61: Chapter 61: Checking Scores!

They say grown daughters can’t be kept, keep them and they turn into enemies, but she’s not fully grown yet!

Old Xia grumbled inwardly.

After easing the awkwardness, his wife, seated on the other chaise lounge, had already started chatting with Qiao Xi.

Women are like that; as long as they’re willing to talk, they can always find a topic.

This left Old Xia feeling at a loss, so he pretended to fixate on the TV.

What made him depressed was when Qiao Yu really just plopped down right next to his daughter, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Qiao Yu is a clever kid, yet doesn’t realize to avoid suspicion?

He could’ve proactively sat next to me, to chat with his uncle.

No way out, Old Xia felt quite guilty towards Keke.

Due to the nature of their jobs, they’re often unable to be home, and finally being home, he’s really reluctant to say harsh words to their only daughter.

Otherwise, the three of them wouldn’t have come to visit the Qiao Family at this important time, so he could only silently grumble about Qiao Yu.

As all sorts of messy thoughts whirled in his mind, out of the corner of his eye he accidentally saw his daughter poking at Qiao Yu, faces with an unscrupulous look, and his own face subconsciously stiffened, then he coughed twice: “Cough, cough…”

The next moment, four pairs of eyes in the room fixated on him.

Old Xia suddenly felt awkward again…

Especially when Keke turned her head, looking at him with discontent, Old Xia felt slightly defeated.

But what could he do?

Qiao Yu sat there properly, while his daughter continuously fidgeted; he couldn’t just ask his daughter to behave in front of Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi, could he?

So, he forced a smile and explained, “Throat, throat’s suddenly a bit itchy.”

The two adult women glanced away with a hint of a smile and then enthusiastically commenced their chat again.

But clearly, Xia Keke was more concerned about her dad: “Dad, if you’re not feeling well, go home and rest first.

When the results come out, let mom call and tell you.”

“No worries, checking the results is most important.” Old Xia responded seriously.

“Oh.” Xia Keke acknowledged and turned her head, whispering in Qiao Yu’s ear under Old Xia’s stern gaze.

Old Xia felt a vein pulsing on his forehead, feeling suffocated yet helpless, the saddened father could only revert his attention to the kids’ show on TV.

Very sad, feeling in this living room, he was the only redundant one.

But he couldn’t help but perk up his ears.

Luckily, what the two kids discussed seemed not too unacceptable.

“Brother, I also want to go to Xiao Zhou.”

“I’m fine with it, but aren’t you starting extra classes on July 8th?”

“How about I take some days off?”

“Don’t mess around, do you want to get into Qingbei in the future?”

“So have you decided yet?

Is Huaqing University better or Yanbei University?”

“What’s the rush?

School framework and such, you gotta talk it over with those in charge first to know.”

…

Old Xia pursed his lips.

Even though he accepted Qiao Yu’s strong learning capability, talking about Qingbei with such pick-and-choose jargon somewhat made him feel he was blowing bullshit.

Really, he almost wanted to take out his phone and record Qiao Yu’s words, then let him hear just what he was saying.

Even “framework” was thrown out there.

For ordinary folks, getting into any Qingbei would be like their ancestors’ graves emitting smoke, yet he still wanted to discuss frameworks first?

After dismissiveness comes concern, how did his good daughter buy into this set?

Although Qiao Yu isn’t a punk, this guy loves blowing bullshit!

And without even drinking yet, if he drinks a little, fearing Earth would belong to the Qiao Family!

Sigh…

Old Xia thought messily, suddenly heard his wife saying: “It’s six-thirty, should be able to check the scores now, Keke, try and see if you can.”

Feeling a long-awaited release, wanting to have a good talk with his daughter, Old Xia felt invigorated upon hearing this, finally enduring to the end.

He immediately urged: “Yes, yes, Keke, quickly check the scores.”

“Got it!” Xia Keke took out her phone from her pocket, opened WeChat.

Unlike the Qiao Family, the Xia Family had been eagerly anticipating score checking all day, long ago followed the official information to follow the score-releasing public number, Xingwei Education.

Following the operational prompt, clicked the government service flagship store; by now the three adults had gathered around the two kids.

Especially Old Xia and Liu Lu, both staring intently at Xia Keke’s hands operating the phone.

After clicking in, came directly the query for Xingnan Province cities’ high school entrance exam results, Xia Keke quickly clicked into the Star City tab, and indeed popped up the prompt to enter either the admission ticket number or student number.

Reaching this step indicated the official was timely, indeed enabling the score-checking service on time.

Quickly inputting all the information, Xia Keke hit the search button; the adults around even seemed to lighten their breaths…

“Eh?

669!

That’s 4 points higher than my estimated maximum score!”

“669?

Good, good, fantastic!

Let me see!”

Finishing up, Old Xia snatched the phone from Xia Keke and excitedly read aloud: “Chinese 115, Mathematics 116, English 95, Physics 66, Chemistry 46, Morality and Law 55, History 57, Biology 40, Geography 39, Physical Education 40, total 669.

My good daughter.”

“Congratulations, congratulations.

This score should surely secure the Big Four, right?” Qiao Xi said with a smile beside them.

“Thank you, oh dear, who can tell now?

The admission cut-off score hasn’t been announced yet, but it should be fine, right.” Mommy Keke was now smiling like a blossoming flower.

Though that’s true, the admission cutoff scores are usually announced by the end of July, but after the high school entrance exam a bunch of experts have already based on the difficulty of this year’s test, predicted this year’s cutoff score.

These experts are mostly within the education system, true experts, are usually very accurate with their predictions only off by a few points at most.

This was what Keke’s parents recently paid the most attention to on the internet.

Even with poor train wi-fi, they were scrolling furiously.

They naturally knew according to these experts’ predictions, the Big Four’s control score this year would roughly be around 655, and the Five Small’s control score would be around 645.

Xia Keke scored 669, basically having all high schools in Star City to choose from.

“Okay, okay, brother, it’s your turn to check your scores.”

Xia Keke took the phone from Old Xia’s hand, then handed it to Qiao Yu.

“What’s there to check for me?

Railway First Middle School is guaranteed, no suspense.” Qiao Yu said nonchalantly.

Indeed, without any expectancy value, naturally there wouldn’t be much interest.

Unless all the grading teachers went bonkers, otherwise, Qiao Yu was very certain he’d get into Railway First Middle School.

Yet Xia Keke was unfazed, loudly said: “Check it, come on, hurry!”

“Yeah, just while everyone’s here, check it.

Keke insisted on coming down just to check the scores with you.” The good mooded Old Xia also smiled and added.

“Oh…”
