Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 8 College Entrance Examination Scores

"What...what happened to me?"

Inside the People's Hospital in Yi'an District.

Luo Feng slowly woke up in his hospital bed and murmured something.

Gong Xinlan, who had been watching her eldest son closely, rushed forward excitedly upon seeing him awake, her eyes filled with tears, and asked:

"Xiaofeng, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"

"Mom..." Luo Feng blinked, saw Gong Xinlan, tilted his head slightly, and then saw his father Luo Hongguo, his second brother Luo Hua, and his third brother Luo Xia standing beside the hospital bed.

"Am I in a hospital?"

He clutched his head, trying to get up. For some reason, he felt his mind was clearer after waking up from his coma, and he could clearly hear all sorts of sounds outside the ward.

My hearing seems to have improved a lot...

"Big brother, you fainted in the exam room."

"Rorschach said."

"Unconscious...?" Luo Feng frowned.

Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo looked at him with concern, hesitant to speak.

Luo Feng glanced at them, forced a smile, and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, because of this coma, I might have actually benefited from it."

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were taken aback. How could they have turned misfortune into a blessing?

Luo Feng explained, "Dad, Mom, as you know, I've had this headache problem since I was a child. I've fainted twice before, and both times my physical fitness improved significantly."

He paused, then continued:

"It's the same this time. I can feel that my physique has improved a lot. Before, my punching power was a little weak, but now, I should be able to participate in the preliminary martial arts assessment!"

He looked at his parents and brothers, and said with a smile, "If I pass smoothly, I'll soon become a martial artist. Then my third brother and I will join the Ultimate Martial Arts Gym together!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were both delighted, and even Luo Hua showed a happy smile!

In this day and age, martial artists have a very high status. Becoming a martial artist is definitely better than attending any military academy.

This is also why Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan didn't object too much when Luo Xia said he wouldn't go to university.

Not long after, Luo Feng and his family walked out of the hospital.

"Ah Feng! Ah Feng!"

In the distance, a familiar shout suddenly came. It was Wei Wen, Luo Feng's good brother, who had heard that Luo Feng had fainted in the examination room and rushed over as soon as the exam was over!

"Ah Feng, are you alright?"

Wei Wen ran up to him, slightly out of breath, and asked with concern.

Luo Feng shook his head, touched, and said, "It's nothing. You know, this headache is an old problem of mine. I just didn't expect it to flare up during this college entrance examination."

Wei Wen patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Even if you don't do well this time, you can always try again next year! We're still young!"

Luo Feng smiled and suddenly asked, "By the way, Wen, what do you think of the difficulty of the last three calculation problems on this math test?"

The reason Luo Feng asked Wei Wen instead of his third brother Luo Xia was that he knew that with his brother's intelligence, no matter how difficult this year's math exam was, it wouldn't be a problem for him, so asking him would be of no use.

Wei Wen said, "I feel that this year's math problems are very difficult. There are five calculation problems, and it seems that only the third one is slightly easier; the other four are very difficult."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

fine……

I only failed to solve the last three calculation problems. If most people can't solve them or their answers are wrong, then I still have a sliver of hope.

……

After the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) ends, you can start checking your scores by phone, internet, and other means at 6 PM on June 16th. The undergraduate admission cutoff scores will also be released as soon as possible on that day.

That evening, after dinner, Luo Xia's family sat in the living room, except for the eldest brother, Luo Feng, who had gone back to his room.

"Is my brother alright?"

Luo Hua asked with some concern.

Luo Xia said, "Big Brother has a strong mental fortitude. I don't think this little setback can defeat him."

Father Luo Hongguo nodded and said to the two brothers, Luo Xia, "Can we check the results now? We'll check your older brother's first, then Xia's."

Luo Hua nodded and began operating the laptop. He had Luo Feng and Luo Xia's exam admission ticket numbers, which he entered directly into the query website.

Soon, Luo Feng's scores and the undergraduate admission line appeared on the screen.

"Dad, Mom..."

Luo Hua looked at the score on the screen with a hesitant and uncertain expression. After a pause, he turned the screen towards his two elders.

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan leaned forward slightly and looked at the screen, where they saw Luo Feng's score.

Liberal Arts: 216

Science: 223

Mathematics: 118

Total score: 557

The score of 557 looks quite high, but the undergraduate admission score this time was 561, and Luo Feng's score was exactly 4 points short.

"this……"

Gong Xinlan couldn't help but glance at her husband.

Luo Hongguo didn't know what to say.

They were only 4 points behind!

He paused, then said to Luo Hua, "Check your third brother's grades."

Luo Hua nodded and started operating the machine. The next second, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Luo Xia sitting next to him in astonishment.

"How is it?"

"I can't help but ask," Gong Xinlan, the mother, asked anxiously.

Luo Hua swallowed hard, then turned the screen towards his parents and said, "Third brother, third brother got 745 points!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan looked up at the screen—

Liberal Arts: 245

Science: 250

Mathematics: 250

Total score: 745

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were both happy and excited, but after laughing for a while, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken for their eldest son's ordeal.

Gong Xinlan couldn't help but say, "Sigh, if Xiaofeng didn't have a headache, he should have been able to pass the undergraduate entrance exam..."

Da da da……

Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Luo Feng came down with a smile, saying to Luo Xia, "Xia, amazing! 745 points! That should be the top scorer's score!"

Rorschach laughed, "I thought I could get a perfect score of 750!"

"745 points is already very high! It's extremely difficult for you to get a perfect score in humanities! I bet you lost five points on the essay!"

Luo Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes and said that he didn't seem too sad about his own grades. On the contrary, he was very excited and happy about his brother's score!

Seeing that his eldest son seemed to be alright, Luo Hongguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Luo Xia:

"Xia, with such high scores, isn't it a shame you're not going to university?"

Luo Xia laughed and said, "What's there to regret? The period from 16 to 30 years old is the stage when a martial artist's strength advances the fastest. It would be a real pity if I went to university at this time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hongguo said nothing more, but chuckled and said, "If your grandparents knew that our Luo family could actually produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination, they would be overjoyed!"

……

At five o'clock the next morning, Luo Xia and Luo Feng got up early and headed towards the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Because of the dizziness incident, Luo Feng is going to the martial arts school to test his physical fitness.

Luo Xia also felt that he should update his grades, otherwise he might be asked to do research if he suddenly jumped to the advanced warrior level.
