In this life, I will no longer be a scumbag to my childhood sweetheart - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: I guessed the essay topic!

At 7:30 in the morning, buses drove into the No. 2 Middle School campus.

This year’s college entrance examination was divided into several examination halls as usual, and No. 2 Middle School was one of them, but many people had to go to other examination halls.

Before leaving, Su Zelin stretched out a hand and said concisely: “Guys, do your best!”

Qin Shiqing stretched out her hand and folded it: “I hope you can all get into your ideal university!”

Tang Yan was the third: “Perform exceptionally well and make your wishes come true!”

Lu Haoran stretched out his hand, but retracted it. The honest man was a little embarrassed.

“Lu Haoran, you are so shy, are you still a man?” Tang Yan glared at him, grabbed the honest man’s hand and put it on her wrist.

I, I actually touched a girl’s hand!

Lu Haoran was so excited that he wanted to cry.

He gave Tang Yan another first time.

“Smooth sailing!” Lu Haoran also expressed his blessings.

The four hands were tightly folded together, as if a few young people had a deep friendship.

Several people came to the school gate.

Tang Yan and Lu Haoran were assigned to the same examination room, and their destination was No. 5 Middle School, while Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing went to No. 1 Middle School.

Before parting, Su Zelin said, “Haozi, Xiaoyanzi is now in your hands. You must take good care of her!”

“I will.” Lu Haoran nodded seriously.

Tang Yan glared, “I still need you to take care of me? I’m more than enough to take care of you!”

“Yes, yes, sorry.” Lu Haoran nodded.

“In that case, Xiaoyanzi, Haozi is in your hands. By the way, he is shy and may not be able to adapt to the examination room of other schools.” Su Zelin said with a smile.

“It’s okay. I’ll take him to the examination room first!” Tang Yan patted her chest, and was very righteous.

“Xiaoyanzi, I, I’m fine. Don’t bother about me!” Lu Haoran waved his hand quickly.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I have the final say, get on the bus!” Tang Yan pulled Lu Haoran towards a bus to No. 5 Middle School without saying anything.

Qin Shiqing couldn’t help but smile.

It would be fun if Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran became a couple. Although Xiaoyanzi was a bit strong, she was a perfect match for the honest Lu Haoran. Moreover, Su Zelin seemed to have some intention of bringing them together.

“Zelin, let’s go too!” Qin Shiqing also took Su Zelin’s hand and walked towards the bus of No. 1 Middle School.

The jade hand was warm and soft, which made Su Zelin’s heart flutter.

Well, after the college entrance examination, there will be no such scene, so let’s treat it as the last time!

Out of childhood friendship!

After getting on the bus and finding a double seat, Su Zelin asked Qin Shiqing to sit by the window because she was prone to motion sickness.

The two hands were quietly released, and both of them were a little embarrassed. Qin Shiqing looked at the scenery outside the window, while Su Zelin pretended to check the admission ticket and stationery.

The bus was full of people in a short while and slowly drove out of the campus.

There were still few private cars on the road in this era, and there was no risk of traffic jams even in the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the bus arrived at the destination.

Although they were both taking the exam at No. 1 Middle School, the teaching buildings where the two took the exams were different.

Qin Shiqing stopped at the fork in the road side by side.

She said softly: “Zelin, you must try your best to do well in the exam!”

“Of course I will, you are so long-winded. If you have the leisure to tell others, you might as well take care of yourself!” Su Zelin responded impatiently, and then wandered away.

At this time, Qin Shiqing suddenly remembered the evening when she met the gangster on the playground, and he said a few words to her.

“There is no way. We have walked together for so long, but you study well and walk fast. It is a miracle for someone like me to follow you for so long. Sooner or later, I will lose you.”

It was quite infuriating at the time.

But now I am no longer angry.

The girl’s eyes were like water.

Zelin, it’s okay. If you don’t walk fast, I’ll walk slower, so you won’t lose me!

*****

At 8:55 in the morning, the Chinese invigilator handed out the test papers.

There were still five minutes before the answer sheet was handed out. During this time, the candidates could review the questions, so that they could start writing immediately when the exam officially started without wasting time.

Qin Shiqing carefully read through it from beginning to end, and when she saw the last essay question, her pupils suddenly contracted.

It was really an essay on flood prevention and disaster relief!

*****

After the 150-minute Chinese exam ended, the two took the bus back to No. 2 Middle School again.

When they entered the classroom, they found that Tang Yan and Lu Haoran had returned.

They were all discussing the exam that had just passed, and their expressions were excited.

When Lu Haoran saw Su Zelin, he shouted, “Zelin, you guessed the essay topic correctly, it’s amazing!”

“Master Su, you are back, please take a seat!” At this moment, Xiaoyanzi’s pious attitude was like seeing a god, and she almost went up to kneel and lick him.

This time she was really convinced!

As expected of the person who won the second prize in the lottery by her grandfather’s dream, his premonition is so accurate!

Fortunately, with the attitude of believing it is better to believe it than not, Tang Yan read several related flood relief model essays. When she wrote, she was inspired and felt that she had a good performance. She should be able to get a high score in the essay.

When she saw the essay topic during the examination, she was excited, her confidence increased, and her state was very good. If nothing unexpected happened, her Chinese class score would exceed the usual level.

“With the essay as a foundation, Xiaoyanzi and I both think we did well in the exam. What about you?” Lu Haoran asked with a smile.

“It’s okay!” Qin Shiqing smiled slightly.

She was quite modest. No matter how well she performed, she was always “okay”. Besides, Qin Shiqing’s cold had already healed. Without any other factors affecting her, she must be very stable. Tang Yan and Lu Haoran were not worried.

Everyone looked at Su Zelin.

“That’s it!” Su Zelin raised his shoulders.

He was also very relaxed.

It’s not that he did very well in the exam, but that he didn’t take the college entrance examination seriously.

“It seems that everyone got a good start. This is a good start!” Xiaoyanzi made a summary, and then she looked at Su Zelin with expectation.

“Dad, please guess the math application questions in the afternoon!” [TN: ((UwU]

*****

Three days later, the college entrance examination was over.

In the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3 of No. 2 Middle School, some people were happy and some were sad.

Those who performed well were naturally happy, while those who did poorly were sad.

In any case, twelve years of hard study finally came to an end.

Although they still have to go to college. According to the seniors who went home during the holidays, life in college is quite easy. Sometimes they only need to attend classes for half a day, and the teachers don’t care if they ask for leave or skip classes. They can go in and out of school at any time, play in the Internet cafe all night, and have a relationship.

In short, it is all beautiful, described as if it is a paradise on earth, which makes people yearn for it leisurely. 

The burden on the shoulders is lifted, and the whole person is relaxed. [TN: Tsk..don’t believe this nonsense]

Every member of Su Zelin’s small circle of four is in a good mood.

Driven by the good start of the Chinese language subject, everyone in the following subjects is in a brave state and performs well, and everyone is happy in the end.

Tang Yan and the other two were chatting excitedly, and Su Zelin did not respond, but just looked at Qin Shiqing quietly.

His mood was very complicated.

Qin Shiqing had no reason to perform bad in this college entrance examination, and her performance might even be better than usual.

This also means that Tsinghua and Peking University are waving to her from afar.

It’s time to say goodbye!

After entering university, she and I will no longer be in the same city. The emotional entanglement of the previous life will never happen again in this life.

While feeling relieved, Su Zelin felt a little bitter in his heart.

“Su Zelin, why don’t you talk? Didn’t you do well in the exam?” Xiaoyanzi quickly discovered his abnormality.

“No, I’m just thinking about which college to apply for.” Su Zelin made up an excuse.

“Why think so much? Let’s talk about it after estimating the score. Besides, no matter what happens, you can at least get into a second-tier university. It will be difficult to get higher!” Xiaoyanzi has an accurate judgment of Su Zelin’s strength.

More than enough for a second-tier university, but not enough for a first-tier university.

“Yes, Zelin, you don’t have to worry too much. The essay topic has been guessed, and your English is so good, you can definitely get into a second-tier university!” Lu Haoran also comforted him, thinking that his best friend was worried about failing the exam.

After the college entrance examination, there is another very important thing to do during the period of leaving school, that is, estimating the score, and the score should be estimated as early as possible, otherwise you may forget the answering process.

Many candidates will write their answers on the draft, but not everyone has enough time for all subjects, so some can only estimate the score by memory.

After the estimation of several subjects, Tang Yan and Lu Haoran were very satisfied, and the scores were quite ideal.

Su Zelin was also within the acceptable range. After the rebirth, the math, physics and chemistry were a little lagging, but after a month of targeted cramming, he also made up for some.

The Chinese score should even be higher than the last college entrance examination score. As for English, it goes without saying that it is not a full score, but it is close to a full score. It depends on whether the teacher who marks the writing will deduct it. At least Su Zelin is still very confident.

In this way, the overall score is pulled up, which should be about the same as before the rebirth. There is no problem in applying for the second-tier college before.

What surprised everyone was Qin Shiqing.

“Shiqing, your score estimate is too low, isn’t it? Didn’t you say that you performed well?” Tang Yan frowned as she looked at Qin Shiqing’s total score estimate.

This estimate can’t be said to be bad, but it’s not as good as expected.

“Yes, Qin Shiqing, are you too conservative in your estimate of the subjective questions?”

Although there are standard answers for reference, some people’s score estimates cannot be 100% accurate. After all, there are subjective questions. The candidates may feel good about themselves, but the examiners don’t think so.

Some overly optimistic candidates even overestimated their actual scores by several tens of points, resulting in failure to admission in undesirable majors.

So teachers’ opinions are usually slightly conservative, but not too conservative.

“It’s better to be conservative. There was a senior who could have been admitted to a good 985 university, but he estimated his score too optimistically and applied to Peking University and Tsinghua University. In the end, he had to come back to repeat the year!”

Qin Shiqing explained calmly: “Besides, my performance this time was just barely good, not particularly good.”

“Qin Shiqing, are you stupid? I guessed the essay questions correctly for you, how could you not do well in the exam!” Su Zelin was immediately defeated.

Not only the essay questions, but also the exercises he usually asked Qin Shiqing for help were the types that would appear in the college entrance examination.

In theory, Qin Shiqing must be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, but she estimated this bad score. Although it was not as bad as her previous life, it was not ideal after all. This score actually has a good chance of being admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, but it cannot be said to be very stable, at least for a good major, it is not stable.

He spent a lot of effort and did so much calculations, and he didn’t want anything to go wrong in the end.

“Su Zelin, why are you so excited? It makes it seem like Shiqing doesn’t want to do well in the exam.”

Tang Yan glared at Su Zelin fiercely, and she felt very sorry for her deskmate: “Besides, Shiqing had that before the exam, and her cold may not have completely recovered, so her performance will be affected to some extent!”

“After all, it’s just an estimate. Qin Shiqing may have estimated it too conservatively, but Zelin is also concerned about her!” Lu Haoran tried to smooth things over.

Su Zelin stopped talking, and his emotions were indeed a bit too much just now.

“Shiqing, do you think you should apply for Tsinghua University or Peking University?” Tang Yan asked cautiously.

“Based on this estimate, there is a high probability that you can get in, and you may also have underestimated it.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Qin Shiqing.

“I have to think about it, and then consult my teacher and parents, and make a decision later.” Qin Shiqing said calmly.

“Shiqing is right, you have to be cautious when applying for admission. The teacher may be more experienced, and the advice of my parents is also important.” Lu Haoran agreed.

He also had to take back his estimated scores and application form, and study them carefully with his parents.

“Well, it seems that this is the only way!” Tang Yan nodded slightly.

Qin Shiqing glanced at Su Zelin: “My admission to Tsinghua and Peking University is uncertain, and someone seems to be very dissatisfied.”

“That’s right, you made me, Su Banxian, who finally calculated the essay topic with his fingers, angry! Besides, I was thinking about how to show off to my friends that the person living next door got admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, and I will also have face!” Su Zelin was righteous.

“Tsk, face, as if you got admitted yourself!” Tang Yan curled her lips and didn’t take it seriously.

“Zelin cares about Shiqing, so he naturally hopes that Shiqing can go to the best college!” The honest man tried to smooth things over again.

“No, no, no, you are wrong. The most important thing is that there is a bonus for being admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, and it’s not too much. For the essay topic I foresaw, it’s not too much to share half of the bonus, right?” Su Zelin looked like a money-grubber.

“Isn’t it normal for friends to help each other? Besides, you just happened to guess it right. You actually want to share half of Shi Qing’s bonus, Su Zelin, you are so shameless!” Xiaoyanzi was so angry that she laughed.

This bastard is still as thick-skinned as ever!
