Chapter 76: Walking Out of the Mountains

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 classroom and being unusually quiet.

Hearing the footsteps of someone entering the classroom, 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 classmates waved at her. Ye Jian stopped looking at Liao Jian and walked over to her classmates, 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 classroom. Right now, both the No.1 Scholar in liberal arts and science were in the classroom.

Before Ye Jian could sit down, Zhang Na, the No.1 scholar in liberal arts, said excitedly, “The competition 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 Competition in which every Eighth Grader and Ninth Grader in the province can participate! We are going to register later, and the staff from the No.1 Middle School will come to our school next Saturday!” 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 competition.

Zhang Na glanced at him and then looked at Ye Jian. Eyes twinkling, she smiled and said, “Ye Jian, how about you? Physics? Chemistry? You’ve done pretty well in physics in the two quizzes recently.”

Her speech put pressure on the boy who intended to register for the chemistry competition. “Ye Jian is quite good at Chinese!”

In less than a month, the reborn Ye Jian was qualified enough to challenge the best students in her class!

The top three students in this round of competition could receive extra bonuses, which would be a huge advantage for anyone who wanted to enter the Provincial Experimental No.1 Middle School through the high school entrance exam!

These innocent students could not conceal their thoughts at all. Ye Jian thought while reading the competition registration form. She raised her head and smiled, “Hand me the pen.”

As she bent over to write, a string of beautiful English words, which could be used in advertisements, appeared on the Test Subject column of the registration form.

“Eng… English? Can you do this? We didn’t learn English until we were at Grade Seven!” said Zhang Na, dumbfounded.

“I’m registering for English first. According to the instructions, a candidate can register for several subjects at the same time; and not all the exams will be held concurrently, they are going to be conducted throughout several sessions.” Ye Jian put down the pen, smiling. She seemed very confident and calm. “I will take the exams after you guys.”
