Chapter 27: Conclusion

8:49 AM.

Li Dong stormed into Exam Hall 31, ignoring the stunned proctors and students.

He marched straight up to Feng Jinsong, grabbing his collar and coldly said, "Hand it over now!"

"Hand over what? Li Dong, what are you talking about!"

Feng Jinsong's eyes flickered, but he ignored Li Dong and shouted to the proctors, "Teacher, he's not from our exam hall!"

Two proctors had already approached, and a middle-aged male proctor scolded, "What are you doing! This is the college entrance exam. Do you want to have your exam qualification canceled?"

Li Dong ignored him and coldly stared at Feng Jinsong, "If you don't hand it over, you won't be taking the exam. Even if I can't deal with you now, there are still three more subjects to go!"

A hint of panic flashed in Feng Jinsong's eyes. He knew what kind of person Li Dong was. If he was determined to take revenge, Feng Jinsong wouldn't be able to escape.

Even if Li Dong got caught and went to jail, what good would it do to Feng Jinsong at that point?

He was a rich kid with good grades and a bright future. Was it worth risking everything just to fight Li Dong?

Feeling some hesitation, Feng Jinsong was about to deny it but saw the cold, even fierce look in Li Dong's eyes and was suddenly afraid.

Barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Li Dong was just a poor student, while he was like a precious gem. There was no need to fight to the death with Li Dong.

Seeing that Li Dong was not willing to give up, Feng Jinsong gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't take it, but I think I saw it in the trash can by the teaching building entrance."

"Hmph! You'd better pray I find it, or you're finished!"

Time was too tight, and it wasn't the right moment for revenge. Li Dong snorted and turned to leave.

The proctors saw him leave and didn't press further. They merely frowned at Feng Jinsong, noticing that he was causing trouble in the exam hall, which suggested he wasn't a good student.

8:55 AM.

Qin Yuhan stood at the entrance of the teaching building, her eyes filled with both hope and worry.

She wanted to accompany Li Dong to find Feng Jinsong, but without an admission ticket, the gatekeepers wouldn't let her into the exam hall. So she had to wait at the entrance.

At this moment, Li Dong ran downstairs.

Breathless, he hurriedly said, "The trash can, the one at the entrance, hurry and find it!"

Without waiting for a response, Li Dong quickly tipped over the trash can on the left side of the entrance, scattering garbage everywhere.

The gatekeepers of the teaching building saw this and were about to stop him, but Li Dong said urgently, "Teachers, the admission ticket is lost. I'll clean up after the exam!"

The gatekeepers were momentarily stunned, but one of them, who looked like a minor leader, immediately shouted, "Everyone help look for it, don't waste the exam time!"

Others quickly stepped forward to help. Li Dong showed a hint of gratitude but knew this wasn't the time for thanks.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuhan, disregarding the filth, began searching through the pile of garbage.

8:57 AM.

Qin Yuhan held the dirty admission ticket, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Li Dong thanked the gatekeepers and, seeing Qin Yuhan's happy expression, sighed in relief. He took a deep breath and said, "Go into the exam hall. Calm down and take your time. Don't let it affect your performance."

Qin Yuhan knew time was tight. Seeing Li Dong sweating profusely, she didn't care about the dirt and used her sleeve to wipe his sweat, tearfully saying, "Thank you, Li Dong!"

She couldn't imagine what she might have done if Li Dong hadn't been there to help her.

"There's no need for thanks. Go ahead!" Li Dong smiled and wiped away her tears.

He hurriedly turned and ran toward the teaching building. Being fifteen minutes late meant he couldn't enter the exam room. Thankfully, there was still enough time.

---

At 9:00 AM, Li Dong entered the exam hall, drenched in sweat.

The proctors did not make things difficult and just checked his ID and admission ticket before letting him return to his seat.

Li Dong had been running for half an hour without stopping. As he sat down, he immediately felt sore all over.

After resting for nearly half an hour, Li Dong felt much better and his mind was finally clear.

At this moment, he had no time to think about how to get back at Feng Jinsong or whether the incident would affect Qin Yuhan. The priority was to perform well in the exam.

He had worked hard for this college entrance exam, and failing it would be a nightmare.

Li Dong didn't rush into the questions. He flipped through the test paper and was relieved to see that the Chinese essay topic was just as he remembered.

The history section had no changes, which made things easier for Li Dong.

He was worried that the topics he remembered might have changed, which would have been troublesome.

As he worked through the questions, few of them were difficult for Li Dong. Chinese exams were mostly rote memorization, and with Li Dong's good memory, they were easier for him.

He remembered the essay topic and had prepared a draft in advance. Writing the 800-word essay was smooth.

After finishing the essay and checking it twice, Li Dong glanced at the time. It had only been two hours, and he had spent just over an hour on the paper.

With time to spare, Li Dong thought about Qin Yuhan.

Previously, he wouldn't have worried about her grades, but now he was concerned that the missing admission ticket might have affected her.

If Qin Yuhan did poorly, she would surely be upset.

Thinking of the instigator, Feng Jinsong, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Dong's eyes.

He hadn't expected that Feng Jinsong, though immature, had such a dark heart and could wait until now to exact revenge.

Moreover, the college entrance exam was a major event in one's life. Feng Jinsong had some nerve!

Li Dong swore he would not let that bastard get away with it!

At 11:30 AM, the Chinese exam ended.

Li Dong waited for Qin Yuhan at the school gate. Seeing her face looking relatively normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did it go?"

Qin Yuhan exhaled deeply and then smiled, "It went well. I was so nervous when I first entered the exam hall, but then I realized I could do almost everything, and I wasn't nervous anymore."

She then worriedly asked Li Dong, "How about you? Did running so far affect your exam?"

"I'm fine. I think it went well. Don't worry about me. By the way, wait for me at home this afternoon. I'll keep you company."

Li Dong was concerned that Feng Jinsong might cause more trouble, so he wasn't fully at ease with Qin Yuhan.

Qin Yuhan, clearly worried that the morning's incident might happen again, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Her face then showed a trace of hesitation and resentment as she bit her lip and said quietly, "Was it really Feng Jinsong who did this?"

She wasn't foolish. Li Dong went to find Feng Jinsong and then returned with the admission ticket. It was clear who was responsible.

But she still couldn't believe Feng Jinsong would do something like this. After all, Feng Jinsong had a good reputation at No. 1 High School and had acted very gracefully even after she rejected him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so careless and let Feng Jinsong succeed so easily.

"That bastard is asking for it! Don't worry about it. I'll make him pay sooner or later!" Li Dong's face darkened as he still held onto his anger.

"Don't!"

Seeing Li Dong's grim expression, Qin Yuhan quickly advised, "Since we found it in the end, hurting someone is illegal. It's not worth it for him."

Li Dong rolled his eyes, seeing Qin Yuhan's urgent expression, and said helplessly, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who only solves problems with fists?"

Qin Yuhan didn't speak, but from the corner of her mouth, it was clear she somewhat agreed.

Li Dong pouted. Though he did have such thoughts, it wasn't the right time.

If Feng Jinsong got beaten up now, he would surely guess it was Li Dong's doing. Li Dong wouldn't let that distract him from his college entrance exams.

To Feng Jinsong, Li Dong was just a poor student, but to Li Dong, Feng Jinsong was insignificant. He had plenty of ways and opportunities to take revenge, and he wouldn't let Feng Jinsong affect his own future.

Li Dong accompanied Qin Yuhan for the remaining exams.

Feng Jinsong didn't show up in the following days. It was unclear if he was avoiding Li Dong or if he hadn't been seen.

But Li Dong had no time to care about him. The two-day exam had left him exhausted.

Though Li Dong had prepared well in advance and had practiced many of the questions, there were still many he hadn't remembered.

Li Dong felt he did well in math and science, but when it came to English, he was at a loss.

Li Dong couldn't remember the English questions from more than a decade ago, and the dense letters made him dizzy.

Barely finishing the English exam, Li Dong lost all motivation for leisure.

After dropping Qin Yuhan home, Li Dong spent the day resting at home.
