Chu Luo went on until past six o’clock. When she stopped, everyone looked at her anxiously.
The same message was written in their eyes: Say more.
Chu Luo said with a straight face, “There will be two subjects tomorrow. You guys should revise the two major questions I mentioned just now.”
After saying that, she rubbed her stomach. She refused to admit that she was hungry.
Old Gao, who was standing at the side, happened to see her inconspicuous action. He smiled and said to everyone, “Chu Luo is right. Everyone, go and revise your Chinese and English first. After three years of sharpening your swords, everyone will go to the battlefield tomorrow. All the best!”
Everyone then prepared to take their remaining books away.
Old Gao turned around and patted Chu Luo’s shoulder with absolute trust. “Chu Luo, I have nothing to say for tomorrow’s exam. Teacher believes in you. When the results are out, Teacher will celebrate for you.”
When He Jiang, who happened to walk over, heard this, he deliberately said in a displeased tone, “Old Gao, you can’t give special treatment. If you want to treat someone to a meal, treat our entire class too.”
The others immediately agreed. “Exactly.”
Old Gao retorted with a smile, “Alright, as long as you can score your expected results, I’ll invite everyone.”
“Hoho…”
“For Old Gao’s promise, I will definitely give it my all.”
“Me too. I must study the question type Chu Luo had mentioned tonight.”
Chu Luo waited for everyone to finish speaking before nodding at Old Gao and saying, “Then I’ll leave first.”
“Go back. Remember tomorrow’s exam time.”
“Got it, Teacher.”
Everyone walked out of the classroom. There weren’t many people left in the entire building.
After walking out of the school building, Li Tao suddenly stopped Chu Luo.
The others seemed to have guessed something and left tactfully.
As the two of them stood in front of the school building, Chu Luo asked, “What is it?”
Li Tao clenched his fists by his sides. Worried that Chu Luo would reject him, he straightened his neck and said quickly, “If we can get into the same school, can I pursue you?”
Chu Luo looked at Li Tao and refused without hesitation. “No.”
With that, she turned to leave.
Li Tao subconsciously reached out to stop her. “Why?”
“I will only date someone as capable as me.”
Chu Luo left after saying this.
Li Tao looked at Chu Luo’s back. At this moment, he didn’t understand what she meant, so he shouted at her, “Chu Luo, I will get into Imperial University. When the time comes, I will definitely pursue you.”
Chu Luo continued walking forward without looking back.
As the college entrance examination would start tomorrow, the Grade 10 and Grade 12 students would have their afternoon off.
Chu Luo had just reached the road beside the field when another person walked out and stopped her.
“Chu Luo.” It was Zhang Tianyi.
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at him. Her expression turned cold. “Get lost!”
After saying that, she wanted to continue walking, but Zhang Tianyi stopped her again with an unfriendly expression. “Today, I heard about everything that happened to you these past two months. You dare to say that your personality didn’t change because of me? You…”
Bam!
“Ouch~~”
Chu Luo retracted her fist and looked at Zhang Tianyi, who covered his nose in disbelief and said fiercely, “If the college entrance examination weren’t tomorrow, I would let you know the consequences of being narcissistic in front of me.”
“You… you violent woman!”
“Ha! I don’t want to waste my breath on a narcissist like you.”
Chu Luo waved her fist at him.
Zhang Tianyi subconsciously took a few steps back. He was angered by Chu Luo’s behavior and said in a low voice, “Chu Luo, don’t be smug. I heard that you said that you wanted to get first place in the country, hur hur! You want to get first place in the country with your results? I doubt you can even get into the key universities…”
“What if I can get in?” Chu Luo looked at him with dark eyes.
“If you can get first place in the country, oh no… if you can get first place in the entire school, I’ll go abroad immediately and never appear in front of you again.”
“Sure. Remember what you said.”
Chu Luo left after saying that.
Zhang Tianyi looked at Chu Luo’s back and sneered. “You actually want to get first place in the entire school? I doubt you can even get into the key universities.”
…
As Chu Luo left the school late, Chu Ting had already been picked up by the chauffeur.
Chu Luo didn’t mind. She turned around and returned to her apartment.
The next day, Old Gao was surprised to see Chu Luo come to the school alone.
“Chu Luo, didn’t you go home last night?”
Chu Luo only nodded.
As her form teacher, Old Gao had actually long been in disapproval of Chu Luo’s parents’ actions of valuing the elder sister over the younger sister. However, the child was about to enter the examination hall, so he couldn’t say anything to affect her mood.
He patted her shoulder and said, “Do your best. I’m still waiting to give you a celebratory feast.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and boarded the school bus with the others to the examination venue.
Due to the college entrance examination, every school’s school bus was led by a police car. The roads leading to the examination venue had also been sealed two hours earlier. Other than the cars that sent the students, no other cars were allowed to pass.
The parents who sent their kids to the examination venue were all outside the examination hall. Chu Luo, Old Gao, and her classmates alighted from the school bus.
Old Gao subconsciously glanced at the parents’ waiting area. The parents of his students were all here, and even those from afar had rushed over. When he saw Chu Zhengyang and Wei Wei, who were carefully advising Chu Ting, he was furious.
Nonetheless, he asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, do you want to go and talk to your parents?”
Chu Luo also saw the three of them and shook her head coldly. “No need.”
Old Gao was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly took out a red headband from his trouser pocket and tied it on his forehead before everyone’s eyes. The words “Victory in the College Entrance Examination” were especially striking.
He said, “Go in. Teacher will be waiting outside the examination hall for you and everyone for the next few days. Good luck!”
Chu Luo nodded at him and turned to walk into the school.
At this moment, Chu Zhengyang happened to look up to look for Chu Luo. With a single glance, he saw her walking towards the school gate and was about to go over. When Chu Ting saw that, she immediately grabbed his arm and said in a wheedling tone, “Daddy, I’m about to enter the examination hall. I’m so nervous.”
Chu Zhengyang quickly stopped to comfort her. “Your results have always been good. Your teacher said that as long as you stay calm, you will definitely be able to get into Imperial University.”
“Okay… I’ll go in, then. You and Mommy must wait for me outside.”
“Go, go. We’ll be waiting for you outside during these three days.”
“Okay.” Chu Ting walked away.
Wei Wei stopped her again. “Tingting, check for your entry slip and pen bag first. Don’t miss them.”
“Mommy, don’t worry. I’ve already checked them a few times.”
“That’s good. Take the exam well. Mommy will reward you handsomely when you’re done.”
“Hehe, okay, Mommy.”
…
The college entrance examination officially began.
When the candidates received the first paper, their hearts skipped a beat.
No one expected the college entrance examination papers to be so difficult this year.
The students, who were originally filled with confidence, turned increasingly serious.
In the last examination, Chu Luo was the first to submit her papers and walk out of the examination hall.
When Chu Luo walked out of the examination hall, Old Gao welcomed her.
Old Gao asked nervously, “Chu Luo, how do you think your results were?”
Chu Luo nodded at him.
Old Gao smiled.
Then, people gradually walked out of the examination hall. Everyone seemed to have shed a layer of skin. Some people even wailed as they walked out of the examination hall.
Only the students from Ocean City’s elite high school, Grade 12, Class 4, were still smiling when they walked out of the school.
As soon as everyone saw Chu Luo standing with Old Gao, they surrounded her.
“Chu Luo, you’re amazing. You spotted the major questions 90% correctly.”
“Chu Luo, where are you going for your graduation trip during the holidays? Why don’t we go together?”
“Chu Luo, let’s have a graduation party tonight. Everyone can take the chance to thank you properly.”
When Old Gao heard this, he deliberately said with a straight face, “Go back to school after the exam. I have something to tell you guys.”
Chu Luo glanced at Chu Zhengyang, who was waving at her to go over. She nodded and said, “I’ll go talk to them.”
When Chu Luo arrived at Chu Zhengyang’s side, Chu Ting was already there.
At this moment, Chu Ting was wiping her tears as though she had been dealt a heavy blow. Wei Wei was comforting her, “Since the question type this time is very difficult, it follows that everyone else did not do well either. Tingting, what are you worried about? Everyone’s marks are low, so the Imperial University’s cutoff marks will definitely drop.”
Chu Zhengyang originally wanted to comfort Chu Ting, but when he saw Chu Luo walking over, he subconsciously asked, “Luoluo, how did you do?”
Chu Luo replied, “Not bad.”
When Chu Ting heard this, her voice immediately became sharp. “I didn’t even do well, so how could you have done alright!”
