Chapter 570: Both Character and Depth
Yun Xiangxiang was surprised after learning that Yang Qi had actually gotten first place. However, when she thought about Yang Qi’s talents during his first year of high school, she knew that he was very intelligent. Fortunately, he had gotten first place. Otherwise, that scoundrel Song Meng would have… perhaps she would have to find an excuse to make a scene.
The results would be announced on the same day. If there were people who got better, there would definitely be people who got worse. The counselors of each cla.s.s had harsh criticisms of the grades. This time, the results were too unexpected. Many of the people who were in the top ten throughout the first year of their university had slipped out of the top ten by the end of the first semester of their second year of university—some of them had even dropped out of the top twenty or thirty.
After the cla.s.s meeting, Yun Xiangxiang returned to her dormitory with her new book. Du Jing, who was living upstairs, was actually waiting at the door of her dormitory.
Ever since she questioned Yun Xiangxiang’s results last year and was slapped in the face by Yun Xiangxiang, she rarely appeared in front of Yun Xiangxiang.
“What are you doing? Are you going to review the results again?” Tao Manni stood in front of Yun Xiangxiang and questioned her.
A few people from the other side of the room stood out and wanted to watch the show. Yun Xiangxiang pulled Tao Manni behind her and asked in a calm tone, “You came to look for me, right? What’s the matter?”
Du Jing was a good student who worked hard. She was different from Tao Manni and Ma Linlin, who only wanted to avoid failing their courses and enjoy their youth in university, so they couldn’t get together.
Feng Xiaolu’s grades were good, but she and Yun Xiangxiang were good friends. After what happened in their first year, even if she was in the student union with Du Jing, it was still a matter of business and they didn’t have much of a relations.h.i.+p.
Yun Xiangxiang guessed that since Du Jing was waiting at the door of her dormitory with an unnatural expression, she must have come to look for her.
Du Jing took a deep breath and didn’t argue with Tao Manni, “I… I want to know your learning method.”
“Yo, didn’t you think that our learning method is based on cheating?” Tao Manni’s words were unforgiving.
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head disapprovingly before turning to look at Du Jing, who was pursing her lips but was not angry. It seemed that she was mentally prepared to be ridiculed by Tao Manni or herself.
In fact, Yun Xiangxiang had never hated her. It was indeed a little disrespectful of her to bring up the revision of her results. She didn’t trust the teachers and thought too much of the school’s ethics. However, it was also human nature.
A lot of people would lose their composure when they see others easily get high grades, but they couldn’t get their grades even if they worked themselves to death.
At the very least, she didn’t gossip behind her back. Instead, she gathered her courage and questioned Yun Xiangxiang. After Yun Xiangxiang partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion, she was willing to accept her loss. From then on, she didn’t criticize Yun Xiangxiang.
After the compet.i.tion ended, Yun Xiangxiang believed that in a place where she couldn’t see, Du Jing must have endured a lot of ridicule. Even so, she didn’t harbor any hatred and continued to study hard. Just based on this point alone, Yun Xiangxiang recognized her character.
Who wasn’t impulsive at a young age? As long as one’s nature wasn’t bad, what couldn’t be tolerated?
“My learning method isn’t suitable for you,” Yun Xiangxiang said gently.
Actually, Du Jing’s first reaction was that Yun Xiangxiang would refuse to share. Although she was suspicious, she didn’t say it out loud. After all, Yun Xiangxiang’s learning method belonged to her personal property and she had absolute control over it.
“Sorry to bother you…”
“I do have someone to tutor me.” If it wasn’t for Song Mian, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know how far her grades would fall.
Before entering school, Yun Xiangxiang swore that she would definitely be able to get into the top ten of the entire department. However, when it came to her career and studies, she realized how difficult it was. Some things were hard to figure out quickly if she didn’t attend cla.s.ses or practice.
However, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t have that much time to think about it. She had been taught by Song Mian step by step. Fortunately, she had a good memory.
“I see.” Du Jing finally understood. It was indeed not suitable for her.
Yun Xiangxiang was an actress. A film with a box office earnings of more than a billion, so she was definitely a high-income person. Du Jing would definitely not be able to afford the tutors she hired.
She really didn’t know much, and her studies were too heavy. She had already asked many teachers and searched through the library, but she was still barely able to maintain her position in the top 15 of the department. The drop of more than 10 places made her feel a little anxious.
She was afraid that if this continued, she would drop more and more places.
“We have a study group. If you are interested, you can join us,” Yun Xiangxiang said to Du Jing.
“Think about it!” Ma Linlin gently pulled on Yun Xiangxiang’s sleeve.
“Can I?” Du Jing’s eyes lit up.
This study group was very famous, and now, the entire school knew about it. However, the entire group was Yun Xiangxiang’s fans. Not everyone could join just because they wanted to.
It was not that they didn’t want to share and put on airs, but there were too many people. Moreover, the study group was the most active during weekends and holidays, and they had to ensure the safety of these people. Everyone thought that this study group was Yun Xiangxiang’s private organization.
Although Yun Xiangxiang’s grades had never been at the top, she was as steady as a mountain. Everyone else was floating up and down. Only the study group knew about Yang Qi’s love affair, and many people even guessed that it was because of Yun Xiangxiang.
“Sure, I’ll ask Manni to send you a schedule later.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded.
Although Tao Manni didn’t like Du Jing, she followed Yun Xiangxiang’s lead. Yun Xiangxiang had already said that she definitely couldn’t refuse, so she reluctantly took out her phone, “Let’s add each other as friends.”
Du Jing also knew that these people didn’t welcome her, but she had been indeed a petty person. She should bear the consequences of her mistakes. She took out her phone and added Tao Manni as friends.
Du Jing smiled happily and left. Tao Manni couldn’t put on a good face when Du Jing was so happy.
“Think about it, why did you add her?” Ma Linlin was not happy at all.
The study group was full of Yun Xiangxiang’s fans. They were all familiar with the five girls and the four boys on Yang Qi’s side. They usually joked without restraint and did their homework when they were tired. They could even talk freely about Yun Xiangxiang’s matters.
Now that there were outsiders, they might have to take into account what they said in the future. The atmosphere would not be so good anymore. Moreover, with her added, if there were more people coming in the future, would they still want her?
“As for those who will join in the future, just push them to me. I will personally review them.” Yun Xiangxiang knew her concerns.
She said softly, “Du Jing is not a bad person. She is not the kind of person who would go behind someone’s back. She is a rare person who loves to learn. Since we can benefit people for life with just a lift of our hand, why should we be stingy with this little bit of warmth?”
“Perhaps you’re right.” Feng Xiaolu agreed with Yun Xiangxiang.
If Tao Manni and Ma Linlin loved Yun Xiangxiang as a person, then Feng Xiaolu, who had the ability to manage, loved Yun Xiangxiang’s depth.
