Chapter 104: I Am Working Hard, And You?

“She’s overestimating herself!” Ye Ying giggled as she heard the news from the broadcast that Ye Jian was participating in the primary competition of the English subject.
She believed that Ye Jian was not bad in other courses.
But when it came to English… She would be good at it if the sun were to rise from the west!
Many top students had registered for the English exam. Ye Jian was going to embarrass herself.
As the deputy town mayor, Ye Zhifan had a major influence on Ye Ying. Gradually, she learned that she should think before she acts.
But for Ye Jian, she was aware that numerous people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, so she couldn’t care less what Ye Ying thought about her.
Poised, Ye Jian went into the classroom and found her seat, waiting for the distribution of exam papers.
The nine candidates, including Gao Yiyang, looked at Ye Jian with a complicated gaze in their eyes.
Among all the students in Grade Eight and Grade Nine, these nine students were the best at English. And what gave Ye Jian of Class Two Grade Eight the confidence to sign up for the English exam?
Sitting in a corner, Gao Yiyang pursed his thin lips so tightly that they became a straight line.
Why… why did she have to embarrass herself in school? Numerous classmates were waiting to see her become a fool. Couldn’t she just lay low for a bit?
The teachers hadn’t arrived yet. Gao Yiyang stood up, walking over to the back of a girl. Despite the cold look on his face, he said to the girl politely, “Hello, could you please switch your seat with mine? There are only ten people in this exam. We can sit wherever we want.”
Ye Jian didn’t turn around. She didn’t care whoever was sitting behind her.
“Just skip the questions if you can’t solve them,” Gao Yiyang’s low-pitched and cold voice was heard as the exam paper was being handed out. “I will give you the answers when I finish.”
No matter what, he would let Ye Jian pass this test!
He would not allow those gossiping students to say anything bad about Ye Jian. After all, Ye Jian… was a girl.
In front of him, Ye Jian, who had been writing, paused and turned around. It seemed that the cold-faced Gao Yiyangwas really thoughtful of her. Calmly, she said, “You are very confident in English. It’s because you once lived abroad, right?”
“Ye Jian, I am helping you,” Gao Yiyang was a bit uncomfortable when he heard Ye Jian’s words, though he didn’t recognize any implication from them. “And yes, I have the confidence.”
Raising her eyebrows, Ye Jian started to smile. Her pitch-black eyes, reflecting the rays of lamps, were as resplendent as stars. “What a coincidence. I am very confident in myself too. Sorry, I couldn’t care less about your so-called ‘help’.”
“You!” Gao Yiyang’s handsome face suddenly turned pale. With a cold look in his eyes, he stared at Ye Jian who had sat up straight. “Ye Jian, don’t be so ungrateful.”
Tut, tut, tut. What could he do? Ye Jian was indeed an ungrateful person.
As the cassette rolled, the first listening question began. Gao Yiyang had to restrain his fury.
When the listening session was over, Ye Jian answered the following questions swiftly until she reached the last question in the reading session. When she finished, she handed her exam paper to Mrs. Song, saying goodbye politely to her. Chicly, she left the exam classroom, while the remaining nine classmates were still taking the exam.
Instead of returning to her classroom, she went to An Jiaxin’s dorm, picked up her schoolbag and left the school.
Tonight’s training was to practice the stability of her arms. Before Ye Jian could put down her schoolbag, she hurried to the training room, where Principal Chen had been waiting for her for a long time.
The scores of her exams had never been the emphasis of the conversations between them. Holding a string of bells in his hands, Principal Chen indicated Ye Jian to reach out her hands. “Your wrists will carry a weight of five kilograms for 30 minutes. Every time the bells ring, you hold on for another ten minutes.”
As days went by, she would face increasingly tougher trainings if she were to become a sniper.
