Chapter 38: College Entrance Exam!
For something that anyone could tell at a glance what it contained, Li Mingyang didn't pretentiously toss it aside.
Nor did he open it with a delighted expression to see who had written him a love letter.
Li Mingyang simply gathered all the envelopes in his desk with a slightly solemn expression, silently stuffed them into his bag, intending to take them home and keep them.
Although he had no interest in who wrote these love letters, and his mind wasn't on such romantic matters.
But how could these things not be a testament to his youth?
When he grows old, even with gray hair, seeing these things might evoke a completely different feeling.
And this approach is the best way to handle it, isn't it?
It neither hurts others' feelings nor breeds resentment; after taking the items, he also gives no reply or response.
Let this matter slowly fade away; it's just a temporary hormonal surge of youth.
After a while, everyone will naturally forget that such a slightly embarrassing incident ever happened.
After seeing Li Mingyang's behavior, the homeroom teacher, who had been quietly monitoring the class situation, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing untoward happened today; moreover, because the college entrance exam is imminent, if Li Mingyang were to directly refuse
Or if he made such things known to everyone, it could very well affect the examinee's mindset for the college entrance exam.
Although the classmates are merely ordinary students with scores not particularly high, this is still one of the most important moments in a person's life.
Even if it only raises the score by two or three points, it can often produce a completely different outcome.
After seeing Li Mingyang again, so sensible and steady, the homeroom teacher finally felt truly at ease.
Heaven knows, when he just saw those little girls' bold actions, his heart almost jumped to his throat.
……
Son, today we're just taking it easy; perform at your normal level, don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Anyway, with our current level, even a casual performance could get us into a pretty good university; compared to a year ago, we've made great progress, right?
In the blink of an eye, the day of the official college entrance exam arrived.
Li Mingyang's luck was good; the exam venue was set at their own school, so he didn't have to rush to book a hotel like other examinees.
He could just stay at home.
Although they had previously said they would sell the house in the city, houses aren't so easily sold; however, the house in the provincial capital sold quite quickly.
But the house in Liangcheng City has lingered without a buyer; Li Mingyang guessed that part of the reason was that his parents didn't want to distract him.
He thought that even if they were to sell, they'd wait until after his college entrance exam.
Li Mingyang had nothing to say about that, after all it was also for his own consideration.
Moreover, after selling the house in the provincial capital, they had raised a substantial sum, plus savings, totaling over 1.2 million.
His parents had already allocated two plots, one large and one small, in the newly developed area of the town; even if the house in Liangcheng doesn't sell, it actually wouldn't have much impact.
After all, the two plots they occupy are already the largest in the soon-to-be central area of the development zone.
If they were to buy more, it might trigger some butterfly effects, possibly shifting the central area's location elsewhere in the future.
So regarding this matter, Li Mingyang decided to stop pursuing it.
Mom and Dad, I think you're the ones who are nervous, haven't you noticed that I haven't shown even a hint of nervousness these past few days?
Seeing his father's face completely written with the word 'nervous', Li Mingyang rolled his eyes a little in annoyance.
What's there to be nervous about? As long as you perform normally with your current grades, getting into the nation's top university is a piece of cake for me.
Even if it were better, it couldn't be any different; so what's there to be nervous about?
Hehe, I'm just thinking, better safe than sorry, let me help you relax a bit.
Hearing his son's complaint, the father wasn't angry; instead, he wore a fawning smile and actively gave Li Mingyang a shoulder massage.
At this moment, their roles seemed reversed, with Li Mingyang appearing to be the elder.
Alright, I already said don't come see me off, but you insisted; now I'm about to enter the exam hall, you two can just go home.
Rather than wasting time here at the exam gate, you might as well go home and cook.
You wouldn't want to have to eat out after my exam, would you? Although many restaurants taste good, but if our luck isn't good
... if we run into a black-hearted restaurant with no conscience, using gutter oil or something, we could get food poisoning straight away.
That would truly be a major factor affecting our exam performance!
Looking at his parents' appearance, Li Mingyang instantly guessed their plan: they were preparing to wait at the exam gate for him to come out.
Fortunately, when it comes to reading his parents' little thoughts, Li Mingyang can be said to have mastered it completely.
A couple of light words directly caused the old couple's thoughts to undergo a 180-degree shift.
Rest assured, don't your parents already know this? Go in and take the exam peacefully; after you're in, I and your father will go home to prepare dinner.
However, Mingyang, just remember: keep a normal mindset during the exam; there's no need to put that much pressure on yourself.
No matter what score you get, I firmly believe my son is definitely the best!
