Chapter 144 Seeing Through But Not Saying It



After much anticipation, the college entrance examination has finally arrived.

As a parallel world, the college entrance examination here is still the old one, and it has not been reformed yet.

The exam will still be held on June 7th and 8th.

The first day's exams are Chinese and Math, and the second day's exams are English and a combination of humanities and science subjects.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is a major event for any family, especially for a wealthy family like the Lu family, which places great importance on it.

A few days before the college entrance examination, Lu Yuanqing specifically instructed the chef, Lao He:

"These past few days, the whole family's diet has mainly consisted of light and high-protein foods. We must adjust the young master's diet so that he can fully prepare for the college entrance examination."

Old He nodded repeatedly: "Understood, sir."

On the morning of June 7th, Lu Chi got up very early.

The entire Lu family got up as well.

For the first time ever, no one went to work. Led by their mother, Pan Feng, the five daughters, dressed in various cheongsams, stood with Lu Yuanqing, who was dressed in a suit, outside the examination hall to wait for Lu Chi after he entered.

Although the eldest sister Lu Sangning, the second sister Lu Qingru, and the third sister Lu Yanxin came voluntarily.

Fourth sister Lu Xiaoyue and fifth sister Lu Yunke were summoned by their mother, Pan Feng. Although they were unwilling, they still dressed up beautifully and came over.

The way the family waited outside the examination hall was just like that of millions of ordinary parents who hoped their sons would become dragons and their daughters would become phoenixes.

Lu Yuanqing himself remained relatively calm, because he firmly believed in his heart that his son was just as excellent as himself and would definitely get good grades. Back in his day, he was a top student, so how could his good son be bad?

Pan Feng is different.

I was very anxious the whole time I was waiting outside the exam hall. I prayed silently that my son would perform well and get good results.

Compared to the tense scene outside, the examination room was much calmer.

Lu Chi sat in the third row by the window. This exam was for Chinese, and the exam time was two and a half hours. However, Lu Chi finished all the questions in just over an hour.

Moreover, he wrote the essay himself, without asking Guagua for help from beginning to end.

Guagua estimated that Lu Chi would score at least 142 out of 150 in this subject.

However, finishing the questions too quickly isn't a good thing either, because you can't hand in your paper early, and you'll have to sit in the exam room for the remaining hour and a half.

For the next hour and a half, Lu Chi didn't write anything. He either stared blankly out the window, stared blankly at the blackboard, or stared blankly at the proctor standing in front of the podium.

This caused the two proctors to become extremely nervous, as they thought he was trying to cheat.

They kept a close eye on him from beginning to end, not missing a single one of his tiny movements.

As soon as he puts his hand under the table, a teacher will come over and gesture for him to put his hand on the table.

Even the teachers in the video monitoring room were all staring intently at their exam room 18.

They also instructed the external proctor to inform the invigilators in the classroom to keep a close watch and make sure nothing went wrong.

“Sigh,” Lu Chi sighed helplessly, “Preparing the test paper in advance isn’t always a good thing. I’ll have to take the English test a little slower this afternoon.”

After waiting and waiting, the bell finally rang, saying, "Exam over, please stop answering..." After the invigilator collected and counted the answer sheets, exam papers, and draft papers, Lu Chi practically ran out of the exam room.

Without a doubt, Lu Chi was the first to leave the examination room.

When the Lu family saw Lu Chi rushing out, they hurriedly went to greet him.

Reporters from major news media outlets also rushed forward to greet them.

All the cameras in their hands were pointed at the tall, handsome, and somewhat naive young man in front of them, and countless reporters stretched out microphones to ask:

"Hello, as the first candidate to leave this examination room, how do you feel about your performance?"

Lu Chi shook his head and laughed, "Not bad."

"Hello, do you think the Chinese exam was difficult?"

Lu Chi: "It's alright."

Lu Yuanqing and his wife quickly stepped in to stop the reporters.

Lu Yuanqing said, "Please stop asking. My son still has three exams to take. Don't let it affect his mood."

Pan Feng added, "Yes, yes, we're going out to eat and take a nap. Please ask again after the last exam."

The reporters nodded and slowly dispersed.

Lu Chi followed the family back to the villa.

Chef Lao He had already prepared a balanced meal of meat and vegetables. Although eggs and prawns are the most common ingredients, they are high in protein.

After eating until he was about 80% full, Lu Chi went back to his room to sleep.

Worried that the puppy, Dudu, might make noise and disturb Lu Chi's afternoon nap, Lu Yuanqing planned to have his bodyguard take Dudu for a walk in the park and bring it back when Lu Chi woke up.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chi said, "Dad, no need. Dun Dun is very obedient. Just tell him not to make any noise, and he will listen."

Lu Chi turned around and said to Dun Dun, who had grown into a half-grown dog and looked somewhat domineering:

"Go and wait in the gazebo in our garden. Don't make any noise. I'll call you from the window when I get up, then you can come over."

The next second, Dun seemed to fully understand what Lu Chi said. He barked at Lu Chi twice, then turned and ran to the pavilion in the garden.

It didn't until Lu Chi got up that it happily ran upstairs.

I have a math exam this afternoon.

For Lu Chi, mathematics was even simpler.

Logically, it should only take 30 minutes to finish, but thinking about how I finished it too quickly this morning, I'm extremely bored.

Lu Chi deliberately slowed down and did it slowly.

Even so, he finished half an hour ahead of schedule. Bored, Lu Chi drew a turtle on the draft paper.

He drew one after another.

Each one has a tiny head and a large shell on its back.

He secretly thought to himself, "Damn, I never knew I had such a talent for drawing! I'm such a multi-talented person!"

Guagua was speechless: [Drawing such an ugly turtle, what kind of talent is that, hahaha! Host, your drawing is too ugly, hahaha!]

"Ding... Exam over. Please stop answering immediately..."

Lu Chi stretched.

"Finally, the exam is over. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had enough scratch paper to draw turtles."

After leaving the examination room, Lu's family did not ask him how he did, fearing it would affect his performance in the next two exams.

The English exam was on the second morning, and the science exam was on the afternoon.

The first thing Lu Chi did after finishing his exams was to take his whole family out for barbecue and karaoke.

Even Lu Yuanqing and Pan Feng, who usually looked down on barbecue as something unclean and unhygienic, joined in the eating.

However, a little over an hour later, Lu Yuanqing and Pan Feng went back, leaving only Lu Chi, his sisters, and the family's bodyguards to play around.

Lu Yuanqing went to have tea with his old friend, while Pan Feng, under the guise of visiting her old friend, secretly went to play mahjong.

Lu Yuanqing shook his head, knowing better but saying nothing.

My wife is great in every way, except she's too addicted to playing mahjong.

Never mind her, it's not like the Lu family is short of money to pay her.

As long as she's happy.

Everyone went back to sleep just before dawn.

However, Lu Chi, who should have been very tired, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
