Chapter 243 Who is the Top Scholar: Calm and Composed "Sister Wu"

The journey took more than ten hours.

Pei Jinwu's back ached from sitting so long, and she was almost numb, too tired to move.

at last.

It was Shang Shiyan who carried the person to the car.

On the way back.

Pei Jinwu tapped on her constantly ringing phone.

In the group chat she shared with Xu Qingye and a few others, there were over a thousand chat records.

Pei Jinwu was too lazy to look through it, but he could guess the gist of it from the final statement.

The exam results will be officially released tonight.

Half a month has passed without me even realizing it?

Time flies.

It's only a few days until Shang Shiyan's birthday, isn't it?

Xu Qingye: "Does anyone in my family understand? My dad has prepared two things for my grades."

"???"

Wen Jianjian, Zhao Qianqian, and Tang Yuan all raised question marks.

Xu Qingye: "A new car key and a stick thicker than my hand."

If he does well on the test, he'll be rewarded with a car key; if he fails... his dad is definitely capable of breaking his legs.

Xu Qingye: "This is agonizing! How are there still two hours left?"

Zhao Qianqian: "Stop shouting. I wasn't nervous at first, but you've made me nervous."

Tang Yuan and Wen Jianjian didn't dare to make a sound and quietly refreshed the screen.

They were afraid that, like before, the score inquiry channel would be opened suddenly ahead of schedule.

Xu Qingye: "Where's my sister Wu? She doesn't seem worried about her grades at all."

Wen Jianjian: "?"

Zhao Qianqian: "?"

Tang Yuan: "?"

Is getting high scores something that top students should worry about?

The top universities should be the ones worried, right?

I wonder which school Jinwu will choose!

After chatting for a while, Pei Jinwu casually put her phone down and habitually leaned into Shang Shiyan's arms.

"Go to sleep."

The man gently covered her with a blanket, gazing tenderly at the little girl who was sleeping soundly.

but……

He was genuinely curious about how many points the girl scored.

I'm home.

Pei Jinwu lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

"..."

Shang Shiyan glanced at the time; there was less than half an hour until the scores were released.

That's enough.

It'll be the same if I check again when I wake up tomorrow.

——

I had a good night's sleep.

When Pei Jinwu woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Shang Shiyan was nowhere to be seen in the room.

I only remembered to check my phone after I finished washing up.

Just turned it on.

Countless messages and missed call notifications bombarded me like cannonballs.

Xu Qingye was like a madman; he was the one who talked the most.

Pei Jinwu frowned and looked through the chat history.

oh.

The scores are out.

It was about what she had predicted.

Xu Qingye scored 489, which is enough to get into a second-tier university.

Wen Jianjian703.

Zhao Qianqian 699.

Tang Yuan 580.

Unable to reach her all night, Pei Jinwu sent a message to the group chat: "?".

Xu Qingye: "Dad, you're finally online! We were all so worried because we couldn't get through to you on the phone!"

I was afraid she had done poorly on the exam and was feeling down.

Xu Qingye: "Luckily, Wen Jianjian secretly peeked last night and saw Mr. Shang carrying you back. Cough cough, I hope I didn't disturb you two?"

Zhao Qianqian: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xu Qingye: "I said I was taking a break, what are you thinking?"

Zhao Qianqian's cheeks flushed slightly.

Wen Jianjian: "Cousin, how did your exam go?"

Pei Jinwu: "We haven't investigated yet. Let's talk about it after breakfast."

Haven't you checked yet?

Upon seeing this sentence, the four silently gave a thumbs up.

Calm and collected as I am, "Sister Wu".

"Good morning, Miss Pei." As Pei Jinwu came down to the living room, Wang Ma immediately greeted her with a beaming smile: "The breakfast is still warm."

"Wang Ma, you go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of this."

Shang Shiyan didn't go to the company. He put down his computer, got up, and walked to the opposite side of Pei Jinwu.

After sitting down, he slowly peeled an egg for her and asked softly, "Aren't you going to check your score?"

"check."

Pei Jinwu took the egg, took a big bite, and replied vaguely, "I forgot where I put my exam admission ticket, I have to look for it."

She was so hungry.

You need to fill your stomach before you can do anything else.

"Okay." Shang Shiyan smiled faintly, not urging her, and ladled a bowl of porridge to place beside her. "Have you decided which school you want to attend?"

"Anything is fine."

Pei Jinwu ate her porridge and said casually, "Whichever school calls first, that's the school I'll attend."

Opening blind boxes, huh?

Shang Shiyan smiled helplessly; he had never seen such a calm examinee.

Ten minutes later.

After Pei Jinwu finished breakfast, Shang Shiyan found her exam admission ticket for her.

"I'm too lazy to move, you look it up for me." The girl raised her eyes slightly and continued eating her fruit.

"OK."

Shang Shiyan smiled, turned on her computer, and entered her exam information.

She was probably the last to query, and the system worked perfectly.

Click to query.

The score page popped up quickly.

"..."

Looking at the screen, Shang Shiyan's lips curled up slightly.

"Let me guess what happened..." Pei Jinwu said, raising an eyebrow as she ate watermelon, "The score was blocked."

To prevent the hype surrounding top scorers and ensure that high scores rank highly, the exact scores of test takers are masked.

"Um."

As expected, Shang Shiyan wasn't too surprised and chuckled, "Then let's wait and see which school calls first."

The founders of the school must be incredibly proud of themselves for being able to recruit young girls as students.

at the same time.

After the scores were released, everyone online was speculating about which school this year's top scorer would attend.

As is customary, the most correct guesses come from the guessing game.

The most talked-about character online is "Shen Yunrou" from the Imperial Academy.

It is said that she checked the answers immediately after the exam and had a very high accuracy rate, with an estimated score of at least 730.

Furthermore, with her score being masked, her chances of becoming the top scorer are even greater.

soon.

The news spread like wildfire.

Shen Yunrou has always been a flamboyant person, so how could she let go of this opportunity to show off?

I specifically chose a place with a lot of foot traffic to have coffee while waiting for the admissions office to come to my door.

Even if he wasn't the top scorer, he was definitely among the top few.

Even if it turns out she wasn't the top scorer, she wouldn't lose face.

so.

She was eager to seize any opportunity to shine, hoping to make up for the damage Pei Jinwu had done to her reputation.

——

Xu Qingye did well on the exam and insisted on treating everyone to a meal.

Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Pei Jinwu didn't refuse.

Go to the mall according to the address.

What a coincidence!

I happened to run into a reporter interviewing Shen Yunrou and asking her how she studied.

"I didn't really prepare much, it mainly depends on talent..." Shen Yunrou replied shyly.

“Strong sister.” Xu Qingye rolled her eyes. “I heard that Shen Yunrou hired a lot of tutors for private lessons in the period leading up to the exam.”

"Is there no one left in the Imperial Academy? How could Shen Yunrou be the top scholar?" Zhao Qianqian rested her chin on her hand, unable to believe it. "It can't be real!"

"It can't be hers!" Wen Jianjian said firmly, biting her straw.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the girl who was on the phone.

"Just come over here." Pei Jinwu gave her address.

Who is it?

Wen Jianjian asked in confusion,

"It's from the admissions office, right?" Pei Jinwu said casually while eating a snack. "They say it's Imperial University, and it's some kind of genius program."

A genius program?

Upon hearing these words, everyone turned to look at her.

Imperial University is the best university in the country.

The gifted program is an even more important subject.

The admission score is extremely high; it's said that all the students admitted are close to perfect scores.

The scores are released each time.

The admissions officers at Imperial College London had to first recruit students for their "gifted program".

"Insider information: the teachers from the Imperial University's Genius Program are in the coffee shop," one of the reporters said.

"Could it be that they've come to see Shen Yunrou?"

"Of course, who else is here besides her?" the reporter said, slightly excited.

No one noticed Pei Jinwu and the others sitting in the corner.

A genius program?

Even if I'm not the top scorer, I can at least get into Imperial University.

The gifted program was something she never dared to dream of.

Could it be that I guessed correctly?

Is she really the top scorer in the college entrance examination?

good evening.
