Lin Shixuan stared at the last name on the list, feeling like he wanted to die.
how so?
It really was last place.
139 people.
He actually lost to everyone.
How is that possible?
Zou Shuang'er is very concerned about her reputation. She had been boasting for a long time that her son was among the top students, but now that it has been confirmed that he is in last place, she can't contain herself anymore.
"Shixuan, didn't you say you were done answering?"
"How could you be last?"
Zou Wanqing also saw the name on the list and confirmed that it was the last one. In her heart, she cursed Lin Shixuan to the bone.
idiot.
You're given thousands of years of knowledge, and you still got this score?
Lin Shiming said, "Big brother, aren't you supposed to be very good? How come you did so poorly on the exam this time?"
"That's right, you've completely disgraced your mother!" Zou Shuang'er stood to the side cursing, her usual fawning attitude towards Lin Shixuan nowhere to be seen.
Lin Shixuan was very agitated and forced himself to suppress his anger.
These days, he gets easily angered if provoked, and once he gets angry, he can't control himself.
Therefore, he always tried his best to be patient.
"Enough, stop talking, aren't you all annoying?"
Zou Shuang'er opened her mouth, but in the end she closed it.
Zou Wanqing wanted to continue complaining, but seeing that Lin Shixuan's expression wasn't good, she didn't dare to say too much.
Lin Rui'an pulled Ye Lanyin through the crowd.
He said calmly, "Mother, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Silly child, you are your mother's son, it is only right for your mother to do things for you."
Zou Shuang'er heard a familiar voice behind her and turned around abruptly.
When she met Ye Lanyin's gaze, she gave a mocking smile.
"Hey, you're here to see the results?"
Lin Rui'an shielded Ye Lanyin to one side and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
"Lin Rui'an, do you still expect your name to be on that list?"
"Stop dreaming. You've only been in school for a little over half a year. What kind of achievements can you possibly make?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin's face instantly fell.
"Zou Shuang'er, will you die if you don't show off for a day?"
"Ye Lanyin, strength speaks volumes at the entrance of the examination hall. You get all worked up over a few words from others. What kind of future do you think your son will achieve?"
Ye Lanyin wanted to say something, but Lin Rui'an helped her up.
Lin Rui'an's narrow eyes revealed a coldness.
"Madam Zou is a skilled mother; did her son come in first or second place?"
When Zou Shuang'er was asked this, she sneered, "What does it matter what rank you are? Your name won't be on this list. You should go back and study harder before taking the exam again."
"Maybe in three years your name will be at the very bottom of the list."
"Really?" Lin Rui'an raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shixuan. "What, hiding behind your mother, afraid to answer?"
Lin Shixuan pushed Zou Shuang'er away and looked directly into Lin Rui'an's cold eyes.
“Who said I didn’t dare to answer?” Lin Shixuan glanced at the east wall and raised his chin. “This time, I underperformed and ranked 139th.”
"So what if you're ranked 139th? You're still my defeated opponent!"
Their eyes met intensely in mid-air, and Lin Rui'an chuckled softly.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time, you defeated opponent!"
After saying that, he helped Ye Lanyin and brushed past the two of them.
"Hey hey hey, big brother, let's go home and celebrate."
Lin Chang'an ran to Lin Rui'an's side and helped Ye Lanyin happily walk towards the carriage.
Once their voices faded into the distance, Zou Shuang'er and Lin Shixuan finally came to their senses and hurriedly turned back to walk towards the east wall.
The two quickly searched for Lin Rui'an's name on the east wall.
Someone shouted:
"Wow, Lin Rui'an is actually ranked 138th, one place ahead of Lin Shixuan."
"Let me see, let me see, where is it, where is it?"
“It’s over there.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shixuan's gaze quickly settled on the area next to his own name.
Sure enough, it had the three characters 'Lin Rui'an' written on it.
How come he didn't see it just now?
Lin Rui'an actually ranked higher than me?
Why did it have to be the person in front of me?!
"Ahhh..." He stood there roaring, scaring the surrounding people away from him.
"Has he gone mad?"
"So what if you came in last place? What's there to be sad about?"
"Yeah, there are still people who didn't pass the exam. Who do they think they are? Honestly!"
And Ye Lanyin's family.
They returned to Ping'an Prefecture happily.
Prepare dinner so the whole family can have a good celebration.
"Huaxin, go to the General's Mansion later and invite your parents over. Tell them we'll have a good time tonight."
She was overjoyed; all the hard work her son had done over the past six months had been worth it.
Seeing his mother so happy, Lin Rui'an felt extremely gratified.
He finally passed the exam.
The Regent patted Lin Rui'an on the shoulder, his meaning clear without words.
"Your Majesty, please stay and dine with us tonight."
The regent was flattered and overwhelmed upon hearing this.
He repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
It seems that the carriage we used today was the right choice.
Ye Lanyin didn't know which deity had granted her favor, but she immediately took out a bag of silver and had her maid deliver it to Chanfeng Temple.
Looking at her mother, who was no exaggeration, Lin Wanwan was overjoyed.
"Good, good, good! My older brother has really made something of himself."
Lin Shixuan is doomed; he'll definitely get scolded when he gets back, hahaha...
The piercing sound entered their heads, making them almost lose their footing.
My sister is great in every way, except she loves to scare people.
Meanwhile, the three beauties of Bianjing, having learned of the news, also set off from their residences one after another.
