Chapter 236

Did Yan Zeli also register for the college entrance examination?

This left the people of Linghou Village even more baffled.

Studying and taking the college entrance exam is quite prestigious, but in the eyes of others, the Yan family are like hermits who have never had anything to do with the mundane realities of life.

Yan Zeli has always been perceived as mysterious, powerful, and untouchable. No one would be surprised if someone said he had ascended to immortality.

But the college entrance exam?

Um, what does this have to do with Uncle Yan?

With his skills, why would he need to study?

However, apart from his wife, no one else could or had the right to interfere with what Yan Zeli was doing.

Since registering for the college entrance exam, the couple has become even more of a homebody, spending their days studying and preparing for the exam; they are practically never seen together.

No one dared to bother them casually, so they could only pester the village chief with questions.

The village chief simply replied nonchalantly, "How would I know?"

Everyone: "..."

You're the village chief and you don't even know that?

Village Chief: Hehe!

...

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes.

Before the long, cold winter had even passed, the first college entrance examination of the decade finally arrived.

Countless talented young people cheered and excitedly rushed to the examination hall.

They will emerge from the darkness and stride towards a bright future.

The examination venue for Shanglin Commune was set up in a high school in the county town.

Because of the cold weather, Yan Zeli took Wen Xin to the county town a few days earlier and rented a house there to avoid her having to travel back and forth during the exam, which would be too much for her delicate body.

On the day of the exam, Yan Zeli cooked a bowl of noodles for both of them early in the morning.

However, because Yan Zeli chose science and Wen Xin chose humanities, the two did not take the exam in the same classroom.

Yan Zeli escorted his wife to her exam room, placed her admission ticket in her pencil case, and handed her a thermos along with it. He then straightened her scarf and gently instructed her:

"Don't be nervous, just do the questions as easily as you would at home. But remember to write your admission ticket and your name."

Wen Xin was wearing a red coat, which made her delicate oval face look fair and radiant. She smiled and said, "I know, you too."

Yan Zeli gently kissed her forehead, "My wife is the best."

Wen Xin blushed slightly, her slender, jade-like fingers hooking around his palm as she whispered, "My husband too."

Yan Zeli was instantly filled with energy, and during the exam, he wrote with great enthusiasm, finishing the questions in just a few strokes.

As soon as the time was up, he handed in his paper and went to find his wife.

Then, the students taking the exam at the same school discovered that among the first batch of candidates was a couple of sullen and affectionate young people who were always showing off their love in the exam room!

Well, they didn't do anything special, but their stunning good looks and sweet atmosphere made them stand out from the other candidates.

The test-takers, driven to the brink of baldness by the exam questions, felt utterly heartbroken. How come, in the same world, with the same college entrance exam, they don't have such beautiful wives (or such handsome husbands)?

The exam lasted three days. After the exam, some students laughed heartily, while others squatted on the ground wiping away tears. It was a diverse display of student emotions.

As soon as Wen Xin stepped out of the examination room, Yan Zeli was already waiting at the door, just like in every previous session.

The man was tall and handsome, with an air of arrogance, but when she appeared, his eyes could see nothing but her, filled with tender affection.

Her eyes trembled slightly as she rushed over and hugged him, tears welling in her eyes.

In this life, she has finally taken the first step towards realizing her dream!

Yan Zeli reached out and hugged his wife back, his eyes filled with tenderness. "The exam's over, shall we go home?"

Wen Xin tiptoed and kissed his cheek, smiling sweetly, "Yan Zeli, we will always be together from now on."

They will never repeat the misfortunes of their past lives!

Yan Zeli lowered his head and bit her red lips. "Of course, and you should call your wife 'husband'!"

Wen Xin smiled sweetly and said, "I won't listen to you."

Yan Zeli sighed in a mocking tone, "My wife is indeed starting to dislike me, her old-fashioned husband."

Wen Xin couldn't help but laugh at his words. "Okay, let's go home quickly, I'm hungry."

Yan Zeli: "Yes, ma'am. Do you want me to carry you?"

Wen Xin: "No, let's go, let's go! Everyone's watching us!"

Yan Zeli didn't care, "Let them look, we're a married couple!"

Wen Xin: "..."

However, instead of immediately returning to Linghou Village, they stayed in the county town for a few more days, with Yan Zeli taking her around to play and do all sorts of shopping.

After she got tired of playing, they carried their bags back to the village.

A month later, the college entrance examination results were released, and the county magistrate personally brought the results to Linghou Village.

Their county is incredibly impressive; they produced a city-wide top scorer in science and a city-wide top scorer in humanities!

Oh, they're all in Linghou Village!

Even the county magistrate couldn't help but become extremely interested in this small village and wanted to come and see for himself what kind of beautiful mountains and rivers had nurtured such outstanding students.

However, the people of Linghou Village were even more confused than the county magistrate.

Holy crap!

Uncle Yan and his wife were both top scorers in the city!

Even the county head came, and I heard the mayor will be coming in a couple of days.

The reason for waiting two days was to wait for the provincial results to be tallied. I heard that the two top scorers in their city were very likely to be the provincial top scorers in the college entrance examination... Two days later, oh, it really was!

This is truly awesome—it's incredibly awesome!

The village chief was all smiles, praising Yan Zeli and Wen Xin incessantly.

The mayor and county head were also very excited, and the media came to interview them.

The two top scorers, however, remained calm and composed, answering the mayor and others' questions with grace and composure.

This made the mayor and the media even more optimistic about the top-scoring couple, believing that they would surely achieve great things in the future.

After several days of excitement, Linghou Village returned to its usual tranquility.

But in reality, no one could remain calm. The arrival of the mayor and the media made everyone aware of the benefits of the college entrance examination, and at the same time, they were envious of Yan Zeli and Wen Xin for winning so many scholarships.

Turns out, being good at studying can actually earn you money!

Villagers who previously didn't care much about the college entrance exam are now all planning to send their children to study hard.

What if they can also produce a top scholar? Not only will they be rich, but they will also bring glory to their family!

but……

Leaving aside Uncle Yan, let's talk about Wen Xin. Isn't she the daughter of the Wen family?

However, she never mentioned her parents once when speaking with the mayor and other high-ranking officials or when facing the media.

Of course, everyone knows how awful Wen Dafu and his wife are.

No wonder the daughter was so heartless.

Well, okay, this couple really has absolutely no self-awareness!
