Honestly, Ruan Chen finds this kind of drama very annoying.
As I said before, let her take the exam however many times she wants. What is her relationship with this group of people anyway?
She coughed lightly, turned around, letting the group see her face clearly, and a nonchalant smile appeared on her lips. "Next time you talk badly about someone behind their back, remember to look around first, so the person in question doesn't hear you again."
Yu Xiaoya followed behind her, rolling her eyes at her.
Although we don't know Ruan Chen's English proficiency, there must be a reason why a top student would do this.
Bo Nian hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, heading towards Ruan Chen.
He initially planned to come back later when there were fewer people, but as he sat in the classroom, he heard people around him discussing Ruan Chen's name after seeing their grades, and he suddenly became nervous.
He pushed up his glasses, panting for a few seconds as he leaned on his knees. "Ruan Chen, did someone bully you?"
Yu Xiaoya smiled subtly and consciously stepped back from the crowd, leaving space for Bo Nian and Ruan Chen.
“No,” Ruan Chen pointed to her own name at the bottom of the list, “I didn’t finish the English exam, so I wasn’t in good shape.”
When Bo Nian saw the glaring grade, he was surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. "Go back to the classroom and rest first. I'll explain to them."
Ruan Chen pressed her eyebrows impatiently. "What's there to explain?"
Bo Nian knew that this was just her personality, and said with some helplessness, "Ruan Chen, I know you are a very capable person, but since you've come to study here, you have to learn to adapt to the rules here—just treat this as part of your learning, okay?"
He spoke in a gentle tone, with a sincere attitude, and looked intently into Ruan Chen's eyes.
Ruan Chen felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and subconsciously turned her face away. "I understand... thank you."
"I haven't had a chance to thank you yet for taking your plane to the US..." Bo Nian coughed twice, pretending to look at the list, "I'll treat you to a meal sometime. You go back to the classroom and rest first."
Yu Xiaoya, who had been watching from a distance and gossiping, came over at the opportune moment and pulled Ruan Chen away, putting her arm around her shoulder with a playful smile, "Genius, our class monitor... is a nice guy."
"Yes, he's good to me too." Ruan Chen nodded somewhat blankly. "He's also quite attentive to things in class."
"Have you noticed that Bo Nian's attitude towards you is unusually good?"
Ruan Chen didn't catch the implication in Yu Xiaoya's words. After thinking about it seriously, she said, "It seems so. Maybe I'm too busy and it makes him worry. But Bo Nian is indeed a good class monitor."
Yu Xiaoya gritted her teeth in exasperation, lamenting in her heart that Ruan Chen was smart in every way, but just lacked common sense.
"No, what I mean is, Bo Nian treats you better than he treats others."
She said those words with such emphasis that even if Ruan Chen were a bit slow on the uptake, he should have understood the implied meaning.
This time, Ruan Chen remained silent for a long time.
Yu Xiaoya thought she had finally figured it out, so she turned to look at her, only to see Ruan Chen frowning and staring at her phone screen, her neatly trimmed nails swiping rapidly across the screen as she quickly browsed through the large amount of information.
Yu Xiaoya inadvertently glanced at the chat window's background, and her interest was immediately piqued. She lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, isn't this a globally used chat app? Did you make friends in the US? Are they male or female?"
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Ruan Chen nudged Yu Xiaoya away with her elbow, “relatives abroad.”
She turned off the screen and tossed her phone into her pocket. "Xiaoya, we have our final exams this weekend, right?"
"Yeah, I had exams for two days straight, from morning till night. It was so annoying, but I'll feel relieved after the exams. Hey Ruan Chen, come to my house after the exams? My parents asked me yesterday how your recovery is going."
Ruan Chen was still thinking about the message she had just received on her phone. She calculated in her mind that she still had a little time. "I won't go. I have other things to do after the exam."
During the time that Ruan Chen was in trouble, Su Ze also became unreachable.
The first thing Ruan Chen did after waking up was to contact Su Ze. She had been stabbed in the back by the Blood Skull in Haitang Port, and she couldn't just let it go like that.
Then she discovered that all of Su Ze's contact methods had been cut off.
She has been arranging for people to look for Su Ze these past few days, but without any results. Fortunately, Su Ze still has some influence, otherwise Liuli Island would really be a mess.
Just now, Ruan Chen received a scheduled email from Su Ze.
Su Ze wrote the email ten days ago.
"Ruan Chen, by the time you receive this letter, I should have already lost contact with you for more than ten days..."
Su Ze's email was very brief and even contained a few typos, indicating that it was written in a hurry.
He said two things: first, he would come back, but he wasn't sure how long that would take.
Secondly, some problems have arisen within the Blood Skull organization. Su Ze quelled them with swift and decisive measures before leaving, but this is not a long-term solution. If he does not return soon, chaos will inevitably break out again.
Therefore, he needs Ruan Chen and Tian Lang to temporarily take over this situation.
He spent a great deal of effort integrating the isolated island, which was rife with gang warfare and where gang fights broke out almost daily, to achieve the peaceful situation we have today.
In addition, Su Ze is cultivating his own influence around the world, spreading a business network that belongs only to Blood Skull, with all profits used for the construction of the Stray Island.
Hospitals, schools, streets, clean drinking water systems...
Su Ze can become the local tyrant of Liuli Island for a reason and he has the qualifications.
If conflict reignites on the islands, these peaceful days will be shattered, and the local residents will once again be caught up in endless gang warfare.
Ruan Chen once thought these things were far removed from her life, until she lived on the island for more than half a year.
Four days later, before the final exam, Ruan Chen hesitated for a moment before leaving home and took two pills.
Ruan Wenlou saw her medicine box while tidying it up and asked, "Chenchen, haven't you been feeling much better these past few days? Why did you increase the dosage again?"
"I didn't sleep well last night." Ruan Chen never hesitates to lie.
Three days later, at the airport on the outlying island.
Ruan Chen descended the gangway step by step.
She finally took off her loose sweatshirt, and her fitted jeans and dark knit cardigan accentuated her shapely figure.
The pendant that Su Ze had personally hung around her neck swayed in front of her chest.
The Blood Skull members stood in a neat row below the gangway, and Sirius was not far away, squinting slightly to avoid the somewhat glaring sunlight; his platinum blonde hair was very beautiful.
Ruan Chen stepped down the gangway, and Tian Lang came forward to greet him.
When the two were about seven or eight steps apart, a gunshot rang out in the distance.
As if receiving a signal, the men brought by Tianlang raised their guns in unison and surrounded Ruan Chen and Tianlang.
"Brother Tianlang, give us a straight answer. Is it because Su Ze died that this clueless little girl was brought in to take over?"
