Chapter 100 Her and His Meeting at the Summit
A few days later, Zhou Chong went abroad.
Jiang Wan stayed home, making up for the sleep she had missed, and occasionally went out with Sun Qianyu to watch movies and have meals.
In her previous life, during this summer vacation, Jiang Wan was pre-admitted to Peking University through its independent enrollment program. All she needed to do in the college entrance examination was reach the first-tier university admission line, which was as easy as drinking water for her. Therefore, her whole family did not take the college entrance examination too seriously.
Shan Tong had booked the trip well in advance, and as soon as Jiang Wan finished her college entrance exams, the whole family went to the Maldives for a vacation.
But in this life, Jiang Wan only wants to quietly wait for the results to come.
She would only feel at ease after checking her score.
Two days ago, Shan Tong mentioned to her that there were still half a month until the college entrance examination results were released, so why not go somewhere to relax and clear her head, instead of constantly thinking about the scores?
But Jiang Wan refused. She had been to the Maldives, Fiji, and many other tourist destinations; she had traveled to almost every one of them in her previous life.
There wasn't any particular place she wanted to go. In comparison, she preferred to spend this rare holiday with her family, especially with her grandmother.
Having lived a lifetime, she knew that after starting university, there would be very few relaxing holidays with nothing to do.
Whether it's summer camps, internships, or overseas exchanges, the short winter and summer vacations are always packed with activities, and after starting work, there are even fewer holidays.
Adults are always busy with all sorts of things: work, socializing, business engagements, dating...
There's just not enough time to spend with family.
Jiang Wan has a deeper understanding of this, especially after her grandmother passed away in her previous life.
Therefore, she could especially understand Zhou Chong's decision to go to Europe to find his father.
Although she didn't know when Zhou Chong's father was transferred back to work in China, it must have been several years later.
In recent years, his family has not been able to reunite. His mother is usually busy with work, so it is time for them to spend more time with their family.
As for her, once she goes to university, she can see Zhou Chong every day, and there will be plenty of time to cultivate their relationship, so there's no rush.
So she moved back to Yujing No. 1 early on, spending her days watering flowers and taking walks with her grandmother, and sometimes even playing mahjong with her. She lived a very leisurely life.
The day the college entrance exam scores are released.
She had arranged a time with Zhou Chong beforehand to check their scores together on the computer while on a voice call.
"I've already logged into the system, how about you?"
Jiang Wan sat at her desk, her right hand on the mouse, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, her phone beside her, displaying her QQ voice chat with Zhou Chong.
"Yes, I've boarded it too." Zhou Chong's voice came from afar, with no background noise.
"Where are you?" Jiang Wan asked into her phone while refreshing the webpage. "Is your internet connection slow? Is there any lag?"
"It should be fine," Zhou Chong said. "I'm at the Central Library in Amsterdam, and the internet here is better than in the hotel."
Jiang Wan chuckled. "Zhou Chong, I'm not trying to be mean, but why do you have to go to the library everywhere you go? Are you really that passionate about studying?"
Zhou Chong paused, a soft laugh faintly coming from behind him, "It's because the internet here is good, and I don't want to miss the time to check the scores with you."
"Okay, I know, I was just kidding." Jiang Wan said, when suddenly the spinning page refreshed, "The score is out! The score is out!"
Jiang Wan covered her mouth as she looked at the score displayed on the screen.
Her total score was 713, higher than her previous estimate.
Not only was it higher than her college entrance exam score in her previous life, but it was also the highest score she had achieved since her senior year of high school.
It's important to know that the higher your score, the harder it is to improve it by even one point.
In the last few mock exams of her senior year, including the third mock exam, her scores were consistently above 700, but the highest score she ever achieved was 708.
710 points is a hurdle she has never overcome.
After each exam, she would compare her scores with Zhou Chong's test papers for each subject, checking every point to see where she could improve her score.
So that she could overcome the hurdle of 710 points and stand with Zhou Chong.
Unexpectedly, she made it through the college entrance examination.
Jiang Wan was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.
Although it wasn't her first time taking the college entrance exam, the sense of accomplishment this score brought her was something she had never experienced in either of her lives.
This time, she didn't rely on extra points from the independent enrollment program; she broke through her own limits based on her raw college entrance exam score.
There was probably still a delay in the network overseas. Jiang Wan had already gone through several rounds of excitement and calm in her heart, but she still hadn't heard Zhou Chong speak.
"Zhou Chong, have you checked your score?" Jiang Wan asked.
"Yes, I found it."
"Then why aren't you saying anything?" Jiang Wan asked anxiously. "You scared me to death! What score did you get?"
Zhou Chong chuckled lightly, "I'll wait for you to speak first."
"I got 713, higher than I estimated," Jiang Wan said with a hint of a smile. "And you?"
“718,” Zhou Chong said calmly.
"So tall." Jiang Wan clicked her tongue lightly, a smile playing on her lips, and then sighed dramatically, "Sigh, I still can't beat you."
Zhou Chong didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a long silence, he tentatively said, "But you said... you don't want to compete with me anymore."
Jiang Wan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. "Yeah, I'm not going to compete with you. I was just teasing you."
Zhou Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, with your score, you should be the top scorer in our city, right?" Jiang Wan suddenly asked.
"have no idea."
"Didn't you receive any calls?" Jiang Wan asked, counting on her fingers. "It was the admissions office of Tsinghua University, the admissions office of Peking University, the provincial examination authority, the municipal education bureau. No matter what, Lao Fan should have called you, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shan Tong answering a phone call outside the door behind her.
"Yes, I am Jiang Wan's mother. Okay, please go ahead."
At the same time, Jiang Ronghai's cell phone rang, and the landline at home also rang; his grandmother answered it.
For a moment, the whole family was on the phone.
She hid in her room and continued chatting with Zhou Chong via voice.
Zhou Chong's voice came from the speaker, "During our time in Europe, my mother and I both switched to local SIM cards for convenience, because we had to activate roaming when making calls with our domestic mobile numbers."
"Oh right." Jiang Wan suddenly realized that she had forgotten about this. "Then you can relax for a while. If you can't interview the top science student in the city, all the major media outlets in Lincheng will be in an uproar."
Zhou Chong chuckled, "How can you be so sure that I'm destined to be the top science student?"
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment. Of course, she couldn't say it, because he was the top science student in Lincheng in his previous life. Although she didn't remember Zhou Chong's college entrance examination score, this point should not have changed.
"That, that's because..."
She stammered, and before she could say why, she heard a knocking sound behind her on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Shan Tong's voice rang out.
"Wanwan, your teacher, Ms. Fan, is calling. Come out and answer her."
"Okay, coming right away."
After answering loudly, Jiang Wan hurriedly said to Zhou Chong on the other end of the phone, "Because I believe in you."
Zhou Chong was taken aback and before he could react, he heard Jiang Wan say, "Old Fan called. I'll go answer it first. I'll hang up now."
"good."
Jiang Wan hung up the phone, walked out of the room, took the phone from Shan Tong's hand, and asked, "Hello, Teacher Fan?"
"Jiang Wan, you did very well on the exam this time! 713 points, the second highest score in science in Lincheng!" Old Fan's voice was filled with excitement even through the electricity. "You said back then that the top scorer and runner-up of this year's exam would come from my class, and you were right!"
"Ah...really?" Jiang Wan paused for a second, then excitedly asked, "Is Zhou Chong the top science student in our city?"
"Yes, he scored 718, just 5 points higher than you. Jiang Wan, don't be discouraged. Actually, you and he are only a few points apart, really, just a tiny difference. The third place score is much lower than you, not even 710 points..."
Old Fan went on and on, but Jiang Wan didn't listen carefully.
She was certain of only one thing.
That is, in Lincheng, only two people scored above 710 in the science section of the college entrance examination.
She really did it.
Standing at the highest point with Zhou Chong.
