Chapter 40 - I’m Not A Bad Guy (2/2)

Mrs. Ke didn’t speak a word until the self-study session was about to end. She glared at some of the students who always performed badly in exams and criticized them angrily. Her glare stayed on Ye Jian’s face for at least ten seconds.

It sounded like she was talking specifically to Ye Jian.

Reading her book, Ye Jian didn’t mind Mrs. Ke’s angry look at all.

The music played by the school broadcast was interrupted. A Ninth-Grade broadcaster said in a mellow voice with her local-accented Mandarin, “Ye Jian of Cla.s.s Two Grade Eight, please come to the princ.i.p.al’s office immediately.”

Mrs. Ke paused at the cla.s.sroom door. Her face was gloomy, and she was a bit concerned as she heard the broadcast. Then, she left hastily.

Ye Jian walked to the princ.i.p.al’s office at a fast pace. She knocked and opened the door. But Princ.i.p.al Chen was not there. It was Xia Jinyuan who was sitting in the reception chair.

“It’s me who is looking for you,” said Xia Jinyuan. As he looked at the girl who had a pair of bright eyes, he couldn’t help but smile.

Ye Jian was still standing at the door. She was not intending to enter the office. Xia Jinyuan waved at her and smiled elegantly, “Come in. I want to talk to you about something.”

She looked vigilant. What did she think he would do to her?

Ye Jian sensed that Xia Jinyuan was treating her like a child. She lowered her head and observed her 14-year-old physique. Indeed, she was little. She was a short student in her cla.s.s.

She closed the door. Before Xia Jinyuan could speak, she pursed her lips and smiled, “Sorry about what happened before. I just wanted to look at that direction automatically,” After a pause, she continued, “I knew who you were pointing at, but I will not tell anyone.”
