The momentary anxiety on Hu Jian’s face made Qin Heng a little surprised.

He first answered Hu Jian’s question, then hesitantly asked her the reason, “The rumors are quite serious. They say that they’ve been arranged to be in a private sanatorium. But… you’re asking this because you’re a fan of Scarlet Flame…?”

Hu Jian paused for a moment and quickly nodded. “Yes, I’m a die-hard fan of Scarlet Flame.”

Although she said that, she was not just a die-hard fan. In the 20 years of her previous life, she had nothing else besides Dragon Gate and Red Flame.

Qin Heng was silent for a moment. He subconsciously touched the beautifully bandaged wound on his body and then looked at Hu Jian.

Hu Jian looked at him fearlessly.

Her eyes were pure.

Qin Heng was momentarily moved by the pair of eyes, so he did not continue to ask. He silently ate the lunchbox that Hu Jian brought over.

When he was almost done eating, the bell for 10 o’clock rang.

Hu Jian wanted to tell Qin Heng more about Scarlet Flame, but Qin Heng insisted on leaving.

Before he left, Qin Heng gave Hu Jian a handwritten address. He told her that if she ran into any trouble because of saving him, she could look for him at this place. Hu Jian took the note and nodded heavily.

She knew that he was expressing his gratitude and solving the problems that could potentially follow.

But for her, regardless of whether there was trouble or not, she would definitely look for Qin Heng to get close to Scarlet Flame.

After Qin Heng left, Hu Jian turned on the computer and casually searched. There was not even a similar link, let alone a keyword entry.

She frowned and looked at the string of mysterious numbers on the paper. It felt familiar, but at that moment, she could not figure it out.

After thinking for a long time, she still could not think of an answer. Hu Jian put away the note and restored the cottage to its original appearance.

After doing all this, she carefully erased any traces of their presence before returning to school.

At that time, the school had already started afternoon physical education classes.

When Li Yang saw her, he asked her where she had gone in the morning. Hu Jian glanced at him and asked calmly, “Why are you so busybody?”

Li Yang smiled, and his eyes shone brightly under the sunlight.

He flung his sweaty hair and said, “Actually I’m not. It’s just that when you skipped class, someone came to look for you.”

Hu Jian said, “Oh.”

Li Yang raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you going to ask who it was?”

Hu Jian said, “Is there a need for that? If they can’t find me, they’ll come back eventually, right?”

Li Yang clicked his tongue and praised, “Who exactly said that you only have men in your mind?”

Hu Jian ignored his nonsense and ran two laps of 800 meters with the students from class Seven. After completing the fitness task, she returned to the classroom.

When she left, Li Yang was still running, jumping, and playing basketball on the field.

His basketball skills were very good, but it was a pity that the person he wanted to impress was not present.

…

Before the second class in the afternoon, Chen Yu came to look for her again.

Hu Jian was somewhat surprised when she had to follow Chen Yu to the office.

She originally thought that Yang Si or Wang Xin was looking for trouble again. She did not expect that the new teacher-in-charge to be looking for her.

She was led to Chen Yu’s desk. Chen Yu let her sit in her seat with a solemn expression.

Hu Jian looked at her in confusion.

“Although you have been demoted from Class A to Class F, I have always believed that you are a good student. You don’t listen much in class, but your train of thought for solving problems is very clear. I can tell that you are a smart child. If you work hard in this Math Olympiad Competition, it’s possible for you to get a ranking. I’ve asked. If you get a good ranking, you can go back to Class A…”

Chen Yu paused, tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her head and sniffled, “Our school doesn’t think well of Class F. from an objective point of view, if you return to Class A, you’ll definitely be able to improve further. Of course, I just don’t want your talents to go to waste here… Some people stay because they want to stay. If you are willing, Class F will always welcome you.”

So it was because of this matter. Hu Jian sighed slightly in her heart.

Being such an emotional person, she was bound to worry about the students in Class Seven.

However, Chen Yu’s way of thinking for the students really touched Hu Jian. Moreover, it was impossible for her to return to Class A, hence she decisively raised her head to look at Chen Yu. She said resolutely, “Teacher, I like Class F..”
