After saying that, Cheng Xingyang couldn’t help but turn his head to Jiang Ran
"What’s going on with you and Student Su Yan... No, I mean sister-in-law, what’s the deal? Don’t tell me you confessed and she hasn’t agreed yet?"
Cheng Xingyang had just made a casual comment, but it turned out he had stepped on a landmine.
Jiang Ran lifted his head, his eyebrows and eyes filled with a dangerous air.
Cheng Xingyang was taken aback and instinctively moved to the side, swallowing hard
"I was just kidding, don’t tell me it’s true?"
After finishing, he saw Jiang Ran’s face remain unsightly silent.
Cheng Xingyang widened his eyes, struggling to suppress a laugh.
My goodness, what goes around comes around!
God distributes hardships to everyone, just at different times for different people.
Just like Jiang Ran right now, isn’t he the one going through it??!
The girl he likes, likes another guy.
Is there anything more pitiful than this??
Of course, he dared not actually kick a man when he’s down, lest he gets murdered.
Instead, he hurriedly moved to stand far to the side.
Now, let’s talk about Su Yan, who has entered the teacher’s office.
As soon as the chemistry teacher saw Su Yan, his face lit up.
"Su Yan is here, come over!"
In his words, the excitement in his heart could hardly be hidden.
Su Yan nodded and walked over.
The chemistry teacher pulled out one from a stack of papers and placed it on the desk.
"You do this set of questions."
Yuan Xinlin placed the chemistry test he was holding onto the teacher’s desk.
He caught a glance of the test accidentally.
It was from the previous national chemistry competition exam.
He had also done it before; it was quite difficult.
Especially the last two major questions, he just couldn’t grasp the essence.
He only vaguely got a direction after the teacher gave him a couple of pointers.
Su Yan obediently took the test paper and then sat down in a chair beside.
The chemistry teacher, also concerned about putting too much pressure on Su Yan, hastened to say comfortingly
"No worries, if you really can’t do it, just leave it blank."
"Okay, Teacher."
Su Yan’s voice was soft as she responded.
Then, she lowered her head to begin working.
Her black hair fell down, covering most of her face.
The lively sunshine streamed in, spilling onto her body, the test paper, her slender frame, her clean appearance.
It left Yuan Xinlin momentarily stunned.
It wasn’t until the chemistry teacher spoke that Yuan Xinlin snapped back to reality.
"Xinlin, this time we’re selecting three students from our grade to participate in the national chemistry competition. Besides you, there’s Gu Zhi from your class, and Zhao Sen, the class president from class three. You all are excellent seeds, nurture them well, and your future prospects are boundless."
Yuan Xinlin’s face showed humility
"Teacher, you flatter me."
The chemistry teacher was also in his mid-fifties, with most of his hair gone bald, and with the sunlight streaming in, even his bald spot shone brightly.
Then he suddenly said
"Oh, by the way, how are those test questions I gave you before doing?"
"Not bad, but indeed, the difficulty has increased quite a bit compared to the previous ones."
"Hahaha, let me tell you, you guys have got it good this time"
The teacher paused, then continued.
"Originally, the chemistry competition included practical lab work as well, but last time, one student got too nervous, couldn’t cope psychologically and messed up the chemicals, leading to an explosion and severe injury. To prevent that incident from happening again, the authorities decided that this year’s chemistry competition will only have written exams, and the practical lab portion will be canceled."
Brightness flashed in Yuan Xinlin’s eyes,
"Teacher, really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
After speaking, the chemistry teacher patted Yuan Xinlin’s shoulder earnestly
"These questions, take them back and work on them again, when you have them all figured out, you’ll be about ready."
