Chapter 516: 206 Difficult to Surpass College Entrance Examination (First Update)_2
Mathematics and Mandarin are always headline news during the annual college entrance examination.
After the math exam, “national college entrance mathematics exam” quickly topped the trending searches, and the high school seniors who had held in their anxiety all day finally let loose, venting about the difficulty of the math exam.

[I’ve competed in math contests, but I only managed to draw an auxiliary line on the penultimate problem (smile)]
Netizens clicked in and indeed saw the provincial team medal that this student had boasted about last year. They were somewhat surprised. It was one thing for the average person to find it difficult, but why was it hard even for a prodigy who made it into the provincial team?

In the afternoon, Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun both waited for Bai Lian at the school gate. Seeing the collapsed state of a group of students, they didn’t dare to ask Bai Lian a single question.
Jiang Fulai stood beside Bai Lian, looking down and about to ask how Bai Lian did on the math test.
Shen Qing cleared her throat lightly, “Xiaojiang, come have dinner with us tonight.”
She interrupted Jiang Fulai.
Jiang Fulai just glanced at Bai Lian and didn’t ask any more questions.
The group returned to Ji Heng’s courtyard, where Ji Heng was playing Go with Jiang He. When they arrived, Ji Heng saw Jiang Fulai, let out a sigh of relief, and quickly stood up with his smoking pipe in hand, “Xiaojiang, come here.”
Jiang He slowly looked up, saw Jiang Fulai, and his casually swinging leg slowly came to a halt.
Jiang Fulai sat casually opposite Jiang He and picked up a white stone at random.
Two minutes later, Jiang Fulai glanced at Jiang He and stood up unhurriedly, “We must respect our elders.”
Jiang He: “…”
Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing were busy in the kitchen when he received a call from the butler.
On the other end of the phone, the butler was standing in the courtyard, “What time are you leaving tomorrow? I’ll arrange for a car to take you to Beicheng.”
They were going to fly to Jiangjing from Beicheng.
The college entrance examination would end tomorrow.
“I can’t come back tomorrow,” Ji Shaojun pondered slightly, “let’s leave on the 9th in the afternoon.”
The 9th was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Ji Shaojun wanted to have a meal with Ji Heng before he left.
The butler was silent for a long time. He pressed against his brow, his eyebrows soaked in numerous weathered experiences now revealing his age, “That’s fine. How did your niece do on the exam?”
“I don’t know,” Ji Shaojun rinsed vegetables with one hand, his voice lightening a bit, “We heard the math problems were too difficult, so we didn’t ask her about it.”
The butler was merely making a polite inquiry, and he was not surprised to hear Ji Shaojun respond in that way, “If possible, I still hope you can return before the Dragon Boat Festival.”

The following day, the last two exams.
Comprehensive science and English, there was no hardest, only harder.
In the afternoon, the last exam, English.
In the examination room, after Bai Lian finished writing the last word of her English essay, after double-checking the questions, and after confirming her multiple-choice answers on the answer sheet were correct,
she just looked at the black pen in her hand.
She didn’t have many fancy pens. This was the pen she had been using since her senior year of high school, the refill changed countless times, its black casing had already lost its shine.
Bai Lian set aside her answer sheet and capped her pen.
At the same time, in the examination room at School No. 3,
Yang Lin also finished the last sentence. She drew a period at the end of her essay, and as the sunlight from outside fell on her exam paper, Yang Lin appeared somewhat dazed.
She had struggled for twelve years, studied hard for twelve years, seemingly all for this very moment.
Five o’clock.
The bell rang, symbolizing the end of the most important exam of the senior students’ lives, but their journey in life was only just beginning.
After handing in her exam paper and answer sheet, Bai Lian followed the flow of people out.
It was earlier than the usual end of class, and the sunlight was slightly glaring. Bai Lian carried her pencil case lazily through the crowd.
Under the tree at the school gate.
Jiang Fulai wore a loose short-sleeve shirt and stood casually under the tree, looking somewhat relaxed.
After which, she stayed in the prayer hall the whole time. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
