Reborn At Boot Camp
Chapter 111-115
Chapter 111: Face Slapping (IV)
Jealousy thrives like weeds. Although Ye Ying lowered his head so that the look on his face was invisible to others, the gloom that emerged from him was like a swamp filled with animal carcasses, dark, cold, and sinister.
Sitting to his right, Tan Wei automatically tilted his head to look at him. Before Tan Wei could open her mouth, her eyelids twitched in fear due to Ye Ying's facial expression.
Tan Wei's heart sank. Unlike Xie Sifeng and He Jiamin, Tan Wei did not admire Ye Ying indiscriminately. Seeing this, he threw his face away calmly.
This Ye Ying was strange to him, making him cringe.
“School Head Chen...” Mistress Ke restrained her nervousness. He asked his question openly in front of his students. “Is that your decision or..”
“The decision was taken by SMP No.1 Province and based on the appearance of the students. It wasn't up to me,” School Head Chen glanced at Madam Ke slightly, not giving her the chance to resolve her question. “Do not get angry, of course. It is uncertain if they can qualify to attend the contest for our country. Candidates must pass two rounds of selection before being able to attend closed and advanced training.”
Thanks to this sentence, the noisy classroom became quiet in no time. As it turned out, the candidates had to pass two rounds of selection before getting a chance to represent the country.
That was very difficult... They wondered if Ye Jian could do it.
Regardless of the end result, the fact that Ye Jian missed the first round of selection was proof that his brain was quite impressive!
Thinking of this, the students looked at Ye Jian calmly in awe.
“Before I leave, I want to pass on a message to you, Second Class student,” Principal Chen's eyes, as deep as the sea, staring at those innocent faces. He said meaningfully, “As I said before, academic achievement cannot explain anything about a person. It is the moral quality that sets people apart.”
It is the moral quality that distinguishes people!
Ye Ying, who lowered her head, felt so dizzy that she almost fainted.
Is... does he mean he is?
“You Jian!!” Gritting her teeth, Ye Ying clumped loudly in her mind as if this was the only way to dispel her hatred inside. But he had no idea that the more he acted like this, the more despicable he looked.
To Ye Jian, this was nothing more than a trivial matter in his life. It was inappropriate to make him too happy about it.
Of course, his score had silenced those skeptics, thus saving him from a lot of trouble.
After Mandarin lessons, Ny Ke, who had lost her authority as a teacher, immediately left the classroom.
There was nothing he could do against Ye Jian! He could not curse or beat Ye Jian... He did not even have a proper reason to criticize her in public!
Seeing him escape, Ye Jian sneered.
He will never forget how Ms. Ke and Sun Dongqing ganged at him by impregnating him!
He would never forget that, in front of the entire class, Bu Ke slapped his face loudly while shouting, “You are a shame! You don't deserve to be my student.”
Oh, in this life, Ye Jian would not let Madame Ke stand behind the podium anymore, because she did not deserve to be a teacher!
Throughout the morning, Ye Jian's classmates stared at him with subtle meaning in their eyes. The rumor disappeared instantly as if it had never existed.
On the way to the cafeteria during the day, An Jiaxin felt proud and excited. He said in a low tone, "As soon as School Head Chen appears, Madam Ke is so frightened that her legs turn cold."
“Aduh, let me tell you how I felt back then. I feel comfortable as if I just drank honey water.”
Chapter 112: Face Slapping (V)
With a smile, Ye Jian glanced at him and said calmly, “We are still in his class around next year. Lie down a little, An Jiaxin. After all, he is our teacher.”.
A student walked towards them, interrupting Ye Jian's words.
“Sorry, Ye Jian!” the boy suddenly apologized and then bowed deeply. “I hope you can achieve better achievements in the next tests so that you can enter the competition on behalf of our country!”
This unexpected incident made Ye Jian slightly pursed his lips. Everything was so beautiful when she could live her life again.
“Thank you, I will try it,” he said with a smile. Rainbows appear after a storm.
From the teaching building to the cafeteria, countless students expressed their apologies and kindness to Ye Jian.
“Ye Jian, from now on, no one dares to doubt you or gossip about you,” An Jiaxin said. The corner of his eyes was a bit damp.
“I am not afraid of judgment or questions,” Ye Jian looked at the sky with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Like a sharp sword splitting the darkness, the sunlight pierced through the layers of clouds, shining brightly. “I'm just afraid I'm not making progress, and in the end, I will disappear from this world like a grain of dust.”
“I'm not trying to prove anything to them. I just want to live a better life. It's about survival, okay?”
The last sentence made her sound like an old woman who had gone through everything. From his lifelong experience, he concluded that it was his survival instinct that kept him going.
Like a call to wake up, Ye Jian's words echoed loudly in An Jiaxin's mind. In an instant, this kind-hearted girl understood many things.
As the saying goes, make friends with good people and you will be the number one person.
Ye Jian's charisma could always influence the lives of those closest to him in an intangible manner.
One after another the students approached Ye Jian from time to time. Seeing this, Ye Ying continued squeezing the leaves in his palm. Green sap leaves coloring between his fingers. Hatred had taken root in his eyes and could not be eliminated anymore.
Ye Ying did not waste face until he saw Liao Jian pass through the dense trees. He walked towards the reading Pavilion, the famous architecture of the school.
Located between two teaching buildings, the Reading Pavilion is surrounded by tall, green trees. In the morning, many students come here to read.
During the day, there were very few people in the Reading Pavilion. Walking on the road covered in blue tiled stones, Ye Ying headed there. He saw Liao Jian holding a cigar in his mouth like a delinquent.
“Alright, my father asked me to tell you that your father can come back two months later,” Ye Ying did not want to talk to such a mischievous disciple. However, he could not stay away from her. So, he had to force himself. “After all, have you asked about the thing I told you to do?”
The gloom on his face disappeared once Liao Jian heard that his father could return two months later.
Looking around, he took out an item similar to a bank deposit book quickly from his pants pocket. “Thank you from my mother for your family. Keep it. As for Ye Jian, just wait, my people know where he lives and we can teach him a lesson anytime.”
To his surprise, the chick lives in the New Recruitment Camp.
Her priority was to please Ye Ying. When his father returned, it would be very easy for them to discipline Ye Jian.
Someone is walking to the Pavilion read. Out of fear that he might be seen with the naughty disciple, Ye Ying immediately said, “Alright, now go. I will tell you what to do against Ye Jian when the time comes.”
Chapter 113: Sneaking
How sincerely Liao Jian wished he could leave. Hearing this, he jumped into the bushes like a rat, disappearing in front of Ye Ying.
“Ye Jian from Second Class is amazing. He might go abroad to attend a contest representing our country. How I envy her.”
“That's because he's so talented. I wonder if you dare to speak ill of him any longer,” Gao Yiyang cold voice sounded from behind the tree. “Your previous statement about the girl was unbearable. If you're a man, you should apologize to him.”
“I have to apologize. How about you come with me?”
Hearing this, Ye Ying, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. He wanted to hear the answer from Gao Yiyang who was now speechless.
A while later, Gao Yiyang let out a self-deprecating smile and said clearly, “Oh, you want me to go with you? I'm afraid he'll escape sooner.” He really underestimated it.
As the footsteps left, Ye Ying sneered lightly, narrowing his eyes. With a flat face, he left the Pavilion.
If Ye Jian knew the background of the Gao Yiyang family, would he escape from it? His eyes will be on her like flies!
Throughout the school, wherever students gathered, they always mentioned Ye Jian's name. This phenomenon lasted until June.
During June, the weather is so hot that everyone just wants to cool off with cold water.
For Ye Jian, his motivation to learn could not be hindered by the weather, no matter how hot the weather was.
In the teacher's conference room, Ye Jian had already started to study the Ten Grade subjects systematically by receiving extracurricular lessons.
In a state where Ye Jian had a 50% chance of representing the country in the contest, the Nine Class teachers willingly sacrificed their lunch breaks and took turns teaching Ye Jian.
They happily gave a face-to-face lesson to Ye Jian. No teacher who dislikes his students can self-study every subject in Grade Nine in a month and achieve high marks in exams.
It would be the teacher's fault if such talent was ignored...
Two weeks before the final exam of class VIII spring semester, the school finally got information on which students passed the provincial trial.
In total, 18 students, including Gao Yiyang, Ye Ying, Zhou Liao, and Ye Jian, whose names had long been announced, qualified. The next day after the final exam, they were going to head for the provincial capital.
When Sun Dongqing heard about this matter from Ye Zhifan, he was so excited that he was about to light a congratulatory fireworks in front of his house.
Her daughter can go abroad to compete. A pleasure!
“Don't get too excited. Yingying still had to pass two tests,” when Ye Zhifan finished her words, she regretted telling her wife this news. With a straight face, he said in a deep voice. “Not only is Yingying qualified, but Jian is also qualified!”
Sneering coldly, Sun Dongqing said, “Keep why? Can the evil girl defeat Yingying? Don't mention him in front of me. I was annoyed when I said his name! He had only ranked first in the Eighth Grade one time and he had become arrogant! Pshaw! She was the reason Yingying was upset for an entire month.”
“Why do I bother talking to you? I have a meeting in town tonight. You had dinner with Yingying.” Ye Zhifan, who had just returned home, picked up her bag, walked out of her house again. He did not want to spend a single minute with his wife, who had nothing in common with him.
Sun Dongqing looked at her husband's back. A moment later, a cold grin appeared in his eyes. He turned around, went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Ye Ying.
Today is Friday. When school is over, every student who lives on campus will return home. As Ye Jian walked out of the school gate, instead of heading towards the city, he headed in the opposite direction.
The street was full of students returning home wearing school uniforms of the same color. It is impossible to distinguish students from a distance.
Ye Jian had walked about 200 meters. He slowed his steps silently. Someone is tracking him.
Chapter 114: Punishing
“sial, why did he go up the mountain?” said a gum-chewing gangster, wearing a sleeveless sweatshirt, floral shorts, and flip-flops. He looked at the girl who chose a small path on the mountain above that path. “Is his home in the mountain?”
With a tattoo of “pisau” Chinese characters on his arm, a yellow-haired young man stared at his friend. “Should we follow him or not?”
"Let's go!" the youngster with the sleeveless shirt lowered his head to look at the flip-flops on his feet. “Persetan. Go inside and see. In case of any situation, we can report to Brother Liao. You chase him first. Shit I'm wearing the wrong shoes.”
The Liao brothers they were referring to were Liao Jian's father... Youde Liao.
Inside the mountain was Ye Jian's house.
Standing behind the tree, Ye Jian stared coldly at the yellow-haired youth as he walked past. He looked back. There was another boy, swearing and chasing after him.
As the yellow-haired youth walked out of his sight, Ye Jian emerged from behind a tree, standing in front of the youngster wearing a sleeveless t-shirt. Smiling, he said, “Why are you following me?”
His sudden appearance shocked the walking young man with his head bowed. As he recovered from his shock, he recognized who the students were blocking his path.
“Sial, I can't see it.” The yellow-haired youth did not find anyone in front of him, so he turned around and immediately returned.
He left his friend for only three or five minutes. However, when they met again, all he saw was: a muddy washcloth inserted into his friend's mouth, muffling the sound of his struggle he was tied to a pine tree with his hands on his back.
What the hell is going on?!
The return of the best friend did not make the man who had previously worn the sleeveless shirt happy. Instead, he struggled even harder, rolling his eyes upwards crazily.
The grunting sound from his throat could be translated as: Rise! Up top!
Unfortunately, the yellow-haired youth did not understand his intentions. He rushed over to his friend while shouting, “Sial! Who did this?! Who did this!"
“I do this. What are you gonna do?"
Unexpectedly, a girl's voice sounded from above. Instinctively, the yellow-haired youth took a step back before looking up. A girl in school uniform was looking at him while smiling at a tree.
Wasn't she... the girl they just followed?
"Tell me. How far have you been following me? Who sent you?" Ye Jian looked down from the tree with a cold look in his eyes. Her pretty face expression was gloomy and cold like the moon. “If you don't want to end up like your friend, give me every detail before I get mad!”
Young people are most sensitive when someone looks down on them, let alone this young man is a ruthless hoodlum in the city.
Hearing this, the yellow-haired young man became furious. Raise his leg, he kicks the tree. “fuck you, bring it here!” Although his kicks and swearing looked impressive, he did not realize that his friend was so frightened that he would wet his bed.
“I'm afraid you have to run when I get off,” Ye Jian said. Both hands pressed down on the branch, Ye Jian jumped down and landed with a stable posture. Smiling, he glanced towards the yellow-haired youth who was trying to intimidate him. “It looks like you plan to be a fellow sufferer tonight.”
Even without the training he had received in the past few months, Ye Jian could drop these two minions easily.
"My Lord! All right, I'll tell you, okay?” the yellow-haired youth, who was toppled to the ground by Ye Jian, begged for mercy with a coward. “That's Brother Liao. He asked us to stalk you for a few days.”
Chapter 115: I'm Looking for You
Squeezing the man's wrist, Ye Jian placed his hand behind his back. With a smile, he said, “Toooooooo late. Stay with your brother.”
Brother Liao...Youde Liao? Why would he send people to follow him? Does he know anything?
Ye Jian's heart was pounding, but he did not show it on his face. When the man stood up in pain, he tied him to a tree, hands behind him. "I am a student. Gangsters like you scare me the most. I must bind you tighter so that you do not follow me.”
The two gangsters almost cried. Holy hooch! He's the one who scares them, okay?
Walking alongside Ye Ying on the road, Liao Jian said, “Your sister is somehow connected to the army. He usually lives in the New Recruitment Camp in the city, and military vehicles escort him back to his village on Friday.”
“It's hard to discipline him in your way,” said Liao Jian with a sharp look in his eyes. They walked among the crowd of students.
It's true, he's talented. He has built a relationship with the army.
“I definitely underestimated him in the past,” Ye Ying pursed her lips and sneered. He walked a few steps, looking at the winding road towards the depths of the mountain. Frowning, he said, “Where are your friends?”
“They might be in front of us around.” before he finished his words, Liao Jian hid among the crowd of students. “You Jian. On the mountain."
Ye Ying also saw him walking from the mountain slope towards the highway. His gaze, like an extremely poisonous chewing gum, stuck to Ye Jian's back.
A moment later, the corners of his lips formed a sneer that terrified Liao Jian. Slowly, he said, “I have underestimated him, but he should not assume that he can dominate me after he gets his moment.”
The poisonous sharp gaze was almost invisible. Ye Jian, who had punished the two rascals, stopped and turned around, with a metallic sharpness shining in his dark eyes.
If it was Liao Youde who sent henchmen to follow him, what were Ye Ying and Liao Jian doing here?
Was the speculation wrong?
Liao Youde did not send anyone to follow him because of the incident that night. He did this... Because of Ye Ying?
True, as Xia Jinyuan had said, people like Liao Youde could easily be locked up in prison for three to five years. But he was released first... A cold glint flashed across Ye Jian's eyes when he recalled Ye Ying sneaking along with Liao Jian earlier.
Has Ye Zhifan exerted her influence in this matter? Is that why Liao Youde can go home?
Military jeeps are parked around a big street corner. Ye Jian ran into the jeep while thinking about those things.
He had to ask Xia Jinyuan to find out if she had any leads.
In the past two months, he has visited the army several times and trained with the army on weekends. Nevertheless, he had never met that graceful and dangerous man even once.
He wondered if he could meet her this time. Or, he could ask the soldiers about the case.
On Sundays, the sun is even hotter than on Saturdays. Without any wind, the crickets stopped chirping due to the hot sun.
Carrying the sniper rifle on his back, Ye Jian hugged the pine tree with both hands. Breathing softly, he climbed up the tree deftly like a small leopard.
He received close combat training of 30 meters. His rival was none other than a true sniper in the army!
Starting at noon, Ye Jian had been lurking and waiting for ten hours. Gradually, the sun set and the sound of owls rang out from within the forest. Ye Jian remained silent with a calm expression on his face.
