Now that they could see some hope, the parents were unusually grateful towards Ye Jian!
And it was also on this day that An Jiaxin knew, although Lee Qian was a bit chubby, and was even self-abased… she was actually from a rich family! Especially Zhang Yueyan. According to Zhang Bin, the car her dad drove was something upwards of a million dollars!
With that in mind, An Jiaxin really wanted to have a chat with Ye Jian right now and calm her nerves in the process!
With both hands being tightly squeezed by Zhang Yueyan’s mother, An Jiaxin’s face stiffened. Trying her best to flag a natural smile, she replied in an elegant voice, “Aunty, I’ll definitely tell Ye
Jian when I get back, but I really cannot accept Aunty’s gifts in her stead.”
“Ye Jian never expected, nor wanted, gifts for teaching us our homework. Aunty, you needn’t be this kind. I’ve known Ye Jian for five years now, and I know her too well. If I accepted your gifts for her today, I’d get punished to write at least ten test papers when she returns.”
“Aunty, won’t your heartache if you see me writing ten papers? Doing homework during the holidays is too terrible.”
An Jiaxin teased, but not in a fool’s manner. She did it with good emotional intelligence and with just a few words, she made the parents around start laughing, as they started making fun of her: “Isn’t that good, and here we’re hoping Ye Jian would also punish them and make them write a few more tests!”
“Ma, you shouldn’t apply the ways of adults into our dorm. I’ve already told you Ye Jian wouldn’t want them, yet you still insist.” Yunnan province was snowing heavily, and Zhang Yueyan wore a red down jacket as she sat on her bedside. She said in a helpless tone, “Ye Jian really doesn’t need it, you and Pa should bring it home.”
Zhang Yueyan took the lead, and Liu Lizhen and the three other girls also made their parents take back their gifts.
Staring at the high-class bags placed inside the dorm room, An Jiaxin rubbed her forehead. Being together with a bunch of rich people… is really stressful. If she really accepted those gifts, in case she lost one or two of them, she won’t even be able to pay them back!
She absolutely mustn’t accept the gifts; even if she did, she could not give it to Ye Jian!
The moment the finals were over, Ye Jian left the school on the same day and had already told her earlier that she wouldn’t be coming back to pick up the letter of notice, nor will she return to the village…That’s why, where Ye Jian is currently at, she also doesn’t know.
It was snowing heavily in Yunnan province; meanwhile, it was sunny in Hainan. Blue skies and clear water, bright sun and beach birds, not even an ounce of winter was here.
Ye Jian, who was under the warm sun, didn’t have an opportunity to enjoy all this. Her Hell’s training had entered the stage of Endurance testing. She must finish six very torturous tests in a set amount of time, and all of her tests must achieve excellent gradings!
Reverse crawl 50 meters within 25 seconds, overcome all set obstacles within 20 seconds, finish a 2000 meter run in 15 minutes, and swim 150 meters in full combat load!
After she was done with those four tasks, there was no time to rest. She must remove all her combat gear in 30 seconds, do 50 situps every minute, and do 50 pushups every minute!
If the last six tasks were finished independent of each other, Ye Jian wouldn’t have batted an eye, but doing those tasks after she had just finished a hard-core training, she laid down on the ground with a sore body. She’d be able to fall asleep right away even if the place she was lying down on was a dirty sewer!
“Your stamina is lacking; it looks like you’ll need to eat more and improve your body. By the time you passed the last two tasks, lassie, you still needed to complete a 30 thousand meter urgent march, and you must arrive at the destination before the set time.”
After completing 50 pushups, Ye Jian straight up laid down in the shrub leaves. In her camo uniform, her eyes stared into the clear skies; she replied while gulping in large breaths, “One week, Uncle Chen, give me one week’s time, I’ll definitely pass all six tests.”
Winter break was very short; she’ll have to grasp onto time to improve herself. Hard work was inevitable, but the fruit of her work would benefit her for the rest of her life.
