That night, everyone knew that Shi Jin was going to take the college entrance examination.
Gua Er saw that Shi Jin was looking pale, and comforted him with the attitude of an experienced person: "It's just a small test, don't be afraid, two days and four subjects, it will be finished in a short time, it's very easy." Shi
Jin looked at him expressionlessly and asked: "Have you taken the exam?"
"I have taken it." Gua Er answered, pointing to Gua Jiu who was sitting on the side typing on the computer, and explained in detail, "Except for Gua Jiu who went to study abroad, our group who grew up with Jun Shao in Mie all took the college entrance examination in China and obtained domestic diplomas." Shi
Jin immediately perked up and asked: "Have you all taken it? Do you have student status? What should you do after you are admitted to the university? Go to class for four years in an orderly manner?" The latter question is the key point!
"How can I take the exam without a student status? Xiao Jinjin, there is a common sense you may need to know. The names of Gua Yi and Gua Er are just the organization codes and the identities of everyone in the underworld. Everyone, including me, has their own original names and identities. Our student status and academic qualifications are all linked to our real names. When we leave this business, we will all go back to be our true selves." Gua Er explained, raised his arm and put it on his shoulder, patting him on the shoulder, "So you still have to take the exam well, it's about your future, Jun Shao asked you to take the exam for your own good. And judging from the current situation in the underworld, after you are admitted to university, you will most likely be like us back then, registering at the beginning of the semester, taking exams at the end of the semester, and taking classes with teachers in the organization when you are free. You don't need to go to school every day, it's very free, and it's no different from now, so it won't hinder you from accompanying Jun Shao."
"But you'd better not fail the exam. If you really fail, Jun Shao will force you to take a month off so that you can retake the course." Gua Jiu added, and glanced at Gua Er.
Gua Er's eyebrows jumped, and he waved his fist at him threateningly.
It may not prevent you from accompanying Jun Shao. Shi
Jin's attention was completely focused on this sentence. His resistance to the exam disappeared in an instant, and a spark of hope lit up in his eyes again - it turned out that he didn't need to leave Lian Jun's side to go to class every day, and he just needed to register as a student?
Then just take the college entrance examination, it doesn't matter.
His eyebrows and eyes flew up again, and he asked Gua Er casually: "I didn't expect that you also took the college entrance examination. How many points did you take?"
Seeing that he was no longer stern, Gua Er also smiled and replied: "It seems to be just over 600... I took the national test. Oh, don't mention it. I had bad luck that year when I took the exam. The math test was particularly difficult and it gave me a headache."
Just over... 600?
Just over? ? ?
Shi Jin's raised eyebrows fell again, and he looked at Gua Er in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that Gua Er was also a top student in his past. He silently shook his hand away and looked at Gua Jiu.
Gua Jiu thought he wanted to know about everyone's exam situation and learn from their experience to make himself feel at ease. Seeing him looking at him, he immediately replied honestly: "I did not take the college entrance examination in China. There is no compulsory college entrance examination system hosted by the government abroad. There are only two kinds of examinations organized by the private sector. I took part in both, and the scores are..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand." Shi Jin interrupted him quickly, thinking of his doctoral degree and his own test scores. He relied on perseverance to stabilize his heart of being a poor student. He stood up and said, "I'm going to prepare for the exam, you guys are busy." After that, he floated away without looking back.
After that, Shi Jin asked about the college entrance examination scores of several other Gua in a roundabout way, and the result was very heartbreaking - none of these capable generals under Lian Jun were bad students! The worst Gua Wu was admitted to a key university!
"We are all in society, why is there such a big difference..." Shi Jinsheng slumped on the sofa with no desire, looking at his recent test scores, feeling very bitter, "If I had known that there would be an exam, I would definitely study harder in the past few months..."
Xiao Si said, "But Jinjin, you are obviously very serious. You can get this score in just a few months of review. You are already very good."
"No, you don't understand." Shi Jin was very sad, holding the tablet and wanted to cry but no tears came out.
For some things, there is really no harm without comparison. He, a poor student, took the exam under the watch of a group of top students. In the future, he might even check his grades and apply for a school under the watch of a group of top students... What's the difference between this and public execution! Is he shameless?
Although he is generous, he also has to save face!
In order not to be publicly executed too badly, Shi Jin began to cram, the kind of cram that is very serious and hard.
That night, he held the tablet and reviewed until midnight. If Lian Jun hadn't forced him to go to bed, he probably could have stayed up all night. The whole next day, he still held the tablet tightly, and asked Xiao Si to help him re-screen a set of knowledge points that are easier to remember, and memorized them all day. After dinner, he picked up the tablet again and buried his head in doing the questions. He didn't mean to put down the pen until bedtime.
Lian Jun couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and took the tablet from his hand, and forced him onto the bed.
"Have a good rest today, it's just a small test, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't do well." Lian Jun soothed him slowly, regretting a little that he had told Shi Jin about the test in advance.
If he had known that Shi Jin would be so nervous and concerned, he should have taken Shi Jin to the test room directly on the day of the test, so that Shi Jin wouldn't have to go through this pre-test torture.
Shi Jin couldn't sleep, but seeing Lian Jun's slightly frowned brows and worried look on his face, he didn't insist anymore, nodded, and obediently closed his eyes... and then let Xiao Si retrieve the review materials for him in his mind.
Xiao Si: “…” Shi
Jin couldn’t remember what time he fell asleep during reviewing. He only knew that he had been doing papers in his dream, one after another, as if there would never be an end. When he woke up, he felt dizzy and his body was extremely uncomfortable, as if he had been doing countless papers. Shi Jin
was dying, frowning and rubbing his forehead: "It's over, I'm afraid I'll fail the exam in this state."
Xiao Si was full of confidence in him and said: "No, Jin Jin, you will definitely perform exceptionally well and get a good score. I believe in you!"
Shi Jin felt warm in his heart and was very moved: "Xiao Si, you are such a good system."
Xiao Si was very shy: "No, it's you who taught me well."
After chatting with Xiao Si for a few words, Shi Jin was a little more energetic. After washing up, he went to the restaurant with Lian Jun to have breakfast, then took the exam bag that Lian Jun handed over, and left the club with Lian Jun.
"Xiao Jin."
Just as he stepped out of the door, a familiar voice sounded not far in front of him.
Shi Jin stopped, his eyebrows jumped uncertainly, and he looked up at the place where the sound came from.
Outside the gate at night, next to a low-profile black commercial vehicle, Shi Weichong, wearing a white shirt and looking like an elite boss, was standing there like a wooden stake. When Shi Jin looked over, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I heard from Lao Er that you went back to City B and were injured. I happened to be free today, so I came to see you. How are your injuries?"
"..." Why did you come today instead of earlier? City B is really a troublesome place!
Shi Jin hid the exam bag behind him, smiled politely, and replied, "My injury has healed, thank you for your concern."
Lian Jun noticed Shi Jin hiding the exam bag, tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his finger, and signaled Gua Er behind him to drive the car out, without interrupting the conversation between Shi Jin and Shi Weichong.
Shi Wei Chong was choked by Shi Jin's distant and polite attitude. He instinctively glanced at Lian Jun beside Shi Jin, and frowned when he remembered his relationship with Shi Jin. Just as he was about to look away, he noticed the test bag in Shi Jin's hand with only a corner exposed. He thought that thing seemed a little familiar, just like what he saw many students holding along the way today. He was stunned at first, and then he remembered the various traffic control and college entrance examination on the road. Seeing the slogan, Shi Jin suddenly had an idea and asked, "Xiao Jin, are you going out?" Shi
Jin's heart tightened and he replied vaguely, "Ah? Ah, yes, something happened."
Shi Weichong saw his expression and became more certain of his guess. He took out his mobile phone to check the date, and then looked at the thing in Shi Jin's hand that only a corner of it was exposed, which looked like an examination bag, and asked, "Xiao Jin, are you going to take the college entrance examination?"
Shi Jin: "..." He hated smart people!
His hand holding the examination bag froze, and he could no longer maintain the polite smile on his face. Seeing Guaer driving the car out, he hurriedly pushed Lian Jun's wheelchair and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I have to leave, bye." After that, he pushed the person away without looking back.
Shi Weichong was unable to stop them, and watched helplessly as Shi Jin and Lian Jun got into the car and disappeared from sight. He came to his senses belatedly, checked the time, and hurried back to his car. While starting the car, he called his assistant and canceled the next trip.
...
The car got on the main road and drove towards the examination center.
Gua Er glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Shi Weichong is following us, do you want to get rid of him?"
Lian Jun glanced at Shi Jin, who was holding a tablet and concentrating on studying, and replied, "No, drive steadily. It's easy to get carsick if you drive fast and slow."
Gua Er responded and ignored Shi Weichong who was following behind.
After Shi Jin got in the car, he put Shi Weichong out of his mind and concentrated on reviewing the first ancient poetry filling-in-the-blank question that he would most likely be tested on. He used his mobile phone and computer too much, and it was easy for him to forget words when he picked up a pen. Now that the exam has not started yet, he wants to catch up and familiarize himself with it.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped near the examination room. Shi Jin put down the tablet, looked at the students, teachers and parents gathered outside the examination room, and said to Lian Jun: "You stay in the car, I'll go there by myself. There are too many people outside, it's not safe."
Lian Jun also knew that with his status, going to a crowded place casually would be courting death, so he nodded, held his hand and squeezed it, and said: "Let Gua Er accompany you there, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I'll wait for you outside."
"I understand." Shi Jin leaned over and hugged him, said hello to Gua Wu who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and then got out of the car with Gua Er.
Shi Weichong, who was following behind them, got out of the car immediately upon seeing this and followed them. He walked up to Shi Jin without treating himself as an outsider at all, and said with a frown: "Why do you suddenly want to take the college entrance examination? You studied abroad before, so you should actually take the exam abroad."
Shi Jin really didn't know what expression to use to face him, and replied perfunctorily: "I just want to take an exam and apply to a university to get a diploma. I don't have any big pursuits. It's too troublesome to apply to a school with a foreign exam, and I don't want to do it."
"But you haven't been to school for almost a year, and you are not familiar with the domestic teaching system. If you take the exam now, your results may not be ideal." Shi Weichong's brows wrinkled more and more as he spoke. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Jin, if you still want to go to school, I can get you a recommendation quota so that you can skip the college entrance examination directly."
It's great to be rich.
Shi Jin was very touched, but then he refused cruelly, saying, "No, Jun Shaoyou arranged a teacher to tutor me. I want to rely on my own ability to get into the university I want to go to." Then he stayed beside Lian Jun and waited for death.
"Pfft." Gua Er laughed out loud without giving him face. Shi Jin
gave him a look.
Gua Er raised his hand to surrender and said to Shi Weichong, "Mr. Shi, please stop talking. Candidates are already under a lot of pressure. If you continue, I'm afraid Shi Jin's mentality will collapse. He was reviewing in the car, you can see how nervous he is, please understand."
This sounded polite, but in fact he was complaining that Shi Weichong's words were not pleasant to listen to, and wanted Shi Weichong to shut up.
Shi Wei Chong looked at Gua Er, then at Shi Jin, and saw that Shi Jin still had a thin layer of dark circles under his eyes. He gave up the idea of continuing to persuade him, and said instead: "Don't be nervous about the exam. It doesn't matter if you don't do well. Studying is not the only way out." Shi Jin
was helpless. Why did everyone tell him that it didn't matter if he didn't do well in the exam, as if he would definitely do poorly.
It must be said that sometimes candidates will have a psychological collapse, not because the candidates have poor psychological quality, but because the psychological hints given to the candidates by the people around them are too heavy, forcing the candidates to be under great pressure.
The three walked to the entrance of the examination room and waited for the exam to begin.
Because of his personality and the experience of this year, Shi Jin looked calmer than his peers. He stood among a group of young students with his exam bag, which seemed very abrupt. In addition, he was followed by two tall, mature men instead of his parents, so he suddenly became as conspicuous as a crane standing out among a flock of chickens.
As soon as they walked over, the eyes of the people around them all focused on them, and their movements were very consistent, as if they were looking at a monkey.
Shi Jin: "..." He really wanted to throw Gua Er and Shi Weichong out.
Because of his profession, Gua Er really didn't like being the focus of the crowd, but he had no idea in his mind and didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He just thought that if only he and Shi Jin were standing here, they would definitely not attract so much attention. It was all because of the follower Shi Weichong.
"Well, I see that other candidates are holding water in their hands. Why don't you go buy a bottle for Shi Jin?" Gua Er tactfully drove him away.
Shi Wei Chong frowned, looked at Shi Jin, then looked at the things in the hands of other candidates and their parents, and actually turned around to buy water. Shi Jin
turned his head to look at Gua Er.
Gua Er explained seriously: "Shi Wei Chong is often on the financial news, and he is a celebrity. If you stand with him, you may be photographed at any time, so it is better to let him leave at the right time."
"I believe it." Shi Jin said expressionlessly.
Gua Er smiled warmly: "Thank you for your trust."
While the two were talking, Shi Weichong had already returned from buying water. He carefully tore off all the plastic packaging on the mineral water, handed the clean bottle of water to Shi Jin, and said: "I saw that other people did this. Here, I didn't buy you a drink. I feel that water is more thirst-quenching."
"Thank you." Shi Jin took the water, glanced at the plastic packaging in Shi Weichong's hand, and wanted to sigh.
Why bother? Shi Weichong actually doesn't need to do this at all.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Shi Weichong suddenly said, "You don't have to feel burdened. I just did what I wanted to do. Just take the exam well and don't think too much." Shi Jin
didn't respond and faced his kindness with silence.
The door of the examination room opened on time. Shi Jin said goodbye to Gua Er and Shi Weichong, entered the examination room with his exam bag and water, and found his exam room and seat according to the number on his admission ticket. After sitting down and putting his things away, he forced himself to draw his attention back to the exam.
When the time was up, the invigilator began to distribute the papers.
Xiao Si took the opportunity to give Shi Jin a lot of messy buffs such as "refreshed", "get twice the result with half the effort", "possessed by the exam god", "the thoughts of a top student", etc., in order to help Shi Jin reduce the difficulty of the exam.
Shi Jin was completely unaware. After receiving the test paper, he began to fill in the candidate information as usual. He inexplicably felt that writing today was particularly smooth, and he filled in the information unconsciously. Then he moved his eyes to the questions and continued to do them smoothly unconsciously.
When you concentrate on doing things, time always passes especially quickly.
When Shi Jin finished the last big question and took his attention away from the test paper, the test time was almost over. He checked the test paper and confirmed the accuracy of the candidate information. As soon as he put down the pen in his hand, the bell for handing in the paper rang.
Everything was just right, like a script that had been arranged long ago.
Shi Jin walked out of the examination room with other candidates in a relaxed manner. He recalled the process of this exam and found that he did today's questions particularly smoothly and was particularly focused. He was mentally oblivious to everything outside and was in a very good state.
This was really too wrong. You know, when he got up in the morning, his mind was still in a mess and he thought he would fail the exam today.
He realized something and poked Xiao Si in his heart and asked, "Did you help?"
Xiao Si felt a little guilty for being discovered and replied, "I just gave you a little refreshing buff... Um, is the buff useful? If you don't like it, I won't do it."
Shi Jin couldn't help laughing and felt very touched. He replied, "It's useful. Very useful. Thank you."
So Xiao Si spoke louder again Gua Er smiled and said happily: "I knew you could do well in the exam, you are the best!" Shi Jin
was in a good mood because of its thoughtful gesture. He felt that the exam was not so difficult. He stretched his waist and said, "Let's go and have dinner with Lian Jun."
When leaving the examination room, Shi Jin found that Shi Weichong was still outside, and he was not standing with Gua Er. He stood alone at the gate very conspicuously.
Shi Jin was very sure that Shi Weichong was definitely abandoned by Gua Er.
He was helpless. Seeing Shi Weichong coming up to him, he asked first: "Have you been waiting outside?"
"No, I went to sit in the car for a while. Where do you want to go for dinner? I'll go to make a reservation." Shi Weichong answered, just like an ordinary good brother who accompanies the examinee to take the exam. He was careful not to ask about the examinee's exam situation, but only cared about the examinee's eating, drinking, and defecation.
Shi Jin couldn't keep a polite face any longer, so he stopped and said, "Shi Weichong, what do you want to do?"
When Shi Weichong heard him calling him by his name, he didn't even want to call him "big brother". He was silent for
a while and said, "Xiao Jin, I just want to care about you." "But your care now is a burden to me." Shi Jin had no choice but to speak frankly, "Shi Weichong, I'll tell you the truth, every time you come into contact with me, I worry about my safety... Don't say anything first, I'm not saying that you want to harm me, but your attitude may affect the thoughts of people around you about me."
Shi Weichong frowned and said, "Xiao Jin, what do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is that I'm worried that your mother will have some negative thoughts or actions towards me because of your over-closeness to me and even your attempt to give me shares. Can you guarantee that she has absolutely good intentions towards me?" Shi Jin asked bluntly.
Shi Weichong's expression turned ugly, his lips flattened, and he said nothing.
Obviously, the answer to the question is no, and Xu Jie's attitude was clearly stated in the last phone call. Shi Weichong didn't expect Shi Jin to think so deeply, and because of this, he didn't even dare to accept his concern.
"I'll take care of these." He only said this sentence in the end.
Seeing Shi Weichong like this, Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh, and asked helplessly: "Shi Weichong, have you heard of the psychology of over-compensation?"
Shi Weichong: "What?"
"It's that some successful people, after achieving success, will dwell on the flaws in their past lives, and then over-compensate for this part, trying to gain emotional satisfaction. It's an unconscious psychology. Shi Weichong, you are in this situation now." Shi Jin said, in his heart he was actually unwilling to repay Shi Weichong's kindness in this way, but their relationship couldn't continue to be so weird, there must be a clean end.
Shi Wei Chong's face darkened immediately, he looked at Shi Jin solemnly and asked, "Is that how you think of me?"
Although it was cruel, Shi Jin nodded and said, "Brother, I gave you the shares voluntarily, you don't have to feel any psychological burden, goodbye." After that, he stopped looking at him, called Gua Er who was waiting beside him, and walked towards Lian Jun's location with Gua Er.
This time, Shi Wei Chong did not follow him, he stood there and watched Shi Jin walk away, his expression tense all the time.
