Chapter 59: Senior Student Ziyi’s Strong Defense 1
“Your mind is slow, and you won’t even let others say it?” Shui Birong became enraged, “If it were anyone else, so slow, they wouldn’t even dare to see Ziyi again! You still have the nerve to ask Ziyi to eat with you. Only a pig has a mind and nerve like yours! Ye Chuxiao, why don’t you just get out of the school?”
Ye Chuxiao did not erupt into a furious verbal spat like Shui Birong, a shrew. She simply said one sentence coldly.
In a foreign language, Shui Birong paused; she didn’t understand.
However, Shui Birong believed Ye Chuxiao definitely didn’t say anything good. She became even angrier and questioned, “Ye Chuxiao, what did you say about me? If you have the guts, say it in Chinese!”
Ye Chuxiao said faintly, “So Senior Student Shui isn’t smart enough to understand everything!”
The surrounding students all quieted down, watching Ye Chuxiao and Shui Birong spar, including the girls who had been mocking Ye Chuxiao earlier.
This was too much of a surprise for everyone. Ye Chuxiao was usually quiet and gentle, getting along with everyone. She never expected that when faced with Shui Birong’s aggressive bullying, she wouldn’t cry but instead fight back against Shui Birong by countering her moves!
This truly made everyone look at her with new eyes!
Being subtly countered by Ye Chuxiao implying she had an intelligence problem, Shui Birong, unable to contain her anger, pointed at Ye Chuxiao and cursed, “Ye Chuxiao, you must be cursing me! Otherwise, why don’t you dare to say it in Chinese?”
Amidst the tense atmosphere, a calm, magnetic voice suddenly spoke, “Xiaoxiao was speaking French. She was just asking if you had eaten and telling you not to eat too much salty food, as it’s bad for your health!”
Everyone present turned to look in the direction of the voice. They saw Lu Ziyi, with his imposing presence, walking over with steady steps. The surrounding students instinctively made way for him.
“Ziyi!” Shui Birong, relying on the fact that she was Lu Ziyi’s high school classmate, put on a wronged expression and complained first, “Ye Chuxiao is too rude to her senior. She failed her Advanced Mathematics exam, and when I showed concern, she actually mocked me for being nosy.”
Lu Ziyi walked to Ye Chuxiao’s side and said to Shui Birong with a calm expression, “Classmate Shui, Xiaoxiao is already feeling down about her exam results. At this time and place, you gathered so many students to publicize Xiaoxiao’s grades. Do you truly believe you are genuinely concerned about your junior?”
Shui Birong’s face paled. Unconvinced, she retorted, “Ye Chuxiao’s Advanced Mathematics grades were posted on the school forum by someone. Everyone saw it, so it wasn’t me who revealed it for the first time! I happened to meet her at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory and asked about her situation. How is that not genuine concern for her!”
“There’s no need for Classmate Shui to worry!” Lu Ziyi said in a deep voice, “I am the one tutoring Xiaoxiao in Advanced Mathematics. Her poor performance is because I didn’t teach her well. I will continue teaching her until she understands!”
Shui Birong became anxious. Her original intention was for Lu Ziyi to stop paying attention to the foolish Ye Chuxiao, and for Ye Chuxiao to feel ashamed and stop seeing Lu Ziyi. But why was Lu Ziyi so stubborn, becoming even closer to Ye Chuxiao?
Shui Birong said anxiously, “Ziyi, everyone knows you are a genius. Advanced Mathematics is as simple as primary school math for you! It’s Ye Chuxiao who is slow-witted. Her math has always been poor. She only scored fifty-eight on her college entrance exam. Who knows what connections she used to get into our school!”
The surrounding students were astonished. Ye Chuxiao only scored fifty-eight out of one hundred and fifty on the college entrance exam for Mathematics? Their university was not only a key university but also ranked in the top five nationwide. Ye Chuxiao was actually able to study here?
Could it be, as Shui Birong claimed, that Ye Chuxiao was a connection-seeker?
