Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 197: Oh! This damn fate!

Xia Ye had only walked a few steps when she saw Jiang Xuan’s figure.

As soon as Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao saw him coming, they exchanged a smirking glance and immediately, with great tact, went off to collect their respective parents from the classroom.

Jiang Xuan took Xia Ye’s backpack, placed the materials from the parents’ meeting inside, and naturally slung it over his arm. He patted her shoulder and led her outside.

Xia Ye raised her eyebrows at him, the liveliness and charm in her eyes something that wasn’t there when she was with others, a fact she hadn’t yet realized herself.

She asked, "Yang Ge praised me, didn’t he?"

Jiang Xuan’s lips curved slightly as he patted the top of her head, "Mm, what major do you want to study in the future?"

He directly asked what major she wanted to study, not what school she aimed to get into. Although it was but a difference of one word, it sounded very calm and composed.

Xia Ye wasn’t surprised, but she still probed a little, "You’re quite confident in my grades, aren’t you?"

Only someone who knew her would have such confidence in her.

However, Jiang Xuan skillfully avoided this question and subtly changed the subject, "Even if you don’t get in, I can make sure you do."

Xia Ye smiled and said nothing.

Two seconds later, she blinked.

Was there a double entendre in that last sentence?

After the parent-teacher meeting, the college entrance exam really wasn’t far off.

At the school gates, a big banner had already been pulled up, starting the countdown for the final sprint towards the exams.

On Monday, as soon as Tang Tianjiao entered the classroom, she was shocked to find Xia Ye’s desk quite transformed.

Ever since she became Xia Ye’s deskmate... the very next day, she had never seen Xia Ye’s desk so clean.

Unfortunately, Xia Ye wasn’t particularly happy; now that the desk was tidied up, she couldn’t find her things!

When it was especially messy before, she could miraculously reach in and grab whatever she wanted without looking.

This was a special ability exclusive to those who didn’t like to tidy up, an ability Jiang Xuan would never understand.

The students spent the last week in a mix of anxiety and excitement.

On the last Saturday before the college entrance exam, the students went to the school’s academic affairs office to collect their admission tickets, exam room assignments, and other information.

The college entrance exam sites and rooms were arranged by the education bureau; students were typically assigned to different schools to take their exams, which meant they wouldn’t necessarily be taking the test at their own school.

Xia Ye received her exam room information and was assigned to No.3 Middle School’s Room No.7.

Schools like No.3 Middle School and First Middle School were major exam sites for the current year’s college entrance exam in Capital City, so students from First Middle School were generally taking their exams either at their own school or at No.3 Middle School.

Zhou Yao and Tang Tianjiao both had exam rooms at First Middle School.

The three of them compared their assignments and found none of them matched.

After the exams, the three friends were likely to part ways. They had hoped to spend a few more days together during the two-day exams, but it was disappointing how things turned out.

Zhou Yao was aiming for Beijing University this time; she ranked 18th in the grade on the last mock exam. After the parent-teacher meeting, her mother shared with her the guidance she had heard from Yang Ge.

In past years, the most students First Middle School had sent to Beijing University at one time was ten. Based on that, Zhou Yao’s chances seemed slim, but Yang Ge had analyzed this year’s city rankings from the third mock exam and felt that the competition among top students at First Middle School was particularly fierce this year. Aside from Tian Ye who ranked first, the score gap between students in 2-10th place and those in 11-20th place wasn’t very big.

And that was just from the third mock exam. Zhou Yao had been studying hard recently, so she might still improve.

Although she had no chance with the high-scoring, popular majors at Beijing University, she could still hope for a place in one of the regular majors.

Tang Tianjiao, for her part, was confident she’d end up at the same university as her "Ye Ge."

On the last comprehensive mock exam combining all subjects, her total score was close to Xia Ye’s.

She was only a little higher than Xia Ye.

Worst comes to worst, she could just apply to a university one tier lower, as long as she could be with Brother Ye.

She shared her thoughts with Xia Ye, hugged her arms, and shook her leg with a particularly handsome flick, "What do you think, am I not practical?"

Xia Ye was silent for a moment, then patted her shoulder quite seriously, "Just apply to the best university within your reach, and give the exam your best effort, don’t think too far ahead just yet."

Tang Tianjiao thought she was worried about holding herself back, "Don’t worry."

The three of them were about to step outside when they bumped into Tian Ye coming in.

Entering the room, Tian Ye reported his candidate number, and a teacher from the academic affairs office printed out his information for him.

After printing it out, the teacher also kindly informed him, "Tian Ye, like Xia Ye who just left, you are both in exam room 7 at No. 3 Middle School."

Tian Ye and Xia Ye were both notable figures at school, and even the teachers in the academic affairs office were very familiar with them, naturally making a mental note of them.

Hearing the teacher’s words, Xia Ye’s group paused slightly as they were about to step out the door.

Xia Ye glanced casually at Tian Ye, who was looking back at her at the same time.

Once again, they were taking the same examination, and it was unknown what kind of fate this was.

Tian Ye pursed his lips and, seeing Xia Ye lifting her foot to leave again, called out to stop her.

Xia Ye halted, turned her face to look at him, "What is it?"

Tian Ye seemed to have gone through an internal struggle before saying, "No. 3 Middle School is far, you should get up early tomorrow."

Xia Ye curved her lips slightly, "What, do I look like someone who loves to sleep in?"

Tian Ye thought to himself: Yes, not only do you look like someone who loves to sleep in, but also like someone who might forget the time and get the exam room wrong.

He especially disliked meddling in other people’s business, but he couldn’t help wanting to nag her.

After all, they were schoolmates.

However, faced with Xia Ye’s question, he neither wanted to say yes nor lie, so he just stood there for a while, "Forget it, consider I didn’t say anything."

It was already quite a coincidence that two of them were in the same examination, but what was unexpected was that on the No. 3 Middle School side, there was an even bigger coincidence.

Xia Yourong had just received her exam room information in the company of Xu Qing, labeling her exam room as No. 7 at No. 3 Middle School too!

Of course, she did not yet know who else would be in her exam room, and right now, she was very nervous about the college entrance examination happening the next day.

The week off she had taken earlier, it wasn’t until a couple of days ago that she felt like she had regained some semblance of normalcy.

She hoped that heaven would take pity on her for falling ill so suddenly, allowing her to achieve good results in the college entrance exam!

The countdown numbers on the big banner at the school were decreasing with each passing day.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the college entrance examination arrived—

On the morning of June 7th, the campus of First Middle School was deathly quiet. Teachers and students had not arrived yet, but the staff members had already early replaced the big banner at the entrance.

The countdown banner was taken down and replaced with two new ones.

’Go for it! Wishing all examinees a remarkable victory in the college entrance exam!’

’Challenging life is my regret-free choice, securing victory in the college entrance exam is my relentless pursuit!’

Several buses had already stopped at the school’s entrance, ready to transport students to other schools for the examination.

Everything was ready to go.

At the Xia Family’s, Xu He was up bustling about at 5 a.m., preparing to personally make breakfast for Little Tiangao.

The breakfast before the college entrance exam couldn’t be just any ordinary breakfast; it had to bring good luck!

As she was busy, the doorbell rang, and Wu Ma, who had just gotten up, looked at the time in a daze. Who could it be this early? freewёbnoνel.com
