Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Chu Fa Da’s Soft Heart

June 7, 2019.

Cloudy.

Temperature 22-35 degrees.

Zheng Country.

Tianshui City, Tianshui River South Section, Tianshui Second High School.

The traffic on the streets was cautious, barely daring to honk, and at the not-so-spacious intersection, there were 8 traffic police officers standing in the early morning, everything orderly and stable.

Everyone unanimously wanted to provide a better environment for the high school exam candidates.

Where Tianshui Second High School is located, in the Tianshui River South Section, is not part of the city center, but rather an area awaiting development, usually with only one bus service.

Yet today, thanks to the influx of candidates from all directions, it burst with unparalleled energy.

Just by looking at the dense crowd of students and their parents outside, one can tell that such an important event as the high school exam cannot afford to waste a single second!

—Yet despite countless warnings and reminders, how come it was delayed?!

Early in the morning, homeroom teacher Old Chen was already sweating like a river.

On one hand, he was gathering the students taking the exam at the school, tightly clutching the bag with the admission tickets in his hand.

On the other hand, he constantly stood on tiptoe, attempting to stretch his round potato-like body into a cucumber, hoping to spot the student he most wanted to see amidst the bustling crowd.

—It’s already 8:30!

The front lines are already arranging to enter the exam halls, how come Chu River, that girl, hasn’t arrived yet?

Old Chen was panicking to the point of desperation.

He stared at his phone, regretting a thousand times not insisting on the student accepting his old phone back then.

...

Zheng Country emphasizes education, even though Tianshui City is just a small prefecture-level city, barely touching the edge of third-tier cities, there are indeed quite a number of schools in the city.

Therefore, the candidates spread out naturally.

Students from the honors class under Old Cheng were assigned to the original school, but only a few.

If further refined within the social circle, the only one familiar to Chu River was Little Curls Li Yi.

This friendship was purely from exchanging notes!

Little Curls was anxious—

They had even planned how to earn living expenses for the school genius, this high school exam cannot fail! At this moment, clutching his phone, he looked around while urging Old Chen:

"Old class, why don’t you call her home!"

Not to mention, the more he talks, the more anxious Old Chen becomes.

How could he not have called?

He called early in the morning, but those parents were unreasonable, first babbling incoherently, falsely claiming that Chu River was hysterical, going home to steal money and beat people.

While at the same time, they feigned a sudden realization, saying things like "Oh, today’s the high school exam..." and other nonsense.

Can you believe what kind of mindset creates parents like this?!

It must be that when Nuwa was creating humans, inadvertently took out the stink fish and rotten shrimp from the pond!

Little Curls was also desperate, but among this group of siblings, it was always Chu Fa Da who was the leader, the rest could only listen obediently.

Now with no way to contact her, he had no choice but to keep looking around yet again, being pushed down by his clueless parents:

"Deep breath, deep breath, don’t worry! Just perform your usual ability."

"Don’t be nervous."

...

The front line was slowly moving, although the sun hadn’t emerged, the air was humid and oppressive.

The official statement of a 35-degree high temperature, at the moment, feels unquestionably above 37 degrees, making Old Chen’s sweat continuously drip down.

At times, it’s hard to tell if it’s anxiety or nervousness.

Once again he stood on tiptoe, looked around, eventually sighed bleakly and endeavored to calm the remaining students:

"Don’t worry. It’s estimated she’ll come soon, everyone shouldn’t worry about others, they have their own arrangements, make sure to steady your spirits, there are still 45 minutes..."

Then he opened the sealed bag in his hand.

"Do you have your admission tickets ready? Check your stationery... Alright, parents don’t need to come forward anymore, I’ll take them into the school."

As he spoke, he guided the students towards the school gate.

Inside his heart, there was pride and excitement, along with two parts of apprehension, like a foolish father sending off his daughter to get married.

These little shoots all grew under his care.

Watching the students enter the gate, Old Chen exhaled deeply, his carefully arranged expression instantly collapsing, before he had time to adjust, he was engulfed by the crowding parents.

While worrying about their own children, everyone also worriedly asked:

"Mr. Chen, the student who hasn’t come, can’t you reach them yet?"

"A student in Mr. Chen’s class, oye, they’re all prospects for prestigious universities!"

The more people talked, the more Old Chen’s heart burned like fire.

Once again, he struggled to stand on tiptoe, but before he could breathe the air above, his shoulders were firmly pressed down, and a familiar voice rang in his ear:

"Old Chen, am I on time? Your blood pressure hasn’t spiked, has it?"

The old man nearly shed tears at that moment, but fortunately, despite the crowd, Old Chen cared about appearance, turned around, and clapped the girl’s arm:

"You, kid, why do you leave me worried till the last minute!"

While shaking his hand, he took out the admission ticket, ID and stationery from the plastic bag for her—

"Take it all, take it, I’ve got extras..."

This homeroom teacher had an odd appearance, two asymmetrical eyes set on a potato-like big head, red as if tormented.

For some reason, Chu River felt softness inside her heart.

She rarely changed her usual demeanor and smiled embarrassed:

"I had a part-time job last night in the mountains, it’s a bit far, not easy to catch a ride, so I was delayed running down the mountain."

Thinking, that reason might not suffice, a top scorer wouldn’t instantly bring Old Chen happiness, therefore, she added:

"I worked really hard last night, now I’ve earned college tuition and living expenses, Old Chen, I’ll treat you to drinks later."

When did Chu Fa Da ever speak so tenderly?

At this moment, it felt a bit unnatural, hurriedly snatched her things from Old Chen’s hands and ran towards the school without looking back.

At the gate, she didn’t forget to turn around and flash a smile:

"Old Chen, wipe your tears, I’ll return as a top scorer for you!"

The girl’s voice was clear and bright, full of unparalleled confidence and self-assurance, resonating through the chaotic and oppressive atmosphere outside the exam hall, even causing the air to fall silent momentarily.

Old Chen wanted to remain reserved.

He thought it’d be better to stay low-key until everything settled.

But somehow, his lips and brows lifted, couldn’t help standing on tiptoe and raising his hand, responding loudly—

"Hey!"

After calming his emotions, turning back around, the parents beside him watched the school gate sighing, shaking their heads:

"I originally heard from my child that this class’s top student, their family couldn’t afford poverty subsidies, never thought it’d be..."

"Who knew the hardship would be like this, even needing to work during the high school exams..."

"So close! I first heard it was a student from Mr. Chen’s class, didn’t expect it was the top student!"

"Exactly, the girl’s capable, saw her during the parent meeting, tall but too thin, a gust of wind could blow her away..."
