Chapter 5: The Prelude to the College Entrance Examination, the Queen's Powerful Counterattack

  "But I still admire you, look up to you. I know that for now, I can only gaze up at you from afar, but one day, when I'm able to stand tall and proud in front of you, I won't let you off so easily!" The girl's eyes shone with a deep, almost piercing determination, and Shao Qi couldn't help but feel curious - what made her so confident?

  But soon he was relieved.

  People of this age always need a goal to strive for, and she is just one of her goals now.

  Although he wasn't very happy about it, he couldn't object either. After all, that was someone else's freedom. He was a lazy person and didn't have the energy to go around striking down others.

  "You have enough courage and confidence, who knows what will happen in the future?" After glancing at the somewhat blurry classroom shadow in the distance, Shao Qi left behind a vague question and departed without lingering.

  "Does that mean I have a chance? Remember my name, Xiang, the direction of Xiang, the color of Yan...". The girl's voice seemed to finally have a faint joy, a joy mixed with the gentle breeze blowing quietly in his ear, as if it were a beautiful melody flowing smoothly.

  Under the dark night sky, a cool breeze blew gently, and there were faint ripples in the young man's eyes...

  How far is forever?

  How much more time is there?

  Three years of time is precious, some people think it's a forever stay in the same place, while others think it's an uncatchable fleeting moment.

  It is said: Now suffer for three years and in the future be happy for thirty years. But now being happy for three years will definitely lead to suffering for thirty years in the future.

  Can high school life attitudes really determine future happiness?

  No one can be certain, so it's just a matter of: believe it and you will, don't believe it and you won't.

  Shao Qi didn't know if he believed it himself, but he was willing to follow the theoretical way and move forward normally. He tried his best to make this path smooth sailing.

  It's just like his current reading career, although he doesn't think that reading can really change a person's fate or determine whether their future material life is rich or poor.

  But he has already read books, so he must have a good result.

  He always thought that when doing something, one must love it.

  Once chosen, one must be willing to go all out, just like after choosing a career, one must be dedicated and then enjoy the work.

  Time flies like water, and it's already been a month in the blink of an eye.

  Life is ordinary, as calm as water, yet ripples still appear on its surface.

  The dark clouds of the college entrance examination are getting closer and closer, accompanied by the overwhelming pressure that quietly covers the hearts of every examinee, as if they have been infected with a mysterious poison, making even breathing feel difficult.

  Of course, this high school enrollment work is also being carried out enthusiastically.

  Whether in the classroom or at the school gate, there are all kinds of promotional materials for schools, and many promoters even enter the classroom to make passionate speeches.

  "We are in class now, if you don't disturb our class time, I think we will all be very grateful."

  Standing straight in the middle of the door, with a stern and unyielding tone, the teacher coldly and mercilessly rejected those who attempted to negotiate their way in for promotional purposes.

  Watching the other person leave with a sullen face, the teacher in his 40s gently closed the door and then said sternly: "In the future, don't let these kinds of people waste your time. A truly good university would not come to promote itself before you've even taken the college entrance exam, would it?"

  Picking up a colorful flyer from the podium, the teacher's short and stout body shook slightly with disdain. "Look at this, what kind of school is this? I'm telling you the truth, you don't even need to finish high school to get in..."

  Without looking at the reactions of the people around, he directly collected all the promotional materials in the classroom and threw them into the trash can. After that, he patted his hands as if they had been stained with something dirty, and said solemnly: "A truly good university is not afraid of not being able to recruit students. Now it's impossible for us to lower our status and take the initiative to find you, unless after the college entrance examination, you can speak with your scores..."

  This world is indeed so realistic, if you're not excellent enough, who will take you seriously?

  So, life requires hard work and effort in building every detail of our lives.

  Perhaps fate is like this, many major changes are often hidden in some unexpected accidents.

  "Did you hear?" A girl's voice started to whisper.

  "Of course I know, how could I possibly not know about such a big thing?" The person next to him, however, didn't seem cautious at all.

  "Really, really, this is surprisingly delightful!" People who heard them talking chimed in.

  In self-study class, it's rare to see the whole school boiling over like a summer evening when animals are enthusiastically performing in a concert.

  Exciting!

  Shocking!

  Yes, how can one not be excited, how can one not have a burning passion?

  It's as if a tornado suddenly appeared in the vast desert, and everything that was calm at this moment is not so calm.

  Yang Li has arrived!

  That superstar who always shines brightly whether on street billboards or in the 8 o'clock prime-time TV dramas.

  That same person is from this remote school, young in years, yet shining brightly in this world, is a legendary senior with outstanding grades.

  It's actually Yang Lei!

  Unforgettable!

  Can't forget the teacher's announcement at that moment, his face suddenly became more intimate than parents.

  Unforgettable excitement when I learned that I would be in close proximity to my idol without having to buy those mechanical and cold concert tickets.

  Whether they're star-chasers or not, they're all excited and thrilled.

  Because she has an enviable aura, because she is their senior sister, and she was once as ordinary and insignificant as they were, staying in this poor and old school.

  Having a perfect expectation for the future is not an exception for anyone, her arrival even more clearly told them that dreams are not far away.

  It has to be said that the high school's mobilization meeting was almost a success before it even started. What could be more magical than having familiar and idolized successful people come to mobilize?

  It's almost early summer now, and the color of the sun in the sky has also deepened gradually.

  That's how Yang Li came.

  Treading on the golden ground, with a body dyed in elegance, her slender figure appears dazzling yet somewhat sacred and eerie.

  "Wow, it's been a long time since I've been back here!" The golden light shone directly on the playground, and in the middle of the high platform, the woman looked around and spoke with a hint of teasing.

  Under the stage was an eerie silence like a deserted street.

  Everyone gazed silently at the stunning woman on stage, who elegantly removed her oversized sunglasses and smiled: "Hello, esteemed teachers, fellow students, I am Yang Lei."

  "Wow......" The thunderous applause surged forward like a tidal wave.

  "...". With the crowd, Shao Qi also looked up at the woman on the high platform. She had light makeup and a black leather jacket that made her look neat and capable.

  "The college entrance exam is the first turning point in life..." Her bright red lips opened and closed rhythmically, her bright smile was dazzling, just like under the spotlight on TV.
