Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 93: Turning in the Exam Early, Making Witty Remarks!

Just as they got out of the car, Xia Shiyu saw Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan heading to the exam hall.

She hurriedly called out, Su Lin, Xiaowan, why are you going in already? Wait for me~! Saying so, Xia Shiyu rushed towards Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, completely oblivious to Lin Guoqiang and Su Zhenguo standing nearby.

Su Zhenguo, this is the son youve raised? Clinging to my Xiaowan isnt enough, hes even ambiguous with other girls. Humph! Such a philanderer with a chaotic private life is not someone our Xiaowan would like, Lin Guoqiang said angrily.

Hehe~! Mayor Lin, as far as I know, our Su Lin and your Xiaowan are quite close friends. As for who likes whom, who knows? Maybe in the future, we could even become in-laws, Su Zhenguo replied cheerfully.

Whether it was Xia Shiyu or Lin Xiaowan, both had great looks, which Su Zhenguo was quite satisfied with. Who to choose was not his concern; it should be up to Su Lin.

Who wants to become in-laws with you? Dream on, Lin Guoqiang retorted and left abruptly.

Watching Lin Guoqiang drive away, Su Zhenguo chuckled, Unexpected, but interesting.

Elsewhere, Xia Shiyu caught up with Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin, Su Lin, Xiaowan, didnt you hear me calling?

We heard, Xiaoyu.

You heard but still didnt wait for me~!!

Cough, cough, Xiaoyu, its not that Xiaowan and I didnt want to wait. Its just that the atmosphere back there was a bit intimidating. I felt if we didnt leave then, Xiaowans dad might have eaten me alive, Su Lin said helplessly.

Ah~! Xiaowans dad came too?

Not only that, Su Lins dad also came. Did you see him in white clothes when you came in, Xiaoyu?

Xia Shiyu shook her head, I was in a hurry chasing you guys, didnt notice.

Su Lin chuckled, Just an old man, nothing much to see. Lets go to the exam hall. Xiaoyu, Xiaowan, our exam rooms are different, so we might not meet later. Shall we leave separately and meet outside the school?

Lin Xiaowan hesitated a bit before saying, Lets go back home first. My dad said hed pick me up. If he doesnt come, his driver will.

Then lets head home. Xiaoyu, do you need a ride with me?

Xia Shiyu thought for a moment and then shook her head, No, Id feel nervous in the car if its not you driving.

Hehe, alright then. Thats settled.

Mhm~!!

After discussing, the three of them entered their respective exam halls.

The Chinese language exam was two and a half hours long, but Su Lin finished all the questions and completed the essay in just one hour. Since the exam rules in 2002 were relatively lenient, students could leave early after an hour.

After another ten minutes, Su Lin couldnt sit still anymore and handed in his paper. The invigilator suggested he could double-check his answers, but Su Lin shook his head, indicating it was unnecessary. The invigilator let him leave without further insistence.

Stepping out of the classroom, the campus of Zhongjiang No. 2 High School was very quiet. Su Lin didnt disturb the other students and headed straight for the school gate.

Someones coming out.

Is it a student? I wonder whose kid it is.

Its only been just over an hour. Did this kid do really well, or give up out of despair for doing poorly?

Shouldnt be poor in performance. Have you ever seen anyone with poor grades walk so confidently?

Confidently, Su Lin walked out of the school and was about to exit the gate when a twenty-something journalist with a microphone hurried over.

Excuse me, student, could you wait a moment?

Su Lin paused when he saw the reporter. He thought to himself that no one in this world seemed to have ever shown off in front of a reporter. Why not be the first?

For Su Lin, having good grades but not being able to flaunt them seemed meaningless. Besides, he really wanted to say something bold, otherwise, wouldnt this trip be a waste?

Seeing Su Lin stop, the reporter quickly approached him, Hello, student, I am a reporter from Jiangnan Television Station. May I ask you a few questions?

Su Lin nodded, Of course, what would you like to know, Miss Reporter?

Why did you come out so early? Our college entrance exam just started over an hour ago, asked the reporter.

Su Lin replied with a smile, The reason I came out early is simple: I finished. Other than the essay, which took some time, the rest of the Chinese language exam wasnt difficult.

The reporter, a bit excited by Su Lins response, asked, Does that mean you found this years Chinese exam too easy?

Su Lin nodded, Honestly, none of the questions piqued my interest, so I finished them quickly.

Since you found the exam easy, you must have done very well, right?

Su Lin shook his head seriously, I cant be 100% sure about scoring full marks in Chinese, but I am confident I scored above 140.

The surrounding parents were astonished. Scoring above 140 in Chinese was extremely challenging, as they all knew from their own school days.

140? Thats an excellent score!

Su Lin seriously shook his head again, 140 is actually the worst score I expect to get.

The reporter was momentarily stunned by Su Lins confidence, So, you are implying that your scores in other subjects are even better?

Despite her internal criticisms, the reporter maintained her smile. She thought this interview would make for great evening news, especially if Su Lin failed to live up to his claims.

She continued to probe, From what you say, it seems youre confident about your results. Surely, getting into Qingmu or Didu University wont be a problem, right?

Su Lin shook his head, Sorry, I am not planning to go to either of those universities.

Not going to Qingmu or Didu? Why not?

Su Lin shrugged, They are too far away. The smog in Didu is severe, and I dont like it! But the main reason is well, never mind I need to go home for lunch. Miss Reporter, is there anything else you want to ask? If not, Ill be leaving.

Before the reporter could respond, Su Lin left. The reporter, frustrated, stomped her foot. Whats the most important reason hes not saying?

Which school is this kid from? Hes so arrogant, not even considering Qingmu or Didu.

He has good grades and can choose any university in the country. What does it matter if he doesnt go to Qingmu or Didu?

Yes, but I still want to know what the most important reason is?

I guess the most important reason might be that his scores arent good enough.

The crowd of parents burst into laughter at this suggestion. The reporter turned to her cameraman, Make sure this part gets added in. The cameraman nodded silently.
