Chapter 279 Composition Topic
"You two have the exact same things?"
It was no wonder that Yang Ting was surprised. Whether it was the triangle ruler, the pens, or the erasers, even the pencil cases were of the same brand. This inevitably made people overthink.
Ning Xi smiled sweetly and gently, taking the initiative to explain, "Teacher Yang, my mom helped me prepare these things, so naturally, they're the same."
"Your mom?"
Hearing this, Yang Ting's eyes widened, and she looked at Ye Fan with a peculiar expression.
This kid...
So impressive!
Is winning over the mother-in-law first the new trend in chasing girls nowadays?
This move is way too slick!!!
Ning Xi's eyes were filled with confusion. "Teacher Yang, is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing at all."
Yang Ting awkwardly smiled and secretly gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.
At that moment, Zhan Chong walked over, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, and said, "You two finally arrived. You're about to enter the exam hall, so I'll keep it short."
"You two have a great advantage right now. Don't be nervous, don't overthink things. Just perform at your real level, okay?"
"Understood!"
Ye Fan and Ning Xi exchanged a smile, confidence evident in their expressions.
Zhan Chong had originally planned to say a few more words, but as soon as the broadcast announced "Candidates, please enter the exam hall," he immediately shut his mouth.
Looking down at the hands clasped together, he cleared his throat, "Uh... there are a lot of people around. You two should be mindful of your behavior. After the exam, you can do whatever you want, but for now, you should restrain yourselves a bit."
Upon hearing this, Ning Xi's face flushed slightly, and she wanted to pull her hand back.
But would Ye Fan let go?
Of course not!
There were so many people around. What if someone with bad intentions took advantage of the noise and tried to harass Ning Xi?
After all, Ning Xi was breathtakingly beautiful.
Such a possibility was not out of the question!
So, he had to protect Ning Xi into the exam hall. Only when this girl was by his side could he feel at ease.
"Principal, what did you just say?"
Zhan Chong: "…"
Alright.
He shouldn't have said anything at all!
"Nothing. You two just do your best, don't—"
Before Zhan Chong could finish his sentence, he saw Ye Fan holding Ning Xi's hand and following the Science Class Two group into the exam hall. A trace of awkwardness flashed across his face.
This scene was caught by Yang Ting, who secretly laughed in her heart while maintaining an indifferent expression.
After all, Zhan Chong was her direct superior!
Inside Exam Hall No. 8, the area was divided into 35 sections.
Ye Fan's seat was at No. 6, and Ning Xi's was at No. 22.
Ye Fan escorted Ning Xi to the entrance of Section 22 before reluctantly letting go of her hand. His deep gaze was filled with encouragement as he spoke gently, "Xiao Xi, do your best. Just stay calm, don't be nervous, and believe in yourself. You're the best!"
"Mm!"
Ning Xi beamed brightly, and in that fleeting moment, her beauty stunned quite a few male students. In just a single breath, no fewer than dozens of gazes focused on her, including those of some female students.
Ye Fan couldn't help but marvel at Ning Xi's immense charm.
She truly had universal appeal!
"You have to do your best too. In my heart, you're the best as well."
Ning Xi spoke with a blush, then turned and entered the exam hall.
Her departing figure carried a mix of nervousness, happiness, shyness, and pure beauty.
Ye Fan watched her back and murmured, "Let's do our best together!"
With the ringing of a bell, the annual college entrance examination officially began.
Ye Fan's eyes quickly scanned the test paper before filling in his candidate number and name on the answer sheet. Once he finished, he officially started answering.
As soon as his thoughts began to process, they functioned like a supercomputer, with various knowledge points flooding his mind.
In just one breath, Ye Fan could filter out the most accurate answer.
His writing speed wasn't particularly fast, but his answering efficiency was shockingly high.
Because unlike other candidates who needed to think things through, with his Level 5 Intelligence and Level 4 Knowledge, the college entrance exam was not difficult for him at all.
This year's Chinese exam was extremely difficult—far harder than any previous college entrance exam. Even compared to the past three rounds of national joint exams, the difficulty of the college entrance exam was significantly greater.
However, even so—
Ye Fan could still handle it with ease. In less than half an hour, he had already begun writing his essay.
This year's college entrance essay prompt was very simple, yet not simple at all.
[National Confidence]
Seeing this topic, Ye Fan's writing paused for a moment. After a brief moment of thought, an outline formed in his mind.
His mind surged with countless words, and soon, an essay took shape.
The pen that had paused now moved once again.
[Where does national confidence come from?]
[The country I belong to, throughout its thousands of years of history, has endured countless wars, countless baptisms of blood, countless migrations, yet nothing has ever stopped it from achieving unity.]
[Five thousand years ago, we faced floods like the Eta people. Four thousand years ago, we forged bronze like the Gubi people. Three thousand years ago, we pondered philosophy like the Xiya people. Two thousand years ago, we fought bravely like the Luoyong people. One thousand years ago, we prospered like the Oute people. And today, we are competing with the Westerners.]
[…]
[…]
[For five thousand years, we have always had a seat at the world's table, watching one opponent after another rise and fall. So where does the confidence of the Xia people come from?]
[Simply because I am a Xia citizen!]
[In this life, I have no regrets about being born in Xia. In the next life, I will still be of the Yanhuang people!]
When Ye Fan wrote down the last exclamation mark, his heart surged with pride. He wasn't just playing with words—this was what he truly felt.
As a citizen of Xia, he was proud and honored!
Compared to Ye Fan's passionate and stirring essay, Ning Xi's writing had a more subtle, gentle impact. Yet both essays had one thing in common—
They were astonishing!!!
This was something Ye Fan had always required of Ning Xi, and she had strictly adhered to his guidance, bringing out her best abilities, striving to make her essay as perfect as possible—at least, in her understanding of perfection.
She had given it her all, so no matter the result, she could accept it.
——
"Ding-ling—"
"Pens down, stay seated, and remain silent!"
As the test papers and answer sheets were collected and sealed, the morning Chinese exam officially ended.
Ye Fan left the exam hall and immediately went to the entrance to wait for Ning Xi. This was something they had agreed upon long ago—whoever finished first would wait at the entrance.
As the wave of students exited, Ye Fan's gaze quickly swept through the crowd, searching for Ning Xi. But after looking for nearly ten minutes, he still couldn't spot her.
Until the crowd thinned out, and when Ye Fan turned to glance inside the exam hall, he saw a girl standing under a willow tree dozens of meters away.
When Ye Fan looked at the girl, the girl was also looking at him.
Her eyes sparkled with warmth, melting everything in sight.
A gentle breeze brushed past, causing the willow branches to sway lightly.
This summer, the sky stretched endlessly blue; your presence, a tender bloom of beauty.
