My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 228: It’s Not What You Think
Can he say he was afraid?
No one would believe it even if he did. Forget it!
Besides, there’s no need for him to explain to her. If this girl gives up pestering him because of a misunderstanding, all the better.
Jiang Xuyue saw that he did not continue to deny it, and became even surer in her heart:
He must really like Jiang Yuan.
What to do?
Should she give up?
This is the first time she has liked someone so much.
It’s so frustrating!
At this moment, the class bell rang, and she could only glance at the other party before returning to her own seat.
The second half of the third year in high school, the entire grade was filled with a tense atmosphere. The countdown clock on the wall reminded everyone that there was not much time left.
Xu Jiayan came back from the office and was immediately grabbed by Xu Fang, who gossiped, "What did the principal want from you?"
Xu Jiayan: "Nothing much, just talking to me about the recommendation."
Xu Fang’s eyes lit up as he said, "Has the slot for the recommendation been decided? Can I congratulate you in advance for becoming a member of Qingbei?"
Then he looked at Xu Jiayan with indescribable envy.
They were still struggling with the college entrance examination, but someone had already stepped through the doors of the top academy in advance.
"Not yet!" said Xu Jiayan.
Xu Fang was stunned for a moment, "Not yet? It’s been so long, what is the school thinking? Isn’t it almost time to report?"
Then he thought of a possibility and widened his eyes, "The school wouldn’t be still hoping you would give up the recommendation, right?"
Xu Jiayan didn’t speak, which was as good as an affirmation.
The school had talked to him more than once. With his competition results, there was no problem with him being recommended to Qingbei University in B city, but the school still hoped that he would stay and take the college entrance examination. That way, they could give the recommendation slot to another student.
Primarily because with his academic performance, there was no doubt about his passing the college entrance examination, and he had a very good chance of winning the top scorer title for the school.
It had been a long time since Affiliated High School had produced a top scorer.
Xu Jiayan was the school’s prized symbol and the most likely candidate to bring home the top scorer title. Besides, even if he failed the entrance exam, he could still take part in the independent recruitment examination afterward.
With his academic performance, he would certainly bring honor to the school. If he took the recommendation, the school might have to wait several years for another chance at the top scorer title and would waste a recommendation slot.
The school hoped he would consider it carefully. Of course, the school wouldn’t let him give up the recommendation for nothing. There would be a series of award measures afterward.
The most direct would be a large sum of prize money.
However, it didn’t matter much to Xu Jiayan.
After all, the Xu Family wasn’t short of money.
"The school is so shameless, to actually consider making a student give up a recommendation for a top scorer title, this is the first time in so many years I’ve heard of such a thing," Xu Fang couldn’t help but complain after hearing it.
At last, he couldn’t help his gossiping nature and asked, "How much money did they offer you to give up the recommendation?" After all, it’s about someone’s future and fate; the school shouldn’t be stingy.
After saying that, he held up a finger and asked, "This much, have they?"
Xu Jiayan glanced at him, "What are you thinking?"
"Damn, the school is too tightfisted, huh? Not even this amount of money, and they want you to give up a recommendation? Not to mention that you have to win them a top scorer title, their calculation is really something, what are they thinking?" He felt the school was quite shameless.
"Right, what do you think? You’d better not do something foolish! Not having to take the college entrance exam is such a good thing, if it was me, I definitely wouldn’t agree."
"The top scorer, to be honest, is just a nice-sounding title, with so many people in the province, who knows if you will definitely get it in the end. I’m not saying you can’t get it, just that the risk is too big, better to choose the recommendation securely."
