Ning Xiao had also packed his things, listening to Tang Ming’s calls.
When he turned around, he indeed saw Bai Lian’s cold expression on his pale face, his eyes dangerously narrowed. Even without speaking, Bai Lian made Ning Xiao feel a chill.
The usual laziness was gone.
Ning Xiao grabbed Tang Ming’s backpack strap, his gloomy eyes revealing a trace of light through his dark bangs. He spoke calmly, “I’m giving you a spot, so what are you yelling about? Get out first.”
He was very serious, and his voice was very loud.
Tang Ming let out an “Oh” and toned down his voice.
Bai Lian’s slender fingers gripped his backpack properly before withdrawing his gaze and heading for the door with a somewhat nonchalant attitude.
The two followed him out.
Everyone in the lecture hall watched the three of them leave, and only after they were out of sight did they exchange glances.
“What did Tang Ming just say?”
Someone asked as if it were fantasy.
“It seemed like… it seemed like he said Bai Lian was going to give up his spot for him.”
With the Chen Family’s wide experience and knowledge, Chen Zhu also couldn’t suppress his shock.
Everyone in Xiangcheng, even those from the four major cities, strove for a spot at Jiangjing University. Even at Beicheng High School, there were only ten spots controlled by Jiangjing University.
Such a spot couldn’t be found even on the app’s auction site; it was priceless.
Both the Ren Family and the Chen Family treasured it, not to mention others.
Was Bai Lian really going to give his spot to Tang Ming?
“It’s not that hard to understand,” someone in the lecture hall suddenly spoke up, “Ning Xiao and Tang Ming have such high scores, probably because Bai Lian shared all the answers with them, especially since Ning Xiao is first.”
Ning Xiao often competed with Chen Zhu for the top two spots in the whole school, and this time, even with the help of a Jiangjing University PhD, Chen Zhu’s scores were still lower than Ning Xiao’s, which could only mean there was a mastermind behind the scenes.
This variable was because of who…
Aside from Bai Lian, he couldn’t think of anyone else.
“Aren’t those three in a competitive relationship?”
Before, they had envied Ren Wanxuan’s two team members.
But now, compared to Tang Ming and Ning Xiao, those two team members didn’t seem enviable at all.
“Competing for what? Didn’t you see? Bai Lian is even going to transfer the app to Tang Ming. The new student is really too good to his groupmates. If only I had been randomly chosen…”
At this point, most of them couldn’t help but look at Zhu Jiaren, who used to sit behind Ren Wanxuan.
They remembered Zhu Jiaren was also in Bai Lian’s group.
Zhu Jiaren hadn’t looked up once since hearing Ning Xiao and Tang Ming’s scores.
She had come to a realization…
Ning Xiao hadn’t been going to assist Bai Lian with poverty alleviation every evening.
Bai Lian had the answers, even clearer than Ren Wanxuan’s!
Why hadn’t she mentioned it before?
If she had spoken up, she wouldn’t have made up an excuse to go back to the dorm…
The assignments, and those assignments!
Zhu Jiaren pulled up Tang Ming’s WeChat, which she had only added…
[What exactly was the assignment Bai Lian gave us before?]
Tang Ming didn’t say a word, just sent over two pictures.
The pictures showed Bai Lian’s handwritten assignments and analyses. Zhu Jiaren had never paid attention to the assignments Bai Lian had sent before, throwing them away without a second glance. Today was the first time she seriously looked at the questions and analyses.
After looking through them, she was unable to regain her composure for a long time.
Only then did she finally understand what she had missed.
Outside.
By the tenth time Tang Ming asked Bai Lian, she finally spoke up, “If you say one more word, I’ll immediately transfer it to Zhang Shize.”
Tang Ming:
He fluidly downloaded the app, registered an account.
Then searched for Ning Xiao’s account and followed it. He was just about to ask Bai Lian when he couldn’t find hers but saw that Bai Lian had already entered a milk tea shop.
He silently held back.
At the Ren Family.
Mealtime.
Ren Qian had just returned from outside, handing a gift box to a servant. Glancing around, he did not see Ren Wanxuan, “Where’s Xuanxuan?”
The servants exchanged looks.
Ren Wanxuan had been gloomy since her return and had locked herself upstairs without coming down for dinner.
No one dared to call her.
Ren Qian was surprised; he knew today was the day spots were distributed, and he had even brought a gift back for Ren Wanxuan.
He went upstairs and knocked on Ren Wanxuan’s door.
There was no response, so he had someone fetch the key from the storage room to unlock the door.
Ren Wanxuan hadn’t turned on the light, and the curtains were tightly drawn. Ren Qian, surprised, had the servant hand her the gift box while he turned on the room’s light.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Ren Wanxuan still in her school uniform, lying on the bed, Ren Qian held the gift box and gently began, “Your grandfather also bought you a gift. Open it and see; it’s what you’ve always liked.”
“I don’t want it.”
Ren Qian, concerned, looked at Ren Wanxuan and gestured for the servant to leave, “Xuanxuan, tell your grandfather, who bullied you?”
