Xia Jinyuan watched Ye Jian as she walked towards him. His deep and dark eyes contained a tender smile. “Next stop is the library. We can head back to the town before ten o’clock.”
Unlike other civilians who were terrified before entering the police station and drenched in cold sweat as they left, this audacious girl was not afraid at all because she could say goodbye to the two police officers casually.
Never had Ye Jian been to the municipal library. In her past life, she only went to the municipal bus station. Smiling, she asked, “It’s not very far, is it? I want to buy more learning materials.” She wanted to bring back all the textbooks and mock exams of the ninth grade.
“Ten minutes,” said Xia Jinyuan. Holding a file bag given to him by Commissioner Liu, leisurely and elegantly, he stepped forward. “Here is your exclusive driver who is here for you anytime, Ye Jian.”
Exclusive driver… I’m afraid the public would be outraged if a Major serves as my exclusive driver, thought Ye Jian.
When they arrived at the library, Ye Jian went directly to the area of review materials for middle school students on the third floor, choosing five sets of rather difficult comprehensive exam paper of the eighth grade and the highlighted knowledge and exam paper of the ninth grade.
Standing next to her, Xia Jinyuan had liked to give her some advice at the beginning. As he saw her slender fingers sweeping through piles of exam paper and picking up several sets for comparison, he realized that his suggestions would be unnecessary.
Xia Jinyuan was not much surprised when Ye Jian picked up the review materials of the ninth grade. Instead, he just slightly raised his eyebrows, becoming more intrigued.
“Are you going to review all of these within this year?” asked Xia Jinyuan as they went out of the library. He was carrying all the learning materials and the exam paper. “Do you plan to spend your summer vacation reviewing these materials?”
Ye Jian, who had got into the car, turned around to look at the large piles of materials on the back seat. Smiling, she said casually, “Uh-huh. I’m going to learn by myself. If I can manage, I can devote the whole year of my ninth grade to training.”
…
Xia Jinyuan started his car. He remained silent for a short while. When he looked at her again, there was a subtle astonished look in his black eyes. “The whole year of your ninth grade… You mean, you are planning to study all the textbooks of the eighth and ninth grade by yourself in the first half of the year?”
Although he also worked hard from the age of fourteen and enrolled in the military school at sixteen, it wasn’t a complete self-study process for him!
“That’s the plan. So far, it isn’t a very difficult thing. I want to be a senior high student in the Provincial No.1 Middle School, which is far away from my town so I will only come back during the summer and winter vacation. So, I must seize the time.” Since she had gotten a second chance to live a life, how could she afford to waste the wonderful times!
Ye Jian was extremely harsh on herself. For her, hardships were nothing.
How could she disappoint Grandpa Gen and Principal Chen who had been educating her painstakingly? So, it was really not a big deal for her to endure hardships.
Xia Jinyuan gazed at her. A pearl would always shine, and the time would come for a diamond in the rough.
Her persistence and endurance would lay the foundation for her success, enabling her to ascend to her peak steadily and step by step in the future.
“Work hard and do not let down the two seniors. Your gradual progress would be the biggest reward for them,” said Xia Jinyuan gently to Ye Jian, who was working hard so as not to disappoint herself or her seniors. He was driving his car steadily to the downtown area.
Ye Jian nodded slightly and picked up a set of exam paper to read slowly.
