Other than the occasional coughs from students who were too nervous, the entire examination hall was so quiet that only the sound of writing could be heard.
Ye Jian’s early submission of the exam papers had undoubtedly stimulated the speed of the examinees. Even the invigilator suddenly felt the pressure increase. He stood by the aisle and stared intently at all the students. Once he noticed any suspicious movements, he would immediately walk over to check.
Ye Ying clenched a note tightly. She pretended to be sitting upright and glanced at the empty desk two seats away from her. She kept the note unwillingly.
She actually handed in her papers so early! She couldn’t even take any action!
Wretched girl, count yourself lucky!
There was still an hour and a half left until 11.30 am. The examinees were still writing furiously and engrossed in doing the questions. Accompanying them were also the tireless chirps of the crickets. The chirps were sometimes loud and sometimes rapid, just like how the examinees were feeling right now as they were doing the questions.
“Huh, why is there a child?”
“It can’t be. Why did she come out in just 70 minutes? Which family is she from?”
“Let me see, let me see. Our Provincial No.1 Middle School has a girl called ‘Ye Jian’. My child said that he had taken two mock exams with her. Every time, she would hand in her papers in advance.”
The parents of the students from the Provincial No.1 Middle School stretched their necks and looked at the campus. They immediately recognized the girl who walked over. They exclaimed, “Oh my, it’s really Ye Jian. This child is… amazing, amazing! She finished her exam!”
Ye Jian was not a stranger to the parents of the Provincial No.1 Middle School. Every year, she would be the representative of the entire school for the opening ceremony of the new students. Every time the teachers introduced her results, the parents would gasp at how far ahead she was.
The difference between the first place of the grade and the second place of the grade was not five points, but seventy to eighty points!
Ye Jian planned to go home and cook some dishes. She would eat together with An Jiaxin when she finishes her exam.
When she was a short distance away from the back door of the school, she heard the discussion of the parents. She stopped in her tracks.
She only wanted to rush back and cook a good dish. She forgot that she would be seen by the parents if she came out so early. Ye Jian didn’t think too much and walked towards the teaching building on the left.
“Three o’clock direction.” A familiar, elegant male voice came from the other side of the wall. Ye Jian, who was standing among the shrubbery, looked up in the three o’clock direction with glistening eyes.
The June sun was so bright that it looked like diamonds were scattered everywhere. The girl he loved looked up and smiled brightly at him. “You’re here.”
After knowing her for four years, her smile would always make his heart beat faster. He focused on her eyes that could make the hot air around him dissipate. Xia Jinyuan smiled slowly. “Yes, I’m here.”
Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers just to reach your side, hearing your voice, seeing your smile, saying “you’re here”, all the hard work and fatigue disappear, leaving only joy.
“No one will notice if we go out from here.” Xia Jinyuan, with half of his body appearing in front out of the wall, waved at the girl who was walking towards him. His gaze was warm. “I’ll keep watch for you.”
Letting a Special Forces soldier stand guard over this kind of thing really feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
The distance between the two of them was very close. They were only four to five meters away. Ye Jian walked over and stood on a rock. She looked up and smiled at the man with gentle eyes. “Two years ago, did you climb over the wall from here too?”
