Extra 3

The morning after the results of the college entrance examination came out, the admissions teachers from various schools came to persuade again.

Lu Wan had already chosen a school and a major and so did Chen Nianqing.

The two didn’t waver and were naturally unmoved.

Shangde High School performed very well in the college entrance examination this year.

The province’s first, second, fifth, and fourteenth place in science were all from this school.

The fifth place was Li Che and the fourteenth place was Su Rao.

The group of third year teachers were grinning from ear to ear. This was the best result the school had ever gotten in the past ten years.

The school board held a meeting and unanimously agreed that the scholarship student program was very good! It should continue!

Unsurprisingly, the names of Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing were once again on the hot search.

This was speaking with strength. After several months, they once again slapped the face of that certain variety show.

After all, the majority of the viewers’ still recognize the fairness of the college entrance examination results.

Daring to casually dismiss the first and second placer in the provincial science division of the national examination, your program team is really ‘good’!

Xu Yao also did well with a score of 410.

The baseline for sports students last year was around 390, so this time’s score was absolutely safe.

Although Xu Yao was often at the bottom of the class throughout the year, Shangde’s students were more able, and he was actually not bad among the other examinees majoring in sports.

His overall score was high, so he was basically secure.

Xu Yao himself was also confused. Lu Wan was the one who dragged him to go into high school.

……He had never thought of taking the exam, much less getting into a university by himself.

Moreover, the university was not bad?

It was like a dream.

But in the last year, he had really worked hard.

Especially in the last few months, he didn’t even have time to play games every day as he was doing homework in the library!

After Li Che transferred, Su Rao was squeezed out of the top three. At that time, she was in a bad mood, so Xu Yao went to comfort her.

The bottom of the grade consoling the fourth place, only Xu Yao could do such a thing.

Xu Yao hesitated before saying, “Actually, fourth place is okay. If you work harder, you’ll be able to overtake them next time.”

Su Rao: “What do you mean? Are you going to work hard with me?”

Xu Yao: “……It’s not impossible.”

So Xu Yao was caught by Su Rao and had to accompany her to study in the library every day.

The two people used to disagree in various ways and disliked each other, but after Chen Nianqing came to position, they no longer confronted each other, as if a revolutionary friendship between them had been born.

After all, they were acquaintances.

Su Rao felt that Xu Yao was very handy. Anyway, she had no image in front of this blockhead.

Naturally, there was no need to maintain the image of a goddess.

Often, when they were halfway through studying, she would assign Xu Yao of buying drinks or getting things.

Anyway, this blockhead learned sports so he runs very fast and had a lot of strength.

She didn’t have that kind of meaning towards this stupidly cute person, so Su Rao felt at ease using him.

When not assigning Xu Yao tasks, Su Rao would take out a few test papers for the other party to do.

With the help of a top student, his grades have improved a lot in the final phase.

During that period, the two went to the library every day, and other boys in the school had great opinions on Xu Yao.

What’s up, little buddy? You can’t catch Lu Wan so you decided to go for Goddess Su instead?

Your goal has changed fast enough! Why are you sliding towards the goddess?

He looked like an honest person, but it turned out he was harboring evil intentions!

Among the school boys, Su Rao was more popular than Lu Wan!

Xu Yao tried to explain but it didn’t work. A lot of boys were sharpening their knives, so he simply hid in the library and concentrated on studying that he didn’t even play basketball.

……It was very painful at the beginning, but he became accustomed to it after a while.

When Xu Yao found out his result, he immediately sent a text message to Su Rao.

【410! This young master did well in the exam, right? Who says I can’t get into college? How many points did you get?】

Su Rao over the other side responded in seconds.

【Not bad, higher than the mock exam’s score. You got lucky this time. 692.】  

Xu Yao laughed, bowed his head and typed again.

【What luck? This young master relied on my strength, okay?】

The husband and wife of the Xu family were ecstatic.

Mother Xu: “My goodness, is our old Xu family’s ancestral grave smoking? Xu Yao has been admitted to college? Is this really true?”

Father Xu: “We have to prepare things. Son, we need to return to our hometown to worship the ancestors soon after you filled out the application form!”

Mother Xu: “We should, we should! I’m really going to die of joy!”

The couple turned to look at their son who was giggling at his phone.

Mother Xu asked, “College student, who are you texting with? Are you asking about Lu Wan’s score?”

Xu Yao raised his head, “Oh, you’ve reminded me, I need to ask Lu Wan how many points she got.” He said and sent a message to Lu Wan.

Mother Xu was a little surprised. She asked again, “You weren’t talking to Lu Wan just now? Then who was it?”

“No. Another schoolmate.”

Mother Xu thought that it was probably a schoolmate of her son from the sports team, so she did not press the issue again.

Both husband and wife were crazy with joy.

It was right to transfer to Shangde! Their son would be a college student from now on!

———     

Xu Yao said that he was going back to Ning County to worship his ancestors.

Lu Wan decided to go along after giving it some thought.

Now that the college entrance examination was over, it’s time for her to make a trip back.

To the place where she grew up.

Although Lu Wan hated her adoptive father, she had deep affection for Ning County.

Small counties couldn’t be compared with big cities, but with beautiful mountains, clear waters and fresher air, they naturally have their own beauty.

She heard that the tourism industry had also developed well in recent years.

Lu Wan wanted to thank her math teacher, who worked hard to help her win a scholarship at that time, although he frequently complained because she often missed classes.

She wondered what kind of expression the little old man would make when he found out her college entrance examination results.

Had his hair became thinner? He would like her gift this time—— a carefully selected wig.

She also wanted to see the barbecue joint owner, her school friends, and the next-door neighbor’s dog who walks her out every day.

Lu Wan planned to go back in four or five days.

President Zhao and Professor Lu were busy and couldn’t leave, so she would go together with Xu Yao’s family.

Haley found about it and said that he wanted to go too, treating it as a trip to a small southern county.

He had long decided to study abroad, so he did not take the college entrance examination and had plenty of free time.

Haley didn’t mind if there were other people and even asked Su Rao to come.

After all, there were many people who could accompany him now, but after he went abroad, it would be difficult to get together again.

This could also be regarded as a graduation trip with a few friends.

Su Rao agreed.

Lu Wan thought it’s okay to go with them, as long as these two students didn’t mind being bored.

She casually mentioned it to Chen Nianqing and this person also indicated that he wanted to go.

“It just so happen that I also want to go around and relax.”

It instantly turned into a tour.

On the day of departure, Lu Wan got up early in the morning and prepared to go out with her bag on her back after breakfast.

Lu Buyu just got up and walked to the balcony. He saw Chen Nianqing’s blurry figure standing at the door and instantly became clearheaded.

What’s going on? Wasn’t Lu Wan going to Ning County today? How come Chen Nianqing was also here?

Lu Buyu rushed downstairs and asked Professor Lu who was eating, “Is Chen Nianqing sending Lu Wan to the airport?”

“No, Xiao Chen will also go to Ning County for a few days with two other schoolmates of Wanwan.”

Lu Buyu: “How can you let him go?”

Without understanding, Lu Bainian asked, “Is there a problem?”

Lu Buyu ran upstairs without answering. A few minutes later, he came down with a suitcase. He said with a serious face, “I have to follow them to be assured.”

Lu Bainian: “……Didn’t you say you weren’t going?”

Lu Buyu: “I didn’t know that Chen Nianqing will also be there!”

Lu Bainian: “……Aren’t you a little too sensitive?”

“What do you know? I’ve seen a lot of things in the entertainment industry. Lu Wan is only eighteen years old. Aren’t you afraid of her……” Lu Buyu paused and clapped his hands a few times with a “papapa^[1]making love”.

Although he disdains these things, he had spent several years in the entertainment industry. Was there anything he hadn’t seen?

All kinds of things could happen.

How could Lu Wan go on a trip with Chen Nianqing?

Lu Bainian was stunned at first, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

How come the topic between father and son suddenly shifted into this? He was caught off guard ah.

Lu Bainian coughed awkwardly. “You’re thinking too much.”

Lu Buyu: “You blame me for thinking too much? I’m afraid that it’s that boy who’s thinking too much. They at least shouldn’t think about these messy things before the age of twenty!”

Lu Bainian hesitated for a moment. “You have a point.”

They would worry about these things when raising a girl. There’s no need to avoid it just because they were embarrassed.

However, recently Xiao Chen had completely become ‘that boy’ in Lu Buyu’s mouth.

———      

The three members of Xu family came to pick up Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing on the way to the airport.

Anyway, the seven-seater car was spacious enough.

Chen Nianqing: “Be careful with your head.”

“En.”

Seeing the person sat down, Chen Nianqing was just about to go in when a figure flashed past and got into the car first.

Lu Buyu sat firmly in the middle to separate Chen Nianqing and Lu Wan, and said calmly, “Here’s the thing, I don’t think you can’t do without your parent so I will follow along.”

Lu Wan had black lines on her face. Didn’t this guy say he wouldn’t go? How come he was so quick to change mind?

Parent?

She had a bad feeling about this.

———     

Zhao Jianing watched the car go away, turned around and asked, “Honey, is it really okay for him to do this?”

Lu Bainian: “I think…… there’s a problem.”

The couple looked at each other.

Their eldest son had never been in a relationship.

Zhao Jianing contemplated and asked, “Think about it, has he ever liked a girl since he was a child?”

This was ridiculous.

Lu Bainian thought for a while and said, “It seems that there is. I’m not sure. When he was studying in Singapore, there’s a girl in his class who had a good relationship with him. I still remember it because he got in a fight with some boys for that girl, so the school had to notify the parents.”

Zhao Jianing: “His age is bit old. How about we find that girl and try to match them up?”

Lu Bainian: “Forget it. Let nature take its course. Didn’t they say that idols that fell in love will be beheaded? This time the siblings are traveling together. Wanwan will take good care of Lu Buyu.”

Moreover, Lu Jinye also sent people to secretly protect them to avoid accidents.

Zhao Jianing: “Where did you hear that?”

Lu Bainian: “I saw it online.”

He had a Weibo account which he applied for a few years ago, but he only logged in once a month.

It’s just to check his son’s news every time.

Back then when Lu Buyu dropped out of school to join the entertainment industry, although Lu Bainian didn’t object, he was quite worried. He was just keeping silent.

Over the years, Professor Lu haf learned a lot of the jargon and rules of the fan circle.

Professor Lu, who had been secretly surfing the Internet for several years, not only knew what a ‘girlfriend fan’, ‘mom fan’ and ‘career fan’ were.

Because he was good at research-based learning, he also figured out the meaning of ‘Zhengsu fan^[2]fans who likes manly male idols’ and ‘Nisu fan^[3]opposite of Zhengsu; fans who like feminize male idols’.

Lu Bainian leaned his head on Zhao Jianing’s shoulder.

“Honey, the children aren’t home, we can have a good date. Come home early in the evening, let’s drink red wine. These years have been hard on you.”

“It’s not hard. Our family is now together and I’m happy every day.”
