Chapter One Hundred: The Day of the Gaokao Results Announcement

  June 26th arrived as scheduled. Early in the morning, Su Yisou, who was still asleep, was woken up by a ringing sound that seemed to be urging her to get up.

  "What kind of thing is this that comes to disturb people's peaceful dreams so early in the morning, doesn't it have any manners......" She muttered to herself in a low voice, extremely unwillingly getting up to pick up her phone on the table. Not turning off your phone before bed isn't a good habit, and not silencing it is even worse! After being woken up for the nth time like this, Su Yisuo finally came to this painful realization that pierced through her heart.

  It was Jiang Zhanlin who called, and Su Yisu's face turned even more unpleasant. She pressed the answer button and said with a straight face: "Jiang Zhanlin, it's early in the morning, are you going to let people sleep or not?"

  "My goodness! Su Yisou! You're still sleeping!" Knowing that Su Yisou hadn't gotten out of bed yet, Jiang Zhan was shocked and exclaimed like he had encountered an alien, "On such an important day, how can you sleep so soundly?! Can you be any more absurd?!"

  Hearing this, Su Yisuo's already confused mind became even more bewildered. She squinted her eyes and asked in puzzlement: "What day is today?"

  "The day when the Gaokao results come out!"

  "Oh, that's what it is? I knew that already. Did you have to call me so early in the morning to tell me? I was still sleeping."

  "Uh..." Jiang Zuo's face turned red with sweat, "How can you be so calm? Oh my god, I'm so nervous, I woke up early and couldn't sleep!"

  Upon hearing this, Su Yisuo immediately became displeased and glared, saying: "So you woke me up on purpose? What kind of person is this? It's just a score, anyway it's all the same, even if it's good, it won't be much better. I'd rather sleep more. That's it, don't call again!" Saying that, she hung up the phone in a huff.

  What's the use of being nervous about something that has already been decided? Just be calm! She patted her chest, took a deep breath... and it seemed like her little heart was beating pretty fast...

  She tossed the phone back onto the desk. Su Yisou glanced at the comfortable bed, thought for a moment and decided to get up and wash up instead. Since she was already awake, she might as well not sleep anymore.

  After going downstairs, Su Yisuo found that Su Yixin was already up and was drying the purple gromwell in the yard that had been collected yesterday evening. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Su Yixin, so early?" she asked.

  Su Yixin glanced back at her briefly before turning around to continue sunbathing, saying: "Still early? The sun has already burned my butt."

  Su Yisuo slightly raised her head, stretched out her hand to block the sunlight on top of her head, and gazed at the morning sun: "Wow! What great weather!"

  "It's best if your Gaokao results are as bright as today's sun." Su Yixin said lightly, accompanying her with a glance, his tone was calm and gentle.

  "Why are you two talking about this again? It's so boring. When you were taking the college entrance exam, I didn't keep nagging in your ear like this."

  That's because you hadn't experienced the college entrance exam back then.

  "What's different about that." Su Yisu shrugged indifferently and slipped into the kitchen. "Huh? Where's Mom?"

  Su Yixin had already hung up all the lavender, and saw Su Yusuo coming out of the kitchen with a puzzled face. She rolled her eyes and said: "The whole world is paying attention to your grades, don't you know? She went to the ancestral temple early this morning to pray for blessings, asking our ancestors to bless you with good grades."

  "Uh..." Su Yisu felt a bit embarrassed, "In that case, it seems like the person most detached from all this is actually me, the one involved?"

  "You just knew! Didn't you subscribe to that China Mobile high school entrance exam results notification message the other day? Any news?"

  "It's too early! At least there should be a result in the afternoon, right?"

  Su Yi Xing gazed at Su Yi Su, who had a completely indifferent expression. He couldn't help but let out a sigh and said: "Alas, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. How boring." As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the living room.

  Su Yisu also spread her hands and followed him in silently.

  After having breakfast, Su Yu from afar in Yin City also made a phone call back to ask about the college entrance exam results. Su Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said a sentence that made her brother listen, then directly threw the phone to Su Yi Xin and ran upstairs without looking back. College entrance exams, can you still torment me a bit more?!

  Before entering the room, she heard the phone ringing frantically inside. Su Yisu approached and pounded her chest in a near-frenzy before slowly opening the door to pick up the phone. Seeing that it was Lin Wan's call, she couldn't help but rant for a bit before answering: "Lin Wan. Don't tell me you're also calling to ask about the college entrance exam scores? If so, I'll cut ties with you directly! No discussion! Those people who didn't take the exam don't know when the results will be released, and you, as someone who took it, still wouldn't know?"

  Lin Wan listened patiently as Su Yisu vented her frustrations, and then burst out laughing, saying: "It seems I'm not the only one after all. I thought I was the only one being tortured like this. Now that I know you're having a bad day too, my heart feels balanced."

  "What kind of person are you?!" Su Yisuo was so angry that she almost vomited blood. What a terrible friend!

  "But I also remember the first few days after we got back home, each of us hiding in our rooms, holding our phones and desperately searching for answers. Looking back now, it's strange how we believed those so-called high school entrance exam answers and shared so many subjects' exams, enthusiastically discussing the answers. Tsk tsk, the results will be out soon, but I'm surprisingly calm."

  "Wu wu...... Lin Wan!" Upon hearing this, Su Yisuo was instantly moved to tears, "Too touching! It's hard to find someone who understands me!"

  Lin Wan only felt a group of crows flying over her head, "Su Yisu, must you?"

  "It's terrible! You don't know how scary those people are, they'll ask about your grades as soon as they catch you, it's too frightening!"

  "Hmm... I understand, so I called you. If they can't get through, they won't be able to ask questions... sigh..." Lin Wan let out a deep breath. It's too scary! Even the college entrance exams weren't that scary!

  Su Yisu wanted to say something else, but suddenly her phone prompted an incoming call. She picked it up and took a glance, and when she saw the name on the screen, she quickly said to Lin Wan: "There's an incoming call, I won't talk to you anymore."

  "Alright, I'll find someone else to call, this is too torturous." Lin Wan hung up the phone, muttering to herself.

  Su Yisu adjusted her emotions and forced a smile before pressing the answer button, saying: "Chen! You're also calling to ask about my grades?"

  Jiang Fengchen on the other side was taken aback and said, "Yi Su, don't let him ask?"

  Su Yi shook her head lightly, "No, it's just...the results aren't out yet."

  "When will it come out?"

  "Probably... this afternoon."

  "Just a few more hours... nervous?"

  "I think I'm the least nervous one." Su Yisuo sighed silently, "But getting into a slightly better university in Yin City shouldn't be a problem, right? I'm not that bad, am I?"

  "Are you going to Yin City?" Upon hearing Su Yisu say this, Jiang Fengchen was stunned again, but quickly realized his own mistake and hastily covered it up: "That's right, your family is moving to Yin City too, so when the time comes, you can all be reunited. Your brother is in Yin City too, right? It's great, other people go away from home to attend university, but you get to reunite with your family while attending university."

  Su Yisumo smiled wryly, and even though Jiang Fengchen continued to talk a lot, she couldn't ignore his momentary daze. Is that right? If I go to Yin City, will it make three people feel awkward? Most importantly, Jiang Fengchen, will you be stuck in the middle and find it hard to do anything about it?

  As she thought of this, she suddenly felt a pang of heartache, but merely covered the place where her heart was beating and forced out a pale smile, saying: "Chen, do you like me?"

  "Of course I like it, why are you asking so suddenly?"

  "Do you love me?"

  Love you so much.

  "En, Chen, I love you very much too."

  Jiang Fengchen was confused by the situation and asked vaguely: "Yi Su, what's wrong with you? Do you have something on your mind?"

  "No," Su Yisu smiled again, "forgive me for being a bit neurotic sometimes."

  "Okay... remember to tell me when the results come out."

  "Uh, I'll hang up first, many people are looking for me." Su Yisu hung up the phone with a calm face, but her left hand covering her chest was still reminding her that the palpitations just now were not an illusion.

  Yin City, what kind of place is it? Worth so many people's struggle, just to enjoy their old age here. She looked out the window in a daze, the thick curtains half-drawn, blocking out most of the sunlight, while the other half of the scorching sun squeezed through the window and shone obliquely on the desktop. She could feel that scorching heat.

  Afternoon is approaching, with the announcement of the college entrance examination results, Su Yisuo also started to get nervous. Su Yixin held her admission ticket number and guarded the computer, ready to check her scores at the first time.

  "Sui Xin, I'm so nervous." Sui Yu stood behind Sui Xin with a worried look on her face, her fists clenched tightly.

  Su Yi Xin turned back silently and looked at her, "But now I'm no longer nervous."

  "Go!" Su Yisu punched out with a bad temper, "Not even comforting me."

  "What else can I do......" Su Yixin tried to input various information such as the admission ticket number while answering her. "----Huh? It's out!"

  "Ah!!!!!" As soon as she heard this, Su Yisu's already anxious heart became even more anxious, and she hurriedly covered her eyes and leaned in, trembling as she asked: "H-h-how many points?"

  "558." Su Yixin replied very calmly.

  "Huh?" As soon as she heard this score, Su Yisuo suddenly let out a delighted cry, her hands flying open and her eyes wide with excitement staring at the screen, "Really is!! Wow, I'm so impressed with myself!"

  Su Yi Xin couldn't help but cover his forehead, he was so embarrassed that he was speechless, "Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, how could I have a sister like you!"

  "Hmmph!" Su Yisuo snorted and turned her head away, proudly walking into the living room. As she ran, she shouted to Shen Xiulan, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard: "Mom! I scored 558 points! I can go to college now!"

  Xiu Lan Shen raised her head with a smile and said sweetly: "We Su Su has always been very fierce."

  Su Yixin walked out with a look of disdain and couldn't help but pour cold water, saying: "Just barely exceeding the admission score line, it's a bit difficult to get into a slightly better university in Yin City."

  "Yin City?" Su Yisu's eyes suddenly dimmed. What if I said I didn't want to attend university in Yin City, how would you all react?
