"Is that so? Your dad will be waiting!" Even though dad appeared to believe my words, he knew his son better than anyone else. He was half convinced in his heart.
"Yes, yes. Dad, don't worry! Your son won't let you down! I still want you, me, and mom to live a happy life! I promise." I patted my chest and swore.
"En, en, it seems that you've grown up! This way, no matter how hard and tired mom and I are, it's worth it! Come, let's go home for dinner. I've been tired all morning. I'm hungry!”When dad saw my reply, he naturally felt very gratified. As a parent, who wouldn't want to become a dragon? As the saying went,"Wishing for your son to become a dragon" probably meant this.
"Let's go! Time to eat!" After receiving my father's instructions, I excitedly helped him carry his hoe and rushed home.
Just as I walked to the backyard of my house, I smelled a very fragrant smell. It was also a very familiar smell. When I smelled this smell when I was young, I knew that it must be my mother's cooking skills again. From this smell, I quickly knew that this was a 'hard dish' because it had the smell of meat. When I was young, my family was poor, so I could only taste it during the New Year. Now that the whole society was about to enter a well-off society, I could eat it without adding meat. However, I've also developed a habit of saving money. Unless it's the New Year or the holidays, I basically only have simple meals!
"Mom, what delicious food are you eating now? It smells so good!" After putting down the hoe, I rushed to the kitchen to investigate.
"Seeing that you two have worked so hard, I specially went to the market to buy some meat that no one else can sell to reward you two!”This was the first time Mom had seen her so generous. However, when I heard the words 'meat that others can't sell', my heart was filled with mixed feelings. It was as if the sea was overturned. However, I was still very happy on the surface. After all, it was mushy.
"Mom, did the sun rise from the west today? Usually, you're reluctant to sell your meat!”I teased my mom mischievously.
"You brat, when did you learn to mock your mother? Why don't you think about who Mom is saving for? It's for this family. You should be content! Don't buy it after getting a bargain!" My mom said straightforwardly, leaving me speechless and ashamed. She could only smile and say,"Mom is right!" My son has learned his lesson!"
" Ring ring ring…ring…" The phone in my study suddenly rang. I was too busy talking to my mom to hear it. Luckily, my dad was watching TV in the living room.
" Mingqiu, your phone!"
"Oh, it's here!" When I heard my father say that it was my call, I asked,"At this time, he would call me. Could it be her?" I once wished that it was 'her', so I couldn't wait to sneak into my room.
The phone on the desk kept vibrating. I held my breath and gently picked up the phone." Teacher." I knew what it was. It must be about the college entrance examination.
"Hello, Old Ban!" I picked up the phone and didn't dare to neglect it. After all, the college entrance examination was the main thing.
"Is it Mingqiu?" A deep male voice sounded from the other end. This is the voice of our Old Ban.
"It's me! Did Old Ban get the results of the college entrance examination?”Right now, I was most concerned about the results of the college entrance examination, so I didn't even have time to greet our boss. He directly asked him about the college entrance examination results.
"Yes, yes. I called to tell you about my college entrance examination results!……”
Before the boss could finish, I impatiently continued,"The results are really out!" Although I had already guessed it, I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart. Although I knew that I did well in the exam, I couldn't control my heartbeat at the moment.
"Don't be agitated. Young people have to be steady to do great things!”When he heard my excitement, he naturally lectured me. I have to say that my teacher was very responsible.
"Yes…I've learned my lesson. Teacher, you go first!”After being lectured by Old Ban, it was really useful. I wasn't as excited as before, and my mood slowly recovered.
"Mingqiu, you did well this time! It could be said that all the teachers were surprised! I didn't expect you to lose a group of dark horses! We didn't expect you to do so well!”Old Ban, who was originally very calm, was very excited as he spoke.
"Teacher, you flatter me. I just tried my best!”Being able to do well was already within my expectations, so I was more concerned about the specific scores.
"En, en, you're very calm! I'll have to hand it to you if you can still be so calm after I report my scores!”Old Ban actually made a joke with me for the first time. Usually, in my eyes, Old Ban is a very strict person.
"Teacher, please speak!" It would be a lie to say that he was not excited. Before the scores were out, everything was unknown and full of variables.
"Your actual score this time is 695 points, plus your ethnic score of 20 points, your total score is 715 points! First place in the city! You're also the first student in our school in the city!”After the introduction, the boss became even more excited. He looked even happier than I was.
"Old Ban, do you think I'll get a reward for coming in first?”After hearing the score, I wasn't as happy as I thought, because the score was comparable to my estimated score. I'm more concerned about the rewards now.

"Old Ban, do you think I'll get a reward for coming in first?”After hearing the score, I wasn't as happy as I thought, because the score was comparable to my estimated score. I'm more concerned about the rewards now.
"When did you become so powerful?”I don't care about my name and breakup, but I care about whether there's a reward. Old Ban was really furious.
"Err…Old Ban, I was just asking. Please don't take it to heart!”Actually, I wanted to say,"If you don't see it, you'll be punished by heaven and earth." However, I swallowed it back because of Old Ban.
"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. After the scores are out, we will start filling in your application in a week. Don't be arrogant, kid. It's best if you take a look at the application guide book. It might give you some guidance! There are plenty of people who do well but fail in the end. Kid, don't fail miserably!”The boss reminded her again patiently.
" Old Xie Ban, this student will remember this!" Hearing Old Ban's concern for me, I immediately stopped joking and replied seriously.
"En en, alright, that's it! I still have to report the results to the other students. If there's anything you don't understand, you can call me!”After saying that, I didn't even have a chance to speak. The sound of toot phone being hung up came from the phone, making me look helpless. After all, it was my old class. They were always so swift and decisive in doing things.
I stood there in a daze and was about to put down the phone when the phone rang again. I was still immersed in the joy from before and actually forgot to answer the phone. It was only when the other party called for the second time that I returned to reality from my endless joy.
I thought about it and muttered,"Who is it? I haven't eaten yet!"”，Although I was complaining, I still picked up the phone symbolically and looked at it for a bit. If it was an unfamiliar number, I would have hung up. In this day and age, telephone scams were everywhere, so I didn't have the mood to chat with strangers.
Coincidentally, the caller ID on the phone continued my joy. There was no other reason, because the caller was really my 'her'. After calming down, I dared to answer the call."Hey!" Although I had calmed down quite a bit, I still couldn't hide the excitement in my heart. I couldn't say anything else, and could only say a simple 'hey'.
"Hello, is this Mingqiu?" Shangguan Mingyue was the most particular. The daughter of a wealthy family was indeed different. Her every word and action showed the extraordinary temperament of a wealthy family's daughter. He's not as rash as me.
"Yes, yes, it's me!" I was so excited that I chose to ask and answer. I had no choice but to do this, but I always kept the extra words in my heart. It was very uncomfortable.
"Have you checked the results? The college entrance examination results are out today!" Shangguan Mingyue's voice was like a melodious copper bell, refreshing one's heart and mind. What was worse was that the other party actually cared about me so much that he specially called to tell me. I'm flattered.
Despite my excitement, I still maintained my last 'battleground' and a trace of clarity.""Not yet. I'm at home and there's no internet. You know that I'm still using an old phone! I'll go to the city to investigate tomorrow!" I chose to hide my results in order to maintain a bit of mystery. I just want to hear his results.
" I see, how about..." Shangguan Mingyue said after knowing the truth, but she stopped halfway. He seemed to feel that this trip was inappropriate.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something to say!”I pretended not to know anything and reminded him. As smart as I was, I actually guessed what Shangguan Mingyue wanted to say. He just wanted to say that he would help me investigate. But halfway through, I felt that this was related to my privacy and account security. In the end, I chose not to say it. Although I had good intentions, we had only known each other for less than a year, and it had only been two days.
"Uh, that's all…By the way, do you still remember our bet?”The daughter of a wealthy family had a high EQ. She resolved the sudden awkwardness so easily.
"Of course I remember. Speaking of which, are you so confident that you can take me down?”I'm still a little confident in my score. After all, I'm the city's top scorer with 715 points.
"I think I have a 60% chance of winning against you!”From Shangguan Mingyue's words, it wasn't hard to tell that this girl must have done well in the exams. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken so confidently. Perhaps because of my consideration, the other party didn't say anything full. He only said that it was 60%.
"Is that so? Then can you curse and surprise me with your score!”I played hard to get.
"I'm just afraid that when the time comes, I won't be surprised, but surprised. First of all, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your heart?”Shangguan Mingyue said playfully.
"Don't worry, my heart is strong! This damage is not enough to reach me!" Naturally, I wasn't willing to be outdone. I directly patted my chest and promised.
"Alright, open your ears and listen carefully! I'll only say it once. My actual score this time is 695 points, plus my ethnic score of 20 points, my total score is 715 points! She was also the top scorer in Lin 'an City's science department! How was it? Were you frightened? "Hehe…" Shangguan Mingyue didn't keep him in suspense any longer and directly revealed her results.
(If you want to know what happens after that, see the next chapter!)）。
