The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 133: New Exchange Student
Zhong Yangyang was penalized two laps before she went to have breakfast with Kong Xiyan. In the restaurant, she couldn't help but mention that she felt like someone was looking at her: "I don't know if it was just my illusion."
"When you encounter something, doubt others more and doubt yourself less. You have too high moral standards and always like to find fault with yourself!" Kong Xiyan handed the peeled egg to Zhong Yangyang. "Please pay more attention to yourself. If you see anyone suspicious approaching you, call me immediately. I'll check the school playground surveillance."
"Don't bother with that, what if it's really just my illusion?" Zhong Yangyang met Kong Xiyan's displeased eyes right after she finished speaking. She immediately swallowed the rest of her words back into her stomach, and finally said only one sentence: "Sister, you've worked hard..."
After breakfast, Zhong Yangyang went to the classroom for class. After saying good morning to the familiar classmates, he found a seat by the window in the front row and sat down.
After a while, more and more people came, and before the bell rang, the counselor led in a girl with a high ponytail.
The girl has a well-proportioned figure and is tall. She wears a modified college-style off-shoulder short-sleeved top, a navy blue pleated skirt, and a pair of blue, pink, and white gradient sneakers under her white calf socks.
The girl's facial features were very delicate and beautiful, but her eyes seemed too calm and indifferent, giving off an aura that kept strangers away.
"This is the new exchange student Kong Zhishan, who will be studying at Jingcheng University for the next six months." The instructor gave a brief introduction, then pointed out the class monitor to introduce them to each other, and then left.
The monitor originally wanted Kong Zhishan to sit near him, but she walked straight towards Zhong Yangyang: "Is there anyone next to you?"
"No." Zhong Yangyang didn't know why Kong Zhishan suddenly came to see her. She just pushed the stationery on the desk back. When she looked up again, Kong Zhishan had already sat down next to her.
After sitting down, Kong Zhishan took a look at Zhong Yangyang's pink and white signature pen with a sparkling pattern, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
What kind of aesthetic? Elementary school students?
At this time, the class bell rang and the professor walked in.
Zhong Yangyang immediately opened the book.
When Kong Zhishan saw that there were cute panda stickers next to the words in Zhong Yangyang's notebook, the corners of her eyes twitched.
Why do you make such useless decorations on your notebook? Don't you think it's a waste of time?
And what about her book? Why is there a picture of a kitten in it?
Didn't the information say the Zhong family was the richest in South City? How come they didn't even have enough money to buy her a picture book?
What's the weird thing about drawing kittens in books?
This is outrageous! It's unreasonable!
At the podium, the professor was explaining the key points of the lesson. Zhong Yangyang listened carefully while making underlines and notes in the textbook. If she came across something that needed to be noted down, she would write it down in her notebook.
"This kind of thing needs special recording?" Kong Zhishan finally couldn't help but said, "You don't even know how to draw such a long paragraph?"
Zhong Yangyang paused for a moment, and she looked up at Kong Zhishan in confusion.
No, sister, who are you? You don't pay attention in class, why are you paying so much attention to me?
Before Zhong Yangyang could protest, Kong Zhishan withdrew her questioning gaze with disdain, continued to face the podium, and uttered, "Tsk."
“?!” Zhong Yangyang’s face was full of question marks. What’s wrong with this guy?
After giving Kong Zhishan a blank look, Zhong Yangyang looked up in the professor's direction and continued to record according to his habit.
Zhong Yangyang had a very unhappy morning of classes. As soon as the get out of class was over, she quickly packed up her things and prepared to leave. However, Kong Zhishan blocked her way out. After taking a deep breath, Zhong Yangyang was about to politely ask Kong Zhishan to move aside, but she saw Kong Zhishan speak before her.
"You're really not good at studying. You just memorize useless things. Why don't you learn a skill instead of wasting your time here?"
After saying this, Kong Zhishan turned around and left without even looking at Zhong Yangyang.
“?” Zhong Yangyang was stunned.
No, may I ask?!
After all, she was the top scorer in the Nancheng College Entrance Examination! How could she be judged by a sudden exchange student?
Zhong Yangyang was so angry that he contacted Kong Xiyan while walking to the cafeteria, wanting to invite her to have lunch together and complain about this inexplicable exchange student.
In the end, I only received a rejection message from Kong Xiyan.
[I'm busy. I had lunch in the lab. See you this afternoon.]
Looking at the text messages on her phone, Zhong Yangyang felt empty inside. She could only go to the cafeteria alone to have lunch and then return to the dormitory to rest.
Fortunately, the afternoon class was an elective course, so Zhong Yangyang didn't have to see that inexplicable exchange student again.
Finally, it was time for the track and field club training in the evening. Zhong Yangyang went to the playground and was about to have a good chat with Kong Xiyan when she saw the members of the track and field club gathered at the edge of the track.
Zhong Yangyang walked over curiously, but before she could say anything, she saw a figure running past her at an extremely fast speed.
So fast!
Before Zhong Yangyang could react, the other person had already stopped. The person timing the race at the finish line immediately pressed the timer, his eyes shining: "How fast! President! Your record has been broken!"
"Ah~" The president of the track and field club held his head in his hands helplessly after hearing the sound: "I didn't expect...it was still broken!"
"Wow! That's really fast!" The other members applauded.
"Not bad." Kong Xiyan glanced at the time on the timer and nodded with satisfaction: "Shanshan, it seems that you didn't slack off when I was away!"
"Whether my sister is here or not, I won't be lazy." Kong Zhishan raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and looked at Kong Xiyan with sparkling eyes: "One day I will surpass my sister!"
"Then keep up the good work." Kong Xiyan chuckled. When she looked up, she saw Zhong Yangyang standing by the track. "Yangyang, you're just in time, Yangyang? Zhong Yangyang!"
Zhong Yangyang was originally shocked by Kong Zhishan's speed. When she heard Kong Zhishan calling Kong Xiyan "sister", her mind went blank and she didn't recover for a long time.
It wasn't until Kong Xiyan called Zhong Yangyang a few more times that she came back to her senses. She walked towards Kong Xiyan with a somewhat stiff limb, her voice a little hoarse: "Sister, she is..."
"She's my sister, Kong Zhishan." Kong Xiyan introduced her: "She's fifteen years old, two years younger than you. She's an exchange student at Jingcheng University for six months."
"Wow! Only fifteen years old! What a genius!" The members of the track and field club were dumbfounded and looked at Kong Zhishan in disbelief.
"I've seen her before. We had class together this morning." Kong Zhishan paid no attention to the others' gazes. She simply looked back at Zhong Yangyang and extended her hand. "I didn't have time to greet you properly before. Hello."
"Hello." Zhong Yangyang stretched out his hand stiffly and shook Kong Zhishan's hand.
Kong Zhishan's hands were slightly cold, and they didn't feel soft or smooth when she held them. On the contrary, they were covered with a thin layer of calluses.
"Then let's just say you already know each other." Kong Xiyan laughed and patted Zhong Yangyang's shoulder. "Warm up and then go train! Everyone else too, hurry up and train! No one is allowed to slack off!"
After hearing Kong Xiyan say this, the others quickly lined up and prepared for training.
Kong Xiyan called Kong Zhishan aside and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
"Very good." Kong Zhishan looked at Kong Xiyan: "Sister, when are you going to go home?"
"Can't go back for the time being?" Kong Xiyan said, looking in the direction of Zhong Yangyang, a doting smile on her lips: "There are people here that I am worried about, and there are things that I cannot ignore."
Kong Zhishan followed Kong Xiyan's gaze to Zhong Yangyang, clenched her fists at her side, and then quickly looked away and loosened her fists.
"What's wrong? Are you angry?" Kong Xiyan looked at Kong Zhishan. She could keenly perceive the negative emotions of people around her, but she was not very clear about the reasons for these emotions.
"I've been training for so long but still haven't been able to beat my sister's record. I still have a lot to learn." Kong Zhishan looked at Kong Xiyan and curled her lips: "Sooner or later, I will beat my sister."
"Are you so unwilling to accept losing to me?" Kong Xiyan shook her head helplessly: "Alright, try your best."
She may not have been a likable person since she was young. Even her younger brothers and sisters who grew up with her only thought about winning and surpassing her all day long.
Kong Xiyan tilted her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Maybe she was born to be an unpopular person.
Kong Zhishan on the side looked at Kong Xiyan with burning eyes, her cheeks flushed after exercise.
Sister, I finally see you again!
