Due to the influence of his familial background, Yang Heng understood fully what the bottom line was, and what types of people that he should not stir up trouble with.
In his heart, Ye Jian belonged to the people who shouldn’t be bothered.
Ye Jian started laughing, and this boy was quite an interesting one. No wonder so many girls in the school had a crush on him. Even An Jiaxin, who was the slow-witted kind, liked him.
There was a redeeming quality in him.
Extending her hand, she said brightly: “Nice to meet you; I’m Ye Jian, your junior in Grade 11 Class One. I’ll be in senior’s care in the future.”
Towards the type of people who held their principles, Ye Jian was never stingy with her friendships. Moreover, even Captain Xia had said it: People, no matter where they are, need friends.
Her instinct was telling her that Yang Heng was worth becoming friends with.
Yang Heng was quite startled by Ye Jian’s extension of the hand. When he regained his senses, he too started laughing. He held Ye Jian’s hand, “Nice to meet you, junior, I’m your senior in Grade 12 Class One. If there’s anything you need, you can come to me. As long as it is in my power, I won’t let you down.”
Then he laughed: “Although I think that you won’t need to find me to talk about problems with study material, there is no problem to talk to me about things happening outside.”
That was interesting. Compared to Yao Jing, the kind of girl that seemed bright and happy on the surface, but harbored quite several naughty thoughts, this was much more interesting.
By the time he returned to the dorm, a smile still hung on Yang Heng’s face. No wonder all the boys in Grade 11 Class 1 never stopped praising Ye Jian. Whenever she got mentioned, they always spoke about her in a familial tone that was to his liking.
During this week, Yang Heng had asked around about Ye Jian and started to understand her more or less.
“Yang Heng, Luo Ran from class 6, had come looking for you a couple of times. He said that when you come back, you should visit his room, he has something urgent that he needs to talk about.”
Once he heard Luo Ran’s name, a sliver of coldness flashed past his eyes. After thanking his roommate, he left his room once again.
Good timing. Even if Luo Ran weren’t coming to look for me, I’d still have to look for him.
Solely based on the frankness Ye Jian had just shown him, he cannot allow for Luo Ran to act hatefully.
After five minutes, the previous peace in the male dorm was suddenly disturbed by the sounds of objects smashing on the front. Immediately following was Luo Ran’s roar filled with rage, “Yang Heng, just you f*cking wait, you f*cking wait! I will not let this one slide! Just you f*cking wait!”
Yang Heng fought with Luo Ran, and Ye Jian only knew about it the next day. From what was being talked about, they were called by the Head of Discipline at night onto the sports field, punishing them t to run three thousand meters before being able to return to their dorms.
“Both of them are on the Grade 12 basketball team, and they seemed to have a good relationship usually. Why did they fight about with each other?”
“I don’t know, and some say Yang Heng went looking for Luo Ran, and while talking, Luo Ran started hitting him and yelled at Yang Heng for not being loyal.” She was doing her morning exercises in the sports field, and by the time the morning self-study classes were over, the thing about Yang Heng and Luo Ran fighting had spread through the school like wildfire.
Luo Ran did not attend classes that day, but Yang Heng attended classes as usual, as if nothing had happened, and as if he wasn’t affected by it in the least.
After listening to it, Ye Jian’s brows furrowed together without a trace. Could it be that Yang Heng went to beat up Luo Ran because of her? It indeed wasn’t because she was overthinking things. However, it was because the events that have transpired are too coincidental.
By the time the fourth period was over, Ye Jian knew that she wasn’t overthinking things. The fight between the two of them, undeniably, had something to do with her.
“Ye Jian, do you have no sense of shame! No sense of shame at all! It’s only been a month, and you made two boys fight each other in your stead!” Yao Jing rushed into the classroom of Grade 11 Class One with an angry face. She lifted her leg and kicked Ye Jian’s desk out of place, and she said furiously: “You’ve made Yang Heng clean up the mess that you have made. That’s what I don’t understand. How did you bewitch Yang Heng to the point that he’ll pick a fight with Luo Ran?”
