Chapter 49 – Qi Yun: I’m Really Envious of You!
At dinner time, Qi’s mother came back with a bag full of groceries. As soon as she walked in, she saw Wang Shang working on the dining table.
“Wang Shang, why are you sitting here? Don’t you want to go to the room?” She said with a bit of concern for him.
“This place doesn’t even have a desk lamp. If you study here, you’ll hurt your eyes!”
“Auntie, there is a chandelier.”
“That light is too dim. You must be uncomfortable on that stool. Here, let me get you a chair. Go inside. The light is better there.”
Wang Shang felt as though she was calling him fat. “Auntie, Honestly, I’m fine here!!”
“Fine? How can you be fine? I’m telling you, if you don’t take care of your health at your age and continue like this, you’ll regret it when you get older!”
Qi Yun’s mom was a very warm-hearted person. She pulled a chair and took Wang Shang inside Qi Yun’s room.
“Look, this chair is placed in the right place. Sit here. The light is better too. Your mom entrusted you to us. We can’t let you become nearsighted!”
Wang Shang opened his mouth but couldn’t speak a word of refusal under Qi Yun’s mother’s enthusiastic urging.
She even gave him a fruit plate and placed it by his hand.
“Treat this place as your own home! Tell me if there’s anything you need!” She even reminded him.
Wang Shang: “…… Thank you, Auntie.”
Meanwhile, his inner thoughts: “Auntie, I’m fine on my own!”
Looking at Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue, Wang Shang couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
What did it mean by inescapable? He now understood it.
……
When someone is fully devoted to a task, time seems to fly by quickly.
Qi Yun with Lian Qingxue and Wang Shang, studying every day, day after day passed unknowingly, and finally, the day of the first mock examination came.
Spring City’s Chuncheng No.1 High School had two extensive exams before the college entrance exam: the first mock examination and the second.
These two exams were held together for all high schools throughout Spring City.
The difficulty of these two exams and the specifications of the papers were exactly the same as the college entrance exams.
Even the senior students would be spread into different classrooms and take the test in separate examination rooms. All the processes were under the college entrance examination.
It could be said that these were two large real-life combats.
Most people’s performance in the mock exams was often close to the college entrance exams scores.
Schools certainly took it seriously. Students certainly paid more attention to it.
……
“What to do? Qi Yun, I’m so nervous! I’ve never been this nervous before!” Wang Shang said with a crying face to Qi Yun. He was panicking.
Even though Wang Shang had studied for so long, he felt extremely anxious the day before the exam. He couldn’t even sleep last night.
Qi Yun looked at Wang Shang’s worried expression and couldn’t help but laugh a little.
The most nervous about exams weren’t those who scored the best or the worst.
Those who scored the best upon completing the exam responded similarly, “I spent little time reviewing my answers.” “The test was hard. I couldn’t finish it”. And “I’m sure I failed this time. It’s too bad.”
They appear to be the most anxious, and you couldn’t help but chuckle.
It turned out that even the top students also did not do well in the exam.
Like me, hehe!
But wait until the results come out.
He scored 135 points, and you 35 points.
That’s when you would understand that they were just pretending!
The worst performers appeared to be the least anxious. They had a balanced temperament.
Were the exam questions difficult?
What a joke!
It was as if they were saying it was easy for them to solve it immediately!
And when you ask how many scores they can get out of a hundred and fifty?
They would reply with, “It all depends on how many marks God gives me!”
They exude a relaxed attitude.
Those who were the most anxious about the exams were individuals similar to Wang Shang, who had average scores and studied hard yet lacked self-confidence.
Qi Yun knew that Wang Shang had made progress compared to before. He had studied harder and had a better attitude.
In his previous life, he had significantly improved his grades in the last three months before the exam.
Not to mention, in this life, there was Qi Yun.
In Qi Yun’s eyes, Wang Shang’s performance was even stronger than even before his previous life’s college entrance exams.
Stronger than before, there is no problem at all.
He was just anxious and lacking confidence. He patted Wang Shang’s shoulder.
“There’s nothing to be anxious about. You’ve studied so hard this month. You can definitely do well in the exam.”
But these words obviously couldn’t comfort Wang Shang.
“Of course, you have no pressure. You are already in the first place. If I have such excellent results, I wouldn’t be worried ……”
Wang Shang said enviously.
Qi Yun sighed. “Just because I’m in the first place doesn’t mean I have no pressure. Don’t you think so?”
“Really?” Wang Shang was stunned.
Could it be that the top scored also had trouble?
“Yeah! Think about it, you ranked thirty on your last exam. You still have room for improvement at twenty-nine! And me? The most I can do is to get another first place!”
“I really envy you guys. You can still improve, while I can only standstill at the first place!”
Qi Yun sighed sadly: “If I were to say what I regret the most, it’s that If I didn’t hold back on the last exam and accidentally took the first place ……”
Wang Shang: “……”
He wasn’t anxious anymore. He just wanted to punch Qi Yun.
