Chapter 1228: You Can Do It!
But now it was different; there was an extra layer of concern.
After spending so long with Zhou Chengchen, Xi Siyan knew very clearly that, in fact, Zhou Chengchen didn’t really want to go to another city for university. She had never said it outright, but from some tiny details, and from a few chats with Zhou Qi.
Xi Siyan had already reached this conclusion: she liked this city. Even though she had lived here for more than ten years, she still had no desire to leave.
Traveling somewhere else for a bit was fine, but to go away and stay long-term—Zhou Chengchen had never even considered that.
So, Q University!
That was the best choice.
Given Zhou Chengchen’s grades, Q University shouldn’t be a problem in theory.
But after that last time, when a bunch of messy stuff caused her science comprehensive score to collapse and she lost the chance to get into the advanced class, that experience also served as a harsh lesson for her from another angle.
For that incident, sure, she could find reasons, but if her ability were truly strong enough, how could those messy things have affected her?
If the same thing had happened to Xi Siyan, Zhou Chengchen believed He wouldn’t be affected at all.
To be safe, Zhou Chengchen still didn’t dare relax. Every single day of senior year, she lived it to the fullest.
This sense of fullness might be tiring, but it was happiness.
The semester flew by, and soon it was the final exams again.
This year in B City, it had started snowing at the end of December. By mid-January, it had already snowed three times, one after another.
It was another snowy day. Bundled up tightly, Zhou Chengchen headed out to take her last final exam. Just like last year, this year their last final overlapped with the math competition.
Sitting in the car, Zhou Chengchen took her phone out of her pocket to check the time. Because of the snow, she didn’t go to school early like last year to meet Xi Siyan before the exam.
Cradling her phone, wearing the white fuzzy gloves that Xi Siyan had given her, with half her fingers sticking out, she slowly typed.
[Good luck!]
Send...
She hesitated for a moment, then found Zhou Qi’s number and edited a "Good luck" text to send to him as well.
At that moment, Zhou Qi and Xi Siyan were sitting on the coach. Compared to last year’s "just give it a try" mood, the atmosphere on the bus this year was clearly much heavier. Last year, having no good results was one thing, but if they still didn’t get any this year, everyone on the bus would have to start preparing for the college entrance exam all over again.
Compared with regular students, they would be completely behind.
After all, the college entrance exam doesn’t test only math.
The two of them received Zhou Chengchen’s text almost at the same time and pulled out their phones. Zhou Qi’s face broke into a smile and he clicked his tongue under his breath: "What, you got a text from Cheng Chen too?"
"Yeah."
Xi Siyan replied while typing his own message. Zhou Qi craned his neck over to look and instantly blurted out, "Damn—why does yours have one more exclamation mark than mine?"
Xi Siyan had already finished replying and put his phone back in his pocket.
He shot Zhou Qi a look of pure disdain, as if to say: are you a child, seriously fussing over something like this?
Though his gaze was full of contempt, Xi Siyan still said calmly, "It proves it wasn’t a mass text. Isn’t that good?"
Zhou Qi blinked: "That’s true."
Two seconds later, he jumped up again: "Then why don’t I have one more exclamation mark than you?"
This time, Xi Siyan couldn’t even be bothered to answer him. He pulled his coat tighter, rested his head against the window, and closed his eyes to get some rest.
