Chapter 54 - What About Your Heart Disease?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

It was half an hour before the evening study session began. Most students had arrived at the classroom, talking with each other in small groups.

The moment Ye Jian and An Jiaxin entered the classroom, a few students that were discussing the exam asked them, “Did you answer the last geometry question? It was too difficult to solve!”

“Don’t ask me!” An Jiaxin answered roughly, placing her school bag on her desk. “I left it blank because I couldn’t solve it. Simple as that!”

“No way! Even you can’t solve it!”

“But Ye Jian can. Let’s ask her.” An Jiaxin took out her exam paper and said loudly to Ye Jian who had not walked back to her seat. “We still have half an hour before the evening study session. Please tell us how to answer this question.”

Her voice was so loud that other students heard her and stopped what they were doing. Everyone looked at Ye Jian. Someone laughed and said, “Come on, Ye Jian, teach us! You are more generous than Ye Ying!”

Every time someone asked Ye Ying to teach them, she would refuse, claiming that she was still thinking about the questions or she had no time to teach them.

Ye Jian was different. She would answer her classmates patiently, even if she had something else to attend to.

Ye Ying had adjusted her mood before entering the classroom. When she heard that sentence, she could barely subdue her anger.

The student who said that sentence saw Ye Ying and avoided eye contact with her. He sneered without explaining anything.

He was simply stating the facts.

Ye Ying, who had returned to school after being absent for half a month, could do nothing but suffer in silence. Her eyes were gloomy. She didn’t smile until the classmates around her greeted her.

“Thanks for your concern. I didn’t expect that I would be absent for two weeks over such a trivial matter,” she said with a gentle smile on her delicate face. Everything seemed normal.

“Trivial?” Xie Sifeng yelled immediately. “My mom said that you were diagnosed with heart disease after taking the physical examination in the city! It’s hard to cure! You can’t be too emotional! You cannot run! All you can do is rest!”

What? Heart disease? It was so severe that she could not run?

Every student who had heard of this news was shocked. Some of them couldn’t help but pat their chests to calm themselves. When they looked at Ye Ying again, they felt sorry for her.

But An Jiaxin didn’t believe her. Writing formulas on a piece of paper, she whispered, “Really? She is diagnosed with heart disease at this age?”

An Jiaxin’s mom was a doctor at the public health center of the town, that’s why she was aware of a bit of medical knowledge.

“It has nothing to do with us whether she is telling the truth. You are wrong at this step. You need to calculate the shadow area using this formula.” said Ye Jian with a faint smile on her face. She didn’t care about what happened to Ye Ying.

Heart disease? Couldn’t be agitated? That’s ridiculous. If Ye Ying was ill, and someone mentioned the incident about the ‘love letter’ before her, she would probably have a heart attack, right?

Heart disease was an excellent excuse. No one would bother to verify if she was really a patient with heart disease. Such a high-quality lie probably was the idea of Ye Zhifan.

Every classmate, including those who were discussing the exam question with Ye Jian, approached Ye Ying and expressed their concerns for her.

Ye Jian was no exception. As she walked towards Ye Ying, Xie Sifeng put her arms around Ye Ying, like a hen protecting her chick. She shrieked, “What do you want?”

She was not the only one who was nervous. Other classmates were a bit concerned as Ye Jian approached Ye Ying.

After all, Ye Ying treated Ye Jian badly in the old days.

“Sifeng, relax, she’s my sister.” Ye Ying stood up. There was a chilly look in her eyes, despite the smiles hanging on the corners of her lips. She said gently, “If I don’t fear her, why should you?”
