Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Twenty minutes later, the modified Coaster stopped at the entrance of Genting Palace No. 1.

As soon as the car door opened, Chen Tingting, Li Jiaxin, Zhang Qian, and Lin Xiaoshuang rushed out of the car.

"Time to go home!"

Lin Xiaoshuang, carrying a small yellow bag, was the first to run into the yard.

Chen Tingting raised her hand to brush aside her red hair: "At least I don't have to work overtime today."

Li Jiaxin chimed in, "Isn't Wang Wei still editing the video?"

"What business is it of ours if he works overtime?"

That makes sense.

Four energetic young women walked at the front, chatting and laughing.

Bai Li lagged a few steps behind, Xie Lingmo held his left arm, and Li Mengmeng hugged his right arm; neither of them wanted to let go.

Only Jiang Ruyue covered her head, while An Yaoyao slowly trailed behind.

An Yaoyao reached out and ruffled her hair:

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

Jiang Ruyue's face fell:

"I simply raised a question that has research value."

"Then why don't you stuff betel nuts into your body and study it?"

"I don't need it."

Jiang Ruyue thought about it carefully for a while, then added:

"Big Stallion says I'm still in factory condition."

Bai Li, who was in front, stopped abruptly.

He turned around: "Hurry up!"

"If you dawdle any longer, I won't let you choose your college majors later."

"oh oh……"

Jiang Ruyue put down her hand and then pulled An Yaoyao to follow.

The group entered and changed into slippers.

Li Mengmeng placed the Kuromi bag on the entryway cabinet and hugged Xie Lingmo's arm.

"Brother Bai Li, please help Yao Yao and Ru Yue apply for universities first."

"Lingmo and I are going to cook."

Bai Li nodded in agreement and then went upstairs to get her laptop.

When he came down, four young women were already sitting around the sofa.

Chen Tingting patted the spot next to her:

"Big brother, we're here to join in the fun too."

Li Jiaxin is holding a bag of potato chips:

"We've never seen anyone write out college application forms before."

These four young girls didn't even graduate from junior high school.

Back then, they were busy surfing the internet and dyeing their hair, and never even got to the point of taking the college entrance exam.

Bai Li placed the computer on the coffee table:

"Okay, let's watch it together."

Lin Xiaoshuang hugged the cushion and moved closer to Jiang Ruyue.

"Yaoyao, Ruyue, what were your scores on the college entrance exam?"

Zhang Qian sat cross-legged on the carpet: "Did you get 300 points?"

Jiang Ruyue raised her innocent face: "I'll definitely get 300 points."

An Yaoyao picked up a slice of watermelon: "If you throw the answer sheet on the ground and stomp on it, you'd probably get 300 points."

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoshuang counted on her fingers: "If an answer sheet is worth 300 points, then stepping on it twice would be 600 points, right?"

Bai Li raised her hand and tapped her: "You'd better never get involved in the education industry again in your life."

He opened the college application webpage and entered Jiang Ruyue's information as a test taker.

"Ruyue is the top scorer in Ping County this year, with over 700 points. She can choose any school she wants."

"A while ago, a TV station wanted to interview her, but she declined."

Li Jiaxin put down her potato chips: "Over seven hundred?"

Zhang Qian turned to look at Jiang Ruyue:

"You're so smart, how come I never knew it before?"

Jiang Ruyue straightened her skirt:

"Because the topics you're discussing don't require any brainpower."

"..."

The four energetic young women fell silent.

An Yaoyao sat on the edge of the sofa, not eating the watermelon in her hand for a long time.

Bai Li glanced at her.

This girl, nicknamed "Landmine Girl," scored over 400 points on her test and was initially quite happy.

Sitting next to Jiang Ruyue, however, makes one vulnerable to being hurt.

Bai Li raised his hand and tugged at the end of her gray hair.

"Yaoyao is not bad either."

"A score of over 400 is enough to get into an undergraduate program."

"Once I choose a suitable major and study it seriously for a few years, I won't be any worse than anyone else."

An Yaoyao raised her hand to cover her face.

"Don't try to comfort me."

"She has over 700, and I have over 400."

"When we sat together to fill out our college applications, even the school teachers would suspect the website was hacked."

Lin Xiaoshuang said earnestly, "You two are both very capable."

"In junior high, the perfect score was 1050."

"The four of us combined can't even get 700 points."

An Yaoyao lowered her hand: "The four of you combined?"

Chen Tingting leaned back on the sofa: "It's all Xiao Shuang's fault."

"Halfway through the exam, she insisted that it was cheaper to turn on the computer at an internet cafe in the morning, and dragged us to hand in our papers early."

Lin Xiaoshuang retorted, "I only said one thing: you all wanted to leave."

An Yaoyao, holding the watermelon, was completely dumbfounded.

"Did you just write your names, randomly select answers for the multiple-choice questions, and then hand in your papers early?"

The four young women all looked at her at the same time.

How did you know?!

Bai Li tapped Lin Xiaoshuang again: "That's the only possibility."

"If you had just written something casually, you would have gotten more than 100 points in Chinese."

Lin Xiaoshuang rubbed her head: "I can't write the essay."

"What's the question?"

"My ideal."

"How did you write it?"

"I wrote that my ideal is not to go to school."

Bai Li was silent for two seconds: "No wonder the examiner didn't give you points for sentimentality."

An Yaoyao leaned back on the sofa, her embarrassment lessening considerably.

A score of over 400 is suddenly quite respectable.

Bai Li opened her favorites.

"Ruyue, I've picked out a few schools for you."

"Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University in Shanghai, and Oxford University in the UK."

"With your grades, you should be able to give it a try."

Jiang Ruyue hugged her knees and considered it seriously for a while.

"I'm not going abroad anymore."

"Why?" Li Jiaxin asked. "Oxford sounds so prestigious."

Jiang Ruyue turned to look at Bai Li: "It's too far from home."

"I also want to relieve my pent-up desire with my big stallion when I come back on vacation~"

An Yaoyao dropped the watermelon from her hand back onto the plate.

Zhang Qian covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Chen Tingting gave a thumbs up: "That's ambitious."

Bai Li pressed down on her head:

"My first choice is Tsinghua or Peking University, and my second choice is Fudan University in Shanghai. Is that okay?"

Jiang Ruyue nodded repeatedly, "Mhm."

After Bai Li chose a university, she asked, "What about a major?"

"Currently popular fields include AI, computer science, and finance."

"Since you're good at math, you could also pursue a career in science and engineering."

Jiang Ruyue shook her head: "AI is boring."

"Because I'm quite fond of AI myself."

No one can refute this statement.

She stared at the computer for a while:

"Choose math at Tsinghua or Peking University, and law at Fudan University."

Bai Li turned his head and looked her over a few more times:

"You did a good job with your homework."

"Both of these majors are very strong and suitable for you."

Bai Li helped her choose a major and then checked the information again.

"Saved. I'll confirm it again when it's officially open for submission."

An Yaoyao had been waiting for half a day.

She grabbed Bai Li's arm and shook it: "What about me?"

Where can I go?

Lin Xiaoshuang peeked over from the side and said, "Yaoyao, why don't you come with us to test the sweet potato?"

An Yaoyao didn't understand: "What sweet potato?"

Chen Tingting pinched Lin Xiaoshuang's waist: "She at least took the college entrance exam, why would she take it as a test?"

Bai Li opened another list of schools.

An Yaoyao leaned very close, her long, dark gray hair falling onto his arm.

She stared at the screen for a while, becoming more and more nervous.

A score of 400+ is enough to get into an undergraduate program, but the number of schools and majors you can choose from is not very large.

She wanted to stay by Bai Li's side.

Ideally, we should live in the same province so that I can come back during holidays and we can meet on weekdays and weekends.

But she was also afraid that the school was too bad and she would embarrass Bai Li after she left.

Chen Tingting looked at her for a while, then suddenly sat up straight.

"Yaoyao, you can actually go to those schools that your older brother and Xiaoruyue mentioned."

An Yaoyao turned her face: "Really?"

"real."

"The school names are only one character different."

An Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she moved her body forward a little.

Which ones?

Li Jiaxin put down the potato chips and started counting on her fingers as she introduced the product.

"Ruyue is from Oxford University in England and Fudan University in Shanghai."

"You can apply to Niuguo Yingjin University and Shanghai Tiaodan University."

Jiang Ruyue sat beside her and patted An Yaoyao on the shoulder:

"Don't listen to them. The school isn't important; your major is."

Zhang Qian smiled and looked at An Yaoyao:

"If Xiaoruyue were an AI major..."

"You're a specialist in AI."
