The thing that matters in the competition is their talent. Ye Jian was not bad, so she had nothing to fear.
Ye Jian took away her registration form and went back to her seat. She wrote her name in every subject of the Test Subject column, except Chinese.
Since her goal was to enroll in the Provincial Experimental No.1 Middle School, she should participate in more exams in this kind of competition!
Ten minutes before the morning study session began, Liao Jian, who had been nervous all morning, stood up abruptly and rushed outside. His actions were so violent that his desk and chair clanged.
Ye Ying has appeared at the entrance to the classroom.
Were it not for the clanging noise of the desk and the chair made by Liao Jian, Ye Jian would not have raised her head from her politics textbook to look in their direction.
As soon as they met at the classroom door, a hint of panic flickered in Ye Ying’s eyes. “Let’s go outside,” said Ye Ying with her lips pursed. She turned around and left the classroom immediately as if she was afraid that someone might see them.
Compared with the Ye Ying who became the wife of a government official in her past life, the facial expressions of the Ye Ying at this moment were much more predictable.
Ye Jian slightly tightened her lips. In her past life, she was a junior high school graduate, while Ye Ying studied abroad in the USA, becoming the pride of Fujun Town.
That was why when she returned to Fujun Town in the old days, she had to leave the town again. To survive, she must live cautiously and vigilantly.
Now that she had passed the biggest turning point in this lifetime, she was waiting to see who would be the winner of their feud!
“They are being sneaky. What are they up to? Since when had the bad student and the good student became friends?” An Jiaxin, who happened to run into them, sat on Zhang Bin’s seat. Restraining her voice, she said, “I also saw Liao Jian grabbing Ye Ying’s wrist, and he seemed very emotional.”
Ye Jian had also sensed the fishy business between them. Nevertheless, that was none of her concern.
“Why do you care about them? Have you filled in the form? The Provincial Experimental No.1 Middle School has a competition which might give you extra bonuses in the senior high school entrance exam. Just go and talk with Zhou Liao and others about it,” said Ye Jian without lifting her head. She had been turning her book from page one to page eleven.
In less than two minutes after An Jiaxin sitting down, she had turned to another page.
Ye Jian flipped a page casually. Glancing at the page from top to bottom, she then turned to another page. Bewildered, An Jiaxin asked, “Are you reading this to pass the time?”
It’s uncommon to read or recite a book in this way, for she only spent a couple of minutes on one page.
“I’m not killing time this way. I’m just reviewing,” Ye Jian smiled and looked at her, without any explanation. She added, “Have you finished reciting the book? It’s a bit hard to recite the several chapters of The Constitution. I would recommend reciting them a few more times if you haven’t memorized them by heart. Probably they will be in the exams this time.”
An Jiaxin, who was a top student in math, lacked interest in liberal arts.
“I’m not going to recite them,” she yawned languidly and stood up. “And Ye Ying and Liao Jian must be up to no good now that they are becoming close. You should be careful.”
Ye Ying had always been bullying Ye Jian. And a few weeks ago, the narrow-minded Liao Jian was humiliated by Ye Jian.
Now that the two of them had become friends, Ye Jian should better watch out.
“I see. Don’t worry,” Ye Jian smiled, shrugging off the warning. As the bell of the study session rang, their small talk came to an end.
In the Municipal Detention Center, Xia Jinyuan took over the report handed to him by a policeman. After staring at one sentence of Liao Youde’s statement for a long time, he said in a deep voice, “How true is it?”
“More than 95% of it is true. According to the statements from several others, it is confirmed that Liao Youde possessed guns illegally. Another criminal suspect also confessed that Liao Youde said he was returning to the township public health center to take something.”
