Otherwise, why would he give me something so intimate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he has feelings for me, he shouldn't give me such a thing, it will be so awkward when we meet in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At around 5:30 PM, Qin Youguo and Li Shujie returned home and immediately smelled a familiar aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shujie said with a smile, \"Xiao Hao, did you buy Jiangshan Roasted Duck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his mom's words, Qin Hao was startled, \"Mom, you know the name of this roast duck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Qin answered, \"Your dad and I just bought one on the way home. It tastes just like the one you bought last time. We didn't expect you'd buy one this afternoon as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, \"It's okay, we'll set the other one aside, and just heat it up in the microwave later, the taste won't change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Youguo, sitting on the couch, said, \"I heard the Jiangshan Roasted Duck store is right next to our community; it will be convenient to go there whenever we want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shujie went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner as soon as she got home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qin said to Qin Hao, \"Come sit down, Xiao Hao, your dad wants to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao sat on the couch, curiously looking at his dad, \"What is it, Dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The unified exam is the day after tomorrow, right? Are you confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao smiled and nodded, \"Don't worry, I won't let you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Youguo showed a relieved smile, \"Confident about reaching the second tier?\" He didn't dare to hope too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, \"No problem, Dad, just wait to invite your friends and relatives then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did this cheeky kid learn to brag?\" Qin Youguo glared at him, unamused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao said earnestly, \"Dad, I'm not bragging. I've let you down many times before, but not this time. I will make you proud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Youguo stared at his son's expression, his eyes closing briefly. He had had a lot to say, but now he was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Mr. Qin said, \"Dad believes in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by slowly, and then it was June 6th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. and Mrs. Qin both took the day off from work and drove him to the entrance of Changle Second Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of Changle Second Middle School, there was a lot of traffic, and even more people, as nearly all the students' parents had come to drop off their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao got out of the car and said, \"Mom, Dad, you don't need to see me off. Our home is so close, I can just walk back after the exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can we not! This is a very important affair for our family,\" Li Shujie intervened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Youguo suddenly said, \"Xiao Hao, isn't that your classmate Xia Qing over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked up and froze when he saw the two people next to Xia Qing. Aren't they the uncle and aunt who came to my duck restaurant that day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they possibly Xia Qing's parents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't let them see me, or I'll give it all away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao hurriedly said, \"Mom, Dad, I'll go in now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we'll wait here for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao skirted past Xia Qing's parents and made his way to the school entrance, where police were maintaining order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief check of his admission ticket at the main gate, he was let inside, to hall 10, seat number 22.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were signs throughout the school, and exam room ten was on the second floor of the academic building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived outside his exam room where a proctor from another school was checking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after triple checking for any mistakes did they let him into the exam room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now 8:40 AM, with twenty minutes until the start of the exam, and the room was already full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found his seat, sat down, and looked around, seeing mostly unfamiliar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because participants at Changle Second Middle School weren't only from this school, there were also many students from other schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 9:00 AM, the classroom door was locked, the standardized test papers were distributed, and the four proctors in the room began to circulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, cheating on the exam was very difficult, each room not only had four proctors but also electronic surveillance cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the test paper, Qin Hao straightened up and began working on the questions seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire exam room was silent, and the proctors tried to slow their steps to avoid disturbing the students' thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"shush\" sound of students writing could be heard in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time trickled away slowly, Qin Hao worked at a slow pace, of course, this was compared to his usual pace on practice tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was more serious and meticulous than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than an hour later, Qin Hao finished writing the essay, and had completed the entire test paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around; some were frowning in thought, others were writing rapidly, and some even fell asleep on the exam table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left him dumbstruck, as this was a standardized test. How could they treat it so casually?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he recalled a saying, \"How you treat life, life will treat you in return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you treat life carelessly, then life will treat you carelessly in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his paper and started to check it from beginning to end to see if there were any mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Qin Hao had checked his paper thoroughly once and found a mistake, which he corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not relax just because he had checked once, but kept checking over and over again, striving for perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This serious, patient attitude lasted until 11:30 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 11:30 AM, the proctors promptly collected the answer sheets, gathering everyone's papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao sighed deeply, then picked up his things and walked out of the exam room, heading towards the school exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one session this morning and another in the afternoon, with two more exams tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of school, Qin Hao found his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him come out, Qin Youguo and Li Shujie both eagerly asked, \"How did it go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao smiled and nodded, \"It was fairly simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good, tired? Let's go home, and mom will make you something delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked as they got into the car, then slowly drove away from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar scenes played out in many places, some joyful, some sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong, seeing their daughter come out, smiled and asked, \"Xiaoqing, how did it go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty good, not too difficult,\" Xia Qing said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked around, did not find that particular figure, and got into the car with her parents to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 2:00 PM\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin once again dropped him off at the school gate, this afternoon's subject was mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a difficult subject to define; to some, the questions were not tough, but to others, they were very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some could score over a hundred forty points, even a perfect score, while others struggled to even pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao entered the exam room early, and at 3:00 PM, the mathematics exam officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.324Z",1,"novelbin.me","de01d5810a03f39404bb2cdd9ad773a41f148de6c90816317db2c147c996bacc","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-42","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-40",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
