Chapter 126: Outperforming Everyone
In this exam, Ye Jian had to try his best to become one of the 12 students who could enter the contest on behalf of the country.
Xia Jinyuan competed in the World Science Olympiad held in England. Even though it happened almost six years ago, a little bit more he was able to share some of his experiences.
It took an hour from school to the shooting range. During this trip, Ye Jian concentrated on talking to him about the competition.
Every now and then, they look each other in the eye. Every time they did this, School Head Chen found it hard to partake in their conversation.
The next day, more than 200 students underwent stricter examinations than the college entrance examination, before they entered the examination hall.
This time the eighth grade and ninth grade students took the exam in separate rooms. As Ye Jian walked slowly into the examination hall, he saw Gao Yiyang and Ye Ying standing before the door and talking about something. Gao Yiyang lowered his head, while Ye Ying raised his head high.
“Excuse me,” Ye Jian said clearly. The door was blocked by them. “Or you can talk outside, thank you.”
Ye Ying glanced at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Instead of leaving, he said to Gao Yiyang, “Go to your examination room. I'll be fine. Thank you for training me every night during this period of time. Anyway, I will do my best!”
Uh. Unlike someone who thinks too much about himself and does not study in class at night.
"Uh huh's. Meet me in front of the flowerbed of this building after the exam.” Gao Yiyang moved aside, letting Ye Jian enter the classroom from the space between them.
Gently and deliberately, he looked at the girl. He saw an almost perfect profile pass through his eyes.
Ye Jian stared ahead coldly without looking around. He walked into the classroom.
He was so cold and unattached that he could ignore others...
After glancing at Ye Jian's face, Gao Yiyang slightly lowered his eyes. As he tightened his lips, he turned around, leaving the eighth grade examination hall.
“Just wait, Ye Jian! I will humiliate you until you are too embarrassed to show up at school!” As the boy left, Ye Ying caught up with Ye Jian. As he passed Ye Jian, he whispered in a gloomy tone with a smile on his face, “I will make you regret it completely!”
Ye Jian pursed his lips, looking at Ye Ying. He didn't bother to pay it back. And then, he sat on the chair where his name was written.
Looking at Ye Ying's face, which became gloomy in an instant, she realized that ignorance was more annoying than response.
As the math exam papers were distributed, some of the students were shocked. It's hard! The exam is a bit difficult!
Ye Jian looked at the teachers who entered the room with chalk boxes and laser pens. He slightly narrowed his pitch-black eyes.
This exam is not that easy. It will not be done like a normal test.
His premonition is always right. About ten minutes later, Ye Jian finished the matter on Page A and Page B of the exam paper. “Please listen to the question,” the supervisor said suddenly.
Without giving the examinee time to prepare, the teachers had read out a series of questions.
While the other students were still thinking about the question on the exam paper, Ye Jian put down his pen, stood up and gave a correct answer.
“The answer is true.” The teachers looked at Ye Jian in admiration. He sat down and continued answering questions on Page C and Page D of the exam paper.
Only after he sat down did the other students realize what had happened.
It's true, it's a rather special test. Not only do they need to write down the answers on paper, but they also need to be aware of the verbal questions from the teacher over time.
Oral questions that are done every two minutes really disturb the attention of many students. They were so nervous they could barely hold a pen steadily, let alone answer questions.
Ye Jian did not give Ye Ying a chance to stand, or rather, he did not give any chance to the students in the entire examination hall. The pen in his hand did not stop writing as he answered the question the teacher asked.
Unwittingly, Ye Jian's presence had brought tremendous pressure to the entire student.
Chapter 127: Jealousy Makes Him Crazy
When the math exam was over, some of the girls left the class crying. Seeing them, Ye Jian sighed softly in his heart.
Only 12 students will be selected nationally. Therefore, he must pass the examination!
When the two subjects in the morning are finished, the broadcast announces the names and grades of the top ten students.
All of the top ten students obtained full marks in the examination!
However in terms of exam completion time, Ye Jian was much more advanced.
Clik. A pen was broken into two pieces by the moody Ye Ying. He tightened his lips. Her previously pretty eyes were covered in shadows.
“It is said that Ye Jian is a student of the township high school..Fuck, the No.1 Provincial High School student is inferior to him.”.
“He handed over the exam papers so quickly. I sat on his left side. He has submitted the paper before I can answer the question in one page.”
Several students walked past Ye Ying, and their emotional remarks tormented her greatly. Hatred and hatred had changed her beautiful face.
"What do you think?" While holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand, Gao Yiyang walked towards Ye Ying. From a distance, he saw her standing still as if thinking of some questions and not knowing that she was being roasted by the scorching sun.
Ye Ying shrugged his shoulders slightly. She turned around with a delicate disappointed expression on her beautiful face. “Ye Jian won and I lost. What should I do, Gao Yiyang? I let you down.”
He was not as confident as before. And the sadness he showed made Gao Yiyang believe that the girl in front of him was very sincere, and was not a so-called hypocrite.
“Not a big deal, Ye Ying. If this world is a pyramid, there are people who definitely stand at the top, there are also those who stand at the bottom, ”said Gao Yiyang in a realistic way. His intention was to hope that Ye Ying did not care too much about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ying could barely control the look on her face after hearing her words.
Did he mean that Ye Jian was the one who was at the top of the pyramid while he was just beneath it?
“Again, you didn't lose, so you didn't let me down. Come on, Ye Ying.” Gao Yiyang did not lower his head to observe the facial expression of the girl beside him. His mind was no more calm than Ye Ying's. It was true to say that none of the students were able to maintain their composure after hearing Ye Jian's grades and the time it took him to clear the examination.
Unfortunately, Ye Ying did not hear a single word of his. After saying goodbye to Gao Yiyang, he threw the broken pen into the trash. Rather than directly going to the dormitory, he headed to the grocery store at school with a rough expression on his grim face.
Just wait and see. He would never let that evil girl continue to shine!
The students, as well as the teachers of each city, were astonished by Ye Jian's extraordinary appearance.
Xia Jinyuan, who had noticed Ye Jian's appearance, heard his score from the broadcast for two days. Looking at the calm and confident girl in front of him, he smiled with his unexpected black mouth and eyes. “No wonder Principal Chen said that you do not need to attend closed learning sessions in the next 15 nights.”
Ye Jian did not notice it. His black eyes were slightly bright, staring at the dangerous man who had appeared before him for two days in a row. Alert, he said, “Why did you know before I knew it?”
What he cares about is always very interesting. And her little face looked very alert. He couldn't help but tease her.
Chapter 128: Understanding Comes From Contact
"You want to know why?" He lifted the corner of his lips. Without the restraints of his military uniform, his extraordinarily graceful and noble disposition was visible from his gentle smile.
Side profile contour perfect. As he smiled, the corner of his eyes shot upwards, showing a faint hint of mischief. It was a masculine charm that would make a woman flutter and subconsciously look at her.
Perhaps Xia Jinyuan was also aware of this. So, she only smiled gently with her mouth, while the look of her deep eyes remained silent.
Nevertheless, in front of Ye Jian, he had always indulged himself with exceptions. As long as he did not go on a mission, he would not hold back his charm. Instead, he communicated with her in a natural and sincere way.
Ye Jian frowned slightly. And then, with a scornful smile, he said, “I don't want to know. Anyway, I already know what I want to know.”
Even though she liked to tease him, she knew she had to stop when she saw the clear expression on her face.
“Chief School Chen said that he hopes you can participate in a more real fight, but he is a bit worried.” This girl had always been hiding behind layers of shields as she sensed something was amiss. All he could do was be more patient with her. “I'll be waiting for you at the school entrance at six. I'll train with you next week.”
Hearing this, Ye Jian took a deep and slow breath. And then, he said, “I hope I don't cause problems for you.” So, he would be her instructor for the next seven nights.
"Absolutely not. Instead, I am very interested in this,” Xia Jinyuan said, casually enjoying the change in Ye Jian's facial expression. His eyes, which were black like ancient wells, did not hide his interest in teaching him.
His mischievous tone gave Ye Jian a severe headache. There seems to be an insinuation behind his words. However, there is none. He just thinks too much.
Xia Jinyuan held back her smile when she saw him frowning. There was an undeniable ferocity in his casual posture. “You can have dinner in the cafeteria first. If you do not appear at the entrance of the school at exactly six o'clock, you must go yourself to the firing range.”
Just as Ye Jian was about to speak, he suddenly felt someone staring at him gloomily. As he nodded to answer Xia Jinyuan, he moved to the side, looking for the direction of the gaze with the corner of his eyes.
“Someone is behind a tree at twelve o'clock on your right. She is a student from a city high school with long hair on her shoulders.” Xia Jinyuan raised her long hand, putting it on Ye Jian's shoulder. He created the illusion that he was pushing Ye Jian away, making him turn around to return to school.
In doing so, he made Ye Jian face directly to the sycamore tree.
At a glance, Ye Jian knew who the girl who was hiding secretly behind the tree was. Who else besides Ye Ying?
Hiding behind a tree, and without blinking, Ye Ying looked at the man who looked familiar with Ye Jian. The smile on his face was cruel and gloomy.
Too bad he doesn't have a camera. Otherwise, he would take pictures of them and paste their photos on the school board. Oh. This way, not even School Head Chen could explain why Ye Jian was so close to a man!
Chapter 129: Man, Natural Predator
At six o'clock, the sunset drew its last ray of sunshine. The flaming light was covered by a layer of clouds.
As the summer holidays begin, the No.1 Provincial High School looks very quiet at sunset. On the banks of Swan Lake, two pairs of ducks live among the aquatic plants, hugging each other by the neck and enjoying a quiet time.
Ye Jian walked out of the school, opened the car door and sat in the car... Exactly six o'clock.
Xia Jinyuan had mixed feelings about her punctuality.
He arrived no earlier or later than six o'clock. Was he so reluctant to spend another minute with her?
“You arrived on time. Aren't you afraid we'll be delayed because of something on the way there?” Xia Jinyuan started the car with a smile. He asked Ye Jian, who was still wearing his school uniform, “Ye Jian, you arrived on time for three days in a row. Do you hate me so much that you don't want to spend another minute with me?”
Similarly, he just said “thank you and goodbye” to him when they came back. As she got out of the car, she left gracefully without looking back.
On the first day, he thought he would turn around and wave at her after she entered the school gate. On the second day, he had thought he would show up ten minutes early. On the third day, he had no hope.
He would suffer heartache if he got into a dispute with this insensitive girl.
Sometimes, Xia Jinyuan's smile was vaguely indistinguishable like a subtle ripple but also mysterious like a deep and unfathomable ancient well.
Every time this extremely handsome and graceful man smiled at him, Ye Jian felt that the air around him would become so thin that every breath he breathed was filled with a faint scent of mint from him.
He is always calm and calm when he is with others. However, in front of Xia Jinyuan, she felt awkward.
Hearing this, he pursed his lips to show his usual calmness. Calmly, he said, “I'm very punctual. Captain Xia, you can arrive at exactly six o'clock every day so you don't have to wait too long. I will keep my promise, even though I may be delayed because of something.”
“But what if I want to come early to wait for you?” Xia Jinyuan stopped her car before the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the green traffic light. He tilted his head. As he looked at the calm expression on Ye Jian's face, he slightly raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to change the AC a little cooler? You look... very sexy.”
Of course, she's hot! To arrive on time, he ran all the way here. The weather is still hot, even after sunset!
Not to mention the man sitting next to her always said something that could cause misunderstandings. As a mature woman, wouldn't it be natural for her to feel awkward?
Ye Jian could not shake off his awkward feelings—which always appeared in his mind every time they met—until he several times reminded himself that the man was 20 years old.
As he calmed down, his facial expression became even brighter. As the green traffic light lit up, Ye Jian turned to smile at Xia Jinyuan, who released her masculine charm. “Of course I feel hot because I ran all the way here. What can I do? I can't let you go without me, Captain Xia.”
Her smile was beautiful and refreshing like a blossoming flower. The beauty of her black eyes made the reddish clouds in the sky look dwarfed.
Xia Jinyuan was caught off guard. Her smile, along with “What can I do” is visible in her eyes. They even seemed to have stuck in his mind.
“Captain Xia, if you are not driving, traffic police may come.” His confusion made Ye Jian smile. There was a subtle smile on his black eyes. Tut! He can play using his tricks, okay?!
Chapter 130: Who Becomes the Prey
From her slightly arrogant smile, Xia Jinyuan realized that she was launching an attack on him... Tut, tut, tut. He is a little fox. He had learned how to counterattack this fast.
“Interesting, Ye Jian,” Xia Jinyuan replied, raising her eyebrows and smiling elaborately. Driven by a series of drivers behind him, he starts his car.
That girl is smart. But he did not realize that men were natural predators.
And Xia Jinyuan was an elite predator. The more witty and cunning he is, the greater his attraction to her.
Ye Jian did not understand the so-called ‘predasi’ humans. But he realized that the implications behind his words were beyond the reach of ordinary communication.
To him, dealing with a graceful yet dangerous man was indeed a bit interesting.
He raised his black eyebrows, tilted his head, and leaned his elbow against the car window. Smiling, he glanced at the beautiful side profile of the noble and arrogant man. "What should I do? I think this is also a bit interesting,” he said slowly.
“Captain Xia, tell me, who is more interested in others?”
Who is more interested in others? It's hard to say, at least from now on... Xia Jinyuan smiled casually. “Ye Jian, you are 14 years old while I am a 20 year old adult male. And you want to discuss this topic with me? Whaddya think? Who is more interested in others?”
The language is very deep. A sentence spoken by different people can have different meanings.
Ye Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. She was a grown woman, not a 14 year old girl. Previously, he had not realized what Xia Jinyuan actually meant by saying “pulling.”
But at this moment, by looking into her wide and brilliant eyes like a starry night, she understood what made this graceful man interested in her.
If this was a hunting game, he wouldn't mind trying it out. Just wait and see who will be the prey!
He sat down, leaning towards the man who was driving. It seemed that starlight was scattered in his watery eyes. Smiling, he looked at her without blinking.
“Captain Xia, unlike you, I know nothing. Besides, I'm only 14. What do you mean by saying 'who is more interested in the other person?' Can you enlighten me?”
He was so close to her that her orchid-like scent swayed around the tip of her nose.
Her pretty eyes, with sharp black and white contrasts, were pure like stars, but also contained the appeal of a woman.
It was this unique beauty that made her subconsciously forget that she was a 14-year-old teenage girl.
Does he have a crush on her?
No, he was clearly saying that what he said had nothing to do with “naksir”. It's just that, as a man, he has little interest in a woman.
At the same time, he realized that the woman he was interested in was only 14 years old. Therefore, his attraction to women was pure and not about passion. He just wanted to take care of her, waiting for her to grow up.
“Do not be silly, Nak.” Xia Jinyuan raised her hand, gently squeezing the tip of her pretty nose. With 30% seriousness and 70% leeway in his clear voice, he said, “I'm interested in you, but not interested in your thoughts. Don't think too much, Son.”
