Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 315 The College Entrance Examination is Finally Over

The live stream's gift-giving effects overwhelmed the two large screens:

[User @CaiLi (CaiLi) CP Fan Leader] gifted 10 Dream Castles
[User @EducationBureauObserver] gifted 99 Koi Leaping Over the Dragon Gate.
[User @AerospacePowerInstitute] donated 50 space rockets.
……

Li Xiang looked up at Jiang Cai'er, who was surrounded by admirers, and felt that the luster of the jade hairpin in her hair was more dazzling than any crown.

When the live stream ended, Li Xiang reviewed the data backstage and discovered that his private message list contained emails from the special admissions offices of several top universities. However, although these universities were prestigious and were also 985 universities, Jiang Cai'er probably wouldn't consider them.

Li Xiang's motivation for doing this live stream wasn't purely to make money; it was also to promote the reputation of his hometown's No. 1 High School.

After all, although the county's No. 1 High School's official account also broadcast live, the number of viewers was far less than that of Li Xiang's live stream. Li Xiang now has over 50 million followers and the rank of lieutenant colonel; he has already become a legendary figure.

Li Xiang usually declines interviews with many official media outlets. In particular, the fact that he received military merits on his own merits is still under investigation and cannot be discussed further.

Jiang Cai'er's poem circulated online, and the coming-of-age ceremony and oath-taking rally at the county's No. 1 High School became hot topics. However, all the students at the school paid no attention to these events and were instead focused on their intense review.

With the college entrance examination approaching, even the confident Jiang Cai'er has been focusing on her studies these past few days, no longer sneaking around on the internet at night.

To Li Xiang's surprise, his aunt, who had always been very supportive of him, was not online during the live stream. However, he felt it was a favor to send gifts, and he couldn't force her to continue supporting him, since those gifts were real money.

He always remembered the kindness his aunt, who was his top supporter, had shown him. Her support during his humble beginnings was enough.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiang selected some items from his collection of European specialties that middle-aged women might like, including quite a few luxury goods, and sent them to his aunt who was his top fan.

After receiving them, Luo Feifei smiled and gave them to her mother and nanny. How could something belonging to a middle-aged woman be suitable for a young girl like her?
The peach tree in the backyard had already borne fuzzy peaches, the largest of which was the size of an egg. Li Xiang picked one and tasted it; it was quite crisp and tangy.

Ripe peaches are indeed delicious, but these unripe, fuzzy peaches also have their own unique flavor.

While he was working in the vegetable garden, the small animals played around him. The chili pepper trees, after being "careed out" by Zhao Xueqing, grew taller and taller, with lush branches and leaves, and were laden with fruit.

This "chili pepper tree" could probably yield dozens of kilograms of chili peppers.

Li Xiang picked a raw chili pepper, took a bite, and chewed it slowly. The spiciness was tempered with a subtle sweetness, and it was more juicy than dried chilies—it tasted quite good. The little tabby cat saw this, leaped over, and in a flash, "caught" a small chili pepper swaying in the wind from the tree. Then, mimicking Li Xiang, it took a big bite.

"You can eat this too?" Li Xiang exclaimed in surprise. Before he could finish his exclamation, the little tabby cat started meowing loudly, jumping up and down, and then ran to the cascading waterfall to frantically add water.

"Haha, you little glutton." Li Xiang ignored it.

Although life was leisurely, Li Xiang never relaxed his cultivation. The spiritual power in his body accumulated day by day, and several times he felt that he was about to break through and break through, but he still used the "holding back" technique to suppress it and continue to consolidate his foundation.

Time flies, and the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), which captivates the hearts of students and parents across the country, is just around the corner.

A day in advance, Li Xiang booked the best suite at the best hotel in the county town, and then placed an order with a familiar restaurant next door, asking them to deliver three meals a day to his hotel room, specifically emphasizing that the delivery time must not be late.

Jiang Cai'er lived here during the college entrance examination period. Originally, Jiang Cai'er said she was staying with her classmates, but she couldn't resist Li Xiang's enthusiasm and moved in.

Li Xiang lived in the next room.

It's not far from the exam venue; it's about a 20-minute walk, which should be easy for the two of us. Walking might even be faster than driving, because during the college entrance exam period, traffic can be very congested, and the roads near the exam venue are subject to traffic control, making it impossible for cars to get in.

Jiang Jianguo and his wife came over and were relieved to see that Li Xiang was protecting them so thoroughly. As for whether the two of them would do anything out of line, the couple was quite at ease, because the college entrance examination is a major life event, and Li Xiang has always been sensible and knows his limits, so he would never do anything reckless at such a crucial moment.

The meal Li Xiang ordered was very lavish, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, freshly squeezed juice, and a platter of spirit fruits after the meal. Of course, these spirit fruits were not included in the hotel's meal plan; they were a dessert he had specially prepared for Jiang Cai'er.

Three days passed in a flash. When the last exam ended and Jiang Cai'er came out, Li Xiang asked in a low voice, "About what score did you get?"

Jiang Cai'er smiled and said, "Around 748."

Li Xiang nodded, relieved. Since Jiang Cai'er said so, then it was a sure thing. As for why it wasn't a perfect score, Li Xiang thought that Jiang Cai'er deliberately controlled the score to prevent anyone from thinking she was too abnormal or not a normal person.

Actually, being able to score 748 points is already beyond the normal range.

Although they were talking softly, the area outside the exam hall was packed with parents. Several parents heard Jiang Cai'er's words, and one of the older women couldn't help but curl her lip and sneer, "This girl is really bragging without thinking."

Another middle-aged man said, "If we're talking about bragging, I'd say my son will get a perfect score. Anyone can do that!"

Although Jiang Cai'er is a star at school, the school rarely promotes her, so naturally many parents don't know who she is. As for Li Xiang, he's a minor internet celebrity and quite famous locally, but today he was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, so not many people noticed him.

The sun was too scorching, so many people covered their faces completely, especially women, who wore special ice silk sun masks and arm sleeves.

Jiang Cai'er wasn't afraid of the sun, and she wouldn't get tanned. The two ignored the sarcastic remarks from the older men and women and left the examination hall hand in hand.

They had already checked out of the hotel, so the two found a secluded spot and used earth magic to return home.

In the evening, Li Xiang prepared a sumptuous dinner at home, with all kinds of delicacies, red and white wines to choose from, and high-end wines. He invited Jiang Cai'er and her family to have another "reunion dinner" to celebrate Jiang Cai'er's successful completion of the college entrance examination.

This also marked the end of a rather important "career" in her life.

Many families celebrate the end of the college entrance examination with a big meal. However, in many other families, the children fall ill immediately after returning home, catching colds or fevers. They are probably physically and mentally exhausted. They had been holding on with a strong will, but as soon as the exam was over, they couldn't take it anymore, and their parents were naturally heartbroken.

Some may experience a relapse a few days later, which is due to the release of pressure and excessive indulgence, leading to "post-exam syndrome".

Every year, there are quite a few students like this, and hospitals see a peak in student visits after the college entrance examination.

It is mainly caused by psychological stress, changes in lifestyle, environmental changes and improper diet, but ultimately it is due to the weakened immune system caused by a long period of high-intensity study.

Jiang Cai'er is a third-tier superhuman with extraordinary abilities, so it's impossible for her to experience these things. Li Xiang trusts her completely.

After finishing their meal and playing for a while, Jiang Cai'er went home with her parents. As they left, they exchanged a glance, everything understood without a word.

Jiang Cai'er took a bath and changed her clothes, then went to bed early without even using her phone. Her parents assumed she was tired from the college entrance exam and needed to rest, so they didn't bother her.

As soon as midnight passed, Jiang Cai'er had a feeling and secretly slipped out. Sure enough, Xiang Ge was waiting for her in the courtyard.

They had previously agreed to pursue a two-person relationship after the college entrance exam. Although neither of them had brought it up in the past few days, they both kept it in mind.

About an hour later, the two arrived at a deserted island in the Indian Ocean. The water was crystal clear, the sand was soft and fine, and there were several coconut trees on the island, making it a stunningly beautiful place.
