Chapter 101: Gaining Momentum
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The last question was about geometry, which also appeared in the Provincial Junior High Mathematical Olympiad two years ago. It was difficult, but was not unsolvable!
Ye Jian paused her calculation because she and Ye Ying were staring at each other. She didn’t expect that the teacher watching over her would get nervous.
She resumed putting pen to paper, writing down her solving process one by one. In the end, she wrote the correct answer.
As soon as she finished writing her answer, the teacher grabbed the exam paper from her, saying, “Sit still. Don’t leave until I finish grading your paper.”
The first person to hand in the exam paper could always bring tremendous pressure to the rest students. Gao Yiyang, sitting at the very last seat, tightened his thin lips.
She was so fast… Had she finished? Or was she caught cheating?
No, not right.
If she was caught cheating, the teacher would not have seemed excited, and she could not have been sitting quietly in the classroom.
So, she had finished the exam!
Gao Yiyang couldn’t conceal the astonishment in his cold eyes. Frowning, he automatically looked at the direction where Ye Ying was sitting.
He saw that the girl, on whom he had a crush, was not affected at all and was concentrated on working on the problems. So, he slowly stopped frowning.
Mrs. Zhu, standing behind the podium to grade Ye Jian’s paper, was admiring her quietly. It took her the least time to score full marks!
No wonder Principal Cao visited this township middle school in person. There were indeed talents in this school!
While the rest of the students were still working on the problems, Mrs. Zhu had finished grading Ye Jian’s exam paper. “Not bad. You may leave the exam room now.”
She didn’t mention Ye Jian’s scores. But Ye Jian could tell that she had done a good job from the teacher’s demeanors and words.
“Goodbye, teacher,” she said politely. She was anxious to see Principal Chen, so she picked up her ballpoint pen, the only thing she brought in the classroom, leaving quickly.
Dumbstruck, many students were gazing at her, but it didn’t change a bit of Ye Jian’s facial expressions or footsteps.
Today was not just about the exams. She had not accomplished… the most important thing!
“This is… given to you by Captain Xia?” In the office, Principal Chen was holding a thin and long silver wire made from a special material. Under the light, the silver wire was glittering with cold gleams.
It was soft but elastic… This kind of special material was very rare.
Why did he give away this object to the girl for no reason?… Moreover, it was the weapon of a criminal suspect.
The girl was not the only one who wanted to know the answer. Principal Chen wanted to know as well.
“You may keep this wonderful gift. If you return it, you will be turning down Captain Xia’s good intention.”
Smiling, Principal Chen gestured Ye Jian to reach out her hand. Again and again, he wrapped the silver wire around Ye Jian’s thin and white wrist. “This is a good item. Just keep it.”
It was good stuff! It also looked nice when it turned into a bracelet! Most importantly, it was not against the law to possess it!
Shocked, Ye Jian stuttered, “This… Isn’t this using power…”
“Ha-ha… silly girl,” Principal Chen laughed even louder as he saw the obvious astonished look on her tiny face and the faint concern in her jet-black eyes. “Girl, just keep it because it is given to you by Captain Xia! No need to worry about anything else.”
If Principal Chen told her to keep it, then she could definitely keep it!
“Then I will keep it,” answered she smilingly. “To be honest, I… I really like it. I was worried that Captain Xia would be affected if I kept it. So, I came to see you, hoping you could put my mind at ease.”
“Clever kiddo.” Principal Chen laughed louder. She was a girl with integrity.
When he finished laughing, he asked Ye Jian about the exams. As Ye Jian smiled gently, her eyes brightened up. “Rest assured. I am always true to my words.”
