"But in that case, you still don’t really understand it, which means you haven’t truly learned it. You’re just cramming for the college entrance exam."
Lin Wanwan said firmly, "No problem. Please go ahead and ruin me for the exam. I don’t want quality education, just exam-oriented methods! I’ll memorize everything verbatim as you said, and I will thoroughly memorize this type of question!"
Xiao Chong looked at Lin Wanwan’s adorable, serious, baby-faced expression, and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, "Don’t act cute with me; I’m afraid I can’t resist it."
Lin Wanwan blushed, brushed his hand off, "Hey, hey, hey! What’s going on? You promised not to do that."
Xiao Chong lazily raised his hand in apology, "Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I promise I won’t do it next time."
"Hmph, you say you’re sorry, but I bet you’ll do it again next time," Lin Wanwan grumbled, resting her chin on the textbook as she patted her chest to calm her startled little heart. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Xiao Chong found Lin Wanwan amusing and felt a strong urge to peek into her brain and see what she was thinking.
Clearly, he believed he had explained the math logic quite clearly, but she seemed unable to grasp it no matter what.
This really is like daylight not understanding the darkness of night!
He recalled being amazed by Lin Wanwan’s arithmetic skills over a thousand four hundred years ago.
Back then, he truly fell victim to the millennial knowledge gap.
Nonetheless, Xiao Chong still found Lin Wanwan adorable. If math’s too hard, so be it; at least she’s quick at picking up literature and history.
In the midst of diligent study, the second semester of senior year arrived.
Xiao Chong’s eighteenth birthday also arrived.
His eighteenth birthday coincided with the first day of the winter camp of the second semester of senior year (which was actually just extra classes). His parents insisted on hosting a party at a hotel and enthusiastically invited Lin Wanwan and her grandfather.
Lin Wanwan prepared a pair of basketball shoes for Xiao Chong, which cost over eight hundred yuan, sponsored by her grandfather.
Her grandfather also gave a thousand-yuan red envelope, but Xiao Chong’s parents firmly returned it.
On this day, Mi Yunzhi also came.
He even apologized to Lin Wanwan for the issue with Zheng Ying. Of course, Lin Wanwan told him it was unnecessary, since it wasn’t really his fault.
A year had passed, and Mi Yunzhi had already moved on from his youthful feelings, having found a new girlfriend during the New Year.
Now, he felt it wasn’t worth it to have fallen out with Xiao Chong over Zheng Ying, who had been stringing along several relationships. They had been good friends since childhood.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chong couldn’t accept someone who had once doubted his character as a friend again. Mi Yunzhi’s awakening came too late, long after the deadline Xiao Chong set.
Yet, Xiao Chong could still manage perfect politeness on the surface since he’d been an old hand in the officialdom and had encountered all kinds of people.
At eighteen, you can take the driving test.
Xiao Chong had no worries about the college entrance exam. While everyone else was stressed over the exam, he went ahead and enrolled in driving school.
By the time he went to the spring camp at Peking University in April, he had already gotten his license.
With Xiao Chong’s help, Lin Wanwan memorized the question types, and brought her liberal arts math score up to around 130 points—a whole ten-point jump!
Added to her improvement in literature and history, Lin Wanwan could now rank eighth in her class. With another push in the final semester, she might even dare to dream about the prestigious university in their province.
Once Xiao Chong returned from Beijing after attending the spring camp, Lin Wanwan and the others officially entered the final phase of the college entrance examination preparations.
Xiao Chong was more nervous than Lin Wanwan; he didn’t want to end up like the oak and kapok tree, one enduring frost and snow in the North, the other basking in wind and rain in the South.
This trip to Beijing, Xiao Chong even asked the Peking University teacher who used to lead teams in the International Olympiad to secure some secret papers for the Qingbei cram course, spending a lot of money.
Upon returning to Yongcheng, he immediately grabbed Lin Wanwan to work through the content on those papers, cramming her with information. freёwebnovel.com
During the final half-month before the exam, there was no need to go to school; vacations were given at home for everyone to review and consolidate independently.
Xiao Chong began predicting exam questions for Lin Wanwan, having studied past college entrance exam questions and various mock exams several times. He aimed for Lin Wanwan to memorize the major questions by heart to achieve a significant score boost.
During the final sprint, Xiao Chong focused purely on teaching test-taking skills. It wasn’t about figuring out how to solve big questions but how to guess correctly even if she didn’t know the answer.
Besides that, he predicted essay topics and wrote many classical-style essays for her. As long as they fit the theme, such classical essays could score full marks.
Lin Wanwan’s writing skills were naturally decent, but she excelled at fiction, whereas exam-time essays weren’t her strong suit. The essays Xiao Chong forecasted were tailored to fit the exam’s requirements, full of substance.
Lin Wanwan eagerly memorized them, studying day and night to exhaustion.
Xiao Chong prepared her late-night snacks every evening, intentionally driving to a five-star hotel to pack food back for her.
With his driving license, Xiao Chong had already purchased his first car, a black Cayenne, with Lin Wanwan helping him select the model.
Lin Wanwan didn’t know much about cars; she merely felt this model had the best look among the photos Xiao Chong showed her.
