Ye Shaohua slowly put away the admission notice, and, seeing Grandma Ye looking at her intently, she casually handed the notice to her.

"I’ve been good at math since I was a child, and although I couldn’t participate in math competitions because of living here, my assistant teacher gave me a Professor’s email. I had just sent the Professor the verification process for the Stokes’ theorem, and after learning about my scores, the Professor applied for the admission notice from the School."

Ye Shaohua looked at Lin Ying, whose face was slowly becoming stiff, "Honestly, the college entrance examination scores didn’t affect me at all; the math was too simple. I could score full marks with my eyes closed, so I was a bit surprised about my own and Lin Ying’s scores. I didn’t expect you to try to compete with me, Lin Ying. I didn’t have much suspicion at first, but after seeing it tonight, I still have doubts about your scores."

After saying that, Ye Shaohua didn’t bother with the group any longer, helping the stunned Grandma Ye, who was still holding the admission notice, to walk away.

The voice tinged with languor betrayed a certain aloof pride.

"Oh, by the way," Ye Shaohua suddenly remembered something when she reached the door, looking towards the Village Chief, "there’s no need for you to rush me and Grandma out anymore. Tomorrow, Grandma and I will head directly to Imperial City and won’t come back thereafter."

After speaking, Ye Shaohua closed the front door firmly.

Outside, some villagers who had heard Ye Shaohua’s words were initially stunned, then gradually showed expressions of regret on their faces.

"Grandma Ye, Grandma Ye, don’t—" someone began to talk softly, trying to smooth things over.

"What’s the fuss," the Village Chief, although also feeling a hint of regret – after all, it was extremely rare for someone to be admitted to Imperial University and this was the first from their village in twenty years – was angered by Ye Shaohua’s attitude, "They’ve never been worldly-wise. How can they easily manage in Imperial City, and that too, moving together? Without our fundraising, they won’t be able to afford tens of thousands of yuan in living expenses and tuition fees each year."

These were not empty words; there were villagers who had worked out of town, and they clearly knew the housing prices in Imperial City.

If the two of them were to move to Imperial City, even sharing rent would cost two thousand yuan a month, not to mention living expenses and tuition fees. How could Grandma Ye, an elderly woman, earn enough money?

A group of villagers thought it made sense.

But after this incident, they obviously lost the mood to chat any longer, each returning to their own home with a head full of thoughts.

Xiu An stared blankly in the direction Ye Shaohua had left for a while before dropping his gaze to the formulas on the ground.

"Do you understand this?" he asked Xun Hao softly.

The two were both studying Mathematics and Finance, and had completed advanced mathematics in their freshman year.

They recognized most of the symbols written by Ye Shaohua, but some of the formulas and the derivation process were truly complex.

Xun Hao shook his head, then turned his attention to Lin Ying, "Didn’t you say, her grades weren’t good?"

Lin Ying tugged at the corner of her mouth but couldn’t manage to smile, muttering something she couldn’t phrase a rebuttal for.

Ye Shaohua’s successive and bold actions had truly been a slap in the face; by now, she had completely lost the sense of superiority she initially possessed.

Let alone her, Xun Hao and the others also felt extremely awkward.

Thinking back on how they had looked down on Ye Shaohua before, utterly convinced she was jealous of Lin Ying, they now flushed with embarrassment, wishing they could bury themselves in a hole.

**

Ye Shaohua’s current home indeed faced financial hardship.

All the money in the house together wasn’t even a thousand yuan, and they had to wait for this year’s Zhuang Family harvest to get any money.

Grandma Ye was actually hesitant about leaving the village now, reluctant to leave the fields she had sown, but thinking of her granddaughter’s future, she steeled her heart.

She rummaged and found a paper that had yellowed a bit.

Ye Shaohua glanced at it; the paper had an Imperial City address on it.

Truth be told, Ye Shaohua wasn’t particularly fond of tidying up, but Grandma Ye was different. Thinking that they might never come back, she was almost ready to take everything that could be taken.

She packed up the smoked meat and sausages they had preserved during the New Year in big snakeskin bags.

The next morning, the two of them got ready to leave the village early.

As they set out, it was just getting light. Xun Hao was sitting under the tree at the gateway, smoking. Seeing them leave, he immediately stomped out the cigarette and, after apologizing to Ye Shaohua, only relaxed when Grandma Ye acknowledged him.

"You’re leaving now? Why don’t you wait a few days and we can leave together? We’re about to head back to Imperial City as well."

Grandma Ye shook her head, "No need."

Xun Hao seemed regretful and was about to suggest looking him up once they reached Imperial City.

Suddenly, a breeze blew past him, and he caught a delicate fragrance.

This fragrance was different from ordinary perfumes, a progressive blend of scents that seemed to explode from every pore upon smelling it.

Xun Hao, whose family had collaborations with international Perfumers, naturally recognized that such a nuanced fragrance indicated personal insight into perfumery.

"Grandma Ye, the perfume you’re wearing?" he asked.

Could the Ye Family, with their meager means, afford such high-end perfume?

Grandma Ye was quite proud, "Shaohua spent several days blending it for me."

As she spoke, she also gave a bottle to Xun Hao.

Grandma Ye was holding a very old bag, and next to Ye Shaohua was a large bag with cured meat and other goods, making the pair look like migrant workers entering the city.

Yet, Xun Hao didn’t feel the slightest bit of embarrassment radiating from Ye Shaohua.

"When you get to Imperial City, you can look for a job at this place," Xun Hao handed a card to Ye Shaohua, "Just say I referred you. Ye Shaohua, Imperial City is different from your village. The hardest part will be providing for yourselves. Once the perfume you blend can treat illnesses like Lin Ying’s, you’ll naturally not lack money to spend."

Xun Hao didn’t know that the perfume Ye Shaohua had blended for Grandma Ye was for treating her rheumatism.

Her insights into perfumery and medicine were beyond what Lin Ying could hope to achieve, even if she tried.

"Thank you." Ye Shaohua casually put the card into her bag and then proceeded to leave with Grandma Ye.

Xun Hao stood under the tree, watching the two of them depart.

"They’ve left?" Xiu An came over with a walking stick and saw Xun Hao’s thoughtful look, squinting, "What’s up?"

"Don’t you think, this Ye Shaohua looks really familiar?"
