Shen Jingyan put the meat pie aside, glanced at the mysterious piece of paper, and said confidently, "Is this my report card?"

Gu Zhiyun was once again impressed by Shen Jingyan's intelligence.

"The postman just delivered it to the forest farm this morning."

"Let me see how you did on the test!"

Chen Jingyan grabbed the report card.

Her scores in each subject were roughly as she had estimated; out of a total score of 600, she scored 588.

Such a high score would be among the top in the entire county.

Gu Zhiyun laughed and said, "You did alright, but you're still a bit worse than I was back then. I got full marks in four subjects back then."

Shen Jingyan smiled secretly. Gu Zhiyun was a low-key and aloof person. He could remain calm and composed even when others praised him to the skies. But in front of her, he would show off even the smallest things.

He looks like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers.

In fact, Shen Jingyan was perfectly capable of getting full marks in every subject; she deliberately wrote a few questions wrong during the exam.

If she had gotten a perfect score, it would have made her seem too amazing, so to avoid suspicion, she went easy on her.

To satisfy Gu Zhiyun's desire to show off, Shen Jingyan said with great admiration, "Brother Yun, you are amazing. If it weren't for your good tutoring, I wouldn't have been able to get such a high score."

Gu Zhiyun started the truck and said to her in a serious tone, "Jingya, your junior high school graduation certificate should be ready soon. There are less than six months left until the college entrance examination. During this time, you should not come to town to do business. Focus on your studies."

Shen Jingyan praised him without reservation: "With Teacher Gu's guidance, I'll definitely learn high school knowledge very quickly!"

Upon hearing the words "Teacher Gu," Gu Zhiyun tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and the prominent Adam's apple on his long neck bobbed a few times.

The moment the little girl called him "Teacher Gu," a certain desire within him seemed to be awakened, giving rise to countless erotic thoughts in his mind.

As he drove, he kept glancing at the girl out of the corner of his eye, his gaze lingering on her fair face and rosy lips.

He remained silent, oblivious to everything, as he ate the meat pie in large mouthfuls.

She had no idea that Gu Zhiyun had already considered countless ideas in order to gain more advantages.

As soon as Shen Yulan got into the back of the truck, she saw Yang Zinuo sitting inside, holding a notebook and concentrating on reciting.

Hearing the noise, Yang Zinuo looked up and smiled: "You've been relegated to the back too?"

Shen Yulan knew Yang Zinuo. Since he came to the forest farm, he and Gu Zhiyun had been inseparable. The two were both about 1.85 meters tall, and when they walked together, they looked like two pillars supporting the sky, leaving a very deep impression on people.

However, Shen Yulan wasn't very familiar with him, so she smiled shyly.

The aroma of the meat pie made Yang Zinuo's mind wander while he was reading. Seeing this, Shen Yulan quickly gave him three pieces of meat pie.

Yang Zinuo had barely spoken to Shen Yulan and felt a little embarrassed. If it were Shen Jingyan, she would have tried to take it from him if he didn't give it to her.

"This was bought by Xiao Gu. He bought ten yuan's worth, and he specifically said he was saving these three for you, otherwise how could I finish them all by myself?"

Shen Yulan said understandingly.

Upon hearing that Gu Zhiyun had bought it, Yang Zinuo didn't stand on ceremony and took it to eat.

He has a rather easygoing and carefree personality. Once there was food, he became very sociable and started chatting with Shen Yulan.

"I heard you and Jingya went to Wanshan County to ask for the money back. Did you get it back?"

Shen Yulan nodded softly, "They're coming back, not a penny less, all thanks to Jingya."

Yang Zinuo nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Jingya is the best at dealing with this kind of person. She's smart, independent, and a good cook. Old Gu is really lucky."

Shen Yulan smiled and said, "They are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful."

"Jingya has already passed her junior high school graduation exam with a score of 588. I estimate she'll be in the top five in the county."

Yang Zinuo devoured the three meat pies in a flash, and even licked his fingers with lingering satisfaction.

Shen Yulan said with relief, "That's great. I heard from Jingya that she's planning to take the college entrance exam with Xiao Gu."

Yang Zinuo picked up her notebook again: "You can take the test too!"

"Me? I didn't even finish junior high..."

"So what? Jingya didn't finish junior high school either, but she still got high marks and passed her junior high graduation exam."

Yang Zinuo said, "The junior high school graduation certificate is easy to obtain. If you study hard, you will definitely pass next year!"

Shen Yulan lowered her head somewhat self-consciously: "What good is passing the exam? I'm already over twenty, and I've been married before..."

Yang Zinuo shook his head dismissively and continued to encourage, "As long as you want to learn and improve, age is not a problem! Among the educated youth in our batch taking the college entrance examination, there are many older than you! There is a guy in the forest farm who is already twenty-five this year! I also heard that some educated youth are over thirty years old, have several children, and are still actively preparing for the exam!"

These words gave Shen Yulan tremendous encouragement, and her watery eyes lit up: "Really?"

"It's true! There's no age limit for taking the college entrance exam. Anyone who has graduated from junior high school can participate!"

Yang Zinuo said, "You can have Jingya give you your junior high school study materials, and then have Professor Xu tutor you. That should work! You look smart, you'll definitely pass the exam!"
