Chapter 124 - Mock Exams (1)
“Instead of spreading gossips about me, why don’t you study instead to do better in the college entrance examination? Move aside!” Ye Tianxin retorted.
Ye Tianxin had anticipated this from them, but not this kind of gossip. It was a low blow. She didn’t think that they would be so nasty.
‘I have nothing to hide. I’ve done nothing wrong,’ Ye Tianxin thought. ‘Why should I bother about these girls? I should set my sights on something more profound and work harder. These girls are likely to end up in an average college, study a common major, and get married when they are of age. My life is, and will be, different from theirs.’
Ye Tianxin was still trying to adjust. She had just returned from the capital. This was her first class.
When the class ended, Di Shanshi handed her the notes he had taken. “Tianxin, you can read through this,” he told Ye Tianxin.
“Thank you. But I’m good,” Ye Tianxin declined. However, Di Shanshi grabbed her wrist and insisted, “I’ve already highlighted the key points. Here. Take a look.”
“I’ll definitely fare better than her in the exams,” Ye Tianxin assured Di Shanshi with a weak smile. Di Shanshi wasn’t sure what to make of Ye Tianxin. Although she assured him of faring better than Ye Youran, Ye Tianxin rather looked worried.
It was impossible for her to beat Ye Youran in the exams since she had been absent from class for so long.
“All the best to you then!” Di Shanshi cheered her on before he released her wrist and left for the bicycle shed.
As Di Shanshi walked to the shed, he could still feel the warmth of Ye Tianxin’s hand. He then touched his face. He felt as though Ye Tianxin was caressing his face. He smiled.
“I have fallen for her. It’s a strange feeling. Who would’ve thought? I myself was surprised,” he realized.
Ye Tianxin heard the sound of a car horn the moment she walked out of the school. “Tianxin, over here!” a voice yelled.
“Brother Jing, why are you here?” She was surprised to see Jing Zhichen. “I could go home by myself.”
“I happen to be around this area this afternoon. Come on, let’s go home!” he invited.
Ye Tianxin then opened the door to the passenger’s seat and got into the car. After she had fastened the seat belt, the car sped off.
When her classmates saw this, they couldn’t help but gossip among themselves. They were jealous of Ye Tianxin, for she had a Prince Charming. These girls had been dreaming of a prince that would sweep them off their feet. He would love and dote on them as if they were the most precious treasure on earth. He would give them the best things in the world and he would only have eyes for them.
When they saw Jing Zhichen, he ticked all the right boxes. A girl giddily remarked, “That man looks so handsome!”
Jing Zhichen was indeed born with good looks.
“Was that a Maybach he’s driving?” a boy commented.
“Why? Is that expensive?” a girl asked curiously.
“I think it costs a lot. I’m not sure, but probably millions of dollars,” another boy replied. Everyone was murmuring. “So it was a luxury car and it costs a few million dollars. That’s grand!” The atmosphere seemed to have changed.
Many of them lost sleep that night, for they couldn’t stop thinking about Jing Zhichen.
Tonight was an unusually restless one for Ye Youran, for tomorrow would be a critical day for her.
“I’ll humiliate Ye Tianxin with my grades and use them to prove to her what a real curve wrecker should be like. I’ll make her do a sexy dance in front of the entire student body,” she planned.
