College Entrance Exam

After returning home, under his mother's pressure, Su You gave her a redacted account of the day's events; the parts about the "Bun Beauty" and the tryst in the small woods were naturally omitted.

After listening, his mother let out a sigh: "Sigh, you really are too naive. Such a great opportunity, how did it only end with holding hands?"

Su You offered a shy smile, successfully maintaining his image as a well-behaved boy. Oh yeah!

Over the next few days, because Tang Yongqing was busy with her pre-college entrance exam review, Su You suddenly found himself with plenty of free time.

Between martial arts training, he contacted Manager Wang's daughter once. She was the same age as Su You, but her looks were only above average, so after their first conversation, Su You never took the initiative to contact her again.

Clearly, she didn't qualify to enter Brother You's "fish pond" and couldn't successfully ascend to the position of female lead.

June 7, 2053, the first day of the college entrance exam. Outside Lubei District No. 1 High School in Tianjin City, a large crowd of examinees and parents had gathered, including Gong Yanrong, Su You, and Tang Yongqing.

According to the exam venue arrangements, Tang Yongqing was assigned to test at No. 1 High School, while Tang Yongyuan was assigned to No. 3 High School.

Originally, Tang's father and mother intended to accompany one child each, but his mother, Gong Yanrong, volunteered and dragged Su You along to take on the task of looking after Tang Yongqing.

"Xiao Qing, keep a steady mindset. Just performing at your usual level will be enough, no need to be nervous," his mother, Gong Yanrong, said with a cheerful smile, though in Su You's eyes, she seemed even more nervous than Tang Yongqing herself.

Su You looked at Tang Yongqing and suddenly said viciously: "Do well on the exam. If you don't do well, watch out, or I'll break up with you!"

"Pfft!" Just as Tang Yongqing let out a laugh, his mother, Gong Yanrong, had already reached out and pinched Su You's waist.

"How dare you talk nonsense! If Xiao Qing doesn't do well, I'll skin you alive, you little brat!"

After practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art, Su You had become increasingly thick-skinned and tough. Even though his mother used quite a bit of force, it felt no different from a tickle to him.

However, he still put on an expression of extreme agony so that his mother would let go as soon as possible.

"Oh, the gates are open! Time to go in!" Su You, with his sharp eyes, shouted. His mother immediately stopped and began checking Tang Yongqing's stationery and identification documents for the third time.

After finishing the check, his mother hurriedly said: "Everything is fine. Xiao Qing, go on in!"

"Mm." Tang Yongqing responded. She had only walked two steps forward before turning back around.

"Brother Su You, you haven't encouraged me yet!" Tang Yongqing looked at Su You with hopeful eyes.

His mother gave Su You a heavy pat. "That's right, why aren't you encouraging Xiao Qing? Hurry up, don't delay her exam."

Su You paused for a moment, raised his fist, and said with a smile: "Good luck, Xiao Qing!"

"That lacks sincerity," Tang Yongqing said, puffing out her cheeks.

"Ah? Then what should I do?" Su You asked with a bitter face.

Tang Yongqing pointed to her flushed cheeks, looking at the ground without saying a word.

"Ah, there are so many people here!"

Su You was a bit stunned. Seeing Tang Yongqing keep her head down in silence, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Fine, you're the boss today. Whatever you say goes." Su You reached out, cupped her face, and gave her a quick kiss.

"Satisfied now?"

Tang Yongqing gave a barely perceptible nod. Not daring to look at Gong Yanrong, she turned and walked toward the school gate.

Watching Tang Yongqing pass the inspection and enter the school, Gong Yanrong looked at Su You and said: "Yo, you two are developing quite well, aren't you?"

"Cough, cough." Su You kept a straight face. "Mom, your son's innocence is gone."

"Pah, get lost!" His mother spat at him, then continued:

"You wait here until Xiao Qing finishes her exam. I'm going back to cook with Aunt Li. When Xiao Qing comes out, you two go straight to your Uncle Tang's house, understand?"

Su You nodded. In this life, the Huaxia Country college entrance exam had undergone significant changes after the Great Nirvana.

The exam lasted for three days, with only three subjects. In order, they were the Science exam (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), the Liberal Arts exam (Chinese, History, Politics, Geography), and the Mathematics exam.

Each subject was worth 250 points—yes, standing out from the crowd, no problem there!

Because only one subject was tested per day, the actual exam time was only three hours in the morning. After finishing, one could go straight home to prepare for the next day's exam.

At noon, at the Tang family's dining table.

Except for Su You's father, both families were present. Tang Yongqing and Tang Yongyuan were naturally the protagonists of the day, while Su You, the dropout, remained in the position of the "youngest of the young."

Three days passed in a flash. As the bell rang inside Lubei District No. 1 High School, the 2053 college entrance exam officially concluded.

Thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, the speed of grading exam papers in this world was extremely fast. One week later, on the evening of June 16th at 8:00 PM, one could check their scores, and the undergraduate cutoff lines would be released at the same time.

Once the exam was over, Su You had much fewer worries. From the second day on, except for having to return home at night, he and Tang Yongqing were almost completely unrestricted, and the adults of both families were happy to see it happen.

Therefore, during this week, the two were inseparable, and they even turned the villa in the Guanglan Residential Quarter into their dating base, no longer needing to sneak into the small woods.

At 7:50 PM on the 16th, in the Tang family living room, Tang Yongqing and Tang Yongyuan each had a laptop in front of them, waiting to check their scores.

The adults were all a bit anxious, their conversations distracted.

On the contrary, the three minors were not nervous at all. Tang Yongyuan was typing rapidly on his phone, seemingly chatting with someone, while Su You and Tang Yongqing were whispering and laughing.

"Hm? The scores are out!" Tang Yongyuan shouted, putting down his phone and beginning to operate his computer.

Tang Yongqing also refreshed the score inquiry page. Just as she finished entering her name, ID number, and exam permit number, she heard Tang Yongyuan shout:

"My total score is 686! I can definitely get into Kyoto University!"

The adults immediately crowded around, each stretching their necks like giraffes to peer at the computer screen.

The difficulty of the college entrance exam in this world was actually significantly higher than in Su You's previous life; although English had been removed as a subject, the lack of a distinction between liberal arts and sciences made achieving a high score much more challenging.

"What about Xiaoqing? How much did Xiaoqing score?" his mother Gong Yanrong asked hurriedly.

The laptop screen flickered, and a table instantly appeared.

Candidate: Tang Yongqing

Gender: Female

ID Number:

Exam Number:

Liberal Arts: 223

Sciences: 246

Mathematics: 242

Total Score: 711

Undergraduate Cutoff: 574

"Haha, Xiaoqing scored 711!"

His mother Gong Yanrong danced with joy, seemingly even happier than she had been a few days ago when Su You signed his S-rank contract, leaving Su You feeling quite sour inside.
