Chapter 250: Chapter 248: The Ritual of the College Entrance Exam, Qijie’s New Flame
"Exactly, we were even planning to come back and see you whenever we had nothing to do, but you don’t even want to see us."
Sebastian Winn pretended to be heartbroken and clutched his chest as if he’d been gravely wounded.
Immediately, it was as if some kind of switch was flipped.
A group of people instantly transformed into drama queens.
"These three years have been a waste for us."
"Our gentle little Grace never expected you’d want us gone so much, it’s truly heartbreaking."
"I thought we had wonderful memories from these three years, but it turns out Grace has been planning to never see us again."
Grace Carter listened to each of them play their part, her cheeks twitching, and couldn’t help but wonder if she really felt that way.
Otherwise, why do they look like they’ve been abandoned by a heartless lover?
Claire Green watched her stunned expression and coughed lightly, a faint smirk on her lips.
Over the years, this group of people had a great time acting as drama queens.
"That’s enough from you all," Grace laughed and scolded, "When did I ever say that?"
"Hmm, you didn’t say it, but you might be thinking it," John Sinclair said lazily, crossing his legs.
After all this fuss, the sentimental mood Grace had just brewed disappeared instantly, leaving only helplessness.
However, thinking about how they all promised to come back and see her, she felt joyful again.
"Alright," Grace clapped her hands to signal for everyone to quiet down, "We have exams tomorrow, so make sure to bring your exam admission cards, don’t miss anything. If anyone has questions, now’s the time to ask."
Isabella Xyler chuckled playfully, "With Grace’s daily reminders, what could be missed? If there’s anything unclear, it must be as chatty with Lawrence as you are with us."
Everyone burst into laughter, all teasing Grace with a gossiping air.
Ever since the physics teacher won Grace’s heart, she’s been glowing with happiness.
The other teachers at the office felt jealous enough, and Lawrence frequently showed up to flaunt, feeding them all dog food.
He even feared others wouldn’t know they’re dating, often proudly declaring it, making it amusing and maddening.
"I was kindly reminding you all, yet you make fun of me."
Not expecting her to mention Lawrence White, a blush crept up Grace’s earlobes, and she pretended to remain calm as she spoke.
At this moment.
Claire Green’s voice, with a hint of roguishness, resonated, "Alright, keep teasing and Grace’s face might turn completely red."
Finally.
She swept her eyes around nonchalantly, "Looking forward to the surprise you all have for me."
Though a simple sentence, for the group in class six, it was a tremendous encouragement.
They understood that when Olivia spoke these words, it meant to give it their all.
Since that was the case, how could they disappoint her?
...
"I had Aunt Ye prepare breakfast, go have some first."
In the morning, Julian Sia watched the girl leisurely come downstairs, casually set down his magazine, and naturally took her hand, leading her to the dining table.
"Aunt Ye’s back?" Claire Green sat with a lazy posture, raising an eyebrow at him.
Previously, Aunt Ye felt she was disturbing them by staying here and mentioned returning to the old residence, to which the man quickly agreed.
Julian Sia chuckled softly, "Yeah, it was ordered by the old man for her to come back and prepare your college entrance exam meals."
What was that?
Claire Green was visibly taken aback, after a few seconds, she nonchalantly replied, "It’s really not necessary."
This kind of ceremonial encouragement won’t have any real impact, perhaps only reducing anxiety a bit.
Julian Sia’s eyes gleamed with laughter as he placed breakfast before her, "The old man’s orders, it’s all about the ceremony."
After all, the older generation firmly believes in these things.
Claire Green lowered her gaze to the breakfast in front of her and remained silent for a while.
After a moment, she quietly spoke, "Brother, are you sure this is ceremony?"
The sandwich was cut into long strips, not to mention even sevens and zeros weren’t spared.
Before the man could respond, Aunt Ye cheerfully came in from the courtyard. Seeing the items on the table, she beamed.
"Miss Lu, hurry and eat, after the college entrance exam meal, everything will go smoothly."
She had meticulously prepared it.
Perhaps noticing the girl wasn’t moving, Aunt Ye, thinking she didn’t understand, casually explained with a smile, "The sandwiches cut into long strips represent the number one, hoping for Miss Lu a smooth ride on her exam journey..."
While she passionately explained, Claire Green’s eyes slightly smiled, picking up her breakfast and eating it at leisure.
Seeing her eat, Aunt Ye’s smile grew, satisfaction evident in her eyes, silently pondering what kind of breakfast to prepare the next day?
This needed careful thought.
The girl, slowly eating breakfast, was entirely unaware that her next two days were meticulously planned.
After finally finishing breakfast, Julian Sia slightly bent over to lift the backpack on the sofa, taking her hand to head out.
...
As Aunt Ye said, the road was smooth all the way, and they arrived at the exam venue without a hitch.
At this point, John Sinclair and two others were already waiting outside the exam venue.
They had thought this college entrance exam would separate them from Olivia, but unexpectedly, they were assigned to the same exam center. Though they weren’t in the same classroom, they were satisfied.
"Ajin, just perform as usual."
As Julian Sia watched the girl preparing to open the door and get out, his deep, casual voice sounded.
With a slight movement of her fingers, Claire Green grinned, "Just perform as usual, aren’t you afraid I’ll mess it up?"
"I’m confident in Ajin’s abilities."
The man’s laughter was soft and teasing as he reached for the backpack in the back seat and handed it to her.
Watching her silhouette, Julian Sia chuckled softly.
"Olivia, you finally made it."
Sebastian Winn exclaimed as he saw the girl leisurely approaching them.
"You seem impatient." Claire Green lifted her eyelids slightly, her calm demeanor starkly contrasting the other test-takers around.
Many parents who hadn’t left yet couldn’t help but comment upon seeing the girl’s looks.
"What a nice-looking young girl."
"Yeah, she looks so well-behaved, unlike my brat who would wreak havoc if not kept in check."
"I just hope her academic performance matches, but being in this exam center, she shouldn’t be bad."
Overhearing the adults’ chatter, John Sinclair and the others’ shoulders quaked with suppressed laughter, their faces flushed.
Olivia, well-behaved?
If these people knew about Olivia’s antics, they’d probably regret their words today.
Everyone in Bayne City’s major schools knows of Olivia’s ’great achievements’, which are far from being associated with well-behaved.
"Is that funny?" Claire Green spoke nonchalantly.
Isabella Xyler suppressed her rising smile, shaking her head as she suggested, "No, let’s head in."
Upon hearing this.
Claire Green glanced at her and then indifferently averted her gaze.
Suddenly.
An excited voice came from behind.
"Olivia."
Claire Green and her companions turned to see a girl eagerly running towards them, followed by a boy looking resigned.
Isabella Xyler narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, deliberately ignoring the boy while focusing on the girl.
If she remembered correctly, this girl had competed with Olivia the last time. Did that mean she was ready to snatch Olivia away?
Thinking this, Isabella’s face turned cold, and she subtly pulled at someone’s sleeve, a bit of grievance in her eyes.
"I can’t believe Olivia found someone new."
