Programs like Boyuan Base and the Wenchong Plan are only known to a part of the top students; naturally, Shen Qing and the arts-focused Ji Shaojun have no idea about them.

When Shen Qing asked the question fearfully, Xu Wenyao also became somewhat confused. Was Shen Qing so nervous because she believed Boyuan to be an unlawful place?

If Boyuan Base found out, they would likely feel quite helpless.

“No,” Xu Wenyao turned around, explaining to Shen Qing as gently as possible, “Boyuan Base is the most famous summer camp in Jiangjing, generally only top students can get in.”

Top students?

As Xu Wenyao mentioned these three words, Shen Qing was also perplexed.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She remembered Bai Lian’s persona in Beicheng, a woman of no academic or artistic merit, similar in character to Ji Mulan. When Bai Lian first came to Xiangcheng, Shen Qing disdained her.

Only later did she find out that Bai Lian was different from Ji Mulan.

But… what does “top student” have to do with Bai Lian?

Noticing Shen Qing’s confusion, Xu Wenyao calmed down, started the car again, and followed the navigation onto the main road, “So, Alian… studies there?”

The Ji Family always said that Bai Lian was studying hard.

Xu Wenyao and Xu En both thought she was at the library since the Jiangjing Library is well-stocked; Xu Wenyao even considered advising Bai Lian to study there.

But was she at Boyuan Base??

“She studies at Boyuan Base,” Ji Heng lowered the car window slightly, letting the cold wind blow in, and also doubted in his mind, “Is that really a place only for top students?”

Their family never brought up grades in front of Bai Lian.

Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun always thought that Bai Shaoke and Bai Shaoqi had impacted Bai Lian too much; she even switched to science for them, so they tried to avoid mentioning such sad topics.

And as for Bai Lian, the more she learned about modern knowledge, the more she realized how superficial her own understanding was.

They didn’t ask, and she never told her scores, only Jiang Fulai would ask her.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Yes,” Xu Wenyao nodded.

He looked at the rearview mirror quietly, feeling for the first time that even his usually steady family could be unreliable.

Asking them wouldn’t yield any information, but Xu Wenyao suddenly remembered the message Xu Zhiyue sent him last time, mentioning a very attractive girl at the special training class.

At the time, Xu Wenyao didn’t care about that message.

But now recalling it…

The museum was on the edge of Shimen District, some distance from Chang’an District, but luckily there was still time before traffic jams, so it took nearly forty minutes to reach Boyuan Base.

As soon as Xu Wenyao parked the car by the roadside, he saw Bai Lian coming out of Boyuan Base.

He: “…”

It wasn’t just Xu Wenyao; Ji Heng and the other three were also quite silent, except for Jiang He who was watching Bai Lian with shining eyes.

Ji Shaojun handed back the candied haw to Jiang He, then silently offered it to Bai Lian.

Jiang He had eaten three haws off the stick, revealing its pointed end. When they got on the car, Ji Shaojun had taken away the candied haw.

Bai Lian looked down at the candied haw, pausing for a moment, not taking it immediately.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Not eating?” Ji Shaojun asked.

It was during the memorial service when he saw them laid out, and upon coming out, he saw Jiang He wanting to eat them, so he had bought some for the kids as well.

Regaining her senses, Bai Lian took the candied haw, looked up, and gave Ji Shaojun a rare warm smile, “I’ll eat.”

It had been a long time since an elder bought her one.

Ji Shaojun pondered to himself.

“Alian,” Shen Qing could never keep her thoughts to herself, “Wenyao said that this place is only for top students, is that right?”

“Yes,” Ji Shaojun added from the side, “Wenyao said that to be admitted here, students must be exceptionally talented, with most even having the potential to compete for the national top exam scores.”

Xu Wenyao nodded.

“No,” Bai Lian was well aware of her current abilities; she was still far behind in biology and chemistry, “I can’t compare to them.”

She unhurriedly unwrapped the candy haw stick.

A very honest answer.

Next to her, Jiang He stopped munching on his candied haw and looked up at Bai Lian in disbelief.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“I knew it,” Shen Qing nodded, then seemed a bit regretful, “You just shifted from arts to science; how could you suddenly become a top student. But that’s okay, Alian, we take things one step at a time.”

Their emotions were like riding a roller coaster.

The three of them didn’t understand, but Xu Wenyao knew very well about Boyuan’s system, “Although the hardest part to get into Boyuan is the recommendation, one still needs to reach a certain score to enter, applying two months in advance.”

“I hadn’t reached the standard; my comprehensive science wasn’t passing at that time,” Bai Lian said nonchalantly, “But I’ve always had perfect scores in math, so Boyuan made an exception and let me in.”

Xu Wenyao was extremely shocked, “Math perfect score? Exceptional admission?”

Bai Lian looked at Xu Wenyao with surprise, not really understanding his expression, “Yeah.”

There were many students at Boyuan Base more rounded than her, and the tests she took were only C level, not a big deal, right?

Xu Wenyao: “…”

No, to be admitted by Boyuan as an exception, one must have the caliber to at least get into Jiangjing University.

Hadn’t the Ji Family always stated that Bai Lian’s grades were poor?

Especially Ji Mulan, worried that Bai Lian couldn’t get into university, was even planning to send her to an international high school and arrange for her to study abroad.

“`

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

You’re suggesting someone who could get a direct admission to Jiangjing University attend a private international high school?

Xu Wenyao felt that Ji Mulan was being ridiculous.

“If you can get into Boyuan Base, you should know about the Wen Chong plan. Were you offered a direct admission to Jiangjing University?” Xu Wenyao couldn’t help asking. This was what shocked him.

Mentioning Boyuan Base, the three from the Ji Family were able to restrain themselves.

But as soon as Jiangjing University was brought up, Shen Qing couldn’t hold back any longer, “Jiangjing University? She could get a direct admission to Jiangjing University?”

This was a school Shen Qing didn’t even dare to dream of. When Bai Shaoke was admitted to Jiangjing University, the Bai Family had the media release news for two months straight. And now, Xu Wenyao was saying Bai Lian could get a direct admission to Jiangjing University?

“Oh, that,” Bai Lian understood the point of Xu Wenyao’s shock and calmly explained, “I didn’t join. I plan to take the college entrance examination.”

“What?” Xu Wenyao frowned, “Didn’t your school tell you about the Wen Chong plan?”

“They did,” Bai Lian bit into her candied haw and explained leisurely, “But I don’t like the major they offered.”

Xu Wenyao, who heard someone being picky about Jiangjing University for the first time: “…”

He involuntarily shifted his gaze to the other three members of the Ji Family.

“Alian, are you really going to take the college entrance exam?” Ji Heng positioned himself behind Shen and the other one, in a good mood, he lit a cigarette and took a puff with squinted eyes.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Bai Lian twirled the candied haw stick in her hand, “Yes.”

When Bai Lian switched her major from arts to sciences, neither Ji Heng nor Ji Shaojun had ultimately stopped her. Now she chose not to join the Wen Chong plan, and the two still did not interfere with Bai Lian’s choice.

As for Shen Qing.

She thought even Bai Lian skating on the street was a good thing, so what could anyone expect from her?

Xu Wenyao drove back to the Xu Family in a disheveled state.

Ji Heng and the other two, along with Jiang He and Bai Lian, toured the Boyuan Base and then went to the base’s cafeteria for dinner before taking the bus back to the hotel.

Bai Lian saw the group out the gate before she returned to the classroom.

On the way, she connected her Bluetooth headset and launched her vocabulary app to start memorizing technical terms.

A message from Chief Chen popped up on the home screen of her phone.

Chief Chen: [Miss Bai, I have just returned to Jiangjing]

He took the time to return two days before Xu En’s wedding.

Chief Chen: [Tomorrow, I’ll go ice fishing with Uncle Ji. Would you like to join us?]

Tomorrow morning she has classes, and in the afternoon, there is a lecture by an academician from the Ma Institute.

Bai Lian listened to vocabulary words while slowly responding: [No time]

[You guys have fun]

Chief Chen was a bit disappointed: [Alright then.]

**

Bai Lian’s study group.

Wang Xu finally couldn’t help but ask Tang Ming, “Where did Sister Bai go?”

After the academic report ended at noon, Bai Lian hadn’t returned.

Normally, everyone didn’t care what Bai Lian did, but today, everyone was too agitated to settle down for studies since Bai Lian and He Wen had worked on a mathematical model together, especially Wang Xu.

“Her?” While focusing on a research paper, Tang Ming answered without lifting his head, “She was practicing the piano in the dormitory in the afternoon, she should be coming over soon.”

Whenever Bai Lian had an inspiration, she quickly noted it down. Practicing the piano and reading reviews were her ways to relax between solving problems.

“Practicing the piano?” Wang Xu couldn’t associate the activity with Bai Lian, “Why is she practicing the piano?”

Not just the others, but even Song Min found it outrageous. Not to mention that students at Boyuan Base wouldn’t usually spend time practicing the piano, Song Min also remembered something Bai Qiming once said.

The incident of Bai Lian sleeping through her zither lesson and driving her teacher away had become a joke among the Bai Family members.

As they were talking, the door was gently pushed open.

The study group members, gathered around a couple of tables, all snapped their heads up and stared intently at the classroom door.

Bai Lian, memorizing vocabulary with lowered eyes, casually closed the classroom door with her phone.

Seeing Bai Lian’s return, Wang Xu was the first to grow restless, “Sister Bai, how come you and Senior He Wen worked on a mathematical model together? Do you two actually know each other? How come you never mentioned it before?”

With his question, everyone’s gaze was fixated on Bai Lian.

Especially Song Min, who quietly watched her. He had always doubted her ability to get into Boyuan.

Until today, He Wen was someone he looked up to with great admiration.

In front of He Wen, even Bai Shaoke, the pride of the Bai Family, was just an ordinary person.

He never imagined that Bai Lian would actually know He Wen.

Bai Lian took a seat between Tang Ming and Ning Xiao, “Not really acquainted, just online friends. He had a model but couldn’t find a collaborator, so he asked me.”

“I see,” Wang Xu nodded, somewhat understanding.

After all, that was He Wen, someone you couldn’t just meet if you wanted to.

“Why would he look for you?” Song Min gazed deeply at Bai Lian as he asked.

Bai Lian ignored Song Min.

Beside her, Tang Ming, with his legs crossed and his right hand resting on the table, glanced at Song Min, “Sister Bai always gets full marks in math. Why do you think he would look for her?”
