The atmosphere became a little strange the moment he mentioned Qiao Nian's name.
Qiao Chen despised the tea here and was unwilling to drink it.
But now that she had raised her cup again, she had to take a sip. She brushed her hair aside and tucked it behind her ear, looking calm and composed. It was as if that name meant nothing to her.
Xu Xu's reaction was the quickest. She snapped out of it quickly and frowned at the person who brought it up. "Wang Heng, why did you have to mention her? Such a downer. Everyone's happily celebrating Chen Chen's admission today, but you have to bring up this name that upsets her. Look, now everyone's unhappy."
Wang Heng was also a student of Class B. He was a cheeky, playful student whose results were average. He had wooed Qiao Chen earlier on and had always bootlicked her. Even now, he still liked her.
He leaned back in his seat nonchalantly and propped an arm up. "I'm not trying to do anything. It just came to mind."
He scanned the table and eventually landed his gaze on a girl with thick glasses. He asked mockingly, "Wu Jie, aren't you from Class A? Tell us about it, how did Qiao Nian do? She especially took leave just to go to Qing University for the examinations, did she make it?"
It was a Class B gathering today, but Qiao Chen invited Wu Jie over.
She said it was just for a meal.
Wu Jie came without knowing that the other Class B students would be around. She thought that Qiao Chen had asked her out individually. By the time she realized and wanted to leave, Qiao Chen had already seen her and called out to her.
Now that everyone was looking at her and waiting for her response, she furrowed her brows and pushed her glasses upwards slightly. She answered hurriedly, "Uh... I heard she didn't make it."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzzing. One had to pay attention to hear her.
