Hu Jian found it a little funny. “What is considered to be over”

Wang Xin choked for a moment, her face turned green and red.

“However, I accept your challenge.” Hu Jian gave her a way out as if she was making a fool of her.

As Wang Xin thought of Hu Jian losing the competition and making a fool of herself in public, her expression softened a little. She snorted coldly, “See you on the competition field.”

Wang Xin left arrogantly while Yang Si remained where she was.

Qiao Han had already walked in front of everyone. He took a deep breath and asked Hu Jian, “Are you okay?”

Hu Jian was extremely puzzled. “What could possibly happen to me?”

“They…” Qiao Han glanced at Yang Si and Wang Xin, who had left, implying something.

Yang Si’s face instantly turned pale.

Hu Jian did not want to talk to Qiao Han anymore, so she said, “Oh, it’s fine.”

Her attitude was still cold. The failed meeting last time and the recent incidents of her being close to others once again lingered in Qiao Han’s mind. It caused him to feel depressed.

He really did not understand why she was so difficult to get close to now. In the past, she would be happy for an entire day just because of something he had casually said.

His chest felt very heavy and he even could not breathe smoothly.

His excessive concern for Hu Jian made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort could not be resolved by himself so he could only look for Hu Jian to assess the situation first.

The bell for class suddenly rang at this time, interrupting both their intentions…

Qiao Han used the last bit of time to finally muster up his courage and asked, “Do you have a study group for the Math Olympiad Competition? If you don’t, join my group.”

Yang Si’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

She looked at the handsome youth and a sense of disbelief flashed across her originally pale face.

What was there to like about a woman like Hu Jian? She had stolen his attention so easily!

In the past, he was clearly only focused on studying!

Her hands clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her flesh, forcing herself not to leave.

She wanted to see what he was going to do!

Hu Jian was also stunned for a moment. She had never thought that he would say this.

However, before she could consider, she had already instinctually rejected him.

“I don’t need a group.”

These simple words were like a knife, stabbing into Qiao Han’s heart and numbing him of all his senses.

His face turned as pale as Yang Si’s.

As the bell had already rung, coupled with Hu Jian’s encouragement, everyone was back at their seats. The two of them thus stood out in front of the Hu Jian.

They looked in the direction of the Hu Jian with gossipy eyes.

Did they not say that Qiao Han was not interested in the Hu Jian?

So why did he take the initiative to invite her to study?

It seemed that the rumors were not true.

After a long while, Qiao Han finally found his voice.

“Hu Jian, don’t be ungrateful!”

Qiao Han originally wanted to talk to her properly this time but he could not let his anger go. He felt as if he had been trampled under Hu Jian’s feet. The conflicted feeling that he had for many days finally erupted at this moment.

When Hu Jian heard this, the rage in her heart was sparked.

She was about to refute when Chen Yu had already walked in with her textbook.

Qiao Han took a glance, then turned around and left.

Yang Si followed behind his every step.

Her petite face was filled with resentment.

If it was not for Hu Jian, she would not have been asked by Wang Xin to do such a thing.

She would thus not have lost the rights to stand by his side.

She rolled her eyes and struck while the iron was hot. “Qiao Han, Hu Jian isn’t worth it at all. That fickle woman loved one person yesterday and another today. Just based on what I know, I can’t even count the number of people she has liked with my fingers.”

Qiao Han paused in his footsteps as if he was weighing what he had just done.

However, he did not respond to Yang Si’s words.

Right now, his heart seemed to be in a state of confusion, not knowing the solutions to his problem.

When he was about to reach the classroom, he seemed to have finally cleared up a fact.

He turned his head and said to Yang Si, “You’re right.”

…

Some people blamed others for their mistakes, while others would do anything to prove themselves.

Hu Jian had never thought that she would be attacked by her own words so quickly. Yesterday, she had said that there were no problems, but today, a heated discussion between the three of them broke out.

The topic was started by her. In order to trick the two of them into doing the previous year’s questions again, she told them that the previous year’s questions were very interesting. She wanted to see if there were other methods to solve them other than hers.

Cheng Weiyu was stunned for a moment. However, she smiled gently and did not expose her.

There were many ways to tackle a Math Olympiad problem, but there were usually only one or two ways to solve it. No matter how complicated the question was, it could not escape the operation of basic knowledge.

Thinking of the girl’s straightforward words yesterday, Cheng Weiyu understood.

In order to ease Hu Jian’s embarrassment, she told Li Yang that she could not understand the questions from previous years.

Although Hu Jian did not know much about Cheng Weiyu’s character, it did not prevent her from having a good impression of her at the moment.

Looking at their clear eyes, Li Yang sighed and started from the beginning.

This way, Li Yang acted as a free laborer to solve the questions..
