Chapter Fifteen

  A rainy day is the most hated weather for cyclists.

  Wearing a raincoat and plastic sandals, I arrived at the classroom all sweaty and rainy.

  Chen Huaixing applied a lot of talcum powder on herself before going out - not the slippery stone powder without a puff, but the ice powder she added herself was great - took off her raincoat, put on the rubber shoes stored in a plastic bag, and rolled down her pants. Instantly restored warmth and refreshment.

  The classroom is filled with all sorts of smells, fragrant, stinky, smelly, and indescribable. Many fragrant products are industrial perfumes that make your head dizzy after smelling them for a long time; some people use floral water, but unfortunately the musk in it combines with the ammonia in sweat to produce a nauseating mixed smell.

  Luckily, the 15 minutes of clearing up before the third mock exam allowed me to take a deep breath of the refreshing air with a hint of grassy smell in the rain, and also the... awful... old-fashioned toilet.

  She has now reached a respectable level of tolerance for the stench. The nursing home's bathroom is already quite clean, and she even put in some lemongrass essential oil in wooden bottles. Alas, these beautiful, elegant, practical, and fragrant things are not only unaffordable but also impossible to buy!

  No no, I must open a store or something, hmm, or an online store? Anyway, it's all about spreading beauty to the world...

  With all sorts of yearning and even fantasy, Chen Huasheng was abnormally excited like he had been injected with chicken blood as he answered the questions.

  After the exam, Friday noon. Two and a half days off, teacher said it's already fǎnzhèng time, shouldn't be studying hard anymore, but should adjust one's mentality and physical condition, reflect on 12 years of study, with a relaxed body and mind to welcome the most important exam in life...

  As a result, Chen Hua spent two and a half days flipping through fashion magazines in the library. As a result, when she saw that Pang Hua, who was once known as a handsome guy, had his entire face ruined by acne scars, she became even more determined to do something to save the appearance of men and women, young and old...

  Third place

  That's basically it.

  Don't think about it for the first three years, but a good school should be fine.

  This may be the greatest advantage of starting all over again in this life: a slightly higher starting point, so maybe the road ahead will be... smoother, happier...

  Happiness!

  With a hint of distraction amidst his excitement, Chen Haosong walked into the college entrance examination hall.

  Function normally.

  It should be said that many of these are due to the school's teaching methods and the strong sense of rhythm in the simulated exams.

  After the estimated scores, Chen Huaisheng filled in the first choice of F University's Law School with his parents' complicated eyes. The first major was male high-pitched voice and the second major was English. The second choice and subsequent specialty choices were all filled with Dad's college English major and English education major.

  Dad rushed to make a phone call when she went to school to submit her application.

  My mother is working hard and has even been promoted to manager. In her previous life, my mother was a senior engineer until she retired, but now she is the manager of the high-tech department. This... seems to be related to my good grades in this life.

  In her faint memories, her parents were not such easy-going people who let everything be decided by her. Instead, they often looked at her with a severe and critical gaze, saying this was no good and that wasn't right. This was also one of the reasons she didn't divorce that man when she discovered he couldn't change his bad habits: her parents would absolutely not want to see her get divorced and bring their children to live off them. And by the time she had the ability to buy another house, hire a nanny, and deal with gossip and rumors, the old people had already passed away...

  That's right, after the college entrance examination, they set their own goals. With their current scores, of course, they didn't get into F University, then went to that school, met that person, got married and had children, struggled, finally divorced and died young.

  Now thinking of those things that may not be real, my heart still feels a deep sorrow - life is so hard, but I don't know the reason.

  "Niang niang? Niang niang? Aren't you supposed to take graduation photos today? Why are you spacing out?"

  "Oh, I'm leaving. Mom, I'll cook dinner when I get back."

  "Great! Great! Great!" There's nothing stored in the fridge! So my daughter will definitely make a new dish! Hehehe.

  Third-year high school students on their way to school, some are lazy, some are distracted, some are nervous, and some are excited. But those who remain calm like Chen Huicheng are really rare.

  "Is the estimated score about right?" Mingming came over and patted her shoulder. "F, law school?"

  "Uh, I guess so, unless the admission scores for this year are ridiculously high, then I should be able to get into the English department. How about you? Are you going to Nanjing University of International Trade?"

  "I'm not sure if I can get in, maybe my major will be adjusted. But my second choice is also international trade." San Mingming's scores were lower than Chen Hui's by a few dozen places in the three mock exams, so it's hard to say whether he can get into Nanda's popular major. "Your second choice won't all be English, right?"

  "English, English education. That's all."

  "Pffft... Your dad's school English education?"

  Yes.

  "Haha, I filled in all the colleges with my mom's school. But I guess it's impossible to go now."

  The two of them casually threw their diplomas into their backpacks and continued chatting.

  Chi Xiaoli's performance this time was not particularly good, only ranking in the top ten of her grade. However, it's likely that she won't have any problems with her first choice. The student who performed best in their class is probably Zuo Zhixuan, but Chen Huaicheng still had the highest English score and can be considered one of the top students in terms of English proficiency for admission to a top law program.

  Several boys who are not very talkative usually, today seem particularly excited, pulling people to chat everywhere. A few lively girls may be silent because of their uncertain future.

  "Sigh, it's time for us to go our separate ways. Aren't you excited or feeling sentimental at all?" asked Shan Mingming.

  "I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll just end up studying locally after all."

  "Cut!"

  "What are you guys talking about? We're going down to take a group photo."

  "Hmm, Chen Huaisheng just said that if luck is too bad, then will end up at xxx College studying English Education."

  "Oh dear, I'm actually a student of XX University's English Education major. But Chen Huai-sheng's grades wouldn't be that bad..."

  "I just want to make all kinds of preparations."

  "Get out of here!"

  Everyone stupidly put their graduation certificates facing forward on their chest. Only two or three students said "eggplant" because the photographer wasn't used to letting the students say this word to keep smiling - graduation photos don't need smiles, as long as everyone is in the photo.

  It didn't take long before the results were officially announced.

  In a few more days, the admission notice also arrived.

  Chen Haotian was still calm, but he couldn't help taking a few more glances at the paper. His parents were also very happy, but not to the point of being overjoyed. They did feel a little regretful: with this score, he could get into any university in mainland China, what a pity!

  "Dad, Mom, is there anything I can do this summer vacation, like getting a job or doing something?"

  The parents exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously jumped up.

  "Oh, okay! Nangnang, as long as you're happy, don't overexert yourself..."
