Chapter 674: Chapter 674

After the results of the Gaokao were released, but before the various universities had published their admission scores, students began to fill out their university applications.

On the day of choosing their universities, students from every class returned to school together.

When the classmates gathered, their endless discussions revolved around nothing but scores and universities!

And on that day, the entire student body knew that Pu Sangzhi had scored 734 points!

Because the rankings of the top 100 scorers in Zhejiang Province were released, and Pu Sangzhi was ranked first in the province, truly a Gaokao scholar!

For Longxiang High School to have a provincial top scorer was an unprecedented event since its founding!

Thus, on the day Pu Sangzhi returned to school to select her university preferences, the school leaders came to their class and formally praised her.

Of course, the school leaders also visited Class 7 to specifically encourage and care for Huo Feng, because his Gaokao score was also outstanding!

It could be said that this year, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng greatly elevated the academic standing of Longxiang School’s students!

Together with Pu Sangzhi, some of these outstanding students’ scores exceeded last year’s admission score for Zhejiang University.

But there were also those who just passed the first tier cutoff score.

Overall, the quality varied greatly, and the rankings were mixed.

Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, and Pu Sangzhi gathered together to fill out their university preferences.

Zhu Dandan, who scored 668 points in the Gaokao, decisively filled in Zhejiang University as her first preference, followed by another university as her second choice...

At that moment, Zhu Dandan was immensely grateful for the grace of breaking up with Wang Chao back then!

It was precisely because of the breakup that, in order not to wallow in sadness, Zhu Dandan studied extremely hard during the final year!

She spent each day coming up with ways to ask Pu Sangzhi questions, obtaining essential notes from her, and finally, her Gaokao score did not disappoint!

Wen Miao’s Gaokao score was only 645, far from enough for Zhejiang University, but there was still a chance for Xiamen University, and her status as a sports-specialty student could hopefully give her some advantage.

Wen Miao was satisfied with herself.

However, Wen Miao also included the PLA University of Science and Technology on her list of preferences.

Originally, Wen Miao’s ambition when entering high school was to attend a military academy, but there had been an accident involving sulfuric acid which left scars on her neck, and it was uncertain if she would still qualify.

Therefore, Wen Miao only listed this university as her second preference, filling it in with a stroke of hopeful luck.

Sitting beside her, Zhu Dandan saw her writing down the military academy and exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Miao, you want to join the military!"

This statement also caught Pu Sangzhi’s attention, who couldn’t help but look over, "Wen Miao, how did you think of joining the military?"

"People like me, who have better physical than intellectual skills, are well suited to the military," Wen Miao responded.

After saying this, she sighed, "But I don’t know if I qualify now, since I’ve heard that female recruits cannot have any scars. I have this scar on my neck. It’s all about trying my luck. It would be great if I get in, but there can’t be any regrets if I don’t."

Pu Sangzhi looked at the scar on her neck and felt deeply saddened.

Because the scar on her neck was inextricably related to an incident involving Pu Sangzhi...

Knowing what Pu Sangzhi wanted to say, Wen Miao patted her shoulder, saying, "You don’t need to feel sorry. It’s just a backup option. I’ll just apply and see what happens—getting in or not doesn’t really matter."

"Ah, we three really are going to part ways..."

Zhu Dandan lamented, "Three completely different universities, and we won’t be able to meet often."

"Then we can plan to meet up during winter or summer breaks," Wen Miao smiled, "If Sangzhi is too busy, we two could go to Tsinghua to visit Sangzhi.

We can also check out Beijing and have a small trip."

Zhu Dandan nodded, "That’s a great idea! We must gather more often in the future; we can’t let our friendship end here!"

Pu Sangzhi thoughtfully nodded her head.

Soon, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao had finished filling out their preferences.

Pu Sangzhi also placed Tsinghua as her first choice; with her scores, she probably didn’t need to fill out many other options.

However, Pu Sangzhi was still uneasy.

While Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao went to submit their preferences, Pu Sangzhi quietly left the classroom and went to a corner of the corridor,

secretively taking out her phone to call Huo Feng.

At that time, in classroom 7, Huo Feng was also sprawled over his desk, troubled and unable to fill in the empty application form.

To this day, Huo Feng had completely lost direction regarding his future path.

He had just realized that if he couldn’t get into Tsinghua, he really wasn’t interested in any other schools.

Huo Feng was even considering, should he repeat a year? Maybe next year he wouldn’t miss by those two points?

But it was also possible that his scores could be worse next year, especially since Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t be there to tutor him... For more chapters visıt 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

While he was deep in his quandary, a call from Pu Sangzhi came, presenting him with both pressure and a glimmer of hope...

Huo Feng picked up the phone nervously and immediately asked, "Have you filled out your application?"

On the other end, Pu Sangzhi sighed and replied, "No. Where did you apply?"

Huo Feng glanced at his empty application form but didn’t reveal the truth. Pretending to be lighthearted, he said, "The exams didn’t go well... I applied to Tsinghua, Peking University, and Beijing Film Academy. Wherever they accept me, I’ll go. How about you?"

Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi frowned, "What do you mean, Peking University and Beijing Film Academy? Why would you apply to those two?"

Huo Feng pursed his lips and forcibly explained, "I need to be closer to you. Anyway, I filled it out first. Even if Tsinghua and Peking University don’t want me, then I’ll audition for the arts! I can sing and dance, and I’m good at performing; maybe I’ll get into Beijing Film Academy. I was thinking, if I can’t be a science guy, then I might as well debut as a teen idol! Otherwise, it would be a waste of this face~"

Though he spoke so casually, Huo Feng was actually very upset inside.

Beijing Film Academy and such were just last-resort choices...

Huo Feng still really wanted to be an engineer who earned his living with intellect.

Although, with his looks, becoming an actor was also suitable...

"Do you really want to go to Beijing Film Academy?"

Pu Sangzhi voiced her doubts, "You better think it over. Even if you truly can’t get into Tsinghua, there are plenty of excellent science schools nationwide. Zhejiang University is great; you could totally go there, and you could even keep Yan Siyuan company."

Huo Feng objected, "If I have to stay with him, he’ll always be ahead of me. His scores were dozens of points higher than mine in this college entrance exam, which infuriated me! With his high scores, he should go to Tsinghua. Give me those scores! With my scores, he could still attend Zhejiang University! Tell me, why is fate so unfair? I wish I could switch with him!"

Listening to his childish words, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but sigh, "Stop thinking about those things. Listen to me, put Tsinghua as your first choice, and Zhejiang University as your second. Leave the rest of the chaotic choices for later. I’ll do the same, I’ll apply to Tsinghua and Zhejiang University. If you don’t make it into Tsinghua, I’ll go to Zhejiang University with you."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Feng was startled by her words!

Pu Sangzhi then solemnly repeated, "I said, first choice Tsinghua, second choice Zhejiang University. If you don’t get into Tsinghua, I’ll go to Zhejiang University with you. I’ve thought it over, and we can still apply for master’s degrees at Tsinghua later. But for these four years of university, I don’t want to be apart from you."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Feng was completely stunned! So stunned that he couldn’t even speak!

For some reason, there was a long silence on his side...

Since Pu Sangzhi couldn’t get a response from him, she had to call out to him, "Hey, did you hear what I said? The second choice is Zhejiang University, so we can still go to university together. Did you hear?"

Finally, on her third repeat, Huo Feng suddenly yelled out, "Are you crazy! I’m not applying to Zhejiang University! Don’t you apply either! Are you sick? The top of our province going to Zhejiang University!"

Pu Sangzhi was mystified by his shouting, her eyebrows furrowing even more tightly, "Hey, I’ve done my research. The Civil Engineering department at Zhejiang University is among the top five national schools. Their computer science department is also high quality. I’m not making this decision lightly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Feng had hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from the other end, Pu Sangzhi stared at the darkened screen and let out a deep sigh.

She knew he didn’t agree.

But she was also not going to allow him to make decisions carelessly, to simply apply to any school in Beijing just to be closer to her, and not even in the major he liked.

Perhaps he was also suited for Beijing Film Academy, but that was not the major he liked.

Now was the time they needed to make compromises together, and it was also a test of their relationship...

Pu Sangzhi put away the phone, and without hesitation, she ran towards classroom 7...

She was ready to have a serious face-to-face talk with him.

She was also willing to make sacrifices for him, and not just let him make all the sacrifices...
