Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What are you doing here?!”
Currently in Hua University, apart from the Department of Chinese Literature and the Department of History, those in the Department of Mathematics also turned red with anger upon seeing their foe, Tan Mo.
It was her! She was the champion of the five categories in the mathematics contest!
She completely overshadowed the brilliance of Hua University!
After giving it some thought, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was as if… they had forgotten something important.
Suddenly, someone turned their head to look at Ji Jiayi, who was following the crowd and was about to walk out of the cla.s.sroom.
Although the others still haven’t remembered what it was about, because someone had already turned their head to look, they subconsciously turned their heads to look as well.
As for who the first person, who turned their head, was looking at, they didn’t know either.
In any case, everyone turned around at the same time and their gazes landed on Ji Jiayi.
Despite not knowing exactly who they were looking at, they still looked in the same direction.
Thus, whether intentionally or unintentionally, their gazes all converged on Ji Jiayi.
Seeing Ji Jiayi, many people gradually thought of the bet between him and Tan Mo.
Immediately right after, they remembered the matter of Tan Mo, in which she landed first place in all 5 categories of the contest.
Instantly, the facial expressions of the students of Hua University turned as if a dyeing workshop had opened.
The colorful scene was extremely lively.
Ji Jiayi was in the crowd, but he was blocked by layers of people, so he couldn’t see what was happening outside.
However, everyone looked at him all of a sudden. This confused him a little.
“What’s happening ahead? Why isn’t anyone moving? Are you all blocked here?” Ji Jiayi frowned and asked.
He had been in a very bad mood these past two days, and he was especially gloomy.
Ever since he had seen the shortlist yesterday, he felt a huge weight weighing down on his heart and even felt a little suffocating.
He hadn’t forgotten his bet with Tan Mo.
He only hoped that Tan Mo was just saying it casually, and had no intention of really coming to find him.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a crisp voice outside the cla.s.sroom. “h.e.l.lo, cla.s.smates. Is Ji Jiayi still there?”
Upon hearing this voice, Ji Jiayi felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His entire body froze on the spot.
The name list had only been released yesterday. Today, Tan Mo has come knocking on his door. There is no need to be in such a hurry!
“He’s still inside, but you guys are blocking the door. We can’t get out,” A student from Hua University, who had been questioned by Tan Mo, replied in a bad mood.
She had also remembered the reason for Tan Mo’s arrival. Henceforth, her att.i.tude wasn’t any better.
“Oh no, I’m sorry. Come, come, let’s make a path for our cla.s.smates. A path that is enough for one person to pa.s.s should be sufficient. Otherwise, we won’t be able to find Ji Jiayi if there are too many people,” Tan Mo said loudly.
Everyone from Beijing University was very cooperative. They really made a path that was just enough for one person to pa.s.s through at a time.
The students of Hua University and Ji Jiayi were dumbfounded.
Although Tan Mo’s intention was supposed to be implied, at that moment, she might as well just say it out loud that they were afraid that Ji Jiayi would take advantage of the chaos and slip away.
In the end, the students of Hua University did find out.
Even though the students of Beijing University did make a way for them, they really followed Tan Mo’s instruction and only made a path that is just enough for one person.
It was as if the students of Hua University were pa.s.sing through a security check when they made their way through this narrow human path.
Being stared at by a group of people with burning eyes made the students of Hua University nervous. Their movements were stiff as they walked, and they almost walked with the same arm and leg.
“Do you have to stare at us as if we’re a bunch of criminals?” Someone from Hua University couldn’t stand it anymore and continued, “And this is our Hua University! Why are you, people from Beijing University, coming to our Hua University to flaunt?”
“I’m not staring at you. I’m just afraid of missing Ji Jiayi,” Tan Mo said with a smile. “If Ji Jiayi could come out on his own initiative, we wouldn’t have to stare at everyone like this.”
Everyone in Hua University was speechless.
It sounded as if Ji Jiayi was deliberately hiding from them and not daring to show his face.
Ji Jiayi gritted his teeth in the crowd.
He was indeed hesitating earlier.
The idea of mingling in the crowd also popped up in his mind.
However, before he could make up his mind, he heard Tan Mo’s words.
Ji Jiayi felt like his breath was stuck in his chest. He was so dismal that he couldn’t keep calm or breath properly.
Tan Mo had already made her stand. If he still didn’t appear, wouldn’t it confirm his intention to sneak away?
Moreover, while Tan Mo was saying this, the students of Hua University looked at Ji Jiayi.
Their gaze was unkind and filled with suspicion.
Could it be that Ji Jiayi really had such an intention? Is it possible that if they were to leave the cla.s.sroom now, they would be stared at like criminals by the people from Beijing University?
This was all Ji Jiayi’s fault for overestimating his own abilities and insisting on making a bet with Tan Mo.
Now great, it didn’t matter that he had lost, but he had also brought them along with him to suffer and brought shame to Hua University as well.
At this moment, the people of Hua University suddenly recalled in horror that if Ji Jiayi really had to fulfill the bet, he had to publicly admit that the Mathematics Department of Hua University is inferior to that of Beijing University.
Everyone from Hua University gritted their teeth.
This is too hateful!
Ji Jiayi himself was inferior, but he had to represent the entire Mathematics Department of Hua University!
What right does he have!
He is not worthy!
Under these gazes, Ji Jiayi still wanted to keep his pride. He walked out and even found an excuse. He said, “You guys only opened such a small path. I was blocked at the back, how could I come out?”
“You people from Beijing University came to our Hua University to show off and even blocked our students like you are trying to catch thieves. How impressive!” Ji Jiayi said.
The people walking in front of him also turned their bodies to let him pa.s.s through first.
Tan Mo’s eyelashes trembled. She blinked her eyes, trying her best to hold back her tears, not wanting to let them fall.
She was especially strong, but it also made her look especially pitiful.
The students of Hua University did not have much reaction. Both universities have always been enemies anyway.
However, the people from Beijing University were unhappy. Wu Yuanbo said coldly, “Ji Jiayi, you’re a man yet you’re always bullying the girls. Do you have any pride?”
“That’s right!” Chi Xuanzi said angrily. “During the mathematics contest, you were so arrogant and looked down on Tan Mo. After the exam, you kept picking on her. Now that your results are not as good as hers, you still have the guts to bully her.”
At this moment, Tan Mo’s eyelashes fluttered as she said faintly, “My cla.s.smates were afraid of your att.i.tude and were worried that I would be bullied, so they followed me here…”
“Fortunately, we followed you here,” Du Zeyang sneered. “With so many of us here, you can point at Tan Mo and scold her. If we hadn’t come, would you have attacked Tan Mo?”
Ji Jiayi felt so wronged that his lungs were about to explode.
“When did I scold her?!” Ji Jiayi was both angry and wronged.
The people from Beijing University had gone too far!
They came to Hua University to accuse him!
“Did I even say a word to scold her?” Ji Jiayi looked left and right, looking for his cla.s.smates to prove his innocence.
“Do you have to swear to scold her?” Yuan Siwen gave him a sideways glance. “Since you can get into Hua University, you must be, at the very least, a cultured person.”
Everyone from Hua University was speechless.
Are you implying that just any slightly cultured person can get into Hua University?
