Fu Shuyan felt like he was 'anything random'.

Lin Leyu smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, let's eat. Eat more, and don't stay up late tonight. We'll check the results at six tomorrow morning."

Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "So early? Isn't the results posted at nine o'clock?"

Lin Leyu said, "We need to secure a good position!"

Chen Qingshen agreed, and the two clinked glasses in tacit agreement.

Xiaoyu and Yang Yihe had nothing to say to each other.

In late August, the summer heat still lingered in Guangzhou. A large crowd gathered at the gate of the Shengxia Sports Clothing Factory's affiliated school, eagerly awaiting the red notice that would determine the fate of countless people.

Chen Qing raised her wrist and looked at her watch. The hour hand was already pointing to nine, and the dean of academic affairs still hadn't come out. She really wanted to go in and yell at him as the factory manager: "What kind of work are you doing? You're late for such an important moment!"

But she endured it.

She was afraid of making a scene and potentially driving Wenquxing away.

Chen Qing was nervous and uneasy, her face tense.

If Xiaoyu were in perfect health, perhaps she could be a little calmer.

Because the article failed.

There's also Wu supporting them.

But he lost in both literary and martial arts...

Chen Qing couldn't imagine how sad Xiao Yu would be. She stared at the notice board, sincerely hoping for the best.

"They're here! They're here!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd stirred.

The school's academic affairs director personally pasted a huge red paper on the wall, its vibrant red color catching everyone's eye.

Countless eyes greedily scanned the hundreds of names, searching for one that belonged to them or that was familiar to them.

Suddenly, an incredulous gasp exploded like a firecracker:

"Tsinghua University! Our factory has produced a Tsinghua University graduate!"

"Two! My God, two!"

"Oh, no, no, who got accepted!"

...

Chen Qing's gaze precisely locked onto the very top of the red list.

The bold black text below clearly shows two names written side by side:

He Yuting

Yang Yihe

Chen Qing closed his eyes, and only two words came to mind—gratitude.

After the people around them realized it was Xiaoyu and Yang Yihe, they all congratulated Chen Qing and Lin Leyu.

"Factory manager, you really know how to raise your daughter well!"

"Xiao Yu is only thirteen years old, a child prodigy! She's also practicing archery, she's got both academic and athletic talents!!"

"Yihe is such a promising child. She looks so quiet and gentle, but she's truly a talented young woman!"

"This is incredible! This is incredible! Our school has produced two students who got into Tsinghua University. Our Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory is going to become famous again."

...

Hearing the congratulatory messages, Chen Qing thanked them profusely.

Yang Yihe stared blankly at the names on the list. Even though she had guesses and confidence, she still couldn't suppress her excitement when she saw that she could actually go to study at a school that students all over the country longed for. She subconsciously lowered her head, trying to hide the tears that instantly filled her eyes.

Compared to Xiaohe's reserved demeanor, Xiaoyu jumped up like a bird the moment her name was confirmed, grabbed Xiaohe's arm, and cheered without any restraint, "Xiaohe, we passed the exam! We really passed! We can continue to be classmates!"

Chen Qing looked at Xiao Yu through the crowd.

Her eyes were bright and lively, sparkling with life, revealing the innocence and youthful beauty and purity of a young girl.

Chen Qing's eyes curved slightly, and she was in a great mood!

More and more people came to check out the list and join in the fun. Chen Qing and Xiao Yu went home first, and Yang Yihe and Lin Leyu went home as well.

Chen Qing couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yu, you are really too outstanding. When I saw the list, I was thinking, how come my family has such an outstanding child?"

“I don’t care that Auntie raised me well, Auntie just raised me well.” Xiaoyu took her aunt’s arm and saw that her eyes were red. She smiled and said, “Auntie, I’m actually very happy too, especially since I can finally be your pride.”

Chen Qing touched her hair, then turned his face to wipe away his tears.

Xiao Yu said with a grin, "Our Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory is so famous, who knows, a reporter might interview me later. Auntie, you need to prepare an interview article, just say how you educated me."

Chen Qing was amused: "Then I'll definitely dress up in my finest clothes!!"

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, then stretched out her hand and counted on her fingers, saying, "For example, my aunt always praises me. My aunt gives me a lot of confidence and the courage to face many things. She doesn't discipline me, but guides me. Most importantly, my aunt sets a good example by herself and shows me what a shining woman is like."

Chen Qing was dazed: "Did I really do that?"

Xiao Yu said confidently, "You have it! You're the best aunt in the world!"

Tears welled up in Chen Qing's eyes as he gently stroked her hair. Thinking about her health problems, he felt not extreme joy, but only extreme guilt.

No one was home. The two aunts had gone home, and Pingping and Youyou were not home either. Chen Qing had asked Fu Shuyan to take them to his aunt's house.

Xiaoyu returned home, eager to share the wonderful news of her becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination with her younger siblings, only to find them missing: "Auntie, why did Pingping and Youyou go out today?"

"I asked Fu Shuyan to take them away." Chen Qing led her to the study.

It is truly unethical to tell a child bad news right after their grades have been released.

But Xiaoyu already has a training session scheduled for tomorrow, so it can't be delayed any longer.

Chen Qing had no choice but to tell her all about her health problems.

Xiao Yu listened quietly, her round almond-shaped eyes showing no fear or apprehension, and said very calmly, "Auntie, I don't think the person you found is reliable."

Chen Qing: "???"

He's a master!

The personal physician of many high-ranking leaders!

It can be used to understand astronomy and fortune telling.

He could even challenge the King of Hell.

Isn't that impressive enough?

Xiaoyu analyzed for her: "He predicted that I would die when I was four years old, but I am almost fourteen now. First of all, his fortune telling is inaccurate. Secondly, as far as I know, there are also athletes abroad who were born prematurely. Also, fertility is very important, but in this whole thing, the most damaged thing is fertility. I can accept the worst outcome. I love children, and I can also accept raising other people's children. Maybe I can become the director of an orphanage. That way, I can raise many, many children. This is something to be happy about."

Chen Qing said coldly, "Did you already know this?"

Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then told the truth: "It doesn't really count. I can feel the resistance in my body when I have my period, but I can get through it with willpower."

Chen Qing frowned deeply: "Then why were you so calm when I told you that you had health problems?"

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "I'm an athlete. Athletes can't give up. Our country hasn't won a gold medal yet. If I have no hope, then so be it. But I have hope. I want to show the whole world how amazing our country is! Auntie, I promise you I'll train for a few more years and participate in the Olympics in 1984. But during these years, I can't stop training while studying."

She is an athlete.

They are athletes trained by the state.

She has responsibilities to bear. (End of Chapter)
