Chapter 64: Chapter 64: How about bluffing her into Tsinghua University or Peking University?

After the results came out, Xu's father and mother walked and talked with much more confidence the next day.

They were willing to chat with anyone around.

Others would smile and offer congratulations, then turn around to berate their own underachieving children with a Seven Wolves belt.

Xu Musen always felt that every time he stepped outside, the students from the neighborhood who were on summer break looked at him a bit oddly.

It was obvious they had been compared to him by their parents.

If a village produced a student who got into Tsinghua University or Peking University, they would certainly become the nightmare of all other students in the village.

The day after the results were released, it was already time to start filling in university preferences.

The school also notified the students to return to collect their graduation certificates, which was also an opportunity for the students to seek advice from their teachers on choosing a good university.

The teachers often said that after the college entrance exam, choosing the right university and major was more useful than scoring a few more points.

Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue had just arrived at school when they were greeted by the teachers.

Their scores were the best advertisement for the school's enrollment brochure.

Especially Yao Mingyue's, which had broken seven hundred points.

Several students were pulled together to take a group photo, which was intended to be used for a promotional poster.

They were also asked to write a slogan to inspire the younger students.

Xu Musen casually wrote some motivational platitude, "The harder you work, the luckier you get."

Yao Mingyue glanced at Xu Musen before gently writing her own message.

"I'd rather make mistakes than do nothing at all. If it's mine, I must not let it slip away."

The classmates were familiar with each other and couldn't help but turn their gazes towards Xu Musen when they saw this sentence.

Xu Musen stared at these words... these damn words could only be written by someone almost pathologically obsessive.

No, he'd better find a way to get her into Tsinghua University or Peking University!

The classmates arrived one after another, and everyone gathered to reminisce about the past and dream about their future college life.

"Ming Yue, have you decided which university you want to apply for? Seven hundred points! You could go to Tsinghua or Peking University, right?"

A few girls surrounded Yao Mingyue enviously.

Yao Mingyue didn't rush to answer but looked up at Xu Musen for a moment.

The teacher said with a smile, "Our class has produced two top students this year. It's not impossible for Xu Musen to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. Last year, the lowest admission scores for these universities were just over six hundred seventy points. With your science background, Tsinghua would be even better."

"Right, didn't Yao Mingyue say before that after going to university, she would seriously confirm her relationship with Xu Musen? Yao Mingyue's grades are good enough for Tsinghua or Peking University."

"Oh~ No wonder Xu Musen studied so hard in the last month. It turns out it was for this reason."

"Haha, I just saw their campaign slogans. 'The harder you work, the luckier you get.' That's clearly a confession..."

Now that they had graduated, the students discussed the two openly and delighted in the gossip.

Yao Mingyue's cheeks were a little red at the moment, and the feeling of everyone pairing them up brought her a kind of joy that was hard to express.

Moreover, this time she showed no intention of explaining, even somewhat consenting to the idea of being together with Xu Musen after starting university.

Watching her expression, something suddenly clicked in Xu Musen's mind, and he decided to play along. He scratched his head.

Showing an embarrassed look as if his secret thoughts had been uncovered, he said, "Don't talk nonsense, who wouldn't want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University if they had the chance?"

This spurred even louder gossip and teasing from the classmates.

"Quit pretending already!"

"Just admit it outright, why wait until university, huh?"

The teachers were all smiling, knowing that if their class could produce two students who got into Tsinghua or Peking University, they would definitely be in the running for the next Excellent Teacher award.

Yao Mingyue's eyes sparkled, and seeing Xu Musen's somewhat unusual reaction, it seemed like she had heard the best news in recent times.

After the students received their graduation certificates, they lingered, not in a hurry to leave, chatting leisurely.

"Finally graduated, I want to buy a laptop so I can play 'CF' every day once I'm at university!"

"I want to get a new phone, but my family refuses to buy me an iPhone, saying it's too expensive."

"Is anyone planning to get double eyelid surgery or some kind of facial treatment? I heard there's a group discount at a hospital!"

"Me and my buddy are also planning to get it done at the hospital."

"You guys are getting double eyelid surgery too?"

"No, it's something else that gets cut. The second one is half-price too..." The boy coughed dryly.

The girl who had interjected was a bit puzzled, but another girl whispered something in her ear, and she instantly blushed and spat, "Pervert."

The boys laughed heartily.

"But my family won't buy me a computer or a new phone, no matter how much I beg and plead. I don't have the money to buy a decent one."

"Then why not work a summer job at a factory and buy your own phone and laptop? Isn't that great?"

"The factories now are just black-hearted, might even withhold your wages..."

It was clear that most of them wanted to fulfill their wishes during this holiday.

But the undertone of most conversations revealed the word 'poverty'.

As students, they need to ask their families for everything, but their families can't support everything either.

"Then just do part-time work. Settle accounts daily. Earn over a hundred a day, and you can take home several thousand in a month."

At that moment, a voice came from the crowd.

It was He Qiang speaking.

Others looked at his dark face and immediately mocked, "There are more scams in part-time jobs, and where do you find a job that pays a hundred a day?"

He Qiang nonchalantly pulled out the latest model of an Apple phone, pretending to check the time.

"Whoa, isn't that the newly released Apple 4? He Qiang, did you strike it rich?"

In this era, a nice phone was really something to show off among students. Otherwise, people wouldn't bend over backward just to afford an Apple phone.

He Qiang was usually low-key, so everyone assumed his family was average. Suddenly whipping out a phone that costs several thousand made others envious.

"Part-time work. Saved up and bought it."

He Qiang looked nonchalant.

Have to say, showing off felt kind of awesome.

Xu Musen also smiled quietly on the side.

He didn't realize his good buddy had such a talent for performance.

The classmates who were doubtful just a moment ago now looked at each other and couldn't help but start to ask.

"He Qiang, where exactly do you work part-time?"

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you."

"Just kidding around before, come on, we're all old classmates, spill it."

A few boys spoke enviously.

"Fine, but it's hard to explain. Fortunately, I have some flyers in my pocket. If you want to take a look, go ahead."

He Qiang "accidentally" found flyers in his pocket with messy casualness and took them out.

"Let me see!"

But this sloppy act was enough to fool these high school students who were all intent on making money.

Sure enough, everyone was immediately attracted to the words "daily wages," "no experience needed," and "the more you work, the more you earn" on the flyers.

With He Qiang as a living example right beside them, quite a few were instantly tempted.

Seeing that his aim was achieved, Xu Musen felt overjoyed and watched the adorable little busy bee classmates.

The harder they worked, the sweeter his own life would be.

On the way back,

Yao Mingyue's gaze kept drifting toward Xu Musen, and finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are you really planning to apply to Tsinghua?" Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xu Musen also turned to look at her, thinking you're finally taking the bait.

But outwardly, he spoke with a touch of sentiment, "Ever since I was a kid, my parents told me to study hard so I could get into Tsinghua or Peking University. If there's a chance, of course, I want to seize it."

Xu Musen hadn't lied, he had said to seize the chance, but didn't say he had to apply to that school necessarily.

He gave the little tsundere a glance. If he truly managed to coax her into applying to Tsinghua or Peking University,

She would achieve a top-notch education, and he would obtain the freedom in life.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?
