Chapter 147: The Big Shot Drinks Iced Cola
It didn't take long for the school gate to open, and the school broadcast sounded, telling the examinees to enter the venue to prepare for the exam.
The surroundings became even noisier.
Parents seized the last moments to urge and encourage their children.
"Son, what's the first thing you do when you get the test paper?"
"Check the paper, write my exam number and name. You've said it so many times, don't worry!"
"Daughter, keep it up, keep it up. Just perform at your usual level; Mom believes in you."
"Mm-hmm."
"Don't be careless; make sure you get the points you're supposed to get."
"Got it, got it."
Accompanied by similar conversations, the examinees walked into the campus one after another.
Qin Tian handed his phone to his mother for safekeeping and then prepared to enter the venue with Zhang Peng.
"Do well, keep it up!"
Tang Xiuxia clenched her fists and gave her son a bright smile to cheer him on.
"Don't worry!"
Qin Tian smiled, pointed at the phone she was holding, and reminded her: "Don't sneak a peek!"
"Who would want to look? Just focus on your exam and stop worrying about nonsense."
Tang Xiuxia rolled her eyes in disdain.
"Heh heh... Brother Tian, let's go, let's go."
Zhang Peng reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, and they walked into the campus together.
After walking two steps, this guy suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Xiuxia and grinned: "Auntie, I think you can still look. It's your own son's phone; can that really be called sneaking a peek?"
Qin Tian looked at him in astonishment and kicked him sideways.
Zhang Peng had been prepared; he dodged the kick with a cheeky face and bolted into the campus.
"You have the guts to stand still and not run!"
Qin Tian shouted.
"Hahaha... I'm out of here, I'm out of here."
Zhang Peng laughed triumphantly and ran even faster.
Qin Tian couldn't be bothered to deal with this jerk and turned his head to look at his mother.
"I won't sneak a peek, okay! Seriously!"
Tang Xiuxia frowned and feigned an impatient expression.
Qin Tian curled his lips in disbelief and decided to just let it go.
Let her look if she wants; there's nothing shameful to hide anyway.
Watching the two enter the campus, Tang Xiuxia and Zhang's father looked at each other, both feeling a bit between laughter and tears.
"I hope these two kids can always have such a good relationship."
Tang Xiuxia said with a gentle smile.
"Yes."
Zhang's father nodded with a chuckle: "My wife and I are very grateful to little Qin. During this recent period, Zhang Peng has not only made great progress in his studies but has also become much more sensible. Previously, his mother and I had already given up, but I didn't expect this brat to have a chance to get into an undergraduate university. It's all thanks to little Qin!"
"It's the result of Zhang Peng's own hard work. Our little Tian helping out is just what friends should do."
Tang Xiuxia said with a modest smile.
Just as Zhang's father was about to say something else, he was suddenly interrupted.
"Qin Tian's mother?"
The two looked toward the sound and saw a middle-aged man walking over, introducing himself with a broad smile.
The man had seen Qin Tian in the classroom a few days ago; he was Cui Ying's father.
After getting to know each other, Cui's father naturally expressed a lot of gratitude.
Afterward, the parents of the students in Class Ten who were assigned to this exam venue at the school arrived one after another.
"Qin Tian's mother, I've long heard of your son's name. He's truly impressive!"
"I also often hear my daughter mention Qin Tian. Qin Tian's mother, please share your experience in raising children with us!"
"That's right, that's right. My brat was a real headache before, with mediocre grades. It's also because of your Qin Tian that he's been working hard for the past two months."
"Qin Tian's mother, with your Qin Tian's grades, it's a sure thing he'll get into Tsinghua or Peking University, and he might even be the top scholar. It's truly enviable!"
"I heard from my child that your Qin Tian was deliberately hiding his strength before, and only made a stunning debut during the second mock exam."
"..."
Several parents chimed in, full of praise.
Tang Xiuxia, surrounded by everyone like the stars around the moon, had a radiant smile on her face. In the dozen or so years she had raised her son, when had she ever been this glorious?
"Oh, what educational experience do I have? It's all because the child himself is quite sensible."
"No, no, don't say that. I don't dare to think about things like being the top scholar. Whatever he gets, he gets. As long as he can get into a good university, that's enough."
"Sigh, I don't know what that brat was thinking, lying to me for so many years. To be honest, I was shocked when those mock exam results came out."
Tang Xiuxia's eyebrows danced, and she chatted and laughed with the parents with a glowing face.
It's a good thing I didn't let that brat come alone today; it was truly the right decision!
Qin Tian, who had arrived at the exam venue and sat down, didn't know that his mom was already grinning from ear to ear and had no time at all to sneak a peek at his chat history.
He looked around the surroundings.
There was no one he knew in the entire classroom, but some of the familiar faces were likely from the same school.
While he was observing the surrounding examinees, many people in the classroom were also looking at him.
Especially those sitting in front, behind, and to his sides—the examinees who were also from the Fourth Middle School—had more or less excitement in their eyes.
This was the study god who had scored near-perfect marks on both mock exams!
If they could just sneak a few glances at his answer sheet during the exam, that would be a huge gain.
Just then, Qin Tian felt his shoulder being tapped.
He turned his head in confusion and looked at the boy sitting behind him.
"Big Shot, hello. I'm from Class Seven. If there's a chance later, could you help me out?"
The boy asked with a fawning smile.
Qin Tian naturally understood and nodded with a smile: "I won't hide anything. If you can see it, then look!"
Anyway, at most, he'd only be copying some multiple-choice questions. As long as it didn't affect himself, he didn't mind doing a good deed.
"Clap!"
The boy suddenly put his hands together and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Big Shot!"
As he spoke, the boy picked up a bottle of cola he had bought and handed it to him.
"Come, come, drink some cola. I just bought it, haven't taken a sip, and it's still iced."
"No need, thank you. I have water."
Qin Tian couldn't help but decline, thinking that this guy had a personality quite similar to Zhang Peng's—he knew how to handle things.
Afterward, the two chatted idly for a few sentences.
The boy's name was Xue Qian, the type who didn't like to study and was always at the bottom of the class.
According to him, he had already prepared to go to a "home-stay" university, but he didn't expect to have such good luck to run into a big shot like Qin Tian.
"By the way, after the exam, I have to ask the old man to take me back to my hometown to burn incense for my ancestors."
Xue Qian said seriously.
Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, the two saw the invigilator coming along the corridor outside the classroom.
"Big Shot, I'm counting on you!"
Xue Qian lowered his voice and said this last sentence.
Qin Tian nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around, and stopped chatting with him. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
