Chapter 1146: Who Is The Man Beside Ye Jian
“Look at you. Your results are so poor but you’re still not working hard! Do you think that you’re amazing? If you are, learn from Ye Jian. If you are half of Ye Jian’s standard, I won’t care about you even if you sleep in class!”
In her two years in senior high, Ye Jian was always the one being compared to. Every day, she would be compared to other people. It never stopped.
In this situation, it would be weird if someone didn’t know her.
Because they recognized her, when they noticed that a young man with a powerful aura suddenly appeared beside her, their gazes would land on her for a longer period of time.
“Who is this man? His gaze is so scary.”
“Maybe it’s Ye Jian’s brother. The two of them look alike. The way they walk, their expression… are a little similar. They look like siblings.”
“Are you stupid? Ye Jian doesn’t have an elder brother. She’s the only child in her family. How can the other person be her brother? However, they do look alike. Maybe they are cousins or distant relatives?”
7.20 am was the peak period for students to come to school. There were many students at both the front gate and the back gate. Normally, the students already took notice of Ye Jian and some would even come over to greet her. However, today, none of them did it. All of them looked at her silently and left quietly thereafter.
“Why did she suddenly become so skinny? Is she sick?”
“She is skinny but she doesn’t look sick. She seems quite energetic.”
“Who’s the person beside her? He looks quite handsome but his gaze is a little scary. I don’t dare to look at him for too long.”
The soft discussions floated into their ears. Some were muffled and some couldn’t be heard properly.
The conversations didn’t affect Xia Jinyuan. He wore a faint smile on the side of his lips and walked Ye Jian to her school elegantly. “Everyone says that you’ve gotten thinner. They might think that you got thin due to fright because you followed a scary man like me.”
“Am I scary? I don’t think so. I think I look quite appropriate.”
This was the first time he accompanied his future girlfriend to school. Xia Jinyuan was smiling brightly. He didn’t hold her hand but he was finally able to reveal his face in front of the students from Provincial No.1 Middle School. He was able to show some presence now.
His identity couldn’t be revealed yet but it felt good to walk in front of her classmates.
“Don’t think too much, Captain Xia. They looked at me first before looking at you. You are just an extra glance for them.” When he said that he wanted to send her to school, she already guessed that there would be many students sizing them up. Just as she expected, she received many gazes on the way here.
Ye Jian smiled as she spoke. Then, she smiled and nodded at a girl that was smiling at her. She politely greeted the girl, “Good morning,” before continuing the conversation. “But, you are probably right about something. They might suspect that I was frightened by you.”
He would be returning to his military unit in the afternoon. From the small district to the school, it was only 400 meters. The 10 minutes stroll became part of their time spent together. She wanted to spend more time with him. Even if her classmates saw her, she didn’t mind.
In the past, she was afraid that his soldier identity would get affected if he got too close to an underaged student. Now, she was 18 years old. What was there to be afraid of?
“Go in quickly. I’ll come and look for you when I’m free.” Xia Jinyuan sent her all the way to the back gate. He wore a clean white short-sleeved shirt and long black pants. He stood at the side handsomely with a gentle smile in his eyes as he sent Ye Jian off with his eyes.
Male students looked at Ye Jian while the female students sized Xia Jinyuan up secretly. He was slender and tall. When he stood among the students with an elegant and enchanting smile on his face, even though he was just smiling at Ye Jian, it made the other female students’ hearts beat faster.
