Chapter 289: Chapter 289: There is Hope Chapter 289: Chapter 289: There is Hope After Gu Zhihan laid down his answer sheet, he turned his head to look at Luo Mengmeng beside him.

She was still looking at the answers, calculating her scores.

After estimating the score for each subject, she would write down the score for that subject.

Soon, the scores for all nine subjects were out.

Gu Zhihan glanced over them and quickly calculated her total score. Thinking it was good, he said to her, “You got 600 points this time.”

“Ah? Really?” Luo Mengmeng immediately lifted her head upon hearing this, her large eyes eyed him with some skepticism before she lowered her head again and picked up a pen, “I better calculate it again myself.”

Gu Zhihan watched her actions and couldn’t help shaking his head; this girl actually didn’t believe him!

Three minutes later, Luo Mengmeng finally finished calculating.

It was indeed the 600 points that Gu Zhihan had mentioned.

Luo Mengmeng was both thrilled and worried at this point: “According to the scores I estimated, can I get into School A?”

Gu Zhihan fell silent for a moment before saying, “There’s hope.”

But it was not certain.

Because in previous years, the admission scores for School A were around 600, 605, and 610.

“Sigh…” Luo Mengmeng let out a heavy sigh, naturally understanding that even if she truly scored that much, getting into School A was still uncertain.

But even with the risk, she still planned to apply to this school.

So, Luo Mengmeng resolutely filled in the four columns of the application form with “School A”, making it clear that she would accept no other.

When Gu Zhihan saw this, his brows immediately furrowed, “You’re not applying to any other schools?”

According to the way she filled it out, if she really didn’t get into School A, then she wouldn’t be able to go to any other high schools either, because the schools admit students based on parallel application choices.

If the score was not enough for the first-choice school, then it would move on to the second, third schools… Now, by filling in just one, she essentially cut off her own retreat.

“I don’t want to!” Luo Mengmeng shook her head decisively, then stuttered out her thoughts to Gu Zhihan, “If I can’t get into School A, then I, I, I just won’t go to school!”

If she couldn’t attend the same school as him, she had no interest in studying at all; she’d rather not attend any school.

Gu Zhihan’s brows instantly knitted tightly, and he tapped her head, “Don’t be ridiculous.”

While he spoke, his eyes fell on the application in front of her. He took it and changed the other three choices to different high schools.

Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but puff up her cheeks, speaking firmly, “It’s no use changing my choices; even if I don’t get into School A, I won’t go to any other high schools!”

Gu Zhihan, who was amending her choices with a pen, lifted his head and gave her a chilly glance upon hearing these words.

Luo Mengmeng fell silent, touching her nose and not daring to speak any further.

After some time, when he had finished altering her application, Luo Mengmeng moved her head closer to him and asked, “Gu Zhihan, you haven’t told me how much you estimated yourself to score.”

“Full marks, I guess…” Gu Zhihan said indifferently. After speaking, he picked up a pen to fill in his own application.

Luo Mengmeng had thought he would only put “School A” as his preference, but to her surprise, he filled in the remaining three options with different high schools.

And they were exactly the same as the three choices he gave her.

She couldn’t help sticking out her tongue in wonder, “With your score, you’re clearly stable for School A. Why go to the trouble of filling in so many other preferences?”

Even though the real middle school exams weren’t out yet and this was just a small estimation, she was confident that Gu Zhihan getting into School A would be absolutely no problem.
