormitory heard it, Yang Yi stared angrily at her. “Ye Jian’s not a tomboy like you. One look and I can tell you grew up falling here and there. But Ye Jian’s different. Her skin is smooth and tender, and white as the snow. She’s fragile compared to you.”
Ye Jian then laughed. The one who was tough was her, not An Jiaxin. Having white skin was advantageous as everyone had the impression that she was ‘delicate’.
