Chapter 49: Chapter 49: These Are Two Underachievers

"Son, don’t stress too much, just do your best on the exam."

Outside the exam venue, Empress Dowager Ye glanced at Lin Yi, who was about to enter, and for once, she revealed a gentle smile.

On the other hand, Lin Yi, without a care in the world, waved his hand:

"Don’t worry, Empress Dowager Ye, I certainly won’t put any pressure on myself, hehe. Alright, I’m going in now. Lao Lin, you can go shopping around or something."

After saying this, he swaggered towards the exam hall.

Behind him, Empress Dowager Ye heard her son’s words and resisted the urge to take off her slipper, muttering to herself, "This is my own son, my own son!"

...

"Alright, viewers, I’m currently at the first exam venue in Qinhuangdao, where the highly anticipated college entrance examination is about to begin. I’m sure everyone in front of their screens can feel the tense atmosphere. Yes, being here on-site, I can feel the tension of every student passing by."

"Will they be able to achieve good scores? Will they be able to get into their dream universities? I’m sure these are the thoughts in the students’ minds right now. Let’s randomly find a candidate to interview and see what they’re thinking at the moment."

"Hey, student, hey! We’re from Qinhuangdao Television Station, and we’re doing a live online show ’College Entrance Exam in Progress.’ Can I bother you for a moment and ask you a few small questions?"

Lin Yi, who was leisurely walking towards the exam hall, was suddenly blocked. While continuing forward a bit confused, he looked up and saw a somewhat pretty girl shoving a huge microphone towards his mouth.

This startled Lin Yi, who stopped in his tracks and tilted his head to narrowly avoid being hit by the thick microphone. Goodness, this girl is aggressive enough to try and blow me up...

Xiong Cancan, the intern reporter, felt a bit apologetic seeing she nearly hit the handsome guy in front of her, so she quickly withdrew the microphone and repeated her question:

"Hello, student. We are on-site reporters from Qinhuangdao Television, doing a live online show ’College Entrance Exam in Progress.’ May I interrupt you to ask a few small questions?"

Looking at the live broadcast equipment before him, Lin Yi suddenly realized they were TV reporters. However, he was a bit puzzled, "Television stations are doing live broadcasts these days?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiong Cancan flashed what she thought was a charming smile:

"Keeping up with the times, our coverage airs live online and simultaneously on television."

Uh, simultaneous with the TV? How advanced is that? Didn’t expect my first chance on TV would come just like that!

Thinking he’d be on TV soon, Lin Yi thought his image was crucial. He looked down to check his clothes, adjusted his T-shirt collar, flashed a self-proclaimed dashing grin, and offered the reporter a sunny smile, showing two rows of little white teeth:

"Sorry, I’m rushing for an exam. If you want to interview, best wait for me to finish first."

After saying this, he gave the reporter another sunny smile and headed straight to the entrance without looking back.

In a livestream room named ’College Entrance Exam in Progress,’ chat comments erupted among dozens of viewers.

"Uh, what slick moves are these 666!"

"How come students today lack even the most basic politeness?"

"66666, this freshman’s got style, and he’s really handsome too!"

"Sigh, the host questioned the wrong person here. Just by looking at him, you can tell he’s a poor student. Asking him about the exam is like rubbing salt in the wound."

Although the stream was titled ’College Entrance Exam in Progress,’ not all the viewers were parents; many were just there for a laugh or to pass the time.

So the chat was full of random comments, with most speculating Lin Yi was a full-fledged academic slacker.

Watching Lin Yi, who had already walked away, Xiong Cancan snapped out of the sunshine smile daze, stomped her foot in frustration, and couldn’t help but mentally rage: ’What kind of person is this! Humph, not even taking Missy’s interview!’

The cameraman next to her, seeing Xiong Cancan’s unsuccessful start, awkwardly coughed while redirecting the camera towards the steady stream of exam takers, and gave a small, helpless reminder:

"Uh, Cancan, maybe let’s try interviewing a girl next."

Xiong Cancan thought this made sense and nodded, and just then, a girl dressed rather plainly walked past.

The girl was taller than herself, and from the looks of it, was not from a wealthy family, since she’d been walking with her head down the whole way.

"Hmph, surely this one won’t refuse me."

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Xiong Cancan put on a smile again and approached the shy girl.

Meanwhile, the cameraman quickly followed along.

"Hello, student, we are on-site reporters from Qinhuangdao Television, Xiong Cancan. May I interrupt you to ask a few small questions?"

Xiao Zihan was in deep thought about solving a math problem when someone spoke to her, startling her. She promptly halted and looked up confusedly, seeing Xiong Cancan holding a microphone.

Seeing the tall girl’s outfit with the oversized nerdy glasses, Xiong Cancan sighed to herself, wishing she had the height...

Noticing the camera pointed at her, Xiao Zihan felt uncomfortable and awkwardly waved her hand, softly saying:

"Sorry, I have an exam."

Following that, she bowed her head and bypassed Xiong Cancan, moving away.

"No, you’re kidding! This..."

Watching yet another student evade her, Xiong Cancan almost broke down. What was happening? Was it really so tough to ask a few questions?

Meanwhile, chat in the livestream room was buzzing again:

"Wahaha, I see now, it’s the host’s fault!"

"Hahaha, watching the host get rejected repeatedly is entertaining!"

"I’m a Peking University master’s student, and I deduce these two students are definitely the slacker type. If not, I’ll do a handstand to pee live."

"666, count me in for handstand peeing!"

Xiong Cancan took a glance at the chat comments, feeling utterly defeated, and regretted suggesting to the station to operate any livestream channel...
