Before Yun Jian could turn around, Chen Xinyi had already thrown herself over to wrap an arm around her shoulders and clung to her closely.

"Mn," Yun Jian hummed softly and asked Chen Xinyi, "Where's Zhang Shaofeng?"

Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xinyi were cousins and both of them were always bickering with each other. Yun Jian could not help being surprised when she did not see the guy.

"Him? He's been having a high fever today, so I asked him not to come," Chen Xinyi answered and continued slinging her arm over Yun Jian to creep closer to her with a grin.

"Xiao Jian, I saw the handsome guy who sent you to school just now and I heard what he said too!" Chen Xinyi spoke up with a giggle.

Then, she pursed her lips mischievously and lowered her tone to copy what Si Yi had told Yun Jian just earlier, "I'll be waiting for you to come home at night… Haha, this is it! I think something fishy's going on between the two of you!"

Chen Xinyi did not mean anything else. She was just fooling around and liked impersonating people. However, what she did caused Yun Jian to blush immediately.

"Whoa, unbelievable! Xiao Jian, you're blushing?" Chen Xinyi caught the pink adoring Yun Jian's cheeks swiftly and gasped.

She then recovered to her normal self and shuffled close to Yun Jian's ear, asking as she pulled Yun Jian into the school, "Xiao Jian, tell me quickly. What stage have you two gone to? When did it start?"

Not only was Chen Xinyi interested in Yun Jian's gossip, Zhang Shaofeng, and Ling Yichen were equally curious as well.

Yun Jian kept quiet.

"Come on, tell me, tell me…" Chen Xinyi tugged Yun Jian and acted cute to plead for it as they made their way into the school.

Seeing that Yun Jian stayed silent, Chen Xinyi began to make her own guesses. "Have you two gotten it on…"

Even when Yun Jian had not experienced certain things, she could guess from what Chen Xinyi was currently saying.

She coughed at once. After that, it was as if to alleviate the awkwardness or to curb Chen Xinyi's curiosity, she replied, "No…"

It was Chen Xinyi who turned speechless as she thought, 'Jianjian, has anyone ever told you that you're super direct…?'

…

With Chen Xinyi pestering her with all sorts of questions, it was just time for the evening self-revision when both girls got back to class.

Spring was creeping up on the world but the campus was still chilly at night.

The evening revision session on the weekends was purely studying on their own accord as the homeroom teacher did not have anything special to add on. There was one thing, however, that the teacher would not be forgetting.

Their homeroom teacher, Madam Yu, looked back at her class from where she stood at the lectern and said, "The winter break has come to an end. Most of you are already back to your school routine now as it's been a bit more than a week since school reopened. It's the last semester of ninth grade now, which means the high school entrance exam is approaching. All of you need to work hard to reach your goals!"

Speaking of goals, it was nothing but which school the students wanted to apply to in their high school entrance exam.

The best high school in Longmen City was Di Yi Senior High School and a majority of the students were doing their best to qualify for said school.

Madam Yu left after her short speech, leaving the classroom to the students for their revision.

Usually, whatever their homeroom teacher had said could become a topic of conversation in the class. The students would branch out into even more topics from what the teacher said.

Chen Xinyi, for example, who sat in front of Yun Jian, could not help turning around to Yun Jian who was behind her after hearing what the teacher said to ask, "Jianjian, have you thought of which high school to apply to? I want to get into Di Yi Senior High but I can't even meet its score margin. Your grades are excellent. You'll definitely be accepted into Di Yi Senior High!"

Yun Jian had come first place back in the five-school collaborating exam, so everyone else around them perked up to listen when Chen Xinyi raised her question.

Yet, Yun Jian pressed her rosy lips together before answering softly, "I'm going to Min City's military school for senior high."
