Chapter 67 Lu Chi Goes All Out
The two got off the bus.
Yellow warning tape had been put up at the school gate. Students, holding their admission tickets, lined up to enter the school gate after being checked by security guards.
In the dense crowd, Li Fei immediately spotted Lu Chi standing there and was just about to speak.
Yu Qing dashed out and quietly patted Lu Chi on the shoulder from behind. By the time he reacted, Yu Qing was already standing in front of him, smiling at him against the rising sun.
Good morning, Lu Chi.
Lu Chi nodded blankly: "Good morning... good morning..."
Li Fei watched this scene in astonishment.
He really couldn't understand when the relationship between the two people in front of him had become so good.
He ran over and said to Lu Chi, "Lu Chi, let me tell you, Qing-ge has gone mad. He says he wants to take the entrance exam for the Normal University. You need to persuade him not to do anything rash."
"Really?" Lu Chi looked at Yu Qing seriously.
Yu Qing grinned and put his arm around Lu Chi's shoulder: "I've made up my mind. I'll listen to you and work hard towards getting into the Normal University."
"Hey, are you even listening to me? Brother Qing is going to take the entrance exam for the Normal University? Aren't you surprised?" Li Fei looked at Lu Chi in astonishment.
“I believe in him, he will definitely pass the exam,” Lu Chi said matter-of-factly.
Li Fei was dumbfounded.
Oh no, another one has gone mad.
"Let's go in first."
Yu Qing checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock. So, the group took their admission tickets and lined up to enter the school.
The students were not assigned to the same examination room.
As they parted, Yu Qing suddenly called out to Lu Chi, "I know you've been hiding your strength all along, but I hope you can go all out this time and show them what a true genius is."
Lu Chi was clearly stunned. Although he didn't know how Yu Qing knew, he still nodded emphatically.
"Um."
The examination room opened at 8:45.
The candidates, like ships propelled by the tide, surged toward their respective examination rooms following the signs.
Yu Qing found her seat, the third row by the window, where sunlight fell perfectly on the corner of the table. Two proctors stood side by side, displaying sealed exam paper bags in their hands.
Unpack, distribute, and fill in names.
Yu Qing took the Chinese exam paper, his eyes first scanning the essay topic "Walking Together," his pen paused, and the image of Lu Chi appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and focused all his energy on the task at hand.
……
the next day.
At 5 p.m., the bell rang to signal the end of the exams.
Yu Qing walked out of the school gate with the crowd, stretched, and the tension in her chest eased.
Because he came out early, he stood by the roadside waiting for Lu Chi.
A short while later, Lu Chi came out with his classmates.
He still walked at the very back, like a nobody.
Lin Yueyue and Yuan Xiu were still gathered in the middle. While looking at the answers, they kept complaining, "The person who set the questions this year must be a devil. What kind of questions are these? I think I'm doomed this time."
"Yes, it's too difficult."
"Yueyue, how did your exam go?"
After complaining, Wang Meili looked at Lin Yueyue next to her.
Lin Yueyue tucked a stray hair behind her ear and smiled somewhat reluctantly: "It is a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum. I wasn't even sure about the last two math problems."
She paused, her tone calm yet with her usual confidence: "But I've handled the basic questions well, so getting into a top-tier university shouldn't be a problem."
After hearing this, Wang Meili wailed even louder: "A top student is a top student, while I'm still struggling to get into an undergraduate program!"
Yuan Xiu then deliberately coughed twice and said to Wang Meili, "Why don't you ask me how my exam went?"
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an idiot: "Why am I asking you? What do I care if you do well on the test? No matter how you do, can you do as well as my Yueyue?"
Yuan Xiu's expression changed instantly, and she glared at her through gritted teeth: "Wang Meili, what do you mean?"
Wang Meili met his gaze without flinching: "What? You're not convinced? Then tell me, when have you ever outperformed my Yueyue in a test?"
Even saints make mistakes, and fools make gains. Don't make any boasts before the results are in.
Yuanxiu clenched his fist and said angrily.
Ever since Lin Yueyue transferred to their class, he has always been number two.
How could he possibly tolerate this?
"Pah! Even if you fail every exam, you'll never be the top scorer in the college entrance exam," Wang Meili sneered.
Lin Yueyue felt helpless seeing the two bickering.
Suddenly, she saw Yu Qing standing at the school gate, so she quickly walked up to her and asked curiously, "Yu Qing, which university are you planning to apply to?"
Yu Qing didn't expect Lin Yueyue to suddenly ask him this question, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked to Lu Chi's side, put his arm around Lu Chi's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You have to ask Lu Chi this question. Wherever he goes, I'll go."
Lin Yueyue turned to look at Lu Chi: "Lu Chi, which university are you planning to apply to?"
"Normal... Normal University," Lu Chi said softly.
Yuan Xiu then sneered, "Normal University is a top-tier university. With your mediocre grades, do you think you can get in?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qing immediately became displeased: "Xiuer, I don't like hearing you say that. Whether you can pass the exam or not is not up to you. Maybe Lu Chi will perform exceptionally well this time and pass the exam."
"Fine, even if he's lucky enough to pass the exam, what about you? Don't you know how badly you're doing?" Yuan Xiu sneered.
"Even a saint can make a mistake, and even a fool can have a stroke of luck. That's what you just said. Even if I don't pass this time, maybe I will pass next time."
"No matter how many chances I give you, you still won't pass the exam."
Yu Qing rubbed his fist: "Huh? What did you say?"
Yuanxiu couldn't help but take a step back, and said guiltily, "So what if you get in? Lin Yueyue won't go to Normal University, and neither will I. It's a lousy school. I wouldn't go even if you invited me."
Wang Meili seemed to have grasped the key point and looked at Yu Qing in surprise: "Yu Qing, you want to repeat the reading?"
"Yeah!" Yu Qing touched his nose, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"I support you. Let those snobbish guys be slapped in the face."
“I support you too,” Lin Yueyue said.
Yuanxiu's face turned ashen.
……
In the teachers' office, the ceiling fan creaked and groaned.
Old Xu held the enamel cup, blew away the tea leaves on the surface, took a small sip, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out like a fan.
The other homeroom teachers standing nearby looked on with a sour, envious gaze.
"Old Xu, I think your class is definitely going to be the top scorer in this year's college entrance exam, and I bet quite a few of them will pass the cutoff for top universities! Can you share some of your experience?"
Old Xu chuckled and put the cup back on the table: "There's no experience involved, it's all thanks to the kids' hard work."
His tone was humble, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up: "I just take a few extra hours, recite some scriptures, and occasionally give them a couple of bowls of chicken soup. They still have to walk their own path."
"I bet the top scorer in this year's college entrance exam is Lin Yueyue from your class. That girl is definitely a natural at studying. In all my years of teaching, this is the first time I've encountered such a remarkable student. I've never seen her study at all."
"Don't even mention Lin Yueyue, if only we had a genius like Yuan Xiu in our class, it would be great. Unfortunately, our class is full of idiots."
"Old Chen, what are you saying? There are far more idiots in your class than in ours."
The cicadas chirped softly outside the window, and sunlight slanted across the desk.
Old Xu took another sip of tea, smiling but saying nothing.
Genius is irreplaceable.
Their class produced a freak like Lin Yueyue.
That's already incredibly kind of them.
There are no child prodigies in this world.
