Lin Yan was dressed in a black suit. The smell of cold dew on his clothes was very strong. It was as if he had just emerged from a rainforest.
Hu Jian observed through the crack of the door for a while before she was discovered by the attentive Lin Yan.
His expression was gloomy as he looked at Hu Jian for a long time without saying a word.
Finally, he asked softly, "Did I wake you up?"
Hu Jian stared at him for a while without saying a word and closed the door.
A trace of desolation flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. Sure enough, the incident two days ago had affected her.
He gently approached Hu Jian's room. Outside the door, he coarsely said, "I'm sorry.".
However, she did not respond.
From that day on, Lin Yan no longer interfered with her matters. Moreover, he left early and returned late every day. There was no chance to see him at all.
Hu Jian secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. At the moment, she could only make use of this bit of guilt he had for her.
...
The preparation for the Math Olympiad Competition was more intense than Hu Jian had imagined. As she had to ensure a one hundred percent chance of winning the championship, the number of questions she had to prepare was also relatively large. Therefore, she had no time to care about anything else.
After Wang Xin provoked her that time, she did not come looking for her anymore.
However, Hu Jian knew in her heart that she would not just let it go like that.
Just a month before the exam, Cheng Weiyu said that Qiao Han had joined Wang Xin's competition group.
Hu Jian just nodded and gave a perfunctory "Mm".
Cheng Weiyu did not know what exactly happened between the two of them, but she could vaguely feel that Hu Jian did not like it.
She said it once and did not say anything more.
Hu Jian practiced the questions with Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu every day during the day and worked at the Bistro at night. Without the disturbance of anyone, her life was simple and fulfilling.
She treasured a life like this as she had not lived such a life without any worries. It had been a long time since she was so focused on a goal.
...
In a blink of an eye, a month and a half passed. Soon, it was the night before the competition.
At night, a girl bypassed the security guards of the school and sneaked into Class F. She found Hu Jian's seat.
She stuffed a crumpled piece of paper into Hu Jian's desk pocket.
Hu Jian never put anything in her desk pocket, so she did not have the habit of looking at the desk pocket. Even her textbooks and other things were casually thrown on the desk.
Recently, there were many question sets on her desk that were all taken from Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu.
The girl was very familiar with these small habits of Hu Jian, and after turning off the surveillance, she was even more fearless.
After the girl stuffed the paper in, she used glue to glue her pen and paper onto the table.
The surface of the stool was also smeared with some, and there were also hidden nails of the same color on it.
Her eyes were sinister.
If anyone saw this girl, they would definitely be very confused as to why such a young girl would be so vicious.
She knew that Hu Jian would not fall for these little tricks, but it was like the meal before execution. You might not want it, but it would still be provided.
Creating a little trouble to attract the other party's attention was a small trick that saved both trouble and effort.
This trick was something she had learned from Wang Xin over the past month and a half.
After Yang Si had done everything, she put on her hat again and slid along the wall to meet Wang Xin outside the school.
They stood in the shadow of the back alley of the school. Wang Xin had a cigarette in her hand. She pressed the lighter switch intermittently, and the red and yellow light flickered in the darkness.
"How is it? Is it ready?" Only after seeing her come, Wang Xin lowered her head and lit the cigarette.
Yang Si replied respectfully, "It's ready."
"Very good. Have you memorized all the answers?" Wang Xin asked again.
"I've memorized them," Yang Si replied.
"Alright then. You'll participate in the competition tomorrow." Wang Xin took a light puff. She felt that the taste was not good enough, so she threw the cigarette on the ground.
The cigarette butt was casually extinguished by her red leather shoes.
She knocked on her heels and shook off the ashes from the soles of her shoes. Without even looking at Yang Si, she turned around and led her sidekicks to get into the luxury car.
The red sports car left in a swift. Yang Si stood where she was, her scabbed palm torn apart again.
Red blood dripped on the ground. She looked in the direction where Wang Xin had left for a while and suddenly laughed maniacally.
This time, not only did she want Hu Jian to suffer a crushing defeat, but she also wanted Wang Xin to lose face as she did!
She had selfishly wanted to leave the aphrodisiac medicine for Wang Xin hence she did not use it on Hu Jian. She lied to Wang Xin and said that she had accidentally lost it.
In front of all her sidekicks, Wang Xin scolded her for being a waste and even played the video that was recorded at that time for everyone to see.
The men around Wang Xin appeared to have been harassing her.
She did not want to experience that kind of thing again, so she used her mouth to solve it for them one by one.
That kind of smell was nauseating just thinking about it. Wang Xin would also fault with her and often punched and kicked her.
After enduring for a month and a half, she had finally waited for the day when the show would start!
The hatred in Yang Si's eyes raged, and her body shrouded in the shadows, covered her face.
