There were as many provinces in the country as there were college entrance examination top students.
Although Li Zixia and Xue Xi were both from the south, Li Zixia was closer to the south and was still a distance away from Xue Xi, who was in the provincial capital for the college entrance examination.
Hence, Li Zixia only knew that she was the top scorer in her province and did not pay attention to other provinces. After all, if she were to pay attention to all of them, she would have to pay attention to about 30!
Moreover, Xue Xi was a low-profile person. After the college entrance examination, other than going back to school to take a photo, she did not accept any reporters' interview. Hence, everyone only knew that she had a perfect score this year and shocked the entire country, but they did not know who she was.
