Chapter 1001: Don’t Want Her To Attend Exams
Hearing her say that, An Jiaxin spoke matter of factly: “She’s tired after her journey and is resting now, so we came over to have dinner together. Didn’t you come over at noon to ask me when is Ye Jian1 coming back and you needed her help to solve a question? Hm, now you can go ask her at night.”
It was fine as long as she didn’t bring that up when she brought it up, Meng Wen’s complexion changed, and she said poutily, “Weren’t you the one who said she might even skip the midterm exams? Why did she come back before then?”
“That’s right, I said she might, I didn’t say she definitely would.” An Jiaxin scooped rice into her mouth and didn’t notice Meng Wen’s expression was slightly unusual, “I saw that she seemed quite tired and I’m afraid that to rush back before exams, she didn’t even properly rest up at home.”
The moment Meng Wen heard that her expression seemed more discontent, there was also a hint of resentful disappointment. “Why go so far? Going so far as to rush back to school just because of exams? Doesn’t she need any rest? She was so tired she fell asleep the moment she returned to school. It would’ve been better if she came back after resting for a couple more days.”
“What’s the difference between resting at home and resting in school? If she took a couple more days to rest, what if she only returned on the day of the midterms? Wouldn’t that be…” An Jiaxin answered with the flow. While speaking, it was as if she had figured something out and stared at Meng Wen. Her eyeballs eyed Meng Wen up and down, and after a long while, she let out a long “Oh oh oh…”
“Oh”-ing Meng Wen, who was uncomfortable from her stares until she straightened her face, she harrumphed: “What are you ‘oh’-ing about! Acting strange and all!”
An Jiaxin started chuckling, “‘Oh’ you ah, ‘oh’ me ah. Meng Wen ah Meng Wen, you’re really really… adorable in an embarrassing way. Hahaha, now I know why when Jian-er was absent, you came over every other day to ask me when she was coming back and whether or not she would be able to make it for the midterms.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so calculative in your heart, huh! Hahaha, dear Meng Wen, your thoughts aren’t proper, huh! Did you forget everything you’ve learned in the week of military boot camp?”
Yang Yi and the others listened to what An Jiaxin said in confusion. None of them realized what they were talking about, but the face of Meng Wen, who understood what she meant, was tinged red. She glared: “Don’t you spout nonsense! I didn’t think anything like that!”
“What do you mean you didn’t think anything like that? What are you two talking about? Why don’t we get it?”
“Isn’t asking when Ye Jian is coming back to attend the midterms normal? Jia Xin, what are you trying to say?”
“I’m not trying to say anything. You girls ask Meng Wen, ask her, ask her.” An Jiaxin didn’t expose Meng Wen’s little tricks. The present her also knew how to stay in line. She knew that some things would be fine if she herself knew about, there’s no need to announce it to the world to prevent embarrassing someone else.
This could be counted as a type of growth, a growth that happened without noticing. Knowing that sometimes you’ll have to give people the benefit of the doubt, and understand that there’s no need to be so fussy, learn how to be lenient and generous.
Meng Wen saw An Jiaxin didn’t rat her out and immediately let out a breath of relief. Then, she noticed her other classmates were pestering her with questions. She thought about having her dinner in the neighboring room, but she was afraid that An Jiaxin would talk behind her back after leaving, so she sat in a corner and sulked by herself.
The midterms this time were crucial. It was very likely it would be a reference point for prestigious universities to process admissions. Ye Jian was so impressive, so why should she contend with the other students for the admissions slot? Having a ‘zero’ on one of her midterms wouldn’t even affect her getting into a prestigious university.
Meng Wen, who was making calculations in her mind, pursed her lips tightly. She even seemed robotic while having dinner.
Looking at her acting like this, An Jiaxin laughed in her mind until she almost lost her breath. It seems like she didn’t want Ye Jian to come back and attend the exams.
