After all the teachers have led the students through their final review, the senior high school students' schoolwork can be considered finished. What remains is for them to focus on their own targeted intensive study. In the last month before the college entrance examination, the school gives senior high school students a great deal of freedom; all students can choose to stay at school to study or go home. Of course, many of the teachers will also remain at school during this time, and students can find them to answer any questions they need.

At this time, Su Yi had much more free time. Besides his daily review and consolidation as planned, he spent most of his remaining time learning programming. He had now mastered most high-level languages ​​and was beginning to learn assembly language.

Computer languages ​​have evolved to the point where they can be broadly categorized into three types: low-level languages, high-level languages, and special-purpose languages.

Low-level languages, including machine language and assembly language, were the earliest programming languages. Although programs written in these languages ​​were executed by computers the fastest, they were also very complex. Therefore, various high-level languages, which are easier to write, were later invented. However, because of the additional compilation process, programs written in high-level languages ​​are less efficient for computers.

For this reason, after mastering these commonly used high-level languages, Su Yi began to learn assembly language.

Time is like a shadow under the setting sun, gradually lengthening.

As the heat in Dongdu had completely subsided, July, a month made special by the college entrance examination, finally arrived.

The multi-functionality of the Kosei proved once again useful; even during the hottest times, Su Yi's home remained cool and comfortable. Being able to absorb energy while simultaneously functioning as air conditioning, it was truly an essential item for both home and travel.

Su Yi went to get his admission ticket and took the physical examination as instructed by the school.

Next, all students will face the dreaded July of the college entrance examination, which will come like a monster.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has finally arrived.

The weather was extremely hot and humid that day. According to the weather forecast, the temperature would reach its highest point since the beginning of summer in the next few days, which added more worries to the hearts of many students and parents taking the college entrance examination.

It was early morning, and the sweltering heat was almost unbearable. Even just standing still under the blazing sun, sweat kept pouring out, only to evaporate again, leaving an extremely uncomfortable sticky feeling on the body, which made people inexplicably irritable.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Dongdu No. 2 Middle School, an ever-growing crowd of students and parents awaiting their exams had gathered. The road in front of the school was already congested with numerous vehicles, yet many people continued to weave through the traffic to reach the school gate.

Everyone was drenched in sweat, waiting for the school gates to open. The security guard at the gate indifferently surveyed the crowd before him.

Heat is a feeling shared by everyone.

Impatience can easily creep in at this time.

At this moment, Su Yi leisurely walked over. The weather didn't bother him much; after his physical transformation, his adaptability had greatly improved, and the manipulation technique gave him a cool sensation. Looking at the many examinees and even more parents in front of him, a slight smile appeared on his lips. These teenagers, unknowingly showered with parental care, were actually quite fortunate.

Many people couldn't help but scrutinize the handsome young man who walked alone. His faint smile showed no sign that he was about to experience the most important moment of his life so far. It made him seem as if he had just come to accomplish something insignificant. His clear eyes also brought a sense of coolness to the hot weather.

This is truly a peculiar young man.

Su Yi's exam was also held at this No. 2 Middle School. His gaze swept across the crowd, catching sight of An Jing standing on the outer edge, holding a parasol. Their eyes met, and both felt different emotions. The dignified middle-aged man next to An Jing was her father, An Long. Su Yi had seen him a few times before, and An Long had also seen Su Yi, still somewhat remembering the boy. Looking at him now, even with so many years of life experience, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Regardless of the final results, the boy's performance at this moment was already admirable.

The students waiting to take the exam were surrounded by their parents' endless admonitions. After three years of arduous journey, they finally faced the narrow, precarious bridge of exams. The test wasn't just for the students about to enter the examination hall, but also for their parents. Sweat poured uncontrollably down their bodies; this damned weather was unbearably hot!

Finally, the door opened. The crowded people entered through the doorway and dispersed into the various examination rooms. Su Yi also slowly walked in, had his admission ticket checked by the stern-faced examiner, and then entered his own examination room.

There were three or four other students from his school in the exam room. Su Yi sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the exam papers to be distributed. Suddenly, he heard the two students to his left and right laughing and making a pact to have sex after the exam.

Indeed, there will always be strong people...

The proctor walked up to the podium with the exam papers and began to routinely explain the exam rules. The students listened below, their minds racing with various thoughts as they waited for the exam to begin.

Then the exam papers were distributed one by one, and with the bell ringing throughout the campus, the exam began.

The examination room immediately fell silent, broken only by the rustling of answer sheets. At that moment, every candidate knew that the moment that would determine their fate had begun.

"Su Yi!" As Su Yi walked out of the examination hall, he heard a voice behind him. Without turning around, he already knew who it was; the voice was all too familiar.

Stopping, Su Yi turned to look at An Jing, who was rushing towards him. The weather was still hot, and the sweat on her face was clearly visible.

"How are you feeling?" Quietly, walking alongside him, she asked softly, slightly out of breath.

"Not bad, how about you?" As usual, the first exam was Chinese, perhaps this arrangement was intended to allow the students to relax. After all, Chinese is a relatively easy subject, at least it's easy to fill in the paper, and no matter the final score, the feeling after the exam won't be too bad. Su Yi answered the questions with ease. Chinese is also the subject that benefits the least from brain enhancement, but Su Yi's Chinese grades were already good, and he was also good at writing essays, so he was extremely confident in this subject.

"The essay topic was a bit unexpected, but it felt pretty good. The earlier questions weren't too difficult." Quietly walking beside Su Yi, she felt his familiar scent and her mood calmed down.

Hearing An Jing's answer, Su Yi felt the same way. He found the previous questions relatively easy, but the essay topic was more difficult to grasp, which took up most of Su Yi's time.

The two chatted casually, yet it felt like the journey had gone by too quickly; such relaxed conversation seemed like a long time ago. The students passing by had various expressions; those who knew each other spoke quietly about their exams. An inexplicable sense of oppression permeated the campus.

As the students stepped out of the school gate, parents surrounded them, offering words of comfort and concern. Their expressions were no less relaxed than those of the test-takers. Among them was a usually quiet father, whose face, though typically stern, now showed a hint of anxiety. Truly, the hearts of parents are always full of love and concern.

"Hello, Uncle." Facing his quiet father, Su Yi appeared obedient.

"Xiao Yi, how did the exam go? Come to our house for lunch." An Long used to have a good impression of Su Yi. He had also heard a little about what had happened in Su Yi's family, so he had very complicated feelings about Su Yi. But being experienced, he didn't show it on his face and spoke to Su Yi kindly.

"No, Uncle, I already arranged to eat with my friends," Su Yi said politely.

An Jing knew that Su Yi didn't actually have many friends, but she couldn't say anything in front of her father, so she could only wear a hesitant expression and finally got into the car with her father.

Watching the black Audi drive away, Su Yi turned and walked in the opposite direction. Where to eat lunch?

Su Yi wandered aimlessly. The streets were nearly deserted at midday, with a large number of examinees crowding the nearby restaurants, causing them to be packed. At this time, all parents could do was try their best to ensure their children had good food and lodging.

"It's your college entrance exam today, okay? And you still want to go out and play!" A pleasant voice came from Su Yi's side, but the loud volume and soft tone were somewhat out of place.

"Hey, sis, it's because it's the college entrance exam that you need to relax a bit... Ugh, you're always twisting my ear... Ouch, my ear's going to fall off..." A pig-like wail came from the boy's mouth, and this boy, who looked quite like Kangta from the popular Korean group HOT, had his ear being twisted by a hot-dressed girl next to him.

Su Yi chuckled inwardly. He was surprised to find that this boy seemed to be the one who had said he would go to CS after the exam, the one who was in the same exam room as him.

"Bullshit!" The girl shouted rather vulgar words, "Look at you, dating early, skipping classes, playing games, you do everything except study, can you stop giving me such a headache! And what do you mean by 'older sister'? I'm not old at all!!" As she spoke, the girl seemed to increase the force, and the boy's howling could be described as a pig being slaughtered.

"Sister, spare me! We have an English listening test, and my ear fell off... it really fell off. Hey, buddy, don't just leave it on, are you trying to kill me?" The boy tilted his head and saw Su Yi watching this scene from the side, and shouted for help.

Hearing the boy's words, the girl stopped what she was doing, turned around and saw Su Yi. She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's you! You're here to take the college entrance exam too?"
