Chapter 708 The painstaking effort of graduating early

When school was over, Xi Lanting came to pick her up. Seeing that she looked weak and exhausted, he didn't say anything and just handed her the thermos bucket.

The thermal bucket contains stewed rock sugar bird's nests.

Yun Qiao opened it and started eating.

"...Is the exam so tiring?" Xi Lanting asked beside him.

Yun Qiao drank several sips, maybe it was the rock sugar that gave her some strength, and she was finally able to answer Xi Lanting's words.

"They were noisy at noon. In fact, the questions were very simple, and the teacher took special care of us. After all, school had just started, so everyone might not have gotten into the mood yet." Yun Qiao said.

Xi Lanting: "Can you get full marks in the exam?"

"I got my diploma after just one year at a girls' middle school. How do you think I did it?" Yun Qiao couldn't help but feel proud.

Girls' high school is a four-year institution.

Generally, girls enter school at the age of twelve and graduate at the age of sixteen. After graduation, most girls will choose to get married and have children. It is rare for girls to go to college again.

Yun Qiao entered the school a little early, and it was her grandmother's connections that allowed her to get in.

But she was able to graduate in one year because of her nearly perfect scores in all subjects.

She got full marks in all her classes in the first semester. The teacher communicated with her privately and learned that she had completed all the courses on her own, so she arranged exams for her in different grade levels in the second semester.

She only missed two subjects by three points, and she received perfect marks in the other subjects.

What was bad was the Chinese language class. There was a writing question, and the teacher felt that although she answered the question well and quoted scriptures which was interesting, it was too long.

She is deliberately showing off her knowledge.

So she had points deducted in Chinese language classes twice.

The school and teachers agreed that Yun Qiao was one of those extremely gifted children, and forcing her to stay in school would do no good except to make her feel superior among other students.

Studying has become nothing more than leftovers for her.

And there is more to life than studying.

If a person maintains a sense of superiority for a long time in school, she may not be able to lower her attitude when she enters society, causing her to be an idiot in other aspects; and because of the mentality she has cultivated in school for a long time, she cannot listen to opinions and may become paranoid.

In this way, she will be extremely annoying and unable to live among normal people, and such a smart child will be ruined.

Her basic knowledge is indeed very good. The exams in the four-year course are all specially composed for her, so she doesn't have to worry about it. It may be more difficult than ordinary exams.

The fact that she got almost full marks meant that the school only hindered her and had no benefits, so she was allowed to graduate.

"Looking at how proud you are, you don't realize at all how hard your school has gone to let you graduate early," Xi Lanting said.

Yun Qiao had a mouthful of bird's nest in her mouth and asked him vaguely: "Are you trying to blame me again?"

Xi Lanting said seriously: "No."

Yun Qiao: "..."

I think you have.

She felt a little relieved and stopped drinking bird's nest. She was still waiting for dinner.

Today is Xi Lanting’s birthday.

Only Yun Qiao knows her birthday, and no one else knows.

The car went to a restaurant, which specializes in Ningbo cuisine. The private room is very quiet, spacious and bright, and the screens are genuine embroidery works by famous artists, which are very exquisite.

The seafood in Ningbo cuisine is pretty good.

Xi Zun called in advance to place an order, and after Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting were seated, the dishes began to arrive one after another.

Yellow croaker is a must in Ningbo cuisine, so we served two dishes, one with pickled cabbage soup and one with braised vegetables; crabs are also indispensable; and there are all kinds of seafood.

In addition to these, there are also vegetables and meat.

Among all kinds of snacks, rice with bean paste and eight-treasure rice can actually be considered a snack.

Yun Qiao liked this very much and asked Xi Lanting: "Do you want it, uncle Qi?"

"don't want."

"Then I'll eat it all." She brought it over directly with the plate.

Xi Lanting didn't eat much. He just poured himself a cup of Huadiao and drank it slowly.

Yun Qiao ate half a bowl of bean paste and eight-treasure rice. She felt a little full and had little interest in other food.

"It's your birthday today, and it's just the two of us. Don't you feel lonely?" Yun Qiao asked him tentatively, "Do you want me to ask a friend to come over and accompany you?"

Xi Lanting: "No need..."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to sit next to Yun Qiao.

In Ningbo cuisine restaurants, the arrangements are not round tables, nor traditional Chinese square tables, but long tables. The two of them were originally sitting opposite each other.

Xi Lanting suddenly came over and squeezed into the seat next to her.

Yun Qiao looked at him in confusion: "Do you want to get something?"
