Chapter 541 He Hongtao: How Much Did He Score?!

Chen Yuan wasn't particularly excited after learning his score this time.

Why?

What was his total score last time?

716.

And what was his score in Chinese last time?

131.

This time, his Chinese improved by ten points, and his total score improved by twelve.

In other words, this time, his progress was only two points.

And this was on a rather substandard Eleventh High School monthly exam.

It could be said that his efforts over the past two months had only resulted in a meager two-point increase.

Of course, at this level, it was very difficult to progress further.

Moreover, it could be said that it was like sailing against the current; if you didn't move forward, you would fall back.

If Chen Yuan relaxed even slightly, he might even drop a few points.

Of course, were there any gains?

Had he become more knowledgeable?

Yes, he had.

Zhu Tingting's ten hours of tutoring could be said to have benefited Chen Yuan immensely, allowing him to absorb a large amount of her vitality.

It was like a martial arts grandmaster imparting all his skills to you before his death...

However, before his death.

He felt quite saddened when he thought of that scene.

He had lived such a hard life; he hoped he would be a little happier in the next life.

Chen Yuan sincerely hoped in his heart.

"The National Day holiday is coming up soon; does anyone have any plans?" Zhou Yu asked from the dorm room.

"Are you referring to those seven days?" Gu Chuan asked.

"What seven days? We only get two!" Zhou Yu said anxiously, looking at the lucky high school freshman with envy.

"Two days is already a lot; be content," Zhang Chao said at this moment. "I heard that some schools only give one and a half days off."

"Is it that certain school that starts with four characters?" Zhou Yu asked.

"How tragic, our Xinyu." At this moment, Chen Yuan also began to sob with heartache.

One and a half days wasn't enough to do anything.

"I don't want to study at all during National Day; I'm just going out to eat and have fun with Jiao Jiao!" Zhou Yu said.

"I'll probably go home and lie around for two days," Zhang Chao said.

"Then will you play CS?"

"Sure, I can play for a few hours."

While everyone was chatting, Chen Yuan received a message.

It was from Little He.

He Xuan: My coming-of-age ceremony is on the 1st. Are you and Xinyu free?

Oh, she really invited me.

After asking, she also sent an electronic invitation.

It included the address, time, and some requests, such as: No need to give red envelopes.

After all, she was Little He's daughter. If he gave Little He a red envelope, it would indeed make him feel a little awkward.

However, if he didn't give a red envelope, it would be best to bring a gift.

Speaking of which, how should he attend such a bourgeois coming-of-age ceremony...

Chen Yuan: Ok, I'll ask Xinyu.

After he replied, He Xuan quickly sent another message.

He Xuan: I don't have Zhou Fu or Shen Yating's contact information. Can you send it to me? I want to invite them too.

Then, Chen Yuan sent her Zhou Fu and Liu Chengxi's WeChat contacts.

The reason he didn't send Shen Yating's was because he didn't have her WeChat.

Hey! That couple was truly pure love, unlike Jiao Jiao, who couldn't be trifled with.

Chen Yuan: By the way, is there any dress code for your coming-of-age ceremony?

He Xuan: You can dress up as Ultraman or Spiderman [doge emoji]

Chen Yuan: Really?

He Xuan: Just kidding, anything is fine, it's up to you.

He Xuan: But some people might wear formal attire, it's up to you guys.

She was being very subtle.

But Chen Yuan knew that, besides himself and her classmates, there would probably be some more upper-class people attending.

Like the dignitaries and wealthy people of Xia Hai.

Logically speaking, Chen Yuan, at his "positive-sphere" level, wasn't really suitable for such occasions, but the Sphere Leader chose to mingle with the people.

Chen Yuan: Okay, I'll ask Xinyu.

Just like that, Chen Yuan also sent a message to Xinyu.

After a while, she replied happily.

Xin Bao: I want to go, I want to go!

She really liked joining in on the fun...

Chen Yuan: Okay, then we'll go out and pick out some clothes.

Xin Bao: Does that mean we have to buy formal attire?

Chen Yuan: Just something a little more formal is fine. Anyway, I want to see Miss Yu Zi.

Xin Bao: But on that day, there will be a real young lady.

Chen Yuan: Don't say such feudal things.

What young lady?

Betraying the working class, I'm going to early classes!

Xin Bao: Okay~ Then let's go.

Just like that, Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu discussed the matter of the coming-of-age ceremony.

And at this time, the Trio also started chatting.

Shen Yating: Oh my god, the Eleventh High School princess invited me to her coming-of-age ceremony. What should I do? I'm just a commoner.

Chen Yuan: I'm still a poor and lower-middle peasant.

Shi Yi: I'm a prophet.

Damn, even Lao Shi was being humorous.

Not bad, not bad, very progressive.

Liu Chengxi: Are you all going?

Chen Yuan: Xinyu and I have decided to go.

Shen Yating: Let's all go.

Shen Yating @ Shi Yi: Call Wen Xin along, I need her to teach me how to dress. She's a real young lady!

Liu Chengxi: Doesn't your dressing style look good too?

Shen Yating: But it's still a student style. Shouldn't a coming-of-age ceremony be about becoming an adult?

Chen Yuan @ Liu Chengxi: Chengxi ge, will you wear formal attire?

Shen Yating @ Liu Chengxi: Wear it, wear it~

It could be seen that Shen Yating already

wanted to see Liu Chengxi slay in such a setting.

After all, he was a natural clothes hanger for formal attire, 24k pure handsome, just like a male model.

Of course, not the kind of male model from a ktv.

Liu Chengxi @ Shen Yating: Okay.

Chengxi ge had always been very casual because he was too handsome, but after Yating's anticipation, he agreed dotingly.

This guy, he's really purely in love.

Shen Yating: I have a feeling that our Trio is going to have a bit of a moment at her coming-of-age ceremony.

Indeed.

The Trio had looks, talent, and abstractness; wasn't that the strongest little group?

If there was even a bit of face-slapping plot, like a rich second-generation who liked He Xuan, then all the elements would be too complete.

Of course, Chen Yuan would definitely not cause trouble or stand out, after all, this was He Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony, but if someone sent an opportunity for him to show off...

Then he wouldn't show off!

The Sphere Leader had matured.

Shi Yi: Since it's a coming-of-age ceremony, should we bring gifts?

Shi Yi's words started a rather heated discussion within the Trio, with everyone offering suggestions...

...

At this moment, He Hongtao's head was a little big.

He still hadn't chosen a gift.

It needed to be sincere, not too perfunctory, and it also had to be something his daughter liked...

He heard her say that she wanted to invite Chen Yuan to the coming-of-age ceremony, so should he consult Chen Yuan?

Hey, speaking of Chen Yuan, the school's monthly exam results should be out by now.

Because it was just a monthly exam and not an important exam, He Hongtao didn't pay much attention to it, so naturally he didn't urge the teachers to grade Chen Yuan's papers first.

But after all, it was an exam, a reference, so he was still quite curious.

So, he sent a message to the director of the teaching and research department.

After a while, the other party replied.

But the meaning was that it would still take a while to compile.

Because there were still teachers working overtime at the school, He Hongtao didn't sneak away and waited in the office like that.

So, while he was waiting, he took out a pack of Honglili Qun cigarettes, took one out, lit it, and took a good puff.

Although his smoking addiction had lessened a lot, those few puffs in the school office or in the car were really healing.

He had also tried to quit smoking completely, and almost succeeded.

Then, his throat got better, his skin got better, his complexion looked much better, and other than not wanting to live anymore, there were basically no other side effects.

He took a puff and exhaled the smoke.

Looking at the computer, he waited for the teachers to finish their work.

Then, he guessed Chen Yuan's score this time in his heart.

After all, it was the first time doing a national exam paper, so he might be a little unaccustomed to it, and his score might decrease a bit.

How should he put it, above 710 would be considered normal.

But after so much time had passed, it would be reasonable for him to improve a bit more.

Because it was Chen Yuan.

For him, anything was possible.

Just like that, the file was sent over.

His hand holding the cigarette calmly clicked on the document.

In the next moment, his hand holding the cigarette trembled wildly...

Looking at that outrageous number on the screen, he was completely dumbfounded.

H-how much? 728!
