Chapter 535: 215 National Top Scorer (Second Update)_2

She showed some hesitation, “Maybe you shouldn’t go up?”

Jiang Fulai pursed his lips, lowered his gaze, and his pale pupils were always cold; he looked at her without saying a word.

He always had that refined but distant demeanor, yet his ink-dyed brows and eyes now seemed to carry a hint of accusation. Bai Lian paused, “Never mind, if you want to come up, then come up.”

The Xiangcheng Building was very long, with countless steps.

It would take two hours to reach the end.

But for Bai Lian, it was as easy as walking on level ground; she could run it eight hundred times without gasping for breath.

After walking a section of the stairs, Bai Lian checked on Jiang Fulai, noting that aside from slower footsteps, his breathing was almost unchanged before she eased her mind. However, she still slowed her pace, chatting with him while walking towards the middle.

It was past five in the afternoon.

The two finally reached the top of the city wall.

At this time, the sun had not set, but around the bright red sun, the clouds had already been dyed in various colors.

Bai Lian propped her hands on the city wall and looked up at the sunset over the mountains, her black hair somewhat disheveled by the wind.

Her posture was casual and relaxed, her gaze facing the wind, “The sunset glow here is really nice,” she commented.

Jiang Fulai removed his cap, lazily resting one hand on the wall. His simple, clean clothes were worn with a cold elegance. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her, he looked in the direction she was looking at. His back was straight, yet his demeanor was relaxed, always exuding an effortless nobility, “Indeed, it’s not bad.”

Bai Lian glanced at him and then smiled.

Bai Li didn’t leave a corpse behind.

The enemy had taken his body away.

Bai Zhongyu had been the top scholar in both the regional and provincial examinations. Chen Ye had jokingly asked him if he was aiming for the honor of top scholar in the national examination as well, to ride a horse down the street in celebration. Unfortunately, just before the final examination, he received news of Bai Li and rushed to Xiangcheng to take over Bai Li’s position.

Bai Zhongyu said that the yellow sands beneath Xiangcheng were where Bai Li lay buried.

Bai Lian believed him.

Neither of them spoke again.

The sunset gradually reddened the sky, the light pouring over them, causing Bai Lian’s skirt to flutter in the breeze.

In front of them was the sunset, and beneath their feet the city wall.

It was like a richly colored oil painting.

Many people came to Xiangcheng Building to check in, but few ever reached the highest point.

Only a few girls not far away; they were a bit tired and sat cross-legged in a skewed position, facing the direction ahead.

“They both look so good.” The girl sitting in the middle couldn’t take her eyes off the young man and woman standing at the very edge of the city wall, sighing in admiration.

On June 26, the scores for the students blocked from the college entrance examination were released.

The fervor over the college entrance examination scores had already passed.

The media had finished reporting everything that needed to be reported, but at this moment, the top universities around the country were tense.

Especially Beicheng High School.

The principal hadn’t even gotten out of bed when he received a call from Director Pan of the Education Bureau, who urged him on the phone, “Why are you still sleeping? I’m already at the school!”

The principal, having been excited all night, had just fallen asleep when the phone awoke him.

He got up to check the time on his phone; it was only five o’clock.

Understanding Director Pan’s feelings, and since the principal couldn’t sleep either, he simply got up, washed his face, took his keys, and went to the school.

Director Pan was already waiting by the conference room door, “Where is Teacher Lu? Why hasn’t she arrived yet? The head of the bureau and the others are waiting for me to report the scores of Bai Lian and Ning Xiao.”

Beicheng High School was being quietly isolated by other schools.

Fortunately, the overall results of this exam were good. If either Bai Lian or Ning Xiao secured the top provincial ranking, all the difficulties would be resolved, and the peak moment for Xiangcheng’s education would arrive.

“Don’t worry,” the principal turned on the lights and boiled a pot of water, “I have already notified Teacher Lu.”

Lu Lingxi was rushed over by several calls from the principal.

She was the homeroom teacher of Bai Lian and Ning Xiao, and their ID cards and admission tickets were in her possession.

When Lu Lingxi arrived, the homeroom teachers of Class 8 and Tang Ming’s class were already there.

On the 26th, there was less traffic on the score checking website, and it was no longer lagging. As soon as Lu Lingxi arrived, she saw the scores displayed on the computer screen of Class 8’s homeroom teacher; they belonged to Chen Zhu.

Name: Chen Zhu

Subject: Score, National Ranking

Chinese: 127

Mathematics: 121

English: 132

Science: 258

Total: 648

Provincial Ranking: 41

National Ranking: 1189

As it was the college entrance examination scores, there was no school ranking, but a provincial rank of 41 and a national rank within a thousand had already broken Xiangcheng’s historical record.
