Chapter 17 First BOSS

  June 17th.

  6:00

  Even in the summer, the outside world was still in a state of semi-dawn brightness. The alarm clock would not ring for another half hour, but Su Can had already opened his eyes wide and couldn't sleep no matter what.

  He dreamed, and what he dreamed of was the day many years ago, the miserable defeat in the middle school entrance examination, his mother sitting on the sofa with tears streaming down her face because she couldn't afford to pay for it. At that time, Su Can felt the helplessness of fate, the smallness of himself, the powerlessness of being small, and the indifference and cold eyes of countless people falling on him. Perhaps this is the sadness brought about by the exam-oriented education system. In any case, this was a nightmare that Su Can did not want to recall.

  Su Can turned on the light in a panic, afraid that all of this was just a dream, his transmigration and rebirth. It was like someone who had suddenly won 300 million yuan would repeatedly lose sleep, worrying left and right about whether it was all just an unreal dream. He worried similarly that his rebirth process was just an illusion, that his fate had never actually changed.

  It's okay, under the dark-toned sky outside the window, the lighting on the wall is simple, but it shines with a warm light in memory, I'm still at home, I'm still inside my home, touching my own body bones.

  The figure was still as thin and weak as it was when he was sixteen years old, next to the alarm clock with a small calendar that flipped pages, which clearly indicated June 17th.

  It was June 17th in the summer of 1998.

  The fact of crossing over is still true, and today is also the day of the college entrance examination, which is also true!

  Around six thirty, the door to my parents' room finally opened, and my mother came out. She started boiling eggs and milk, then turned around and saw Su Can, who was dressed and tidying up his exam materials and papers, through the kitchen window.

  "Son, good luck on your exam! Make sure to bring everything you need, including pens for the multiple-choice questions and a ruler and compass, which are already on the desk. Today's the day I get to see your results!"

  After eating eggs and milk, Su Can felt full of energy. In the past, he often didn't eat breakfast, his mealtimes were irregular, and under great pressure, so he was listless all day, and his body wasn't good either. Now he had returned to how he was at sixteen years old. Although his body was thinner than it would be in the future, Su Can felt unprecedented energy filling him up, as if he had endless power to do many things.

  "Don't worry, mom, I'll do well on the test." Su Can left these reassuring words for his mother Zeng Ke before he departed.

  In the past, Zeng Ke was never worried about Su Can's exams. Every time he made himself feel at ease, but had he ever truly felt at ease?

  But now it's different, Su Can has been studying hard for the past two days, and his confident tone and gaze have given her a feeling that he has grown up rapidly in a short period of time. She feels at ease with this thought, "Even if Su Can doesn't get in, what's the big deal? He knows the pros and cons, and he's really made an effort. Even if he only gets into the third high school, I'll borrow money to let him attend!"

  As soon as he walked out of the door, there were a few people in the unit who were at the same level as him, but none of them had as deep a relationship with Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui. They just exchanged greetings before hastily passing each other by. Just then, they happened to run into Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui who were walking down from the seventh floor and third floor respectively.

  Two people were extremely excited to see him, "Hey, the practice questions you gave us are really good. Our test papers usually only have the final results, but I didn't expect your paper to include the solution process and steps, it's very detailed! I didn't know that San Zhong had such internal practice questions!"

  Su Can's face was radiant, and the steps and processes on the test paper were all written by him. It was just that when they were photocopied, the pen characters naturally became lead characters, so neither of them knew that they had done those questions themselves, thinking it was Su Can's teacher who had handed out the materials, and Su Can didn't bother to reveal the truth.

  It wasn't until they got on the same bus to the exam school that everyone asked about their progress, "So how's your review going? With these few sets of test papers, it should be a great help, right?"

  "It's not that easy!" Xue Yi Yang gave him a white eye, "Even if there is an answer, many knowledge points need to be digested, don't they? If I were to do that set of questions, I wouldn't be able to do more than ten or so without looking at the answers. Now that I've reviewed them roughly once, but the number of questions is really too much! For math, I saw over 40 questions, and as for the exam, I think I still have a little confidence. English is too hard, over 30 questions is my limit. Physics and chemistry, on the other hand, I saw over 50 questions. Anyway, it's not until tomorrow that we'll take the exam, so I can still review some more when I get back today."

  Liu Rui, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said, "I'm almost the same. The difficulty of those questions is a bit beyond the scope, anyway, it's absolutely impossible to test all of them. I've roughly reviewed the system and have some confidence."

  Su Cangxin thought this was reasonable. Xue Yiyang and Liu Rui, after all, had decades of experience and process that differed from his own. For them, middle school material still had its difficulties. If he hadn't written out the exercises himself, they might have been limited to just over a dozen questions. Even if he wrote out the solution process for them, it would take some time for them to digest and understand each question one by one. So being able to see 30 or 40 questions was quite impressive.

  Indeed, it was fortunate for me to have a good grasp of these things, thanks to the momentum of rebirth and transmigration.

  The train stopped at the next station, and the doors opened with a hiss. More students got on, and at this moment, Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui were stunned.

  Tang Yu wore a pink small backpack, wearing a hoodie cute sportswear, her lower body was a pair of jeans that outlined her slender legs, walked onto the bus passageway, grasped the handrail, saw Su Can, first stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled generously, "Hello."

  This bus was originally going to the No. 1 Middle School examination venue, and most of the people on the bus were students from No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools. Nobody knew Tang Yu, but Tang Yu greeted Su Can first, making him the object of everyone's envy.

  "Hello, what a coincidence." Su Can also hastily responded with a wave of his hand.

  More and more people came up. After Tang Yu and Su Can greeted each other, they stood there, stunning and exceptional, their faces turned to the window, no longer looking at any other place.

  It turned out that several students in the car were secretly whispering to each other, and when they graduated, they heard that school flower Tang Yu and their classmate Su Can had a good relationship. They didn't think this was true, after all, who had ever seen the aloof Tang Yu take the initiative to greet someone first?

  As for this, Su Can was also somewhat unexpected. It turned out that on the eve of graduation, Su Can and Tang Yu chatted together after school and walked home shoulder to shoulder, which actually changed Tang Yu's impression of him and increased her affection for him. To her, Su Can represented a kind of nostalgia, a nostalgia for their classmates who had been together for three years.

  It was when Su Can turned his head that Liu Rui and Xue Yi Yang stared at him with wide eyes, occasionally twitching the corners of their mouths. This kid had been giving them surprises lately, playing games exceptionally well, and now he somehow knew such a beautiful girl in their trio, which had terrible luck with women...

  Although Tang Yu might not be as perfect as that girl named Luo Ran in the game room the night before last, her refreshing temperament, illuminated by the first rays of morning sunlight shining through the window, was quite stunning.

  Su Cancai was too lazy to care about these two infatuated men, his gaze shifted to the window outside, greedily looking at the city eleven years ago, familiar streets, in memories those indelible impressions, this moment back, accompanied by the approaching middle school entrance exam's drumbeat-like rhythm, making himself hot-blooded and excited.

  Liu Rui got off at the second middle school examination venue, and when he got off, there was a bit of commotion. Tang Yu also inadvertently swept his eyes towards Su Can's side several times, seeing him sometimes exchanging with Xue Yi Yang with great enthusiasm, and sometimes his gaze drifted out the window. His brown pupils were illuminated by the morning light, shining brightly, focused yet dazed, as if nothing inside the car could attract him more than the scenery outside the window.

  For some reason, Tang Yu felt slightly disappointed.
