Regret?
Lu Ye’s thin lips slightly lifted.
I’m truly sorry.
All his life, he had never known how to write the words "regret."
--
In the blink of an eye, it was June 1st.
Two months had passed since Lin Guixiang went abroad.
During this time, Lin Wu spent every day studying and completing tasks, leading a very fulfilling life.
After school in the evening.
Lin Wu, as usual, went to the repair shop.
Xue Jinghao took her backpack, "Sister Lin, the college entrance exam is coming up and you still come to the repair shop every day, won’t this delay your studies?"
"Not a big problem," Lin Wu said in a light tone.
Xue Jinghao continued, "Which university do you want to attend?"
"Capital University, I guess," Lin Wu replied.
Upon hearing this, Xue Jinghao sighed, "Back in the day, I almost got into Capital University." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
What a pity!
It was just a little bit short.
"It’s okay," Lin Wu patted Xue Jinghao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "you can try harder in your next life."
Xue Jinghao: "..." He really could thank her.
Lu Ye walked by and handed Lin Wu a pink box.
"What’s this?" Lin Wu asked.
Lu Ye’s thin lips parted slightly, "Open it and see."
Lin Wu opened the box and saw it was full of colorful candies.
Humans are visual creatures; seeing such pretty candies also made Lin Wu’s mood a lot better.
Lu Ye went on, "Happy Children’s Day."
Children’s Day!
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.
Lately, the atmosphere in the class had been very tense, with everyone busy studying even during break times, and since Children’s Day was essentially a festival for little kids, there was no festive atmosphere in the classroom.
Even Lin Wu had forgotten that today was Children’s Day.
She looked up with a smile, her bright, sparkling eyes just meeting his, "Isn’t this a holiday for little kids?"
"Aren’t you a little kid?" Lu Ye couldn’t help himself and ruffled her hair.
Lin Wu waved his hand away in disgust and walked in, "Don’t touch my head, you’ve made a mess of my hairstyle."
After walking a few steps, Lin Wu stopped and looked back at Lu Ye, "Also, I don’t like candy at all."
After saying this, she continued walking forward.
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Ye’s lips curved up, his stern face adding a hint of a helpless smile.
Coming into the inner room, Lin Wu picked up a piece of candy from the box, unwrapped it, and ate it.
The sour and sweet flavor burst on her tongue; the candies seemed a lot more delicious than she had expected.
Lin Wu couldn’t help but smile.
Lu Ye, who walked in afterward, caught this scene, and a quiet smile crept onto his lips.
After eating a piece of candy, Lin Wu went outside to fix bikes together.
"Teacher Yao, the college entrance exam is coming up; how did your class do in the last mock exam?" Teacher Huang asked while walking and looking at Yao Xianghong.
Every class would have a mock exam before the college entrance exam.
To not pressure the students, the scores are usually not announced.
Only the subject teachers know.
Yao Xianghong’s class had several top students, and Teacher Huang thought their class would have excellent mock exam scores.
As a fellow senior year homeroom teacher, Teacher Huang was also curious about the mock exam level of the top class.
Upon hearing it, Yao Xianghong answered with a smile, "It’s quite good."
There were 60 students in their class; half of them easily made the top university entrance mark, and the other half could surpass the first-tier university cutoff score.
Besides, their class could produce a provincial top scorer.
Thinking of this, Yao Xianghong’s smile grew even brighter.
She couldn’t wait for the college entrance exam to start.
After all, she had been waiting a long time for this day.
Teacher Huang immediately said, "And Zhang Xianxian? How did student Zhang Xianxian perform?"
As everyone knew, Zhang Xianxian’s score in the last mock exam wasn’t very good.
Added to that, Zhang Xianxian’s recent drastic changes had been the talk of the teachers’ office for quite some time.
Yao Xianghong knew everyone was guessing about Zhang Xianxian’s actual level.
Ridiculous.
She had mentored Zhang Xianxian for three years, witnessing all her growth; no one knew Zhang Xianxian better than she did.
Zhang Xianxian was different from the fake Lin Wu.
All her achievements were genuinely earned.
"Teacher Huang, we are not strangers; I’ll give you an inside tip," Yao Xianghong spoke softly, "Our class’s Zhang Xianxian scored 748 points in this mock exam."
748?
Teacher Huang widened her eyes.
The total score for the college entrance exam was 750 points, meaning Zhang Xianxian was only 2 points away from a perfect score.
Without any surprises, this score would secure the provincial top scorer for the year, and universities both domestic and international would let Zhang Xianxian pick them with her eyes closed.
"Zhang Xianxian in your class is too amazing!" exclaimed Teacher Huang.
Yao Xianghong smiled, "Zhang Xianxian in our class has never disappointed me. Last time, she was unwell, which is why she didn’t finish the paper."
Teacher Huang added, "It looks like this year’s top college entrant has got to be Zhang Xianxian from your class..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her gaze was drawn to the figure beside the repair shop, "Teacher Yao, is that Lin Wu from class ten?"
