Chapter 13



Li Xiaoxuan's face turned visibly uglier.

Why did Lu Yuan help Jiang Jiang with his studies?

She tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth upwards, "Why would Lu Yuan help Jiang Jiang with his studies?"

"I don't know. There were people in the class at noon. They saw Jiang Jiang and Lu Yuan sitting together, and Lu Yuan was helping Jiang Jiang with Chinese lessons."

After listening to her desk mate's explanation, Li Xiaoxuan could no longer maintain the smile on her lips, and her face suddenly turned very ugly.

When her classmate saw her, he was shocked and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xiaoxuan shook her head. "It's nothing. My stomach suddenly hurts a little. Maybe I ate too much at noon. I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

"Okay, lie down for a while and drink some hot water to see if you feel better."

Li Xiaoxuan nodded and lay down, covering her face with her elbows, looking at the table with hatred.

Jiang Jiang definitely did it on purpose!

Jiang Jiang did it on purpose. She rarely did such retaliatory things. This was her first time, but it didn't feel bad.

The news that Lu Yuan was tutoring Jiang Jiang spread quickly, and the next night, the head teacher even called Lu Yuan over and asked him to help Jiang Jiang as much as possible without affecting his own grades.

Lu Yuan naturally agreed. Because of him, Li Xiaoxuan could no longer tutor Jiang Jiang, and he felt extremely guilty.

Moreover, through these two days of tutoring, Lu Yuan found that Jiang Jiang's qualifications were not bad. Although Jiang Jiang was not a smart student who could draw inferences from one instance, he was definitely not a stupid student who was difficult to teach.

In addition, Jiang Jiang's efforts are not just for show. Lu Yuan can feel the changes in Jiang Jiang every other day.

"Do you study until late at night?" Lu Yuan asked with a frown.

Jiang Jiang had no spare time to study Chinese in school except for studying with him at noon. But every next day at noon, he could feel the change in Jiang Jiang's progress.

This only means that Jiang Jiang must have studied until very late at night.

Jiang Jiang nodded without denying, "Otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the progress."

"You sleep so little every day, can your body handle it?" Although I don't know what time Jiang Jiang goes to bed every day, it is definitely not early.

"Yes, I just memorized too many things and my brain is a little swollen." This is also the reason why she has lost so much weight recently.

Poor food was one reason, but more importantly, she studied almost 24 hours a day. Although she studied in her sleep at night and her system would put her body into a sleeping state, her mind was actually still working.

"You have to eat well at noon, otherwise you won't make it to the high school entrance exam." Lu Yuan rarely reminded someone like this. He thought Jiang Jiang was too hardworking. He himself was a very smart person. He never felt pressured to study and didn't need to spend much time on it.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, she remembered what Jiang Jiang had said before, that her parents had forgotten to give her food money.

"Don't you have enough money to eat?" Lu Yuan asked in a measured tone.

Jiang Jiang raised his head. Did Lu Yuan guess it because he ate buns and bread every day?

"Not bad." She whispered while holding the edge of the book.

Jiang Jiang was still young and knew shame, so he felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't afford to eat.

"Why don't your parents give you food money?" After a few days of tutoring, the relationship between the two has taken a step further, so Lu Yuan asked this question.

Jiang Jiang shook his head, "I had a fight with my parents."

Actually, it’s not that much. At first, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang didn’t want to give it, and then they didn’t give much.

Lu Yuan frowned, wondering how there could be such parents who did not care about their children's studies, let alone their children's food and clothing. How could such people be qualified to raise a child?

But Lu Yuan didn't dare to speak out these questions.

On Thursday, the school held a mock exam, and Jiang Jiang’s Chinese study task also came to the last day.

The mock exams are not as casual as the monthly exams. The exam time is based on the requirements of the high school entrance examination. It lasts a total of two and a half days, with half a day for each subject.

This is also the last mock exam for the school.

The seats were still scattered around. In the last monthly exam, mathematics helped Jiang Jiang get a lot of points, so this time her examination room was moved one step forward.

Although it was just an improvement in one exam, it was the fruit of Jiang Jiang's hard work and was of extraordinary significance.

The first subject was mathematics as usual. This time, except for the last two questions, the difficulty was slightly increased in order to increase the score difference. The previous questions were not difficult.

Jiang Jiang worked very quickly. Even though she deliberately slowed down, she had finished all the questions in one hour and twenty minutes.

For the remaining forty minutes, Jiang Jiang kept checking, pouring it over and over again. After making sure that there was no mistake, she became dazed and thought about what to eat for lunch.

She was tired of eating buns and bread in the canteen these days, and she wanted to eat. But there was definitely no food at home, so she had to eat out.

The bell rang not long after, and the invigilator hurriedly told the students to put down their pens and hand in their papers.

The performance of the students in this examination room was not very good. Many of them only finished half of the test, and there were very few who finished all of it like Jiang Jiang.

However, Jiang Jiang's name was well known, and everyone knew that she was good at mathematics, so many people glanced at her from time to time.

After handing in the paper, Jiang Jiang walked out of the school.

She heard from her desk mate Chen Sisi that there was a good braised chicken rice restaurant near the school, and she wanted to try it. She had never had braised chicken rice in her life.

By the time Jiang Jiang found the store with brisk steps, there were already quite a few people in the store, and a small half of them were probably students from Jiang Jiang's school.

It can be seen that the food in this restaurant must be delicious, as the restaurant is full of people.

Jiang Jiang stood at the door of the store, hesitating for a moment. There were no seats inside, and she was wondering whether to change to another store.

Just when she was about to change to another restaurant to eat, someone suddenly called out to her from inside.

"Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Jiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Yuan looking back at her from his seat. Opposite him sat Meng Hao.

Jiang Jiang, who was originally planning to turn around, finally walked in.

"Are you here to eat too?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Well, it looks crowded, so I'm planning to change to another one."

"There's still room for people to sit here. Just sit there. We can have dinner together." Meng Hao immediately said enthusiastically.

Jiang Jiang frowned slightly, but still sat next to Lu Yuan.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

Lu Yuan actually likes to laugh very much. When talking to people, he always laughs first, so many people like him and think he has a good temper.

"Let's have the braised chicken with rice." Jiang Jiang whispered. It was her first time in a restaurant like this. Although she had a similar one at home, she was still a little nervous.

"You can have a small portion. Do you want it spicy?"

“No spicy food.”

After confirming with Jiang Jiang, Lu Yuan called to the waiter working in the back, "Auntie, give me another small portion of braised chicken, don't make it spicy."

"Thank you." Jiang Jiang whispered.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes again.

Meng Hao, who was sitting opposite him, felt that he was blind. He had been deskmates with Lu Yuan for such a long time, but he had never seen him take such initiative towards anyone. Although Lu Yuan loved to laugh and seemed to have a good temper, he was not so close to everyone. Jiang Jiang was definitely the first one.

His eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, revealing a hint of gossip.

Lu Yuan saw it and smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Squad leader, why are you so nice to Jiang Jiang?" Meng Hao had an obscene expression as if you two were in a relationship.

Jiang Jiang immediately understood what Meng Hao meant and his face turned slightly red.

"She is my student now. Shouldn't I be nice to my student?" Lu Yuan said.

Then he turned his head and said to Jiang Jiang, "Don't listen to his nonsense. By the way, how did you do in the math test today? What were the answers to the last two questions?"

"I didn't answer the last question, and the answer to the second to last question is 0." Meng Hao immediately replied.

"My answer to the last question is 5, and the answer to the second to last question is also 0." Jiang Jiang also said.

"I'm the same as Jiang Jiang. The last question is actually very simple. Just..." Lu Yuan began to tell Meng Hao the solution to the last question. Meng Hao listened with great interest and soon forgot about teasing Jiang Jiang and Lu Yuan.

After lunch, the three of them walked to school together.

There is still some time at noon, so they can go to class to have a break or read some more books.

Jiang Jiang went back and read for a while until his eyes felt so sore that he could not keep them awake any longer, then he lay down and rested for a while.

She was awakened by Lu Yuan's call.

When I woke up, many students had already come to the class to take exams.

"Go to your own examination room, wash your face and sober up."

Jiang Jiang nodded, thanked Lu Yuan, and went to his examination room.

The test in the afternoon is Chinese, which can be regarded as a summary assessment of the system tasks, so Jiang Jiang must give it his all.

During this period, in addition to the book at the beginning, the system teacher also strengthened Jiang Jiang's teaching on ancient Chinese comprehension, modern Chinese comprehension and composition.

The effect was very significant. At least in the system examinations, Jiang Jiang achieved many good results.

After the Chinese test paper was handed out, Jiang Jiang took a deep breath, then held the pen and carefully read the questions.

Time passed slowly, and the whole class was writing furiously. Chinese is not like math, where if you don't know the answer, you don't know the answer. But in Chinese, at least you can fill in the test paper.

Only after Jiang Jiang put the last period on his composition did she let out a long sigh of relief.

But she did not relax, and quickly picked up the paper again to continue checking it to see if there was anything that could be improved.

When the bell rang, all the candidates handed in their test papers.

Jiang Jiang didn't go home because he had to attend evening self-study tonight.

After buying two buns at the grocery store, Jiang Jiang went to the classroom.

She was very satisfied with the lunch, but she could still get by in the following days and she couldn't be extravagant anymore.

When Lu Yuan and Meng Hao came back from dinner, they saw Jiang Jiang already in the class and knew that she had eaten either buns or bread in the evening.

Lu Yuan greeted Jiang Jiang, then rested his head on one hand and stared into the distance in a daze.

He felt a little sorry for Jiang Jiang.
