57: Chapter 57 She's pretty fierce!

"I don't like having a deskmate. Teacher Han persuaded me, saying that since I'm already guaranteed admission, I should help supervise you and try to save your grades. After all, we've been classmates, so I agreed."

"Everyone knows I hate explaining problems repeatedly. I've been suppressing my disgust for stupidity, tutoring you over and over again. Do you have any idea how hard that is for me?"

"I hate idiots so much, yet I've forced myself to spend time with one, just hoping to make this idiot a little smarter."

"From March to June, the meat you ate at noon every day, the breeze you enjoyed while sleeping, the practice problems I specifically selected for you—which of these didn't require me to rack my brains?"

One thing after another, item by item.

Zhao Qingyan kept scolding him regardless of anything else, her emotions pouring out like a broken dam.

After speaking for a while, she noticed the gazes of the people around her and Shen Weiyue becoming increasingly strange. Realizing something was off, she quickly changed the subject to make up for it.

She pointed at Ning Xi and said indignantly, "It's not just me; there's also Ning Xi. Ning Xi tutored you too. She put in so much effort—do you think you're worthy of her?"

"???" Shen Weiyue remained completely bewildered.

Ning Xi's little mouth opened slightly, her eyes wide, but she didn't dare to speak. How did she get dragged into this?

Zhao Qingyan looked at Teacher Han and continued her tirade: "And there's Teacher Han. He has privately urged me more than once to supervise you, often asking about your state and how to adjust, and he makes you a focal point in every class."

"Besides Teacher Han, I also know that Teacher Liang has been privately tutoring you in English, working hard every day to grade your essays and plan your crash course path."

"And Teacher Gao, Teacher Chen..."

"So many people have lifted you up to achieve today's results. You know full well that all the teachers and even the school have worked so hard just to produce one more top-tier university student. Now that you have the chance to get into Qingbei University and repay them, how can you be so selfish?"

Zhao Qingyan spoke so logically that everyone in the classroom nodded in agreement, feeling disbelief as well.

Everyone had always assumed that Ning Xi, Shen Weiyue, and Yuan Tianze would definitely try for Qingbei University.

That bastard Shen Weiyue, could he actually have other ideas?

Seriously, setting aside all the sentimental feelings, looking purely at the practical and material side.

If one more student gets into Qingbei University, the teachers get more bonuses, the school's honor increases, the leaders of the Education Bureau get promoted...

This is a win-win situation for all parties involved. Everyone benefits, isn't that wonderful?

Shen Weiyue remained silent. Zhao Qingyan, still not venting all her frustration, shifted her gaze and grabbed Ye Lingtao, pointing at him sharply: "And Ye Lingtao!"

Ye Lingtao was so scared his sphincter tightened. He pointed at himself, completely confused, thinking to himself, "What does this have to do with me?"

Shen Weiyue was also baffled—how could she drag that jerk into this?

Zhao Qingyan glared at him and said with clear logic: "Ye Lingtao buys you grilled sausages and cola every night. Doesn't he want a friend who attends Qingbei University so he can brag about it later? It's a huge face-saver!"

"Hiss..." Shen Weiyue gasped. Damn, that actually made some sense.

Ye Lingtao's eyes suddenly cleared and brightened, locking onto him intensely. That's right, my brother getting into Qingbei University is basically me getting into Qingbei University.

If I have a brother at Qingbei University, that's top-tier bragging rights. I can boast about it wherever I go.

He got excited and blurted out, "Shen Weiyue, you must apply to Qingbei University. Zhao Qingyan is right!"

The whole class realized it, and they said in unison, "That's right, we also want one more classmate at Qingbei University!"

A powerful force of belief converged on Shen Weiyue, causing him to actually doubt his own thoughts.

He looked at Zhao Qingyan with an indescribable expression. After this fox had rambled on and on, she finally returned to her beautiful, cold demeanor, but she looked a bit punchable.

Before he could explain anything, Han Changming had already guessed everything, so he stood up and called out: "Ning Xi, Shen Weiyue, Yuan Tianze, you three come out with me."

The Old Demon walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back, and the three of them followed.

They went up a floor to the main office. As soon as they entered, all the subject teachers looked over with smiles.

Liang Yuting was among them, but the moment she saw Shen Weiyue, her smile disappeared instantly. Their eyes met and then quickly looked away.

She was still elegant and beautiful today, but there was a hint of lingering panic and evasion between her brows.

Shen Weiyue felt a stab in his heart. It was painful, and he felt as if an invisible wall stood before them, wanting to isolate them completely.

"Shen Weiyue, why are your brows furrowed? Aren't you happy with such good results? Or are you worried because you don't know which school to choose?" Teacher Gao, the Chinese teacher, teased.

Shen Weiyue shook his head, his expression returning to normal: "I'm not worried. These results are all thanks to the help of the teachers. I will never forget your kindness. Thank you all."

He bowed deeply and sincerely. His polite demeanor made the teachers even happier, and they all began to praise him.

"Haha, Shen Weiyue, you really stayed silent for three years only to shock everyone. While we certainly played a part in these results, the most important thing is that you worked hard enough yourself. This is the best reward."

"The director was betting with Old Han earlier, wondering if you could get into a top-ten 985 University. Old Han has definitely won this time."

"Our school has never seen a dark horse like you. You've broken records and made history."

"Alright, let's stop for now. Let me say a few words." Han Changming signaled for the three of them to sit down, then said: "I called you three here mainly because the school has carefully considered it and believes you all have a chance to aim for Qingbei University. Therefore, we suggest that you all fill in Qingbei University as your first choice."

"The school estimates the admission cutoff for Qingbei University this time should be around 620 points. You have a great chance. Now, I want to hear your thoughts."

All the teachers looked at them, their eyes filled with encouragement and expectation.

Yuan Tianze got hot-headed and stepped up without hesitation, saying: "Teacher Han, I also want to give it a shot, so I will apply to Qingbei University."

"Very good, Tianze has ambition." Han Changming looked at Ning Xi, "Ning Xi, what about you?"

"Uh, Teacher Han, I... I haven't decided yet. What if I don't get in..." Ning Xi glanced at Shen Weiyue and replied stutteringly.

"There's absolutely no need to worry. This year, the province's College Entrance Exam has been reformed, and parallel choices are being implemented. Even if you fail to get into your first choice of Qingbei University, you can still be admitted to your second choice. It won't affect you."

"Then... then I'll think about it. Why don't you ask Shen Weiyue first?"

"Alright, Shen Weiyue, what do you think?"

Shen Weiyue was still thinking about Zhao Qingyan's words even at this moment. There was only one thought in his mind: She's so damn fierce. Why is she suddenly so fierce?

Now the ball had been kicked to his feet by Ning Xi, and all the teachers were staring at him. Shen Weiyue had to temporarily put aside his chaotic thoughts and replied:

"Teachers, actually, today's results far exceeded my expectations. My initial goal was Jianghai University."

"However, after Zhao's words and Teacher Han's reminder just now, if it's under the parallel choice system, I am willing to take a gamble."

"That's great..." The teachers were overjoyed.

Shen Weiyue added: "However, I won't choose the worst major just for the sake of the Qingbei University name. I hope you understand."

The teachers fell silent again. With this score, it might be possible to get into Qingbei University if he stretches, but it's very risky to get a good major.

Han Changming remained silent for a long time, watching a bird fly past the window. His obsession suddenly loosened, and he nodded: "That's good. You have goals, thoughts, and perseverance. Teacher supports your choice."

After saying this, he felt completely relaxed. Everyone had been trapped by the name of Qingbei University for years and had become a bit obsessed.

In fact, having one more top-tier 985 University student was already an unexpected joy. What more could one ask of Shen Weiyue? Let it be; he had already done enough to save face!
