Chapter 101
The final question was about geometry, and it was something which came out of the National Mathematical Olympiad last year. Difficult, but not too difficult!
Ye Jian did not think that she would actually trade gazes with Ye Ying and also make the teacher worry.
Using her pen again, she wrote down the steps which she already had in her head to solve the problem. Finally, she wrote down the correct answer.
A few moments after she had written down the answer on the paper, the paper was immediately taken away from her, and then she heard the teacher say, "Sit down and don’t move yet. You may go after I’ve marked it!"
Now that the first paper was handed in, there would definitely be a few students who would start to feel pressured. Gao Yiyang, who was sitting at the far back, already had his lips
pursed.
…Did she finish it… so quickly? Or was she caught cheating?
No, that’s not right.
If she were caught cheating, the teacher would not look so excited. She also would not be sitting quietly inside the cla.s.sroom.
Then, that would mean she has completed the paper!
With a surprise that was hard to conceal, Gao Yiyang’s eyes were cold. He raised his brow and looked in the direction Ye Ying’s seat.
Seeing the object of his affections entirely focused on doing the questions on the paper without being affected, his brows slowly relaxed.
Standing at the podium, Teacher Zhu was already praising the student as she marked her paper. In such a small amount time, she was able to get all the questions right!
No wonder Princ.i.p.al Cao wanted to come down personally. This middle school definitely had talented students!
While the other students were still taking the a.s.sessment, Ye Jian’s paper
paper had already been marked by Teacher Zhu. "Very good. You
Even without announcing the score, one could tell from her expression that Ye Jian did quite well in the a.s.sessment.
She was eager to meet with Princ.i.p.al Chen. Politely, she said goodbye to the teacher before keeping her ballpoint pen that she had brought to the cla.s.sroom and left.
Behind, there were many gazes looking at her with surprise, but those did not affect Ye Jian’s pace and expression as she left.
Today was not just about the a.s.sessment. The most important thing… still hadn’t been done yet!
"This…Captain Xia, gifted this to you?" In the office, Princ.i.p.al Chen held onto the thin wire and shone it under the light. The cold wire glistened under the light.
Flexible, and tough… This special material was indeed rarely seen.
Without a reason, why did he gift this to her?… What’s more,
What’s more, to gift a suspect’s weapon to the la.s.s?
It was not just the la.s.s who had wanted to know. Even an old man like him also wished to know.
"Since something as good as this was gifted to you, then you should just accept it. If we return this, Captain Xia’s intentions will be in vain." Princ.i.p.al Chen smiled and gestured to Ye Jian. Rolling the wire back, he handed it over to Ye Jian’s clean and white palm. "This is a good item. Since he gave it to you, just keep it."
A precious item! It’ll be beautiful even as a bracelet! The most important thing is: carrying it around isn’t illegal!
Ye Jian was dumbfounded and stuttered, "Isn’t this, this, this…an abuse of power…"
"Ha ha ha…, foolish la.s.s ah." Watching her as she covered her face that was filled with surprise and seeing her dark eyes her dark eyes hiding a faint sense of worry, Princ.i.p.al Chen laughed even more loudly. "La.s.s ah, Captain Xia gifted this to you, so just accept it! There’s no need for any unnecessary worries."
Since Princ.i.p.al Chen said to keep it, then that would mean she could truly keep it!
With a grin, she replied, "Then I shall keep it. Don’t mock me, but I…really like it a lot. It’s just that I was afraid that if I were to accept it, it might affect Captain Xia, so I decided to seek a peace of mind by coming to ask you."
"Clever little ghost." Princ.i.p.al Chen laughed even more brightly. This little la.s.s ah, her heart is truly righteous.
After the round of laughter he had, he asked about the a.s.sessment. Ye Jian raised her brow and gave a smile which glowed brightly. "Rest a.s.sured, I’m a woman of my words."
