Novel Full Chapter 319 - Gone With The Wind
Chapter 319: Gone With The Wind
“No, no, no, Ye would definitely not treat me like that. He must have been watering the flowers without noticing me! Or, or perhaps Elder Lu’s hands trembled!”
Song Yaqin made several guesses. Her subconscious didn’t even consider that Lu Ye was beginning to detest her.
Hence, when she finished changing her clothes, she chalked up the entire thing as an accident. She then kept on pondering about how to find an opportunity to visit the Lu family.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan studied quietly in the classroom.
Jiang Yue, who was next to her, stretched out and said, “Gu Yan, you’re working so hard. We’re about to take the exam soon. Everyone has stopped doing the practice questions recently.”
“I stopped studying too. I’m spending the rest of my time reading a novel and relaxing.” Gu Yan gave out a smile and waved the book in her hands.
“What is this? Classic English literature. That is not relaxing. You are actually practicing English.” Jiang Yue was completely impressed by Gu Yan after being her deskmate and dormmate for a few months.
She raised her thumb. “Gu Yan, you are my idol.”
Gu Yan smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Yue thought about it. She couldn’t study anymore, so she took out the exam guide. “We will have a pre-requisite exam tomorrow. By then, only a few students will be able to take the cosmic alliance exam. But I don’t think we have anything to worry about. By the way, are you absolutely set on getting admitted to the First Empire Academy?”
“Mhm.”
In the 1980s, not a lot of people had the opportunity to take the entrance examination. After all, this kind of system was only revived in 1977.
As such, they resorted to conducting pre-requisite examinations per region in order to save money. It functioned as a mock exam, but it could really get you disqualified.
Fewer students were filtered out in the prestigious academy. Nevertheless, nearly half of them will be barred from taking the official entrance examination.
Among the students who were participating, only less than 20% would get admitted to the First Empire Academy.
This situation was equivalent to thousands of troops crossing a bridge consisting of a single plank.
However, some people would participate in the entrance examination every year. This was a different case.
Gu Yan put her books down and looked at Jiang Yue.
“Jiang Yue, are you certain you want to become a teacher?”
“Mhm, yes. I have discussed it with my family. I’m applying for the Chinese Literature course in the First Empire Academy. My family members all support me. Now, I just hope I can do well in the exam.”
“You definitely can.”
As the two conversed, Sun Xingyu approached them. She said, “Gu Yan, Principal Gao wants to see you.”
“Oh, sure.”
Sun Xingyu glanced at the book Gu Yan just put down. She suddenly raised the corners of her lips. “You really like ‘Gone with the Wind’?”
“I have read ‘Jane Eyre’ too. I almost cried while reading ‘La Dame aux Camélias’ as well.”
Sun Xingyu was speechless. “They are all in English, right? The amount of reading you have done is amazing.”
Gu Yan didn’t respond. She had read a lot of classical literature, but she did most of the reading prior to her rebirth.
After arriving at Principal Gao’s office, Sun Xingyu handed a file to him and left.
Gu Yan looked at Principal Gao. “Principal Gao, what’s going on?”
