They were looking forward to Shuishui calling them to report the good news. They had seen Shuishui's hard work and character over the past ten days. She was a very good girl and was very sensible. They liked her very much. That was the first time they had seen such a child who was quick to learn and had a high EQ. She was very principled in everything she did. She had even cooked a meal for them once, and it tasted really good.
Shuishui was very good at cooking light food. However, she could not cook big fish and meat. The food she cooked for them was just right for their appetites.
That morning, Shuishui was awakened by a phone call. It was from Mu Zilin, who said, "The results will be released at nine o'clock. It will be nine o'clock in ten minutes. Get ready to see it! I'm so nervous!"
"Ah? I'm still sleeping. There's no need to rush for the results." Shuishui was still comfortable under the blanket. She had not even opened her eyes.
"Get up! Come out. Let's see the results together." Mu Zilin did not want to go alone.
Shuishui yawned. "Then come to my house. Come to my house so we will see it together."
"All right, all right. I'm leaving now. Hurry up and get ready!" Mu Zilin left in a hurry.
Shuishui helplessly got out of bed. She quickly washed up and changed into casual clothes. It was Friday. For ordinary students, it was still a class day, but they were flooded with notifications on WeChat Moments.
Shuishui went downstairs and saw the nanny cleaning up. The nanny saw Shuishui and asked, "Do you want some porridge?"
"Not now. I don't really feel like eating right now." Shuishui rejected the nanny's offer. She poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Shuishui quickly went to open the door and saw Mu Zilin panting. "Hey, it feels pretty good."
"How is it not good? Give me some water." Mu Zilin snatched Shuishui's glass and drank the warm water. "It feels good! At least you're sensible. You even prepared some water for me."
Shuishui's lips twitched. She drank it herself and did not intend to prepare anything for him. However, he drank it anyway. "It's already nine thirty. Go to my room. I've turned on the computer."
"En, en." Mu Zilin was very nervous!
They then went upstairs. The nanny saw that Zilin was a handsome young man, but she did not dare to say anything. Some things were beyond her control.
They were already in Shuishui's room. It was the first time Mu Zilin had been to Shuishui's room. He had not been allowed to enter before.
After entering, he was disappointed. It was clean and tidy. He did not feel anything else.
Shuishui patted his head. "Don't look around. Come and type in your student ID and password. It's not good for your grades."
"Okay."
Mu Zilin realized that something was wrong. "Should I go first?"
"That's right." Shuishui nodded. When she saw his frightened look, she said, "Anyway, our grades will not change a single bit whether we check now or later."
"All right then."
Mu Zilin typed in and closed his eyes. "I won't look anymore. Let me know if you see it."
He covered his eyes with both hands, and he looked very nervous.
Shuishui looked at the results. "Look. There's a surprise."
"What surprise? Just tell me—is it good news or bad news?" Mu Zilin still didn't dare to look.
"Good news." Shuishui looked at him and thought that he was so cute.
Mu Zilin slowly opened his eyes and saw that the score was exactly 600 points. "Oh my god . . . Oh my god . . . Did I get this?
"Quick, quick, let's see your score." The total score was 900 points. Although she did not know how to convert it, 600 points was enough for her to enter a key high school.
"Okay." Shuishui entered her exam number and password and stared at the computer without blinking.
The moment the score came out, Mu Zilin's heart almost jumped out. "Wow! Oh my god . . . 755 points? Oh my god. Am I seeing things?"
"No. I didn't do well in Chinese and history." Shuishui looked at the grade and did not care.
"All right. Let me check the scores of the first and third high schools!" Shuishui felt that this was the most important point. She felt that it would be a little strange if Mu Zilin's score would get him to these two high schools. She had previously seen that his score was more than 620 points.
"En en, quickly take a look." Mu Zilin stood behind Shuishui and stared at the computer.
Shuishui checked, and very quickly, the page appeared. This year's admission score had generally decreased, and it was said that this year's physics, chemistry, and mathematics were more difficult than in the previous years.
The first high school required 622 points to enter, but the third high school only required 600 points. Seeing this, Mu Zilin was very happy. "We can go to the third high school!"
Mu Zilin suddenly thought, 'Would the first high school be better for Shuishui?'
But at that point, Shuishui nodded and said, "Then let's go to the third high school."
"Can we? " Mu Zilin was not sure.
"Of course. The third high school is also a key high school. It's not much worse than the first high school." Shuishui nodded and smiled.
"Haha! We have to tell everyone this good news! No one will believe it!" Mu Zilin was really excited. Once again, he confirmed his score of 600. "This time, it was all thanks to your guessing. I wrote the math and physics very smoothly because I was very familiar with them."
"This is the result of your own hard work." Shuishui was also very happy. He really worked hard and did what he said he would.
Shuishui was very calm and was still eating the chocolate bar. When Mu Zilin looked over, Shuishui even handed it to him. "Do you want to eat it? It's strawberry-flavored."
"I'm not eating it. I'm too excited! Let me make a call first!" Mu Zilin's hand was trembling as he took out his phone.
Mu Zilin called his parents. "Hello, Dad. The results are out."
Mu Zilin's tone was very downcast. In fact, it was intentional. Mu Zilin's father thought that Mu Zilin did not do well in the exam and was still consoling him. "It's okay. It's just a middle school exam. You still have a chance to take the college entrance exam! Dad was forcing you before for your own good. Even if you didn't pass, it's okay."
"No, Dad, I scored 600 points—just enough to reach the score for the third high school!" His voice suddenly raised another octave.
His father jumped up from his chair in fright. "What? Say that again?"
Shuishui gave Mu Zilin a bottle of yogurt. Mu Zilin opened it and began to drink it. Then, he repeated, "I got 600 points. I just happened to reach the mark for third high school!"
"My son, did you cheat? Tell me the truth!" Mu Zilin's father was a little angry.
Mu Zilin quickly explained, "How could we cheat? I really worked hard for three months this time. And if I cheated, I would have been caught long ago. There are cameras inside—front and back. There was a teacher in the classroom, and then there were a few teachers patrolling the corridor. How could I dare? And Shuishui got 755 points."
His family knew who Shuishui was. After all, he often talked about her.
His father calmed down. "Tonight, Dad is treating. Ask Shuishui to give me her father's phone number. I'll invite him. I heard from your brother that because Shuishui, that child, had to focus on her exams, she had started to study hard. You should follow her. It seems that it's effective."
"Okay. I'm at Shuishui's house now. She's beside me. Write it down. I'll ask Shuishui to give me the phone number." Mu Zilin looked at Shuishui. "Shuishui, give me your father's phone number. I'll read it to my father."
"Oh?" Although Shuishui didn't understand, she still took out her phone and found her dad's number for him to see.
He immediately relayed it to his dad.
Shuishui felt that it was just a high school entrance exam and she didn't think there was any problem. She could ask about it later.
