As he walked into the classroom, Jiaming was still thinking about Kelly Fornim. However, it was impossible to tell from his expression.
There were two mid-term exams in the afternoon. More than half of the students were already in the classroom. Some of them were cramming at the last minute, while most of them were chatting in twos and threes, planning their first May Day holiday. As for Xun, she was the only freak who sat at the desk and studied college physics on the eve of the exam. She was one of a kind.
Due to the exams, the desks that were originally arranged in pairs were now separated into a single row. However, Kaoru's seat was still next to Jiaming's. At this moment, she was wearing an elegant white shirt and pants. Her long hair covered the side of her face, and there was a white cherry blossom ornament on top of her head. The way she read quietly attracted the attention of the students, regardless of whether they were male or female.
It was this quiet and beautiful temperament that had attracted countless love letters over the past two years. It had also broken the glass hearts of many innocent young men.
Although it was only 1999, and it was not yet the era of gender liberalization and fujoshis, Kaoru had received a few love letters from girls. One could not help but admire the charm of this beautiful Japanese girl. When she first came to China, she was only beautiful. However, she had an absolute coldness and sharp thorns that prevented people from getting close to her. After two years, those sharp thorns had become much more restrained. The feeling she gave people had changed from coldness to calmness. It was to the extent that both men and women were attracted to her.
"Lingjing said that it's not good to pass things around during the exam. She was afraid that you would forget to bring something, so she prepared a set of stationery for you."
Jiaming tossed a small plastic bag that served as a stationery box onto Kaoru's desk. He walked to the desk on the other side and sat down.
"Thank you."
Xun nodded. Just now, she said softly, "Lord of Heavenly Rain said yesterday that he has confirmed that Pei Luojia will make a move in the next few days. I'm afraid that their people have already infiltrated Jianghai. It's just that they haven't discovered it yet."
"Yeah, I know. Kelly Fornim's arrival in China is equivalent to the Yanhuang Awakening. Their cooperation with the Dark Heavenly Zither has reached a new level. Of course, they're going to make a move. However, this operation is relatively mysterious, and I haven't grasped the main point yet. But thinking about it, it's likely that they're here to kill people again …"
"Gu Jun reeks of blood."
"Last night I killed an assassin who came to Jianghai, but it was just a small fry …" Jiaming casually replied. The next moment, he was stunned and turned to look at the Japanese girl next to him. "You can sense that I have killed people?
The smell of blood? "
It was hard to say for sure. At that moment, the girl's beautiful face flashed with an imperceptible smile. She looked at Jiaming. "Because I guessed that Gu Jun would go out to kill people, I deliberately said that. It was a joke."
"… You're not being obedient either." After a moment, Jiaming rolled his eyes.
"Gu Jun wants to pat me on the head?
I can see that. "
"I'll pat you very hard tonight."
The cold joke ended there. After Lord of Heavenly Rain came over, Xun's mood seemed to have become much more lively these two days. He didn't know what he said to Xun, but in general, it was imaginable.
Lord of Heavenly Rain didn't have much affection for Xun. What he wanted Xun to do was to seduce him and quietly drag him into the war with Pei Luojia.
This kind of thing couldn't be considered taboo. Jiaming wanted to use others, so of course he had to be prepared to be used by others. What he cared about was not this kind of calculation, but every time he felt Xun's gradual change, he would always think of his previous world. After committing suicide in the old house of the Moon Chi family, her beautiful body was like a beautiful butterfly.
In the past, the young girl had been hurt and raped. She had guarded her painful heart and lived alone in this lonely world for eight years. In the end, she had chosen to end her life, leaving behind a cold and beautiful corpse. In the other world, the same young girl had broken away from her previous path and gradually grew up. The word 'lively' had probably never existed in her original life.
It wasn't that he was sentimental. Similar comparisons were beneficial for him to objectively grasp the thoughts of people like Yu Shoucang, Fang Zhitian, and Natalie Anise. But no matter what, this kind of thing always made people feel strange and caused them to sigh.
…
…
At around 3: 30, the bell signaling the end of the first exam rang. Next, there was about a 20-minute break.
Bored to death, Chen Zhao sat in his seat and looked at the scenery of the field. The electronic watch on his left hand suddenly moved a few times. He plugged in his earphones and heard the news. He couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. About a few minutes later, Dongfang Wan ran over with her phone. She patted his desk and said, "Come quickly!
Come quickly! "She was so mysterious that it could kill him.
"What is it?"
Normally, his relationship with Dongfang Wan always seemed to be a layer of estrangement, but in reality, they could be considered a rather unique friend. Seeing her nervous expression, Jiaming followed her out. Running down the school building, Dongfang Wan said, "I'll take you to see someone."
"Huh?"
"The person you boasted about in front of Ying Zifeng last time. She's the decision-maker from the Xi De Group.
Let me tell you, among the people from the Xi De Group, Givitt is the person in charge on the surface, but in reality, the one with the decision-making power is not Givitt, but a girl. This is confidential. Don't tell anyone else. It wasn't easy for me to get this information from my brother and father. "
"Confidential …" Jiaming helplessly repeated as they walked past the flower bed. Actually, saying that Givitt wasn't the decision-maker was a bit unfair. Kelly Fornim had the highest position in the investment delegation, but that didn't mean that she would do everything herself.
To be precise, she represented the queen of the Dim Heavenly Harp, Natalie Anis. She represented half of the Rothschild family's patriarchal status. The Xi De Group's investment this time was important and important to the merchants of Jianghai, but to someone like Natalie Anis, it was probably just a small matter that could be ignored.
"Last time, Hu Gai said that it was a woman. I didn't think that he would be right. That person is called Kelly Fornim. I heard that she just happened to be here for a visit. Let's find her and take a look. You'll also know what kind of person she is."
Jiaming sighed. "So what if we take a look? Do you want to do a toy business with her?"
"My toy factory isn't big, so I don't have the qualifications to cooperate with them.
But last time, you boasted so much in front of Ying Zifeng and Lei Qing. You have to see who the real deal is, right?
Besides … if such a large corporation wants to do business in Jianghai, although they'll most likely find a large corporation with a good reputation, there's no guarantee that it'll be like that. Your Huang family … Well, although it's a bit difficult for the time being, you're still familiar with Jianghai. Maybe there'll be some opportunities for cooperation. And I heard that recently, Fang Zhitian actually came looking for you, uh … "
Dongfang Wan was a warm-hearted person. Especially when something had something to do with her, she would often have an extraordinary sense of responsibility. After a while, she turned around and asked, "That … Why exactly did Fang Zhitian look for you?
He's been spreading rumors everywhere that you bullied Ruoruo. But last time, you only met Ruoruo a few times. I was even following you. "
"Cough … Actually, Dongfang Ruo fell in love with me at first sight. After returning home, she fell sick …"
"Go to hell."
She laughed with infinite disdain, then shook her head. "Forget it. Anyway, I know that your ability to cause trouble and be funny is first-class."
She had a deep and clear understanding of Jiaming. She knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get any answers. Besides, this guy was related to Sister Su Yan. Sister Su Yan had saved Uncle Fang before. It was possible that there was something strange between them.
Although Dongfang Wan called Jiaming out, she only knew that Kelly had come to visit the school. She didn't know where exactly she was. After walking around the school for half a day and asking a few people, Just now, she found a group of people visiting the side of the laboratory building.
From afar, other than the school leaders including Ya Han, the leader of the group was a foreign woman who was about 1.65 meters tall. She wore a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses. Her black hair was cut very short and fluttered slightly in the wind. She wore a light yellow long-sleeved top and a gray striped sleeveless vest. She wore fitted black silk pants that covered most of her short black leather boots. She looked like an obedient and shy female university student, but also had a sense of independence. She had a slight smile on her lips and nodded politely as the school leaders pointed at her.
Behind her, there were eight bodyguards in black suits at the same time.
"Look, that's Kelly Fornim. I heard that she's a relative of the chairman of Xi De Group."
"Bringing eight bodyguards with her at the same time. I think she must be very insecure." Jiaming frowned.
"It's necessary … Oh, by the way, I heard from my dad when I was looking at the photos yesterday. Look at the second last, the biggest bodyguard. I heard that he used to be a heavyweight boxing champion from Europe.
By the way, didn't you say that you're very close with Miss Kelly?
You even said that she's gay. Go up and say it again. "Dongfang Wan smiled and gestured to Jiaming." I guarantee that he'll beat you up with one punch. "
"How do you know that she's not gay?
And there's no reason that she can't like Zheng Tai. "Jiaming shrugged.
The two of them looked at each other for a while. The bell for the exam had already rung. In the crowd, Ya Han was the first to see the two of them. Seeing that Jiaming was also there, she just smiled and waved her hand to signal the two of them to hurry up and take the exam.
On the way back to the classroom, the second exam had already begun. The whole school fell into an abnormal silence. About thirty minutes into the exam, a series of footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the classroom. Not long after, Kelly Fornim's figure appeared at the front of the classroom door.
Most of the school leaders were no longer by her side, probably because of her request. Only Ya Han was left to accompany this important foreign guest. She introduced her in a soft voice, and eight tall bodyguards followed behind her.
"This is Grade Two, Class Six …"
In the previous classrooms, Kelly just glanced at them and walked past them. This time, she stopped at the door. Ya Han frowned slightly and introduced her in a soft voice. For a moment, the students in the classroom who were doing their test papers were also affected. They couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the Caucasian beauty. Kelly didn't feel embarrassed about being looked at. With a strange smile, she scanned the entire classroom.
After a moment, she whispered to Ya Han in English, "Can I take a look?"
"Uh …" The meaning of this question was unclear. For a moment, Ya Han didn't know how to answer. Kelly just took it as a yes and walked into the classroom. She picked up the teacher's chair on the podium and said, "Lend it to me. Thank you."
The invigilator didn't know what was going on. He exchanged glances with Ya Han. Ya Han waved her hand and told him to pretend that everything was normal.
She carried the chair out of the front door and walked all the way to the back door. Under the puzzled gazes of the students, she directly went to the innermost side of the classroom and placed the chair next to Jiaming's chair.
Dongfang Wan, who was at the front of the classroom, was stunned. Her mouth opened into an "O" shape. She wondered if the two of them really knew each other.
Could that woman really be gay?
Ya Han, who was behind Kelly, also had a slight change in expression. She knew that Jiaming knew Kelly Fornim, but he never said that Kelly Fornim knew him as well. The eight bodyguards stood at the back door of the classroom. Ya Han didn't know what to do. She waved her hand and said to the students in front of her, "Focus on the exam!"
The beautiful white girl sat down next to Jiaming and looked at his test paper with interest. She watched the process of him solving the questions.
Jiaming tilted his head and looked at the woman next to him. He had a puzzled look on his face, but his hands continued to work on the test paper. Kelly Fornim didn't say anything. She just smiled and watched him solve the questions. It was as if she was a private tutor Jiaming had hired. She was quiet and quiet.
It was already past four o 'clock. The sun was setting in the west, and the golden sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them. It was as if this quiet scene was going to be painted into a picture.
Ya Han stood at the back. As time passed, she felt a little depressed. As an insider, she felt that the atmosphere in front of her was a little strange. Naturally, she was more worried about Jiaming.
It was a quarter past four o 'clock. Jiaming finally put down his pen. It wasn't that he was impatient, but there had to be an end to this matter. Since the other party was determined to find him, stalling for time was meaningless.
Moreover, as a normal child, being stared at for ten minutes while he worked on a test paper was enough to make him lose his patience.
At this time, he turned his head and asked softly, "Hello, how can I help you?"
"Your mother..."
On the side, Kelly Fornim smiled and spoke in English. However, after the two words came out, she paused with some confusion, as if she was thinking about what to say. Just now, she spoke in unfamiliar Chinese.
"... What's your surname?"
Jiaming frowned as he heard her soft voice.
