64 Provincial Competition
After sending off her friend, Yuan Xiao helped Feng Mei clean up the kitchen. After experiencing so many things, Yuan Xiao, Feng Mei and Shen Hai had become much closer. There was no longer any estrangement.
“Xiao Xiao, does Fang Yao like you?” Feng Mei was meticulous. It was impossible for her not to notice Fang Yao’s attitude towards Yuan Xiao. The child’s eyes lit up when Yuan Yao picked up some food for him. How could Feng Mei not notice?
“Maybe, but we’re still young and haven’t thought too much about it. Right now, we just want to get into a university.” Yuan Xiao did not deliberately hide it from Feng Mei. There was indeed some ambiguity between her and Fang Yao, but Yuan Xiu did not plan to fall in love for the time being.
“Alright.” Feng Mei did not expect Yuan Xiao to be so honest. She smiled and said to her, “Mom is not that rigid. If you have a boyfriend, you can tell me. If that child is not bad, I won’t stop you.”
“Then what do you think of Fang Yao?” Yuan Xiao asked without thinking too much.
“Not bad. We can get along and see how it goes.”
Hearing Feng Mei’s words, Yuan Xiao stopped washing the dishes. “Really? Didn’t you say that he didn’t look friendly?”
“Didn’t I say that I won’t judge a book by its cover in the future?” Feng Mei smiled. “That child is very handsome. Your mother used to care a lot about looks. Don’t think that your father is old now. He used to be the most famous handsome man on their entire street.”
Yuan Xiao was amused by Feng Mei’s words.
In fact, Feng Mei felt that Fang Yao was not bad. It was not because he was good-looking, but because she noticed Fang Yao’s gaze on Yuan Xiao. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his emotions fluctuated with Yuan Xiao’s actions.
Feng Mei felt that it was really rare to have a boy whose eyes were filled with Yuan Xiao, so Fang Yao’s impression of him improved a lot. However, Yuan Xiao did not know the reason.
The study group organized by Yuan Xiao went very smoothly. Li Chang’s foundation was very good, and with Yuan Xiao’s help, her improvement was very obvious. Although Zhao Yu and Fang Yao’s foundations were poor, they were relatively smart, and their attitudes were more upright. They had also made obvious improvements.
Yuan Xiao had been busy helping them formulate their study plans, and her provincial competition was coming soon.
Yuan Xiao was not nervous at all. Her current learning ability could almost reach a photographic memory, so the results of the provincial competition could be said to be without any suspense.
The venue of Yuan Xiao’s Provincial Competition was in another school. She rejected Fang Yao and Li Chang’s company and asked them to revise in their own homes and prepare to continue having tuition with the study group after the exam.
Yuan Xiao came to the examination venue alone. She felt that there was no need to make such a simple examination too grand. After the examination ended, she handed in her paper early and left the examination hall. She still had to tutor the students in the study group. She did not intend to waste too much time on the road, so she deliberately missed the time when everyone handed in their papers.
“Yuan Xiao?” A quiet male voice sounded from behind. Yuan Xiao turned around and saw Wang Chen, whom she had met once in the underground garage.
“It’s really you. Why did you come to our school?” Wang Chen had a good impression of Yuan Xiao. He was a little surprised to see her in his school.
“I’m here to participate in the math competition.” Yuan Xiao’s tone was very calm, but Wang Chen looked at his watch in surprise. He muttered to himself, “Doesn’t the math contest end at 11 o’clock?”
“I handed in my paper half an hour early.” After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she saw Wang Chen’s eyes widen in shock.
“You handed in your paper in advance for the provincial competition?” Wang Chen felt that the girl in front of him was a little special. The fact that she could participate in the provincial competition meant that Yuan Xiao’s results must be very good. However, her ability to hand in her paper in advance was a little terrifying.
“Can’t I?” Yuan Xiao felt that Wang Chen’s current appearance did not look like an A-list celebrity. The current Wang Chen looked a little too thin and weak. Thinking of the person who bullied him last time, she asked with concern, “How have you been recently? Did you encounter any trouble?”
Wang Chen shook his head. He looked at Yuan Xiao and said helplessly, “No one will find trouble with me now, but the end of the semester is coming soon. My brother said that if I don’t do well this time, he wants me to go to the martial arts school to practice boxing during the holidays.”
Yuan Xiao thought of how Wang Chen looked when he was boxing and found it a little funny. However, he did look a little thin.
“It’s good to practice. Just treat it as strengthening your body.”
Wang Chen lowered his head helplessly. “I’ve already signed up for the vocal class during the holidays. I’ve always wanted to learn how to sing, but my brother doesn’t support me at all.”
