Dine with Zhou Jing and Gao Lei

“Right!” Several people echoed.

“It’s none of your business! If you don’t know about our grudges, then stop judging us. You are ruining the reputation of the top students.” Mu Beihan retorted without hesitation.

They were instantly embarrassed. They really didn’t know about the grudges between Mu Beihan and Fan Xiaoyu, but they saw Mu Beihan picking on Fan Xiaoyu!

“Even if there are grudges between you, it’s not appropriate to argue in public,” someone said.

“Are you deaf? Why didn’t you say anything when she sarcastically insulted people just now?” Mu Beihan retorted again.

The boy was taken aback and felt a bit wronged. He didn’t hear Fan Xiaoyu’s sarcastic remark just then. action

However, he said nothing else.

“Whatever, it’s boring. Mr. Chen, let’s go!” Mu Beihan sneered disdainfully and asked Mr. Chen to leave.

Mr. Chen didn’t object to Mu Beihan targeting Fan Xiaoyu from beginning to end because he was well aware of the grudges between them. Even he didn’t like Fan Xiaoyu… he might even hate her.

After seeing the result, Leng Xiaoyao and Zhou Jing also left. Everyone else left one after another as well.

The students who failed the exam could leave at any time. Before leaving, they only needed to register for check-out. If they didn’t want to leave, they could stay until tomorrow, but had to leave at the latest tomorrow. The Education Bureau had no reason to continue paying for their accommodation.

“I thought Mu Beihan stood up for you because she hates evil. Now I realize it’s because of their personal grudge!” Zhou Jing reacted belatedly.

Leng Xiaoyao smiled but didn’t say anything. She had already seen it long ago. It was obvious that Fan Xiaoyu had really offended Mu Beihan before.

Anyway, Mu Beihan didn’t leave a bad impression on her, but Fan Xiaoyu made her dislike her very much.

Back at the hotel.

It was still early for dinner, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

At 12 pm, they all appeared in the restaurant for a meal.

The competition would start at 2 pm that afternoon, so after eating, they didn’t have much time to rest or go to the café. They simply sat in the restaurant and chatted or played on their phones. Leng Xiaoyao was playing on her phone with her head down, while some were playing games, sitting next to Leng Xiaoyao.

At that moment, it was mainly about relaxing. Even if they reviewed again, it wouldn’t be of much use.

Hearing the sounds of someone playing games, Leng Xiaoyao suddenly thought that she hadn’t learned about games in Seven Star Country yet! Therefore, she got up and went over to ask, “What game is the most popular now?”

The boy blushed when he saw Leng Xiaoyao and couldn’t believe that such a beautiful girl would take the initiative to talk to him. He shyly answered, “Hero Battle and Ace League.”

“Can I watch you play a game?” asked Leng Xiaoyao. Although she was a game expert, every game was different and she hadn’t played this one before.

Since there was a boy playing the game in front of her, she wouldn’t bother to explore it herself.

“No problem.” The boy replied, a little embarrassed. He started a new game and explained it to Leng Xiaoyao as he played.

Meanwhile, Fan Xiaoyu couldn’t help cursing Leng Xiaoyao in her heart. However, she didn’t dare to say anything out loud.

She believed that Leng Xiaoyao was just using the game as an excuse to flirt with the boy.

Women were scary when they got jealous. Even though the boy wasn’t ugly, he wasn’t particularly handsome either. Leng Xiaoyao was obviously an outstanding girl. Would a girl like her really be interested in an ordinary boy?

No one would believe it.

The boy let Leng Xiaoyao play a round of the game and explained it to her.

Fortunately, there was nothing similar to the game she was developing, so she was relieved.

If there were any similarities, she would have to make changes to avoid being accused of plagiarism.

Soon it was time for the afternoon competition.

The competition consisted of a hundred listening questions, with ten people per group.

Two classes of fifty people each took the test.

Leng Xiaoyao had an excellent memory, so answering the questions was a breeze for her. She only had trouble with a few questions she hadn’t seen before.

Therefore, she had to guess the answers.

“How did it go?” Zhou Jing asked when Leng Xiaoyao came out. “Everything else was fine, but I didn’t know the answers to a few questions.” Leng Xiaoyao replied honestly.

“That’s okay. Just because you didn’t know doesn’t mean others did.” Zhou Jing comforted her, even though she knew that Leng Xiaoyao didn’t need it.

“Um, my friend is coming to join us for dinner tonight at the restaurant next to the hotel. Would you like to come?” Zhou Jing asked.

“Is that okay?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.

“It’s fine,” Zhou Jing said. She wouldn’t force Leng Xiaoyao to accept it.

“Great, thanks,” said Leng Xiaoyao.

When they returned to the hotel, Gao Lei was already waiting in the lobby.

Zhang Yawen was the first to enter and saw Gao Lei. Knowing that he was here to see Zhou Jing, she couldn’t help feeling jealous.

Right at that moment, Gao Lei looked up and smiled. He stood up and walked towards them.

Zhang Yawen felt her heart skip a beat as she mistakenly thought Gao Lei was walking towards her. She stood there, smiling at him as well.

As Gao Lei approached, Zhang Yawen opened her mouth. “Gao…”

However, before she could finish, Gao Lei had already passed her.

Zhang Yawen abruptly turned around and saw that Zhou Jing stood not far behind her. At the same time, Gao Lei was walking towards Zhou Jing.

Zhang Yawen felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed of herself, feeling like a contemptible wretch making trouble.

“You guys are back. Leng Xiaoyao, let’s go dine out,” Gao Lei said, specifically inviting Leng Xiaoyao.

“Sure.” Leng Xiaoyao replied and followed them.

Watching their departing backs, Zhang Yawen couldn’t hide her resentment and was caught by Mu Beihan.

Knowing the reason, Mu Beihan looked down on Zhang Yawen, but she didn’t say anything. She simply sneered.

Noticing Mu Beihan’s sneer, Zhang Yawen realized what had happened and glared at Mu Beihan. However, she didn’t dare to say anything for fear of drawing more attention.

After having dinner with them, Gao Lei accompanied them back to the hotel and left after seeing them enter.

In the car, Gao Lei gave a sigh. He was extremely distressed about his relationship with Zhou Jing. He wondered how he could make her accept him.

…

The results of the second round were also announced the next day at 10 am, with Leng Xiaoyao still ranking second.
