Jiang Jianian didn't say another word.
The atmosphere was very tense, and in the afternoon Ye Yingying had to leave first, she secretly went to the restroom to call her cousin, who said he was handling some procedures for the exchange student.
Ye Zhiwei felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
This was the first time Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian had gone home together.
Even after such a wonderful atmosphere.
After Jiang Jianian got on the bus, Ye Zhiwei followed suit.
The car drove smoothly home. Ye Zhiwei's heart was pounding. She took a deep breath and secretly glanced at Jiang Jianian beside her.
Jiang Jianian didn't seem to be in a good mood.
What's worse is that Jiang Jianian used to be able to control his emotions, but now he seems to be deliberately letting Ye Zhiwei know that he's not in a good mood.
Ye Zhiwei was also helpless. She had tried to explain, although her explanation was rather weak.
Ye Zhiwei finally couldn't help but start making conversation, bringing up the same old story again, "Jiang Jianian, the class is always gossiping about us, you must be annoyed too, right?"
Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei and said in a very cold tone, "I don't feel any annoyance."
This is a complete slap in the face to her, showing her no respect.
Ye Zhiwei could only continue, "It won't have a good impact. The teacher will talk to us later, which would be terrible."
Jiang Jianian chuckled, a cold laugh.
Ye Zhiwei swallowed.
She then said something unconvincing: as long as their grades don't drop, the teacher won't talk to them. Besides, many of these are just rumors; nothing actually happened between the two of them, so what could the teacher possibly talk to them about?
They didn't even offer to change their seats.
Ye Zhiwei decided to change to a slightly more pleasant topic, and asked, "Jiang Jianian, how did your biology competition go?"
"Preparing for the national competition."
Ye Zhiwei began praising Jiang Jianian, "Wow, you're already preparing for the national competition? I think the national competition is in our province, right? That's amazing! I heard that if you get a good ranking in this competition, you can get a guaranteed admission to university. Your biology teacher must be very happy. I heard that your physics teacher is regretting not persuading you to participate in the physics competition."
Jiang Jianian did not speak.
Ye Zhiwei continued, "You spent so much time preparing for the biology competition, and you still got the top score in your grade. How did you do it? I don't see you reading much normally. At most, your dad would hire a tutor for you to listen to. We have the same teachers, but I just can't seem to be as smart as you..."
Ye Zhiwei gave Jiang Jianian a few forced compliments, then said, "You are really, really, really much better than our classmates of the same age." And much better than the Youth League Secretary.
So, stop wearing that cold face. She's already shedding tears of regret for offending the male lead again QAQ
Ye Zhiwei continued to praise Jiang Jianian all the way through.
Jiang Jianian didn't say a word the whole way, but you could feel that the atmosphere between the two of them had improved a lot.
Finally, as they were almost home, Ye Zhiwei casually asked, "By the way, Jiang Jianian, when is your birthday?"
Jiang Jianian, who hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, turned to look at Ye Zhiwei and finally spoke. He said, "Next month."
"What?"
"Next month is my birthday."
Ye Zhiwei was taken aback for a moment, and she blurted out subconsciously, "Next month? That's so fast! I'll prepare a gift for you then?"
The car has arrived at the Ye family's house.
The driver got out of the car to help open the door.
Ye Zhiwei didn't get a reply from Jiang Jianian, and she felt that she could no longer figure out the male lead's thoughts.
