The GuangXi University teachers in charge of admissions heard him and smiled: “Yunnan’s First Provincial High had always poured out people of talent. Among the exchange students we had from American schools, two of them were First Provincial High alumni. The relationship between GuangXi University and First Provincial High is quite close, so if there are any talented students, Principal Cao, please, you’ll have to tell us.”
GuangXi University and First Provincial High do share close ties, all the Number One Scholars of the Sciences had picked GuangXi University.
9:12 am, Ye Jian handed in her paper and walked out. Principal Cao, who was standing and waiting outside, waved his hand at her. “Ye Jian, come over here.”
From upstairs came the sound of sprinting footsteps, then a girl yelled out in a piercing yet terrifying voice: “Jing Jing, what are you trying to do?”
Such a loud voice suddenly appeared in the quiet exam period; the students upstairs and downstairs could all hear them. Naturally, Ye Jian and Principal Cao had also heard it.
Students of Grade 11 Class One who was seated by the window stopped writing for a moment and looked towards the outside.
“Close the classroom doors, don’t let it affect the students’ exam.” Principal Cao reminded the invigilating teacher in Grade 11 Class One and closed the door personally. He turned towards Ye Jian and said: “There are still fifty minutes, why don’t you go back to your dorm and rest for a while. You silly child, you shouldn’t have handed in so early in such cold weather, sitting inside the classroom is much warmer.”
Before Ye Jian was able to reply, the sounds coming from upstairs were getting louder, and there was also the voice of a panicked teacher, “Hurry, hurry and get the Principal! There’s an emergency with a girl from Grade 11 Class Six! Quick!”
Emergency with a girl from Grade 11 Class Six? Principal Cao couldn’t spare any attention to talking to Ye Jian; even the admission teachers from GuangXi University hurriedly said, “Excuse us,” and left quickly.
An emergency with a student, the complexion of the admission teachers from GuangXi University, had changed. How would they still have any attention left to spare to look at the other classes, both of them chased after Principal Cao.
Ye Jian furrowed her brows slightly. The girl with the piercing voice from just now was surely Wang Dandan, and the ‘Jing Jing’ coming from her could only mean one person, and that was Yao Jing.
Emergency with Yao Jing? What kind of emergency? How did she get into an emergency?
Class One was on the fourth floor; Class Six was on the fifth floor, then further up was the sixth floor of the Grade 12 classes…, Yao Jing wasn’t running downstairs. Instead, she sprinted upstairs,… to find Yang Heng?
Skipping exams to sprint upstairs and find Yang Heng?
Ye Jian, who was downstairs, pondered about it in her head and raised her head while deep in thought. She looked up through the space between the staircase.
This truly sounds abnormal…
When she almost reached the fourth floor, she heard Wang Dandan’s even more piercing voice penetrating the air, “Jing Jing, hurry up and get back here! Please don’t scare me, come back here! Come back here!”
Hearing that, Ye Jian, who was going down the stairs, stopped in her tracks and turned to run up the stairs.
When she reached the fifth floor, she saw the homeroom teacher of Class Six stumbling down the stairs with a panicked motion. She panicked too much, and out of her panic, she stepped on-air and dove forwards.
“Teacher, please do not panic, be careful not to hurt yourself.” Ye Jian, with swift reflexes, stepped forwards and caught hold of the teacher. “What’s going on upstairs? Is there anything that I can help with?”
Ye Jian caught her in time, but the teacher who was in high heels still sprained her ankle. A heart-wrenching pain shot up from her ankle, but she gritted her teeth and continued walking downstairs, “Oh it’s Ye Jian, quick, help me call out Yang Heng from Grade 12 Class One. Tell him Yao Jing’s in an emergency, and we need him here.”
There was indeed an emergency, and it wasn’t just an ordinary emergency. Yao Jing was currently sitting on the edge of the building’s rooftop, both her legs were dangling outside, and she dangled it from time to time like she was just admiring the scenery.
Wang Dandan cried limply on the floor from the fright, and she mumbled: “I… I also don’t, don’t… I don’t know. She just suddenly told me, told… told me she was going up the rooftop,… telling me to call Yang Heng over, or else… else… she’ll… she’ll jump.”
