In a tense atmosphere, the college entrance examination is drawing to a close.
On the afternoon of June 8, Lin Xun finished the English test in just one hour, including the time he spent on the listening section; otherwise, he could have finished even faster.
As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Lin Xun was the first to rush out of the exam room.
After three years of hard work, he finally made it!
After Lin Xun rushed out, before he could even look for his parents, he was surrounded by a group of reporters, their flashes pointing directly at his face.
Hey there, how did your exams go? Are you confident you'll get into a good university?
"Student, how did you feel as the first student to rush out of the exam room?"
"..."
At this time, the school gate was still attracting a lot of attention, and many news channels were broadcasting it live. The same scene was playing out all over the country.
Lin Xun frowned, brushed aside the microphone that was almost shoved into his nose, and said, "Well, it feels alright, the chances of getting one book are still pretty good!"
"Whoosh!"
The crowd erupted in excitement, and the fans in the live stream spammed the chat with "666".
Although there are many first-tier universities, each university only admits a limited number of students. Moreover, the young man's tone was very casual, clearly indicating that he was being modest.
Ignoring the reporters surrounding him, Lin Xun craned his neck to look around, searching for his parents.
He knew that his father was usually busy carrying bricks on construction sites and his mother was washing dishes at a restaurant, so they must be very busy. But they still took time out of their busy schedules to come and watch him take the exam, which moved him deeply.
After looking around and not finding his parents, half of his joy at finishing the exam was washed away.
His eyes were somewhat dim.
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
A reporter then asked.
Lin Xun said, "My name is Lin Xun."
"Your parents must be very outstanding, right? How could they raise such an outstanding child like you?"
A barrage of microphones came flying at them again.
Looking at the cameras, Lin Xun hesitated for a moment before speaking frankly: "I'm just a kid from an ordinary family. My dad is a construction worker, and my mom is a support staff member at a restaurant. Because my family is poor, I've always studied hard so that I can get into a good university and find a good job to take care of my parents in the future."
"Clap clap clap!"
"Well said!"
"A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world! Brother, I support you!"
Everyone applauded.
At this moment, other candidates appeared one after another at the school gate, and Lin Xun's pressure was immediately relieved.
However, he was the first student to leave the exam room, and the reporters hoped to give him more screen time so they could see the reaction when the results were announced.
Just then, a black Rolls-Royce drove in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Holy crap! Who's this big shot?
"A Rolls-Royce? That's a car I could never afford even if I worked myself to death! Whose subordinate is this?"
"Could it be that a rich kid's family has come to pick him up?"
"Wow? In all these years, I've never seen such a luxury car pass by the school!"
"..."
Not only the people at the scene, but also the fans in the live broadcast room went crazy.
Lin Xun glanced at the Rolls-Royce, a hint of envy in his eyes, but he quickly turned that envy into motivation.
He'll have it someday too!
Just as Lin Xun looked away, preparing to call home to share the good news, the Rolls-Royce door suddenly opened.
The people who got out of the car from both sides were actually his father, Lin Batian, and his mother, Gu Yanyan.
Lin Xun was completely stunned!
He rubbed his eyes hard and carefully examined the two of them.
Lin Batian was wearing a burgundy suit. Although he was somewhat overweight, he was tall and imposing. His hair had been carefully styled and sprayed with hair gel, making him look like a completely different person!
Gu Yanyan was wearing a black cheongsam. She was tall and well-endowed, and her mature and steady face was covered with light makeup. She looked at least ten years younger than before!
Although it sounded absurd, Lin Xun recognized them; these were his parents!
But...but...he couldn't understand it. His family was so poor that they could only afford seafood once a month. His dad worked as a bricklayer, and his mom washed dishes. How could they be driving a luxury car?
Although Lin Xun had never seen a Rolls-Royce in real life, he had at least seen pictures of them. How much does this cost?
They could probably buy several apartments in the Happiness Community with that money, right?
Lin Xun's mother, Gu Yanyan, came running over with a big smile, opened her arms, and said to him, "Son, come here, let Mom give you a hug!"
son!
Everyone felt as if struck by lightning!
They stared at the mother and child with eyes as big as cow eggs.
No…you called him son? You're the mom he was talking about who washes dishes at the restaurant?
So, that middle-aged man is the old father you mentioned who was carrying bricks on the construction site?
A construction worker driving a Rolls-Royce?
What happened to the claim of family poverty?
What happened to the promise to repay our parents when we grow up?
At this moment, everyone felt like their brains weren't working properly.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat was filled with "Holy crap!" comments.
Holy crap! Holy crap!
"Wasn't this kid saying his family was poor? I think he's so poor he only has money left?"
"Damn it! He keeps saying he's broke, but he drives a Rolls-Royce. Is this what a hidden millionaire is like?"
"I almost believed him! Just now, the young man's words about repaying his family brought tears to my eyes! This... it was all for nothing!"
"The Joker is actually myself!"
"Who exactly is this person? Is his family really that rich?"
"Having money and being good at studying, wow, if God gave me half of that, I'd be happy to be a slacker!"
"..."
Lin Xun, the person involved, was still in a daze.
"Son, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Gu Yan Yan walked up to Lin Xun and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Lin Xun finally realized what was happening. Looking at his mother, who seemed slightly unfamiliar to him, he swallowed hard and asked, "Mom...?"
"Hey! Kid! It's me! Surprised? Excited?" Gu Yanyan gave him a hug with a smile.
Lin Batian, Lin Xun's father, strode over and patted Lin Xun on the shoulder: "How did the exam go?"
Lin Xun looked at his father, who was now standing tall and straight, and said, "Dad?"
What about that old father who hides in the kitchen every day, rubbing his back and complaining of being tired?
"Hey!" Lin Batian smiled. "My son, I am indeed your father!"
Lin Xun's lips twitched: "This... can you explain it to me?"
"Where did you get these clothes? Where did you rent these cars?"
Lin Batian and Gu Yanyan exchanged a glance. They were somewhat helpless, as it seemed their son didn't believe they were rich.
Seeing so many reporters and an increasing number of students, Lin Batian didn't want to be bothered by them, so he called out to them, "Let's go home first, we'll talk about it when we get home."
Lin Xun was still a little dazed and let Gu Yan Yan pull him into the car.
Soon, the Rolls-Royce sped away, leaving the reporters and others looking at each other in bewilderment.
