Chapter 217: Xiao Ba General (1)

Chapter 217

After the exams were over, Jing City No.1 Middle School organized two rounds of score estimation.

The first round involved a strict comparison of answers to estimate the lowest possible score, while the second round used a more relaxed approach to estimate the best ideal score. Finally, the average of the two scores was taken to obtain a relatively objective score.

The good news was that even according to the results of the first round of estimation, Qi Shaobai's score exceeded the admission cutoff of his ideal college last year.

He immediately shared this news with Sheng Mumu.

Within seconds of sending the message, Sheng Mumu called him.

The call connected.

Sheng Mumu's excited voice came through the invisible waves.

She asked, "Where are you now?"

Qi Shaobai replied, "I just left the school and I'm preparing to go home."

"Wait before you leave. I'll come to find you."

Qi Shaobai asked with confusion, "?"

Sheng Mumu, in a hurry, spoke while already picking up her bag and leaving the office.

She reminded Qi Shaobai, "Don't wait foolishly at the school gate. Let's meet at the Red Bean Ice Cream Shop on the back street of your school. We can wait there and enjoy the air conditioning."

Qi Shaobai instinctively replied, "Alright." He was about to ask why she was coming over, but before he could speak, he heard Sheng Mumu's voice again.

"By the way, we're in a hurry. I won't get off the car. Please buy a bag of maltose candy for your dad."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Shaobai heard Sheng Mumu complaining about the poor elevator signal, exchanged a few hurried words, and then the call ended.

Qi Shaobai was momentarily stunned.

In a rush?

Where did she plan to take him?

He was completely puzzled.

However, he obediently changed direction and walked toward the back gate of the school.

Sheng Mumu's company was not close to Jing City No.1 Middle School. Under normal traffic conditions, it usually took about twenty minutes to get there.

But today, the minute hand had just passed the third tick mark.

Fifteen minutes.

A red Porsche appeared in front of the Red Bean Ice Cream Shop.

Qi Shaobai got into the car, holding two bags in his hands.

He fastened his seatbelt and placed the bag of maltose candy on the back seat, then handed the other bag to Sheng Mumu.

"Here, I packed the red bean ice cream for you."

He remembered that the last time Sheng Mumu came to his school, she had eaten two bowls of red bean ice cream at this shop.

It wasn't even summer at that time, yet she could eat so much ice cream.

It was evident that she really liked it.

While waiting for her at the Red Bean Ice Cream Shop, he naturally thought of packing a portion for her.

Qi Mo's choice of words was not absolute, but his eyes and eyebrows revealed unwavering confidence, a look of complete certainty.

Sheng Mumu immediately searched for the admission scores of University of Science and Technology Jing City over the years.

When she received the estimated score message from Qi Shaobai today, she happily jumped up from her chair and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Unless something unexpected happens, his scores should be enough to meet the cutoff.

The idea of bringing Qi Shaobai to visit his dream school almost instantly came to her mind.

Standing in front of the entrance gate of University of Science and Technology Jing City, Qi Shaobai's emotions were complex.

There was a faint longing and excitement, as well as a mix of trust and doubt about Sheng Mumu's words.

Is it really true?

He's eighteen, not eight.

Is it so obvious what he's thinking, written all over his face for everyone to see?

He wanted to become a man like his father, who remained calm and unreadable, with a mysterious and composed demeanor.

He thought it was really cool.

But... it seemed like he was getting further away from that goal.

He was nothing like his father at all.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go, and explore the school where you'll spend the next four years."

Sheng Mumu's urging voice interrupted his thoughts.

Qi Shaobai took a step forward, smiled happily, and modestly said, "I may not necessarily pass the exam. My estimated score might not be accurate."

Although the estimated score was good, he didn't dare to be too happy until the actual results were released.

Clap—

Someone patted Qi Shaobai on the back.

He turned around and saw Sheng Mumu frowning at him.

With a complaining tone, she said, "You, just like your father, always act so cautious and cunning. You pretend to be modest and humble, but deep down, you're cautious and sly, leaving yourself an escape route."

Qi Shaobai was stunned by the scolding. "..."

Sheng Mumu thought that Qi Shaobai's expression just now was exactly the same as Qi Mo's last night.

Indeed, under the influence of Old President, the Young President is gradually taking shape.

Sigh.

Sheng Mumu sighed lightly, shook her head, and continued walking ahead.

Qi Shaobai followed behind her with his hands in his pockets, touring the campus of the University of Science and Technology Jing City.

After a while, Sheng Mumu casually glanced back and saw Qi Shaobai's naturally gloomy face with an expression that could be described as "excited."

What is this kid smiling about?

Could it be that he thought she just praised him?

What exactly is he so excited about?
