Shen Qian opened his eyes, looked at the vibrating bracelet, and answered the phone with some surprise.
The phone was a video projection. On the other end, Ding Yizheng, wearing navy blue pajamas, was lying sleepily on the bed, half of his face buried in the pillow, looking at Shen Qian with hazy eyes.
"get up."
"You called me just to wake me up?"
Shen Qian was a little amused and glanced at the time, "It's only six o'clock. The exam doesn't start until nine o'clock. I can still make it in time even if I get up at eight o'clock."
"No matter what, get up quickly." Ding Yi didn't seem to wake up completely yet, and there was a rare hint of coquettishness in his muttering tone.
"Okay, okay, get up right away..." Shen Qian could not bear this, and sat up from the bed in excitement.
"I watched you go out." Ding Yi shook his head and propped up his body on his elbows.
...This button is so white.
Shen Qian became more energetic.
But soon, Ding Yi discovered that Shen Qian's eyes were wrong and warned: "Don't look around."
I haven’t seen you cover up your neckline either...
Shen Qian complained inwardly, but as expected, his eyes became much straighter and he only peeked out of the corner of his eye.
"Admittance ticket."
"Pencil? Pen? Eraser?"
"Bring two more."
Ding Yi, who kept urging Shen Qian to get everything he needed, and then watched Shen Qian leave the house, yawning profusely, hung up the phone.
Ding Yi seems to be getting more and more tired in recent videos. Normally, a novice warrior is full of energy, so even if he doesn't sleep all night, it's not a big deal.
Shen Qian guessed that it might have something to do with the Beiwu training camp she was participating in, saying it was to prepare for a large-scale event that was about to be held by the Martial Arts Club.
After going downstairs, Shen Qian found several old men and women who had gotten up early pointing at an extended Hongqi luxury car, and Shen Qian also walked over curiously.
"Uncle Zhang, whose luxury car is this?"
Before the uncle could answer, the car door was pushed open, and Huo Ling'er, who was wearing a ponytail, was waving to Shen Qian with a bright smile, "Shen Qian, get in the car quickly!"
"You..." Shen Qian opened his mouth, but when he saw that the eyes of the uncles and aunties around him were all wrong, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get in the car first.
"What are you making a fuss about?" Shen Qian glared at Huo Ling'er.
"I'm here to take the exam with love!" Huo Ling'er said confidently, "You are the light of our No. 7 Middle School, so of course I have to make some contribution to your great cause of the college entrance examination!"
"Does that mean I need to stay up all night?" Shen Qian glanced at Huo Ling'er's dark circles under her eyes, which could not be covered with powder, and sighed.
Huo Ling'er blushed, "This... this has nothing to do with you, I just have insomnia."
After eating the breakfast brought by Huo Ling'er, Shen Qian looked at Huo Ling'er's satisfied look. After thinking about it, he said, "Just this once, don't come here again. I still like to take the tram."
After Huo Ling'er reluctantly agreed, the red flag car had already arrived at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School.
Fortunately, as the best middle school in the city, the entrance of No. 1 Middle School was crowded with luxury cars, so the red flag was not too eye-catching.
Before Shen Qian got out of the car, he felt a warning sign in his mind. He grabbed Huo Ling'er with his little mouth and asked in shock, "What... are you doing?"
Huo Ling'er's face turned red. After a long time, she lowered her head and murmured: "Dian...it is said in the movie that a girl's kiss can increase your luck."
"..."
Shen Qian let go of Huo Ling'er and quickly slipped out of the car.
When I walked into the gate of No. 1 Middle School and merged into the crowd of people going to take the exam, I looked up at the red silk hanging on top of the statue of No. 1 Middle School, with slogans like "Win the College Entrance Examination" written on it. Shen Qian's heart was in turmoil. Then he gradually settled down.
If you let the system take action, taking the liberal arts exam should be extremely easy.
But Shen Qian was unwilling to do this.
That was tantamount to completely negating the efforts he had spent on the book in the past three months.
The key points in this book are not difficult, but the difficult part is to get the top score in liberal arts.
But this time, Shen Qian wanted to give it a try with his own ability.
…
The three-and-a-half-day exam was either slow or fast.
"...The top is poor and the blue is falling, and the bottom is the underworld. Where the path is, that is where the heart is!"
When he finished the last word, Shen Qian checked the previous answers again, then breathed out slightly, closed the examination paper, and raised his hand to signal to the invigilator.
"Martial Arts Theory" is the last subject. The question types and ideas are similar to Chinese. However, the examination content is all the basic knowledge of martial arts and has more memory points. This subject is also the easiest for Shen Qian today.
Similar to the previous subject, the invigilator glanced at the clock on the wall in surprise, then walked over with a frown.
There was still nearly an hour before the end of the exam, and it was no different from the previous invigilator. The other proctor severely criticized Shen Qian, thinking that Shen Qian should not give up the college entrance examination so easily.
After repeatedly confirming that Shen Qian really wanted to hand in the papers, the invigilator could only take away Shen Qian's papers and let Shen Qian leave the examination room.
Already accustomed to the surprised and disapproving looks of others in the examination room, Shen Qian walked out of the classroom and summarized himself again.
There is no big problem with the Chinese language, but the handwriting is a bit ugly, so maybe a few more points will be deducted from the composition.
There is nothing to say about mathematics. All the questions have been solved, and Shen Qian will re-verify it with another solution. It can be said to be the most stable subject.
English is also relatively easy. At most, one or two points will be deducted from the essay score, but Shen Qian can guarantee that he has no grammatical errors.
Not to mention Japanese, a simple one is that the voice of the girl who does the dubbing is not very good, which slightly affects the efficiency.
Then in the "Liberal Arts Comprehensive", there should be no mistakes in the multiple-choice questions and the true or false questions. It is difficult to say the subjective questions, but Shen Qian has written them all.
"Science Comprehensive" should not get a perfect score.
As for "art appreciation", it is also a subjective matter and it is difficult to say.
All in all, Shen Qian was quite satisfied with his performance in the liberal arts college entrance examination.
That night, a minor disturbance occurred, making Shen Qian a "celebrity" again.
The cause of the incident came from the interview Shen Qian received when he walked out of the No. 1 Middle School.
At that time, Shen Qian was thinking about his own affairs and briefly dealt with the reporter from the TV station. He thought it was just a routine interview with college entrance examination students by the TV station. It was not until the local TV station broadcast the news in the evening that Shen Qian realized something was wrong.
"The first senior high school student in Jingcheng City to walk out of the examination room."
This is the headline of the news.
First, netizens on local forums had a heated discussion about the matter, such as "moral decay", "education distortion", "eighteen years of hard study only resulted in self-destruction and self-destruction by handing in papers early" and so on, which made Shen Qian dumbfounded.
Then Shen Qian's bracelet exploded.
First, the classmates in the class started to go crazy @深圳, and then Huang Tao, Zhao Hanhai, Liu Simin and others called one after another to inquire about the situation.
Huang Tao and Zhao Hanhai are more rational. They don't actually care about Shen Qian's score in the liberal arts test. Anyway, the four major universities have already picked Shen Qian casually, so they are more from the perspective of comfort and concern.
Liu Simin is different.
"...No, Teacher Liu, why am I teasing you? I really want to take the top prize... Hello?"
After an education, Liu Simin ignored Shen Qian's "nonsense" and hung up the phone directly.
Then Ding Yi's call came in immediately.
"Shen Qian..."
Ding Yi's voice was a little weak, and a little hoarse if you listened carefully.
"It's fake. I've finished all the questions, and I did really well." Shen Qian explained immediately.
"Tell me the truth, will you come to Beidu again?" Ding Yi asked directly.
Well, I still don’t believe it…
Shen Qian had a headache.
He thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I confess, I did not take the liberal arts exam very well. That is because my martial arts has made great progress, and it is not a problem to get into a better martial arts university... …”
"...Really?" Ding Yi said dubiously after being silent.
"Let's put it this way, my strength has now reached, um... more than 140kg... Yes, you definitely heard it right, I swear by the love between the two of us as childhood sweethearts!"
"Bah, whoever has... that with you, that's good. Come on, do your best for the martial arts exam."
Ding Yi finally believed it, and Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it’s really strange that no one believes in the world!
However, his strength is indeed over 140kg, which is not wrong.
…
June 13th.
Shen Qian, who had been staying at Kyushu Budokan for two days, was awakened by his mother's phone call.
Although Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan had no idea how powerful their son was now, they knew that Shen Qian had been a novice martial artist for a long time, so they rarely asked about Shen Qian's college entrance examination.
Somewhat strangely, he answered Wang Xiaojuan's call. Only then did Shen Qian know that someone had sent a package to his home in the morning. Wang Xiaojuan had not opened it, but it seemed to be some document or something.
However, Shen Qian didn't care anymore. After chatting with his mother for a few words, Shen Qian hung up the phone.
Today is the day when Jingcheng students rush to the provincial capital to rush for the exam. Yesterday Liu Simin called everyone one by one to make notifications. Shen Qian looked at the clock on the wall. Considering that he still had to "dress up", time was already very tight.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Xiaoxuan carefully helped the neatly dressed Shen Qian tidy up his collar, then put his ID card and martial arts examination admission ticket into a document bag and handed them to Shen Qian.
Before going out, Shen Qian looked at himself in the mirror.
The carefully designed trendy hairstyle, after applying hair wax, looks like a boy band debut. The pure white long suit is put on the well-proportioned body, giving off a high-spirited and youthful atmosphere.
The long black military leather boots added a little more height to Shen Qian... At least Xiaoxuan had to use her feet to reach Shen Qian's neck.
The saying "people rely on clothes" is indeed true in a sense.
Yesterday, Shen Qian went to a luxury store in the city center and spent a total of 80,000 yuan on this outfit.
The inspiration for the white suit comes from Big Brother Gao. Sure enough, after wearing it, his temperament has improved by more than one level. It is very suitable for showing off to others.
Today is the day to go to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination in martial arts. Shen Qian attaches more importance to it than to liberal arts.
Part of the reason came from the banquet hosted by Chai Haotian, the lord of Jingcheng City the night before yesterday.
At Nuo Da's dining table, there were only him and each other.
There was no substantive topic to talk about, but Chai Haotian, as a powerful man of mountains and seas and the lord of a city, treated Shen Qian so politely, which speaks volumes.
In addition, Shen Qian also heard some news from Liu Changqing last night.
Wang Shuo took the college entrance examination again.
It's just that the other party is a senior high school student in Beidu Affiliated High School and is in Beidu for reference.
Shen Qian estimated that Chai Haotian should also know about this matter. He didn't know how the other party would react, but if this matter had been exposed two days earlier, maybe Chai Haotian's promise the night before yesterday would not be so implicit.
Wang Shuo, like Shen Qian, came from an ordinary family, and his family conditions were not very good.
Ten years of accumulation of news resources in Jingcheng, coupled with the tilt of countless training resources in one of the schools, finally brought about such a result. Chai Haotian would no longer be able to maintain the demeanor of eating that night.
After saying goodbye to Xiaoxuan, Shen Qian accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye when he walked out of the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall, but he saw an unusually familiar figure on the other side of the street.
"Old Man Hu?"
Shen Qian was stunned. The limp walking was definitely him. But when Shen Qian subconsciously wanted to chase after him, he was stopped by a bus that happened to be passing by.
When the bus disappeared, Old Man Hu's figure also disappeared.
What is Old Man Hu doing here?
Shen Qian frowned.
The last time I saw "his secret" under Old Man Hu's bed, Shen Qian had never seen him again, and he didn't expect to meet him here today.
If the other party was here to wait for him, he shouldn't be so mysterious, and what Shen Qian saw just now was just his back.
…
In Jingcheng No. 7 Middle School, the playground was crowded with people.
Today is the day for the senior high school students of No. 7 Middle School to take the martial arts college entrance examination. The school specially held a "departure ceremony". Students and parents who took the martial arts exam were invited to participate. There were also many students from No. 7 Middle School who came uninvited. Very lively.
Five buses were parked next to the playground.
After the ceremony, the principal Huang Tao will personally lead the team and take the reference students from Jingcheng to Mingcheng, the provincial capital, to participate in the martial arts college entrance examination that lasts for a total of three days.
At this time, nearly two hundred students in the senior year of Jingcheng No. 7 Middle School who had registered for the martial arts college entrance examination had basically gathered in the open space in the middle of the playground and formed a formation.
A podium was set up in front, and under the encouraging banners, Huang Tao, Zhao Hanhai and other school leaders sat quietly.
Seeing that the ceremony had not started yet, the students below couldn't help but start talking.
"Teacher Liu, didn't you say it would start at nine o'clock? It's almost ten past nine, why haven't the principal and others moved yet?"
In the small group of Class 109, squad leader Lin Xiaojuan couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe you are still waiting for the leader of the Education Bureau?"
Liu Simin actually didn't know the situation very well, but seeing that there were still a few empty seats next to Huang Tao, she also had a guess.
Although Liu Simin was a little strange, she had not received any news that a leader from the Education Bureau was coming...
Moreover, according to the practice of previous years, the leaders of the Education Bureau usually only go to No. 1 Middle School even if they participate in the school's expedition ceremony.
Liu Simin asked the head teachers of other classes about the situation, but no one knew the inside story.
There was a class teacher who was related to the leader of the teaching department. After making inquiries on the phone, he only said that he had received a temporary notice and that a leader was indeed coming.
"By the way, Shen Qian hasn't come yet. Didn't I remember he signed up?"
Zhou Xu looked around and saw that the 21 students from Class 109 who took the martial arts college entrance examination were all here, except Shen Qian was missing. "Old Wang, do you know what happened? He gave up?"
"His whereabouts have become more and more mysterious recently, and I don't know..."
Wang Yangming thought of the mysterious Liu Changqing and the Tower of Babel, and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
"Shen Qian won't really give up on himself, right?"
Zhang Liangwei frowned and said, "We @ him so many times that night, but he didn't say anything."
"Obviously he worked so hard before, he shouldn't... No matter what, he can't give up easily. Even if he is not good at martial arts, as long as he does well in the liberal arts exam, he might have the opportunity to be admitted under special conditions. After all, some majors in martial arts are better Focus on IQ."
Lin Xiaoqian sighed, looking very regretful.
As Ding Yi's best friend, and her feelings towards Shen Qian have changed a lot recently, she really hopes that the two of them can have a good ending.
"Okay, stop talking, the leader is here."
When Shen Qian was mentioned, Liu Simin was also a little upset, but she didn't show anything. When she saw people coming to the podium, she waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Isn't that Director Shao? He actually came in person?"
The students were a little confused, but the teachers present recognized the person and were all surprised.
They thought that even if a leader came to the expedition ceremony of No. 7 Middle School, it would only be a deputy at most, and Shao Weiyuan was the head of the Jingcheng education system!
"Hey, isn't that Lu Yingfu, the director of the Jingcheng Martial Arts Bureau? Director Lu is here too?"
Another person took the stage, and this time, it was the students and parents who exclaimed earlier.
As the martial arts director, Lu Yingfu has appeared on TV and the news quite a lot. For many ordinary residents who have no idea, apart from the city lord, the martial arts director is the strongest.
what's the situation?
Not only were the students surprised, the teachers were also shocked.
Let alone the expedition ceremony, the martial arts director has probably never set foot in this place since the establishment of No. 7 Middle School.
Excluding the transcendent Marquis of Jingcheng, most ordinary people's understanding is correct. From a power perspective, the martial arts chief is indeed the second most powerful person in Jingcheng.
Sometimes, even the Lord of Jingcheng cannot order Lu Yingfu, after all, the Martial Arts Bureau is directly under the jurisdiction.
But what really shocked everyone was not the appearance of the martial arts director and education director, but the fact that after the two sat down, there was an empty seat in the middle.
Now, not only the teachers and students on the playground were commotion, but also Huang Tao, who was sitting on the podium, was also a little surprised.
Apart from the Marquis of Jingcheng, the only person in Jingcheng who could make these two people give up their positions was Chai Haotian.
The city lord actually wants to be present in person?
He had just received a notification from the City Lord's Mansion, saying that a few more seats would be prepared, but he did not expect that Chai Haotian would also be present.
Sure enough, everyone became excited as the middle-aged man in a gray coat appeared.
No matter how low-key Chai Haotian is, people in Jingcheng still know him.
"What's going on? The city lord actually attended the expedition ceremony of our No. 7 Middle School?"
Everyone started talking, some in disbelief.
But after the TV team arrived and set up cameras at the scene, everyone knew it was true, and the ceremony might even make the news.
"It's been ten years since this kind of scene happened last time, right?"
Uncle Xu, who was watching on the side, sighed.
Everyone is familiar with this old administrator of the physical testing center. A student from Class 110 immediately asked, "Xugong, are you saying that our school has also visited City Master before?"
"I've been here before, that was when the previous city lord was still there... Hey, you kids now probably only know Wang Shuo. In fact, ten years ago, our Jingcheng had a peerless genius, and He’s from No. 7 Middle School!”
Uncle Xu came to have some conversation and recalled.
"Have it?"
Many students are confused.
Lin Xiaoqian frowned and recalled it, then suddenly realized, "Ah, I see, is it the senior named Jiang Chengye?"
"Yes, yes, I also have some impressions. This person is mentioned in the school history of No. 7 Middle School. He seems to be the only genius in the history of our No. 7 Middle School who won the No. 1 Scholar in the Ministry of Martial Arts!"
Zhang Liangwei also remembered something and said loudly.
There are several top students in every class, and more people also think of this figure who has been recorded in the school history and has become a historical symbol.
"Yes, it's Jiang Chengye. I even taught him history at that time."
An old teacher wearing glasses sighed, "I remembered what Old Xu said. The scene was very big at that time. The city lord came to practice it himself. Jiang Chengye did not live up to his high expectations. It became a success that year." Became the top scholar in martial arts."
"Then what happened next? Where did Senior Jiang go? Why have I never heard of his name again?"
Zhou Xu asked a question that many people were curious about.
"He should have been admitted to Jiangzhong Military and Military Affairs, and then... I don't know about it after that. It seems he didn't return to Jingcheng." The old teacher frowned and recalled carefully, then shook his head.
Everyone had a heated discussion and found that no one knew about Jiang Chengye's subsequent whereabouts, and Jiang Zhongjunwu had already closed the school. Soon everyone's attention returned to the present.
"The mayor wants to see us off in person?"
"Hey, Shen Qian actually missed such a famous scene. I will definitely give him a call later. I won't regret it after seeing him..."
As an ordinary high school, No. 7 Middle School has always been ranked in the middle of Jingcheng, occasionally ranking at the top. Today, so many big figures from Jingcheng appeared to practice for them, and an uncontrollable sense of pride arose spontaneously.
Let alone students, few teachers can manage their expressions well.
At this time, the leaders on the rostrum had finished their greetings. As Chai Haotian sat down and held the microphone, everyone present knew that the ceremony was finally about to officially begin. They all fell silent and stared at Chai Haotian eagerly.
Chai Haotian coughed lightly and was about to speak. Suddenly, his secretary ran up from the audience and said something in Chai Haotian's ear.
Chai Haotian was obviously startled. He glanced at the crowd below, then leaned back slightly, and there was no movement again.
The people around him were confused. Huang Tao seemed to ask something in a low voice. After Chai Haotian's secretary explained a few words, everyone on the rostrum understood and fell silent, holding their hands and stopping talking.
Then the playground fell into an eerie silence again.
"Teacher Liu, what are you waiting for?" Lin Xiaojuan said blankly, "There's no way... the Marquis of Jingcheng is coming too, right?"
Liu Simin couldn't answer Lin Xiaojuan's question because she was also at a loss.
At this time, a figure squeezed through the crowd from the outside and entered the playground.
"Please give me a chance and borrow it... Hey, Uncle Xu, you want to come and see the fun..."
Liu Simin followed the sound and saw that Shen Qian, who had arrived late, was still leisurely greeting acquaintances in the crowd, and her face darkened.
"Shen Qian!!"
In her impatience, Liu Simin failed to control her volume, which immediately attracted many people to follow the sound.
