Bang!

Pei Song tossed a book at Ren Qian.

"If you have the time, why don't you use it to learn new vocabulary? You won't have to stand aside and listen to people reading your narration next time."

Ren Qian smiled bitterly. "Fine, I'll learn, I'll learn. What's so hard about that? The thing is, I'm certain that many other of our classmates share the same thought as me."

Pei Song was taking notes on his book and his hand froze when he heard Ren Qian.

..........

"Lil Ci, what's going on with Ning Li? I thought students in Lincheng had terrible English!"

Cheng Xiangxiang's anger exploded right after the class ended. She had been holding back her temper for the entire class.

If she had known that Ning Li was proficient in English, she would not have mocked her in front of the class. Now, every word that she had uttered to Ning Li felt like a slap to her own face.

Ye Ci frowned. "I have no idea either. Sister Ning Li did not say a thing about that before "

"She must be doing it on purpose!" Cheng Xiangxiang was furious with embarrassment. She turned around to the corner of the classroom where Ning Li was sitting.

The seat was empty though.

Mathematics class was next, but Ning Li had left. Although she was not in the class, the other students were talking about what happened earlier and the topic was gathering attention quickly.

Cheng Xiangxiang even heard her name being mentioned a few times. She knew her classmates were laughing at her although she was not part of those discussions.

Ye Ci was quiet for a moment before she said softly, "Speaking of Sister Ning Li, her accent is really similar to our class monitor, Pei Song's."

Cheng Xiangxiang was hit with an epiphany after hearing what Ye Ci said. "You're right! It's really similar!"

She glanced at Pei Song a few times and acted all suspicious.

"Our class monitor practiced the play with Ning Li for the whole week, but based on what I know, Pei Song isn't that kind ofN patient character. I think Ning Li must have secretly learned it from him."

Cheng Xiangxiang pouted. "Pei Song used to live in the UK, hence the accent. But what about Ning Li? What's her background? Did she learn the accent just because she can act cool in front of all of us?"

Ye Ci did not reply. She quietly tidied up the notes on her table and walked out of the classroom.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiangxiang saw the Physics textbook in Ye Ci's hands. She asked, "Lil Ci, are you going to the competitive Physics class?"

Ye Ci nodded.

"The teacher in charge asked me a few times before, but I said no. However, I found competitive Physics interesting lately, so since I have the time recently, I want to give it a try."

Ye Ci had obtained a perfect score in her Physics paper during her second year, so the competitive Physics class sent her an invitation. However, because she was preparing for Huatsing Cup's competition at the time, she had rejected it.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou will let me join the class now." she said with a slightly worried tone.

Cheng Xiangxiang said, "Of course, you can! But there's one thing you need to know: if you really join the class, you will have to face Ning Li again."
