As the college entrance examination approached, Lin Feng gradually shifted his focus to studying. After all, despite his superior mory, he did not want to make any mistakes in such an important exam. He still wanted to prove himself to his parents, teachers, and classmates.
So, for the next half month or so, Lin Feng barely went out. He stayed either in the classroom or his place, calmly studying and quietly awaiting the arrival of the college entrance examination.
At the beginning of June, as scheduled, ca the annual college entrance examination.
In the days leading up to the exam, there were essentially no classes for seniors.
In the classrooms, teachers and students alike were giving farewell speeches and encouraging each other, which made Lin Feng sowhat emotional.
So students even bought autograph books and had the other students in class write goodbye ssages in them as keepsakes for the future.
Of course, this was usually sothing done by the girls in the class, or so more effeminate boys. As a manly guy, Lin Feng found the whole thing rather boring.
Unfortunately, as there were only eleven boys in a class of over forty students, Lin Feng ended up signing so many autograph books and writing so many farewell ssages that his hand ached.
Previously, many students might not have asked him to sign anything. However, Lin Feng’s academic performance had since skyrocketed, placing him at the top of the class. Coupled with the incident where he beat ng Zelong and the rumors of him dating the campus beauty Ning Aoxue, his popularity had soared. He felt like a star, signing autographs until his hand ached.
At first, Lin Feng was diligent in writing these ssages. Later, he simply standardized the format. After signing the boys’ autograph books, for the girls’ ssages, he would uniformly write at the end, "You’ll be very happy in the future," followed by a mischievous smirk.
On the last day seniors were in school, songs like "My Deskmate" and "Wishing You a Smooth Journey" were played over the campus speakers, causing the seniors to beco anxious and many of the girls to tear up.
As Lin Feng sat in his classroom, he suddenly realized that Fatty was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for quite so ti, he finally saw Fatty stumble into the room, covering his face, tears streaming down.
"Boss, I got hit," Fatty cried.
"Damn! Who the hell hit my guy? Co on, let’s go get him!"
"No need... I wish she would hit again," Fatty continued.
"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned.
As it turned out, Fatty had a crush on a very quiet girl from the neighboring class. Knowing that they would soon graduate and he might never see her again, after much hesitation, Fatty finally mustered the courage to call her over and confess his feelings.
"We often ran into each other in the cafeteria," Fatty said. "I called her over and just said, ’Lin Lin, I like you’..."
"And then?" asked Lin Feng.
"Then she slapped ."
"Huh?"
"After slapping , she pinched and said, crying, ’Why didn’t you say it earlier? I hate you! My family has already emigrated, and I have to go abroad to study...’ Sob... Boss, why am I so unlucky? She said she had feelings for too. If this were freshman year, she would have said yes. But now she’s about to leave the country..."
Fatty was a ss of snot and tears. Lin Feng had to play the role of his mom, coaxing and comforting him until he finally cald down.
"When you were born, I was not. When I was born, you were already dead." How maddening!
You loved , but I didn’t know. I loved you, but you didn’t know. Only when we missed our chance did we both realize it. Damn it! Life can be such a pain in the ass sotis.
Sohow, at this mont, Lin Feng pictured the reserved and delicate figure of Tang Rou. She’s also going abroad, isn’t she? he thought.
"Now I’m going to play a ssage for everyone. This is a ssage from a good friend of mine. She told a while ago that she really, really likes a boy, but the boy doesn’t like her. She is also afraid to confess her feelings because she is going abroad..."
"So, she found to help her during my last ti hosting the campus broadcast. Here’s her ssage to that boy. I hope that boy can hear it."
"You are always joking around; your sunny smile, from middle school when you helped fend off the classmates who bullied , has been deeply imprinted in my mind. I had thought, in high school, that I wouldn’t fall in love, so I wouldn’t be distracted from studying. However, when it cos to liking soone, it’s not sothing you can control..."
"I want to forget you, but I can’t. I try to get close to you, but I don’t know what to say. I always want to see you, whenever possible; only then does my heart feel at peace. I’m leaving, going abroad. I will always rember every day we spent together—Zhizi Mountain, the teor shower, ’holding your hand, to grow old together’... It’s a pity I can’t grow old with you. I wish for you to find a girl you like and be happy forever. I also hope our friendship will last... Take care, Lin Feng!"
When the female host finished reading that ssage, the entire school was in an uproar because it was against school rules to read these kinds of ssages. However, the host was a senior too, and it was too late to penalize her.
Upon hearing that ssage, Lin Feng was taken aback. He knew very well who the ssage was from.
anwhile, in another academic building, Ning Aoxue, who was packing her things with Su Zi, paused when she heard Lin Feng’s na at the end of the ssage. Lin Feng has a secret admirer? she thought. Who would possibly like that lecherous, despicable guy?
Cao Ying, in her office in the administrative building, also tensed up when she heard the ssage. She pursed her lips, a wry smile touching her face. Shaking her head, she murmured to herself, "That annoying... yet endearing guy. So, a girl really does like him? Heh, he’s quite the catch, isn’t he?"
"Boss, who is it? Who’s crushing on you? Why is there no signature?" Fatty, who was still sniffling, suddenly perked up when he heard Lin Feng’s na. "That’s not logical, Boss! Are you having a clandestine love affair and keeping it from ?"
Lin Feng ignored him and quickly turned his gaze to a certain spot in the front rows of the classroom. That spot was now empty; the person who previously occupied it was gone.
He stepped out of the classroom and made a call. An automated voice inford him that the phone was switched off.
Standing on the corridor outside the classroom, Lin Feng stared blankly for a mont before a wry smile touched his lips.
Is this what adolescence is like? Damn, all my own youth left with was acne...
After a few days of rest, Lin Feng returned to school, which now served as a college entrance examination site.
There were dozens of exam sites across the city, and Lin Feng was lucky enough to be randomly assigned to his own school.
At the school gate, he looked up at the bright sky before lowering his head and walking into the examination site.
The decisive mont was here. The college entrance examination that would determine one’s fate had begun...
