Chapter 91 Three Toasts as a Sign of Respect

2004 Words
On the first day of the college entrance examination, the Shinese and the mathematics exam differ so drastically in terms of difficulty that everyone was astounded. No one had expected that this year's mathematics exam would be so difficult. Even Xinlu Province's famous professional teams which predicted the test contents, renowned teachers, and experts had not expected such a situation. When Lu Yao arrived at the entrance of Zhiyang Secondary School, the topics of most people's discussions were no longer about getting into a university. Instead, they discussed with each other which tutoring courses to take after the college entrance examination. Some students were exchanging ideas about which school to attend the next year to improve their studies together. Although Lu Yao knew that he would definitely make it this year, when he saw these people, he felt sorry for them. "If I didn't have these fortuitous experiences, would I be like these people? Perhaps I would also be discussing with them where to go to make up for my studies at this time, or I wouldn't even have a chance to study for an extra year." Lu Yao thought to himself. Today, Wang Ping did not come because he had something to do, and only Lu Yiqian accompanied Lu Yao to the examination site. Lu Yiqian forced himself not to mention the exam. Instead, he chatted with Lu Yao about some trivial things that he would never mention usually. For example, he told Lu Yao that the daughter of the Li family in the community had given birth to a boy and in the past, a certain person in the slums who bought a lottery won a huge sum of money and his whole family moved to another city and so on. Lu Yao also understood what his Godfather was trying to do, so the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the examination. There was about half an hour to go before the exam began. All the examinees began to walk towards the exam rooms one after another under the hopeful gazes of their parents. . . "Lu Yao, wait for me. I have something to tell you!" Not long after Lu Yao entered Zhiyang Secondary School, he heard a familiar voice behind him. He stopped and turned around to look at the boy. "Lu Yao, I have something to say to you. I hope you can give me a chance, okay?" "Chu Minghui, if you have anything to say, just say it. The exam is about to begin!" Lu Yao said to him expressionlessly. It turned out that Chu Minghui also took the exam at Zhiyang Secondary School. When he saw Lu Yao, he ran over to greet him. "Lu Yao, let's make peace!" Chu Minghui said. "Make peace?" Lu Yao did not expect that Chu Minghui was still able to say words like "make peace" after doing those dirty things to him. "That's right, Lu Yao. I have been thinking about it for a long time. It was all my fault. I was blind and missed the opportunity to be your good friend. Now I regret it. I waited for you here today just to make an apology to you. I hope that you will forgive me for what I did to you in the past..." As he spoke, Chu Minghui bent down towards Lu Yao, apparently making an apology to him. "There's no need for that. I didn't take those things to heart!" Lu Yao said expressionlessly. Now that Lu Yao had experienced so many things, he was no longer the Lu Yao two years ago. He did not want to have anything to do with someone like Chu Minghui. Because he understood a common yet unchanging principle. A leopard couldn't change its spots. Similarly, a dog would always like eating s**t. And in Lu Yao's eyes, Chu Minghui was just a dog that didn't bark but bite. When you had a higher status than him, he would obediently wag its tail. But when you were down and out, he would not hesitate to devour you. Chu Minghui was exactly such a despicable creature. "Lu Yao, I mean it. You must believe me!" Chu Minghui saw that Lu Yao did not show any trace of joy or disgust that he had expected. He was a little anxious. "Fine!" Lu Yao looked at the clock on the top of the school building and said impatiently, "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I have to enter the exam room." Seeing that Lu Yao was about to leave, Chu Minghui immediately ran in front of Lu Yao and blocked his path. Lu Yao was a little unhappy and he looked at Chu Minghui. "Lu Yao, I know that your target is Xijing University. It just so happens that I also like Xijing city very much. Moreover, I also applied for Xijing University in the last recommendation exam. In this way, it is very likely that we will become schoolmates again. Therefore, I really want to clear up our previous misunderstandings. I want to apologize to you sincerely. I hope you can accept my apology!" Chu Minghui looked really anxious. "I accept your apology!" Lu Yao was afraid that if this continued, Chu Minghui would create some trouble. If Chu Minghui made him late for the exam, then he would suffer a great loss. Therefore, he looked at Chu Minghui's face and said, "Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I really have to enter the exam room. You should also hurry. The exam is about to begin." Chu Minghui knew Lu Yao well. He knew that Lu Yao was kind in the past. It seemed that Lu Yao had really accepted his apology. Therefore, he took out two unopened bottles of sports drinks from a rather high-end black backpack he carried. He handed one bottle to Lu Yao and said, "The exam is about to begin and we can't drink wine. But since you have forgiven me, we can use these two bottles of drinks as wine. After we toast to each other, our relationship will be as good as ever!" After Chu Minghui finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yao with a sincere expression. Lu Yao didn't know what to do. He helplessly took the bottle of sports drink in Chu Minghui's hand. He looked at it and found that it was unopened. After taking it, he shook it with his hand. There was nothing special about it. He directly opened it. Because if Chu Minghui added something into the drink, with Lu Yao's eyesight, he should be able to see some impurities or precipitation when he shook the bottle. However, there was nothing inside at this time. In order to buy time, Lu Yao didn't want to continue talking with Chu Minghui about the past. However, Lu Yao still maintained a high level of vigilance in his heart. "Boom!" When Chu Minghui saw Lu Yao opened the bottle, he also opened the sports drink in his hand and hurriedly clinked bottles with Lu Yao. Chu Minghui took a sip first and then tightened the cap again. Lu Yao also took a small sip. There was nothing unusual. He raised his head and took a sip before screwing the cap on the bottle. As the drink was in his mouth, Lu Yao carefully examined the taste, but there was still nothing unusual. However, Lu Yao had a bad feeling about this. Could it be that there was something wrong with this unopened bottle of drink? At this time, Lu Yao had no time to think about it. He pretended to choke on the drink that he had not swallowed and spat it on Chu Minghui. Chu Minghui was spat all over by Lu Yao. His clothes were wet and he immediately took out a wet towel from his pocket and began to wipe his clothes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and accidentally choked. I'm really sorry. I wet your clothes. Let me wipe it for you!" Lu Yao lifted up the corner of his clothes and immediately helped Chu Minghui wipe his clothes. "It's fine, it's fine. Since we are already friends, this is nothing. Besides, it's just a matter of clothes. I'll just throw it away." Chu Minghui said with a smile as he continued to wipe his clothes. "I am truly sorry. I have wasted all of your good intentions." Lu Yao pretended to be apologetic and said, "How about this? The ancient people drank three cups of wine in succession as a sign of respect. Since I accidentally spat out a mouthful of drink on you just now, how about we taking another two sips, and it can be considered a perfect ending for this matter!" Chu Minghui did not expect Lu Yao to say those words. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately said excitedly, "No problem. After that, we will be good brothers for the rest of our lives." Just like that, Lu Yao and Chu Minghui each unscrewed the caps of their sports drinks in their hands and gulped down two mouthfuls. Due to the fact that Lu Yao had spat out a mouthful just now, he apologized and took one extra sip. When Chu Minghui saw Lu Yao doing this, he was overjoyed. However, although he said that Lu Yao didn't need to drink more, he didn't have any intention of stopping Lu Yao. After Lu Yao took another big gulp, Chu Minghui said with a smile, "Alright, Lu Yao, the exam is about to begin. Hurry up and go to the exam room. I have to be there too. After the college entrance examination, we will have a good drink until we get drunk together!" Chu Minghui emphasized the word "until" in a strange way. "No problem. If we are still in the mood, I will definitely drink with you!" Lu Yao said with a smile. Chu Minghui did not say anything else. He turned around and walked quickly towards the school building. When Chu Minghui turned around, Lu Yao clearly saw the smug smile on his face. At this time, Lu Yao was also smiling happily. Seeing Chu Minghui walking away, Lu Yao muttered, "I hope that after the exam, you will really be in the mood to drink with me!" . . Lu Yao and Chu Minghui both chose science as their major, so their third exam was a comprehensive test in science subjects. Fifteen minutes before the exam, two supervising teachers walked into the classroom with folders in their hands and then repeated the same examination process as before. For unknown reasons, the two teachers, Teacher He who had a livid face and the strict teacher with blood-red eyes, who had been supervising the examination yesterday, were not here today. The supervising teachers announced exam rules, checked the students' exam admission tickets against their photos, and opened the seal on the test paper. Then, they began to distribute the test papers and told them how to write important examinee information correctly. At exactly nine o'clock, the broadcast announced that the entrance examination had started. The first test on day 2 of the college entrance examination began. The comprehensive test on science subjects had a total score of 300 points, just like the comprehensive test on liberal arts. The contents were very diverse, almost covering all the knowledge points in all the textbooks of physics, chemistry, and biology in the past three years. Even some of the knowledge points in junior high school were also involved. The comprehensive test on science had always been a nightmare for all examinees. Since Shina began to implement the division of liberal arts and sciences in senior high schools, there had rarely been any candidate who could get above 280 points in Shuangta City. Only a few exceptional students in some cities where education was highly developed could score above 290 points.
