Xu Ningning had just come back from getting water. When she got there, she giggled, “What’s the point of telling her that? No matter who the Dean picks, it won’t be her.”

“Even if it’s not Ye Fan, it will be someone like Niannian – someone who gets top marks on every exam.”

“So she got first once. You guys have so much audacity to think all the good things will happen to her!”

Luo Chen chuckled as well, “Xu Ningning, are you trying to catch my attention or are you trying to get Qingqing’s attention?”

“I don’t hit girls normally, but don’t go too far. If you dare to talk to me again, I may just beat you up.”

Xu Ningning, “…”

Her lips trembled a little but in the end, she didn’t say anything more. Instead, she hissed and returned to her seat.

Lin Xiyan pulled on Qiao Qing’s sleeve, “Qingqing, do you know how to play Go?”

Qiao Qing spun her pen, “What’s up?”

Lin Xiyan continued, “I saw on the bulletin board downstairs that they signed both of us up. But I don’t know how to play Go.”

Luo Chen was surprised, “Are you two even from the City of Brisk? Even I, a hoodlum who does nothing but cause trouble, know a little. You, two beast students, don’t know Go?”

Qiao Qing glared at him, “You have a problem with that?”

“None. Even if you don’t know Go, you are still a genius and can get into UCC,” Luo Chen immediately began to kiss ass.

Qiao Qing ignored him and patted Lin Xiyan’s head, “It’s okay. If you don’t know, then don’t go. It wasn’t right for the school to sign everyone up without permission.”

Lin Xiyan asked, “Are you going to go?”

Qiao Qing shook her head, “No.”

Jiang Yi looked away when he heard this. Was he overthinking?

After he knew Master Ye and her had an unusual relationship, he had a thought…

Just as Qiao Qing announced that she wasn’t going to go, Yang Lianfeng walked in, “Qingqing, come here for a second.”

Qiao Qing, “…”

Inside the teacher’s office, Yang Lianfeng got straight to the point, “I signed you up for the Go competition. You have to go compete.”

Qiao Qing replied, “I don’t know how.”

Yang Lianfeng, “…You think you can bully me because my face says I’m nice?”

Qiao Qing, “…I can get into UCC without the extra credit.”

“Having confidence is a good thing.” Yang Lianfeng smiled, “But having some cushion is never a bad thing. UCC sets hard standards every year for their applicants.”

“Ye Fan, Qiao Nian, Su Qi from Eighth High school, and Nan Ying from Siyu high school all get extra credits. You don’t have any and that puts you in a bad position.”

Qiao Qing didn’t say anything.

Yang Lianfeng sighed and changed the subject, “I heard that someone confessed to you yesterday?”

Qiao Qing, “…”

As a homeroom teacher, was it okay for him to be this gossipy?

Yang Lianfeng tentatively asked, “Qingqing, are you in a relationship?”

Qiao Qing shook her head, “No.”

Yang Lianfeng confirmed, “Really?”

Qiao Qing, “…”

Yang Lianfeng coughed softly, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I care about you.”

“You are in the last part of the race. So I don’t want any external factors affecting your performance on the entrance exam.”

“People should be far-sighted. Dating right now will only cost you your future.”

“After you get into UCC, you can date whoever you want. By then, you’d be a pretty girl in a prominent school and you’d be even more popular than right now!”

“Maybe by then, the dream lover of all Asian females, the third young master of the Jun family, will set his eyes on you!”

Qiao Qing, “…”

Could she say that right at this moment, that piece of junk was lying in her bed?

At night, Qiao Qing went home and threw her backpack on the couch. Then, she went to the study room.

Before she could sit down, she heard rustling noises, then, someone flipped their way inside.
