The high school examination results weren’t too bad this time, and even received praise from the higher-ups.
The teachers were both happy and a bit depressed.
They had thought that Yu Yaxian and Song Qiming would make it onto the list.
Who would have guessed that during the official exam, both of them failed, but some unexpected students scored high.
It seems that next year, the emphasis must be on academics; romantic relationships are still a no-go in school.
When Yue Jiannan just arrived outside the school, he saw the honor roll posted at the school gate.
His name was strikingly prominent on it.
This was not just the honor roll posted under the teaching building before.
More entries without added cost, ensuring that the names could be seen clearly from hundreds of meters away.
Yue Jiannan was extremely pleased and admiringly watched it for a while.
He almost wished he could rent a point-and-shoot camera from the nearby photo studio and capture this moment on film.
As Old Zhang, the gatekeeper, happened to come out for a smoke, he immediately laughed upon seeing Yue Jiannan.
"Oh, isn’t this our college student?"
Yue Jiannan chuckled twice and scratched his head, "I haven’t started college yet, just received the admission notice."
"It was bound to happen." Old Zhang boasted, "I always knew you could do it. When I was young, I learned face-reading from a blind man in the village—you can tell from your looks and demeanor that you’re bound for great things."
Yue Jiannan consciously ignored the point about learning face-reading from a blind man, grinning from ear to ear.
"You really know how to judge people."
After chatting for quite a while, Yue Jiannan reluctantly entered the campus and headed towards the staff building.
Even though the entrance exams were over, there was still the sound of students studying in the campus.
Mainly from the students who would be upcoming seniors after Yue Jiannan’s graduation—they had to continue studying during the vacation.
Now, as he returned to the campus, Yue Jiannan’s mindset was profoundly different.
Thinking back to his school days just two months ago, it almost felt like another lifetime.
Yue Jiannan was deep in thought when suddenly someone called out to him.
Turning his head, it was the girl named Lin Yushan.
She seemed a bit surprised and a beautiful smile blossomed on her lips.
Could this be the admiration from a younger student?
Feeling proud of his academic halo, Yue Jiannan unwittingly spoke with a mentor’s benevolent aura.
"Taking a break between classes? You’ll be a senior soon; you must work hard."
Lin Yushan blinked and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Jiannan, you sound so mature" just like an old dad at home.
Yue Jiannan’s attempt to act cool failed, and he coughed awkwardly after touching his nose.
Lin Yushan asked, "What brings you to school today?"
"I’m here to deliver invitations; my mom wants to hold a thanksgiving banquet for the teachers."
The girl nodded, a touch of melancholy in her eyes.
"You’re heading to the provincial city for college soon, Jiannan."
Yue Jiannan, oblivious to the girl’s feelings, continued chuckling and nodding.
"Yeah, it’s a pity that college doesn’t start until two months from now, I’m already bored at home every day."
The bell rang for class.
Yue Jiannan waved his hand, "Go on to class, I’ll go deliver these invitations."
Lin Yushan watched Yue Jiannan’s figure, then suddenly made up her mind.
Yue Jiannan turned back, puzzled, looking at Lin Yushan.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yushan then shouted boldly, "I will also try my best to get into a university in the provincial city."
Yue Jiannan gave a thumbs up, showing eight shining teeth.
"Then you really have to work hard!"
He walked away, cheerfully wondering, is his academic halo really that dazzling?
Accidentally becoming a role model for a younger student.
It’s really a bit embarrassing! (Not really)
