<h4>Chapter 850: A Foreign Student. Meeting Lawson Again</h4>


    Yun Jian was slightly surprised when she saw Ning Lan.


    When they had the barbecue by the Nilong River and she came to borrow some salt, it was nothing more than a fateful encounter in their trip. More often than not, people did not meet again after that.


    One met a lot of people in their life but eight or nine out of ten people were just passersby. There was usually no possibility of meeting most passersby again.


    Therefore, Yun Jian was a little bewildered when she saw Ning Lan again. Despite that, she calmed down right after.


    “What a coincidence.” Having a rather good impression of Ning Lan, Yun Jian greeted her with a smile.


    “Are you here for thepetition alone too?” Ning Lan walked over and asked in delight when she saw that Yun Jian did not have friends around her.


    “Mn.” Yun Jian nodded.


    Apparently, Ning Lan was alone in participating in the foreignnguagespetition. Girls usually liked going around withpany, so did Ning Lan. When she heard that Yun Jian was here alone as well, she was struck with delight because she could tag along with Yun Jian as thetter had nopanion too.


    “Right, I didn’t ask for your name thest time,” Ning Lan asked directly when she remembered it since she was straightforward in her personality.


    “It’s Yun Jian,” Yun Jian answered.


    “Yun Jian.” Ning Lan repeated and looked at Yun Jian enviously to tell her, “Yun Jian, you have such a nice name! Can I call you Jianjian?”


    Yun Jian raised a brow hearing Ning Lan call her Jianjian. She thought about Chen Xinyi immediately. The girl calls her Jianjian as well.


    “Sure,” Yun Jian replied softly.


    “Mn!” Ning Lan nodded in thrill.


    After getting to know Ning Lan, the girl stood next to Yun Jian. It was when thepetition was about to begin that she left Yun Jian reluctantly.


    “Jianjian, I’ll go report in myself first. I’ll see you again after the contest!” After a short exchange with Yun Jian, Ning Lan realized that she clicked with her, so she made sure to remind Yun Jian that she would see her again even when she was rushing off for the assembly.


    Yun Jian thought that Ning Lan was quite interesting. In addition to her good impression of Ning Lan in the beginning, Yun Jian nodded at her with a smile after hearing what she said.


    After Ning Lan left, Yun Jian and others grouped up as well for briefing.


    “I heard that a foreign student will be here to judgeter. Do your best. We don’t aim for first. It’s enough if our school could win second ce,” the female teacher announced standing in front of the students.


    It was an encouragement before thepetition. The reason the teacher had said that they were not aiming for the first but second ce was enough was because Foreign Languages High School was participating.


    The strength of Foreign Languages High School was foreignnguages. Their teachers were hired from overseas too, so their English was taught by natives. That was why the teacher said what she did. After all, Foreign Languages High School had alwayse in first ce throughout the years ofpetition.


    “Look, is that the foreign student? The one who’s going to judge uster!” One of the students caught a glimpse of a tall and fit guy who was walking toward them from a distance away.


    What stood him out from the rest was that the guy was fair. He also looked different from the crowd and that was a giveaway that he was a foreigner.


    When Yun Jian looked over there, she could not help squinting when she saw the guy’s face. The guy was none other than the one who openly challenged Yun Jian when she went for the week-long study trip in Yana High School back then. It was Lawson who had ultimately turned friends with Yun Jian and vowed that he would defeat her the next time.
