“Look at all of you, your grades are messed up and you still don’t work hard! You all still think that you’re amazing? Learn from Ye Jian if you’re amazing, if you’re even half as amazing as Ye Jian, I won’t be bothered with you even if you sleep in class!”
Two years in high school, Ye Jian had always been an existence used for comparison. She would be used to being compared every day; it had never stopped.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if someone didn’t know her.
It’s precisely because they knew her; they saw a strong young man suddenly beside her, their gaze stayed longer than usual.
” Who is that man? His gaze is so frightening.”
” Should be Ye Jian’s elder brother, both of them look quite alike. The way they walk, their expression…… are quite alike, just like brothers.”
” Have you turned silly? Ye Jian doesn’t have an elder brother, she is the only child at home, how can he be her elder brother? But they really look alike, cousins? A distant relative?”
It was the peak of school at 7:20 in the morning. There were many people at the front gate; there were also many people at the back gate. The students who passed by would usually pay attention to Ye Jian; some would even head over to greet her, but there was none today; they all looked in silence and then walked away in silence.
” Why did she become so thin? Did she fall ill?”
” She’s thin, but she doesn’t seem to be ill, she seems to be in good spirits.”
” Who’s the person beside her, he’s quite handsome, but his gaze is a little scary, I don’t dare to take an extra glance.”
The soft discussions clearly entered the ears of the two; some were vague and couldn’t be heard clearly.
Whatever heard would not affect Xia Jinyuan. With a smile on his thin lips, he walked gracefully with Ye Jian as they headed to the school, “Everyone says you’re thinner. I’m afraid they’re thinking that you were scared thin after following a frightening man like me.”
” Am I frightening? That can’t be, I look decent, right?”
It was his first time accompanying his future girlfriend to school. The corner of Xia Jinyuan’s lips curled up; although they were not holding hands, he could finally show his presence in front of First Provincial High students.
Although his identity had not been recognized, it was good being able to appear in front of her classmates.
” Don’t think too much, Captain Xia. They looked at me first before looking at you. They’re just taking another look at you,” He said he wanted to send her to school, he already realized he would definitely be many students sizing him up. That was not the case; he had received god knows how many glances along the way.
Ye Jian said slightly; she then nodded at a girl who was nodding at her; she greeted politely ‘good morning’ before continuing saying to Xia Jinyuan: “But you’re right about something, they’re really thinking that I became thin after being frightened by you.”
He had to return to the unit at noon; there were only less than 400 meters from the residential area to the school. Walking slowly for ten minutes became the time they spent together; she wanted to spend more time with him; it didn’t matter if other students saw them.
In the past, she was afraid he would be implicated because he was a soldier with a student who was a minor; she was eighteen right now; what was there to fear?
” Quickly head over, I’ll see you when I have the time,” After sending her to school, Xia Jinyuan, who wore a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants, handsomely stood by the side. There was a gentle smile in his eyes, and he watched Ye Jian enter the school.
The boys would take extra glances at Ye Jian; the girls would secretly sizing up Xia Jinyuan. He’s tall and slender figure stood among the crowd of students; his handsome face was filled with a handsome smile, even if he was only smiling at Ye Jian, it caused the girls who passed him to feel a rush of excitement
