If there were an occasional soft cough from the students due to nervousness, the entire examination hall would become so quiet that only pens rustling sound were heard.
However, Ye Jian1’s early submission had stimulated the candidates greatly as they answered the questions even quicker than before. Even the invigilator suddenly felt the pressure in the hall had increased. Standing on the side of the aisle, he fixed his gaze on all the students, and he would immediately go over to check if he noticed any suspicious actions.
The gloomy Ye Ying squeezed a small note. She pretended to sit upright and looked over at the bottom right of the empty desk, two seats away from her. She put away the small note unwillingly.
Ye Jian actually submitted the paper so early, causing Ye Ying unable to carry out her plan!
Dead girl, lucky you!
There was still an hour and a half. The paper was from 9 to 11:30 in the morning. The candidates were still burying their heads in the question paper. They were accompanied by tireless sighs that were sometimes louder than usual and sounded at random times as if they also had the same mood as the candidates taking the exam.
“Hey, a child came out, what happened?”
“Impossible! It has only been 70 minutes! Whose child is that?”
“Let me see, let me see! Ah, there is a girl named “Ye Jian” in First Provincial High. My child said that she had taken the mock exam twice with her, and every time she would hand in her paper in advance.”
The parents of candidates from First Provincial High all stretched their necks to look. They immediately recognized the girl, and they were all surprised: “Oh! It’s really Ye Jian! That kid is… really amazing! She’s done with her paper!”
Ye Jian was no stranger to the parents of First Provincial High. She was the representative of the entire school in the freshmen opening ceremony every year. Whenever teachers introduced her results, she was always far ahead.
The difference between the students who got first place and the second place was not merely five to ten points, but seventy to eighty points!
Ye Jian planned to go home and fry some food. Then, she would wait for An Jiaxin to return from her exam and eat together with her.
When she walked a short distance from the school’s back door, Ye Jian couldn’t help but stop when she heard the parents’ comments about her.
She just wanted to rush back to cook up some food… She forgot that she would be seen by the parents if she came out too early. Without much thought, Ye Jian ran to the left end of the teaching building.
“Three o’clock direction.” A familiar and elegant male voice sounded from the other side of the wall. Ye Jian, who was standing in the bushes, was surprised. Her eyes flashed brightly like sunshine, and she looked to her three o’clock direction.
The sunshine in June was so bright that it was like handfuls of broken diamonds spreading everywhere, and the girl he loved raised her eyes and smiled at him: “You are here.”
After knowing her for four years, her smile could still make his heart beat faster. He concentrated on her eyes; they could disperse the heat he was feeling. Xia Jinyuan2 smiled slowly, “Yes, I’m here.”
Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, just to walk to you, to hear your voice, to see your smile, and to listen to you say a single sentence “you are here”, all the hardship and fatigue suddenly disappeared, and only joy was left.
“Take this route out, no one will notice.” Xia Jinyuan, with half of his body exposed, waited for the girl who was approaching and waving to him. He stared at her with his warm gaze that was signaling to her, “I’ll keep a watch out for you.”
To ask a special soldier to keep a watch out on this kind of thing was really subtle.
The distance between the two was very close, only about four or five meters away. Ye Jian stood on the rock among the weeds, looked up, and smiled at the soft-eyed man, “Did you also climb over the wall here last year?”
