Chapter 245: Inviting Classmates

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the final exams approaching, the entire school was immersed in a tense learning atmosphere.

This was especially so for Huo Tian’s class. Many students had relied on their outstanding academic results to become specially enrolled students in this elite school.

Therefore, they especially cherished their learning opportunities. Some students even studied to the extent that they forgot to eat or sleep. Huo Tian often found it unbelievable how hardworking they were.

After the exam ended, the results were quickly released. Without any surprise, Huo Tian came in first in the entire cohort.

Towards a genius like Huo Tian who far exceeded ordinary people, the other students couldn’t even feel jealous. They simply wanted to worship Huo Tian like a god.

After interacting with her for a semester, all the students in her class knew that although Huo Tian looked very cold and didn’t like to interact too much with her classmates, if someone took the initiative to talk to her or ask her questions, she wouldn’t deliberately ignore them.

Therefore, after the results were out, many people gathered around Huo Tian’s table and fought to be the first to flip through her paper which was said to be the perfect set of answers.

Probably because she had been in a good mood recently, Huo Tian didn’t feel frustrated even though a group of people was chattering away next to her. She even occasionally answered the questions raised by a few classmates.

After a while, Huo Tian suddenly thought of something. She clapped her hands and raised her voice slightly to say to the people next to her, “It’s my 19th birthday in a few days. My family is having a birthday banquet. If you guys are free, you can attend it.”

Her classmates were all a little surprised. Although there were also some students from good families in the class, their families would not especially hold banquets on their children’s birthdays unless it was an 18-year-old coming of age ceremony.

The classmate beside her said curiously, “Don’t many people like to hold a banquet during their 18th birthday? Why did they specially choose to hold it at the age of 19?”

Another student slapped the one who spoke too quickly, causing the student to be stunned. His friend whispered into his ear, “Are you stupid? Huo Tian hadn’t returned to her biological mother when she was 18. Their family probably wants to make up for the regret of not being able to hold her coming of age ceremony on her 19th birthday because they wanted to make up for it.”

The classmate who had been feeling a little puzzled at first immediately looked enlightened.

In the class with a strong learning atmosphere, the students had a natural admiration and closeness to a study god like Huo Tian. Therefore, without Huo Tian telling them about it a second time, they all agreed to attend Huo Tian’s birthday banquet.

The students said in groups of two or three, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely go over when the time comes. Moreover, we can put the money together and let the class representative pick a birthday gift for you.”

The class representative was in the outer circle of the crowd. When he heard this, he nodded and said, “This is a good idea. Everyone can pool some money together. It won’t cost too much. We can just choose a gift that can represent all of our kind intentions.”

Huo Tian hadn’t wanted them to spend money, but after hearing what the class representative said and seeing that there weren’t any students with poor family backgrounds in the class, she stopped objecting.

Then, the students asked excitedly about the venue of the banquet and whether there was any specific dress code needed to attend the banquet.

Just as everyone was discussing excitedly, a gentle but very prominent voice rang out from the back door. “Hello, I’m looking for Xu Mei and Liu Qian.”

Everyone turned around and saw that the person was someone they knew.. It was Huo You, who was in the same class as them but had transferred classes later on.
