The Dongfang Private High School finally got a top student in the college entrance examination. Principal Wang was even more happy and excited than the top student herself. On the phone, he couldnât say anything other than repeating this sentence, which made Lin Xu a little worried.
Zheng Guangyan came over with a plate of fruit. When she heard loud laughter from the phone, she couldnât help but look sideways, then asked silently: âWho is it?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Xu made a gesture, took a breather in the middle of Principal Wangâs laughter, and finally asked: âPrincipal Wang, are you saying that our Qingyin is the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City?â
When Zheng Guangyan heard this, she immediately sat next to Lin Xu and pressed her ear tightly from the phone. She wanted to hear the good news with her ears.
Principal Wangâs voice was a bit sharp because of the excitement. It was three octaves higher than usual: âNot only the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City but also the top scorer in all provincial college entrance examination! 735 points!!! She has more than a dozen points than the last yearâs top scorer in the college entrance examination!â
Lin Xu and his wife stood up in shock, and their voices soared immediately: âPrincipal Wang, are you sure? We havenât opened the webpage yet. Is this score accurate?â
âOf course, I checked it myself.â Principal Wang happily pulled his hair and added with great confidence: âI wonât talk to you anymore, I have to make a new banner quickly. Before, I am only expecting her to be the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City, but I didnât expect our little master will be the first place in all the provinces.â
Principal Wang canât control his excitement anymore and hung up the phone. When Lin Xu and his wife heard the beep sounds from the phone, they felt that it was not real.
âThe champion of the provinces! We need to set up a few tables!â Lin Xu stood up and circled the living room: âInvite your mother, brothers, and the others over here. Let them stay at home for a few days, and celebrate!â
Lin Xu and his wife happily called their family. Grandmother Zheng could come at any time, but her two uncles and aunts will only be free on weekends. Lin Xu discussed with the Zheng family and decided to pick up his mother-in-law and live in their house for a few days.
Grandmother Zheng always felt that because she had two sons and two daughters-in-law, she couldnât just leave them. So even though Lin Xu invited her several times, she refused. But this time was different. Lin Qingyin became the top student in the college entrance examination. The whole family was dazzled, she was willing to stay there for a few more days to celebrate.

Lin Qingyin was sitting in the bamboo pavilion and drinking tea while meeting her clients. On the other hand, Jiang Wei was sweating anxiously outside. The Imperial Capital University and National University called one after another after the results came out. Jiang Wei canât say that Lin Qingyin was doing fortune-telling and has no time to answer the phone, so he can only find an excuse to hang up first.
People from the admissions office also cried in their hearts. It wasnât that they didnât think about calling Lin Qingyinâs parents, but it was estimated that the couple was calling their relatives and friends to announce the good news, so they couldnât get in at all.
Jiang Wei cautiously entered the divination room with the phone and found a place to sit and listen to Lin Qingyinâs fortune-telling. The client was an aunt in her 40s. She made an appointment more than half a year ago.
Her son also took the college entrance examination this year. The couple didnât know know what to do after the entrance examination. They discussed and decided to let the little master figure out which school and which major will be the most suitable for their son. Of course, their son didnât know about this matter. Otherwise, their family will be in a mess.
While waiting for her turn, the aunt received a call about the results from her husband. It was both good and bad. She guessed it right. Her son just barely passed. This score was a little dangerous to apply for the second rare colleges, but she was a little unwilling to let him to the third-rate colleges.
