Chapter 628: Rejected Fast Track

That night, as Gu Yang prepared to retire to bed, she received a message from Xiao Yize.
Xiao Yize: [Sister, I heard someone bullied you today?]
Upon reading this, Gu Yang arched an eyebrow. Knowing her sister’s character, even if she held disdain for Ye Qingzi, she wouldn’t turn to Xiao Yize for complaint. Thus, it must have been Ye Qingzi who reached out first.
Considering Ye Qingzi’s penchant for stirring trouble, any repercussions she faced were likely deserved. If she did complain to Xiao Yize, she wouldn’t be forthcoming with the truth.
Gu Yang didn’t need to speculate to foresee how Ye Qingzi would twist the facts to vilify her sister!
Though she trusted Xiao Yize to stand by her sister’s side, she felt it necessary to ensure he knew the truth to prevent misunderstandings.
Gu Yang promptly divulged the entire incident to Xiao Yize.
Gu Yang: [Xiao Yize, do you have a close relationship with her?]
Xiao Yize: [I’m not acquainted with her. Sister, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help resolving any issues with her. Just give me a call.]
Xiao Yize: [By the way, how is your sister feeling? Is she upset?]
Taking advantage of the conversation, Xiao Yize subtly probed Gu Yang for information about Gu Jin.
He wanted to approach Gu Jin directly, but he knew she had a short fuse. He didn’t want to risk upsetting her by being too forward.
Meanwhile, in the latter half of their third year in high school, exams were a regular occurrence. Mock exams were scheduled every two weeks, leaving little time for respite.
In addition to the mock exams, the results of the mathematics competition involving Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue were also announced. All three secured top honors nationwide.
This mathematics competition held significant weight, guaranteeing the top prize winners admission into prestigious universities like Capital University and Hua University for their mathematics programs.
In the past, it was rare for anyone from No.1 Middle School to win the first prize. The emergence of three first prize winners simultaneously was unprecedented, bringing immense joy to the school leaders.
The principal held a meeting with the trio privately, inquiring whether they wished to apply for direct admission to universities.
Gu Jin found the process cumbersome and promptly declined the offer.
Opting for direct admission meant bypassing the college entrance examination, effectively forfeiting their chance to apply through the regular route.
Gu Yang, not inclined towards a mathematics major, chose to spend her entire third year of high school with her friends instead, declining the offer.
Naturally, Feng Jue followed suit, aligning himself with Gu Yang’s decision.
Upon returning to the classroom, their friends swarmed around Gu Yang, brimming with curiosity.
“How did it go, Yangyang? Where do you plan to go?”
The other students in the class cast curious glances their way.
Gu Yang and her companions were firmly entrenched in the top five of their cohort. If they opted for direct admission, it would mean fewer formidable contenders for others in the college entrance examination.
“We’re sticking to the traditional route, so we’ll be taking the college entrance exam alongside you all,” Gu Yang stated with a smile.
Lu Mao was taken aback. “But this is such a golden opportunity, Goddess. You should reconsider.”
Lu Mao had also advanced to the finals of the Mathematics Competition, vying for a spot through the fast track.
However, he had only clinched a third prize, narrowly missing out on the opportunity.
Mo Mo chimed in, “Yeah, Yangyang, if you apply for direct admission, you can still take the college entrance exam with us.”
Zhu Di added soberly, “We can joke around, but our future isn’t something to take lightly.”
Her friends were touched and anxious, fearing that Gu Yang and the others might relinquish their valuable recommendation spots in a fit of anger.
Gu Yang couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated. Glancing at Gu Jin and Feng Jue beside her, she addressed her friends seriously, “Don’t worry, we’re committed to our decision. Besides, we have no intention of pursuing mathematics.”
The other top students in the class, who had been listening attentively while answering questions, fell into a puzzled silence.
Such were the disparities in this world.
