Cai Meina has experienced her son’s college entrance exam once, and it hasn’t been long since, always thinking she would have some experience.

She always thought her daughter’s grades were good and wouldn’t make her nervous, but as the days counted down, she continued to panic.

No matter how much Gong Tao tried to comfort her, it was useless; she always dreamed of her daughter failing the exams.

This scared Cai Meina terribly. Her daughter had declined the opportunity to be recommended for university admission.

"You say if Ni Zi had agreed to be recommended back then, how great that would be."

"At least I wouldn’t be worried." Cai Meina sighed.

Seeing his wife not sleep well for days, Gong Tao felt heartbroken too, but what could he say,

"Our daughter has said she plans to come back as the top scorer." Gong Tao felt heartache, especially after their daughter entered the third year of high school, she became intensely focused.

"You can’t say you haven’t seen her state." Gong Tao watched Gong Ruini come this far; even when their daughter skipped a few grades, she had never seen her this focused before.

But this time their daughter was serious, so serious that it made Gong Tao anxious.

"I know she has been waiting for this day for a long time; otherwise, I would absolutely not agree." Cai Meina glared at her husband.

"Alright, let’s sleep." Cai Meina checked the time. It was already past twelve, unsure if her daughter was resting.

Worried, she planned to get up and check if her daughter was asleep.

Gong Tao pulled her back, "With Xuran there, that kid won’t let Ni Zi stay up late."

Cai Meina was not assured, though Xuran was a good person, yet their daughter staying up late reading, as parents, they did not intervene.

"Let it be, if we go, it’ll just add more pressure on the child; rest assured, Xuran will comfort Ni Zi."

Looking at her husband’s serious expression, Cai Meina thought for a bit and did not insist on going out.

Cai Meina was worried in every way. Gong Ruini, in fact, was also a bit anxious. Of course, she wasn’t worried if she’d get into Jing University.

Gong Ruini worried whether she’d be the top scorer; it concerned the reputation of the tutoring class. Apart from perseverance, what else could she do?

Zhao Xuran handled his work and yawned, unsurprisingly seeing Gong Ruini still seriously reading.

"You’re still not resting?"

"I always thought you wouldn’t care about these things." Zhao Xuran poured a glass of milk for Gong Ruini.

Gong Ruini helplessly accepted the milk, knowing each time she saw it, it meant it was time to rest.

"I am worried, with tutoring classes more prevalent now, if I don’t work hard, how can I achieve anything?" Gong Ruini didn’t want it either, but no choice, too much pressure.

"You’ve always worked hard, performing normally to be the top in Beijing is no problem." Zhao Xuran was very confident about this.

"That’s a must." If she didn’t even have this confidence, Gong Ruini estimated she might as well solve things by jumping off a building.

"I just don’t know how many competitors are outside." It’s not an information-centric society; truly don’t know much about opponents.

Rolling eyes, Zhao Xuran never thought he’d aim to be the nationwide top scorer, this girl truly determined to be top scorer.

"Your expectations are a bit high; doing this will tire you." Though futile, Zhao Xuran still had to say.

Tired, of course, tired. Parents, siblings all tense, "I’ll put in effort these two days, when it’s two days before the exam, I won’t read books."

Then completely relax, "We’ll soak in hot springs then."

Hot springs? Zhao Xuran was surprised why Gong Ruini would say that, but his wife said to go out for vacation, to relax, could he say no?

Of course, he couldn’t say no and had to prepare everything well.

At the dining table, when Zhao Xuran spoke, Zhao Guangran almost spat out the porridge in his mouth, luckily he held it in, or it’d be a life’s tragedy, Gong Ruini would certainly keep talking about it.

Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Guangran’s twisted face, truly wanting to say why his face looked so ugly, "Can’t I go out and relax?"

This was somewhat serious, "Of course you can relax, let’s all go then."

Taking this chance to see what could support him abroad.

So the news spread about Gong Ruini and the group heading to Hot Spring Villa, just two days before the exams, shocking some exam candidates who constantly monitored her moves.

"Surely a diversion tactic, who knows how many books are packed in the car."

"Right, definitely bluffing."

"Sigh, she has the privilege to be capricious."

"With good grades, of course, she can relax; getting into Jing University is no problem at all."

Gong Ruini couldn’t care less about outside opinions on her hot spring trip; she just wants to play, play, play, then completely relax.

Of course, going out to play can’t miss the camera. Gong Ruini was clutching her precious camera, snapping away nonstop.

Future financial tycoon, future TCM expert, and civil servants; Gong Ruini thoroughly snapped quite a few swimsuit pictures.

Zhao Guangran wasn’t unwilling to resist, genuinely worried whether Gong Ruini might photograph some strange photos again; he was truly concerned about Gong Ruini.

What distressed him more was seeing the photo album Gong Ruini made, marking embarrassing notes beside each cringe-worthy photo, notes Zhao Guangran still refuses to recall, truly awakening feelings even now.

Gong Ruzhi and Gong Jiaming, along with Wan Yihui, were indifferent, frequently posing collaborative photos, often pulling in Gong Ruwen and Zhao Guangran.

Zhao Guangran was really annoyed, internally longing to open these kids’ heads to see their structure inside, haven’t they seen his embarrassing photos enough?

Clearly, those photos they make fun of aren’t few, yet somehow none learned the lesson.

"Say cheese." Gong Ruini signaled them all to extend their hands and make a V.

Zhao Guangran truly admired his big brother variously, treating Ni Zi so sincerely, clearly such childish actions, such juvenile slogans, surely not fitting big brother’s persona, but big brother obediently complied, truly bewildering.

"You didn’t do enough for Cao Na back then." Zhao Guangran lively and playful, Zhao Xuran casually poked at his sore spot.

Zhao Xuran really didn’t understand, even though they’ve broken up, being friends is a normal thing, but doing this wouldn’t imply other intentions?

Bringing up Cao Na again, truly driving him crazy, "I was giving her materials, regardless, hoping she could enter a good university."

"That way I’d feel assured too." Zhao Guangran wanted to ask his brother if they could care for Cao Na a little.

But as the words reached his mouth, he didn’t say them, knowing he could appropriately care for Cao Na, but couldn’t ask family to help, lest causing major issues.

"Relax, she’s not naïve, at least knows to invest, then use rent to keep buying properties." Zhao Xuran surely would keep an eye on Cao Na. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Not because of concern, but worrying she might struggle, then certainly finding ways to approach Ni Zi and Zhao Guangran, luckily her intelligence returned.
