She heard someone calling him on the other end, so she immediately said, "You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will handle it well."
"Okay, I trust you. Then I’m leaving, Little, take care."
"Brother Xinian, take care, you must also be well."
After hanging up the phone, Chiang Xiao felt somewhat at a loss.
She had been looking forward to meeting him during this trip, and it was unexpected that they wouldn’t meet after all.
Ah spit, how could they not meet? They would just meet after a year!
Chiang Xiao shook her head lightly.
She arrived at the station and got on the bus to the county town with her grandparents as planned.
In Peace Town, it really was inconvenient; they had to go to the county town to take the train to the provincial city.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Chiang Xiao walked out of the examination room with a very light backpack on her back.
The middle school entrance exam had ended, and she suddenly felt a great sense of relief.
"Chiang Xiao, Chiang Xiao!"
A teacher waved at her. Chiang Xiao approached and asked, "Teacher, did you want to see me?"
"It’s not me who’s looking for you; Principal Chu is looking for you. He asked me to call you to his office when I saw you come out," the teacher said, with admiration in his eyes as he looked at Chiang Xiao.
During each test over the past three days, Chiang Xiao had been the first one out, including the last one.
There were still fifteen minutes left until it was over.
Now teachers were privately speculating whether Chiang Xiao would take the title of top scholar in their town’s middle school entrance exam.
Throughout eighth grade, Chiang Xiao had indeed left her classmates, who were two to three years older, far behind.
In every exam, she secured a firm first place!
Moreover, she had represented their middle school in the county town for two competitions previously and had brought back first place awards, first places in the entire county.
The name Chiang Xiao had already spread throughout all the schools in the county.
Looking at Chiang Xiao’s retreating figure, the teacher couldn’t help envying her. If he had a daughter like that, he’d wake up from his dreams laughing!
When he thought of Chiang Xiao’s home situation, he couldn’t help wondering, what kind of parents could bear to abandon such a bright daughter?
Chiang Xiao arrived at Principal Chu’s office, who was on a call and gestured for her to sit down.
After sitting down, Chiang Xiao’s eyes unintentionally swept across the desk and saw a recruitment flyer for Peace Town’s No. 4 Middle School.
She somewhat understood why Principal Chu had called her here.
However, hadn’t the school already sent in the application?
"Okay, okay, I understand; sure, I will give you a call back once there’s a result," Principal Chu said as he returned the receiver, smiling at Chiang Xiao and then glancing at his watch.
"What, did you come out fifteen minutes early again?"
Chiang Xiao nodded and said very honestly, "After I finished the test, I carefully reviewed my answers twice, Principal Chu. Don’t worry, there was no carelessness."
Principal Chu shook his head with laughter, "You, of all the students in this school, are the one I’m least worried about; your consistency in performance is almost unbelievable."
Chiang Xiao felt that her improved memory and understanding were definitely related to her long-term drinking of Spirit Spring Water.
Her studies now were more relaxed than in her previous life. She didn’t spend much time studying, just paid attention during class, and hardly reviewed after class. After all, she had many other things to do, but her performance was still much better than in her previous life.
This must be because of the Spiritual Spring Water.
So Chiang Xiao remained quite humble at school. She felt that she had an unfair advantage with the ability to "cheat" and that it was inappropriate to show off when she already had an edge.
