Chapter 32: Early Exam

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The more Xiao Bai studied, the more he realized that his knowledge was shallow.

From the teachers at the night school, he learned that after students finished their studies and got their diplomas, they had to choose a major and continue studying if they wanted to advance further.

The sea of knowledge was boundless. He was just waiting to climb to the peak!

But he hesitated.

How much time would it take for him to continue learning?

Now that he was anxious to succeed, he hoped that he would be qualified to stand by Sister Lan’s side as soon as possible.

Lan Shu quickly noticed Xiao Bai’s hesitant and troubled expression.

During lunch this afternoon, Lan Shu specially fried an egg for Xiao Bai and placed it in a bowl.

The two of them sat opposite each other at a small table under the eaves outside the house. Lan Shu was the first to speak.

“Is something bothering you lately?”

Xiao Bai remained silent and did not reply.

“Is it because the things taught in school are too difficult to understand?” Lan Shu asked again.

Hearing Sister Lan doubting his ability, Xiao Bai got up and returned to his room.

Lan Shu was stunned. Was Xiao Bai angry?

Soon, she knew that she was wrong.

Xiao Bai took out a few exercise books from his room and handed them to her.

After flipping through a few pages, Lan Shu’s hands paused, and she was shocked!

Xiao Bai had actually finished learning all the content in the textbooks!

Therefore, the reason why he was worried was not because he did not understand what was being taught but because he did not know what else to learn after learning all of it.

Lan Shu had thought that since she had already gone to university, it would not be difficult for her to go to university again in another era.

However, before she could finish flipping through the textbooks, Xiao Bai had already mastered the knowledge.

Before Xiao Bai lost his memory, he must have been a top student with outstanding grades!

Now that she knew the reason why Xiao Bai was worried, things would be easier in the future.

Lan Shu looked up at Xiao Bai and asked seriously, “Are you interested in furthering your studies?”

Upon being asked this question, Xiao Bai was stunned.

Did Sister Lan… want him to continue learning?

Although the fact that Sister Lan was willing to provide for his schooling made Xiao Bai feel warm in his heart, it did not make him decide to continue learning.

He had even thought of looking for a job in the paper mill after he got his diploma and qualifications.

With a job, he could earn money and help Sister Lan share the burden.

“You don’t want to?” Lan Shu’s voice suddenly interrupted Xiao Bai’s plans for the future.

Then, Xiao Bai saw Sister Lan sigh regretfully.

“In the future, in order for the country to develop further, there’ll be a strong demand for professional and cutting-edge talents. With such good talent, it would be a pity if you don’t continue your studies…”

National development… Cutting-edge talents…

Xiao Bai was stunned by Sister Lan’s words.

In Sister Lan’s heart, could he be a top talent who could contribute to the country’s development in the future?

Xiao Bai never knew that Sister Lan had such high hopes for him!

At this moment, he suddenly had a thought. He did not want to disappoint Sister Lan.

“Do you want me to continue studying?” Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and asked seriously.

Lan Shu was slightly stunned.

Then, she shook her head gently. “Whether or not I want you to continue studying is not important. What’s important is if you want to.

“Studying is a personal choice. It’s your own preference. If you like it, you’ll have enough passion and motivation to break through all the obstacles on this path.”

Lan Shu’s words made Xiao Bai fall silent.

Hobbies, passion, and motivation?

He had never thought about all these before.

Or rather, he did not have the chance to think about this in the past.

Although he had not recovered much of his memories, he vaguely remembered that other than his brother wanting him to do business, his parents seemed to have other expectations for him.

And no one cared about what he wanted. No one tried to know what he thought.

But now, Sister Lan was asking him what he wanted to do.

Of course, there were disciplines that he was interested in and could make him motivated.

But other than that, Sister Lan’s expectations were equally important to him.

“I want to study pharmacology.”

He did not forget what Sister Lan had just said. In order to develop in the future, the country needed professional and cutting-edge talents.

If he had to choose, his subconscious instinct would be to choose pharmacology.

Lan Shu nodded when she heard the certainty in Xiao Bai’s tone.

She did not ask Xiao Bai why he chose this field. She only said one word softly…

“Okay.”

No matter what industry or field Xiao Bai was interested in, she would let him further his studies.

To her, Xiao Bai was just a stranger whom she had met by chance and who her family took in.

But now, they had been together for a long time, so they naturally had feelings for each other.

Xiao Bai’s loss of memories reminded Lan Shu of her past self. She had suddenly come to this era and had no one to rely on…

Lan Shu felt that she had already treated Xiao Bai as a family member who was even more important than a friend.

…

At night, as usual, Xiao Bai rode his bicycle and brought Lan Shu to night school.

It was almost seven o’clock, and the streetlights on both sides of the school path had already lit up.

Xiao Bai parked the bicycle downstairs and locked it. The two of them went upstairs and went straight to the teachers’ office.

It was already the end of October. Every year at the beginning of December, there would be a unified graduation examination.

Other than Xiao Bai, who wanted to take the exam in advance, Lan Shu also planned to get her diploma before the end of the year.

The two students who had only signed up for less than a week suddenly ran over to say that they wanted to graduate this year. In the office, other than Teacher Song, who was responsible for teaching their class, the teachers of the other classes also looked over.

“It’s not easy to study! Who on earth can graduate without having to study hard for two years? You’ve only studied for a few days and you already want to take the exam? You’re underestimating things!”

Teacher Song was very angry. He had never seen such arrogant students.

Moreover, it wasn’t just one student but two of them!

Teacher Song had a deep impression of these two students.

For the past few days, although the two of them came to class on time every night, they would be extremely distracted during class!

While he was talking about a question, the two of them were flipping through the textbook.

These students did not have a good learning attitude. Teacher Song was worried that they would not be able to graduate successfully even after two years.

Now, they were actually planning to take the exam this year and graduate early?!

Lan Shu knew that no one would believe that someone could finish two years of lessons in just a few days.

Although she indeed could not do it, there was still a month before the graduation examination.

With her foundation, a month was enough for her to learn the contents of the textbooks.

Hence, Lan Shu had to explain herself in the face of Teacher Song’s criticism.

However, Xiao Bai, who was at the side, was the first to speak…

“Teacher Song, studying isn’t difficult. A few days is enough.”

Lan Shu: “?”

Teacher Song: “???”
