Chapter 76 - Walking Out of the Mountains (1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Surrounded by mountains, Fujun Town, though a bit poor, had a picturesque landscape with beautiful hills and clear waters.

Ye Jian, who ran alongside the national road early every morning, felt especially peaceful when she saw the hills and rivers of the town. Even the incident involving Gao Yiyang didn’t affect her mood.

Hair dampened by the fog, Ye Jian saw Liao Jian, who was always late for school, sitting in the cla.s.sroom and being unusually quiet.

Hearing the footsteps of someone entering the cla.s.sroom, he raised his head with a vague light twinkling in his gloomy eyes. Like a shooting star, that light vanished instantly when he saw that the person was Ye Jian.

He got up, looking at the direction behind Ye Jian. Through this action only, Ye Jian had figured out what he was up to.

He was waiting for the arrival of Ye Ying. Since his dad was arrested, it was normal for him to feel scared, nervous and unsettled, hoping to find someone to help him.

Not to mention that Ye Ying’s father was the deputy town mayor. It was quite normal that Liao Jian wanted to see her.

But what’s odd was that since when were he and Ye Ying friendly enough that he could ask her for help whenever he was in trouble?

“Ye Jian, this way, this way, I have good news to tell you!” her cla.s.smates waved at her. Ye Jian stopped looking at Liao Jian and walked over to her cla.s.smates, smiling. “What kind of good news would make you so exhilarated in the early morning?”

It was the students who were good at studying that would arrive early in the cla.s.sroom. Right now, both the No.1 Scholar in liberal arts and science were in the cla.s.sroom.

Before Ye Jian could sit down, Zhang Na, the No.1 scholar in liberal arts, said excitedly, “The compet.i.tion of the Provincial Experimental No.1 Middle School! Which subject will you sign up for? Math? Chinese? Physics? Chemistry? Oh, there is also English.”

“This is the Extra Bonus Compet.i.tion in which every Eighth Grader and Ninth Grader in the province can partic.i.p.ate! We are going to register later, and the staff from the No.1 Middle School will come to our school next Sat.u.r.day!” Zhou Liao, the very best student in science, was also in high spirits. He was incredibly enthusiastic about math and was about to register for the math compet.i.tion.
