Chapter 15 His Breath
on Monday.
After the flag-raising ceremony ended, Tong Yue exchanged a few words with Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian before going to look for Zhao Tian.
Tong Yue and Zhao Tian were in the same class at the beginning of high school, and luckily they stayed together even after the class division in the second year. They were good friends. Tong Yue had somewhat neglected Zhao Tian recently, and she hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian and went to coax people.
Zhu Zhiyao held Cen Nian's arm. There were many people around, and their voices unconsciously lowered. "How is it? How do you feel?"
"Hmm?" Cen Nian was confused: "I should feel something."
Zhu Zhiyao asked in a tone of watching the fun: "What's it like living with Jin Siyang?"
"You know what? Jin Siyang was a god-like existence in the affiliated high school. He was the school hunk. He was very attractive wherever he went." Zhu Zhiyao recalled: "A lot of people liked him, but he seemed quite cold."
Cen Nian thought carefully, "I don't seem to have any feelings. Sometimes I'm afraid and don't dare to get close to him, but most of the time we're like we don't interfere with each other, with very little communication."
"Well... indeed, Jin Siyang does have a temperament that makes people afraid to approach him." Zhu Zhiyao's tone became a little softer: "Qin Zhouyan and him grew up together, and they have a good relationship. Have you met him when you were at home?"
Cen Nian nodded heavily: "What a coincidence, he came this weekend, but I didn't dare go out to say hello."
Zhu Zhiyao pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking. She suddenly leaned closer to Cen Nian: "Niannian, do you like Jin Siyang?"
Cen Nian couldn't help coughing: "What... Why do you say that? I, I didn't."
She didn't dare.
Zhu Zhiyao had a smile in her eyes. Looking at Cen Nian's innocent and helpless look, she couldn't help laughing: "I was just asking, look how anxious you are."
Cen Nian muttered, pretending to be vindictive: "What about you, who do you like?"
Zhu Zhiyao suddenly panicked: "I don't have any."
“It doesn’t look like it!”
"I really don't!"
The two of them were playing and laughing.
Zhu Zhiyao teased her, especially tickling Cen Nian, but Cen Nian was the most ticklish. When she stepped back, her shoulder accidentally bumped into the girl next to her.
Cen Nian turned back in shock: "I'm sorry, classmate, I'm sorry..."
She met Cheng Yiwen's gaze. Cheng Yiwen's facial features were bright and sharp, especially her pair of peach blossom eyes, which were unforgettable.
Cheng Yiwen looked up at her, smiled and said, "It's okay."
After everyone left, Zhu Zhiyao apologized obediently: "I'm sorry, Nian Nian, it's my fault."
"It's fine."
"But you just ran into our school's beauty, Cheng Yiwen, who's in the liberal arts class. She's beautiful and has excellent grades. Oh, and she, Jin Siyang, Qin Zhouyan, and the others have known each other since they were little."
Cen Nian sincerely sighed: "The people in the affiliated high school are so amazing."
Zhu Zhiyao touched Cen Nian's head and said, "It's okay, little Niannian. I'm not that great."
Cen Nian looked at her resentfully: "Thank you, Master Zhu Zhiyao, who is ranked in the top 100 in science in our high school sophomore class."
Zhu Zhiyao smiled awkwardly: "You... looked at the school bulletin board?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Zhiyao put her arm around Cen Nian's shoulders and said, "Niannian, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. When I entered high school, I was at the bottom of the class. Then, during the placement test between freshman and sophomore, maybe it was luck, or maybe it was because I took extra classes, but I finally got into the key class with great effort."
"As for you, you have to believe that you can do it. I really do!" Zhu Zhiyao said frankly, "One day, our little Niannian will also stand on the bulletin board ranking list."
Zhu Zhiyao spoke frankly and her eyes were serious. She said this to Cen Nian from the heart and out of encouragement.
As for Cen Nian, she had a little pessimism in her heart, but she was actually an optimist. After hearing what Zhu Zhiyao said, she became even more motivated, "Well, I will definitely work hard!"
The stairwell was packed with people at the same time, and everyone was moving little by little in a queue.
Cen Nian lowered her head to look at her feet to prevent herself from stepping on the person in front of her. Zhu Zhiyao suddenly tightened her grip on her arm. Cen Nian thought she was afraid of being separated and smiled at her.
When going up the stairs, the man in front of her suddenly took a step back. Cen Nian didn't have time to control her pace and subconsciously moved her feet back. The distance between her and the person behind her was instantly shortened, and their breathing became close in an instant.
She turned around and saw a protruding Adam's apple. Looking up, she saw Jin Siyang's expressionless face.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
She seems to have been doing something wrong today.
Cen Nian realized belatedly that Jin Siyang's warm breath had hit her neck. When she came to her senses, her neck seemed to be a little itchy. She touched it awkwardly, and her ears turned red.
After waiting for a long time for everyone to disperse, Jin Siyang and Qin Zhouyan walked past Cen Nian and the others and went straight to the classroom.
Jin Qi walked into the classroom, holding a textbook. She put the book on the podium, glanced around, and said seriously, "It's been two weeks since the start of school, and September is halfway over. I have one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The student sitting in the front row said, "Here's the bad news first!"
Jin Qi curled the corners of his lips and said, "There will be a monthly exam at the end of this month."
"Ah!!" The class wailed, "So what's the good news?"
"After the monthly exam is the National Day holiday." After saying that, Jin Qi couldn't help laughing again.
Everyone in the class sighed: "Teacher Jin, you said something that everyone knows."
The moment Cen Nian heard about the monthly exam, her heart sank to the bottom. Sure enough, the exam she was most afraid of was coming.
After class, Zhu Zhiyao handed the test paper she had done to Cen Nian: "This is the test paper from the Affiliated High School. Take a look first and see if the style and difficulty of the questions are similar."
"Thank you, Yaoyao."
Song Ze smiled and comforted: "Cen Nian, what are you afraid of? The people who can enter our class are extraordinary. Besides, the monthly exam papers are easier than the midterm and final papers."
Cen Nian covered his face and sighed: "You don't understand."
She has a serious imbalance in her academic performance. Although her previous grades were good, they were not good enough to compete with the affiliated high school.
From that day on, Cen Nian devoted herself to learning new courses and doing tests, forgetting to eat and sleep. Several times, Tong Yue wanted to ask her to go for a walk on campus together, but seeing Cen Nian's seriousness, she finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Seeing how hard she worked, Tong Yue and Song Ze started to review seriously at the same time.
The atmosphere in the class suddenly became tense.
During evening self-study, occasionally someone would gather around Jin Siyang with a test paper or an exercise book.
Cen Nian breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the math problem. Her attention was drawn to the noise nearby. A boy stood next to Jin Siyang and asked, "Jin Siyang, can you help me with the second question?"
"Um."
She originally thought that because of Jin Siyang's aloof and aloof temperament, no one would dare to ask him questions.
Jin Siyang has a cold personality, but he answers questions directly and directly, without saying much nonsense or sounding impatient. Instead, he sounds quite gentle.
Cen Nian checked the answers and got all the answers right on the second math problem. She finally smiled.
Zhu Zhiyao poked her face and asked, "Are you happy?"
Cen Nian just made a small gesture: "A little bit."
"Yaoyao, do you all like to ask Jin Siyang when you encounter questions you don't know how to answer?"
Zhu Zhiyao closed the textbook and thought carefully: "There are only a few of them, Zheng Ming, Tan Zhiling and others. They are in the top ten of the class. Usually, when they encounter questions they don't know how to answer, they can only ask the teacher and Jin Siyang for help. They don't dare to ask Jin Siyang for simple questions. Usually, they can ask others for difficult questions. "
"Besides, Jin Siyang is definitely going to participate in the competition. If we send him all the questions, it will waste his time."
