“Rather than spreading rumors about me, why don't you just study to be better at the college entrance exam? Move!” Ye Tianxin replied.
Ye Tianxin had anticipated this from them, but not this kind of gossip. It was a low blow. He didn't think that they would be so evil.
'There is nothing I hide. I did nothing wrong, Ye Tianxin thought.
'Why should I bother about these girls? I had to set my sights on something deeper and work harder. These girls will likely end up in regular college, study general majors, and get married when they are old enough. My life is definitely, and will be, different from theirs.’
Ye Tianxin was still trying to adjust. He just returned from the capital. This is his first class.
When the class ended, Di Shanshi handed over the notes she had taken. "Tianxin, you can read this," he told Ye Tianxin.
"thank you. But I'm fine," Ye Tianxin refused. However, Di Shanshi grabbed his wrist and insisted, “I've highlighted the key points. Over Here. Look." Look."
"I will definitely be better than him in the exam," Ye Tianxin assured Di Shanshi with a faint smile. Di Shanshi was not sure what to do against Ye Tianxin. Although he convinced her to fared better than Ye Youran, Ye Tianxin somewhat seemed alarming.
It was impossible for him to defeat Ye Youran in the exam because he had been absent from the class for a long time.
“All the best for you then!” Di Shanshi encouraged her before she let go of her wrist and went to the bike shed.
As Di Shanshi walked into the warehouse, he could still feel the warmth of Ye Tianxin's hand. He then touched his face. He felt as if Ye Tianxin was caressing his face. She smiles.
“I've fallen in love with him. It's a strange feeling. Who would have thought? I was shocked myself,” he realized.
Ye Tianxin heard the sound of a car horn as she walked out of the school. "Tianxin, over here!" a voice shouted.
"Sister Jing, why are you here?" He was shocked to see Jing Zhichen. "I can go home by myself."
“I happened to be around this area this afternoon. Come on, we're home!” he invites.
Ye Tianxin then opened the passenger seat door and got into the car. After he put his seat belt on, the car drove.
When his classmates saw this, they could not help but gossip amongst themselves. They were jealous of Ye Tianxin, because she had the Prince Charming. These girls had dreamed of a prince who would sweep them over. He will love and cherish them as if they were the most precious treasures on earth. He will give them the best things in the world and he will only pay attention to them.
When they saw Jing Zhichen, he ticked all the right boxes. A girl confusedly commented, "The guy looks so handsome!"
Jing Zhichen was indeed born with good looks.
"Is that the Maybach he's driving?" comments of a boy.
"Why? Is it expensive?” ask a curious girl.
“I think the price is expensive. I'm not sure, but maybe millions of dollars,” replied another boy. Everyone is muttering. “So it's a luxury car and it costs a few million dollars. That's great!” The mood seems to change.
Many of them lost sleep that night, as they could not stop thinking about Jing Zhichen.
Tonight was an unusually agitated day for Ye Youran, as tomorrow would be a critical day for her.
“I will humiliate Ye Tianxin with my grades and use them to prove to her what a true curve crusher should look like. I'll make him do s*ksi dance in front of all the students,” he's planning.
The next day, Ye Tianxin could feel something strange about the way her classmates looked at her when she entered the classroom. It was as if there was something on his face.
As she sat in her chair, a female classmate walked up to her and whispered, "Ye Tianxin, I'm sorry for what I did yesterday. I shouldn't have said that about you.”
Ye Tianxin was shocked. He didn't respond. He thought it was weird of his classmates to do that.
"Why is he apologizing to me?"he wonders.
"Did something happen yesterday?" Ye Tianxin asked, and her classmate blushed.
“In the ladies toilet..,” muttered his classmate.
“Oh, you mean that? I don't hold a grudge. I choose to focus on the important things,” Ye Tianxin replied casually.
His classmates covered his face with his hands and then left. She felt ashamed.
Ye Tianxin then prepared her pen and paper for the exam. He made sure everything was ready.
Since it was a mock exam, it would be done as if it were a formal college entrance exam.
Senior students are directed to each class, and two supervisors are assigned to each class.
The supervisor is not the homeroom guardian for senior students, but a transfer teacher from a high school and elementary school in the city.
Ye Tianxin had already received her number yesterday when the class was over. When he realized that it was almost time for the exam, he walked into the third grade for the second grade student, who had been assigned to him.
Ye Tianxin's chair was located close to the window, and there was a fig tree outside that almost covered the entire window. Every time the wind blew, the leaves would emit a rustling sound.
On the first day, he would take a language exam in the morning, followed by math in the afternoon. The next day, he would take an English exam in the morning, followed by physics and chemistry in the afternoon.
When Ye Tianxin was in the capital, she had been mentored by Li Qingcang, who was a straight-A student. He learns that he should always start with the easiest questions, and he is quick at solving problems.
When he had finished the question and checked the answer once more, convinced that there was no mistake in the answer, he handed over the paper.
After Ye Tianxin finished her exam, she went to the field where her classmates gathered to check their answers.
Di Shanshi commented, “You better be careful then. The weight of the written composition is high.”
Li Xiaohui sat on the ground and covered his face with a language textbook as he lamented, “I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so nervous, and my palms sweat a lot.”
Li Xiaohui's grades were always average.
"What about you? How do you think you're gonna be in the exam?” he asked Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin replied, “I think it can be arranged. It's not easy, but it's not too difficult if you learn.”
In fact, Ye Tianxin felt that he had done quite well since he had attempted to answer many questions from the previous tests and thus finding the questions in the mock exam was easy.
“It's good then. You have no idea how worried I am for you.” Li Xiaohui drew closer to Ye Tianxin and said, “Ye Youran looked very relaxed and proud when she walked out of the classroom just now. Almost as if he had it in a.” bag
“Don't mind him. We should study for the math exam in the afternoon,” Ye Tianxin reminded.
Li Xiaohui looked even more distressed when he mentioned this and*rang, “That's even worse. I can't math!”
To rub salt into his wound, Di Shanshi chimed in, "You shouldn't have chosen a science major."
“But I have to memorize a lot of things if I want to study liberal arts. My memory is as good as a goldfish. It only lasted for three seconds! I'm very bad at remembering things" he lamented.
Li Xiaohui knew the important role of the college entrance examination in determining one's fate. He was so angry that he wanted to cry.
But he knows that this is the best he can do and it will be very difficult for him to achieve good grades.
"Tianxin, do you think I should try to enroll in film school as well?" she asked.
Ye Tianxin looked at Li Xiaohui and replied, “This year's registration window for the Film Academy and Drama Academy has closed. You can take the entrance exam next year if you really want to study there.”
"Next year?" Li Xiaohui*rang and looked rather annoyed.
Ye Tianxin then reminded, “In addition, the tuition fee for the Film Academy is quite high. In terms of job prospects, you can only work in the entertainment industry. Every year, many people entered the entertainment industry of the capital, so it would be difficult to surpass the others. You have to work hard and be willing to endure hardships. Can you do that?”
“Can I enter the entertainment industry if I am not in college?” Xiaohui asked.
“Yes, there is almost no limit to enter. But if you want to be an actress, you have to rely on your network. If you graduate high school, you may only be able to help crew members with assignments. However, if you are going to graduate from the Film Academy or the Drama Academy, your senior can guide you. They might even recommend you for a small role,” explains Ye Tianxin.
Li Xiaohui looked at Ye Tianxin with admiration and exclaimed, "Wow, Tianxin, you are truly knowledgeable!"
"I went looking for him because I was interested in the Film Academy," Ye Tianxin lied.
'There's no way I can tell Li Xiaohui that I've signed on for a film and will start filming soon.
“Then, I will think about what I want to do in the future,” Li Xiaohui decided, and she was worried thinking about how the college exam would mark a turning point in her life.
In the next test, Li Xiaohui felt even more annoyed that many of the questions that appeared in the newspaper had been explained by their previous teacher, yet he did not know how to answer them. It was as if his brain had turned into mush.
On the other hand, Ye Tianxin was completely relaxed and did not seem to have any difficulty with the questions in the examination.
After their last paper, Ye Youran walked up to Ye Tianxin and reminded him, “Ye Tianxin, I think you should learn the rabbit dance. Otherwise, it would be a shame if you can't dance well, agree right?”
Ye Tianxin felt like rolling her eyes at Ye Youran's confidence but she replied calmly, "Thank you, but you don't have to worry about me. I just hope no one should eat his words when the exam results are released.”
“Come back to you!” Ye Youran snorted before she grabbed her bag and left.
Ye Tianxin also took her bag and prepared to go home. He didn't come home last night. Because of that, she was really worried about her grandmother.
Fortunately, under the tutelage of Jing Zhichen and his guards, Ye Tianxin's grandmother was fine. His skin also looked much better than before since they returned to Jiameng City.
However, her grandmother's hair still hasn't grown, and she also looks thin, as it takes time to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
When Ye Tianxin arrived home, her grandmother was with Jing Zhichen and they were talking under a pear tree in the courtyard.
"Tianxin, you're back!" Grandma welcomes.
Jing Zhichen then walked over to help her with her school bag. He noticed how heavy it was.
"Sister Jing," said Ye Tianxin.
"The cherries in Jiameng City are very sweet," he said.
Jing Zhichen came on the right season when cherries were plentiful. These cherries are difficult to store, as they are thin and bruise easily. So, this was the first time Jing Zhichen had eaten such a fresh meal.
There was a cherry tree in the backyard of Ye Tianxin's house, and there were small, juicy cherries, peppered all over the branches.
“Eat again if you like!” Ye Tianxin urged. “If you do not eat them, they will be useless when they fall and rot.”
Jing Zhichen felt uneasy at the thought of how this delicious cherry was wasted just like that after bruising and rotting.
“Later, there will be a lot of cherry supply in the market. I will make you cherry wine then," Ye Tianxin offered.
