Chapter 688: Wait for the Results

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The school’s entrance examination was typically organized by grade level, with students from the same grade randomly assigned to various classrooms. This method ensured that the other students wouldn’t easily notice the new ones.

The two newcomers, Su Bing and Su Li, realized that as long as they didn’t show their nervousness, they would blend in seamlessly. This thought relaxed Su Li considerably. Regardless of the circumstances, he knew he had to put on a convincing act.

Imitating the demeanor of the other examinees, Su Li wore a confident smile, sat upright, and projected the image of a seasoned student. Seeing this, Gu Zi felt relieved and left the examination area.

The examination lasted the entire morning and finally came to an end. The students emerged from the examination rooms, their faces serious and devoid of the confident smiles they had worn earlier. Gu Zi overheard some of their discussions.

“This year’s entrance exam is hellishly difficult. I didn’t even finish the last few questions. Is it just our grade that’s this hard?”

“Exactly, previous years were tough, but never this difficult. It’s insane. I asked my younger brother, who’s in first grade, and he also said it was hard. Do you think a human could have set this paper? I feel like I’m going to be placed in the regular class.”

“If you’re going to the regular class, then we must be getting expelled. But no, everyone found it difficult, so the passing score will probably be lowered. Those meant for the regular class will still be in the regular class, and those meant for the advanced class will still be in the advanced class.”

Gu Zi watched the disheartened students passing by. From their conversations, she could tell they were not merely discussing the exam but complaining about it.

After waiting for a while and mentally preparing herself to console her two sons, Gu Zi was surprised when she finally met them.

Su Bing, the elder brother, was as composed leaving the exam as he had been entering it. Su Li, on the other hand, had entered with a forced smile but emerged genuinely relaxed and cheerful.

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Su Li felt completely relaxed. He patted his chest and promised, then revealed his true feelings. “Mom, I’ll definitely work hard. I’ll tell you, the moment I finished looking at the exam paper, I wasn’t nervous at all. Because being nervous wouldn’t help. The paper was too difficult. I just tried to write answers for all the questions and prepared myself to go to the regular class.”

The trio got into the taxi. On the ride, Gu Zi reflected on her sons’ responses, feeling pleased.

Her children were even more outstanding than she had imagined. Su Bing was always steady, and Su Li’s quick acceptance of reality was a form of steadiness in itself. In terms of mentality, they had already surpassed many of their peers.

Upon returning home, Gu Zi immediately sent the brothers to their neighbor’s house to pick up their younger sister, Su Le.

Checking the time, she realized it was time to prepare lunch. She took a bag of cornmeal from a small clay pot, planning to make a simple cornmeal porridge for lunch. They had eaten too much on the snack street, with all the heavy oil and salt. A simple meal of cornmeal porridge and pickles would be perfect to balance it out.
