Chapter 84

When Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu arrived at the classroom, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yue had already finished their argument.

Jiang Xiao, Hu Man, and others were sitting in the last row of the classroom.

Because it was a self-study period and a critical moment for filling out applications, students were visiting other classes, discussing things, and gathering in groups with their close friends.

Li Ye also discovered He Weiguo from Class 2, surrounded by a group of people in the center, excitedly discussing something.

It was just that Hu Man and the others were clearly separated from everyone else, with a distinct line drawn between them.

Li Ye glanced at Xia Yue, but she pretended not to see him, and even the people around her avoided Li Ye's gaze.

Li Ye walked to the back and sat down, asking Jiang Xiao, "Why were you crying just now?"

Jiang Xiao subconsciously wiped the corner of her eye with her hand, then realized something was wrong: "I wasn't crying."

Looking at the tear stains at the corner of Jiang Xiao's eyes, Li Ye didn't expose her lie, just asked, "What did you argue about?"

Jiang Xiao didn't make a sound. Hu Man spoke for her: "We were just copying the enrollment directory. Xia Yue came over and asked Jiang Xiao which school she was going to apply to. Jiang Xiao said she hadn't decided, and Xia Yue said..."

Hu Man explained in detail, and Li Ye finally understood roughly what happened.

It turned out that after Lu Jingyao got into Beijing Foreign Studies last year, Jiang Xiao and the others had all made similar vows—"I also want to get into Beijing Foreign Studies University."

But those were just words of self-encouragement; no one took them seriously. Li Ye seemed to have said it too back then.

But now, Xia Yue came over to discuss it with Jiang Xiao, the top student in the class, and as they talked, they started bickering, until in the end, words like "whoever doesn't apply is a coward" were said.

It sounded like children's bickering, but Jiang Xiao had a gentle nature, and her tongue was no match for Xia Yue's. After arguing back and forth, she ended up crying.

After hearing this, Li Ye was stunned for a long time.

【Isn't this exactly what I wanted to do to Xia Yue?】

【I couldn't bear to do it and didn't make a move, so how did she end up getting the first strike?】

Li Ye looked at Xia Yue in the front row of the classroom and suddenly had a realization.

Actually, Li Ye had made a move.

When Li Ye had just transmigrated and clashed with Xia Yue because of "Huang Shiren," he had already made a move.

From the time Li Ye helped Jiang Xiao get first place in the joint exam last winter, he had already made a move.

In a preliminary exam, Jiang Xiao suppressed Xia Yue, six of the eight-person group made it into the top ten, and Li Ye had indisputably made a move against Xia Yue.

The struggle between Li Ye and Xia Yue had actually been going on for more than half a year.

Li Ye thought she, Xia Yue, was no good, and Xia Yue thought Li Ye was bullying people too much!

Fighting back and forth, seeing that it was about to reach the final moment, wasn't this the "Mount Hua Sword Duel"?

The final move Xia Yue revealed was—I can get into Beijing Foreign Studies University, can you?

This...

In an instant, Li Ye understood many things.

He, Li Ye, really was the "rebel" in Xia Yue's words.

Before Li Ye, Repeat Class 1 was a warm, big family. Although Xia Yue was a bit overbearing, overall it was peaceful.

Anyway, everyone just gnawed on books; there were no materials, no test papers, everyone relied on their brains and talent, and no one had any complaints.

But ever since Li Ye came, everything changed.

Teacher Ke used Li Ye's exercise books to set questions, Li Ye explained the questions, and then differential treatment appeared.

Then, Jiang Xiao took first place, Xia Yue and the others realized the benefits of the college entrance exam materials and sought out Lu Jingyao.

As the college entrance exam materials from Beijing were constantly mailed over, the peaceful class environment disappeared, and everyone embarked on a path of "mutual struggle," which became increasingly intense.

And all of this stemmed from him, Li Ye.

He, Li Ye, was the first outlier who "didn't help classmates." He was the cause of all the chaos. Everything today seemed like a farce, but it was he, Li Ye, who had planted the seeds of disaster half a year ago.

【Am I a bad guy?】

Li Ye asked himself, then laughed dumbly.

Of course not.

Li Ye was just a catfish that rushed into the school of fish that was Repeat Class 1, which had been peaceful.

Rushing around, stirring up trouble.

But the consequence caused by this catfish was the improvement of the overall performance of Repeat Class 1.

During the joint exam last winter, Jiang Xiao only scored 345 points and got first place in the class.

But now, how many in the class can score over 345 points?

Thirteen.

Li Ye's appearance allowed Repeat Class 1 to have at least thirteen students who could cross the junior college threshold, or even undergraduate, as well as many classmates who could apply for colleges and technical schools.

This doesn't even count Watching Wen Leyu, who was an exception.

So, is he, Li Ye, a bad person?

No, Li Ye, this catfish, helped Repeat Class 1 and moved the gears of fate.

As for the result of Xia Yue fighting with Jiang Xiao and Li Ye, it was like a road-rage car that had accelerated repeatedly.

The brake was under Xia Yue's foot, not Li Ye's.

。。。。。。。。。

Seeing Li Ye silent for a long time without saying a word, Hu Man and the others felt a bit guilty.

Li Ye had done his best for them and done so many things, but they were always causing trouble for him.

"Actually, it shouldn't have started arguing in the first place..."

The reticent Yan Jinbu said, "It was that He Weiguo who stirred up trouble. He said that you, Li Ye, now have a new... new goal and won't apply to Beijing Foreign Studies University anymore, which is why Jiang Xiao started arguing with them..."

Li Ye's gaze became sharp as he looked at He Weiguo in front.

No wonder something abnormal happened today; it turned out this troublemaker from Class 2 was acting up.

Because He Weiguo had relatives who were teachers and had sources of information in the education system, he boasted about having unique insights into applications. Recently, he had been sought after by many people, and for a moment, he forgot himself, thinking he was something special again.

Was he saying Li Ye had a new goal? He was clearly insinuating that Li Ye had a new love interest.

Everyone in Class 1 could see that Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu were close, but no one dared to say anything. Only this He Weiguo in Class 2 didn't understand the situation, spoke recklessly, and caused trouble without even knowing it.

"Who is He Weiguo?"

Li Ye hadn't reacted yet, but Watching Wen Leyu beside him suddenly spoke up.

Yan Jinbu subconsciously pointed forward.

Watching Wen Leyu lifted her feet and walked forward.

Li Ye was separated from her by a desk, and he reached out to grab her but couldn't reach.

The little girl's two long legs moved with the wind, and in a few steps, she reached the front of He Weiguo.

She didn't even say a word before she swung her small arm.

Her small fist was clenched tightly, fair and delicate, like a small hammer, and it slammed fiercely into He Weiguo's eye.

"Bang~"

He Weiguo, who was completely confused, was stunned for a second before he covered his eye and cried out in pain.

"Ouch~~ What are you doing?"

Watching Wen Leyu's cold gaze swept over everyone around, including Xia Yue and Jin Shengli.

"Watch your mouths in the future!"

Watching Wen Leyu's voice wasn't loud, her tone wasn't high, and her voice was clear and cold, not fierce or vicious.

But Xia Yue and the others didn't dare to talk back.

Li Ye: "........"

Jiang Xiao: "........."

Li Dayong and the others: "........."

All the other members of the eight-person group looked at the domineering little girl, all feeling "convinced" in their hearts.

Only He Weiguo, who had been hit, felt he had lost face and was squealing there, but no one paid him any attention, as if they were looking at a clown.

Just at this moment, a teacher suddenly ran in at the door.

When He Weiguo saw this, he went up to report, but the teacher pushed him aside.

The teacher said, panting, "Watching Wen Leyu... hurry... to the principal's office..."

Watching Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, then ran out of the classroom.

Li Ye, Hu Man, and others followed closely.

He Weiguo thought for a moment and followed as well.

It wasn't close from Repeat Class 1 to the principal's office, and Watching Wen Leyu ran there in one breath, panting heavily.

After she entered, she saw her mother standing by the desk, holding the phone.

Seeing Watching Wen Leyu enter the room, Teacher Ke opened her hand and handed the phone receiver to Watching Wen Leyu.

Watching Wen Leyu looked at her mother in surprise, and after continuous eye contact, she suddenly became excited.

In the past, Teacher Ke had blocked news from Beijing to her, to avoid the little girl letting her imagination run wild.

So today...

Watching Wen Leyu felt her heart was about to jump out. She nervously took the phone receiver and put it to her ear.

"Hello~, who... is it?"

"......."

The other end of the phone was silent for a second, and this second made Watching Wen Leyu even more nervous.

Finally, a voice suppressing joy finally came through.

"Xiaoyu... it's Dad!"

"Buzz~~"

Watching Wen Leyu felt her little head explode.

For thousands of days and nights, Watching Wen Leyu didn't know how many times she had been distracted, missing her father's appearance.

In countless dreams at night, Watching Wen Leyu didn't know how many times she had woken up from her sleep, her face covered in tears.

Now, she suddenly didn't dare to believe whether she was in a dream or reality.

"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu? Hello, hello..."

The man on the other end of the phone became impatient.

Watching Wen Leyu hurriedly said, "I'm here! Dad, I'm here!"

Watching Wen Leyu's father immediately calmed down: "Xiaoyu! Dad has already arrived in Beijing... I just told your mother, you two will return to Beijing tomorrow, okay?"

"Tomorrow?"

Watching Wen Leyu was stunned.

She had reunited with her father countless times in her dreams, and the joy of that reunion would linger for a long, long time even after waking up.

But at this moment, why was there conflict in her heart?

Watching Wen Leyu was a bit flustered and didn't know how to answer, so she could only look at her mother.

Teacher Ke smiled without speaking, just using her hand to gesture two words on the desk.

【Up to you!】

Watching Wen Leyu's heart settled, and she whispered into the phone, "Dad, I miss you too, but I want to... return after the college entrance exam, is that okay?"

"What?" The voice on the phone became high-pitched: "Why do you have the same idea as your mother? Can't you take the college entrance exam in Beijing? I'll find you the best tutor..."

Watching Wen Leyu didn't wait for her father to finish speaking and hurriedly handed the phone to Teacher Ke.

She didn't dare to provoke her dad at this moment. When her dad doted on her, he was truly loving, but when he got angry, he was also very fierce!

Teacher Ke took it and said, "Alright, there's still a month until the college entrance exam. If I leave these students alone now, it would be irresponsible. Their English foundation is very poor..."

"I don't care if they're poor or not,"

The man on the other end of the phone finally couldn't maintain his composure, and the words he said became bitter.

"Zhiyu, do you know how I've survived these years?"

"I was just thinking of you, missing you... that's how I survived!"

"I've been in the north all these years... thinking of you and the child every day...

Thinking during the day, thinking at night, thinking every day, thinking every night, I was about to... go crazy thinking..."

"You bring the child back to me, tomorrow... no, now, immediately give me..."

"You stubborn kid, get lost!"

An old and sharp voice suddenly came from the receiver.

Then, the person on the other end of the phone changed.

"Hello, Xiaoyu, I am your Uncle Peng."

"Sigh, hello Uncle Peng."

"Your attitude is very good. Now we need people like you who do practical things and see things through to the end. You persist in standing your last post, and after the college entrance exam, I will make arrangements for you."

"Qingsheng, that kid, isn't even as good as you!"
