“That’s just alright. You make it sound as though the teachers weren’t amazed when we did our experiment.”
Ding Nuan thought nothing of it. Back at the Ding family’s house, she and Ding Xing met.
“You’ve got balls.” Ding Nuan pointed at him. “How dare you lie to me? I heard your hand was functioning well in the exam room. How could you have recovered so quickly? You didn’t have any broken bones at the time, but you lied to all of us. You even accused me of being ruthless to you. Hehe, Ding Xing, you’ve really grown up. Don’t you know that your parents depend on my mother for a living? What’s your family without my mother?”
Ding Xing looked at Ding Nuan coldly. “Ding Nuan, what are you without your mother? You’re nothing.”
“You…” Ding Nuan was so angry that her lips turned white. However, Ding Xing had already left.
Ding Xing had finally hardened his resolve. This time, after saying everything he wanted to say, he did not feel the fear and worry he had imagined. Instead, he felt very refreshed.
Where there was a will, there was a way. Perhaps if he made a plea with his aunt, their family could live better lives as they wouldn’t have to live by the whims of others anymore.
On the day of the results, everyone was very nervous. Only Tong Xieyi did not come. Clearly, she did not care about the results.
Tong Qin, on the other hand, was here. She wanted to see Tong Xieyi’s defeat and also see what kind of person had defeated Tong Xieyi.
She cared a lot about this! Damn her!
Someone actually defeated Tong Xieyi before she could completely defeat her. This made her very dissatisfied. She should be the one to defeat Tong Xieyi!
‘And Tong Qin didn’t come alone…’
“I apologize for not welcoming you earlier, Mr. Long.” The dean had done something to indulge in Tong Xieyi, but his judgment was still sharp. After all, he was still the dean. He personally welcomed Long Xian. He was satisfied to see Long Xian, one of the Four Gods, with his own eyes.
Not far from Long Xian stood the only person who had not left Lanca Academy—Lan Ran. He came today as Lan Yu’s guardian.
Long Xian and Lan Ran stood not far away from each other. The way the dean looked at the two of them was obvious.
One was glamorous and was the pride of the entire Lanca. The other was the stain of Lanca Academy that would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!
The dean guessed that the former dean, Zhou Rusheng, would probably hate this student very much. Otherwise, his career would have been even more exciting and perfect.
The dean’s disgusted gaze quickly slid away.
Lan Yu stood beside Lan Ran, still straight-backed.
Lan Ran looked at him sideways, a little curious. “Why did you agree to let me come today?”
In the past, he had always avoided him like the plague.
“Teacher Sheng said that no one should affect my path forward. I should be focused.”
As Lan Yu spoke, he wondered if his brother would be willing to return to the academy to continue his studies after seeing his growth.
Lan Ran couldn’t help but chuckle. He usually argued with Sheng Yang and had disagreements with her. Now, it seemed that he should listen to her opinion a little.
‘I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult, though. It’s only normal for scientific talents to be stubborn.’
The dean arranged for Long Xian to sit in the main seat while he sat on the side. His intention to please was obvious.
Long Xian did not nod or refuse. His attitude was very ambiguous, but in the face of the dean’s arrangement, he accepted it directly and sat down gracefully.
Below the rostrum, the students were whispering.
“That’s Mr. Long.”
“Someone said he’s 80. Is that true?”
“With that face, it’s impossible. He’s 30 at most.”
