Lu Chengzhou’s cool crisp voice could be heard on the other end. “I’m at the entrance.”

Gu Mang took her time before replying softly, “Ah, I’ll be there shortly.”

At the entrance, there was a black SUV parked along the side of the road. The car’s windows were down and in the driver’s seat and front pa.s.senger seat were He Yidu and Qin Fang. Lu Chengzhou sat at the back. When he saw Gu Mang, he got out from the car and walked towards her.

Gu Mang was holding a clear pencil case in her hands. The case contained all the essentials for the examination including her admission pa.s.s. Lu Chengzhou reached out to take it from her and took a look at the photo. She looked beautiful even in her ID photo.

“What do you feel like having later?” Lu Chengzhou held her hand. It felt a little cold so he wrapped her whole hand in his to warm it as he walked her to the car.

Gu Mang’s eyes were partially closed as she said lazily, “World Restaurant.”

“Sure.” Lu Chengzhou nodded and helped her open the car door. “Get in the car. I bought some food for you.”

When Qin Fang and He Yidu saw them, they shot a glance at each other. Both were regretting coming with Lu Chengzhou. Wasn’t this asking for torture?

When Gu Mang got into the car, Qin Fang turned to the back. “Sis… Gu Mang, how was the exam?”

He nearly addressed her as ‘sister-in-law’ by mistake. Gu Mang looked up expressionlessly. Her black and white eyes seemed chilly. For some unknown reasons, Qin Fang could not breathe. It seemed like his brain had tensed up.

He Yidu was really done with this idiot. How could he rub her nose in it? Did he still have to ask given Gu Mang’s results? She was now in Year Three and had gone through so many examinations. Yet, she scored zeros every single time.

Qin Fang quickly reacted to it.

He then realized that he was frightened by a girl. The corners of his lips twitched as he tried to force out a polite smile. “Never mind, even if the scores are zeros, it’s alright.”

If she could not get into a university, she still had the big boss backing her up.

Lu Chengzhou did not respond. He pa.s.sed her the macaron. “Have some first.”

“Oh,” Gu Mang responded and had one. She fished out her phone and found a comfortable posture to play games in. She sat lazily with bad posture.

He Yidu started the engine and drove to Starlight Plaza. After having dinner, Lu Chengzhou sent Gu Mang back to Ming City High School.

As they saw Gu Mang in, Qin Fang looked at Brother Cheng. “So you dropped everything at No.14 Research Center to have a meal with Sister-in-law?”

Lu Chengzhou shot him an indifferent glance.

Qin Fang was immediately intimidated so he shut his mouth and played games in the front pa.s.senger seat.

…

During next day’s cla.s.s, the predicted scores of the top few students were posted. Gu Yin scored around 710. Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang’s scores were about the same, around 690. In fourth place was Lu Yi who scored approximately 660. She fell behind Meng Jinyang and Qin Yaozhi by almost 30 points. The score of Yi Chen from Experimental High School was almost the same as Gu Yin. The questions this time around were really tough.

In the staffroom.

It was almost without a doubt that the top of the cohort was part of Luo Songhua’s cla.s.s. On top of that, this was the national joint exam. The top of the cohort was not just the top of Cla.s.s One. The top of the cohort was the top in Ming City and maybe even the top in the province.

Luo Songhua held her head high in the General Science staffroom as she taunted and jeered at Xi Yan.

“What is the point of being the top during school exams?” Luo Songhua sneered as she sat in the chair with her legs crossed. Her drooping eyes seemed especially unkind.

Xi Yan did not respond. She quietly marked the homework as before.

After seven days of revision, all of Ming City’s Year Three students went on seven days of vacation. After the break the second semester would officially begin.

The academic conference for top local and international schools would be held in the capital. They were preparing to admit students from all over the country. At the same time, on the second day of school re-opening, the portal to get the national joint exam’s scores would be officially opened. The entirety of Year Three was discussing the scores. Everyone was anxious, guessing who would the first be.
