Chapter 119
Someone had hinted at something very obvious, but Jiang Yunu's mind skipped a beat.
She said, “No.”
The ending sound of the word "ah" is so innocent.
Shesh's face was like paper blown by a cold wind, and one could clearly see his face twitching.
Jiang Yunu suspected that a young master was about to turn around and leave. Her ears had already caught the sound of the heels of the other person's exquisitely crafted boots rubbing against the ground. However, strangely, Xie Shi just took a deep breath in front of her, and his chest rose and fell noticeably.
But the young master stood still and did not move.
“…Really?”
These four words seemed to be squeezed out from between Shesh's teeth.
Jiang Yunu felt like some cats... ahem, some cat-like people. If he continued teasing them, something bad would happen. Xie Shi was the type of person who couldn't quite grasp the line between "joke" and "provocation." He wasn't good at distinguishing between innocent teasing and malicious targeting, so teasing him had to be done within a certain point.
Jiang Yunu answered again: "Yes."
Xie Shi snorted coldly.
The young master had even condensed the sentence "Then why did you say no just now" into one syllable, leaving it all to Jiang Yunu to understand with his heart.
"I was just joking." Jiang Yunu said.
Xie Shi's expression looked a little better.
"I guess." Jiang Yunu continued, "You want to come to me to talk about the skip-level exam?"
Xie Shi said coldly: "After all, if I don't come to you, you don't seem to be planning to come to me either."
Jiang Yunu touched his nose and felt guilty due to procrastination.
"I've thought about telling you before." Jiang Yunu explained herself a little embarrassedly, but she could only give the beginning of her explanation, because she knew the reasons that followed, such as "our relationship doesn't seem to be close enough that we can talk about everything" and "I'm afraid you think I'm showing off." She knew very well that once these words were thrown out, Xie Shi's awkward self-esteem would immediately explode.
"But you didn't say it." Xie Shi said to her indifferently, "What's the point of thinking about it before?"
Jiang Yunu condensed thousands of words and thoughts into one dry sentence: "...It's hard to say."
Young Master Xie sneered again, "Is it difficult to tell me only, or is it difficult to tell anyone else?"
According to Xie Shi's network of connections on campus, he probably already knew that Zhou Jinxue, who was closest to Jiang Yunu, and Qiao Yisen—and perhaps some others—knew that Jiang Yunu was going to take the exam for a higher level. So he kept waiting.
After all, Xie Shi considered himself friends with Jiang Yunu, and he wasn't on her notification list. How could this be possible? Definitely not!
…and then he waited until finals month was over.
He felt like if he waited any longer, some heartless person might just run home because tomorrow was the day off! The personal notice he'd been waiting for was like the title of "youngest student on the varsity team" he'd longed for: something he'd thought was so close, within reach, but in reality, completely illusory, a thing that would only leave him with a face full of suds. Xie Shi rushed to the entrance of the teaching building where Jiang Yunu would take his final exam, blocking the way.
The "heartless" Jiang Yunu lowered her head slightly in front of him - to be honest, even if she tilted her neck, she was still not as tall as him. I wonder if she can grow taller by the time of the entrance examination next year?
Xie Shi was a little distracted, his thoughts wandering. Then he heard Jiang Yunu say with an embarrassed tone, "It's hard to tell you, only you."
Xie Shi: “…”
It was really hard for Jiang Yunu to explain what the young master in front of her was thinking in those few seconds.
Anyway, she stood opposite him and saw Xie Shi's face turn cold at first, and then his features inexplicably thawed. He seemed a little confused, and looked at Jiang Yunu with a bit of suspicion, and finally his brows slowly relaxed...
Jiang Yunu:?
Jiang Yunu didn't understand it anyway.
Xie Shi's tone softened slightly. He whispered to confirm, "Am I the only one who can't say?"
Jiang Yunu was puzzled, but nodded sincerely: "Only you."
She no longer has another friend who she finds "difficult to deal with".
She originally thought that Xie Shi might ask why only he was the one being punished, and that the young master would probably be very bothered about the "unfair treatment" he received.
In the end, Shesh didn't say anything!
He didn't even ask why, his mood somehow brightened. Then Xie Shi unilaterally skipped over the topic, turning to Jiang Yunu and saying, "Congratulations on the skipping exam. Being chosen by the Spirit Deer Psychic Association and receiving an officially guaranteed recommendation makes me feel like losing to you in the school competition wasn't a big deal."
Perhaps Xie Shi had been holding these words in for many days. He was waiting for Jiang Yunu to come to him, and was also waiting for the opportunity to say these words.
The higher and further Jiang Yunu went, the more insignificant the self-esteem he suffered when he lost to her in the school competition became.
A slight difference will make people sigh in regret, but a huge difference will only make people look up and look up. They will no longer think that if they had tried their best, they still had a chance to surpass, and that the other party's victory was just a fluke.
Jiang Yunu felt that she had underestimated Xie Shi's breadth of mind, or perhaps she had used her strength to broaden Young Master Xie's breadth of mind.
But no matter what, she was very happy that she could reconcile with Shesh. Her eyes curved up and she said to Shesh with a smile, "That's great. I'm so happy that you can congratulate me!"
For some reason, Xie Shi stopped talking again. He stared at Jiang Yunu for a long time.
Then Master Xie asked, "Would you and your brother like to take my car home the day after tomorrow?"
The young master added, "It's not on the way, but I can take you to the transfer station in Chat City."
Jiang Yunu felt that their friendship had been sublimated after the grudge disappeared. She was very moved, but decisively refused: "Don't bother, Auntie will drive to pick me and Qiao Yisen up."
Xie Shi's suggestion to send someone off was rejected again, but somehow he still seemed to be in a good mood. He didn't get angry at being rejected again. He just nodded very dignifiedly: "Yes, it's winter vacation soon, and it would be more appropriate for the family to go back together."
Jiang Yunu: "...mmmm."
To be honest, Jiang Yunu wasn't very comfortable chatting with Xie Shi, and the sight of them chatting about their families seemed odd. Fortunately, this small talk didn't last long; Xie Shi had other things to do. He hung around Jiang Yunu for a bit, and the two finally got to the point about the "skip-level exam," and Xie Shi left in his strangely good mood.
A lot of things happened during Jiang Yunu's next winter vacation.
First, she went to Enge's administrative office building on the last day before the holiday. In Res Daniel's office, she signed various documents that required her personal signature. In the presence of teachers, she stamped the signed documents with the school's electronic seal and then sent a letter to the Education Management Center of the Seventh District.
This means that Jiang Yunu has officially accepted the opportunity to take a skip-level exam. She will also be officially transferred to the graduating class starting next semester and will directly begin preparing for the "junior high to high school" entrance exam.
The document signing procedure was relatively formal and was supposed to be done in the Student Affairs Office. However, Lucy went to the Student Affairs Office and slammed the table, believing that the procedure should be handled in an environment where students could feel more comfortable and relaxed - so it was moved to Res Daniel's office.
"...My office has never been so crowded." After all the signed documents were delivered to the Education Management Center, Teacher Lei pulled Jiang Yunu to the beverage compartment and poured her a drink while muttering quietly.
"Teacher, are you a little socially anxious?" Jiang Yunu felt that he had accidentally discovered a little secret of Reiss Daniel.
Because just now when teachers and administrative staff of all ranks gathered in the office, Reiss Daniel's face gradually became stiff and green as the density of the crowd increased.
Teacher Lei denied it and glared at Jiang Yunu, but added an extra marshmallow to her hot cocoa. "How can I be a socially anxious person? How can I be a teacher if I have social anxiety? How can I sit in a meeting with teachers from other schools?"
Jiang Yunu held up the extra drink cup as evidence: "But when you saw that the office was almost full, there were still people walking towards this side of the corridor outside the door. I think you are about to suffocate, teacher."
"..." Leis Daniel said, "This is all your teacher Lu's fault. She turned this place into an auditorium for sudden faculty meetings."
Mr. Lei insisted that he just couldn't adapt to so many people changing so suddenly - especially in his personal office, which he considered a more "private territory."
After signing and sending the documents, Jiang Yunu's skipping grade exam and promotion to the next grade were already set in stone. By the way, she was also taken to meet her teachers for the next semester - all of them were strangers.
They are all teachers who are responsible for teaching graduating classes and are good at guiding students to further their studies.
"Lei's eyes are already full of jealousy." The female teacher in charge of special instruction on earth-related abilities smiled and hooked her arm around Jiang Yunu's shoulders, bringing her future daughter, Jin Miaomiao, to her side.
The lady, who had a very "Mother Earth" temperament, glanced at Lu Xixi again and said with a cheerful smile, "Well, Xixi is clearly showing her jealousy through her expression and body language."
Reis Daniel and Lucy are in charge of fire and wind respectively, and both of them can teach general theories and basic skills, but when it comes to teaching individual elements, they can only step aside temporarily and leave Jiang Yunu to the teacher who is more proficient in the earth element.
The female teacher with the temperament of "Mother Earth" is called Mutisha. Her name reminds Jiang Yunu of a movie that the world had seen before, in which a little lion was lifted up high and sang.
Jiang Yunu exchanged contact information with her new teachers, who then handed her a dozen documents.
"Almost all graduates will choose their target schools during this winter break," Mudisa said. "Here's the information for the advanced supernatural schools in the first, second, and third districts. You can take a good look at it during winter break and select some of your favorites in advance."
Jiang Yunu asked curiously, "Are advanced supernatural power schools only established in the first, second, and third districts?"
Otherwise, why is the regional information omitted later?
Mudisa glanced at her and looked surprised: "Huh?"
The Earth Elementalist instructor said, "Are you planning to consider attending advanced schools for special abilities outside of the Upper Three Districts?"
