Chapter 231 - 231 Nervous: Part 1
231 Nervous: Part 1
Although he had planned to go on a graduation trip, he couldn’t go immediately. If he wanted to have some fun, he had to wait for the college entrance examination results to come out and sign up before he could set off.
On the day the results were released, all the members of the Le family stayed in the living room early in the morning. On the other hand, Le Wan slept without any burden and only got up after nine O ‘clock.
When she walked down the stairs yawning, she saw her family sitting in the living room. She looked at the calendar curiously and asked,
“Today is Friday. Why are you sitting here and not going to work?”
Papa Le had nagged at Mama Le the entire night. He said that if Le Wan didn’t get her ideal results, he would be sad and disappointed.
Mama Le had been very nervous at first, but after being nagged by Papa Le so many times that her ears were about to turn into calluses, she wasn’t as nervous anymore. When she heard Le Wan’s words, she looked at her faintly.
“Do you still remember what day it is today?”
Le Wan looked at the calendar again.
“The 20th!” Then, she remembered. “Oh, today is the day the results are announced.”
Brother Le walked over, held Le Wan’s hand, and brought her to the sofa to sit down.
“Baby, it’s 9:46 now. There are still four hours and thirty-four minutes before the results are announced. There’s still a lot of time, so we don’t have to be in a hurry. Are you hungry? Nanny Zhang woke up early this morning to make some bone soup. Now, I’ll make you a bowl of noodles.”
Before Big Brother Le could finish, Little Brother Le suddenly interrupted,
“There’s only four hours and thirty-three minutes left.”
Le Wan was speechless.
“You don’t have to be so precise to the minute, do you?”
“Sister, I paid an online blogger to read your fortune this morning. She’s very smart. I only told her that you’re in your third year of high school this year, and she said that you must be looking for your studies. She even said that you’ll definitely get good grades today. With her words, you’ll definitely get high grades!”
Le Wan was speechless. She knew that today was the day the results of the college entrance examination would be announced, and he said that she was a senior in high school. As a fortune-teller, she could easily guess what he was asking about. It was only natural that she would pick lucky. Such a low-level trick. Only someone as innocent as Little Brother Le would believe that.
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Papa Le and Mama Le glared at him.
“Your sister has been studying hard for her exams. Even if she gets good grades, it’s all her credit. What does it have to do with that fortune-teller?”
Le Wan nodded. “That’s right.”
Papa Le continued to lecture his son.
“A fortune-teller would even lie to a child like you. That’s too immoral. Send me her account number. I want to see what kind of liar she is!”
Le Wan was speechless.
If you had taken out your phone a second slower, I would have believed that your purpose was purely to catch the scammer.
Le Wan raised her hand.
“Actually, I’m really not nervous. I estimated that I would do well this time, so you guys don’t have to be so nervous.”
“Is that so?” Second Brother Le patted her shoulder and smiled warmly. “How many points did you estimate at that time?”
Le Wan pondered for a moment and reported a relatively safe score,
“About 742 points.”
After all, she wasn’t sure if she could hit the marking teacher’s sexual orientation in the two essays. If she didn’t hit the mark, her marks might be deducted more severely, so she reported a few marks lower.
As soon as Le Wan spoke, the entire place fell silent.
“742 points! What was the total score again? Oh, seven hundred and fifty points.”
Papa Le coughed and cleared his throat before he said nonchalantly,
“Baby’s estimated score this time seems to be higher than the mock exam.”
Le Wan nodded.
“I think the exam paper this time is easier than the mock exam.”
Of course, it could also be that she was lucky and could answer all the questions she encountered.
At first, Le Wan thought that Papa Le and the rest wouldn’t be so nervous after she said that. So, she went to find Nanny Zhang and prepared to have a good breakfast. However, she didn’t expect that the moment she left the living room, Papa Le and the rest would become even more worried.
“As expected of my daughter, you’re so ambitious!”
Papa Le complimented her out of habit and then said worriedly,
“Seven hundred and forty-two points. I’ve never gotten such a good score in my mock exam.”
Mama Le also frowned.
“Why did you have to give such a high score? It’s not easy to get this score.”
To be able to get 740 points, she could be ranked in the top few in the province.
