After chatting and laughing at the school gate for a while, the class monitor Mu Nan led everyone through the school gate towards the computer room in the comprehensive building.
At this time, the junior and senior students on campus were still in class.
Along the way, they could hear the sound of orderly reading from the teaching buildings from time to time.
It had only been less than a month, but returning to this familiar campus, everyone felt a sense of strange distance.
“Why do I feel like I’m already starting to miss it a little.”
“Same here. I was so exhausted with studying before, wishing I could be done with the college entrance exam as soon as possible. Now I’m a little reluctant to leave. It’s so strange!”
“Heh heh, then you can choose to repeat the year. No need to be reluctant, you can come back as many times as you want!”
“Get lost, is that what a human says?”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone around burst into laughter.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan also couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Class monitor, it seems like someone is missing today. Are any of our classmates repeating the year?”
Behind Mu Nan, a girl asked curiously.
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze immediately focused on the class monitor.
“Yes, there are!”
Mu Nan nodded with a smile and added, “But there seem to be only two people repeating the year. As for those who are absent, some have gone on trips, and some don’t want to come and are choosing to fill out their college applications at home!”
“Who’s repeating the year? Didn’t our class all do pretty well?”
Someone else inquired again.
“Xu Ying didn’t do well on the exam. When I called, her mother said they were planning for her to repeat the year. And there’s Qian Sheng, who said he’s preparing to study like Zhang Peng and try hard for another year to get into a university.”
Mu Nan replied.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, and several gazes turned towards Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan.
After Qin Tian’s study group became the center of Class Ten, Xu Ying, who had a strong presence in the class, gradually became an outsider.
Everyone knew very well that the turning point for all this began with Qin Tian forcefully standing up for Xia Nuannuan that day.
In this college entrance examination, most of the students in Class Ten had good results. Regardless of the score, at least they were satisfied with the outcome and had no regrets.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as Xu Ying, who did not post her college entrance examination scores in the group chat, which might be one of them.
Qin Tian was also quite surprised.
He didn't remember how Xu Ying performed in the college entrance examination the previous time before his rebirth, nor did he pay attention to it.
However, in his memory, Xu Ying should not have repeated the year.
Because when everyone later attended the class monitor’s wedding banquet, Xu Ying had mentioned this when showing off her rich second-generation boyfriend. At that time, a girl in the class, who was in the same university as her, had expressed envy for her and her boyfriend’s relationship.
Despite his surprise, Qin Tian didn’t pay much attention to it. What concerned him more was Qian Sheng.
Zhang Peng had mentioned that Qian Sheng’s score wasn’t bad compared to his previous self, but it was still not enough to reach the undergraduate cutoff. If he wanted to study, he could only go to a vocational college.
He didn’t expect him to prepare to repeat the year as well.
However, Zhang Peng hadn’t arrived yet, so he couldn’t confirm this.
Amidst the idle chat, everyone soon arrived at the computer room in the comprehensive building.
Old Li, the 'King of Hell,' was already waiting at the entrance of the computer room. Seeing their large group approaching, he showed a rare smile on his face.
“Old Li, are you sure you’re not a fake, Li Laoshi’s twin brother?”
A usually lively boy in the class suddenly questioned loudly.
“Haha…”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
The smile on Old Li’s face instantly vanished. He glared sternly at the boy and beckoned, “Come here!”
The boy shook his head like a rattle drum and grinned, “This is the real Old Li!”
The classmates laughed even more heartily.
“Enough nonsense, time is short, everyone get in quickly!”
Li Xueping urged with a stern face.
Everyone responded and entered the computer room to grab computers.
“Each person gets one computer. First, open the college application website and fill it out according to what you and your parents have discussed. Pay attention to the university codes and major codes, and don’t fill them in incorrectly. Be serious about this, filling out college applications is very important. If you have any questions, raise your hand and ask me.”
Li Xueping stood at the front with his hands behind his back, speaking loudly to everyone.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan sat in the same row. After opening their computers, they looked at each other and smiled.
The schools and majors they were going to apply for had already been decided, and there would be no changes.
That’s right, they were both applying for the same major, Economics, one of Jiang University’s flagship programs.
They had already discussed this with their parents.
Qin Tian’s mother didn’t understand these things and just said she trusted him and told him to decide after he had thought it through himself.
Xia Nuannuan’s parents were a bit more knowledgeable. Her father even knew that the Economics major was a flagship program with the same long history as Jiang University, and he strongly supported his daughter’s decision to apply for this major.
After opening the website, Qin Tian took out a small slip of paper from his pocket, which recorded his exam admission ticket number, the college application website, university and major codes, and other information. He began to operate according to what was on it.
Beside him, Xia Nuannuan also held an identical slip of paper.
This was what she had helped prepare.
Except for the differences in personal information such as their exam admission ticket numbers and ID numbers, everything else on the slips was the same.
As the two of them quietly entered their information, Old Li quietly came to Qin Tian’s side.
After glancing at the codes on the slip in his hand, Old Li casually asked, “Still decided to go to Jiang University?”
He was very concerned about which school and major Qin Tian would choose, and had called Qin Tian’s mother several times about it.
He was actually quite regretful that Qin Tian had decided not to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, as those two schools could be considered sacred places in the hearts of all students in China.
Of course, since Qin Tian’s attitude was firm, he would express his support.
As a teacher who truly cared about his students, he deeply understood that each student’s life path should be their own to decide.
As long as the direction of the path was correct and proper, then what the teacher needed to do was to guide the students along that direction, making their journey smoother and more accurate.
Qin Tian looked up at his respected homeroom teacher and nodded with a smile.
“That’s good too!”
Old Li smiled and added, “If you go to Jiang University, with your grades, you can get better treatment. How are things going with your mother and the school regarding this?”
“Everything is settled!”
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
A couple of days ago, his smart and resourceful mother had utilized her bargaining skills learned from buying vegetables in the market to the fullest, securing him the best treatment from Jiang University.
Jiang University directly rewarded him with 500,000 yuan, plus a full tuition waiver for four years.
Even if he wanted to pursue postgraduate studies or a doctorate, the tuition would be waived, and he would receive a special scholarship from the school every year.
