Chapter 1462 The Top Scorer Zhang Yumeng
“We’re going to school.”
After arriving at the school, Mengmeng greeted Yue Xiaonao and strolled to the building.
Zi Yan also called Luo Shan at this moment.
After Luo Shan learned that Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao were coming to school, he immediately put down his work and instructed the relative personnel to prepare for the girls’ attendance.
In fact, he didn’t need to give special instructions. The school had been withholding their status as students, and they were not struck off the school roll.
The girls went to the cla.s.sroom.
The students were all wearing school uniforms, but Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao were both wearing their own clothes, which were very eye-catching.
“Eh? Why are two people here?”
All the students were stunned at first.
“Sister Nao?”
“Mengmeng?”
“Oh my G.o.d, you guys are back!”
“Wow! What have you been doing in the past two years? Did you go to another school?”
“…”
After the initial daze, many students were shocked, and a small number of them even greeted Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao and talked to them.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone.”
Mengmeng waved her hand and walked to the last row of seats on the left with Yue Xiaonao.
There were four vacant seats in the last row, which were for Mengmeng and the other three.
The tables and chairs were not dusty.
However, there was nothing on those tables.
“We went out to do something important,” Yue Xiaonao replied.
“Sister Nao, you’ve become even cuter. You look a bit chubbier,” someone said.
“What are you talking about?” Yue Xiaonao said discontentedly, “I’m not fat. Don’t mention it.”
“Mengmeng is the most beautiful girl in our cla.s.s. Tut-tut.”
When Mengmeng took off her lovely cap, she was teased by several bold boys.
“You’re getting more and more beautiful. I’m really intoxicated by your look.”
“Too flashy!” Yue Xiaonao commented.
The boys were also naughty and said with a smile, “Sister Nao, you’re still as domineering as ever.”
“Sister Nao, where have you been for the past two years?” a girl asked.
“We went out to have fun,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“What about Felina and Nina?”
“They haven’t come back.”
“What a pity.” Someone said with a look of pity, “At that time, your grades were so good, especially Zhang Yumeng. She hadn’t studied for more than two years. I guess it will be difficult for her to… score high on the college entrance examination.”
The speaker sighed, but she seemed to be inwardly happy.
Mengmeng squinted at her and chuckled. “As long as I’m not dead, you guys would remain inferior to me. I’ll still get to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination this year.”
The girl’s mouth moved. She wanted to refute it, but she couldn’t.
“Wow.”
“So you’ve also studied? In another school?”
“…”
They chatted for ten minutes.
The lead teacher arrived and saw Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao.
“What a rare sight!”
After the teacher joked, her face became serious. “Are you sure you can do a good job on the college entrance exam?”
“Zhang Yumeng just said that she would be the top scorer.”
“Top scorer?” The teacher was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, “You’ll have to work hard. A few students in our school have nice grades. I heard that a few students from Burry Private School also scored high in the mocks.”
“There will be no problem. Mengmeng will be the top scorer, and I’ll also be on the list!” Yue Xiaonao said.
While they were talking, the vice-princ.i.p.al hurried in.
“Mr. Wu.”
The lead teacher’s face became serious.
“Hi.”
Princ.i.p.al Wu nodded slightly and immediately glanced around the cla.s.sroom. When he saw Mengmeng, he smiled.
“Mengmeng, you’ve come back.”
When he entered the cla.s.sroom, the students found that there were two people behind Princ.i.p.al Wu. They were both holding a series of books, practice test papers, and so on,
“These are textbooks from the first year to the third year of high school, as well as all kinds of practice test papers. Feel free to read them,” Princ.i.p.al Wu said, smiling.
“Thank you, sir,” Mengmeng said.
After leaving behind the brand new textbooks, Princ.i.p.al Wu said, “If you need anything, contact me at any time.”
“Okay.”
After Princ.i.p.al Wu and the others left, the cla.s.s also quieted down a little.
To be able to get the princ.i.p.al to personally deliver the textbook, Mengmeng’s ident.i.ty was obviously extraordinary.
Of course, the lead teacher and some students had known about it when they were in their first year of high school.
During the last few days of cla.s.s, every teacher would send over some review materials, which were carefully prepared and marked out with key points.
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao were very quiet in the school.
They quietly read books and enjoyed the last few days of high school.
Since the students were about to go to college, they were in high spirits. Many of them felt that their tough high school life was over.
At noon, they went to the canteen.
At the main entrance.
“Oh, Mengmeng! I missed you so much!”
Li Muen quickly rushed over and hugged Mengmeng happily.
“Hey, hey, hey! Be gentle!”
Mengmeng felt a little awkward in her arms.
Since she was a child, she had liked to let her parents hold her. When she grew up, she only often hugged Zi Yan. She would hold Zhang Han’s arm and his hand, and she rarely hugged him.
Mengmeng had been taught by Zhang Han that there should be a prudent reserve between the s.e.xes.
“Why took you so long? It’s been more than two years.” Li Muen was extremely excited.
“Alas, there was an accident. Otherwise, we would have come back long ago,” Mengmeng said with a smile.
“Xiaonao, why are you so fat?” Li Muen greeted Yue Xiaonao and calmed down a lot.
She and Mengmeng had grown up together. She was on good terms with Yue Xiaonao, who joined them later, but they were not as close as she was with Mengmeng.
“Stop it. I’m not fat!” Yue Xiaonao was tired of it. She snorted and said, “I’m just plump. Look at you, and then look at me, humph.”
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Mengmeng took a look at Li Muen’s b.o.o.bs, then at hers, and finally at Yue Xiaonao’s.
They were of different sizes.
“Mine seems to be growing a little slowly.” Li Muen blinked and said, “I’ll make up for it later. Let’s go and have lunch first.”
As they spoke, the three of them walked into the canteen. At this moment, the place was already crowded and there weren’t many empty seats left.
“Mengmeng, save the table here. We’re going to buy some food. What would you like to eat?” Li Muen asked.
“I…” Mengmeng thought for a while and said, “I’d like some fries.”
“Okay.”
Li Muen went to buy some food. Yue Xiaonao strolled around and bought a portion of noodles.
They went back to their table and began to eat, chatting while eating.
“Mengmeng, Sister Nao, how long will you stay here this time? The college entrance exam is coming soon,” Li Muen asked.
“We’ll probably stay for a long time. We won’t always go out. If we do, it won’t take too long,” Mengmeng said.
“This is great!”
Li Muen was overjoyed. “That way, we can hang out together. Oh, by the way, why haven’t Felina and Nina come back?”
“They…” Mengmeng sighed softly and said, “They can’t come back for the time being, but I think that they will after a while.”
“I see. They should be busy with something.” Li Muen didn’t understand. She nodded and asked, “Sister Nao, Mengmeng, have you decided which university you want to go to? Shall we go to the same one? My grades are not bad now. I’m sure I can get into the top three local universities, but I don’t want to stay in Xiangjiang.”
“The same goes for me. I’ll no longer stay in Xiangjiang. I’ll go to other cities,” Yue Xiaonao said. “There are so many famous universities, such as Henford University, Benty University, Forden University, and Jandler University.”
“That’s great.” After Li Muen finished speaking, her face froze. “It’s a little difficult for me to get into these universities with my grades. Mengmeng, what can I do to get 700 points?”
“What?”
Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then she was lost in thought. Two seconds later, she hesitated and said, “If you want to get 700 points, it seems that you’ll have to leave some questions blank. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do to get the points deducted to 700.”
Clang!
Li Muen’s cutlery fell on the table. She said resentfully, “I shouldn’t have asked you that. It makes me lose my appet.i.te.”
“I’m just telling the truth.” Mengmeng’s big eyes curved as she smiled.
“Why do you ask her? Just ask me,” Yue Xiaonao said reproachfully.
“Are you experienced in this, Sister Nao? That’s right. Your grades were not very good before.” Li Muen finally became a little interested.
“In terms of experience, I have one. I just need to leave a few questions blank to get 700 points,” Yue Xiaonao said.
Li Muen said, “I can’t eat now!”
Both Mengmeng’s and Yue Xiaonao’s ways of getting 700 points were to leave some questions blank, which meant that they thought it was only natural to score higher than 700 points.
What both of them said frustrated Li Muen.
Li Muen took a few glances at the food, silently picked up her cutlery, and began to eat in silence.
At this time, there was a lot of noise around.
The tables around were full, and there were four boys at the next table.
One of the boys, a thin-faced one, said in a b.i.t.c.hy voice, “Today, our teacher even said that students should have some self-control after going to college although they tend to be loose. College students should not only hang out but also study. I think one of the sentences makes sense.”
A little fat boy next to him asked, “Which one?”
“Students tend to be loose after going to college. Tsk tsk.”
“What’s so strange about that?”
“You don’t get it.” Another tall student narrowed his eyes and looked at the thin-faced boy. “Interesting. Some people stay tight both in high school and college.”
“Some become loose in high school.” The thin-faced boy smirked and even raised his eyebrows.
“What are you talking about? It’s quite baffling.” The chubby boy focused on eating.
Hearing their conversation, Li Muen was stunned. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly as she said in a low voice, “It’s dirty.”
…
In the next few days, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao spent the rest of their time studying.
Soon, the day of the college entrance examination arrived.
It seemed that there were some changes in society.
There were many free buses and taxis, which could take students to and from the examination hall for free.
Even so, many things could be seen on the first day of the college entrance examination at 7:30.
A taxi radio system reported, “Han Duo’s exam admission ticket was left in the car and is being sent to the entrance of the examination hall of the Sixth Middle School…”
Some students forgot to bring their admission tickets or went to the wrong examination room.
Of course, there were also a lot of interesting things.
“Good luck to you all on the exam. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well. You can work with me at a diner.”
“…”
The college entrance examination was a place to prove one’s hard work. After the students studied hard for so many years, success or failure would be determined in these two days.
Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and Li Muen were all in the examination hall of the First Middle School.
At 7:30 a.m., the gate was crowded with parents.
Zhang Han and Zi Yan were also there.
“Go now.”
Zhang Han waved his hand.
“Okay, wait for my good news,” Mengmeng said casually.
Yue Xiaonao waved at Lisa and Yue Wuwei and said, “Go back now. I’ll be fine.”
Yue Wuwei suddenly raised two fingers and made a gesture to her.
“Huh?”
Yue Xiaonao was stunned for a moment and also raised two fingers. “Is this the meaning of victory?”
“Two cards!”
Yue Wuwei said grumpily, “I mean two cards, not the victory gesture! Have you brought your admission ticket and identification card?”
“I have!” Yue Xiaonao glared at him.
When Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao walked through the school gate, they saw Li Muen waiting aside.
“Here you are.”
Li Muen rubbed her hands and said, “I’m so nervous. I feel that my heart is about to jump out of my chest. My palms are sweaty.”
“Why are you so nervous?” Mengmeng comforted her. “Don’t worry. At worst, you’ll just take the exam next year.”
“Hey, is this how you comfort someone?” Li Muen touched her head.
“Just perform normally. Didn’t you get about 670 points in three mocks?” Yue Xiaonao asked.
“But, but I want to get into Henford University. My scores aren’t good enough to have me admitted to Benty University.” Li Muen felt stressed.
If she didn’t perform well, it would be even more miserable.
“Don’t worry about the exam. Besides, we’re not going to Shang Jing,” Mengmeng said.
“You aren’t?” Li Muen was stunned.
“No.” Mengmeng said, “We don’t have to go to the top universities. We can just go to an interesting one.”
“I see. If you had told me earlier, I would have been relieved.” Li Muen let out a long breath.
She patted her chest and relaxed a lot for a while.
“Then, I’ll just perform as usual. After the exam, I’ll go and check which universities are fun,” Li Muen said.
The three of them were a.s.signed to different exam rooms.
After Mengmeng walked into the examination room, she could see many students sitting upright.
Some of them looked nervous, some relaxed, and some others relaxed to the extreme. These people either had good grades and were very confident in themselves or let themselves go to seed.
Mengmeng sat down. There was a girl in the front seat, who was snotting and sniffing.
Soon, two invigilators came in, one man and one woman.
“First, let me tell you about the dos and don’ts. You’re not allowed to bring any kinds of electronic products that can send or accept information…”
After that, when the bell rang, the male teacher picked up the sealed test paper bag.
“As you can see, it is sealed.”
Then, he shook the bag in front of the representative, opened it, and began to distribute the test papers.
“Papers?”
The female teacher walked over to the girl in front of Mengmeng, picked up a tissue package, and looked at it.
“I’ve caught a cold, Miss.”
The female teacher was silent for a moment and then put the tissue package back.
After more than ten minutes of the exam, the tissues were used up.
The female teacher took out a box of tissues from her bag and placed it next to the girl. Every now and then, she would give her a piece of tissue, which was well-prepared.
This made the girl feel extremely awkward.
However, the teacher’s attention was soon focused on Mengmeng.
“What a beautiful young girl!
“Her handwriting is also very nice.
“Eh? She seems to have a high accuracy rate.
“She’s a great talent.”
While watching Mengmeng answer the questions, the teacher also gave tissues to the girl in the front.
“I’m okay. I’m okay.”
After a while, the girl could not stand it anymore, and her nose was almost red.
…
The two-day college entrance examination was over soon.
Some people were happy, while some people were frustrated.
“We can finally go out and have some fun!”
Li Muen relaxed and said, “Mengmeng, how did you do in the exam?”
“I did okay enough,” Mengmeng said.
“What do you mean by doing okay enough?”
“I think I got about 740,” Mengmeng answered casually.
“Boo-hoo…”
A girl who heard their conversation not far away suddenly burst into tears.
“How about you, Sister Nao?”
“I did a good job this time and scored about 720 points.”
“Boo-hoo.”
A boy finally couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“You even know how many points you got?” Li Muen pondered for a long time and said, “According to your answers, I’m very likely to get more than 680 points.”
The people around them hurriedly left.
“Which university should we apply to?”
“Shall we go out and have fun tonight?”
They had agreed to hang out in the evening.
Everyone went back to their own homes.
They told their parents that they did a good job on the exam.
They dressed up at home and were ready to go.
When the sky turned dark, the three of them began their nightlife.
After hanging around in the bar for a while, they went to the seaside at about nine o’clock and sneaked into other people’s cruises. There were many young masters of the new generation of rich and powerful families in Xiangjiang.
Those people were about the same age as Mengmeng and were very polite.
In the middle of the night, the girls had barbecue by the bay.
They didn’t return to Mount New Moon until later in the night. After playing games for a while, they went to sleep.
After hanging around for a few days, the students would estimate the scores.
When they learned that Mengmeng had scored 740 points, they were all shocked. “She deserves to be a straight-A student.”
“Zhang Yumeng, which university do you want to apply to?”
The lead teacher smiled sweetly and said, “If you have any questions about applying to the university, you can contact me at any time.”
She felt delighted to have the top scorer in her cla.s.s.
The lead teacher was in a good mood.
“I haven’t decided yet. We’ll discuss it in the evening.”
That night, Yue Xiaonao, Mengmeng, and Li Muen were having coffee together. They had just finished shopping.
“Which university should we apply to?” Yue Xiaonao said, “I’ve checked it out recently. Our scores are good enough for us to pick whichever university we like. You guys make the decision.”
“Mengmeng, you make the decision,” Li Muen said.
Mengmeng hesitated. She said, “I don’t know which one to choose. Forget it. I’ll draw lots.”
“Draw lots?” Li Muen was stunned. “Can we decide which university to go to by drawing lots?”
“That’s a good idea.”
Yue Xiaonao’s interest was suddenly piqued. “Well, Muen, you’ll draw. How many options should we make? Fifty universities?”
“Okay.”
“Excuse me, can I have a pen and several pieces of paper?”
Yue Xiaonao checked with her mobile phone and wrote down 50 universities. She put the sc.r.a.ps of paper in front of Li Muen and fiddled with them.
“Pick one.”
Yue Xiaonao and Mengmeng were staring at her.
“I’m under so much pressure!”
Li Muen swallowed a bit and asked, “Are you sure I’ll get to choose?”
“Of course. Hurry up,” Yue Xiaonao urged her.
Finally, Li Muen slowly stretched out her right hand, picked up a sc.r.a.p from the lower left side, and opened it.
“It’s Westpam University.”
“Well, okay. This one will do.” Mengmeng nodded and said, “I’ve seldom visited that city.”
“I will definitely get admitted to this.” Li Muen was completely relaxed.
Westpam University was located in West Province and had a long history of cultural development.
Mengmeng and the other two decided which university to go to in this way.
They could do this because their parents didn’t discipline them much.
Yue Wuwei, Lisa, Zhang Han, and Zi Yan allow their daughters to make their own decisions on which university to go to.
As for Li Muen, her mother had a lot of ideas and her father also supported her. But her mother opposed it at first when she said that she would go to the same college as Mengmeng.
In the end, Li Kai denied what his wife had said.
He simply said, “She can do whatever she likes.”
Li Kai had always supported Li Muen to hang out with Mengmeng.
However, Li Kai didn’t want his daughter to be a martial artist at first. “Why would a girl practice martial arts?”
Now, he had no objections.
Time pa.s.sed very quickly.
When the results of the exam came out, the top scorer, Zhang Yumeng, was well-known all over the country and countless students looked up to her.
Many universities took the initiative to contact her and began to compete for her.
Unfortunately, they could not get in touch with her at all.
Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and Li Muen successfully got admitted to Westpam University.
They were about to start their college life.
