Tang Yuan had just returned to Ling Jue's shoulder when there was a knock on the door. "Ling Jue, dad is back. He wants you to leave."
Ling Xiao's voice came from outside. He had just finished speaking when he ran away. The sound of running could be heard from the corridor.
"Lord Jue, why are they looking for you?" Tang Yuan went into her shirt pocket and revealed a small head. Its big eyes looked at her in confusion.
Ling Jue caught it and said, "This is not a place for you to squat."
"Stingy, I can't rub my chest... Ouch..."
Ling Jue threw it on the bed again. It bounced around like a small rubber ball and came back. This time, it obediently squatted on her shoulder. "Lord Jue, tell me quickly. What are they calling you for?"
"You'll know once you go and take a look. It should be about the results." Ling Jue washed her hands, closed the door, and walked out.
"Is it because you didn't do well in the exam? That Ling Zhensheng looks so fierce. He wouldn't hit anyone, would he?"
"He can't beat me."
"Oh..."
Tang Yuan laid lazily on her shoulder. "Lord Jue, you don't even have any meat. It's so painful to lie down."
"If you say any more, I'll throw you into boiling water."
"..." Tang Yuan shut its mouth, feeling wronged.
When Ling Jue went downstairs, Ling Zhensheng, Mu Xueling, Ling Sheng, Ling Ying, and Ling Xiao were all sitting on the sofa.
There was also a middle-aged man in a suit. She did not recognize him.
"Xiao Jue, come here quickly." Ling Zhensheng's entire body emitted a proud glow, and his voice became much gentler.
Ling Jue moved her feet and sat down on the Sofa at the side.
Ling Zhensheng introduced her, "Xiao Jue, this is the vice principal of Molk Academy. You can call him Teacher Song."
"Hey, don't call him Teacher Song. We're not in school. Just call me Uncle Song." He waved his hand and smiled. He gave off an amiable feeling. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very knowledgeable.
Ling Jue raised her eyebrows. Molk's...
"Ling Jue, your father and I are old classmates. I didn't expect to be your teacher. It's my honor too. The thing is, I came here today to give you your admission notice." He looked at Ling Jue excitedly. He handed the envelope in his hand to him.
"Oh." Ling Jue nodded.
"Xiao Jue, you didn't disappoint father this time. You actually got first place in the entire province in the written exam. Father is very honored." Ling Zhensheng had a smile on his face. It was as if he was floating in the air.
"First place in the entire province?" Ling Jue raised her eyebrows. That sounded very impressive.
"Yes, in the written exam," Song Yuecheng continued, "but there was a classmate who got a full score in sports. Although he lost 18 points in the written exam, his total score was only 554, which was one point higher than yours. Therefore, he got first place in the entire province in the total score, and you were second."
"..."
Ling Jue raised her eyebrows slightly. In that case, he was one point higher in first place.
"Xiao Jue, don't be disappointed. After all, that kid grew up in the courtyard. His body is strong. Other than sports, he is not better than you."
Ling Zhensheng comforted her. In fact, he knew that Ling Jue did not do well in sports because of her body.
Ling Jue nodded. She thought that her results were not that good, but she actually got the second place in the city.
Then, she was a little unconvinced. She would either not do anything or do the best she could.
She thought that if she did not do well, then forget it.
Who knew that she got the second place. And she was one point away from the first place!
Her eyes dimmed. The kid who got the first place...
