Chapter 290 Extra 014
Jiang Sheng sensed her presence and asked her calmly if she had satisfied her curiosity. Lin Wei's voice was filled with apology and helplessness. She longed to share her distress with Jiang Sheng and find some comfort. However, Jiang Sheng's response was still cold and he rejected her request. Lin Wei was full of disappointment, but she also understood his position. In the end, she could only quietly retreat to the living room and endure the unspeakable loneliness and pain alone.

This night has different meanings for both of them. Jiang Sheng pursues spiritual sublimation in his practice, while Lin Wei experiences the hardships of life in pain and loneliness. In the days to come, they may understand each other better because of this experience, or they may drift apart because of their own choices. But in any case, this night will become an indelible mark in their memories.

Maybe it was the soul-cleansing drizzle last night that made the next morning seem so different. The sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled all over the earth. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil and flowers. The birds sang one after another, weaving into a symphony of nature. In such a morning, everything seemed full of vitality and vigor, heralding a new beginning.

Jiang Sheng woke up slowly from a night of meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and a faint smile naturally appeared at the corner of his mouth. The busyness and exploration of last night seemed to have been washed away by the rain, leaving only the expectation for a new day. After five or six consecutive experiments and adjustments the night before, he finally succeeded in brewing a "simplified version of Qi-recovering soup". Although the effect of this version of the soup can only reach one-tenth of the real Qi-recovering soup, it miraculously stabilized the continuously declining true qi in Jiang Sheng's body temporarily, making him feel a long-lost sense of security. This achievement is undoubtedly the greatest comfort for his persistence in exploration in adversity.

However, Jiang Sheng knew that although the Qi-recovering soup could relieve the urgency for a while, it was not a long-term solution. After all, it was just a consumable and could not fundamentally improve one's cultivation. In the world of cultivation, the real improvement comes from the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and to achieve this, one must rely on the spiritual herbs and medicines containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the "Small Peiyuan Pill". But thinking of this, Jiang Sheng's smile gradually faded, and his brows unconsciously locked. In today's earth where the spiritual energy is almost exhausted, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find precious spiritual herbs and medicines. It is not easy at all.

At the breakfast table, Lin Wei hesitated several times, her eyes revealing a complex emotion of gratitude and worry. She tried to communicate with Jiang Sheng, but was interrupted by him on the grounds that the college entrance examination was approaching and there was no room for distraction. In Jiang Sheng's view, at this moment, except for the upcoming college entrance examination, nothing else mattered. His attitude was firm, even a little indifferent.

"Mr. Zhou..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here." Jiang Sheng's words were simple and direct, leaving no room for negotiation.

Hearing this, Lin Wei could only lower her head silently, scoop up the porridge with a spoon, and carefully put it into her mouth. With gauze wrapped around her face, she swallowed every mouthful with extreme caution. However, the waves in her heart were hard to calm down, and her tears slid down and dripped on the edge of the bowl, making a slight "click" sound. In this regard, Jiang Sheng chose to turn a blind eye, as he had more important things to consider.

After the meal, Jiang Sheng simply cleaned up the dishes and threw them into the sink. He left a message saying "I won't be back for lunch" and hurried out to attend to his own affairs, leaving Lin Wei alone in the empty house, wrestling with her complicated feelings.

In a blink of an eye, the wheel of time rolled to June 6. This day, for countless young people across the country, is a day that determines their fate - the college entrance examination. This is not just an exam, but also the final test of millions of candidates' more than ten years of hard study, a threshold that can open a new chapter in life. From kindergarten to high school, every night of studying late into the night, every effort and sweat, all converge into the tension and expectation of this moment. The college entrance examination is the springboard for dreams and a key step to change destiny. It means the free flying sky and the vast ocean. For every candidate, this is a turning point full of infinite possibilities.

Across the country, whether in bustling cities or remote villages, the atmosphere of the college entrance examination is everywhere. The areas around the examination halls were put on alert early, with police, armed police and patrol teams on standby to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination. Temporary traffic control was set up on the roads to reduce noise interference and create a quiet examination environment for candidates. All sectors of society have paid high attention and support to jointly maintain this national-level selection examination, witnessing the growth and transformation of a generation.

The same thing happened at the entrance of Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School. The parents of the candidates surrounded the examination room so tightly that no one could get in or out. There were also volunteers composed of parents patrolling around the examination room and prohibiting honking or making noises.

Various encouragement banners are hung on roadside trees and in front of school gates: How many chances do you have to fight in your life? If not today, when will you fight?
The sufferings of the past and the pains of the present will all be smiles of the future!
The king of heaven covers the earth, all the students are admitted to 985, the pagoda suppresses the river monster, all the students are admitted to 211...

Zhou Weiping also took a leave today, and borrowed his colleague's old Tiguan to take Jiang Sheng to school. His examination room was at No. 8 Middle School. It was exactly o'clock. Before getting off the car, Jiang Sheng said seriously: "Peking University and Tsinghua University are too far away. I plan to apply for Lin'an University, or go to your alma mater Tianhai University, which is closer to home. What do you think?"

For Jiang Sheng, taking the college entrance examination and going to college were just a transaction. As long as he could become the top scorer in the province, he would have fulfilled his oath. As for which college to go to, or whether to go to college at all, that was another matter.

Zhou Weiping was amused by his words. He hugged his shoulders affectionately and said with a smile, "Okay! As long as you have the ability, it's up to you to choose which school. Dad has no objection."

"It's settled then." Jiang Sheng smiled, patted Zhou Weiping on the shoulder, then opened the car door and walked out.

At 8:15, people started to enter the venue by facial recognition. He was in Class (II).

The exam will start at 9 o'clock sharp.

After getting the test paper, Jiang Sheng first glanced at the questions, and then selected BBADCDACB one by one.

He also did not stop when doing reading comprehension and filling in the blanks. His standard small characters looked as if they were carved, elegant and graceful.

It took less than twenty minutes to finish writing.

Composition is a bit troublesome because there is no standard answer.

However, as long as you stick to the central idea of ​​the composition, first use some famous people's great and glorious poems to flatter it, then find some controversial examples from social phenomena to discuss them, and finally imagine the future in a way that echoes the beginning and the end, then you will basically be right.

This is what is often referred to as "phoenix head, pig belly, leopard tail".
