Chapter 451: Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die (8)

Early the next morning, Jiang Ci stepped out of the house and saw the notebooks stacked by the door.

They were exactly the same as his previous notebooks.

He initially wanted to pick them up and throw them away, but his fingers accidentally flipped a page. The words on the notebook suddenly caught his eye, and he couldn’t help but keep flipping through it.

The notes were all his, but the handwriting was Jiang Lai’s. This handwriting was too familiar to him, and he continued to flip through until he saw a special physics symbol.

It was the same as the question he saw on the student’s desk last night, the handwriting was identical, the symbols were identical, even the sharp ending strokes of each word were exactly the same.

Combining this with what the parents said last night, even though Jiang Ci was very disappointed, he had to accept that the student he admired for so long last night was actually Jiang Lai.

This was followed by confusion.

He was well aware of Jiang Lai’s performance; she was at the bottom of the grade, terribly bad. How could she, an art student, be studying physics questions? And with her level, how was she qualified to teach middle school math?

Even if those two kids had a poor foundation, surely the parents would test Jiang Lai’s capabilities?

There were too many doubts, making Jiang Ci realize he had been neglectful of the Jiang Family.

He thought Jiang Lai and Mao Fang couldn’t stir up any trouble, but now it seemed the mother and daughter had done a lot behind the scenes.

Jiang Ci was always cautious. That same day, he went home when everyone was out and turned on the surveillance camera again.

When Little Buding knew about this, he immediately informed Jiang Lai.

"That Jiang Ci guy has bad intentions! He even installed a camera in your room!"

Does that bastard understand what privacy means? Does he know what the law is?

Jiang Lai kept a straight face, continued working on her problems, and calmly said after solving them.

"If he wants to watch, let him watch then."

"You are a girl!"

"Thanks for the reminder."

"That pervert, gather evidence to catch him!"

Jiang Lai, however, calmly took a sip of water.

"Don’t you want to finish the task? Besides, didn’t you already say that Jiang Ci, that second male lead, is a lunatic? What can’t a lunatic do?"

Little Buding looked at Jiang Lai speechless.

She was just like Jiang Ci, both crazy, not feeling anything wrong with having a camera in her room.

Jiang Lai indeed didn’t care about the camera at all, doing whatever she needed to do. Once entering the room, the first thing was to sit down and organize the homework she tutored the two brothers today, then categorize them with labels, followed by taking out a chemistry supplement from the stack of thick books on the desk and continued reading from where it was marked yesterday.

The girl’s waist and back were slightly bent. Under the soft light, her ponytail lightly draped over her shoulder, gently brushing against her slender, fair neck as she moved.

The entire night, from seven in the evening until three in the morning the next day, except for occasionally getting up to use the restroom and drink a few sips of water, Jiang Lai sat quietly, her pen quickly recording calculations.

Jiang Ci, after taking a shower, sat in front of the computer, watching Jiang Lai on the screen. Under his slanted long bangs, his black eyes were deep with thick confusion.

What on earth was Jiang Lai doing?

She, an art student, why spend so much time on physics and chemistry?

He initially thought he could monitor the movements of this mother and daughter duo through the camera, but unexpectedly, Jiang Lai steadfastly studied the whole night, as if never getting tired, almost greedily absorbing knowledge from the textbooks.

Could it really be because of Mao Fang’s illness?

When did Jiang Lai become so sensible and ambitious?

Jiang Ci couldn’t figure it out, but then thought as long as Jiang Lai didn’t cause any trouble, it was fine.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature in Z City reached the highest of the year. The morning temperature already exceeded thirty degrees Celsius.

This week was the school art festival week, and just as Jiang Lai sat down, the class’s culture commissioner came over with the registration form.

"Jiang Lai, our class is short on people, so everyone must participate in at least one event for this sports meet and cultural performance. You’re definitely participating in the cultural performance, right? I’ve already signed you up for piano. Do you want to sign up for the sports meet? There’s currently a vacancy for the girls’ long run..."

Jiang Lai was admitted as a student with an arts specialty, known throughout the class for playing the piano well, so it was sure she would participate in the cultural performance. As for the sports meet, mainly there was no girl in the class willing to participate in the girls’ long run, leaving the culture commissioner no choice but to come to Jiang Lai.

"Our class has a cash prize set for the athletes who win awards at the sports meet. Just winning a bronze prize gets a three-thousand-yuan award from our class fund, and there are few entries for the girls’ long run..."

"What’s the reward for winning a gold medal?"

Jiang Lai put down her pen, her eyes sparkling, clearly very interested.

The culture commissioner didn’t expect Jiang Lai would ask this.

"A gold medal rewards ten thousand, silver medal five thousand."

"What other events don’t have anyone signed up yet in our class?"

The culture commissioner looked through the event list.

"Girls’ fifteen hundred meters long run, mixed gender eight hundred meters relay race, and girls’ high jump are the three events with no registrations yet."

Jiang Lai twirled her pen, took the registration form, and directly filled her name in for all the empty events.

"Done."

"You signed up for so many?! Jiang Lai, are you serious? Can you handle this many?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Jiang Lai smiled with a cheerful face.

"Participating is what matters the most. Oh, by the way, is there any extra reward for getting a grand slam or anything like that?"

The culture commissioner thought for a moment.

"This hasn’t been discussed among our class committee yet, but if someone really achieves a grand slam and brings glory to our class, there will definitely be an extra cash prize."

Z City Noble Middle School highly values the comprehensive development of students. They attach great importance to the annual sports meet and cultural performance. Teachers from major sports and arts colleges will come to watch, and city leaders will also be invited to participate in friendly matches, so school leaders are very concerned, and naturally, the teachers and students pay extra attention.

The culture commissioner was just about to leave with the registration form when Shen Weizhou suddenly shouted from the back row.

"Come here, let me take a look."

"Weren’t you unwilling to participate? What’s the point of looking?"

"Is it not okay for me to change my mind? Wasn’t it said that no one has signed up for the men’s three-thousand-meter long run? Sign me up for that, also for the mixed-gender relay race, and anything else no one has signed up for!"

The culture commissioner looked at him with disdain.

"The mixed-gender relay race is already full, there’s still shot put available, and standing long jump too..."

Without another word, Shen Weizhou walked straight to the front row, wrapped an arm around a male student’s neck, and whispered.

"Are you up for the relay race? What if your small stature slows down our class? Shot put suits you, sign up for that instead."

The boy nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, I understand, Brother Zhou, I won’t participate in the mixed-gender relay race."
