Wang Sheng Guo ate breakfast while chatting idly with Wang Teng.
Unlike before, Wang Teng did not tune out after half a sentence. Instead, he listened intently, as though pondering something.
"He's grown up..."
Wang Sheng Guo felt another surge of gratification. Wang Teng had truly been completely different these past two days.
He had always heard people say that so-and-so's child had suddenly grown up, becoming much more mature as a person.
Back then, all he could do was smile bitterly.
His own good-for-nothing son probably would not mature before he turned thirty.
Being a father really wore a man's heart to shreds!
But now, he had actually lived to see this day!
Sob sob sob~ He was so moved. His strictness had finally paid off; he had not been a strict father for nothing.
After finishing his porridge and wiping his mouth, Wang Sheng Guo said solemnly, "The National Higher Education Entrance Examination is a turning point in life. I hope you can think it over carefully yourself.
"I'm not telling you this so that you'll take the exam this year.
"The National Higher Education Entrance Examination is almost here. Your academic subjects are weak, and you've only just started martial arts training. There's definitely no hope this year—you can only wait until next year or the year after.
"The Education Bureau has regulations stating that you can apply for the Martial Arts Major before turning twenty, so you still have two chances to repeat a year.
"As long as you become an Advanced Martial Apprentice before you turn twenty, you'll have a chance to apply for the Martial Arts Major. As for your academic subjects, I can hire tutors to give you intensive remedial lessons. When the time comes, you'll still have a very good chance of getting in."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Teng, a trace of expectation hidden in his eyes.
Every father hoped his son would become a dragon!
Every father probably held such hopes for his child. Perhaps that was a kind of love, too!
Under Wang Sheng Guo's gaze, Wang Teng unhurriedly finished the fried dough stick in his hand, raised his head, and smiled. "Dad, maybe there's no need to wait until next year!"
The moment Wang Sheng Guo saw the smile on Wang Teng's face, he knew his son had taken his words to heart. Still, why did those words sound so punchable?
He could not help but laugh and scold, "Confidence is a good thing, but can you stop showing off in front of your dad, brat?"
He did not believe for a second that Wang Teng could get in this year.
"This child is getting naughtier and naughtier!"
Li Xiumei took the suit jacket from the hanger and handed it to Wang Sheng Guo, chiding Wang Teng.
"Oh, right. Starting today, I won't arrange a driver for you anymore. Drive yourself or take the bus—it's up to you." Wang Sheng Guo took the suit jacket and left after saying that.
Wang Teng was speechless. Had his former self really been so untrustworthy that someone had to pick him up and drop him off for school, afraid he would run off somewhere to fool around?
He shook his head and called out to Li Xiumei, "Mom, I'm done eating too. I'm off."
"Alright. Be careful on the road."
Wang Teng drove to East Sea No. 1 High School in twenty minutes. After finding a parking spot and parking the car, he headed toward his classroom.
Hmm... if he remembered correctly, it should be Senior Year 3, Class 8.
Senior Year 3's teaching building.
Most of the students here hurried along with tense expressions. The atmosphere was more than a little more intense than over at the Senior Year 1 and Senior Year 2 buildings.
By the time he reached the classroom, quite a few students were already bent over their books, studying hard.
So as not to disturb others, they merely moved their lips as they silently recited their texts without making any sound.
Wang Teng's arrival seemed especially abrupt in the quiet classroom. A few students looked up, surprise appearing in their eyes.
But they did not think much of it.
"This Rich Second Generation probably just happened to wake up early by accident!"
"Tomorrow, he'll probably go back to his usual routine of being late every day."
The same thought flashed through several students' minds. They immediately lowered their heads again and went back to their own business.
Wang Teng entered the classroom, and his eyes suddenly flickered.
Attribute Bubbles!
Several bubbles had actually dropped beside a few students.
Especially that female student silently reciting her text—a tiny bubble emerged from her mouth and slowly grew larger as she recited...
Then, with a pop, it fell to the floor.
She looked just like a goldfish blowing bubbles!
Wang Teng was utterly transfixed. Studying could drop bubbles too?!
He had always thought only martial arts had attribute points. It seemed that was not the case.
He walked over and quietly picked up several Attribute Bubbles without drawing attention.
Chinese*10 English*15 Biology*12 Chemistry*15 ...
The next moment, Wang Teng smiled. He had just been worrying that his academic subjects were poor, and now academic subject attributes had come right to him.
His cheat ability really was powerful!
After picking up the academic subject attributes, a great deal of knowledge appeared in Wang Teng's mind.
This knowledge was as though he had learned it himself. It merged directly into his memories and would not disappear.
Wang Teng sat down beside the bubble-blowing girl.
That was right—Wang Teng and she were deskmates.
This girl was their class monitor, Lin Chuhan. Her family circumstances were ordinary, but she was an absolute top student with hopes of entering one of Huaxia's most elite universities!
A poor student who was a Rich Second Generation, and a commoner girl who was a top student!
The two should never have ended up sitting together, yet Class Teacher Fan Weiming had arranged it that way.
Under the noble banner of having the excellent lead the poor!
Thus, Lin Chuhan, the best student, was made to lead Wang Teng, the worst student.
Old Fan's Sāo Operation nearly threw out the entire class's backs.
Was he not afraid of affecting Lin Chuhan, of leading a perfectly good elite student astray? She had hopes of getting into the best university in the country.
Of course, Lin Chuhan's looks were also a major reason everyone was filled with righteous indignation!
What a lovely Little White Flower she was. That sinful Old Fan had planted her right beside a pile of Cow Dung.
Unfortunately, everyone dared to be angry but not speak out.
A Rich Second Generation with hundreds of millions in family assets waiting to be inherited was not someone they could afford to provoke.
What surprised everyone, however, was that although Wang Teng, the Rich Second Generation, was ignorant and incompetent, he had not really affected Lin Chuhan.
They had been deskmates for over a year, yet Lin Chuhan's grades had always remained first place, never slipping once.
Moreover, because of Wang Teng, many boys did not dare bother Lin Chuhan. Instead, he had given her a quiet environment in which to study.
When the old man lost his horse, who could know it was not a blessing?
As Wang Teng looked at Lin Chuhan beside him, a memory surfaced in his mind.
It had been at the start of Senior Year 3.
One night, Wang Sheng Guo had suddenly said smugly to Wang Teng, "Son, I gave your Class Teacher a little something and had him arrange for the best student in your class to sit with you. You need to study hard with her.
"Oh, and don't bully that girl. If I find out, I'll break your legs. Hear me?"
When he heard this news, Wang Teng froze on the spot.
Especially when he saw Old Wang's smug expression, he was utterly speechless.
You put the prettiest girl in the entire school right in front of me, yet won't let me touch her? Are you really my biological father?
That was too cruel!
Complaints aside, Wang Teng did not dare disobey Wang Sheng Guo. Thus, he honestly spent a year being Lin Chuhan's good deskmate.
