The college entrance exam scores are finally out!
Xiao Liu kept his promise and became the top scholar in the province, while Xiao Wu became the second-best scholar, and the third-best scholar was Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi's lips curled up: "I told you, the top scholar is my brother's, the second-place scholar is my brother's, and the third-place scholar is the most suitable for me!"
A reporter found out the address of the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, then checked the address of the second-highest scorer and was surprised to find that it was the same address. Then he checked the address of the third-highest scorer and found it was the same address again!
They thought there was something wrong with the system, but when they arrived at the destination, they found out that they really did all come from the same family!
The news spread like wildfire, with all sorts of comments online: "Three outstanding students from one family!" "They must be a scholarly family!" "They must have some college entrance exam techniques!" "I want to learn from them and ace next year's exam!" "Please reveal their college entrance exam secrets!"...
Han Chengshan felt obliged to go back and congratulate his younger siblings on their excellent achievements, and thus received a day off.
Han Chengshan returned home travel-worn, but apart from Wang Ma eating melon seeds, his younger siblings and grandfather were nowhere to be seen in the yard.
Aunt Wang spat out the sunflower seed shells: "Blackie Third Brother, you're back?"
"Wang Ma, can you please use a different form of address? I'm the Third Young Master, aren't you afraid of getting fired for this?"
Having completely let loose, Wang Ma sneered, "Did you go crazy from being in the army? Don't you know anything about labor laws? I've worked for the Han family for ten years, and I can't just be fired like that!"
Han Chengshan: "..."
Aunt Wang walked over, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket, and handed them to him: "Eat up, your grandpa roasted these. Unlike the sunflower seeds outside which are all artificial flavorings and colors, these are really fragrant!"
"It smells really good." Han Chengshan ate one and immediately started eating a second one, unable to stop.
"Your grandfather took your younger brother and sister to pay respects to our ancestors."
"Ancestor worship?"
"Only when the ancestral graves emit auspicious smoke can one become the top scholar, the second-place scholar, and the third-place scholar. Naturally, we should go and tell our ancestors, and also pay respects to your grandmother to make her happy."
Han Chengshan suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "We need to tell Grandma that she always says she hopes we can become college students and bring honor to our family when we grow up."
Wang Ma glanced at him sideways, her eyes filled with disdain.
Han Chengshan: "...Your gaze is very unfriendly."
"You're such a disappointment!" Wang Ma said, exasperated.
Han Chengshan's lips twitched: "How am I so useless?"
"Your whole family are all top students, and you're just a soldier scoundrel!"
“You’re wrong! Aunt Wang, your awareness is too low! I’m a soldier who has won glory for the country, the most worthy of honor! They are college students, and so am I, although my college degree is a bit dubious.”
During his five years in the military, he also pursued further education and obtained a university degree, majoring in political science.
"Good, good, you're amazing, you're the best! Here's a handful of melon seeds for you!" Wang Ma reluctantly took out another handful of melon seeds and handed them to Han Chengshan.
Han Chengshan caught it quickly; these sunflower seeds were really delicious, and the previous handful was almost empty.
"Is it tough in the army?"
"It's not hard. I think it's quite easy for me."
Everyone has their own area of expertise. If you make him sit at his desk and study all day, that would be a real hardship!
Are you injured?
"Injuries are inevitable, but I'm tough and I'm not afraid."
"Why don't you put on some sunscreen?"
"I want to apply it too, but I never have time or I forget. Anyway, I'm a guy, so whether my skin is fair or dark doesn't matter."
Wang Ma and Han Chengshan chatted and ate melon seeds for quite a while before Han Fei returned with Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi.
Upon seeing the green shoes placed at the door, Xiao Liu was the first to react: "Third Brother is back!"
When they arrived in the courtyard, they saw that Wang Ma and Han Chengshan had already ate sunflower seed shells all over the ground.
"Little Five, Little Six, Little Seven, you guys are really amazing!" Han Chengshan hugged Little Five and Little Six, and reached out to pat the little girl's head.
"Third Brother, tell us about life in the army!"
"What's there to say? It's training every day, it's pretty boring, just repeating the same things over and over again."
"Unlike in the movies, is there any need to go on missions or anything?"
"We don't have that many missions to be assigned. Too many missions are not a good thing; they indicate that the country is not at peace."
When it was time to eat, Han Fei called out, "Come and eat, everyone. Stop bothering your third brother."
...
Han Chengshan hadn't seen the beautiful bodyguard sister for a long time and missed her terribly.
As soon as I finished eating, I ran to find the bodyguard.
After he joined the army, his bodyguards could no longer sneak into the school like they did in school, such as as cleaners. The army is not a place that just anyone can enter.
The female bodyguard was assigned to Xiao Qi's side, while the male bodyguard temporarily stayed with Han Fei.
The bodyguard sister, who originally followed the rough and tough Third Young Master, switched to following the delicate little girl Xiao Qi. After an adjustment period, with the help of the twin bodyguards, she quickly understood Xiao Qi's situation and formulated a series of protection plans.
She was conscientious and hardworking, and did not want to leave the Han family, since working there was relatively safe and the salary was quite good.
The three were eating when suddenly the twin bodyguards started winking at each other. The older bodyguard looked confused, turned around, and saw Han Chengshan standing at the door. She heard the twin bodyguards laughing and was quite helpless. She could only stand up and walk to the door.
"Third Young Master."
“You never used to sound so distant.”
"I am now Miss Han Qi's bodyguard."
"Tsk! You're my bodyguard, but I'm only lending you to my sister temporarily."
“Third Young Master has been in the army his whole life, hasn’t he?” She raised her clear and bright eyes. “I heard that Third Young Master will not retire from the army. He will stay in the army and be promoted to officer. The political commissar has already introduced you to a girl. She is an art troupe soldier.”
"Haha..." Han Chengshan laughed loudly.
"What are you laughing at!"
Han Chengshan suddenly moved closer to her: "How do you know so much about me? You care about me a lot?"
Being too close, she could smell his unique scent. The strong masculine aroma made her realize that Han Chengshan was now a 22-year-old man, no longer the naive boy he was five years ago.
She took a step back, keeping a distance: "It's no secret."
"As long as I am not discharged from the military, I will stay in the army."
Hearing this predictable answer, she had mixed feelings.
"I don't like those cultural soldiers; they're not good-looking."
"Huh?" Someone who can become an arts and culture soldier wouldn't be good-looking?
"It's all your fault."
"Blame me?"
"You've raised my standards of beauty. Now, when I look at other women, I don't find them attractive at all."
Han Chengshan was surrounded by beautiful women from a young age. His grandfather hired bodyguards who were all stunningly beautiful, his older sister was also a great beauty, and Xiao Qi was an exceptionally beautiful woman!
In such an environment, his standards had long been honed, and ordinary people were no longer worthy of his attention.
