Wang Zhizhi bought another meal and sat opposite Nian Yue. “Do you know who was with that boy just now?”


  “Who is it?”


  “Qu Jing.” Wang Zhizhi gossiped to her. “I heard that he came from the Imperial Capital. He’s the first in our school and has never been second. If one day, someone really manages to squeeze him out, that person can only be you…”


  After all, Nian Yue was someone who never wrote essays and was in the top ten. If she wrote an essay, Qu Jing would not be in first place.

  “I’m not interested.” Nian Yue did not even look up. She did not have any obsession with being first. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have lost interest when she reached third place in ‘Pugilistic World’.

  The afternoon class was in English. When class ended, Lin Nan walked over with a draft paper, his face full of despair. “Why do I have to give an English speech? What rubbish is this…” The students in the class were not interested in this year’s arts festival. Considering that Lin Nan had been abroad for quite a long time, Duan Yu asked him to give an English speech. The speech was meant to discuss the future of mankind. There were many professional terms in it, and they were difficult to pronounce.

  “Come on, our teacher scoured the knowledge bank for you. It’s like a small thesis!” Wang Zhizhi complained.

  “That’s right. Brother Lin, I’m sure you can do it! You’re really too awesome…” Wang Le, who was at the side, did not forget to suck up to him.

  Although they could not understand what Lin Nan was memorizing, he was after all an English citizen. “Come on.” Lin Nan looked like he had nothing to live for anymore. He turned around and asked Nian Yue, “Sister Yue, why don’t you do

  it!”


  His Sister Yue had the aura of a big boss. As long as she stood there, she could control the entire situation. She was definitely much stronger than him.

  “I’m not interested.” Nian Yue propped her chin in her hand and looked sleepy. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand as she deduced a complicated formula.

  While Lin Nan was memorizing the English speech the entire afternoon, Nian Yue had earphones in her ears. After calculating for a long time, she pushed the results out and sent them through her phone.

  Then, she stuffed both earphones in her ears and increased the volume. She lay on the table and started sleeping.

  Lin Nan subconsciously lowered his voice.

  Damn!

  How could he have forgotten that his Sister Yue liked silence? He actually dared to talk to her for so long without being beaten up?

  The arts festival was held on Friday afternoon. When they heard that Qu Yi was coming this time, the students of No.1 Middle School were much happier than usual. When it was time, everyone entered the school’s hall with their classmates. No.1 Middle School was a famous school in Jiang City after all. In the past, the production crew of television stations would be here and this time was no exception.

  The front row was filled with the best media outlets in Jiang City. Even the mayor had come personally.

  When Nian Yue and Wang Zhizhi came over, there were still five minutes before the event started. This was not Lin Nan’s first time on stage. Furthermore, he had rehearsed for a period of time in advance, so he was not nervous.

  The backstage was a little messy and people were coming and going. Class A only had an English-speaking program, while Class B was almost surrounded by people because Liang Yue had invited Qu Yi.

  They were all a group of kids who had only seen celebrities on television. When they heard that Qu Yi was coming over this time, those who could get in through the backstage took the back door. They wanted to get Qu Yi’s autograph.

  “Liang Yue, I heard that you have a good relationship with Qu Yi. Did he come here specially for you…”


  “That goes without saying. In the entire No.1 Middle School, only Liang Yue came from the Imperial Capital. Didn’t you see the entertainment news saying that he and Liang Yue are childhood sweethearts? What’s wrong with coming over…”


  A group of girls surrounded Liang Yue and chattered non-stop.

  “Don’t worry. When Qu Yi comes later, I’ll get you your autographs.” Liang Yue was a little impatient.

  This was the countryside afterall. People here would always look like they had never seen the world.

  Nian Yue was texting with her head lowered and did not even look up when she heard Liang Yue’s voice.

  Her jade-like side profile was a little cold, as if she found it too noisy, her eyes mixed with impatience.

  If it weren’t for Lin Nan having to go on stage later, she wouldn’t even have come.

  When Chen Shu and Qu Jing came in, they saw a young girl in a loose school uniform leaning against the wall, swiping her phone.

  “Could she be going on stage too?” Chen Shu lowered his voice, but the disdain in his voice could still be heard by the students backstage.
