Chapter 12, Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
The college entrance examination lasted for three days, and all the examination venues were located in the county town.
It would take a long time to go back and forth.
It's unrealistic to expect them all to live in the county town.
Fearing they might get into trouble on the road, the brigade leader specially arranged for a tractor to transport them every day.
These three days have delayed a lot of work.
These educated youths were also grateful. During the time they were waiting for the exam results, they took the initiative to work and did their best to help the villagers catch up on the work they had missed.
Even Xu Qingzhou was no exception, leaving early and returning late every day.
It took me two or three days to catch up on the missed progress.
Only then did Xu Qingzhou have time to ask Yu Wanwan about her situation.
How did the exam go?
As soon as the exam ended, Yu Wanwan was picked up by the brigade leader and his wife, who said they wanted to give her a good boost.
He didn't have time to ask, and then he was busy working in the fields. When he came back, he was exhausted and had no energy to ask.
This delay has dragged on until now.
"It's alright."
Yu Wanwan leaned against the bed, flipping through a book, not paying much attention.
Hearing her say that, Xu Qingzhou felt reassured.
That's alright, that means you performed as expected.
Seeing her carefree and indifferent attitude, he still felt somewhat helpless.
Xu Qingzhou went over and pulled out her book.
Which school do you want to apply to?
The first resumption of the college entrance examination was rushed, and many mechanisms were not yet perfect, including the application process.
In many places, candidates are required to fill in the schools and majors they want to apply for before the college entrance examination.
The specifics depend on the regulations of the province where the candidate resides.
They were quite lucky. The province where Maolin Brigade is located does not require students to fill out their college applications before the college entrance examination. Instead, they can wait until the results are released and then fill out their applications based on their scores.
Thinking about it, Xu Qingzhou casually flipped through the book in her hand, wanting to see what kind of book it was that she held onto day after day, so engrossed in reading it.
One glance was enough to make him jump, slam the book shut, and glare at her with a dark expression.
"Where did you get this kind of book?!"
This is totally adult content!
It's in English!
Yu Wanwan snatched the book back, hugged it to her arms, and turned over.
"Mind your own business!"
Xu Qingzhou had a headache. Seeing her possessive attitude towards food, he couldn't bring himself to fight her for it.
"Does Dad know you read this kind of book?"
"Um."
"...Won't he object?"
Yu Wanwan spoke with confidence and conviction.
"He can't understand it anyway!"
"..."
That makes so much sense, there's absolutely no way to refute it...
Bullshit!
Xu Qingzhou was so angry with her that he felt pain all over, but he couldn't interfere too much.
In the end, he could only choose to avoid seeing it and not wanting to be bothered.
"So, have you decided which school you want to apply to?"
"No."
"..."
Xu Qingzhou was speechless.
"So what major do you want to study?"
"have no idea."
It sounds very perfunctory.
"..."
Xu Qingzhou really couldn't hold back anymore.
He was exasperated. He pulled her book out of the book, ignoring her anger, and shoved it under the covers so she couldn't read it.
After pressing down, I still felt unsafe, so I simply sat down on it.
"Let's talk first, then we'll see!"
Yu Wanwan was dissatisfied, scratched the blanket a couple of times, and her gaze wandered over his buttocks.
This is the male lead, and she has to rely on his male lead aura, so she can't fight him!
"What should we talk about?"
Xu Qingzhou took a breath and kept smiling.
What major do you want to study?
"Didn't I say I didn't know?"
"Then why did you take the college entrance exam?"
"Didn't you ask me to participate?"
Unable to continue reading, Yu Wanwan was very unhappy, and her words were laced with sarcasm.
Xu Qingzhou was rebuffed, but she had to endure it and not argue with her.
"I want to apply to the finance department at Peking University. Since you don't know which school to apply to, why don't you come with me?"
Finance, oh, it's so complicated.
Yu Wanwan was not very happy.
Xu Qingzhou patiently coaxed... no, he tried to persuade her.
"If you don't want to study finance, you can study something else, but I still hope you can go to the same school as me. That way, we can go to school together, look after each other, and our parents will feel at ease. What do you think?"
Yu Wanwan wasn't interested in this, but after thinking about it, she nodded anyway.
"Then let's go with finance."
For her, it doesn't matter which major she studies.
They're all just wasting their time.
She had no intention of achieving anything in this virtual world.
From the very beginning, her goal was clear.
She would cooperate with the male lead as he progressed through the plot, and spend the rest of her time being a lazy bum, waiting for him to die so she could take back her soul fragments.
As for not working hard, how can she live comfortably in these worlds?
There's still the male lead, isn't there? His mission is to make her comfortable.
【Wanwan, you're treating the male lead like an all-around butler!】 Or rather, the kind that comes with its own ATM!
Is there a problem?
【No. 】
That solves it.
Yu Wanwan hummed in response, her smile gentle.
"Can I return the book now?"
Xu Qingzhou didn't want to give it.
But beneath her gentle exterior lurks endless danger.
Xu Qingzhou remained silent for a few seconds, then reluctantly returned the book to her.
Once she got the book back, Yu Wanwan slumped back down, reading it with a broad smile.
The faint sense of crisis that had been lingering around him also dissipated.
Xu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the beads of sweat on his palms, and gave a wry smile.
He was terrified! He thought she was going to attack him!
In this era when transportation was underdeveloped, college entrance examination results were released very slowly.
During this period, the educated youth were somewhat absent-minded, and some of them would often lose focus while doing things.
Fortunately, the brigade leader had already done ideological work with the villagers before the college entrance examination, and after so long, the villagers had gotten used to the atmosphere and didn't say anything.
Instead, they would take the initiative to talk to them, crack jokes, and ease their tension.
Over time, the relationship between the educated youth and the villagers actually became much more harmonious than before because of the college entrance examination.
After waiting for more than a month, the postman finally rode his motorcycle into the Maolin Brigade.
Unlike in the past when mail was delivered to the brigade headquarters, this time the postman was personally led by the brigade leader to the educated youth compound.
Upon seeing this, the villagers knew that the college entrance examination results had been released!
A quick-thinking young man immediately dashed to the field.
"You educated youth! Hurry, hurry! The postman is here with the mail! The college entrance exam results are out! The brigade leader is taking the postman to the educated youth compound!"
"Hey! What did I tell you? Stop what you're doing and go back!"
A flurry of activity erupted in the field. Before the educated youth, who were about to start work, were even more bewildered, the villagers around them snatched their tools and pushed them toward the edge of the field.
After walking a few steps, these people realized what was happening. They didn't have time to say anything to the villagers, so they hurriedly thanked them and ran towards the educated youth compound.
When these educated youth returned to the educated youth compound, the postman was distributing report cards.
Because the province where Maolin Brigade is located releases the results first and then the students apply for universities, at this time they can only know their scores and cannot yet receive their admission notices.
Fortunately, the newspapers have already published the admission scores for various universities, so once they know their scores, they will know whether they can get in or not.
Naturally, some people are happy while others are sad.
Even though the educated youth in Maolin Brigade had more time to review because of the brigade leader, and even though they were lucky enough to be in a province where the results were released before the college application process, some of them still failed the exam.
However, in Maolin Brigade, the number of educated youth who failed the exam was still a minority.
Moreover, those who failed the exam were all former educated youth who had been in Maolin Brigade for several years.
All the new educated youth who came down with Xu Qingzhou in the same batch passed the exam.
The new educated youth had mixed feelings when faced with the older generation who failed the exam.
"It's okay, now that the college entrance exam has been reinstated, there's still a chance!"
In the end, all they could offer were such empty words of comfort.
At the same time, their gratitude towards Xu Qingzhou deepened even further.
They all knew that if Xu Qingzhou hadn't been so open and generous in answering their questions, things would probably be very different now.
At this moment, some people realized that Xu Qingzhou was not in the educated youth compound.
But none of them doubted Xu Qingzhou's achievements.
"Captain, how did Qingzhou do on the exam?"
The captain had been holding it in for a long time, and now that someone asked, he instantly found an outlet for his frustration. His serious face broke into a smile.
"Hey! Qingzhou passed the exam too, so you don't have to worry!"
The postman, overhearing their conversation, couldn't help but chime in.
"You mean Xu Qingzhou? He's the top scorer in our province's college entrance exam!"
The educated youth were in an uproar.
"Top scorer in the college entrance exam?! Qingzhou is really amazing!"
They knew Xu Qingzhou had good grades, but they never expected him to be so good that he would become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
That's really amazing!
The postman also shared their sentiments.
They had already circulated and reviewed Xu Qingzhou's results many times before they received them.
He was not only the top scorer, but also achieved a near-perfect score.
Even outside their province, they rank among the top in the country.
I heard that he was originally from the capital, but he was sent to the Maolin Brigade in the countryside, which is how they got such a top scholar.
The postman added another sentence.
"And not only Xu Qingzhou, but also his wife, Ms. Yang Jiahui, was the top scorer. They both got the same score!"
The postman's words only further confused the educated youth.
They could accept that Xu Qingzhou could become the top scorer in the exam.
But Yang Jiahui?
That guy who grew up in Maolin Village?!
They knew that Yang Jiahui had also taken the college entrance examination, but they simply assumed that since she was Xu Qingzhou's wife and Xu Qingzhou had been tutoring and helping her, she wanted to try it out as well.
But now we're telling them that Yang Jiahui and Xu Qingzhou got the same score?
They were tied for the top scorer in the college entrance examination?
The educated youth felt a moment of disorientation and wondered if they were dreaming.
Is this true?
"Of course it's true!"
After learning that the two top scorers in the college entrance examination were a married couple, the authorities had already investigated.
Xu Qingzhou and Yu Wanwan were not in the same examination room; they were quite far apart.
Moreover, because both of them are very good-looking, among all the candidates, the two who are young and good-looking naturally stand out the most in the examination room and easily attract the attention of the invigilators.
Furthermore, their fluent and almost non-stop answering of the questions drew the attention of the proctors, who kept a close eye on them.
Therefore, it can be said with certainty that they did not cheat and achieved such results entirely through their own abilities.
As for the tie, that was purely an accident.
and……
Xu Qingzhou lost points in Chinese, while Yu Wanwan lost points on a challenging math problem.
The captain didn't care what they thought.
He gave the postman an approving look, his face beaming with joy, yet he still managed to feign humility.
"Hey! It's just that the kid got lucky!"
