Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The intense study life made the students have no time to care about other things. They focused their mental energy on the college entrance examination. Other than eating and sleeping, they studied every day.
Tan Rou’s study life was not as tense. She still studied at the pace of the previous semester and took time to develop new pills every day.
Zhuang Liu stayed in the Capital and handed over the affairs here to his trusted people to take care of. However, he would take time out every weekend to come back and accompany Tan Rou. They would either enjoy a meal together, shop, or take a tour around the city.
Tan Rou would also go to the Capital on weekends to treat Zhuang Yan. After a few months of treatment, Zhuang Yan’s reaction to the outside world was getting stronger and stronger, and there were signs of him waking up.
Two months before the college entrance examination, Tan Rou and the others represented the country to participate in a world-class physics competition overseas. Lu Qing and Li Li did not get a place, but Tan Rou got second place. The first place was a foreign girl who had been exposed to physics since she was young. Moreover, that girl only specialized in physics and did not study other subjects.
Tan Rou didn’t really care about this result. She only cared about the bonus the school gave her. If it wasn’t for the bonus, she wouldn’t have participated. Although this amount of money was not even a fraction of her savings, it was her own money after all. She would like it no matter how little it was.
After participating in the competition, she could prepare for the college entrance examination in peace. Perhaps due to Tan Rou’s influence, Li Li had also worked very hard in her studies for the past six months. Even the teacher felt that it was amazing. Under normal circumstances, if a student was guaranteed admission in advance, they would choose to go home and wait for the admission notice. Very few students would stay in school.
Even though Tan Rou and the other two had guaranteed entry, their attitude towards their studies was even more correct than the students who would normally take the college entrance examination. Tan Rou was always first in the weekly and monthly exams, and Lu Qing was second sometimes. Li Li had also risen from the top ten in her grade to the top ten in the entire school.
The principal was delighted. He gathered all the third-year students for a meeting and said that as long as they could get into Capital University, they would be given a scholarship of 10,000 each.
Li Li didn’t care about the 10,000 anymore. After all, she and Tan Rou could earn more than 100,000 a month. Sometimes, they could earn more than that. However, the scholarship was very nice to hear. Moreover, the scholarship would be something in her record forever which would be very beneficial to her future development.
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the college entrance examination. Tan Rou was not nervous, but the Tao family’s parents and brothers were very nervous. Even Tao Zhi, who was working in the capital, took a leave of absence and came back. For Tan Rou’s exam this time, he especially took a week off and took turns with Tao Zheng to send Tan Rou to the examination hall.
Tan Rou felt that they were being too nervous. It was just the college entrance examination and was not important at all. Moreover, she had already been accepted to the Capital University, so there was no need to worry.
She came to participate in the college entrance examination. Firstly, it was to test her own level, and secondly, to feel a sense of ritual. After studying for so many years, she had to take the college entrance examination once. Otherwise, she would have regrets.
After the exams, they went back to school to take their graduation photos. First, they took a group photo, then they took a group photo with their teachers and classmates. Tan Rou didn’t like taking photos and wanted to slip away early. In the end, she was caught by the principal.
“Principal, if I don’t do well, wouldn’t these photos be for nothing?” Tan Rou smiled.
The principal smiled and said, “It won’t be for nothing. 1 believe that you will definitely be the top scorer of the college entrance examination.”
Tan Rou didn’t want to dampen his confidence, because she believed that she would get first place. She wasn’t arrogant, but she had the ability to do so.
“Xiao Rou, are you free these few days?” Li Li came over with a bouquet. These were the flowers she had used for the photo just now. “Here’s a bouquet for you.”
Tan Rou touched the flowers and smiled. “Thank you.”
“I’m taking photos of you. I see that you didn’t take many photos. Why don’t we take a few more photos together?” Li Li pulled Tan Rou to a suitable place to take photos.
Tan Rou didn’t like to take photos, but she didn’t reject Li Li’s request. After all, this was the only chance in her life to take high school graduation photos. She couldn’t leave any regrets.
Lu Qing changed into his private clothes and went to Li Li and Tan Rou’s place. Xu Yan stopped him. “Don’t go. She would never be by your side. Don’t disturb them.”
Lu Qing just didn’t want to leave any regrets. Although they couldn’t be together, they could still leave a few photos as a memento..
