Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 285 Welcoming the College Entrance Examination
With the first person taking the lead, others followed suit, instantly attracting a large number of netizens who wanted to see just how good this highly recommended novel was.
Those who weren't interested naturally read a few chapters and then left.
Those who stayed and followed the story to the very last chapter only to discover they had been deceived.
The novel is well-written, but the updates are never timely.
I've been writing this since 2007, almost two years now, and I've only written a little over 600,000 words...
Readers who realized they had been tricked started cursing the person who lured them in every day in the comments section, only to then lure in newcomers.
This also led to... more victims.
Looking at the chaotic and disorderly comment section, Shen Xuewei gave a helpless bitter smile.
What kind of mess is this...?
If we don't explain this to the readers soon, the trolls in the comments section will probably lure even more people in.
With this in mind, Shen Xuewei took some time to update a chapter, and wrote the reason at the end, promising to try to update steadily after the college entrance examination.
After the new chapter was released, the comment section was quiet for a while, but then comments kept popping up.
Explosive Flammable Material: I thought the author was in his thirties, but it turns out he's a high school student? This is truly a case of being worse off than older and younger...
Qingfeng Wanxin: Okay, little sister Guangbiao, study hard and remember to update as soon as you finish the college entrance exam.
Rampaging Girl: Hey, Little Light, update 100 chapters for me right after the college entrance exam!
I am the Invincible Demon King: So it's time for the college entrance exam. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the author was in jail.
The remaining comments, one after another, were all wishing her success in the college entrance examination and urging her to update her writing.
Shen Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the much more harmonious comment section.
She opened the author's backend, withdrew last month's royalties into her card, and then closed the website.
Relaxing time always seems so short; it feels like just a blink of an eye before Sunday afternoon arrives.
Shen Xuewei slung her backpack over her shoulder, took the supplements she had bought for herself, and returned to school with a sigh.
The other people in the dormitory weren't in much better shape than her.
The countdown on the blackboard decreased day by day. When it finally reached single digits and marked the end of the day, almost everyone in the class had the same thought at the same time.
Oh, my sentence is finally up.
On the day before the college entrance examination, parents of students began to arrive at the school.
They offered words of advice or encouragement.
Chen Fanglan led Chen Fangli to the school gate, where Shen Xuewei met them.
When Chen Fangli saw Shen Xuewei coming over, she took Shen Xuewei's hand and said:
"Weiwei, don't be nervous about the exam tomorrow. Just take it the same way you usually do..."
Shen Xuewei noticed her trembling hands and felt both sorry for her and amused.
She has done her best to learn what she needed to learn and has used all her energy. Whatever the result, she will never regret it.
She's not nervous at all now; on the contrary, the person who told her not to be nervous is extremely nervous right now.
The person who should be comforting is now comforting Chen Fangli.
"Second Aunt, don't worry, I'm not nervous. Hmm... don't shake... Eh? Why are you shaking even more?"
Chen Fanglan, standing to the side, burst out laughing when she saw Chen Fangli's expression.
"Alright, Second Sister, everyone says Weiwei is fine. She's in a better state of mind than you are."
"Alright, we've seen the person. If there's nothing else, let's go back first. We can't disturb Weiwei."
Chen Fangli let go of her hand, glanced at Shen Xuewei's forehead which was wet with sweat, and handed her the fan from the bag.
"It's too hot today. You should fan yourself first and go back quickly, or you'll get too hot."
"Your aunt and I are leaving now. We'll come help you move your things after you finish your exams."
Shen Xuewei nodded, "Okay, then Auntie, I'll head back now."
"Go."
Shen Xuewei glanced at them again before turning and leaving.
She wasn't the only senior high school student talking to her parents at the school gate; in just a short while, Shen Xuewei saw several familiar faces.
She took a few steps, and a boy quickly passed her and ran towards the boys' dormitory building.
Shen Xuewei glanced at him and realized it was Wu Shiguo from her class.
It seems his parents came over just now, and they gave him a bottle to drink, probably some kind of supplement.
Because the college entrance examination is tomorrow, high school freshmen and sophomores have been given a holiday.
Apart from the teachers, the only other students in the school are the senior high school students.
Shen Xuewei returned to her dormitory.
The dormitory was quieter than it had been a few days ago.
After waiting in line to take a shower, Shen Xuewei waited for Ren Qinan for a while before going to the cafeteria with her.
After leaving the cafeteria, the two slowly walked towards the laboratory building.
Passing by the playground, the two strolled slowly, taking in everything on campus.
The two teaching buildings were used as examination venues for the college entrance examination. Everything in the classrooms, except for desks and chairs, was removed and placed in the corridor outside the classrooms.
The invigilators checked the classroom repeatedly before sealing it off.
Shen Xuewei and her classmates' classroom was in the laboratory building, not in the two teaching buildings, so they didn't need to pack their things for the time being.
After dinner, I went back to the classroom to review, just like before.
Ms. Miao arrived at the classroom even earlier than them, or rather, she spent the entire day in the laboratory building.
Shen Xuewei and her companion arrived at the classroom door, saw her on the podium, and called out to her.
"Hello, Teacher Miao."
Teacher Miao nodded, her expression stern yet gentle.
"Please sit down."
Shen Xuewei and her companion sat down in their seats and began reading and memorizing.
The two of them were among the first to arrive in the class, and after them, the other students gradually arrived.
Once all thirty-nine students in the class had gathered, Teacher Miao clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention.
"Alright, students, the college entrance exam starts tomorrow. During the exam, don't be nervous, just stay calm. If you encounter a question you can't answer, do the next one first, and don't get stuck on one question..."
"Also, make sure you have your stationery, ID card, and admission ticket ready, and don't bring anything you shouldn't bring in."
"Don't rush to check the answers after the exam, so as not to disrupt your thinking for the next subject. It's not too late to check the answers after all the exams are over."
...
She gave a lot of instructions, and everyone listened attentively with their hands on the table.
She looked at everyone, her tone both gentle and solemn.
Finally, I wish everyone good luck in the college entrance examination, success in the exam, and a bright future!
Ren Qinan clapped first, and then the students in the class joined in with applause.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Amidst enthusiastic applause, an untimely voice rang out.
"Old Miao, I'll never make you angry again!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Teacher Miao's eyes were also filled with laughter as she jokingly scolded:
"You'd better do well on your exam. If I ever see you at school again, I'll settle all my scores, old and new!"
"Old Miao is so domineering!"
"Old Miao is mighty!"
"Old Miao is talking badly about you behind your back, don't let her get away with it!"
On this rare day, Teacher Miao also put aside her usual strictness and revealed a comforting and lively side, laughing and joking with the students.
