If flowers bloom, youth will naturally follow.

During Xiaopang and Qiao Tianyi's last date before the college entrance examination, Qiao Tianyi said to Xiaopang before returning to Beijing: "Little Bao'er, I'll pick you up two days before the college entrance examination. Let's go to Yilan a day early to familiarize ourselves with the examination venue."

"Really? Didn't you say your advisor is busy with something and relies on you a lot? Can you spare some time?" the scheming fat man asked, feigning surprise.

In reality, the scheming fat man felt no surprise at all; on the contrary, he thought it was only natural. How could he not accompany his girlfriend during her college entrance examination?

As for why Little Fatty referred to himself as his girlfriend...

Is Little Fatty stupid? Little Fatty is a complete idiot. How could an idiot's math score rank in the top 60 out of more than 20 million high school students nationwide (there are only 60 people in the national math Olympiad training team)?

If the scheming fat man can't figure out Qiao Tianyi's thoughts, then there's no point in discussing logic in this book.

If we treat whether Qiao Tianyi likes Xiao Pang as a math problem, the answer is known: Qiao Tianyi's personality and his attitude towards Xiao Pang both indicate that he definitely likes Xiao Pang.

The only question is, why doesn't he confess his feelings?

It's even simpler to deduce the question from the answer. Given that Qiao Tianyi always reminds him to "study hard" whenever he comes, Xiao Pang thought for a moment and realized: "Hehe, Brother Tianyi underestimated my ability and perseverance. He's afraid that I'll get too caught up in love and ruin my future. How cute and thoughtful of him."

So Little Fatty had already considered Qiao Tianyi as his "wife".

"Hehe, nothing is more important than our little treasure's college entrance exam." As the day of confession drew closer, even the composed Qiao Tianyi could no longer suppress the overflowing affection, and the sweetness level in her conversations with Xiaopang increased.

"Hehe, you're smart enough. Alright, buddy, just get ready to witness the birth of the top scorer in Heilongjiang Province," the chubby guy said arrogantly.

……

On the morning of June 4, Xiao Pang arrived at the community as agreed. He didn't see the familiar Beetle, but he did see Jiang Ziyi's RV, with Qiao Tianyi standing next to it.

"Hey, Brother Tianyi, does Sister Yiyi have time to go to Heilongjiang with me?" Little Fatty was filled with mixed feelings. It wasn't that he didn't welcome Jiang Ziyi and Sister Xiaoyu, but he could have spent time alone with Qiao Tianyi.

There is no greater example than forgetting friends for the sake of beauty.

"Hehe, my sister doesn't have time. I just borrowed her car so it'll be more convenient for you to study on the road," Qiao Tianyi laughed. "What if you get an extra 10 or 8 points?"

"Hehe, the RV is great! Let's buy some groceries, and I'll cook you something delicious on the way. I'll show you that my cooking skills are much better than before!" Xiao Pang was so touched she almost cried. Who else would she marry if not him? Such a gentle and considerate man is rarer than a panda, isn't he?

Qiao Tianyi seconded, it was indeed a very novel feeling.

The virtuous wife, Fatty, bought some of their favorite dishes at the supermarket, and the two of them leisurely began their journey to Heilongjiang for the imperial examination.

Xiao Pang sighed every time he rode in this RV, saying how great it is to be rich. This thing is like a mobile palace. He could study in the spacious living room (spaciousness is relative; compared to riding in a Beetle back to Heilongjiang, riding in this RV was like a heavenly experience). When he got tired of studying, he could look at the scenery. When he got hungry, he could find a scenic spot for a loving picnic. And when he was sleepy, there was a double bed in the back.

Of course, the double bed was only used for afternoon naps. Qiao Tianyi took meticulous care of Xiao Pang, and worried that he wouldn't sleep well in the car at night, so he slept at the service area at night.

Little Fatty was heartbroken. There was a bed in the car, yet they still had to spend so much money to book two rooms to sleep in.

The 1500-kilometer journey was manageable, and the time wasn't tight. They only needed to reach Yilan in 6 days, so the two young people enjoyed the trip immensely. They even climbed the Great Wall and made a wish at the Niangniang Temple.

After this journey, which was ostensibly a test-taking trip but was actually more like a road trip, Xiao Pang felt incredibly clear-headed when he arrived in Yilan on the 6th. He felt like he was in top form, and the Peking University acceptance letter was practically in his grasp.
