Chapter 761: Handing in the Paper Early

Seeing that Zeng Xiaomei wasn’t intending to dig deeper, Xiao Yi’s expression finally relaxed a little. He wasn’t actually worried about what Zeng Xiaomei could do to the old man; joking aside, with the old man’s strength, a mere sneeze could kill her. Even considering the entire Zeng family, the old man could probably squash them with a single finger. What he was worried about was her persistent probing bringing trouble to the old man, and also causing some unnecessary trouble for himself.

"Since you’ve studied medicine and have some foundation, why don’t you go to medical school?"

After a moment of silence, Zeng Xiaomei suddenly remembered the question she had wanted to ask and looked at Xiao Yi with curiosity.

"That... um... I couldn’t get in," Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before replying.

The main reason he was at Z University was because of the old man’s strange, inexplicable command. And as for being in the School of Mathematics, it was because, at the time, the other faculties at Z University simply didn’t have room for him. Even if there had been space, according to Chen Jianguo’s arrangements, he wouldn’t have placed Xiao Yi in the Medical College. Most likely, it would be in one of those popular faculties.

But, of course, he couldn’t reveal any of this to Zeng Xiaomei.

"Oh? If I could arrange for you to transfer to the Medical College now, would you be willing to go?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s answer, Zeng Xiaomei didn’t think much of it. To her, it made complete sense; Z University’s entrance scores were very high. It was well-known that, among all the faculties at Z University, the Medical College had the highest cut-off. When Xiao Yi was choosing his school, preferring to study at a prestigious university like Z University, opting for less competitive majors over second-rate medical schools was understandable.

"This... Officer Zeng, I truly appreciate your kindness, but I’m quite fond of my current major and would prefer not to transfer."

Xiao Yi, seeing Zeng Xiaomei’s serious expression, couldn’t help feeling a bit touched. It was unexpected that she would be willing to help him like this. He knew that with Zeng Xiaomei’s influence, transferring his major would be an easy task.

But after a brief pause of surprise, he gratefully declined her offer. First, he didn’t want to be indebted to her; he wasn’t the type to like owing others favors. More importantly, he was quite content with his current situation. Many people at the School of Mathematics interested him, such as Zhao Hong, who had the name of a girl, Beichen Feng, and the unforgettable dean. Of course, there were also many people he had become relatively familiar with, like Fatty Tang, Zhao Yuhua, and that girl Zeng Xiaoxiao. Therefore, unless there was a special necessity, he wouldn’t consider changing things arbitrarily.

"Oh, well, if that’s the case then suit yourself," said Zeng Xiaomei as she nodded, not insisting further. After all, her acquaintance with Xiao Yi wasn’t particularly close nor was their relationship all that special. The offer she made was already a sign of considerable admiration, her wishing to give him a lift. One should know that although the Zeng family had significant influence, Z University wasn’t an ordinary institution, and making such a request in G City, where the university had always held a special status, would entail owing a favor. But since he didn’t want to transfer, she couldn’t force him.

She could not hide a trace of regret in her eyes, though. In her opinion, even though Xiao Yi had successfully treated the serious injury, and his medical skills had impressed several doctors, his training was still informal and somewhat lacking. If he could sharpen his skills in Z University’s Medical College, he would likely have a promising future. It was certainly possible for him to stay in a top national hospital like the First Affiliated Hospital of Z University after graduation, given his relationship with those doctors.

She was unaware that even though he hadn’t studied at Z University’s Medical College, the dean and others from the First Affiliated Hospital had already extended an invitation to him, and even at this very moment, the dean was planning an even more ’sincere’ invitation!

From the First Affiliated Hospital of Z University to the university’s front gate wasn’t very far, and with the roads clear at night, it took them only about half an hour before they could see the gate ahead.

"Alright, you can get off here, I won’t take you inside," Zeng Xiaomei said, not driving into the university but stopping the car on the side of the road not far from the gate of Z University. She unlocked the car door and spoke to Xiao Yi.

"Okay, Officer Zeng, thank you!" As the locks clicked, Xiao Yi felt a great relief wash over him, easing his tension. Barely containing his excitement at being ’released’, he thanked Zeng Xiaomei before pulling open the car door and jumping out.

"Study hard, no matter what the major is, make something good out of it."

Zeng Xiaomei nodded and watched as Xiao Yi hopped out of the car, seeming as lively as a fish entering the Jianghu. Her mood, which had been light, suddenly felt inexplicably stifled. She spoke in a steady voice, then turned and drove off, speeding towards the distance.

Xiao Yi, after getting out of the car, heard Zeng Xiaomei’s words and was just about to respond when she sped away. Through the fleeting moment before she left, he thought he saw a shadow pass over her face.

What... happened?

Was she angry just now? But wasn’t everything fine before? Why did she suddenly become angry?

Xiao Yi was startled as he watched the car vanish into the distance. It took him a while to snap back to reality and reflect on the tone of Zeng Xiaomei’s voice, realizing it indeed carried a tinge of displeasure. However, he really couldn’t understand why she would suddenly be unhappy, nor did he feel he had done anything wrong.

Sigh... Forget it, women are indeed the most baffling creatures in the world, their moods changing in the blink of an eye. Anyway, it’s better to be careful when dealing with her in the future.

After a while, Xiao Yi finally shook his head, stopped engaging in pointless speculation, and turned to walk briskly toward the direction of Azure Waterfront.

.......................................

The final exams at Z University finally arrived amid an incredibly tense atmosphere for review.

On the day of the exams, the campus atmosphere at Z University relaxed. The students, who had previously been tense, now walked the campus with smiles on their faces, smiles that carried a hint of anticipation, hope, and confidence for the imminent exams.

Laughter and lighthearted conversations could be heard everywhere.

This was a signature trait of Z University; its students would study frantically before exams, voicing lots of grumbling and complaints, but most weren’t afraid of exams. On the contrary, they had a natural fervor for them, eager to prove themselves, to stand out, and to showcase their talents during the tests.

This was because these individuals, without exception, had battled their way through numerous exams since kindergarten. They had built up an immunity to tests and developed their own ’ultimate winning secrets’ for exams through continual summaries. It was with these ’secrets’ that they had fought their way into Z University and become its students.

Different from those seasoned veterans, Xiao Yi, who was usually very calm, felt somewhat excited as he entered the examination room.

This was his first serious exam in life. He had been through countless assessments by the old man, in medicine, basic abilities, fist techniques, leg techniques, and inner strength, as well as those numerous ’thrilling’ assessments... but he had never sat for the same paper, the same test as many of his peers before.

Still, Xiao Yi was not an ordinary person. He wouldn’t fear real, life-threatening dangers and enemies on the battlefield, so why should he fear a simple test? Soon enough, he calmed his emotions and restored his composure.

As Z University’s final exams involved shuffled seating with one person per spot, Xiao Yi and Fatty Tang weren’t in the same room. There wasn’t anyone he knew in his examination room, so he enjoyed some peace and relaxed for a while before the exam began.

When he received the test paper, Xiao Yi’s eyes scanned through it quickly and he immediately had a rough idea of what to expect. He picked up his pen and started working through the questions one by one.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Yi had answered all the questions. After a thorough review, he submitted his test paper.

The exams at the university, or to be more precise, at Z University, didn’t have a time limit. If you were confident, you could submit your paper and leave within ten minutes, and the invigilators wouldn’t say a word. Hence, when Xiao Yi submitted his paper, the invigilator just frowned slightly but didn’t react much. He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yi to leave quickly so as not to disturb the other students.

However, the invigilator’s goodwill was ultimately not fulfilled. Although Xiao Yi left the room swiftly and stylishly, the students below didn’t become more composed but were stirred into a buzz instead.

Although everyone’s seats were randomized, they were still students from the same school taking the exam together. So, while many in the room didn’t know Xiao Yi, they were very familiar with him!

Especially after the recent incident where Xiao Yi challenged Fang Jingxu, rumor has it that Xiao Yi’s classmates spread the word throughout the whole school, making him even more widely known.
