Time quickly passed to the end of June. The temperature in the country started to rise, and the college entrance examination results of some provinces were gradually released one after another.
The Yuncheng college entrance examination results were available for checking at 4 p.m. on June 24th. Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan hurried back to accompany Song Fengwan the night before.
Old Madam Yan naturally couldnât bear to part with her. Song Fengwan could check her results anywhere. But she had to go back to school to get her diploma, and she still had to deal with her graduation. Most importantly, once her results came out, she would have to consider which universities to apply for.
The day before the release of the results was the weekend. Huai Sheng had returned to the mountain on Friday, and Fu Chen went to pick him up. At the same time, he paid his respects to Buddha and drew a lot. Fu Sinian followed him.
âI thought you didnât believe this?â Fu Chen chuckled. âWhy are you following me?â
Fu Sinian didnât say anything.
He had always had good self-control. But after having that kind of dream, he wanted to go to a Buddhist temple to cleanse his mind and calm himself down.
The two of them drew lots, and Master Pudu helped the two explain them.
Fu Chen drew a poor lot today, making him quite depressed. Master Pudu smiled at Fu Sinian. âMr. Fu, youâre destined to have a peach blossom[1] this year.â
Fu Sinianâs eyelids twitched.
âWhat should come will come. Mr. Fu, you donât have to hide from it. Itâs just that whether you can cultivate good karma with this peach blossom in the future will depend on your own fortune.
âWhether itâs a calamity or fate, the heavens decide!â
Fu Sinian held the lot and remained silent.

On the day the results were released, Song Fengwan was sitting in the living room, watching TV. She was so jittery that she kept changing the channels. She was feeling uneasy and didnât have the mood to send Fu Chen a message.
She kept feeling very anxious no matter what she looked at and didnât even eat much of her lunch.
Qiao Aiyun wanted to go to the store to take a look and specially brought Song Fengwan along. She originally wanted to take her out shopping to relax while at it. But Song Fengwanâs thoughts were restless, and she even bumped into someone while walking.
After the two of them arrived home at around three oâclock, Song Fengwan started waiting by the phone with her admission ticket. She rubbed it repeatedly, and her heart was already in her throat.
At half past three, the Yuncheng Bureau of Education and the Examination Institute held a press conference to talk about the college entrance examination this year and announce the cutoff scores.
At four oâclock sharp, Song Fengwan picked up her phone and dialed the number according to the admission ticketâ¦
After making a few calls, the call finally connected. The cold robotic female voice kept reminding her to proceed with the next step.
â⦠Please enter your admission ticket number and end it with the number symbol.â
Song Fengwanâs palms were covered in cold sweat, and her fingertips were freezing. She felt as if she was hanging on death row and was having difficulty breathing.
She took a deep breath and entered her admission ticker number while afraid of pressing the wrong number.
Standing at the side, Qiao Aiyun was also nervous.
âYour total score is 621. Chinese: 137 points, Mathematics: 144⦠Your rank in this province is 52ndâ¦â For a moment, Song Fengwanâs mind went blank.
After a few seconds, all her nerves totally relaxed, and her body went limp. Her fingers loosened, and she hung up.
âHow is it?â Qiao Aiyun was anxious to death at the side.
Song Fengwan turned her head to look at her and suddenly jumped up to hug her. â621.â
At the Bureau of Educationâs press conference just now, they had announced the cutoff scores, so Qiao Aiyun already knew them. After hearing Song Fengwanâs score, she felt completely relieved. According to this score, it wouldnât be a problem for her to go to any art school.
Song Fengwan was worried that she had misheard and called again. The line was busy until half past four. After confirming that her results were correct, she was so excited that she wanted to cry.
Next, Qiao Aiyun called their relatives and friends to inform them of the good news. Song Fengwan sent Fu Chen a message and told him her total score.
Fu Chen hadnât been able to stay at home and was âtorturingâ his subordinates in his company.
Everyone was trembling in fear as though they were facing a great enemy and afraid of being implicated.
He had come to the company to cause trouble without any warning.
Fu Chen was extremely smart. He could basically see any mistakes or omissions in the data after looking at it once. He could even pick out a single typo from everyoneâs data reports and then stare straight at them.
This kind of death stare was simply chilling.
Shi Fang stood at the back and tried his best to reduce his presence.
Miss Songâs college entrance exam results are out today, so Third Master went to the temple to draw a lot. He must be in a bad mood. Iâve already been tormented for two days. Even the dog at home wagging his tail at him makes him feel uncomfortable.
Just bear with it.
â⦠Didnât you calculate this number wrong? You missed one statistic. How could you make such a low-level mistake?!â Fu Chen threw the report on the table.
Fu Chenâs arrival was sudden, and everyone had rushed their reports at the last minute. There were definitely many areas that were not rigorous.?Is he a humanoid computer? He looked at the data so quickly.
Around four-thirty, after everyone in the company had been tortured to death, Fu Chenâs phone vibrated twice.
His phone had been on the table the whole time. When Song Fengwanâs message arrived, a certain someone picked up his phone nervously and saw the messageâ¦
And he suddenly laughed.
Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the first time they saw Fu Chen laughing like this.
How f*cking scary.
Third Master, please stop laughing.
A certain someone was happy. âThatâs all for today. Letâs go. Donât work overtime tonight and get off work early.â
Everyone looked at each other.?The carrot after the stick?
Third Masterâs recent mood is like a summer storm, coming and going quickly, completely incomprehensible.

At this moment, the school couldnât obtain the results yet. The homeroom teacher sent a message in the class chat group, asking everyone to private chat with him and report their results to him.
The class chat group had been very lively for the past few days. In the morning, there was even a group of people reposting koi fish. At this moment, other than the students who did well in the exams sending a few emojis, no one spoke.
When the college entrance examination results came out, some were happy while others were sad.
The homeroom teacher specially called Song Fengwan. When he heard her results, he was very surprised. Her results were the best in the class so far.
Yuncheng First High School was not the best school in the province. It was a large education province, and there were as many high schools as there were trees in a forest. Song Fengwanâs results could allow her to go directly to Peking University, so it was a pity that she was going to an art school.
Every year, the school would advertise to enroll new students, and it was good publicity if graduates got into the key universities. The teachers would naturally receive bonuses.
âAre you really not going to apply to Peking University with your results? You can try.â The homeroom teacher smiled.
âIâll consider it.â Although Song Fengwan said this, she already had plans in her heart.
When Yan Wangchuan returned, he took the two of them out for dinner and specially ordered a cake for Song Fengwan. On the way to the restaurant, Qiao Aiyun was still on the phone with Qiao Wangbei. She hadnât been this happy in a long time.
She wished she could share this good news with everyone.
Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun were about to get married. Many people in Nanjiang had their eyes on Song Fengwanâs college entrance examination results. When they found out that she got such a high score, some admired her, and naturally, some were jealous.
On the other hand, when the two elders of the Fu family received Qiao Aiyunâs call, they were overjoyed. It was as though their own child had gotten a high score.
At night, Fu Chen went back for dinner, and Old Madam Fu sighed while saying emotionally, âYuxiu isnât blessed. Wanwan is so outstanding, yet he didnât know to cherish her. Heâll regret it in the future.
âI wonder what heâs thinking now. If he still canât forget that girl, then heâs really possessed.
âSay, her mother is about to marry in Nanjiang. Will she apply to a university in Nanjiang? Itâs so far away. Itâll be difficult to see her then.
âI still really like this child. Itâs a pity that our Fu family isnât fated with her.â
Fu Chen lowered his head and ate. He was in a good mood and even accompanied Old Master Fu to drink.
Old Master Fu frowned.?This kid usually abstains from alcohol and eats vegetarian food. Why is he so happy today?

Two days after the results came out, Song Fengwan returned to school. There was a banner raised outside the school. A city science top scorer had appeared in Yuncheng First High School.
As soon as she entered the school, there was good news posted everywhere. Song Fengwan was also among them. She ranked in the top ten among the cityâs liberal art students, which was considered an extraordinary performance.
The school held a commendation ceremony, and the principal personally awarded the diplomas and the sponsorship bonuses of companies to the outstanding graduates.
Song Fengwan received 5,000 yuan, sponsored by Fu Zhongliâs company.
At night, the school held an appreciation banquet to thank the teachers. The entire grade was in the same hotel. When the results came out, there were naturally good and bad ones. But everyone was having a good time at the banquet.
Many male students imitated adults and toasted the teachers. Song Fengwanâs overall results were good, so the homeroom teacher was very happy. Soon, his face flushed red from drinking.
He even kept saying, â⦠I didnât want to be so strict with you. I did it all for your own good.
âWhen you go to university in the future, you have to study hard too. I wish you a bright futureâ¦â
Because there were more than a thousand people in the entire grade, the scene was lively and chaotic. After the schoolâs dean came to give a speech, he quickly left.
Everyone seemed to be letting themselves go. After drinking to their heartâs content, some male students had already hugged each other and started singing. Many people came to toast Song Fengwan, but most of them were people she didnât know.
After tonight, they would have to go their separate ways. If they didnât play well, they probably wouldnât see each other again for the rest of their lives. It would likely be difficult for them to gather together again.
After the banquet ended, the class monitors organized everyone to go and sing. It was already past 9 p.m., so Song Fengwan wanted to go home, but it was rare for the entire class to gather together. Even though they didnât usually interact much, she was too embarrassed to leave first, so she followed them to the KTV.
Yan Wangchuan had long been waiting outside the hotel. Song Fengwan ran over and said, âUncle Yan, sorry for making you wait for nothing. Iâll be back later.â
âCall me when you go home.â Yan Wangchuan looked around and saw a group of boys not far away.
Many people had special thoughts about Song Fengwan. Caught off guard by the warning, they were trembling in fear.?Isnât he Song Fengwanâs stepfather? Why does he care so much?
Song Fengwan stayed at the KTV until half past ten when she received Fu Chenâs call. She got up and walked out.
âHello, Third Brother.â
âItâs not over yet?â
âTheyâre probably going to stay up all night. Iâll go home later. I donât know how to sing, and they even brought a lot of alcohol to the private room. Many of them are drunkâ¦â
âDo you miss me?â Fu Chenâs tone had a hint of a smile.
âYeah.â Song Fengwan nodded. She had only drunk a little white wine when toasting the teachers. Her face was flushed red, and the heat had yet to dissipate.
âWant to see me?â
âYesâ¦â
The two of them chatted for a while more before Song Fengwan hung up and entered the private room. In just half an hour, she received a message from Fu Chen.
[Come out. Iâm at the door of your private room.]
Song Fengwanâs heart skipped a beat. She couldnât care less about anything else and rushed out. Fu Chen was leaning against the wall not far away. When he saw her coming out, he tilted his head and sized her up. He seemed to have drunk a little too, and his eyes were a little blurry.
She slowly walked toward him. From a distance, she could smell the alcohol on him. âDid you drink?â
âI drank some at Second Brotherâs house.â Fu Chen had arrived in the morning. He knew that she was busy, so he didnât disturb her.
âYou didnât even tell me you came.â Song Fengwan bit her lip. She knew that her classmates were in the private room not far away and felt inexplicably nervous.
The next secondâ¦
Fu Chen suddenly reached out to hold her shoulder and pressed her against the wall with a little force.
The scorching kiss was like fire.
A waiter walked past not far away. Song Fengwan was shocked and reached out to push his shoulder.
âIâm very happyâ¦â Fu Chen tilted his head and leaned close to her ear. His breath was scorching, and as it blew against her, half of her body went limp.
âWhat are you happy about?â Not only was her body weak, but even her voice was utterly soft.
âWhen you get to the capital, Iâll be able to see you every day.â Fu Chen hugged her tightly.
âBy the way, Big Brother Duan sent me a big red packet a few days ago, and I subconsciously opened it. I tried returning it to him, but he didnât want it.â Song Fengwan had received a lot of red packets that day. Duan Linbai had given her a red packet, so she didnât pay attention to it and accepted it.
âThen keep it. He doesnât lack money.â
âWhy didnât you send me a red packet?â Song Fengwan looked up at him.
Fu Chen chuckled softly. Their skin pressed against each other gently. His skin was hot, and his rubbing against her made her body go weak.
âAll of me is yoursâ¦
âWhat else do you want?â
[1] Find love.
