After the college entrance examination ended, it was Su Jiu’s turn to take the final exams. As a result, she returned to the capital within a few days and immersed herself in the preparations for her final exams.
When the end-of-term examinations finished, what Su Jiu looked forward to the most was not the summer vacation, but the little villain’s college entrance examination results.
She was waiting for his name to appear on the school’s honor roll as the top scholar!
She waited day after day for the results to be announced.
When Su Jiu saw that the exam results were out, she immediately gave Rong Si a call. When he picked up, she excitedly asked, “Hello? Big Brother!”
The youth said in a low voice, “It’s me.”
Su Jiu was too excited and did not notice the weirdness in his tone. She excitedly asked, “Big Brother, how did you do? You must be the top scorer this year, right?!”
There was a long silence on the other end.
“Big Brother?” Su Jiu sensed that something was wrong. Her smile froze, and her heart suddenly became nervous. She suddenly had a bad premonition.
After a while, Rong Si’s deep voice came from the other end. He seemed to have difficulty speaking. “I’m not the top scorer.”
Not the top scorer?
This was out of Su Jiu’s expectations. However, she was only shocked for a few seconds before she recovered. She smiled and said, “Even if you are not the top scorer, you still did very well, right? Big Brother, you have always been very good. I knew that even if you were to take the college entrance examination, you would still do very well. You can start choosing schools next!
“There are quite a few top universities in the capital, but if you don’t want to go back to the capital to study, there are also many top universities in the south. You can continue to study in the south. In the future, I can go to the south too and become your junior!”
The little girl was immersed in her thoughts as she talked non-stop. She sounded so cheerful.
However, on the other end, Rong Si indeed tightened his grip on the phone in his hand. His thin lips were pursed so tightly that he almost bit his lip.
His face was as pale as paper.
Beside him, Song Wanqiu’s face was also pale, and her lips were trembling.
What had Rong Si said just now? She hadn’t heard a single word. She only thought about the phone call they had received about the results.
After learning that the results for the college entrance examination were out, Song Wanqiu had been as excited as Little Jiu. She had immediately asked Rong Si to call and check the results. She thought that the high scores were a sure thing, but unexpectedly, the results were completely out of her expectations and also out of Rong Si’s.
Rong Si should have scored over 700 points for the college entrance examination, which had a perfect score of 750. However, he was informed over the phone that he had only scored 500 points, which was a full 200 points lower than expected!
Such a score was only enough for second-grade schools. There was no need to think about the top universities, this would not reach even their cutoff score.
This was impossible, absolutely impossible!
Song Wanqiu refused to believe it. She suspected that the information was wrong and asked Rong Si to check again.
However, he was still told that he had only scored 500 points.
How could this be?
Song Wanqiu was dumbfounded on the spot as if she had been hit. Her mind was buzzing, and she couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.
Naturally, Rong Si did not believe it either. He clearly remembered that he knew the answers to those questions and thought that they were very simple. It was impossible that he scored so low.
Impossible!
He checked twice more and received the same answer.
Rong Si’s mind turned blank, and his face gradually lost its color.
He had been full of hope that he would be the top scorer and become the pride of his mother and Little Jiu. He had never expected that the reality would be so harsh!
