Revealing a Tenth

The final results showed that An Nuan and Liu Chang'an had similar scores. An Nuan scored higher in Chinese and English, but lower in math and science. As a Liu Chang'an, An Nuan's total score was slightly lower than Liu Chang'an's.

It is generally expected that the admission score for Xiangtan University this year will be about 100 points higher than the key university admission score. Liu Chang'an and An Nuan are guaranteed to be able to choose their majors at will. Gao Dewei originally thought that they could study together in university, so their scores are naturally among the highest of all candidates.

Han Zhizhi's score was slightly lower than An Nuan's, but Han Zhizhi had already passed the independent enrollment of Wudaokou Vocational College and received a 20-point bonus. Her ideal school was Wudaokou Finance College, but Wudaokou Finance College did not have an undergraduate enrollment plan. She just felt that it would be convenient to take the postgraduate entrance examination because it was close to the school. However, she had recently watched a lot of TV dramas and idol dramas set in the Central Sea during the summer vacation, and now she wanted to go to a university in the Central Sea.

Zhang Taole's score was the lowest among the four people here, thirty points behind Han Zhizhi... Although it was actually a high score, Zhang Taole figured that Xiangtan University should be no problem for him, so he stopped being upset about not performing well in some subjects.

An Nuan went to Liu Yuewang's bedroom to report her results. This was a very meaningful thing. Many parents feel a sense of accomplishment after hearing their child's college entrance examination results, as if they have finally raised their little rascal to adulthood.

"Liu Chang'an, did you write something haphazardly again?" As an old classmate, Zhang Taole had heard the Chinese teacher criticize Liu Chang'an's exam essays for being completely unrestrained many times.

"No, I just thought the essay topic was a bit funny." Liu Chang'an smiled again.

"What's so funny?" Han Zhizhi looked at Liu Chang'an with some envy. "From now on, you can be with my Nuannuan forever."

"Finding a boyfriend in college is like finding a distant, far-off place," Zhang Taole said suggestively.

"I don't plan on that," Han Zhizhi said demurely. "The greatest significance for a girl to get into a good university is to make herself better."

"The greatest significance of getting into a good university lies in its rich library collection, numerous national key laboratories, and a plethora of cutting-edge and sophisticated scientific equipment and instruments. These are the most fascinating things; they make you feel that in the face of the greatness of natural science, everything must kneel down and pay homage," Liu Chang'an said with some anticipation. Today's Xiangtan University possesses research equipment that is, of course, incomparable to what it once was, both in terms of soft power and hard power.

"Science-obsessed," Zhang Taole said dismissively, even though she was also a science student.

"Isn't it said that the ultimate goal of science is theology?" Han Zhizhi said with a smile.

Liu Chang'an smiled. "The idea that science ends in theology is probably just something some people make up to glorify themselves."

"Let's not discuss this issue; it's not a harmonious topic," Zhang Taole said, stretching.

Liu Chang'an certainly didn't take theology seriously. Having lived for so long, he always felt that he was the closest person to God. The gods in myths and legends who lived for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years were nothing special. Especially in "Journey to the West," those gods who still held the Peach Banquet and planned to eat the Golden Cicada to prolong their lives were even more ordinary.

Having lived for so many years, if there were gods, surely I would have encountered one or two, right? Unfortunately, I haven't met a single one. Is it because the gods are too high and mighty, and they forgot about me after creating me? Liu Chang'an does want to go and find this creator when science is more advanced.

An Nuan came out of the bedroom, her eyes slightly moist, probably because Liu Yuewang had said something to her.

Women are, after all, emotional creatures. Shedding a few tears at important moments in life can make them feel more fulfilled.

Liu Yuewang also came out, still wearing that cheongsam, her hair perfectly styled. It seems her so-called lunch break was just talk; she was actually waiting for her college entrance exam results.

"I heard from Nuannuan that your grades are quite good. This afternoon, I'll treat you to a spa as a reward. There's a newly opened spa in Baolong Center. I went there with Zhizhi's mom last time, and it was quite good," Liu Yuewang said generously. As a woman, she knew that although these girls were only eighteen or nineteen years old, they had gone through the senior year of high school and were very enthusiastic about skincare and pampering.

Zhang Taole and Han Zhizhi immediately hugged An Nuan, jumping and skipping happily.

Liu Chang'an was in an awkward position.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go with him... um, let's go find Gao Dewei," An Nuan said after thinking for a moment.

"Don't spoil the fun, you guys go ahead." Of course, Liu Chang'an wouldn't pull An Nuan away at a time like this. He wasn't the kind of fragile man who needed someone to constantly protect him and watch his emotions. An Nuan's thoughtfulness was already quite good.

"Of course we'll go together! Liu Chang'an can play games in the lounge," Liu Yuewang said, looking like she'd been misunderstood. "We'll have dinner together tonight too."

"Forget playing games, you guys go to the spa. My home is near Baolong Center, I'm going home for a bit, we can have dinner together tonight." Liu Chang'an pointed to himself, "I can't exactly go shopping with you guys looking like this."

"You still know you're embarrassed looking like this?" An Nuan said reproachfully.

Liu Chang'an nodded, indicating that he was a young man who cared a lot about his image and was shy and knew how to feel ashamed.

Han Zhizhi ran across the hall to tell her mother, which took a little longer. Actually, Professor Ling had also checked Han Zhizhi's grades and was waiting to share the joy with her daughter.

Professor Ling had originally planned to go as well, but Han Zhizhi's father returned from his business trip, and someone had to stay at home. Professor Ling even gossiped a bit about Liu Chang'an's affairs before letting him go.

The group of five set off in Liu Yuewang's car. An Nuan usually sat in the front passenger seat, but she felt it was inappropriate to have Liu Chang'an and the two girls sit in the back, even though they were her best friends and she didn't mean to be a "fire- or thief" best friend. So An Nuan, Han Zhizhi, and Zhang Taole sat in the back.

Liu Chang'an conscientiously turned off his phone before sitting in the passenger seat, even though the possibility of Liu Yuewang sending messages while driving was zero.

Liu Yuewang fastened her seatbelt, but her cheongsam seemed a little tight while she was sitting. Liu Chang'an glanced at her sideways before focusing intently on what lay ahead. It wasn't that he was tempted; it was mainly because An Nuan was secretly observing him from behind.

"Your home is near Baolong Center..." After the car crossed the river, Liu Yuewang saw the towering Baolong Center building in the distance. She seemed to recall a morning when she secretly went to the Baolong Center supermarket to put a wishing plaque.

"Yes," Liu Chang'an replied casually.

Liu Yuewang turned to look at Liu Chang'an, slightly suspicious. The boy she saw that day seemed to resemble Liu Chang'an in height and figure. If he were wearing a school uniform, she would definitely be able to tell the difference. After all, it hadn't been that long, and Liu Yuewang's memory was usually quite good.

I didn't post much today. I've set a goal for myself tomorrow, and I'll give it a try.
