Chapter 437: Meeting Liu s.h.i.+

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Ye looked at Liu s.h.i.+ somewhat strangely; she noticed a significant change in him.

In the past, Liu s.h.i.+ never did any proper work; he would roam the village with a group of friends, wasting his time. But now, he was helping his family with ch.o.r.es every day and even actively hunting in the mountains.

Many people in the village had noticed Liu s.h.i.+s transformation. Xia Ye shook her head and said, Its nothing, Im just taking a casual walk.

Liu s.h.i.+ asked, Your eyes are red, obviously, youve been crying. What happened? Why dont you tell me?

Looking into Liu s.h.i.+s eyes, Xia Ye saw that he had lost the delinquent demeanor he used to have. His eyes were now filled with sincerity. For some reason, she found herself confiding in Liu s.h.i.+ about her grievances.

She felt that she wasnt any worse than Xia Wan or Xia Ru, but these two had surpa.s.sed her.

Liu s.h.i.+ said, I thought it was something serious, turns out youre just a bit sensitive.

Youre already better off than most of the girls in our village. Just think about it, how many girls in our village can afford to go to high school?

Some people have better academic records than you, they got into high school, but their parents dont allow them to continue their education.

Some girls had excellent grades in primary school, but they didnt even have the chance to go to junior high.

Compared to them, youre already very lucky.

And about Xia Wan being outstanding, I agree with that. You can use Xia Wan as your goal, strive to surpa.s.s her. But Xia Rus character is terrible. She used to encourage me to harm Xia Wan, to tarnish her innocence.

Xia Ye widened her eyes, not expecting to hear this.

Liu s.h.i.+ continued, Back then, Xia Ru and I were both born with some strange illness. Before the illness struck, she secretly came to me, wanting me to plot against Xia Wan.

Now that I think about it, I probably got that strange illness as karma for harboring ill intentions toward Xia Wan. After saying this, Liu s.h.i.+ got up and walked away, leaving Xia Ye in deep thought.

Her once-confused heart was gradually becoming resolute.

She and Xia Wan didnt necessarily have to be in a life-and-death compet.i.tion. Xia Wans success didnt mean she had to be unsuccessful; Xia Wan could progress, and she could, too.

Perhaps her father didnt earn as much as Xia Hai, but he was working hard to support the family. Her mother might take advantage of situations sometimes, but she didnt have any malicious intentions.

The only troublemaker in the family was her lazy and useless younger brother.

However, Xia Yus transformation into what he was now was also due to their grandmothers excessive pampering. She couldnt stop her grandmothers favoritism, but she could work on herself and strive to break out of this small mountain village.

She wanted to develop herself in a bigger city and see more of the world.

At this moment, Xia Ye knew that she had changed.

The next day, when she went to school, Xia Ye noticed a stylishly dressed girl standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Xia Ye, the girl stopped her and smiled, h.e.l.lo, are you Xia Ye, my cousin?

Xia Ye felt a bit puzzled. She didnt recognize this girl.

People from their cla.s.s were also looking in their direction, secretly listening.

Im Ke Xin, I work at your cousin Xia Rus store. Theres something Id like to ask you. Ke Xin smiled as she spoke.

Xia Ye frowned, not having a good impression of Xia Rus employees.

What is it? Xia Ye asked, somewhat displeased.

Ke Xin continued to smile, I want to go to school, and I heard that you are our bosss cousin. You have good looks and good grades, so I thought about being in the same cla.s.s as you.

The boss said that I should get to know you early on and learn from you.

Hearing the compliments, Xia Yes mood improved.

Indeed, she had always been good-looking.

Out of courtesy for the girls eloquence, she decided to be a bit more polite.

Xia Ye sized up Ke Xin, who seemed to carry a certain sophistication about her.

Xia Ye asked her, How old are you?

Ke Xin felt a bit embarra.s.sed and replied, Im already 20 years old.

Xia Ye was shocked. 20 years old? Youre two years older than me. Are you going to study in the same cla.s.s as me for senior year? Can you keep up with the curriculum?

Ke Xin: .

She thought Xia Ye had very low emotional intelligence, just like her sister Xia
