Chapter 140 - Failed Strategy (2/2)

At home, he had planned to take Ye Jian to enjoy the authentic Beijing cuisines at a private kitchen in Beihai Park. And then, he would take her to the training field in his courtyard, to see if she had made progress during the past few days when he was absent.

It seemed that this arrangement was unlikely to keep the independent girl by his side… So, he adjusted his strategy in the last minute by luring her to the a.r.s.enal!

It was a very good strategy. But the person it targeted upon was unusual.

Xia Jinyuan thought he was about to succeed. But in the end… the girl said, “I can’t go.” As Xia Jinyuan drove away, he felt heartbreak for the first time.

Not only was the girl smart, but she was also adamant. It’s really hard to lure her.

Ye Jian didn’t return to the school until his car had driven out of her sight. Now, it was shy of six o’clock, so she decided to go back to her dormitory to wash up.

She would be lying if she said she was not nervous on the podium. That was her first experience, and her back was drenched in sweat.

She was indeed a bit tired after her brain worked at high speed for consecutive days…

Alas, if she were to spend time with the dangerous man, she would be tense all over and have to pay attention to his intangible flirtations which could cause misunderstandings.

Just like moments ago, he could have kept his distance during their conversation, but he was so close to her… Moreover, he hunched over, surrounding her with his masculine scent.

…All the more the reason she didn’t want to go with him!

When Ye Jian came downstairs, many students had been chatting with each other. They were the candidates from each school which partic.i.p.ated in the contest. In total, there were 42 people, which was not a lot.

Among the 12 students from Fujun Town, six of them had returned home. Led by the students and teachers of the Capital No.1 Experiment Middle School, the remaining six students boarded a bus, heading to the orchard farm.
