AMA Chapter78

As the exam approached, the students around began to keep quiet and stared at the gate in silence.

 

“Chengsong.” Zhou Zheyu suddenly frowned, took out a cigarette, and bit it. “Why do I feel a little nervous?”

 

“Think about your girlfriend, and you won’t be nervous anymore.” Yu Chengsong looked at him.

 

In fact, he was a little nervous, but this was normal. After all, this was the first big test in his life, and being nervous was a sign of respect for his own efforts.

 

“The more I think about her, the more nervous I get.” Zhou Zheyu wiped his face. “F*ck, why do I act like an Omega?”

 

Yu Chengsong patted his shoulder and hugged him. “Actually, I’m nervous too. I get nervous as soon as I see Yin Gu.”

 

“Should I turn my back to you?” Yin Gu laughed and, after a while, added, “Actually… I’m not as calm as I look either.”

 

“You are just good at pretending,” Yu Chengsong said. “Me too.”

 

“Ai.” Zhou Zheyu threw away the cigarette and jumped on the spot. “Even the top students are nervous, so it’s normal for me to be nervous! Do your best! It will be fine!”

 

“Zheyu, remember, I have seen the results of your hard work in the past six months.” Yu Chengsong looked at him and pressed his shoulder. “If you don’t know the answers to many questions when answering the test paper, it means that the questions this year are extremely difficult and the passing score will be low. Just answer them normally, one by one. A few years ago, there was a time when the national test paper was extremely difficult and the passing score for undergraduates dropped to just over 300. Have you forgotten?”

 

“I haven’t forgotten!” Zhou Zheyu instantly became alert.

 

“Just do it.” Yin Gu encouraged.

 

“Just do it!” Qian Xiaoyu cheered him on.

 

“Yes!” Zhou Zheyu shouted, “Just do it!”

 

The school gate opened, and Yu Chengsong and others followed the crowd inside. Lao Li’s voice was behind them. No one knew who he was admonishing, but he was shouting very hard: “Fighting! Classmates! Fighting!”

 

Fighting, Yu Chengsong said in his heart, for now and for the future.

 

Yin Gu’s examination room was on the first floor, and Yu Chengsong and Zhou Zheyu were on the second floor.

 

When they parted, he hugged Yin Gu openly and whispered in his ear, “Fighting, boyfriend.”

 

“Fighting.” Yin Gu hugged him back, “Boyfriend.”

 

He went to the toilet before entering the examination room. Actually, he didn’t mean to do that. He just felt uneasy if he didn’t go there once.

 

No matter whether it is useful or not, prepare everything you can first. You can’t blame yourself if you really need to go to the toilet later.

 

There were quite a few students in the toilet, and it seemed that they all had the same idea as him. Some of those who were alone had serious expressions, while those who met people they knew would chat with them, but one could still see that they were nervous.

 

This is the situation of large-scale examinations. Even if you decide not to apply to any school and look for a job after the exam, you will still be nervous in this atmosphere.

 

When they entered the classroom, the invigilator joked with them humorously: “You all look so pretty and handsome, your ID cards must have been photoshopped to look ugly.”

 

“Come on, kids, don’t get bothered by the three of us during the exam. Just treat us like air.”

 

“Yes, if you feel uncomfortable with me standing next to you, just raise your hand and I will leave. Don’t be embarrassed.”

 

Yu Chengsong sat down for the first Chinese class. His seat was the third from the window. He could see the trees planted next to the teaching building by turning around.

 

The green grass is lush, just like his knowledgeable brain…

 

Black signing pen, marker, pencil, eraser…

 

When he took out these things, it was like taking out weapons, ready to fight the college entrance examination to my heart’s content.

 

The bell rang, and he got the test paper. He quickly spread it out and took a look at the essay.

 

It’s okay. It’s a very pretentious title, but it’s also very easy to write.

 

For a top student like him who had been trained to write an essay every day before the college entrance examination, as long as his handwriting did not fly high, no one could stop him from getting high scores.

 

What’s more, the Chinese teacher almost put a knife to his neck and forced him to practice regular script for several months…

 

The pen becomes a sword, the paper becomes a battlefield, and every movement is a crushing blow to the enemy—the question.

 

Modern Chinese reading, practical reading, classical Chinese…

 

When translating ancient Chinese, he encountered a small problem, but it’s not a big deal. He can write down the uncertain answer first and then come back to correct it…

 

When he came to writing the essay, he took a deep breath. The previous questions were simpler than he thought, leaving more time for the essay. He could make a breakthrough and get a super high score…

 

After writing the last word, the word count stopped at 800, four horizontal lines below.

 

Yu Chengsong took a deep breath and looked out the window. The leaves were swaying gently in the north wind.

 

He has finished writing it, and Yin Gu should be almost done too.

 

When he has checked all the previous questions for the second time, the bell rings to end the test.

 

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Zheyu running towards him, his eyes sparkling. He hugged him and shouted, “F*ck! Chengsong! I think my answer was okay!”

 

“That’s good!” Yu Chengsong grabbed him and ran downstairs. There was no time to reminisce about the past. He wanted to see Yin Gu now.

 

Especially want to.

 

When they reached the first floor, Yin Gu was standing at the classroom door, looking at the stairs. He smiled immediately when he saw them and walked over with open arms.

 

Yu Chengsong didn’t hesitate for a second. He left Zhou Zheyu and ran over to hug Yin Gu tightly.

 

“F*ck, I answered well. Why is my heart beating so fast now?”

 

“Missed me.” Yin Gu said, “I answered well, too. Don’t worry, boyfriend.”

 

“Maybe.” Yu Chengsong rubbed his head. “I’m not panicking anymore when I see you, it’s the magical Gu Gu panacea.”

 

“For the sake of the college entrance examination status of many students, can you two restrain yourself a little?” Zhou Zheyu stood aside speechlessly, “Is it okay to come out during the college entrance examination?”

 

Only then did Yu Chengsong let go of Yin Gu.

 

People around were crowding to leave, and no one dared to discuss loudly in front of him, but everyone’s expression was shocked. The word he heard most was “WTF?”

 

“You know nothing.” Yu Chengsong simply didn’t let go and pulled Yin Gu out. “Everyone is taking exams now, who has time to look after us?”

 

“Aren’t there plenty of free time here?” Zhou Zheyu pointed around.

 

“What’s the matter?” Yin Gu smiled, “Relieve everyone’s tension and don’t be too tense.”

 

“You guys are so kind.” Zhou Zheyu admired.

 

When they got home, Yu Chengdi had already ordered takeout for them. He didn’t dare ask them how they did in the exam. He just kept fanning them with a fan.

 

“You can’t use electric fans, or you’ll catch a cold.” Said Yu Chengdi.

 

“We did very well in the exam.” Yin Gu comforted him, “Don’t worry.”

 

“That’s good!” Yu Chengdi said maturely without much reaction, looking calm, “Don’t be nervous, the boss has given you some drinks for dinner, but don’t drink them. Sisi had gastroenteritis last month after drinking a drink!”

 

“I won’t drink, I want to drink purified water, tons, tons, tons.” Yu Chengsong laughed for a long time before picking up the bowl.

 

When the exams really started, the two days passed extremely quickly. After finishing the last English subject, Yu Chengsong checked three times before the bell rang.

 

This year’s test questions were very confusing. Chinese and math were designed to be simple. The candidates were happy one day, but they were slapped in the face by comprehensive science and English on the next day.

 

The difficulty for him may be that he needs to think about it for a while, change his thinking, and spend more time.

 

But for average students like Zhou Zheyu, it is not easy to widen the score gap, so they are all defeated with one blow.

 

Sure enough, when he saw Zhou Zheyu after leaving the examination room, the child’s face turned green. “Chengsong, I may be finished this time.”

 

“No—” Yu Chengsong said.

 

“You don’t have to comfort me.” Zhou Zheyu gritted his teeth, “I have to go find Xinxin. Our grades are similar. She must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. I have to go and comfort her! You go by yourself. I’m leaving!”

 

“Ah.” Yu Chengsong was stunned. “Slow down.”

 

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zheyu had already run out of sight. Yu Chengsong then realized, as if waking up from a dream—

 

The college entrance examination is over.

 

Zhou Zheyu’s previous emotions seemed to be contagious, and he felt as if his heart, which he had been forcing to be calm, suddenly lost its restraints and was beating so hard that it was about to jump out of his throat.

 

Boyfriend! Yin Gu! Gu Gu! Hua Hua!

 

He wants to see him!

 

Yu Chengsong didn’t even remember how he rushed down the stairs and ran to Yin Gu. When he regained consciousness, he had already hugged him tightly, his chin resting on his shoulder, repeating over and over again, “It’s over, boyfriend, it’s over!”

 

“It’s over.” Yin Gu rubbed the back of his head and laughed softly, “A new journey has begun.”

 

When leaving the school, Yu Chengsong asked for the tenth time, “How was your science?”

 

“It’s a bit troublesome, but it’s all written down. It’s not bad.” Yin Gu answered for the tenth time.

 

“That’s good.” Yu Chengsong grabbed his hand and rubbed it.

 

“Yu Chengsong! Yin Gu!” Lao Li waved from afar, his face flushed with excitement.

 

“Lao Li!” Yu Chengsong’s heart moved, and he also shouted, unable to help laughing.

 

The two of them are special candidates, and they are special enough when compared with the whole city.

 

Because they don’t have a father who expects good grades at home nor a mother who is eagerly waiting for them at the school gate. They only have them and a little kid who worries about them.

 

At this time, Lao Li standing at the school gate looked particularly warm, more like a parent than any other child, with all his concern written on his face.

 

“How is it? I heard that English is quite difficult.” Said Lao Li.

 

“It’s OK.” Yin Gu said, “It’s pretty good.”

 

“Me too.” Said Yu Chengsong.

 

“That’s good!” Lao Li looked at them and smiled, “I knew that you two were the first ones in my teaching history who not only did not suffer from the students’ grades but were helped instead.”

 

Yu Chengsong then realized that they were still holding hands, and he was immediately happy: “When did you know that? How come I didn’t notice it?”

 

“It’s just a guess, a small guess.” Lao Li laughed and patted them on the shoulders. “Be careful.”

 

The two looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.

 

During the time they were waiting for the results, they had planned everything. They even made a small list of where to go to relax, what to eat, what to play, and what to watch…

 

As a result, the day finally came. They fell asleep as soon as they lay down and ate as soon as they woke up. They didn’t want to do anything except supervise Yu Chengdi doing his homework at home.

 

Let alone going out to play, it’s too tiring to even go downstairs to pick up a package.

 

Until the morning of the 25th.

 

Even without an alarm clock, Yu Chengsong still opened his eyes at around six o’clock. When he turned to look at Yin Gu, he found that his boyfriend was also awake.

 

“Gu Gu, give me your cell phone.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

Yin Gu stretched out his arm, took the phone, and handed it to him.

 

Yu Chengsong clicked on it and saw that the class group had exploded with people discussing checking grades. He took a look and quickly closed QQ.

 

He had memorized the steps long ago, but he still couldn’t help feeling nervous when he was actually doing them.

 

“Gu Gu, are you panicking?” He looked at Yin Gu.

 

“A little bit.” Yin Gu came closer and put his head close to his. “Send a text message, Lao Li said that the check will be quick this year.”

 

They both have memorized the admission ticket numbers, and now they just need to use their mobile phones to check the numbers.

 

“I’m going to start, boyfriend.” Yin Gu said with his back to him, “I sent it.”

 

“Me too.” Yu Chengsong also turned his back to him.

 

The air was quiet for more than three minutes, and Yin Gu’s cell phone suddenly made a “ding” sound.

 

Yu Chengsong was typing halfway when his cell phone dinged, abruptly interrupting him.

 

“F*ck!” He didn’t know what he was thinking. He was so nervous that he almost threw his phone away, but his fingers still moved with ease and clicked on the text message.

 

His eyes suddenly became blurred, but he was forced to focus as he read silently word by word.

 

Name: Yu Chengsong

 

Candidate number: —

 

Admission ticket number: —

 

Chinese: 139

 

Mathematic: 148

 

English: 142

 

Science: 286

 

Total score: 715

 

His second mock exam was his best result, with a score of 697…

 

“Gu Gu…” Yu Chengsong’s throat trembled, “Gu Gu?”

 

“Hey, I’m here!” Yin Gu turned around and hugged him, “Yes, I’m here.”

 

“How many… do you get?” Yu Chengsong put down the phone and spoke in his throat.

 

“Song Song, it doesn’t matter how many points you get in the exam, I love—” Yin Gu was interrupted halfway through his words.

 

“Don’t talk about that. I love you, too.” Yu Chengsong gritted his teeth. “Tell me your score now.”

 

“715.” Yin Gu said.

 

“How many?” Yu Chengsong turned and glared at him.

 

“Song Song, we—”

 

“Me too! F*ck!!!” Yu Chengsong yelled, threw away his phone, grabbed his collar and kissed him.

 

No words could describe his feelings at this moment. Only by hugging Yin Gu and kissing him hard could he vent the emotions that had been pent up for such a long time.

 

Enough is enough!

 

Last year’s provincial champion only had 709… Damn! That’s enough!

 

Yin Gu was stunned at first, and then he suddenly laughed, not even bothering to respond. His shoulders were shaking from laughing so much that he couldn’t hold his arms tightly against him.

 

“Can you take this first kiss after checking your grades seriously?” Yu Chengsong opened his mouth, but the corners of his mouth were so bright that even the sun couldn’t catch up with them.

 

“I can’t do that anymore.” Yin Gu said with a smile, “I thought you failed the exam. I was scared to death. I was scared to death. Hahahahahaha…”

 

“F*ck, don’t laugh.” Yu Chengsong covered his mouth. Yin Gu’s eyes were curved with laughter. He held on for two seconds but couldn’t hold it in and laughed along, “F”ck, hahahahahahaha…”

 

When Yu Chengdi rushed in, what he saw was his two brothers lying on the bed, laughing like idiots.

 

“……” Scare my brother.

 

How did they do on this test?

 

Yu Chengsong had already recovered a lot when Lao Li called him, but when Lao Li asked him, “How did you two do in the exam?!” His heart started beating wildly again.

 

“Who do you think scored higher between us?” He asked.

 

“I think both of you will do well in the exam!” Lao Li said excitedly, “The other day Zhou Zheyu, that brat, cried to me, but I just called him and found out that his grades are actually pretty good!”

 

“715.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

“What?” Lao Li was stunned. “What five? No, Zhou Zheyu is 468, not 465—how many did you say?!”

 

Yu Chengsong glanced at Yin Gu. Both of them were smiling wickedly. He coughed and pretended to be calm: “We are both the same, 715.”

 

“Beep—”

 

Yu Chengsong was stunned and glanced at his phone, unable to believe it: “Lao Li hung up on me?”

 

“It’s too shocking.” Yin Gu explained for Lao Li, “It’s hard to accept reality for a while.”

 

After a while, Lao Li called again, and Yu Chengsong answered the call.

 

“Teacher just washed my face.” Lao Li asked carefully, his voice hoarse, “How many scores did you and Yin Gu… get?”

 

“715 points.” Yu Chengsong sighed, then laughed again. “Are you calm now?”

 

“Alright!” Lao Li said loudly, “715! Great! You guys are worthy of being the first and second in our grade! Good! Good! Hahahaha!”

 

After the provincial rankings were announced, Yu Chengsong and Yin Gu won the provincial top honors with scores 12 points higher than the second place.

 

That was the first time Yu Chengsong met the governor, the first time he was interviewed, the first time he appeared on TV, and the first time he came out of the closet in front of the TV station holding hands with Yin Gu…

 

This is also the first time that the news report did not put “the provincial champion is very hardworking” in the first place but instead focused on “the two champions are in puppy love but can supervise each other, can the school be more tolerant in dealing with students in puppy love”…

 

On the day of the exam, the class was silent for a few seconds as soon as they entered. Then Jia Manning pointed at them and shouted, “Brother Song! Brother Gu!”

 

“Aiyo!” Yu Chengsong stopped, “Ning Mei’er?”

 

“Don’t move!” Jia Manning rushed over and took out two cans of Wangzai milk from her pocket, putting one in each of their hands. “This is a keepsake! Contact me when you get married and exchange these two cans for money!”

 

“So are we allowed to drink it or not?” Yu Chengsong laughed.

 

“Drink, drink.” Jia Manning smiled and came over to whisper to them, “Don’t leave too soon after school. I have a surprise for you.”

 

“What surprise?” Yin Gu smiled. “So grand?”

 

“It has to be grand. We sisters are grateful for your care over the past year and a half.” Jia Manning patted their shoulders and said casually, “You’re welcome!”

 

“You’re welcome.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

She says they are taking care of them, but in fact, they just come to ask them when they have questions that they don’t understand. They don’t have the habit of keeping secrets and will explain them whenever they are free.

 

The effect of a top student’s patient explanation of a question is sometimes more enlightening than that of a teacher, and it is of great help in the long run.

 

Qian Xiaoyu did well in the exam. His mouth was grinning to the sky. He turned around and chatted with the two of them.

 

“I never thought that I could get 120 points despite the difficulty of English. It’s incredible! I am simply amazed!”

 

“Awesome!” Said Yu Chengsong.

 

“Great!” Yin Gu praised.

 

“Uh…” Qian Xiaoyu touched his head and hesitated for a long time before asking, “Brother Song, Brother Gu, are you two really… together?”

 

“We have been together for 10,000 years already.” Yu Chengsong said, “Don’t be surprised, we are better at acting, and we are more low-key as well.”

 

“Oh, no wonder.” Qian Xiaoyu smiled foolishly, “That’s great, I think you two are a perfect match!”

 

“Thank you.” Yu Chengsong smiled and threw him a piece of candy.

 

When Lao Li came into the classroom, his face was rosy, and he was wearing a shirt, trousers, and a thermos cup as usual. Yu Chengsong looked at him and felt his nose sore for some reason.

 

He didn’t hear much during the conversation. He just saw Lao Li smiling at them again and again and looking forward to their future.

 

He has already discussed the volunteer application with Lao Li. He can fill it out when he gets home today, but I don’t feel excited at all.

 

A faint feeling of separation lingers.

 

“Song Song.” Yin Gu noticed his emotions and gently grabbed his hand, looking at him with soft eyes. “We can come back anytime.”

 

“En.” Yu Chengsong sniffed, slowly came over, and whispered, “Let’s come back to see Lao Li during the holidays, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, weekends…”

 

“Okay.” Yin Gu said, his voice a little hoarse, “Come and see him anytime.”

 

“The school is right here.” Yu Chengsong smiled and poked the table with his finger. “We don’t have a home in Xiyuan City, so the school is our home. We should come back at least twice a year to visit our home.”

 

“Who said we don’t have a home?” Yin Gu put his fingertips against his and moved them. “You, me, and Chengdi, the three of us together, anywhere is home.”

 

“You’re right.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

When school was over, everyone was reluctant to leave. Jia Manning and her group of Omegas had red eyes from crying. They handed him two bags and choked up, “Wu, thank you guys, wuwuwu…”

 

“I don’t know how to coax people anymore.” Yu Chengsong sighed, “Don’t cry, I’ll give you some candy.”

 

“Wuwuwuwu…”

 

At home, Yu Chengsong put the bag in the bedroom and went to apply for college. He was busy until the evening before he had time to open it.

 

Yin Gu sat beside him and watched him dismantle it.

 

He didn’t know what it was, but there were two large boxes with exquisite packaging. He untied the ribbon and opened the lid—

 

Two sets of dazzling skirts lay quietly inside.

 

“I shouldn’t have invited her to eat candy.” Yu Chengsong clicked his tongue.

 

“Ai, you know what? It’s really pretty.” Yin Gu took out a set and asked with a smile, “Would you like to try it?”

 

“Try my ass. Wear it yourself if you want.” Yu Chengsong lay back and looked at him lazily. “Let me appreciate Gu Huahua’s stunning beauty. I’ve been so busy in the past six months that I’m almost like a monk.”

 

“Sure.” Yin Gu gestured on his body, his lips slightly curved, “Don’t regret it.”

 

“Impossible.” Yu Chengsong laughed, “Who are you trying to scare?”
