Chapter 734: The Top Scorer

After walking for a while, Ye Leng’an suddenly spoke again, “Ling, after you go back this time, do you still need to keep pretending?”

In simple terms, it meant whether he would continue sitting in the wheelchair.

“No need,” Huangfu Ruiling replied straightforwardly. “Since our matter has already spread in the Hidden World, many people in the mortal world know about it. So, there’s no need to continue.”

All four major families in the mortal world had representatives in the Hidden World, and even if their status was not high, they had undoubtedly heard about the news that was making waves. Therefore, there was no need to keep up the pretense.

Besides, he never intended to disguise himself. It was just a matter of habit that he had been sitting in the wheelchair.

Ye Leng’an lay on his back, unable to hold back a laugh. “It seems like many people will be genuinely shocked this time!”

Huangfu Ruiling smiled without saying a word.

And so, he carried her on his back, strolling through the garden. With no disturbances from outsiders, the two appeared like an ordinary couple – peaceful and sweet, free from unnecessary commotion.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had been eager to find an opportunity to meet Ye Leng’an, but they were thwarted repeatedly. They had no choice but to stay in the banquet hall until the end of the event.

Since today offered no chance to meet her, they decided to post an invitation the next day.

Little did they expect that when they finally mustered the courage to visit Ye Leng’an the next day, she was nowhere to be found. Simultaneously, they received word that Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling had temporarily left the Hidden World with an uncertain return date.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were deeply disappointed, but with no other option, they left the Huangfu family.

On the other side, Ye Leng’an remained oblivious to this development. Unperturbed, she had returned to the mortal world, where she stumbled upon a significant event.

The college entrance exam results were out, and she had secured the top spot this year.

Luckily, her home address was unknown, sparing her from the hassle of reporters.

Inside the villa, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an sat on the sofa.

More precisely, Huangfu Ruiling sat on the sofa while Ye Leng’an rested on his lap, scrolling through her phone. She checked if anyone had sent her messages during her time in the Hidden World.

After a while, Ye Leng’an noticed that the principal had sent her the most messages, inquiring about her return.

“Why is Principal looking for me?” Ye Leng’an was puzzled. “The college entrance exam is over; he’s not asking me to go back to class, is he?”

“Probably because of your results,” Huangfu Ruiling said, running his fingers through her hair. “He should be quite happy now! After all these years, Sheng’an High School has finally produced a college entrance exam top scorer. Previously, it was always overshadowed by Capital No.1 High School.”

Hearing this, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “Principal Zheng and the principal of Capital No.1 High School have had a love-hate relationship for many years!”

This description elicited a subtle smile from Huangfu Ruiling.

“I better call him back!”

With that, she began dialing the number. Almost instantly, the call was answered.

“Ye Leng’an?” The voice on the other end was filled with excitement, a stark contrast to the usual calm demeanor.

“Principal, you seem delighted!” Ye Leng’an teased. “I noticed you’ve called me quite a few times. Is there something wrong?”

“Ye Leng’an, I finally got your call.” Zheng Anyang slowly calmed down upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s playful tone. However, his excitement remained. “Do you know? You’re the top scorer in this year’s college entrance exam, and you scored a perfect 100. In the past decade, you’re the only one to achieve this. Do you realize how much attention you’ve garnered?

Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes. “I didn’t expect that.”

While she wasn’t surprised to be the top scorer, she hadn’t anticipated achieving a perfect score. It wasn’t a lack of confidence but an assumption that some points might be deducted, especially in the essay section.

“We didn’t expect it either.” Zheng Anyang tried to contain his excitement. After a few deep breaths, he continued, “Your essay initially sparked some controversy. After several teachers reviewed it together, they decided to award it a perfect score. It’s the only essay in this year’s college entrance exam to receive full marks.”

“I see,” Ye Leng’an responded calmly. “Principal, do I still need to return to school to get my report card?”

“There’s no need for that,” Zheng Anyang said, a bit puzzled. “Did you already know your results? You don’t seem surprised at all!”

Due to Ye Leng’an’s composure, Zheng Anyang’s initial excitement gradually subsided. He realized he might have been overly enthusiastic. After all, it was the first time Sheng’an High School produced a college entrance exam champion, and a perfect one at that. This achievement was sufficient for him to show off in front of the principal of Capital No.1 High School.

Previously, he sought out Ye Leng’an to share the good news. However, not finding her made him all the more excited when he finally did. Now, in hindsight, he felt a bit embarrassed. He had failed to maintain the calm expected of someone more mature.

After a moment’s thought, Ye Leng’an replied, “I just returned, and I found out not long ago. However, I have confidence in myself, so I’m not too surprised.”

“Hehe, that’s true.” Zheng Anyang had completely calmed down. “By the way, although you don’t need the report card, you still have to come back. You need to pick up your graduation certificate.”

Most graduates had already retrieved their certificates, but due to the inability to reach Ye Leng’an, hers remained at the school. Zheng Anyang had safely stored it, waiting for Ye Leng’an to collect it.

“Alright.” Ye Leng’an agreed. “I’ll find time tomorrow to come over and get my graduation certificate.”

“Hehe, then come straight to my office!” Zheng Anyang replied with a smile. “Your graduation certificate is with me!”
