Chapter 305: Graduation Banquet

"598 points."

Bai Mo knew that this score was enough for her to get into Huai Da.

Even her College Entrance Examination score and Jiang Sinian's both contained the same number 8; it really was fate.

"That's so great, you two did way too well!" Zhu Yuanyuan said with genuine envy, "I only scored 520, I can only go to a second-tier university."

She was big-hearted and gossipy, so she soon had no time to feel sad for herself and turned to continue asking about other classmates' grades.

"What? Jiang Yue, you actually scored 619? Didn't we have the same teacher? How is the difference so big?"

She and Jiang Yue were almost a hundred points apart!

Hearing that Jiang Yue actually scored that high, the corners of Bai Mo's mouth drooped in an unsightly way; she hadn't expected Jiang Yue to score so much.

Heaven really is unfair!

But it didn't matter; as long as she could go to Huai Da, that was enough.

The most important thing for a girl isn't how many points she can score, but whether there is someone who loves her.

Jiang Yue had a crush on Jiang Sinian for so long, yet Jiang Sinian was never willing to give her a response, and even after breaking up with her, he didn't get together with Jiang Yue, which showed that the person Jiang Sinian truly liked in his heart was still her.

It could be said to be quite pathetic.

Thinking this way, Bai Mo felt much more comfortable; for someone like Jiang Yue, even scoring full marks had no meaning.

Although there is constant emphasis on gender equality and that women should be independent and self-reliant, one has to admit that in any field, the highest-level leaders are men.

Women just need to conquer excellent men.

The class monitor rented five tents in total, as well as five barbecue grills, and the students took out the barbecue ingredients they had brought from home one after another.

Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue brought three small bags, among which were some Jiang Siyu had prepared for her brother.

Based on her understanding of her brother, even if he passed by a supermarket, it would be impossible for him to think of buying anything.

Sure enough, Jiang Sinian took one of the bags away without any psychological burden.

Heh~ men.

Jiang Siyu called out to him and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Um, why haven't I seen Fu Yang today?"

"He didn't come?" Jiang Sinian looked around, and he really didn't see that kid.

At any rate, he had tutored him before the College Entrance Examination; a teacher for a day is a father for life, so now that the scores were out, he should at least come to report to him, right?

Unreliable thing.

If he dares to harass his sister again in the future, he'll break that guy's legs.

"He didn't come."

Jiang Siyu didn't intend to send him a text message, as if she wanted to see him so much.

"Then he probably overslept," Jiang Sinian guessed.

Jiang Siyu:...

The barbecue grills were set up, and a group of young kids began to grill things with great seriousness.

Jiang Siyu usually only took responsibility for eating at home; sometimes she couldn't even tell if food was raw or cooked.

On their side, Jiang Yue acted as the "head chef."

Jiang Siyu was responsible for wiping sweat and providing emotional value.

"Wow! Jiang Yue, the lamb skewers you're grilling are so, so fragrant! There's no difference from what a professional chef grills!"

Jiang Yue:...

"These are beef skewers."

Several women couldn't help but be amused.

In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, an abrupt voice rang out, "Bai Mo, you didn't bring anything?"

This voice came from their class monitor.

Although it wasn't explicitly specified what ingredients everyone had to bring, since people came and didn't bring anything to eat and drink for free at others' expense, it was a bit unreasonable.

Bai Mo didn't expect this damn class monitor to be so meddlesome; noticing it was one thing, but he actually shouted it out so loudly.

Now that Shen Yuan had just found a job selling clothes at a shopping mall, she only made two thousand-something yuan a month and still had to save up for her tuition; where would she get the spare money to buy these useless things?

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Bai Mo said, on the verge of tears, looking pitiful enough to move anyone.

The class monitor immediately regretted it.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's normal to forget," the class monitor helped her smooth things over, "I brought plenty of things today, I'll grill some for you to eat in a bit."

The class monitor was a fat man; Bai Mo could tell that the class monitor liked her, and she returned a somewhat moved smile.

Sure enough, after a while, the lamb skewers and squid the class monitor grilled were immediately brought over for her to eat first.

"Do you like our Mo Mo?" Zhu Yuanyuan teased, "However, our Mo Mo already has someone she likes."

She spoke with implication.

Unfortunately, not far away, Jiang Sinian was chatting away with a few good friends, not even casting a glance in this direction.

Jiang Siyu ate some grilled corn; every time Jiang Yue grilled food, she would give the first bite to her.

Because Jiang Yue usually liked to cook, the taste was quite good, but for some reason, she didn't eat much.

Until the party ended, Fu Yang never came.

After returning home, Jiang Siyu lay on her bed tossing and turning; what she thought about most was whether Fu Yang had failed the College Entrance Examination.

It was very possible; his grades were average, his intelligence wasn't high, and apart from a face, she hadn't discovered any other strengths for the time being.

Forget it, she'd better send him a message.

After all, she had once given Fu Yang a book; she just wanted to ask where that book was.

Are you there——

The message was sent, and ten minutes later, the other side replied with a weak "Here."

Jiang Siyu did not reply immediately after seeing it, but instead exited the app to scroll through Douyin for a while.

Replying to a message too quickly seemed as if she were very idle and had been waiting the whole time.

After five minutes passed, Jiang Siyu finally replied.

You didn't go to the gathering tonight?

Then, the other side kept showing "typing..."

It displayed for a full two minutes; Jiang Siyu almost wanted to crawl through the phone to see what on earth he was brewing.

Didn't go.

In the end, the other side only replied with these two words.

How did you do on the exam? ——

Finally having asked the question she wanted to ask, Jiang Siyu felt, for some reason, even more nervous than she was about knowing her own results.

509

Jiang Siyu looked at this score and breathed a sigh of relief.

It could be considered a normal performance for Fu Yang, but it wasn't enough to get into Huai Da.

Actually, not getting into Huai Da was no big deal; there were some decent second-tier universities near Huai Da that she had inadvertently kept an eye on.

That's good then, have you decided which school to apply to? ——

This time, Fu Yang replied to the message quite quickly.

My mom wants me to study abroad.

Jiang Siyu looked at the words "study abroad" and suddenly felt that she was somewhat ridiculous.

So it turned out that he already had better plans.

She had actually been foolishly worrying about which school he would attend.

That's great.

She replied with these three words, then turned off her phone and went to sleep.

It was for the best; he had originally come from abroad, so returning now could be considered going back to where he came from.

This small patch of land in Huaiyang couldn't keep him.

For the next several days, Jiang Siyu stayed at home to binge-watch dramas or went to find Jiang Yue to go to the library and watch movies.

Suddenly going from high-intensity studying to being idle, she was still a bit unaccustomed to it.

The Jiang Family held a celebration banquet for their advancement in school.

It was at Zuiyun Lou.

It was very grand, and many friends and relatives came.

The eldest uncle of the Si Family directly gifted his nephew and niece the latest models of computers, tablets, and phones, and the second uncle of the Si Family gave them a travel fund.

Wan Fang and her son also came.
