You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Su Qinghe was dumbfounded. What did zero points mean?

Her first reaction was to reach out and gently tap the number on the screen, thinking that the webpage was lagging and that tapping it twice to refresh would restore normal functionality.

But the result was completely different from what she had imagined; the page still showed 0.

She poked it again, her hand almost leaving a blur, but the score didn't turn into over 700.

Su Qinghe's face gradually scrunched up, and she squeezed the pillow in her arms until it was deformed.

"Ah Che..." She looked up at Jiang Che, her eyes filled with confusion and grievance, "Did I accidentally stick the barcode on my clothes and bring it out with me...?"

Jiang Che had never encountered this situation before, and for a moment he was also a little confused about what was going on.

Given Su Qinghe's usual level, let alone getting a zero, even if you blindfolded her and threw her into the exam room, she wouldn't fail all subjects by just guessing.

And Su Qinghe's own claim that she didn't affix a barcode or filled in the wrong exam number is even more impossible.

Jiang Che would bet that no one in the world is more meticulous than Su Qinghe; she simply couldn't possibly make a mistake on such a basic issue.

So, unless her answer sheet was stolen by aliens, then...

Otherwise, there is only one explanation.

"The scores of the top 50 students in the province will be hidden."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe was stunned.

The little figure in her head, who was already looking pitiful and about to squat in a corner and cry, raised its head again upon hearing Jiang Che's words, blinking blankly.

"Were your scores hidden?"

Jiang Che nodded.

He saw this by chance while scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), and he never expected to actually encounter this situation today.

Seeing that Su Qinghe was still a little worried, Jiang Che simply called the homeroom teacher, Lao Li, and asked him if Su Qinghe's grades of 0 were being blocked.

Old Li said yes.

Su Qinghe was now completely relieved.

She glanced down at her phone again and suddenly felt that those rows of zeros weren't so scary after all.

They were even a bit arrogant.

After all, when others check their scores, a string of numbers pops up on the screen.

She checked her score, and the screen showed a bunch of zeros.

At first glance, it seems like they failed because they messed up the exam, but upon closer inspection, oh, it turns out their score was too high and was hidden.

In conclusion, their scores should be good enough for admission to Kyoto University.

Su Qinghe kept glancing at Jiang Che's 694 points and then at her own zero points, which were blocked from view. The little voice inside her was already laughing out loud with her hands on her hips.

Wow, now she and A-Che can both go to Peking University!

In the same city, at the same school, even if we're not in the same major, we're still in the same college.

From now on, she can go to class with Jiang Che, eat in the cafeteria together, and take walks on campus together.

Just thinking about Su Qinghe makes her feel like the happiest little girl in the world.

I'm going to Beijing University with A-Che.

She used to be too afraid to even think about the "future," always feeling that it was something very, very far away, something she couldn't really hope for.

But things are different now.

The future will soon become an admission letter, a ticket for her and Jiang Che to enter the university together.

She could confidently hold Jiang Che's hand and tell others: This is my boyfriend.

Su Qinghe happily rolled around on the sofa, hugging a cushion.

Jiang Che was on the phone with Bai Qingjiang and Dahai.

Bai Qing was working at the company at the moment, but she knew that today was the day the college entrance examination results were released, so she had been waiting for Jiang Che to call her with the good news.

Jiang Dahai was also restless, as if he had a nail in his butt. After putting his bag down in his office in the morning, he went to his wife's office and paced back and forth.

The moment Bai Qing's phone rang, Jiang Dahai rushed over, standing right next to her, ready to eavesdrop on the call.

Bai Qing gently pushed him away a little, then answered the phone, asking softly, "How's it going, son? Have you checked your scores?"

"I checked."

"How many?"

Jiang Che's penchant for showing off kicked in again, so he deliberately paused for two seconds before slowly saying, "It's only six hundred and ninety-four."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dahai's booming voice suddenly came through the phone: "Young Master Duo?!"

"...694."

Jiang Che never expected his father to be so excited. He quickly frowned and moved the phone a little further away to avoid damaging his ears.

"Good lad!"

Jiang Dahai slapped his thigh with joy and began pacing back and forth in his office again.

As he walked, he laughed heartily and said, "I told you my son wasn't bad! He didn't study hard before because he wasn't putting in the effort, but now that he's put in the effort, he can definitely get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, right?"

Jiang Che suspected that if it weren't for the fact that he was in Lincheng, Jiang Dahai would have carried him around the company three times on the spot to celebrate.

Bai Qing's attitude was more composed than Jiang Dahai's; she smiled slightly and offered some words of blessing and encouragement.

Then he asked, "What about Qinghe? Have you checked on Qinghe?"

"I checked."

Jiang Che glanced at Su Qinghe, who was staring at him expectantly, and then told his parents about her situation: "Her grades have been hidden."

Jiang Dahai's loud voice, which had only been quiet for a short while, boomed again: "Blocked? What does that mean? Too high a score and you can't see it?"

Jiang Che nodded: "Yes, the scores of the top 50 students in the province will be hidden."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dahai laughed heartily once again and went out, ready to announce his son and future daughter-in-law's excellent achievements throughout the company.

Bai Qing watched Jiang Dahai's figure disappear, and sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Che, let Qing He answer the phone. I want to say a few words to her."

"Okay." Jiang Che handed the phone to Su Qinghe. "Qinghe, Mom is looking for you."

"what?"

Su Qinghe had been eavesdropping, but when she heard Bai Qing was about to speak to her, she suddenly didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

She quickly put the cushion aside, took the phone with both hands, and called out sweetly, "Auntie..."

Hearing Su Qinghe's voice again after many days, Bai Qing's tone softened.

"Qinghe, first of all, Auntie wants to congratulate you. You are really great."

"Auntie has always known that you work very hard and that it hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are today."

"I'm so happy to see you did so well on the exam."

Hearing Bai Qing's gentle voice on the other end of the phone, Su Qinghe was slightly stunned, and her fingers tightened slightly as she held the phone.

Back when she lived in the Su family, no matter how well she did on her exams, she never received a sincere compliment.

For the Su family, grades were just something to show off to others; they had nothing to do with her personally.

She was like an item displayed in a shop window, kept clean and beautiful, so that others would think the Su family had face.

But now Bai Qing says she's happy for herself.

I'm not happy for the Jiang family.

I'm not happy for Jiang Che.

I'm happy for Su Qinghe.
