Chapter 1397: An Acquaintance
The boy who changed the topic for Ye Jian had a gallant face and handsome features. When he talked to the students, he was calm and confident. He didn’t feel awkward at all. He smiled and answered the students’ questions, “I don’t have any special tricks. I’ve told you before that after the evening study session, I run a few times around the field, do pull-ups and push-ups. Sometimes, if I can’t solve a question, I go out to run and relax before continuing.”
“You’re the same as Ye Jian. You started training yourself in senior high. We didn’t have time back then. We studied till 11 or 12 at night too. Sometimes, we would do the exam practice questions until one or two in the morning. Thinking about those days now, it was dark!”
The boy smiled and said, “Me too. When I can’t solve the question, I would go for a run before continuing. It’s common to not sleep at one or two in the evening.” His voice was calm. You could tell that he was a composed student. Occasionally, he would look at Ye Jian with a smile in his eyes and continue chatting with his classmates.
As the students chatted happily, the embarrassment on Ye Jian’s face faded. The applause from Class One and Class Two just now made her blush… It was too high-profile. She felt a little awkward.
Ye Jian noticed the friendly smile on the boy’s face again. She narrowed her eyes. Why did she feel that… this boy knew her?
The boy did know Ye Jian. When his classmates stopped talking to him, he smiled and said to Ye Jian, “I’m from the Southern Province too. I was in the same exam room as you during the exam. However, you definitely don’t remember me.”
Ye Jian didn’t have any impression of him. At that time, she just wanted to finish her exam as soon as possible and go home with Xia Jinyuan. Additionally, because of Ye Ying’s matter, she didn’t pay much attention to the students in the exam room.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings during the exam. I’m sorry.” Ye Jian reached out her hand and introduced herself. “I’m Ye Jian, from Anyang City.”
The boy reached out his hand and smiled brightly. “I’m Song Zhiqiu. I’m a native from the Southern Province.”
Ye Jian realized it now. Principal Cao said that there was a boy from Chennan High School who managed to get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences too. It was the boy in front of her.
He continued, “Yang Heng and I are cousins.”
Yang Heng…
A name that she hadn’t heard for two years suddenly came out from another boy’s mouth. Ye Jian felt as though she was in a trance.
“So you’re Yang Heng’s cousin. I haven’t contacted him for almost two years. Where is he studying now?” Ye Jian frowned slightly. In the first half of her senior year, she still received letters from Yang Heng. Occasionally, they would call each other. In the second half, she never received any letters from Yang Heng again. The connection was thus broken.
Song Zhiqiu smiled and said, “Uncle got transferred and Aunt moved over too. During the winter vacation, Cousin suddenly said that he wanted to study abroad. He’s in Australia now.”
Because of Yang Heng, the two of them started talking about many things.
Ye Jian wanted to ask why Yang Heng suddenly went overseas to study. However, when she saw the gloomy look on Song Zhiqiu’s face when he mentioned this matter, her heart sank.
From the looks of it, something must have happened for Yang Heng to suddenly go overseas to study.
Song Zhiqiu quickly adjusted his emotions and changed the topic. “…I know that you were accepted by the military school, but I don’t know which military school you enrolled in. My second aunt… is Director Song of Hotel Venus. You saved her life back then.”
