Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ning Qing and the others got out of the car.

Today, the parking spaces of the Yun Ding Hotel were almost full.

Ning Qing led the two towards the gate.

Qin Yu took out her phone and glanced at it. Squinting, she put it away after seeing that Xu Yaoguang had yet to reply to her invitation.

It was already six o’clock in the evening, but since it was summer, the sun had yet to completely set, and the street lights were still not turned on.

But the writings on the screen above the hotel entrance were still very obvious.

Glancing up, Qin Yu just happened to see the congratulatory greeting of their room: [Warmest congratulations to Qin Yu for getting a high score of 649 in the college entrance examinations!]

After only one glance, she looked away nonchalantly.

Lin Wan took out her phone and took a photo of it to post on her circle of friends. Then, she turned to Qin Yu and said, “Let’s go.”

They took the lead and walked two steps forward, but when they arrived at the gate, Ning Qing wasn’t with them.

Qin Yu looked back in surprise. Standing at the gate, Ning Qing was looking up at the congratulatory messages on the screen with widened eyes.

“Mom?” Qin Yu exchanged glances with Lin Wan, both surprised. She took a step forward to see what it was. “What did you see?”

She walked up to Ning Qing and followed her gaze.

The carousel on the screen was not over yet, and the congratulatory greeting message was clearly displayed: [Our hotel and all the staff warmly congratulate Qin Ran for winning Province Y’s Top Scorer with a high score of 747 in the college entrance examinations!]

Qin Yu hadn’t paid attention to who the top scorer of the college entrance examination was. She thought it was either Xu Yaoguang or Pan Mingyue, both of whom she wasn’t very concerned about.

But what was displayed on the screen now?

Qin Ran was the provincial top scorer with a high score of 747? This was Qin Ran?! How was it possible?

Qin Yu’s mind was boggled and she let her imagination run wild. It was just the same name, it must be the same name...

This year’s paper was so difficult, how could Qin Ran score 747? Qin Yu wondered if she was in a dream now.

Her score of 649 was already highly-bragged about by the Lin family. The higher the score, the bigger the gap. There was only a gap of 98 points between 747 and 649, but it basically meant they were worlds apart...

Speechless, Ning Qing only took out her phone and entered Heng Chuan First Middle School’s official website.

She was so shocked that her fingers trembled a little, and after several clicks, she finally entered the official webpage.

The first news page that popped up on the official website was the college entrance examination page.

Both provincial first- and second-place were from Heng Chuan First Middle School!

Ning Qing stared with widened eyes at the phone. The first place was Qin Ran, from class 3.9 of Heng Chuan First Middle School...

She could almost clearly hear the thumping of her heart as it beat extremely fast, almost jumping out of her chest.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Qi arrived a little later due to his work and didn’t expect the three of them to still be standing at the hotel gate.

Ning Qing’s ears were roaring and she couldn’t hear any sound from the outside world. She just stared at her phone blankly, not responding to him.

Lin Qi was puzzled by her lack of response.

The congratulatory message on the screen had already jumped to the next person, so Lin Qi hadn’t seen it.

But he noticed the phone in Ning Qing’s hand.

Hence, he looked down at it, and his usually gentle face split instantly. “This- this is Ran Ran?”

**

Because of Qin Ran’s college entrance examination results, the Lin family was in a daze.

Qin Ran and the others were naturally unaware.

“These youngsters are really energetic.” Opposite, Old Master Cheng walked out after finally seeing the youngsters leave. Usually, he would already have fallen asleep at this late timing, but today, he was still full of energy.

Those in the small room were basically old and had left at ten o’clock. Old Master Cheng had stayed behind to chat with Cheng Juan and the others.

“When did you know the Xu family so well?” He sat down on the sofa and glanced at Cheng Juan energetically, holding a cup of medicinal tea in his hands.

Unlike his good posture, Cheng Juan was leaning lazily against the sofa, feeling slightly sleepy. “I’m not very close to them.”

But he was sober after hearing this question.

Standing up, he straightened his sleeves and then said calmly, “I’ll go over to the other side.”

Old Master Cheng nodded. Once Cheng Juan left, he turned to glance at Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu calmly explained, “Old Master, Elder Xu is very familiar to Miss Qin.”

Trembling slightly while holding the teacup, Old Master Cheng narrowed his eyes majestically. “You didn’t tell me that at first.”

Cheng Mu: “... I only found out later.”

Old Master Cheng slammed the teacup on the table. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“... But you didn’t ask me again,” Cheng Mu said stiffly.

Old Master Cheng was speechless.

Lu Zhaoying, sitting beside Old Master Cheng, almost applauded Cheng Mu. This Cheng Mu dared to refute Elder Cheng??

Old Master Cheng glanced coldly at Cheng Mu.

Then he fell deep in thought.

His line of thought was different from Lu Zhaoying, Cheng Mu, and the others. Principal Xu hadn’t been in Beijing these past two years, so he and the others had been puzzled by his behavior. historical

But now, Cheng Mu said that Qin Ran knew Principal Xu...

Picking up the teacup again, a thought slowly emerged in Old Master Cheng’s heart...

He couldn’t help but look in the opposite direction.

“Old Master, the tea is cold. Should I get a new cup for you?” Butler Cheng reached out for Old Master Cheng’s teacup.

“No.” Old Master Cheng shook his head, exhaling deeply. “This temperature is just right.”

The dinner on the top floor lasted until midnight.

This was probably the first time after graduation that everyone gathered. Everyone had gone their separate ways, and in reality, it was too difficult for them to find time to gather. Hence, class 3.9 lingered and didn’t leave.

They stayed until one o’clock in the morning. Butler Cheng found a few drivers and sent them back one by one.

The nation’s scores had all been released.

Qin Ran’s scores were well-deserving of the first place, and Xu Yaoguang also followed closely behind in second place. The fact that the first- and second-place of the national examinations appeared in Yun Cheng, Y Province, attracted much attention from the media. A wave of coverage happened even on Weibo.

The next day after the release, reporters flocked to Yun Cheng.

Heng Chuan First Middle School called Qin Ran’s cell phone from time to time.

Several of the calls were from Gao Yang and the Dean, so even though Qin Ran didn’t block the number, she was still quite annoyed.

At the Beijing airport, Master Wei got off the plane and directly called Qin Ran.

Due to his performance, he couldn’t attend her college entrance banquet, but he had called to congratulate her beforehand.

After returning to China, he called her eagerly.

“When are you coming to the Beijing Association?” Master Wei handed his luggage to the person beside him and asked in a calm tone, “Soon? Or awhile later?”

Qin Ran had just gotten up. Her head ached as she held a toothbrush and her phone in each hand. “Tomorrow. I’ll go over tomorrow.”

It was really annoying. People were getting in at every opening every day.

She felt like Beijing was really a refuge for her at this time.

At first, she planned to return to Ninghai Town, but thinking about it, she put down her toothbrush and guessed that Ninghai Town must have already hung up banners.

Master Wei’s eyes lit up and his voice rose a few degrees. “Okay, okay, I’ll get ready quickly!”

He hung up and began planning.

The apprenticeship banquet must be pushed up the itinerary, and the new members of the association this year must be re-drawn.

As for the systematic study of Qin Ran’s violin, Master Wei had already planned it out several years ago.

He laid the groundwork in his heart.

The National Violin Association’s assistant leading the way with the luggage was a little surprised to see Master Wei’s expression. Master Wei was a profound figure on the altar of the violin industry and it was rare to see him so happy. What happy event could have happened?

In Yun Cheng.

Qin Ran washed her face and changed her clothes before going downstairs.

Downstairs, Butler Cheng dutifully held a travel guide while explaining to Old Master Cheng, who held a cup of tea and listened faintly to the different scenic spots. “Old Master, we’ll go to a celebrity’s former residence tomorrow. That’s a developmental scenic area...”

Old Master Cheng said “Oh” wanly and continued, “I know that place, the scenery is very good.”

Butler Cheng glanced at him and didn’t answer.

Cheng Juan returned from his morning run at the same time.

He went up and changed into a white shirt. At the same time, the servant prepared breakfast for him and Qin Ran.

“I’m going to Beijing tomorrow.” Qin Ran sipped on milk and suddenly thought of this. She sat upright and glanced at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan knew that Master Wei was coming back today and wasn’t surprised. He simply asked Cheng Mu to prepare the ticket.

Their conversation dropped a bomb on Old Master Cheng.

He was shocked. “You’re going to Beijing tomorrow? All of a sudden? Why?
