In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

The doors of the Second High School, tightly shut during the summer holidays, were open again.

Because it was the day for some graduates to collect their university admission letters.

The first batch of schools had already finalized most admissions, and the letters were being sent to the Second High School one after another.

A big red list was posted at the entrance of the administration building, announcing the graduates' admission results. Students coming to collect their admission letters, along with many accompanying parents, gathered around to watch intently.

On the list, several big red banners stood out particularly.

"Congratulations to Qin Shiqing from Class 2, Grade 12, of our school for being admitted to Zhejiang University with an excellent score of 703!"

This time, no one from the Second High made it to Tsinghua or Peking University, but Zhejiang University is still an established prestigious school. Besides, with Qin Shiqing's high score and her status as a model student at school, she deservedly took the top spot in the announcements.

"Congratulations to Liu Kai from Class 1, Grade 12, of our school for being admitted to Fudan University with an excellent score of 658!"

"..."

Among these banners, one stood out as particularly unconventional.

"Congratulations to Su Zelin from Class 2, Grade 12, of our school for achieving a perfect score in the English subject and being crowned the single-subject top scorer!"

No one would have expected before the college entrance exams that someone like Su Zelin, who was considered a slacker, could make it onto the banners.

Even though he only made it to a second-tier university, he was still a little champion. People are sensitive to the word "champion," which adds to his fame; naturally, the school seized the opportunity to promote this achievement.

"Is this the Su Zelin who is the English top scorer? Why isn't his name on the first batch of admission lists?"

Some parents were puzzled.

Generally speaking, someone who tops a subject usually doesn't perform poorly in other subjects. With a perfect English score, his total should be high enough that getting into a first-tier university shouldn't be a problem.

"I heard this student's regular scores weren't great, just better in English!"

A parent in the know answered.

"So that's how it is..."

The previously puzzled parent suddenly understood.

Amidst the crowd, a bespectacled boy stared at the banners intently.

Zhao Mingxuan was having a mental breakdown.

Qin Shiqing wasn't admitted to Peking University but rather to Zhejiang University.

Su Zelin got the top scorer title in English.

These two things were a heavy blow to him.

Why didn't Qin Shiqing apply to Peking University?

Why could that slacker score a perfect in English?

It's maddening!

Just then, two figures on bicycles approached from afar.

The two main characters of the day had arrived.

Qin Shiqing came to collect her admission letter.

Su Zelin hadn't been admitted yet, but he also had business to attend to.

Collecting his prize money!

He was awarded a prize for being the English subject top scorer, so the school and the education bureau granted some prize money, taking the opportunity to hand it out when today's first batch of graduates collected their letters.

Su Zelin parked his bicycle and walked over. With his keen eyesight, he immediately spotted Zhao Mingxuan in the crowd. He opened his arms wide and said, "Hi, my dear class president, we meet again!"

Zhao Mingxuan instinctively stepped back a few steps, warily saying, "Don't come any closer!"

He wasn't afraid of being beaten by Su Zelin, just of the slacker being overly friendly.

Just like at the breakup party, this guy was so enthusiastic before stepping out that he ended up being inappropriate, making Zhao Mingxuan feel as if he had been bitten by a dog, an unforgettable discomfort.

"Class president, what are you afraid of? It's just a greeting, I won't eat you!"

Su Zelin withdrew his arms.

You may not eat people, but you're sick, and you bite, even bite men!

Just thinking about that unforgettable scene made Zhao Mingxuan's stomach churn with nausea.

Because of this damned guy, I'm not pure anymore!

"Zhao Mingxuan, congratulations on achieving your dream."

Qin Shiqing quickly spotted Zhao Mingxuan's name on the list.

He did quite well too, smoothly getting into Xia Country University of Political Science and Law.

"Thanks!"

Zhao Mingxuan first responded politely, then asked with full of grievance, "Qin Shiqing, didn't you say you were applying to Peking University?"

He had previously heard from other classmates that Qin Shiqing scored 703, which had made him extremely happy, thinking that both he and she would be going to Yanjing.

Who knew that the admission result would be a twist, leaving Zhao Mingxuan completely dumbfounded.

Never thought even you would deceive an honest person like me; in the end, it was all a wrong bet!

"I changed my mind when submitting my preference form in the teacher's office!"

Qin Shiqing smiled slightly.

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

Zhao Mingxuan asked again.

"There's no need for that, right? Besides, if I told you, would it change your preference?"

Qin Shiqing asked back.

Zhao Mingxuan said nothing.

Indeed, it wouldn't; attending Xia Country University of Political Science and Law had always been his dream.

He wouldn't change it because of his affection for Qin Shiqing and would always fill it in as his first choice.

If Qin Shiqing had told him about her change of heart at that time, he might have spent a long time being upset during the holidays. At least now he had enjoyed the majority of his vacation, even though it was ultimately for nothing.

Su Zelin reportedly applied to a financial college. He hadn't been admitted yet, but it's said the guy did well, performed exceptionally, and admission to the financial college was assured.

They aren't going to the same university as Qin Shiqing but are in the same city.

Sigh, it seems I'll have to keep being "green" for a while longer.

This green period is quite long, lasting a full four years!

...

Administration building, the conference room of the academic affairs office.

The principal of the Second High, Cao Jinliang, the two vice-principals, and some important school leaders were all present.

Because this time the prize money was being awarded, city education department leaders would come over and be on television. To show importance, the leaders naturally couldn't be absent.

Besides, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Old Guo, and the English teacher Lisa accompanied them.

This college entrance exam was the most glorious for Class 2, accounting for the highest number of first batch admissions school-wide and featuring a student, Qin Shiqing, scoring over 700, as well as an English top scorer, Su Zelin.
