Chapter 1001 - Don’t Want Her To Take The Exam

An Jiaxin replied indifferently, “She’s tired from all the traveling so we came here to eat. Didn’t you ask me when Ye Jian will be coming back in the afternoon? Do you need her to help you with some questions? You can ask her this evening.”

Nothing would happen if she didn’t mention it but the moment this was raised, Meng Wen’s expression changed. She said angrily, “Didn’t you say that she might not even take the senior mid-term exam? Why did she come back so early?”

“I did say that she might not come back. I didn’t say that she definitely won’t come back.” An Jiaxin devoured her food. She didn’t notice that something was amiss with Meng Wen’s expression. “I noticed that she’s really tired. She probably didn’t rest well at home because she wanted to rush back for the exam.”

Meng Wen became even more unhappy when she heard this. Her tone was a little disappointed and resentful as she said, “Does she have to do this? Does she have to rush back to school so urgently for an exam? Doesn’t she need to rest? She’s so tired she fell asleep the moment she reached school. Why doesn’t she just rest at home for a few more days before coming back?”

“What’s the difference between resting at home and resting in school? If she rests a few more days, she might only be able to come back on the day of the senior mid-term exam. That will be…” An Jiaxin replied. As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. She stared at Meng Wen intently as she sized her up. After some time, she let out a long cry of realization. “Ohhh…”

Meng Wen’s face turned serious as she listened to the ‘oh’. She scoffed, “Why are you dragging your word? You sound so sarcastic!”

An Jiaxin laughed softly. “I’m saying ‘oh’ for you. Meng Wen, you’re really… so cute that I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. Hahaha, I understand why you kept asking me when Jian is coming back and whether she’s able to take the senior mid-term exam after knowing that she took leave.”

“It’s hard to tell that you had so many small thoughts in your head. Classmate Meng Wen, your thinking is not right! What a waste of your military training.”

Yang Yi and the other ladies were confused by An Jiaxin’s words. They didn’t understand what was happening but Meng Wen did. Her face started turning red. She glared at An Jiaxin and said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t think that way!”

“What do you mean by that way? What are you saying? We don’t understand anything!”

“Isn’t it normal to ask when is Ye Jian coming back to take the senior mid-term exam? Jiaxin, what are you trying to say?”

“I’m not trying to say anything. You can ask Meng Wen. Ask her, ask her.” An Jiaxin didn’t expose Meng Wen’s thoughts. Now, she knew where her boundaries were. Not everyone had to know some things. As long as she knew it, it was enough. This would prevent other people from feeling awkward.

This was a form of growing up, a form of growing up that occurred unconsciously. We know when to make things easier for other people. We learned to be less calculative and be benevolent and generous.

Meng Wen heaved a sigh of relief when An Jiaxin didn’t expose her thoughts. The other ladies kept pestering her so she wanted to go to another dormitory to eat. However, she was afraid that An Jiaxin would say something after she left. Thus, she sat at the side alone unhappily.

The mid-year exam was extremely important. The famous universities would use it as a benchmark for their direct admission requirements. Ye Jian was already very impressive. Why did she need to fight with the other students for a direct admission place? Even if her results for this mid-year exam were zero, it wouldn’t affect her probability of getting into a famous university.

Meng Wen pursed her lips tightly. Her actions seemed robotic as she ate her food.
