Chapter 65
In the scorching heat of midsummer, the cicadas tirelessly played their summer symphony, as waves of heat rolled on. Under the shade of trees in the park, two people sat on a bench, leaning on each other. Gu Muxi was asleep, while Yi Feng, awake, played Snake on his phone.
Suddenly, the phone alarm rang. It was 2:10 PM. Gu Muxi was woken by the alarm, mumbling in a daze, “Stinky Yi Feng, what time is it?”
“Dummy, it’s 2:10 PM. Get ready; it’s time for the exam,” Yi Feng said with a smile, turning his head to look at her.
Gu Muxi slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them, “So soon…”
“Hm? Have you been here the whole time?” Only then did Gu Muxi realize she had been sleeping on Yi Feng’s shoulder, her cheeks flushing.
“Yeah, where else would I be?” Yi Feng said.
“Quick, wash your face to freshen up. We need to head to the examination hall,” Yi Feng said, moving his shoulder, feeling a bit sore.
To avoid waking Gu Muxi, he had maintained the same position, motionless for nearly an hour.
“Oh, okay!” Gu Muxi quickly straightened up, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“Did you dream? You were smiling so…happily,” Yi Feng asked, massaging his shoulder.
Gu Muxi recalled the dream, her cheeks reddening even more, and spat, “I did not!”
In fact… she didn’t know why she had dreamt of swimming in a pool with Yi Feng, and they were the only two people…
That scene… was too weird. She dared not share such dreams aloud.
“Forget it, I don’t care. Let’s go,” Yi Feng stood up.
“Wang Tie, let’s go!” Yi Feng called out to Wang Tie. 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com
Wang Tie hurriedly got up from the bench and responded, “Uh, okay, Brother Feng, wait for me!”
The three left the park and re-entered the examination hall. The afternoon subject was Chinese. Yi Feng flipped through the exam paper to check the essay question first.
As expected.
It was exactly as he remembered.
This was going to be easy.
Not scoring a perfect essay would be a disservice to all the preparation he had done.
Yi Feng picked up his pen and began writing furiously. Time flew by, and soon it was almost time to submit the paper early.
Outside the school, Yang Na, after her lunch break, arrived with her assistant Wu Gang and the cameraman.
“Do we really need to film twice?” Wu Gang asked, puzzled.
“Why do you eat breakfast if you’re going to have dinner?” Yang Na laughed.
“Uh…”
“The morning was math, the afternoon is Chinese. Have you forgotten our very important topic for the college entrance examination series? The essay!” Yang Na reminded him.
“Oh, right, right, we need to report on the college entrance exam essay, asking students about this year’s essay question,” Wu Gang realized.
“As usual, let’s catch the first student coming out of the exam hall,” Yang Na said with a smile.
She secretly hoped that the young man wouldn’t come out so quickly this afternoon. It’s Chinese, after all. Wouldn’t it be better to spend more time checking for typos and phrases?
Hopefully, no one would submit their papers too early this time.
In the sweltering heat, Yang Na took a big gulp of water.
“Hey, Nana, looks like someone’s coming out!” Wu Gang exclaimed happily.
Yang Na put down her water bottle, looked towards the school, and suddenly saw a familiar face.
“Spit!!!” She spat out the water.
“Cough cough! Why is he the first one out again?” Yang Na was astonished.
Because the first one out of the examination hall was still Yi Feng.
The parents at the school gate also noticed Yi Feng, murmuring among themselves.
“Why is he the first one out again?”
“Maybe he couldn’t write, just scribbled something and left.”
“Ah, he must have given up then!”
“In this world, there are few top students and many who don’t do well. It’s understandable.”
“Yeah, actually, many people take the college entrance exam just for the sake of it, planning to work in electronics factories after high school.”
“This kid, no future working in an electronics factory!”
Wu Gang whispered, “Nana, are we still going to interview him?”
“Of course, why not? Coming out first twice in a row, we definitely need to interview him properly!” Yang Na suddenly became excited.
She sensed a hot topic.
After Yi Feng walked out, Yang Na approached him again.
“Student Yi, how did you find the difficulty of this afternoon’s Chinese exam?” Yang Na asked directly.
Yi Feng scratched his head, “It was okay, not as difficult as I thought, just average.”
Yang Na and her team were taken aback.
Average difficulty? Still such confidence?
“Uh, could you tell us what this year’s college entrance examination Chinese essay question was? Our audience is very curious!”
Yang Na paused, then asked, “student Yi, you didn’t miss the essay question, did you?”
Yi Feng laughed, “How could I? The question was ‘Answers Are Diverse,’ with the theme being to look at things from different perspectives for various discoveries, to view problems from multiple angles.”
“Oh! So that was this year’s college entrance exam essay question. Thank you very much, Yi student, for sharing!”
“Lastly, one more question. Now that today’s subjects are all done, what do you plan to do after going home?” Yang Na smiled.
The most standard answer would be to prepare well for tomorrow’s exam, to perform even better, and so on.
“Of course, go home to eat. We’re having garlic oysters tonight!” Yi Feng licked his lips, looking like a greedy cat.
Clang~
Yang Na, Wu Gang, and the cameraman nearly fell over hearing this answer.
“Cough cough, I see. It seems student Yi is hungry. Then we won’t bother you anymore!” Yang Na coughed twice, awkwardly.
She was thunderstruck by such a response for the first time!
This young man, truly unconventional!
