Chapter 3
The next day, Jiang Yi went to school with her mother to register. Because the Xu family had made arrangements in advance, it was easy for her to register at the best high school in the city.
Because the Xu family donated a building to the school, and they also established a scholarship every year.
This is typical male lead setup.
The school has a large campus with beautiful scenery. They also have special, stylish white shirts and skirts as school uniforms, which look very aristocratic, just like the aristocratic schools on TV.
However, even though she had a ticket to the class, she still had to take a placement test. So, after a brief conversation with the principal, she started the test in the classroom next door.
The exam lasted about an hour and a half. It was a very comprehensive paper; it was as if all the different types of questions from various subjects were mixed up and put into the exam for her.
Before coming here, she had heard that the school's exams were notoriously difficult. She even studied for a whole night because of this. Thank goodness, in her previous life, under her parents' strict supervision, she had always maintained the top score in the entire grade. Although she was about to graduate before she transmigrated, she had been working as a tutor to earn extra money, so answering these questions was not difficult for her.
The principal initially intended to show some appreciation since she was introduced by the Xu family, but he was stunned when he saw the questions she answered. He even checked the answers and found that, apart from some questions having simplified the answer steps, there seemed to be no problems at all.
After taking a deep breath, the principal called over the head of student affairs and said, "Take her to Class One."
This is a promising talent; we should nurture him well.
The head of student affairs was somewhat dissatisfied that he had assigned the student to half of the class, saying, "Principal, even if the Xu family sent them, they shouldn't be placed in Class 1. What level are those people in Class 1 at..."
The principal, too lazy to waste words, directly showed it to him. The head of the teaching department glanced at it and was utterly astonished. This girl's level was even higher than that of the special admissions students last year. He glanced at the draft paper that the principal had brought over, which only had a few numbers on it and no calculation steps at all.
The head of the teaching department pointed to one of the challenging problems and asked, "How did you solve this problem?"
The head of the teaching department is also a math teacher. He spent an entire night, using up several sheets of scratch paper, working until the early hours of the morning to solve the problem. How did this girl figure it out?
Jiang Yi pointed to her brain and said, "I calculated it with my brain, what other way is there?"
The dean of students' fingers trembled slightly, then an indescribable excitement and exhilaration appeared on his face: "A genius!"
Jiang Yi: "..."
With a cheerful stride, the head of the teaching department led her to Class 1, which happened to be the homeroom teacher's class. After the head of the teaching department exchanged a few words with the homeroom teacher, the homeroom teacher led her into the classroom, told her to find a place to sit down, and then continued the lesson.
Then, she found an empty seat in the front row and sat down.
The people around her, who had been paying attention to the lecture, were suddenly distracted and began whispering among themselves: "Why is she sitting in Xu Wang's seat?"
"She's so bold!"
A girl at the table behind her nudged her and said cautiously, "This seat is taken."
Jiang Yi looked somewhat surprised: "Huh?"
"Xu Wang's location."
"Oh." Upon hearing that it was the male lead's seat, Jiang Yi immediately calmed down. It was Xu Wang's seat. He didn't even come to school anymore. It was such a good seat, so why shouldn't she take it?
The girl at the table behind her looked a little confused when she saw that she wasn't listening to her, and then decided to give up.
Although Xu Wang is quite gentle with people, this is only on the premise that no one offends him. If someone tries to touch his things, he will not be polite at all.
The homeroom teacher, however, didn't care about these minor details. After glancing at them, he continued the lesson.
Before she knew it, it was time to leave school. As Jiang Yi packed her bag and left, she vaguely heard people talking about her, but she didn't pay any attention to it and left the school happily.
Her mother was waiting for her at the school gate.
To help her familiarize herself with the route home, her mother waited for her today and took her home by bus.
I first went to a nearby shopping mall to buy her some things, and then the mother and daughter took the bus together.
The bus was crowded, and since they were late, there was only one seat left. Jiang Yi gave her seat to her mother and then stood holding onto the handrail. The bus stopped frequently, and when the doors opened, the wind blew in, ruffling the girl's hair. Lu Qiao sat in her seat, looking at her daughter's clean face, and felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
Her daughter was assigned to Class 1, and even now, she still feels like she's dreaming. After leaving the principal's office, she asked her child, "How come your grades suddenly got so good?"
The girl hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mom, how long has it been since you checked on my studies? I've been working really hard lately, okay?"
In that instant, Lu Qiao felt incredibly guilty.
Yes, she hasn't gotten to know her daughter in far too long.
Now, her own daughter has given up her seat for her, which makes her feel even more guilty, as if she owes her daughter something.
Jiang Yi never expected that a casual remark she made today, and a habitual action she took at this moment, would move her mother to tears.
Of course, she was talking nonsense. The original owner's grades were indeed not very good, and she didn't put her mind to studying. But now the soul in this body is hers. They can't exactly go back to the countryside to find out whether she's actually trying hard or not, haha.
They stopped at the entrance of the villa area and then walked forward. There were vendors selling candied hawthorns along the way. Lu Qiao saw adults buying candied hawthorns with their children and asked Jiang Yi, "Xiao Yi, do you want some candied hawthorns?"
Jiang Yi wanted to say, "I'm not a child anymore. Of course I won't eat candied hawthorns," but when she met her mother's expectant eyes, she agreed.
"good."
As she passed the security booth, she ate a candied hawthorn as she walked in.
The boy who walks the dog at home is named Anan. He has curly hair and always looks sleepy. He is the son of a couple who work as housekeepers here. He dropped out of school after graduating from junior high and is now eighteen years old. Because the family dog is close to him, he stays here to work with the housekeepers.
When Jiang Yi returned with a candied hawthorn, Anan was walking Jixiang, a tall, gray-white, seemingly silly husky. In the novel, this dog never liked the original owner. When the original owner was caught stealing, Jixiang chased and bit it. Then, the original owner poisoned Jixiang and lied that it had died from poisoning.
Jiang Yi knew that Jixiang didn't like her, so she walked to the side. Unexpectedly, it rubbed against her.
She tried to avoid him, but he kept coming closer.
This dog seems a bit too clingy.
Thinking of his ending in the novel, she felt a little sorry for him, so she reached out and touched his head. Jixiang seemed to like her too, and rolled over on the ground.
Seeing the candied hawthorn in her hand, it jumped up, wanting to take a bite.
Jiang Yi didn't want to give him her candied hawthorn, so she immediately dodged away, only to be rubbed against by him and giggle.
"Anan!" A clear, melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Jiang Yi looked over and saw Xu Wang sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with icy eyes, and said, "From now on, don't let Jixiang get close to her, and don't let Jixiang eat anything she feeds you."
The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere suddenly froze because of the boy's appearance.
Anan paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, young master."
Then, looking at her with pity, he took Jixiang's hand and left.
The boy, sitting in his wheelchair, turned and left with a cold gaze.
Jiang Yi stood there holding the candied hawthorn for a while before finally speaking: "That's inexplicable."
***
For the next two weeks, Jiang Yi attended classes as usual. Occasionally, when she encountered Xu Wang, this strange child would always look at her coldly, as if she were looking at an enemy. Jiang Yi wondered if he had been reborn or knew the plot or something, but she quickly dismissed the possibility.
The male protagonist in the novel is arrogant and domineering, not like this child who just looks at her and can't do anything but give her a cold shoulder. He probably just has a leg injury, which is why he's throwing a tantrum and finding fault with everyone.
At school, everyone knew she was the daughter of Xu Wang's nanny, and they would occasionally point and whisper about her, but since no one danced in front of her, she pretended not to see it.
That day, after she came out of school, her mother suddenly sent her a message.
【Xiaoyi, your Aunt Fu went to a party and left behind an earring. Could you help her look for it at home and have the driver bring it over later?】
Her mother went to a cocktail party with Aunt Fu.
Aunt Fu was comfortable using the same products her mother used, so she liked to bring her mother along to any important banquets.
Jiang Yi was a little confused. Why did her mother suddenly ask her to help find earrings?
However, thinking about how her mother lost her button a few days ago and searched for a long time without finding it, it was her meticulousness that led her to find it in a corner. Perhaps because of this, her mother trusted her more.
Therefore, she went to the big villa to look for it.
Many people in the family have been helping to search, but they can't find it anywhere. Even Jixiang is wandering around trying to join in the fun.
In Jiang Yi's opinion, losing an earring doesn't require a big search; you can just get a new one. But she also knows that wealthy people in her circle like unique and different things, so it's normal for them to be obsessed with a particular item.
Jiang Yi joined their team to help search, from downstairs all the way upstairs. Finally, seeing other aunties searching in the room, she hesitated for a moment and went in as well.
As she walked in, she saw a boy in a wheelchair in the opposite corridor, his eyes gleaming with cold light.
The opportunity has arrived.
Jiang Yi searched the room but couldn't find it, so she called her mother and said, "Have the driver check if it's in the car."
Lu Qiao thought about it for a moment and felt it was very likely, so she immediately had someone take apart the cushion in the car to look for it, and sure enough, they found it.
Upon hearing that they had been found, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the room.
After she went in, another maid went in and, as Xu Wang had instructed, checked the room to see if anything was missing. After checking, the maid found that nothing was missing and shook her head at Xu Wang.
Xu Wang then went in to check it out himself and found that nothing was missing.
How did he know? Because he's been paying extra attention lately, so he knows what's been added or removed from his parents' room.
Looking at the neatly arranged items in the drawer, disbelief flashed in his eyes.
How is that possible?
No... impossible...
He pondered for a long time and concluded that it must be because she had just arrived and therefore lacked the courage, or perhaps she hadn't had enough time to unleash her full power...
In any case, given enough time, she'll definitely slip up.
