Chapter 34 Bravely Speak Out Your Dreams
When I entered the lecture hall, there were already some students there.
Jiang Wan didn't recognize who was who, but she knew they were the top students from the other science experimental classes and the top liberal arts classes.
After all, only these people have a chance to participate in the independent enrollment exam.
Jiang Wan sat down with her classmates. Shi Leyao was on her left, Zhou Chong was on her right, and Jiang Shengming was sitting to Zhou Chong's right.
The presentation began soon afterward.
The speakers listed were prestigious 985 universities such as Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, and Jiangnan University. Jiangwan wasn't interested and listened to their presentations only briefly.
Tsinghua University and Peking University are ranked last.
When the admissions officer from Tsinghua University came on stage, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Zhou Chong.
His calm face remained expressionless, and Jiang Wan could not discern any emotion regarding his preference.
But in any case, this was the university Zhou Chong attended in his previous life, and Jiang Wan listened very attentively.
In fact, one of the reasons she chose Peking University in her previous life was that Zhou Chong chose Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua University and Peking University each have two school recommendation slots for independent admissions. Tsinghua University allocated both slots to science students, while Peking University allocated one slot to humanities students and the other to science students.
As the first and second in the science class, Zhou Chonghe could choose between Tsinghua University and Peking University.
In her previous life, during high school, she and Zhou Chong disliked each other intensely, and she resented his constant superiority over her.
That's why she didn't want to go to the same university as him. It would be so unpleasant to be overshadowed by him everywhere she went in college.
In addition, her family knew someone studying at Peking University, and her parents thought that if she went to Beijing, they could look after each other, so they also suggested that Jiang Wan choose Peking University.
So, after Zhou Chong took the Tsinghua University recommendation form from Lao Fan, she resolutely took the Peking University recommendation form as well.
But that was all in her past life. In this life, Jiang Wan has other plans.
She listened attentively to Tsinghua University's history, academic programs, and admission guidelines, and filled her notebook with notes.
When she looked up again, the Tsinghua University admissions officer had already stepped off the stage, but the person who walked onto the stage next made Jiang Wan suddenly pause in surprise.
Where are the admissions officers at Kyoto University?
Why was a student the one giving the presentation?
Moreover, this student was an acquaintance of Jiang Wan.
"Students, next up to give a presentation on Peking University's independent admissions program is your senior."
Teacher Tan, the grade head, stood on the side of the stage, holding a microphone, and introduced the boy who walked onto the stage.
"Luo Xuan is an outstanding graduate of our No. 1 High School Class of 2011. He was admitted to Peking University through independent enrollment and is now a junior in the Department of Law at Peking University. He is the president of the student union at Peking University. Let's welcome him with applause!"
Jiang Wan raised her hand woodenly and clapped a few times in the crowd.
As luck would have it, this outstanding senior was an acquaintance of hers who was studying at Peking University.
The two families are neighbors, both living in the Yujing No. 1 Villa District. Luo Xuan is three years older than her and has always acted like an older brother since childhood. He is sensible and reliable, and her parents trust him completely. As long as Jiang Wan goes out with Luo Xuan, he always agrees.
But in reality, Luo Xuan's outward appearance was all an act. When they went out to play, he promised to take Jiang Wan to the bookstore, but then turned around and went into the arcade.
Thanks to Luo Xuan, Jiang Wan was proficient in Contra and King of Fighters from a young age.
That's why she and Luo Xuan have always had a good relationship. Later, her parents said that if she went to Peking University, she and Luo Xuan could look after each other, and she happily agreed.
After all, Luo Xuan had been to Beijing three years earlier than her, so he must know the city very well.
However, after she went to Peking University, she found out that Luo Xuan was in a relationship and was always with his girlfriend, so he didn't have time to care about her, the girl next door.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Was Luo Xuan also the one who came back to Peking University to give a presentation on behalf of the university's admissions officers in his past life?
Jiang Wan thought back for a moment and realized she couldn't remember.
Today, Luo Xuan wore a light gray plaid cashmere sweater with a section of white shirt collar peeking out, and a pair of thin-rimmed silver glasses.
Jiang Wan watched him walk leisurely onto the podium and cursed inwardly, "Sophisticated scoundrel."
Luo Xuan, who was standing on the stage, obviously saw her too. At a distance that was neither too close nor too far, he nodded and smiled at everyone, and then raised an eyebrow at her.
Jiang Wan stuck out her tongue and quietly raised a middle finger.
She was completely unaware that Zhou Chong, sitting to her right, was looking at her with his head turned to the side, taking in her playful and teasing expression.
-
"Hello fellow students, I am Luo Xuan. It is an honor to represent Peking University and return to our alma mater to give a presentation on independent admissions."
"Just now, backstage, Director Tan told me that he wanted me to share some learning experiences with everyone. Actually, I don't have anything particularly outstanding..."
Luo Xuan spoke eloquently on the podium, while Jiang Wan listened with growing drowsiness.
On the one hand, she was too familiar with Luo Xuan; on the other hand, she was too familiar with Peking University.
The presentation ended just before dinner time, and she even started thinking about what dishes to get at the cafeteria.
However, apart from her, everyone around her seemed to be listening very attentively.
Zhou Chong remained calm as always, but his bright eyes were fixed on Luo Xuan, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
Was Luo Xuan's explanation really that good?
Even Zhou Chong has focused his attention on him?
Jiang Wan was a little suspicious. She turned to look at Shi Leyao and found that her expression was even more focused.
The eyes hidden behind the lenses were slightly curved at that moment, and seemed to be shining.
Her notebook was already full, and she quickly flipped to the next page with her pen in her right hand, continuing to write.
Young girls are easy to guess; at least they're much easier to understand than someone as reserved as Zhou Chong.
Jiang Wan glanced at her twice and had a general idea of what was going on.
She leaned closer to Shi Leyao and gently patted her arm. "Do you really want to go to Peking University?"
Shi Leyao was clearly taken aback for a moment, glanced at Jiang Wan with a flustered and shy expression, then pushed up her glasses, lowered her head, and seemed somewhat embarrassed to admit her thoughts.
Jiang Wan patted her shoulder reassuringly, "It's a good thing to have dreams. So many people don't even know what their dreams are. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Shi Leyao raised her head slightly, looking somewhat shy as she faced Jiang Wan. "But... my grades probably won't qualify me for a recommendation to Peking University, and getting in with my raw college entrance exam score... will be even more difficult."
Although Jiang Wan didn't remember which university Shi Leyao attended in her previous life, it certainly wasn't Peking University.
She didn't know much about Shi Leyao before, and she didn't know that Peking University was her dream school.
But now, everything is clearly different.
At the very least, she won't take away the only recommendation spot for Peking University's independent admission program in the science class.
"Believe in yourself, there is still hope." Jiang Wan held her shoulder, her eyes exceptionally clear. "Speak out your dreams bravely, that's the first step."
Shi Leyao stared at her intently for a moment, then, as if she had made up her mind, nodded vigorously. "I want to go to Peking University. I will definitely work hard."
"Okay, keep it up." Jiang Wan smiled and said, "I believe in you."
