Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before Xia Wan had even stepped into the school gate, she was hooked by the arm from behind by Liu Hua, who had run up from behind.
Xia Wan was startled, turning her head to see Liu Hua’s face full of smiles, unusually spirited. “What’s with you today? What’s making you so happy?”
Liu Hua’s steps were light, her smile even broader. “This morning I heard that Zhuang Peng got beaten up again!”
“When did this happen?” Xia Wan looked at Liu Hua’s schadenfreude expression, puzzled, “You’re this happy about him getting beaten up? Did he offend you again?”
Liu Hua stuck out her tongue. “It’s his own fault for always speaking without thinking, he deserves to be beaten!”
Xia Wan didn’t take this matter to heart, chatting with Liu Hua about Zhuang Peng’s bad deeds while walking towards their class.
They didn’t see Zhuang Peng all morning until people in the class started discussing it at noon.
“I heard Zhuang Peng was beaten so badly he ended up in the hospital, he’s really in a bad way now!”
“I heard he offended someone and got beaten up by several people!”
“Isn’t it said that he stole something and was beaten up after being discovered?”
“I heard he was retaliated against by some thugs!”
Sitting in her seat, Xia Wan listened to the others’ discussions but didn’t take it to heart.
“Wanwan, did you know about Xia Ye dropping out of school?” Liu Hua hurried in from outside, bypassed the people gossiping about Zhuang Peng, rushed to Xia Wan, and asked in a low voice.
Xia Wan’s eyes widened in surprise. ‘When did this happen?”
Liu Hua pouted. “I heard it was last week.”
“You didn’t know?”
Xia Wan shook her head. “I haven’t heard.’
“Ever since our families split up, we’ve rarely interacted, and with Xia Ye’s attitude towards me, she wouldn’t come to tell me these things.”
Liu Hua nodded in understanding, then looked around and, finding no one paying attention to them, lowered her voice even more. “1 heard that Xia Ye dropped out because she’s pregnant and going home to get married and have a baby!”
Xia Wan was even more shocked. “What did you say?”
Liu Hua made a silencing gesture immediately. “I don’t know if it’s true, I just overheard people from the next class discussing it.”
Xia Wan frowned, thinking. It seemed like when Xia He and Chen Lian came to cause trouble, they mentioned something about Xia Ye being mistreated.
Could it be true?
Then whose child is it?
Xia Wan was puzzled but couldn’t figure it out.
After thinking it over, Xia Wan decided to give up. “Forget it! Why should I worry so much about her affairs!”
Because of the reception group, Xia Chen’s popularity at school skyrocketed.
The number of girls surrounding Xia Chen also increased.
Xia Chen appeared overwhelmed, while Zhou Chen beside him clenched his teeth in anger.
“Xia Chen, you’re really amazing! I heard you even exchanged contact information with that foreigner?”
“Xia Chen, teach me English! My grades just won’t improve, it’s so frustrating!” “Xia Chen, how do you study? Can you take me with you?”
Zhou Chen slammed his textbook on the desk with a “snap,” immediately drawing the attention of many.
Zhou Chen muttered “accidental, slipped,” and then lowered his head, pretending to organize his desk.
Everyone’s attention returned to Xia Chen, no longer paying attention to Zhou Chen.
Song Zhi scoffed, mocking to the person beside him. “Some people are just petty, jealous of others for no reason!”
Zhou Chen glared fiercely at Song Zhi. “I haven’t provoked you!”
“I didn’t say you!” Song Zhi immediately retorted, “Why are you being so sensitive!”
Zhou Chen was again deflated and said no more.
Song Zhi continued happily, “Xia Chen really made our class proud this time.
I’m treating everyone today, let’s all go to the new tea house for tea!”
Xia Chen wanted to decline, but before he could speak, Jiang Rong came in.
“Teacher Jiang, we’re going to the tea house after school to celebrate for Xia Chen, we’d like to invite you too!” Song Zhi stood up and invited Jiang Rong.
“I’m glad to see you all so united! Have fun, but I won’t join you!” Jiang Rong said cheerfully, “I’ll cover the expenses for today!”
Jiang Rong’s words immediately brought cheers from the class.
Although Song Zhi’s chance to treat was taken, he was delighted to have the opportunity to invite Xia Chen out..
