Xie Sifeng echoed with her and said in a jealous tone, “Make her realize that it’s foolish for her to show off when she makes a little progress!”
As the bell rang rapidly, Mrs. Ke trudged along and appeared at the cla.s.sroom door. She was furious when she saw the rowdy cla.s.sroom.
There was a contemptuous sneer in Mrs. Ke’s eyes as she glanced at Ye Jian. Thump. Thump. Thump. Mrs. Ke strode onto the podium, pressing the duster hard against the blackboard. She pointed at He Jiamin who was still talking loudly. “He Jiamin! Get over here! Are you bragging about how bad you were in the exams?”
…
Moments ago, He Jiamin was high and mighty. Suddenly, as if she had suffered a blow, her face turned pale and she froze all over.
“Get over here!” Mrs. Ke’s face looked increasingly awful due to the blatant defiance of her student. “Stand here until the lesson is over!”
Where’s the authority of a teacher if one after another student of hers became disobedient!
With an indifferent and sarcastic look in her eyes, Ye Jian glanced at Mrs. Ke, who was obviously trying to find fault with her. Sitting at her seat leisurely like an audience, she enjoyed this confrontation between the teacher and the student.
Eventually, He Jiamin stood beside the podium with a blus.h.i.+ng face.
“Tomorrow, these students should come to school as usual and partic.i.p.ate in the last exams.” Ye Ying’s name was the first one to be read aloud. Mrs. Ke read it with a proud look on her face.
In total, seven students of this cla.s.s had registered for the contest, while Mrs. Ke had only read the names of five students… Ye Jian and a boy who signed up for the chemistry exam were omitted.
Giggling, Xie Sifeng said to her deskmate, “So humiliating. If I were her, I would have been too embarra.s.sed to come to school.” The implications in her words were easily understandable.
Xie Sifeng’s giggle indicated that she was mocking and ridiculing someone.
He Jiamin, who had been standing with her head low, lifted her head with a gloating sneer in her eyes. Shame! What a shame! If every student learned about this piece of news, did she have the guts to come to school again?
Ye Ying also smiled gently. Ha-ha. This should be fun… You’ve overestimated yourself by trying to soar up into the sky! Oh! You shall fall pretty badly!
Seated, Ye Jian was not affected by the derision of her cla.s.smates. She was as calm and poised as a decent person who was living in solitude.
The night before last, Princ.i.p.al Chen had said that he would be returning to the village with her on Sat.u.r.day, which meant that she didn’t need to take the exams on Sunday.
Carefree, she left the school, but An Jiaxin, Zhang Na and Zhang Bin worried about her dearly.
On Monday, Ye Jian came to school. People were pointing fingers at her along the way.
Very well… the entire school was aware that she didn’t take the exams on Sunday, indicating that… she had made a fool of herself. She must have not pa.s.sed a single exam.
As she entered the cla.s.sroom, the cla.s.smates who were on friendly terms with her were concerned about her.
The voices of He Jiamin and Xie Sifeng were especially loud in the cla.s.sroom. When they saw the arrival of Ye Jian, their laughter became sharp and piercing as if demons were being born.
Unfortunately, their laughter didn’t last very long.
Mrs. Ke was a bit c.o.c.ky because Ye Jian’s name didn’t appear on Sat.u.r.day. Hence, as soon as she entered the cla.s.sroom, her face turned jet-black, the same color as the bottom of a pot!
She had been cursing for at least ten minutes and had no intention to stop.
Noticing what happened at the cla.s.sroom entrance, Ye Jian stood up. With a fake smile. she said, “If you keep swearing, Mrs. Ke, you might upset Princ.i.p.al Chen.”
