Chapter 168: The Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination

...Chu Tian really didn't get up until 11 o'clock at noon this time. He didn't even notice when Xiao Nianrou left. Looking at the bloodstains scattered like plum blossoms on the blue bed sheet, a trace of guilt flashed through Chu Tian's heart, and he let out a soft sigh.

After finishing his martial arts practice, washing up, and getting dressed neatly, Chu Tian slowly went downstairs. Hai Zi, Guang Zi, Deng Chao, and the others were already gone from the hall on the first floor. They were probably busy arranging future matters. The surrender of more than 200 people from the Sky Wolf Sect was no small matter. Every aspect needed to be taken care of thoroughly to avoid any other complications. Moreover, this was also a good example to set, playing an inductive role for the Tianxiong Gang and the Badao Association, making them surrender to the Shuai Army without any reservations.

On the sofa in the hall, Uncle Eight and the Xiao sisters were watching TV and chatting and laughing. Chu Tian was grateful that he had rescued the Xiao sisters last night. Otherwise, Uncle Eight would have been extremely haggard by now. It seemed that the happiness of family life was indeed Uncle Eight's greatest joy.

Uncle Eight was very happy today. When he saw Chu Tian coming downstairs, his smile became even brighter. The faces of Xiao Sirou and Xiao Nianrou beside him also smiled like peach blossoms in spring, so brightly that it made Chu Tian's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he had just had a spring dream last night? Why did Xiao Nianrou's face show no change, and she could still smile brightly at him? Gathering his courage, Chu Tian asked, "Father, what makes you so happy?"

Xiao Sirou glanced at Chu Tian and blurted out inexplicably, "Father is going to betroth my sister to you, so we are so happy."

Xiao Nianrou's face instantly turned red. Feeling guilty, she chased after Xiao Sirou, shouting, "Sister is so mean, bullying me and Brother Gan."

Chu Tian's heart also skipped a beat. He smiled but didn't say anything. In an unclear situation, one must never talk too much to avoid revealing one's secrets.

Uncle Eight didn't say much. He just smiled and said softly to Xiao Sirou, "Naughty."

Before Uncle Eight could explain the reason, Uncle Zhong beside him rushed to speak, saying, "Young Master, you don't know. The college entrance examination results have been announced. The two young ladies have already checked their scores, and they did quite well. Judging by the admission scores in previous years, there is no problem for them to enter the best prestigious universities in Shanghai. So, you can imagine why Master and the young ladies are so happy."

Chu Tian let out a long sigh of relief. He glanced at Xiao Sirou out of the corner of his eye. This little girl almost scared him to death. So he glared at her, but Xiao Sirou provocatively stuck out her chest.

Uncle Eight was very excited and said, "Yes, I never expected my two daughters to be so outstanding. They got scores that really surprised me. It must be the accumulation of good deeds by our ancestors in the Xiao family. I'll have to give thanks to the gods another day."

Chu Tian nodded gently and once again felt the importance of the college entrance examination in this country. In fact, with Uncle Eight's strength and wealth, not to mention first-class universities in China, even first-class universities abroad, Xiao Sirou and Xiao Nianrou could attend. But he didn't expect that Uncle Eight and the Xiao sisters would be so delighted because of their outstanding college entrance examination scores. No wonder, when the grades of those brats in Class 13 of Tiandu Middle School improved, the parents of Class 13 almost worshiped him like a god. At first, he couldn't understand it. Now, seeing that the steady Uncle Eight was like this, other parents were even more unable to avoid being conventional.

I wonder how the thirty-six students in Class 13 did in the exam? Chu Tian suddenly became interested. After all, that was the first serious thing he had done.

"Now, here is a brief news about the college entrance examination. The scores of tens of millions of college entrance examination candidates were announced yesterday. According to a spokesperson from the Ministry of Education, the overall level of candidates this year is higher than in previous years, and the overall scores have increased by about twenty points. Among them, a candidate from Yibin City even got a score that shocked the whole country. He got full marks in every subject. What's even more amazing is that this candidate answered the composition question with oracle bone inscriptions. After several days of careful consideration by five experts in ancient character research on more than 800 oracle bone inscriptions, they unanimously agreed that the candidate's attainments in oracle bone inscriptions have reached the top master level in the country. After translation, three experts from the Ministry of Education graded the whole composition. The whole text flowed smoothly, was completed in one go, and the idea was far-reaching. It was truly a rare excellent composition in a hundred years, and they all gave it full marks. For specific news, please stay tuned later." A beautiful female host on MMTV3 of this country was explaining with great joy, as if that candidate was herself or a relative.

Uncle Eight nodded while watching the news. He never expected that there were so many talented people in China. It seemed that now was really the era of young people. So he sighed, "It seems that I'm really old, Uncle Eight. I never expected that there are so many elites in China. A young college entrance examination candidate actually knows oracle bone inscriptions and can even write a smooth article with oracle bone inscriptions. It's really the waves behind drive on those before."

Xiao Sirou and Xiao Nianrou had taken the college entrance examination, so they naturally knew the difficulty of this year's exam questions. They were also very shocked when they heard the news and said in unison, "That guy really stole the show this time. In a few days, he will be famous all over China."

Chu Tian smiled slightly and said with a somewhat modest look in his eyes, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? It's just the college entrance examination."

Xiao Sirou looked at Chu Tian, shook her head, and said with a faint smile, "Brother Gan, you don't know. The college entrance examination is similar to the imperial examinations in the past. Getting full marks in every subject definitely makes him the top scorer in the college entrance examination. In the past, it would be the Number One Scholar on the imperial examination list. Don't you think it's glorious? As the ancient poem says, 'Ten years of hard study go unnoticed, but one success makes one famous all over the world.'"

Xiao Nianrou smiled gently, with an indescribable look of love in her eyes, and said softly, "It's a pity that Brother Gan didn't take the college entrance examination. Otherwise, with Brother Gan's intelligence, he could also get the top score and become the top scorer."

Xiao Sirou looked at her sister with a complicated look in her eyes and let out a long sigh in her heart. This little girl had really fallen in love with Chu Tian. Last night, when Xiao Sirou saw her sister sneaking out of her room, she went in to check carefully and found that one-third of her perfume had been used. Xiao Sirou had always known her sister well and knew that Xiao Nianrou liked lemon. Why would she use her orchid-scented perfume? So she was suspicious and paid special attention to Xiao Nianrou. Later, she saw Xiao Nianrou quietly enter Chu Tian's room. After thinking for a while, she realized that her sister had used her perfume to pretend to be herself and seduce Chu Tian. When she rushed over, she found that it was already too late. At that time, she wanted to rush in and question them, but both of them were the people she loved deeply. Moreover, Chu Tian was not at fault. After hearing her sister's heartbroken confession, after thinking about it, Xiao Sirou chose to leave silently and shed tears silently.

After a sleepless night, Xiao Sirou seemed to have figured something out. She had realized that such an outstanding boy as Chu Tian didn't belong to her alone. In Chu Tian's future, there would surely be many girls who would fall in love with him like moths to a flame. If she cared too much, she was afraid that she would never be able to hold onto Chu Tian again. He would slip away like water through her fingers, not even leaving a corner of his clothes. Instead of regretting it in the future, it was better as her sister said, not to ask for promises or results, but just to cherish the present.

Yes, not caring about everlasting love, but only about having once. If Chu Tian was a burning flame, then let herself also be a silly moth. Xiao Sirou thought faintly, and the last trace of sadness gradually faded from her eyes.

Naturally, Chu Tian didn't know so many things had gone through Xiao Sirou's mind. He took the tea brewed by Uncle Zhong, blew away the tea leaves, and took a sip. His mouth was filled with a fragrant aroma. He secretly praised it. Sure enough, it was the Qingxiang Guanyin tea that cost 1,800 yuan per tael, a top-quality tea.

When Uncle Eight heard Xiao Nianrou's words, he seemed to agree with them to some extent and became interested. He said, "Chu Tian, how about I sign you up for the college entrance examination next year? Maybe you will also create a miracle and get a shocking good score."

Xiao Sirou and Xiao Nianrou clapped their hands together and said in unison, "Great, that would be wonderful. Then you can enter our university and become our little junior brother. Come on, be good and call me little senior sister." The Xiao sisters became excited.

When Chu Tian saw Uncle Eight looking at him, he rubbed his nose and said a bit sheepishly, "Father, actually, I also took the college entrance examination this year."

When Uncle Eight and the Xiao sisters heard that Chu Tian had also taken the college entrance examination this year, they immediately became interested. Uncle Eight quickly said, "Chu Tian, you also took the exam? Quickly check your score and see which line you can reach. I guess it's no problem for you to pass the undergraduate line."

Xiao Nianrou quickly ran to the side and brought the phone over, shouting, "Brother Gan, what's your exam number?"

Chu Tian shook his head gently and smiled, saying, "There's no need to check."

Uncle Eight looked at Chu Tian in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you want to check? Did you do badly in the exam?"

Chu Tian took another sip of tea and said modestly, "I just found out." Then he nodded towards the TV with a slightly embarrassed look.

The Xiao sisters hadn't reacted yet. Uncle Eight looked at the TV and then thought of the college entrance examination news just now. He stood up in surprise and said, "Chu Tian, is that genius candidate who got full marks in every subject you? The one who wrote the composition with oracle bone inscriptions is you? Oh my!" Uncle Eight slapped his head and said excitedly, "I should have guessed it was you long ago. I should have guessed it was you long ago. Where else in the world can we find such a once-in-a-century genius like you?"

Uncle Zhong quickly went over to support Uncle Eight, but he was also extremely happy. A dragon among men like the Young Master was something that should only exist in the sky. How often could one encounter such a person in the world?

"What? You're the top scorer with full marks?" The Xiao sisters were a bit dazed. Only then did they react stupidly. Chu Tian, this young and promising Young Master, the underground emperor of the Shanghai underworld, was actually the top scorer in the college entrance examination, with full marks in every subject, and even the composition was written in oracle bone inscriptions. All the不可思议 in the world seemed to be concentrated on Chu Tian. Why was God so unfair to create such a perfect person? No wonder they loved him so madly.

Chu Tian nodded again, feeling a bit embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and tried his best to show a modest smile. Then he waved to Xiao Nianrou and said, "Nianrou, give me the phone. I want to ask the principal of Tiandu Middle School how my thirty-six students did."

"What? You have students? And there are thirty-six of them?" The Xiao father and daughters shouted in unison, their faces showing shock again.

Chu Tian stuck out his tongue and briefly told Uncle Eight and the Xiao sisters about his experiences in Tiandu Middle School. They were so astonished that they couldn't stop exclaiming. The Xiao sisters secretly made up their minds again that they would definitely marry no one but Chu Tian in this life. No matter how many women Chu Tian had, they would squeeze in and fight for a place. How could they let such a good boy go easily?

It seemed very difficult to get through to Liu Zhonghua's phone. It was only when Chu Tian called for the third time that someone answered. As soon as Liu Zhonghua heard Chu Tian's voice, he became excited and almost shouted, "Chu Tian, where are you now? Do you know that you're famous all over China now? Many media reporters are blocking the school gate, ready to interview you. Today, Tiandu Middle School has really stolen the show. The principal was so happy that he didn't sleep all night."

Chu Tian was a bit surprised and said, "So fast? The college entrance examination results have just come out."

Liu Zhonghua didn't hide his happiness at all and said, "Of course. Not only because you got full marks in every subject and became the unprecedented top scorer in the college entrance examination, but also because your composition in oracle bone inscriptions has attracted the attention of the country. Besides, do you know how the thirty-six students in Class 13 that you taught did in the exam?"

Chu Tian shook his head. The main reason he made this call was to ask about their scores. He said, "I don't know yet. I wonder how they did?"

Liu Zhonghua let out a soft sigh, his tone filled with admiration, and said, "Chu Tian, if you're not a genius, then there really are no geniuses in this world. All thirty-six of your students have reached the undergraduate line. Their parents are looking for you all over the world, and the gifts in their hands are more valuable than those they would give to the principal. They even said they want to build a statue of you in the middle school to thank you." Then Liu Zhonghua seemed to remember something and said, "Chu Tian, when will you be free to come back? The principal wants you to give several experience exchange reports, the reporters need to interview you, the parents want to treat you, and even the mayor wants to meet you."

When Chu Tian heard that they had all reached the undergraduate line, he was really proud. Later, when he heard about those trivial matters, he panicked. That would really exhaust him. He quickly said, "Principal Liu, please help me decline those things. Since everyone is looking for me all over the world, I can't go back even more. You know, I'm not very comfortable in those situations." Then he sighed, "Now I realize that being famous isn't a good thing in many cases."

Liu Zhonghua's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, and he said, "I早就猜到你会这么说了,放心吧,我会帮你搞定的.对了,楚天." Liu Zhonghua hesitated for a moment and said, "There's something I wonder if you can help with?"

When Chu Tian heard Liu Zhonghua's hesitation, he knew that if it wasn't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't ask him for help. So he said, "Old Liu, just tell me what it is. I'll try my best to help if I can."

Liu Zhonghua thought for a while and said, "I have a good friend of many years who is a professor. He is passionate about archaeology. Recently, he got a map with all ancient characters on it. He has studied it for a long time but hasn't made any progress. I think since your attainments in oracle bone inscriptions are at the top level, maybe you can study it and figure it out. I mentioned you this morning, and he was very interested. He asked me to introduce you to him. I wonder if you can take a look for him?"

When Chu Tian heard this, he thought it was a small matter. He smiled and said, "Old Liu's matter is my matter. I'll give you the address and phone number. You can ask him to come to Shanghai to find me."

Liu Zhonghua was overjoyed and thanked Chu Tian. After writing down the address and phone number and thanking him again, he hung up the phone.

Chu Tian put down the phone and saw that the Xiao sisters were looking at him. So he took the initiative to repeat the content of the call, to avoid these two little girls pestering him to ask about the situation.

After hearing it, the Xiao sisters didn't feel unhappy because Chu Tian's brilliance overshadowed their own excellence. Instead, a feeling of pride for their man welled up in their hearts. It seemed that Chu Tian's success was their success, and Chu Tian's pride was their pride. So there was a strong sense of pride and love on both of their faces.

After hearing it, Uncle Eight stood up, turned to Uncle Zhong, and said, "For lunch, roast suckling pig."
