Li Yinge's recovery was pretty good, so when Ye Xiao and Lin Dieying left the hospital for school, it was Li Yinge who took care of Han Xuewei!

Although it was said that she was taking care of Xuewei, in reality, Xuewei really didn't need much care anymore. Her main issue was some emotional instability, but now that was largely under control. She had learned to accept reality, so there was really no problem anymore!

When Ye Xiao and Lin Dieying walked out of the hospital, Lin Dieying's eyes were red because she had just cried.

"You won't look pretty if you keep crying, and besides, if you cry with me, others might think I'm heartless!" Ye Xiao cheerfully said to Lin Dieying.

Lin Dieying immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said, "Hmph, how can you still laugh? Do you know? My uncle has died!"

"Life is unpredictable, and death is a part of life, just like me; who knows if I will still be alive next second, but yet, we must live each moment with optimism!" Ye Xiao said to Lin Dieying with a smile.

Lin Dieying, listening to Ye Xiao's words, felt there was some truth to them and said with a low head, "But, I feel really upset."

"I know you're upset, but don't forget, what are you supposed to be doing right now?"

"An exam!"

"That's right, you are supposed to take an exam now," Ye Xiao said. "I think Uncle Han definitely wouldn't want his passing to cause you to mess up your exam. You must achieve the best results, although this time you can only aim for second place in the whole grade!"

"Second place in the grade?" Lin Dieying asked in confusion. "Why second place? I always come in first!"

"That was before. Now, the first place is mine. Didn't I tell you? I have already reserved it!"

"Ye Xiao!" Lin Dieying wiped her tears and then looked seriously at Ye Xiao.

Seeing Lin Dieying so serious, Ye Xiao also became a bit puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We don't have to boast to stay alive!" Lin Dieying said through gritted teeth.

Hearing Lin Dieying's words, Ye Xiao nearly burst out laughing. This kind-hearted girl could really make sharp remarks now!

Ye Xiao and Lin Dieying talked as they walked and soon arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.

"Ye Xiao, did you spend last night here with Sister Xuewei?" Lin Dieying held it in for a long time but finally couldn't help asking.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Xuewei is your cousin, and you definitely want her to be safe, so I had to stay up all night watching over her. Why? You're not thinking that something happened between us because I stayed with Xuewei overnight, or are you jealous?"

"No, why would I be?" Lin Dieying retorted. "Hmph, like you could take advantage of my cousin? Let me tell you, you better not mess with my cousin. Her temper wasn't great before, and now with my uncle's death, she's probably even more upset. You better not be asking for trouble!" Lin Dieying kindly warned.

Hearing Lin Dieying's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but softly chuckle. This girl really was thoughtful. But if Lin Dieying knew that he and Han Xuewei had already acted as a married couple for one night, he wondered how she would feel? Also, Xuewei's attitude towards him had already changed drastically; what would happen next?

Therefore, Ye Xiao just smiled gently and didn't say anything, but when he started the car to leave, he suddenly saw three to four people walking nearby. One of them was someone Ye Xiao recognized, the guy named Zhang Zilong whom he had beaten up in the internet cafe. At that moment, it seemed like he still had injuries as he quickly got into a Mercedes business car and left the parking lot.

Ye Xiao chuckled to himself. The world was indeed small; he had encountered that guy here again. He wondered what Zhang Zilong would feel when he saw him again.

If it weren't for the urgent need to rush back to Minghai Academy for an exam, Ye Xiao might have actually gotten out of the car to greet Zhang Zilong. After all, although Zhang Zilong had been beaten up quite badly last time, he was still quite impressive in Ye Xiao's eyes.

After Zhang Zilong's car left, Ye Xiao quickly drove off as well.

…

The third exam session of the current term at Minghai Academy had already started, and all the candidates were sitting tensely and seriously at their desks.

The scholarships at Minghai Academy were indeed very generous. Wealthy people might not care, but the students from average or even poorer backgrounds took them very seriously.

Ling Shuya looked up at the school gate. She wasn't in the mood to focus on the exam at all because she was constantly wondering if Ye Xiao would come to the exam.

Ling Shuya deep down had hoped that Ye Xiao would come, although Han Xuewei's father was shot yesterday, which was very pitiable and worrisome. Still, Ling Shuya hoped that Ye Xiao would appear. At least, showing up for the exam would prove that Ye Xiao took their agreement seriously. If Ye Xiao kept away, what would that imply? Could it be that Han Xuewei was the most important to him?

As Ling Shuya thought this, she couldn't help but silently chide herself, "What am I even thinking about? Whether this guy shows up or not, what's it to me? Hmm, let him not come, better yet, never come, this despicable fellow!"

Ling Shuya thought this, but she still kept looking outside from time to time.

Maybe it was because Ling Shuya looked up and outside too frequently that it caught the proctor's attention.

"Ling Shuya, focus on your exam!" The proctor still didn't dare to be too harsh with Ling Shuya. After all, her status was significant, and moreover, her grades were generally among the top three. So, they didn't believe Ling Shuya would cheat, but the principal had already issued strict orders about the examination hall, so they could only speak to Ling Shuya in a gentle manner.

When called out, Ling Shuya immediately lowered her head to work on her paper and dared not speak.

However, after a while, Ling Shuya unconsciously continued to look outside. This morning's exam subject was a foreign language, something Ling Shuya was quite skilled in!

Foreign language as a subject is just a language, and if one knows the techniques of learning it, it really is the simplest subject. Of course, most people find it very troublesome.

The proctor noticed Ling Shuya again, frowning. If it were any other student, they would have been asked to leave the classroom by now, but Ling Shuya was different. The proctors didn't dare go too far, so one of them approached her with a smile but didn't speak.

Knowing what the proctor was thinking, Ling Shuya frowned and gave the proctor a sharp glare.

Seeing Ling Shuya glare at him, the proctor immediately trembled inside, wondering if he had offended this rich young lady. It wouldn't be worth it to offend her over an examination!

Coincidentally, just as this proctor was feeling unhappy, suddenly someone at the door requested entry.

The proctor immediately turned to look at the door where a student stood, apparently intending to enter the room.

"Stop right there!" The proctor, already upset from worrying about Ling Shuya, was in a bad mood, and he directed all his pent-up anger towards this unfamiliar student.

This time, Yao Zhengming wanted the exams at Minghai Academy to yield honest results, so he had required that no teacher proctor the same class continuously, effectively preventing some instances of cheating.

Ye Xiao had just entered the classroom, planning to quickly get to his seat, but unexpectedly, this unfamiliar proctor started yelling at him!

Ye Xiao looked at the proctor, very puzzled.

"Teacher, is there a problem?"

The proctor glared at Ye Xiao with a very stern face and demanded, "Who are you?"

Hearing the proctor's question, Ye Xiao replied with a bitter smile, "Teacher, I am supposed to be here taking the exam!"

"An examinee?" Clearly, the proctor was just looking for trouble with Ye Xiao; otherwise, he felt his anger wouldn't subside. He immediately challenged, "You know you are an examinee? Don't you know the exam has already started? I have never seen such a rule-breaking student like you. You don't need to take the exam!"

Ye Xiao, hearing this, his previously smiling face suddenly turned displeased.

"Are you joking with me? Taking the exam is my right as a student at Minghai Academy. I don't think you have the right to revoke that!"

The proctor, hearing Ye Xiao's response which clearly didn't put him in his place, was even more displeased and angrily ordered, "How dare you talk back to your teacher! Get out now!"

"Get out!"

Ye Xiao's response was simple, just one word, but it left the proctor momentarily stunned.

As a teacher at Minghai Academy, to be so boldly insulted by a student was not unheard of, but in his memory, there was no such thin student like this.

Moreover, this was happening in front of so many students, so the proctor, even knowing he might be somewhat in the wrong, still insisted on maintaining his dignity as a teacher.

"You dare to insult a teacher, come out with me now!" Having said this, the proctor swiftly moved to Ye Xiao and grabbed his wrist, apparently ready to forcefully throw him out.
