Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Did Well on the Exam

"Is the score high enough?" Jian Zhiqing hugged his arms, stretching his legs naturally as well, knowing that the scores for Kyoto University were never too low.

"The score is enough," Qin Xiangnuan added her own score to the paper, "I think I can score over 690 points, and last year’s admission score for Kyoto University was 645 points. Even if it’s higher this year, it won’t possibly exceed 660."

"We can ask around first, no rush," Jian Zhiqing planned to take Qin Xiangnuan to visit the timepiece design department at Kyoto School tomorrow, "First see what the situation is like, and if it’s really good, then this will be the school," he knew that Qin Xiangnuan wouldn’t attend a school too far away. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen Bayi instead of others just because it’s closer to home.

"Okay," Chun Xiangnuan also wanted to familiarize herself with the environment of her future school. After all, it was a reputable university, and she thought it likely wouldn’t be too bad.

The next day, after breakfast, Jian Zhiqing took Qin Xiangnuan to Kyoto University. It happened to be the weekend, so there were no classes, but most students were there. This was university, after all, with students from all over the country.

Being a student is not easy, having to leave home and only return twice a year. Some students whose families are struggling have to work part-time, and they probably only get to go back during the New Year.

When Qin Xiangnuan decided to apply to Kyoto University, she had planned to buy a house closer to the area. Even the Siheyuan she purchased, she didn’t hesitate because it was near Jing University, which would be convenient for attending school later.

They toured around the campus extensively, and Qin Xiangnuan grew increasingly pleased with her new school, especially since the clothing design department was newly established. Whether it was the buildings or the examination-related facilities, everything was newly built and very modern. Moreover, the country’s clothing industry was developing steadily.

In life, we need clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, and clothing comes first—who doesn’t wear clothes when going out?

Thus, this industry presently has a bright future, and even decades from now, it will still account for a significant proportion of a person’s annual expenses.

They looked at the entire Kyoto University—the school buildings, workshops, cafeteria, and every plant and tree. She was very satisfied with it all. The school’s greenspaces were well-kept, evidently with much effort put into them. There was also a large grove of trees that smelled like a forest, which could become a romantic spot for university students.

As Qin Xiangnuan walked past, she did indeed see several intimately close couples. She quickly averted her eyes, reminding herself not to gaze upon things one shouldn’t. And she was indeed very embarrassed, which wouldn’t have been a big deal if she were alone, but Jian Zhiqing was with her.

However, Jian Zhiqing seemed not to have noticed, walking straight ahead without looking sideways.

Qin Xiangnuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn’t see; it would have been too awkward otherwise.

What she didn’t know was that the slight upturn at the corners of Jian Zhiqing’s lips perhaps added a few more points than before.

Back home, Jian Zhiqing no longer objected to Qin Xiangnuan attending Kyoto University.

Granny Lu was delighted upon hearing this, nodding continuously, "Yes, that’s a good school, what’s it called?"

"Kyoto University," Qin Xiangnuan answered Granny Lu.

Granny Lu didn’t know what Kyoto University was, but she was reassured hearing from her granddaughter that it was very close to home. As long as it was nearby, like with Qin Xiangyang, at the very least, she could come home twice a week, and Granny Lu could prepare some good food for her.

Even though Qin Xiangnuan had been living in Capital City for quite some time, in Granny Lu’s heart, a child was still a child, and they couldn’t be too far from home. As long as they were close to home, she was happy.

"Alright, we’ll choose this one."

Granny Lu was also now fond of Kyoto University. She intended to ask some old card-playing friends about the school tomorrow. If not, she would go right now. The Spring Festival couplets she gave away this year were not for nothing. Not only did the store’s customers now like to come every day to eat, but the old card-playing friends were also quite polite to her.

After Granny Lu left, Qin Xiangnuan had already written the words "Kyoto University" on her application for her desired university. She only applied for that institution, not considering others.

When Granny Lu returned, she kept saying how good Kyoto University was and how high the admission scores were, making it difficult to get in. She only now realized that getting into university wasn’t as simple as just wanting to. She couldn’t help but worry, what if by some chance the exams were not passed?

Not only she worried, everyone was breaking out in a cold sweat for Qin Xiangnuan. But Qin Xiangnuan herself was not at all anxious; she was firmly convinced she could get in, and she continued to embroider snacks for the system, write Spring Festival couplets, and cultivate her character and temperament.

Naturally, this year’s Spring Festival couplets were to be sold, at the very least, they could always be sold, just more or less. After all, this was a business without any capital cost, and she could also practice her calligraphy—killing two birds with one stone.

And soon, the results were out.

Qin Xiangnuan did better than she expected, scoring 712 points, which indeed made for a high score. There were more than one high school in Capital City, and her performance was considered normal, which was actually extraordinary. With an admission score of 650 points, her entry into Kyoto University was as certain as set in stone.

When Granny Lu found out that her granddaughter was admitted to Kyoto University, she clasped her hands together, thanked heaven and earth, then went to buy meat and vegetables, preparing a big feast to celebrate Qin Xiangnuan’s acceptance into Kyoto University. Jian Zhiqing and Jian Zhiqin both came over, and everyone enjoyed a lovely meal.

With university settled, Qin Xiangnuan was now living through her summer vacation. Finally, she didn’t need to bury herself in books daily nor worry about exams day and night, facing insufficient sleep and worry. She lived each day at ease, accompanying Granny Lu to the breakfast shop in the mornings. The old customers now really recognized Granny Lu’s establishment, not just because the food was tasty, but also because of Granny Lu’s good character and reasonable prices. Of course, it also helped that she had given out Spring Festival couplets over the holidays, so the shop had become well-liked.

It was just that Granny Lu looked somewhat worried recently.

Once they packed up, they prepared to head back. Granny Lu remembered that there were no vegetables at home, so they had to go to the field to pick some.

They passed by a row of newly built houses, and with each visit, Granny Lu couldn’t help but sigh.

The building was so well constructed, and who knew that such a large road would be built right in front, leading directly to several main intersections. The commute for students and workers was much shorter, practically halving the time compared to before.
