Ye Tianxin looked at Li Xiaohui, confused. “What do you mean?”
Li Xiaohui was so worried that her chest hurt. “Don’t you remember your bet with Ye Youran?” she reminded Ye Tianxin. “The loser has to do a rabbit dance during the flag-raising ceremony.”
“Oh, I’ve really forgotten about that!” Ye Tianxin admitted.
Ye Tianxin had been very busy. She had to study and take care of her grandmother. Such things had no room in her mind.
Li Youran could not help but feel anxious at Ye Tianxin’s reply. Ye Youran’s grades had improved remarkably during this period. This was something they had all witnessed. However, the problem was that they had all heard that Ye Tianxin’s grandmother had fallen ill, and Ye Tianxin had missed so many classes. Do they even have to talk about her grades?
“Di Shanshi, let Tianxin look at your notes,” someone suggested.
Di Shanshi took off his glasses and nodded.
“Do you think that you will do better than Youran just because you have Di Shanshi’s notes?” a female classmate asked, mocking Ye Tianxin.
She was actually jealous of Ye Tianxin.
Jiameng was a small town. Before Ye Tianxin had applied to the film academy, many had no idea that such a school existed.
Furthermore, Ye Tianxin had entered the next selection round with the highest scores.
Girls their age were all vain and shallow.
Everyone wanted to be a star like ‘Chunxue’.
Everyone wanted to wear nice clothes.
They all wanted these.
However, they didn’t know that this was a path they could take.
Girls from small towns did not know much about the world. When they filled out their college applications, they would only pick majors that can help them find jobs easily. There were not many who would choose ‘unpopular’ courses. They were afraid to explore.
All eyes were on Ye Tianxin as she entered the classroom. Some were happy to see her; the others glared at her.
It was because she was wearing a dress and looked so beautiful. She was blooming and happy. The girls could only roll their eyes in jealousy.
“That’s right. Do you think you can muddle through again this time just because you made it last time?
Ye Tianxin did not want to argue with these girls, so she remained silent. However, to others, her silence meant timidity.
For them, it was proof that Ye Tianxin would not be able to beat Ye Youran in the exams.
“Oh, you’re quiet now. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to beat Youran in the exams?”
Li Xiaohui slammed her hands on the table and stood up”What do you all mean?” she yelled. “Have you forgotten that Tianxin’s grandmother is ill? She has to take care of her. How will she be able to study?”
“Li Xiaohui, why are you so agitated? Don’t you think that Ye Tianxin would be able to beat Ye Youran? Do you doubt Ye Tianxin’s abilities? If Ye Tianxin can’t beat Youran, then she can just admit defeat. Youran is a gracious person and will not hold this against Ye Tianxin. Right, Youran?”
Ye Youran lifted her head and looked at Ye Tianxin confidently.
She didn’t do well in the exams the last time they had competed. That was because she had underestimated Ye Tianxin since she was not prepared for the sudden competition.
But this time, she did nothing but study. Defeating Ye Tianxin was a piece of cake.
“Ye Tianxin, do you still want to compete?”
Ye Tianxin took out her pencil case from her bag calmly. She did not look at Ye Youran. Instead, she answered softly, “Ye Youran, you haven’t greeted me yet. Have you forgotten that I am your elder sister? How could you?”
Ye Youran’s face flushed slightly when she heard that. She gripped her pencil tightly.
“Ye Tianxin, you’re so arrogant!”
