Lin Fuxi smiled shyly. "At our county school, our teachers have always told us that the college entrance examination is the most direct and visible way to change our destiny. My family lives in the county, so we don't have such good conditions and don't know many connections. I have no choice. If I don't work hard and do well in the exam, I won't be able to go to Peking University, and I may end up staying in the county and living in mediocrity. But the cost of living in City B is high, and the prices are a bit higher than in our county. I can only do my best to get a scholarship and reduce the burden on my family. Otherwise, I may not be able to continue my university studies..."

"You succeeded, and you're outstanding." Jin Xiyue put a hand on Lin Fuxi's shoulder. "Not only did you get into Peking University, you also received a full scholarship. Our school only has three full scholarships this year. Two went to the two top scorers in the college entrance examination in City B this year, and the other one is you."

Tan Mo looked at the three of them silently.

These three have only known each other for a short time, so it’s not certain that they have a very good relationship.

But from the three of them, Tan Mo thought of a word that could particularly accurately describe their behavior.

Stick together.

It was just like when she was first moved into her master's cave and was ostracized by the other little goblins.

It's not necessarily that bad, it's just an instinctive social behavior, and Tan Mo doesn't mind it.

"By the way, judging from your accent, are you from City B?" Jin Yuelin asked with a smile.

"Yes." Tan Mo nodded.

"That's great." Lin Fuxi looked envious, but his smile was a little sour. "The admission score in City B is much lower than other places."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi's expressions froze.

They didn't expect that Lin Fuxi was so good at chatting that he could just talk till the end.

The two of them had no intention of bragging to each other just now. Anyone who could get into Peking University had top-notch grades. As long as the gap was not too big, there was nothing to brag about.

They just wanted to show their strength first so as not to be looked down upon.

But isn't Lin Fuxi implying that Tan Mo was able to get in only because she had a B City household registration?

This is a bit insulting.

Even if the score line in City B is relatively low, this is Peking University, how low can it be?

"I heard that City B had a top scorer in the liberal arts exam," Lin Fuxi added. "It's a pity I chose science in high school, otherwise I'd also like to take City B's liberal arts exam to see how well I could do."

Doesn't this mean that if she were to take the liberal arts test in City B, she would also be able to get full marks?

This is really looking down on the level of City B.

Qin Muye's face fell, and he said, "You might be able to answer all the other questions correctly, but can you do the essay? This year's full-mark essay made all the other essays look terrible to the examiner. This isn't just in City B; teachers from all over the country have said that the essay is exceptionally high-quality. They even alerted Professor Gu from Beijing University to come and examine the papers."

Qin Muye twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. "Even if you can't write better than that classical Chinese essay, I'll ask you to write one of the same level. Why don't you try writing it now?"

"That's true." Ming Yeqing, seeing that he had failed to curb Qin Muye's temper, simply protected and supported her. "For that perfect essay, the candidate only learned the topic on the spot, and within the limited time, they found an approach and wrote it with extremely solid classical Chinese skills. You've known the topic for nearly two months now, so I think you already knew how to approach it and have thought it through carefully."

"Of course, if not, it doesn't matter. You can think about it carefully now and write it down on the spot." Ming Yeqing pointed to the table in the middle.

The layout of the girls' dormitory is exactly the same as that of the boys' dormitory.

"The exam schedule is tight, but I can give you more time." Ming Yeqing took out his phone and glanced at it. "One hour, is that enough? If not, two hours will also be fine."

He was very confident about Tan Mo's essay.

What if I give the other party three more hours?

The other party can’t write it, they just can’t write it!

Lin Fuxi didn't expect that the other party would be so serious and asked her to write it on the spot.

She was just complaining about the preferential treatment enjoyed by candidates from City B.

What did she do wrong?

Why is the passing score in their province so much higher than that in City B?

If the score line were the same, the number of people who passed the provincial entrance examination and were admitted to prestigious universities would definitely be much higher.

Lin Fuxi lowered his head and adjusted his glasses, looking aggrieved. He whispered, "I just wanted to give it a try and see if there's any difference. You don't have to get so excited."

Qin Muye was furious. Why did the tone of this person's words make people feel so uncomfortable?

Every word and every sentence seems to be fine when taken individually.

But when it came out of Lin Fuxi's mouth, it didn't sound quite right.

etc.

Qin Muye was stunned.

Ouch!

This feeling is so fucking familiar!

She hadn't been teased by Qin Murong for many years and almost forgot about it!

She just couldn't stand the tea-making power, so she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

While Ming Yeqing hurriedly stopped her, Tan Mo held Lin Fuxi's hand and said softly, "Sister, please don't think too much. They are just like that. They are not excited at all."

Lin Fuxi held his breath, unable to go up or down.

She wanted to ask, if that’s not called excitement, then what is excitement?

But when she actually asked, she seemed excited.

This feeling of knowing the truth but being unable to refute it is so disgusting!

Also, who is your sister.

If you know who is older and who is younger, just call her sister!

Does she really look that old?!

"And that essay, indeed, even the head teacher of the examination group said it was very good. It just so happens that Professor Gu also reviewed it personally. Why don't you write one too and we'll show it to Professor Gu. If it's really good, Professor Gu will probably send it directly to provincial or even national journals for publication. In this way, wouldn't it bring honor to our Peking University?" Tan Mo excitedly shook Lin Fuxi's hand.

"I didn't expect you to be so determined, sister. I'll definitely support you. Once you finish writing, I'll go with you to see Professor Gu." Tan Mo looked around, and since it wasn't appropriate to just take someone else's paper and pen, he pulled out a brand new notebook and a pencil case from his backpack. "Come on, sister. It's a good thing there are so many of us here, and we can all testify that you wrote it all in one go, without consulting any literature or books on the spot."

Lin Fuxi: “…”

She never said she was going to write!

She just said she wanted to give it a try, but she didn't really do it.
