Heart racing?
Did Song Laosan's heart race?
When he heard that Song Jiawen had become the provincial top scholar, not only was his heart racing, but both he and Xie Jingying nearly had heart attacks and keeled over.
"Wasn't it said that this girl couldn't compete with others in the city, and her grades had declined? How did she still manage to become the provincial top scholar?"
Xie Jingying, full of anxiety, couldn't even be bothered with the villagers. She simply closed the front door and went back to her room to call Song Xiwen.
Just a few days ago when the scores had first become available, Song Xiwen already knew Song Jiawen's scores were shielded, and it was Zhou Youming who had learned about it through a phone call from his uncle.
At that time, Zhou Youming had even remarked with emotion, "I knew Jiajia was a good student, but I never thought she could be this good—making it into the top fifty of the whole province."
