Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 130 “I won't object to you being with him.

It was the end of the month in a blink.

The city's mathematics competition selection had begun.

The teacher escorted the students participating in the competition to the entrance of the examination hall, continuously offering words of encouragement.

Ji Yuqiao's ears had practically grown calluses from listening, so she hid to one side, playing with her phone.

Raining Qiao: “I'm about to go in for the exam.”

Willow Wadding: “Good luck with your test, my gift is still waiting for its owner to arrive.”

Raining Qiao: “Don't worry, after this period of preparation, my strength has reached the realm of being invincible!”

Willow Wadding: “CatCatThrowFlowers.jpg”

Ji Yuqiao grinned, wearing a smug and mischievous smile, her gleaming eyes sparkling brightly.

As she was thinking of chatting more with Lin Xu, the teacher caught her playing with her phone and scolded sharply, “Ji Yuqiao! There are only ten minutes before you need to go into the examination hall, and you still have the mood to play with your phone on the side!”

“Hand over your phone, I'm confiscating it. Come and ask me for it after you finish your exam.”

The teacher reached out to grab her phone, but Ji Yuqiao bolted.

For a moment, outside the examination hall, it was a scene of one chasing and the other fleeing, just like an eagle chasing a chick.

Seeing this, the other students burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere before the exam dissipated with their laughter.

Xiao Yu looked up and glanced at Ji Yuqiao, who was dodging, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

After entering the examination hall.

Ji Yuqiao found her seat and sat down, twirling a pen in one hand and propping her cheek with the other, waiting for the invigilator to distribute the examination papers.

In a corner of the same examination hall, someone looked at Ji Yuqiao's figure and a fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.

Two hours later, the exam was over.

Ji Yuqiao rushed out of the examination hall and searched her bag, which was kept by the teacher, for her phone.

She immediately sent a message to Lin Xu: “The exam is over!”

“Ji Yuqiao?”

Suddenly, a somewhat uncertain voice came from behind.

Ji Yuqiao turned around to see a young man standing behind her, tall and straight, dressed in a simple white hoodie.

His fringed bangs partially covered his eyebrows, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes that carried a gentle smile.

Ji Yuqiao thought for a long time but couldn't match him with anyone from her memory. “Who are you?”

“Zhao Jiayan.” The young man said his name.

Zhao Jiayan?

Zhao?

Ji Yuqiao suddenly realized.

This was none other than the Zhao's young master that Ji Tingyang had intended to introduce to her!

“So it's you! What are you doing here?” Ji Yuqiao, wide-eyed, hadn't expected them to meet again.

“Just like you, came here for the exam.” Zhao Jiayan smiled lightly and gestured with the stationery and admission ticket in his hand.

Ji Yuqiao forced a laugh, feeling embarrassed, “Oh, I see.”

Who else could be here at this time if not for taking the exam?

“Long time no see, we last met a year or two ago, right? How have you been recently?” Zhao Jiayan said.

Back then, he had followed his family to a banquet and had just stepped out onto the balcony for some air when he stumbled upon Ji Tingyang and Ji Yuqiao arguing.

Ji Tingyang's cold eyes that day seemed almost murderous, “What's so good about Xiao Yu, that poor boy? Any family here at this banquet has a better background than he does.”

“What's your name?” Ji Tingyang had asked Zhao Jiayan, who had suddenly appeared.

“Zhao… Zhao Jiayan…”

“Good.” Ji Tingyang nodded and then turned to look at Ji Yuqiao, “Even Zhao Jiayan is a thousand times, a hundred times better than Xiao Yu. I will have absolutely no objections if you are with him.”

Huh?

Who's together with whom?

Zhao Jiayan's mind was a bit muddled.

Ji Yuqiao looked at Ji Tingyang with a subtly expressive gaze and cursed, “Are you sick?”

Zhao Jiayan had never expected that he was just looking for a place to catch his breath, and the next second, he was forcefully introduced to a girl.

The day after the party.

Ji Tingyang took it upon himself to arrange for Zhao Jiayan and Ji Yuqiao to meet at Century Lake.

It would have been simple to refuse, but for some reason, Zhao Jiayan agreed as if driven by a ghost.

That was also the first time in his life he had been stood up.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Jiayan's lips.

“Are you heading back to school now? My car is outside. Do you need a ride?” he asked.

“No need, our teacher will take us back,” Ji Yuqiao also remembered her own trifling issues and felt embarrassed to trouble him.

“Well…” Zhao Jiayan's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something more, but he was interrupted by a sudden voice from the side.

“Student Ji, the teacher is calling us to gather,” Xiao Yu walked over, casting a discreet glance at Zhao Jiayan.

“Okay, I'm coming now,” Ji Yuqiao nodded and turned to run off.

At the front of the bus, the teacher was still tediously going over safety instructions.

Ji Yuqiao hung her head, listlessly kicking the pebbles at her feet.

“If you encounter any troublemakers, you can tell me,” Xiao Yu, having quietly approached her, said in a low voice.

Ji Yuqiao looked up to see Xiao Yu's face expressionless, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on the teacher as if the words he had just spoken weren't meant for her.

“You, are you talking to me?” Ji Yuqiao was puzzled.

Xiao Yu tersely responded.

After Ji Yuqiao changed dramatically, walking around the school always resulted in many classmates coming up to chat.

Even while reading in the library, classmates with ulterior motives would come to share her table.

Sometimes, when she encountered a few persistent pursuers, Xiao Yu would come over with the excuse that a “teacher was looking for her” to call Ji Yuqiao away.

Each time, she would thank him gleefully.

“It's just a small effort,” Xiao Yu would say.

So, after leaving the examination hall and seeing Ji Yuqiao being bothered by boys from another school, he instinctively went over to help.

Hearing his concern, Ji Yuqiao felt thrilled.

She knew long ago that Xiao Yu wouldn't have bothered with her business.

She struggled to suppress her smiling lips, maintaining a calm facade, “Thanks, but that person wasn't trying to hit on me. We know each other; he was just coming over to say hi.”

Seeing her slightly lifted lips, Xiao Yu paused for a moment.

So, they were friends.

Is that why she was smiling so happily?

Xiao Yu suddenly froze for a moment; whether she was happy or not was none of his concern.

He concealed the emotions on his face and, after hearing the teacher announce they could board the bus, got on without looking back.

Ji Yuqiao watched his retreating figure, scratching her head in confusion.

They were just talking fine a second ago; why did his expression suddenly turn so awful?

Did she say something wrong?

Ji Yuqiao thought long and hard on the bus, unable to figure it out, but still habitually reported her emotional progress to her strategist.

Raining Qiao: [I feel like I've gotten a step closer to him!]
