After having a frank talk with Cheng Ran about taking the college entrance exam, Jiang Wanqing felt much better and could now focus on preparing for the exam.
When she doesn't have classes at school, she will take out a book and flip through it. Although she thinks she already has enough knowledge in her head, being prepared is a wisdom passed down from our ancestors.
"Hey? What book is Teacher Jiang reading? Is he also preparing for the college entrance exam?"
As her colleague, Teacher Tang, passed by, Jiang Wanqing casually closed her book and gave a nonchalant smile.
"Just browsing."
Don't treat colleagues like friends, and certainly don't share everything with them. This is a lesson Jiang Wanqing learned the hard way, so now she rarely talks about things outside of work with people at school, except for Molly.
Especially since Teacher Tang seemed to like Yuan Zhong quite a bit, Jiang Wanqing was even less likely to reveal much about herself.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the other person pursed his lips: "It's not a secret, what's there to hide? If I didn't want to cause trouble, with such big news as the resumption of the college entrance examination, would I not apply? But, it doesn't matter, you don't need to be wary of me. I know that Teacher Yuan is the only one preparing for the college entrance examination like you, and he is much more hardworking than you."
"oh."
Jiang Wanqing responded indifferently, completely unconcerned. Seeing her reaction, Teacher Tang opened her mouth, unsure of what to say, then snorted and returned to her workstation.
However, during this time, Ms. Tang kept a close eye on her, making her very uncomfortable. She tidied up her things and went out for some fresh air. When she returned, she found that her review materials had been rummaged through...
After get off work that day, Teacher Tang walked faster than usual and deliberately avoided Jiang Wanqing, leaving the school through the back door.
Few students leave the school through the back gate, and soon after class, the area is deserted. A figure emerges from behind the bushes and pats Teacher Tang on the shoulder.
She was startled, turned around and saw Yuan Zhong, and took a deep breath.
"You scared me to death! I thought you weren't coming."
"How could that be? How are things on your end?"
Teacher Tang smiled smugly: "Of course, I got it for you. I told you Jiang Wanqing is also preparing for the college entrance exam, but why do you need her study materials? Do you think she knows more than you?"
"Cough cough..."
Yuan Zhong coughed twice, feeling guilty. Before he and Jiang Wanqing broke up, he often took advantage of her tutoring for free. He knew in his heart whether she knew a lot, but he would never admit it.
"Don't worry about it. I have my reasons. Give it to me. I have other things to do later."
He reached out to Teacher Tang as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The other person hesitated, took out a note from her small bag, and quickly withdrew it when it touched his fingertips.
"Wait...you still haven't told me what happened with the thing I asked you to consider. I didn't help you for nothing."
Her gaze was fixed on Yuan Zhong, who, though he had been dejected for some time and his face was not as fair and energetic as before, was still presentable.
"I'm fine, but aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yuan Zhong asked tentatively.
He never resists women who come to him willingly, since he doesn't lose anything anyway. As for his reputation, he's already pretty much ruined it. The most important thing now is the college entrance exam. As long as he gets in, who cares about his past reputation?
"You and your wife aren't even legally married. Strictly speaking, you're not even husband and wife. I didn't steal or rob. It was a matter of mutual consent between us. Who cares?"
“Okay, then you decide the time and place, I’ll listen to you.” Yuan Zhong took her hand and touched it.
She withdrew her hand as if playing hard to get, and clicked her tongue.
"That's more like it. Here, take it."
She slipped the note into Yuan Zhong's palm and crossed her legs.
From the first moment she saw Yuan Zhong, she wanted to taste his flavor, and finally her wish came true.
He opened the note, glanced at it, confirmed it was what he wanted, and blew a satisfied breath on it. She immediately hummed in enjoyment.
"Does no one else know what Teacher Tang is like in private?"
She leaned close to him and breathed into his ear, saying, "You know that's enough."
Not far away, Jiang Wanqing and Molly witnessed this scene...
She identified Teacher Tang as the culprit after discovering her belongings had been rummaged through, and sure enough, she found something when she followed him out.
Molly, standing next to him, let out a soft "hmm" and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.
"There really are people who aren't picky eaters. I didn't realize Teacher Tang liked this kind of food."
“Indeed,” Jiang Wanqing echoed.
"These two are immoral, should we...?"
Molly felt disgusted and wanted to report their misconduct, but Jiang Wanqing pressed her hand down and shook her head.
"Don't use this card too early; it might be more useful later."
Her eyes darkened. At present, there was no major conflict between her and Teacher Tang. Killing him would not only make her an enemy, but it would also be detrimental to long-term development.
With Jiang Xiu in prison for almost half a year, the unruly Yuan Zhong must have some leverage over her...
"Then, shall we continue, as you say?"
"No need, let's go back." She left with Molly.
Now that Yuan Zhong has taken her study materials, he will definitely continue to secretly follow her study pace. She won't let go of this opportunity to play him for fools.
On the other side, shortly after saying goodbye to Teacher Tang, Yuan Zhong went to visit Jiang Xiu.
Before meeting him, he made himself look disheveled outside and deliberately lowered his voice to make himself sound tired and sad.
When Jiang Xiu was brought out by the prison guards, he immediately pretended to be concerned and clung to the cold iron bars.
"I'm so glad to see you. Are you doing alright inside?"
She had been inside for a while, and she hadn't even seen a glimpse of him. She was somewhat skeptical of his concern, and instead of being moved, she tentatively asked him a question.
"Why did you come to see me? Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?"
"What are you talking about? We're husband and wife. It's only natural for me to come and see you when you're in trouble. I've come here today to tell you something."
"What is it?" she asked casually, picking at her nails.
"I'm going to take the college entrance exam this winter."
Upon hearing this, she suddenly looked up. How could she have forgotten about this!
Calculating the time, it was indeed winter this year. She had no hope for Yuan Zhong's sincerity, but she had great hope for his future. Her eyes darted around, and she approached the railing.
"Listen to me, you're definitely going to get in this year, to A University in Beijing, the physics department, don't forget!"
He frowned: "Why this school and this major?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just listen to me, I won't hurt you."
Her eyes shone with an excitement even greater than his.
He reached into his pocket and touched the note... Physics Department, the same as Jiang Wanqing's major. What exactly does she know?
He suddenly remembered that she had mentioned the college entrance exam to him before. At the time, he thought she was dreaming, but now that it has been confirmed, what she said today... could it also be true?
Should he believe it to be true, or do the opposite?
