Chapter 304: Chapter 304: The Gift Really Was the Right Choice

Girls with remarkable qualities deserve such a man.

Jiang Zhe put down his teacup, and Madam He did not beat around the bush, taking out the gift.

Looking at the box, Jiang Zhe said, "Is it a weasel-hair brush produced in Sucheng?"

Seeing that she knew the contents of the box just by looking at it, Madam He’s happiness grew. The gift really was the right choice.

"Yes, He Ling’s father liked them before, so he acquired a few. If Xiaozhe likes them, then I’m truly delighted."

Jiang Zhe did indeed like it very much; he accepted and openly appreciated the gift.

If the other party sent gold, silver, jade, or other luxury items, he would generally be disinclined to accept them, but he found it hard to resist something like this.

Seeing that he accepted the gift, Madam He was pleased. She began to speak more, with a touch of intimacy, "Xiaozhe, we truly have you to thank this time. I always felt there was something about He Ling, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. In any case, we understand too little about the younger generation’s interests and preferences. His elder brother has always been the man of tradition, not deviating from the public’s expectations in terms of interests, hobbies, studies, or work, thus a slight deviation from He Ling would alarm us, leading us to lose our normal approach to education, eager to correct every tiny mistake on the spot. If it weren’t for you this time..."

She was well aware that if Jiang Zhe hadn’t defeated He Ling, He Ling probably wouldn’t have agreed to see La Xiu.

By the time real trouble emerged, it would have been too late.

Recalling how her younger son was always getting hurt, which left her feeling painfully helpless each time, she was very fortunate now that the root cause had been found.

"If you want to give thanks, give it to Doctor La."

"Yes, we should also thank Doctor La," Madam He said with a smile.

...

On the opening day of the summer camp, the school-arranged bus came to the school gates to pick up the students.

Xia Enci carried her belongings, looking quite reluctant, "I’m going to be away for so many days."

"You’ll be back soon. Don’t worry," Xiao Meng comforted her, "we can still talk and video-call every day anyway."

"Yeah." Xia Enci was quite adaptable to different environments; it was just that she would miss Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhe.

Zhang Xi glanced their way with displeasure. If Xia Enci didn’t want to go so badly, why not just not go? The spot she vacated could be given to someone else!

Such affected behavior!

"Attention, students," Director Han came over, "I’d like to introduce a new student to everyone."

Everyone looked towards Director Han.

"This student’s name is He Ling, and he will be attending the summer camp with all of you. Let’s help each other out and get along well," he said.

"Hello everyone. I’m He Ling. Please guide me well."

He Ling was handsome with a slender build. His smile was very sunny, causing many of the girls to blush.

Zhang Xi couldn’t help but redden a bit too, waving hello to He Ling.

However, He Ling didn’t glance at her. Instead, he turned to greet Xia Enci and Jiang Zhe.

"Sis..." He began, then swiftly realized his mistake and switched his address, "Jiang Zhe!"

"How come you’re here?" asked Jiang Zhe.

"Wasn’t I supposed to stay to see Doctor La because you won our bet? I’m true to my word. So my dad switched my summer camp activities to First Middle School. See, I am someone who keeps promises, right?" he said.

Jiang Zhe thought of his parents and could tell they had truly realized the issue with their son’s education.

This was good; he indeed needed to stay and see La Xiu a few more times.

Xia Enci pointed at him, "Is he going to the summer camp with me?"

"What, you don’t let me go? I apologized to you that day," he retorted.

"Fine, you know your place. Follow your sister here; I’ll look after you," she responded.

He Ling pouted, "It’s not yet settled who’s the elder or younger."

Zhang Xi, standing aside, awkwardly lowered her hand, never expecting that He Ling would ignore her while getting along warmly with Jiang Zhe’s group.

A sense of imbalance slowly rose within her.

"Zhang Xi, do you know that new guy who just came?" a classmate asked from beside her.

"I don’t know him," Zhang Xi replied, her face turning cold.

"But he’s really quite handsome, even better looking than the school’s most handsome guy."

"Yeah, he’s super sunny, I can really see it!"

"Forget it, didn’t you see he’s only hanging out with Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci? Don’t you know what he’s here for?"

"Hey, speaking of which, out of the 100 of us, only 50 can get the final reduced-score admission spots. With him here, doesn’t that mean there’s one more person in the competition?"

"Let the best one win," Zhang Xi said coldly.

If this He Ling was easy to get along with, she wouldn’t mind having an extra person around.

But since he didn’t know his place, that only made him a competitor.

...

Once Xia Enci arrived at the location, she immediately video-called Jiang Zhe.

"We’re in a mountainous area, a bit high in altitude, but it’s not a big problem. We’ve really pitched tents, look."

In her camera’s view, the tents were all set up, and everyone was busy packing.

"I heard that we’re starting off with an English test tomorrow. English is my weak point, I need to start reviewing early."

"Remember to go through the questions I gave you," Jiang Zhe said.

"Okay, got it."

After organizing everything, Xia Enci started working on her English practice questions.

He Ling came over with some fruit, "Want some fruit?"

"I’m working on questions." Xia Enci was studying, but she couldn’t help reaching into the box he handed her and grabbed an apple.

"What kind of questions are these?"

"Do you want to work on them?"

Since He Ling was there and couldn’t go off to do any extreme sports, he sat down, pulled out a set of questions, and started working on them.

Xia Enci was weak in English and had only recently improved. As she studied, she said, "I’m also not good at listening; I need to do some more listening practice later."

"I’m good at listening. I’ve come up with a method..." He Ling started explaining.

He Ling, who used to engage in extreme sports, often traveled abroad, surrounded by foreigners.

When it came to listening skills, no one was more professional than him.

Besides, his repeating grades were due to injuries and missing exams, not because of genuinely poor performance.

So, the two of them exchanged tips all afternoon.

Zhang Xi saw He Ling enter Xia Enci’s tent and stay there for quite a while.

She stood outside and listened carefully; the two of them were studying English.

She had inquired before, He Ling’s grades were average, and he had repeated grades twice. She heard that his classmates were already sophomores.

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but laugh. Could it be that he was seeking Xia Enci’s help with tutoring?

The blind leading the blind tutoring, what good could come of it?

With that thought, she turned and left.

English was Zhang Xi’s strength, and she always scored high marks.

If she could have a good start, it would stabilize her morale.

But she still made a phone call to Jiang Fanyue.

"There’s not much I can do to help you with English, just stay confident. You’ve never been afraid of anyone in English class at school, have you?"
