“It is common for children to have leukemia. Dean Li, do not worry, as long as they undergo active treatment, half of the patients can be cured. There is no detailed medical conclusion about the cause of leukemia and there may be many causes for this.” In fact, in 2017, the World Medical Association had not given a clear cause for leukemia. However, the treatment results had made clear progress since the 1980s.
Su Mian was busy until the afternoon when she left the county hospital. When she returned to the school gates, the sky was already darkening. The post office had almost closed. Su Mian stuffed the letter she had written to Wei Zhen Hui into the post box.
Monday was the day when the rankings would be published. After the students had eaten breakfast, the students could not wait to go back. Usually, the class representative would go to the head teacher to pick them up and post them on the blackboard while everyone ate breakfast.
When Su Mian and Wei Min came back, many classmates were looking at it.
Wei Min was not in a hurry. She had a feeling this time and would definitely not have done worse than last time.
Su Mian had an indifferent expression as though she did not care. Wei Min thought she had not done well and comforted her for a while.
Only when the class was about to start, Wei Min could not bear her curiosity anymore and went to go take a look.
She came back sullenly after looking.
“What’s wrong with you, so upset, did you not do well? Work harder next time!” Su Mian took out the Chinese test papers. Usually, the teacher would talk about the test papers after the exam was over.
Wei Min glared at the instigator next to her yet she had an expression like she did not know anything, “You call this not doing well? You ranked 15th in the class.” Wei Min plonked down on the seat after speaking and ignored Su Mian.
It was only then that Su Mian realised Wei Min was upset because of this, “What did you rank? Did you improve?”
“29th.” Wei Min said sullenly. She had indeed made great progress compared to last time, but it was not as fast as Su Mian. 20th last time, 15th this time.
After a while, the bell rang for class and the Chinese Teacher walked into the classroom. Su Mian obviously noticed that the Chinese Teacher’s looked worse than yesterday and the wrinkles around her eyes were clearer than before.
The first thing the Chinese Teacher did when she arrived in class was re-assign the seats according to the ranking. Fortunately, everyone knew that Su Mian and Wei Min were close and when it was time for Wei Min to choose a seat, the seat next to Su Mian was still vacant. The two of them were still at the same table.
Zhang Yan Jie and Sun Ying were in the row second from the back.
Sun Ying now saw Su Mian as a thorn in her side. Su Mian’s grades were getting better and better and teachers in various subjects had all changed their impressions of her. “Why is she still here? My cousin hasn’t made a move yet.”
Zhang Yan Jie blushed with a guilty conscience. Zhang Xiao Feng had been tied up with her all yesterday afternoon and had no time nor the mind to take care of Su Mian, “Don’t be anxious, maybe your cousin is being delayed by something. Su Mian can’t run away.”
“What serious things would he have to do? He’s probably entangled with another vixen.” Sun Ying understood her cousin who could not live without a woman for a day. Who knew how many girls in their high school had been taken by him in this way. Her cousin was suave and those girls were willing to follow him even though they knew he had many girls.
Zhang Yan Jie smiled embarrassedly, then concealed the discomfort on her face and did not dare to intercede for Zhang Xiao Feng again, for fear that Sun Ying would be able to guess something from it.
Zhang Yan Jie’s hatred for Su Mian deepened. Zhang Xiao Feng had repeatedly questioned her in a roundabout manner about Su Mian’s situation and it seemed like he was really thinking about her. Zhang Yan Jie had deliberately acted angry like a spoiled child and only then did he stop asking.
Su Mian really was good. Zhang Xiao Feng had still not seen her yet but she had already consumed his mind. If she could kill Su Mian herself, she would not need him to do it.
