Chapter 687: The College Entrance Examination
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yuan Silei’s matter had no impact on Ye Lengan whatsoever.
The next day, she energetically attended the college entrance examination.
For her, the college entrance examination was a straightforward affair. In the following two days, she remained focused solely on the examination, dismissing any other thoughts.
Ye Leng’an’s participation in the exam was discreet, and most students in the school were oblivious to that.
On the contrary, Ye Xiyuan was far from discreet. She was, in fact, quite conspicuous.
Originally a first-year student that year, Ye Xiyuan unexpectedly skipped to the third year in the second semester. Furthermore, she consistently ranked at the top of her class. Almost the entire Shengan High School was aware of her presence.
Despite previous disruptions caused by Li Qiaomengs incident, which exposed many aspects of her life, Ye Xiyuan’s outstanding grades continued to attract significant attention.
This college entrance examination represented a chance for Ye Xiyuan to reverse her fortunes. Due to preceding events, her position within the Ye family seemed precarious. If not for her association with Nangong Riming, her standing in the family would likely have diminished.
Throughout her time in the third year of high school, she consistently excelled in joint exams. Having experienced this in her past life, the details were somewhat forgotten, but diligent recollection during this period allowed her to perform well each time.
A month before the college entrance examination, she diligently began recalling past questions. Anything that came to mind, she immediately transcribed and sought answers. She was now entirely confident that she could achieve the best results. She aspired to secure the top spot, and even if that eluded her, a place in the top ten was well within her confidence. With Ye Xiyuan’s impressive academic record and top rankings in joint exams, the Ye family had already begun widespread promotion before the college entrance examination. They believed this examination posed no challenge for
Ye Xiyuan.
Both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin, whether intentionally or unintentionally, promoted Ye Xiyuan’s favorable reputation. Praise from others would significantly satisfy their vanity. Consequently, many were eager to see the results of Ye Xiyuan’s performance in the college entrance examination.
After completing the first day of the examination, Ye Lengan calmly left the hall and boarded Huangfu Ruilings car.
“How did it go?” Huangfu Ruiling handed Ye Lengan a water bottle and asked, “Were the questions difficult?”
“Quite simple.” Ye Lengan considered for a moment before adding, “Probably a bit more challenging than the set of questions from my memory!’
She possessed a good memory. Even though she took the college entrance examination two years later in her previous life, she had practiced previous years’ questions. To ensure fairness, she had Huangfu Ruiling intervene to make this year’s questions entirely different.
She believed that having advance knowledge of the questions was unfair to other candidates. After years of arduous study for the college entrance examination, she aimed to foster fair competition.
Upon hearing Ye Lengan’s response, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “Seems like you’re very confident about becoming the top scorer in this college entrance examination.”
“Absolutely.” Ye Lengan was self-assured. “Let’s not dwell on this. Let’s go eat!
I’m hungry.”
Observing Ye Leng’an’s expression, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head with amusement.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiyuan, emerging from another examination hall, presented a contrasting picture. Her complexion was unsightly, almost pallid.
She felt an icy chill throughout her body as if plunged into an ice cellar.
Recalling the recently completed exam, Ye Xiyuan felt distressed. The questions on the paper were entirely different from what she remembered.
Confronted with these unexpected questions, she was at a loss. Picking up the pen, she had no idea how to proceed. At that moment, her mind was a blank slate, incapable of coherent thought.
Upon regaining composure, she realized the test’s difficulty surpassed those she had practiced before. Her recent focus on memorizing answers had left her unprepared for the rigorous revision required. Consequently, she was clueless about answering many questions.
Leaving the examination hall, she sensed weakness in her steps. She had even forgotten what she had written on the paper.
“Xiyuan, what happened?” Lin Wanqin, who had come to pick her up, noticed her pale countenance and asked with concern, “You don’t look well. Did something happen?”
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Xiyuan’s left hand.
Ever since Li Qiaomengs attack, Ye Xiyuan’s left hand had suffered lasting effects. Until now, it remained weak, barely functional. Despite visiting numerous hospitals, including prominent ones overseas, there had been no improvement.
“I’m fine.” Sensing Lin Wanqin’s gaze, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes flashed with displeasure. She subtly shifted her body, saying, “I just finished the exam, and my brain is exhausted. I feel a bit lightheaded.”
Since the incident with her left hand, she preferred not to have it brought up. Lin Wanqin’s overt focus on her hand made her uncomfortable. Yet, as it was her mother, she refrained from voicing her discomfort.
Lin Wanqin also noticed Ye Xiyuan’s evasion. She appeared somewhat uneasy and smiled.. “So, was today’s test challenging? How did you fare?”
