Huo Yao sighed and took the books since her language teacher looked at her as though she might cry if Huo Yao refused.
She was clearly reluctant when she took those books.
She felt like dying and could suddenly empathize with how Meng Ying would have felt when she gave her those test papers.
Fine. She decided to spare Meng Ying and stop giving revision material.
After the Head of Math finished looking at her work, he walked over to Huo Yao excitedly.
Just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of the books in Huo Yao’s hands and said, “Why are you reading these? if you have time, you should do more Math questions.”
The moment Chen Yu heard what he said, her temples throbbed suddenly.
She slammed the table hard with both hands and said angrily, “Mr. Fu, are you the only teacher who can give her work? Why can’t I get her to read some books?”
Was he going to take responsibility if Huo Yao failed to become the top scholar in the college entrance exam?
The Head of Math took a few steps back and seemed startled. He instantly went quiet.
Chen Yu looked a little less angry when she saw his reaction. She pulled Huo Yao aside and kept encouraging her to study language diligently before letting her go.
After listening to some inspirational talk from Chen Yu, the Head of Math asked her to come over to talk about some Math questions. Huo Yao yawned as both her teachers talked about their subjects earnestly.
Huo Yao went back to class with a few books from her language teacher along with new questions from the Head of Math.
The moment Meng Ying saw the study material in her arms, she thought that Huo Yao wanted to dump more work on her again. She was so scared that she instinctively said, “Can you please spare me for once? Stop giving me more things to study.”
Huo Yao was dumbfounded.
Meng Ying was on the brink of tears as she said, “Why don’t you give them to Yi Lianfan? He just came looking for you.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched and she lowered her eyes to look at the books and test papers. From the looks of it, she had given too much work to her desk buddy.
Huo Yao pulled out her chair and sat down before she placed the stuff under her desk. “This isn’t for you.”
Meng Ying promptly eased up when she heard this and lay prone on the desk, recovering from shock. “You really scared me there.”
Huo Yao glanced at her. “Why was Yi Lianfan looking for me?”
“I think he wanted to ask you some questions. I told him you were in the teachers’ room, so he asked you to send him a message when you came back,” answered Meng Ying.
Huo Yao reckoned why Yi Lianfan came looking for her. She took out her phone and swiped down to the two pictures she had taken before she left the Head of Math and sent them to him.
They were the solutions for the Math League questions which they did a few days ago.
Since the Math League was not going to return the test papers and she did not want to do them again, she decided to take photos of the solutions which she had just given to the Head of Math.
Before long, Yi Lianfan sent her a text message: [Thanks. Also, congrats for coming first in the Math League.]
Huo Yao simply sent him an emoticon for a smug face.
The moment Yi Lianfan saw the emoticon she sent, he quietly shook his head before he tapped on the phone and replied to her.
[Aren’t you going to ask how much Chen Jie scored in the Math League?]
Huo Yao raised her brow and replied: [I don’t think you should ask me that. You should ask Chen Jie, instead.]
She was already ranked first. Why should she care about anyone else’s results?
Yi Lianfan: [… Friend, you are getting cocky.]
