Chapter 2022: Extra: A Brand New Life 137 Chapter 2022: Extra: A Brand New Life 137 The little girl thought about how Mrs. Zhou originally planned to move to City S at the beginning of this year, but it was because of her that they didn’t. After a moment of silence, she nodded to herself. She needed to get to City S on her own merit; she had already caused enough trouble for Mrs. Zhou’s family.

During the two days of the college entrance exam, Zhou Ping returned to City A. As soon as the exam was over, without waiting for the results, Zhou Ping moved to City S with his mom and the little girl.

Now, his entire family was in City S, so there was no need to travel back and forth for holidays anymore.

About half a month later, the college entrance exam results were released. Zhou Ping, holding the little girl’s admission ticket, was about to check her scores, but before he could access the system, the little girl’s phone rang. It was a call from her homeroom teacher.

Zhou Ping immediately knew that the little girl must have performed well, and she might even be the top scorer in the province, which would explain the teacher’s eagerness.

Moreover, during the last few exams of the third year of high school, including several joint exams with other schools, the little girl’s scores had increased, and she had ranked first.

As long as the little girl performed as usual, becoming the provincial top scorer was almost a certainty.

The little girl answered the call, and indeed, she was the provincial top scorer.

Zhou Ping also entered her admission ticket number, but sure enough, he couldn’t find the scores.

Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and Ms. Zhou were ecstatic, insisting that they must celebrate big.

Because it was time to choose a university, Zhou Ping accompanied the little girl back to City A. They treated her teachers and classmates to a meal. There were many banners hung at City No. 1 Middle School, all celebrating the little girl as the newly minted top scorer of the province. The principal and teachers were all beaming with joy. The little girl opted for University S, but to Zhou Ping’s surprise, she wanted to major in mathematics and planned to minor in physics as her second major during her university years.

Even though Zhou Ping himself was an alumnus of University S, a testament to his own intelligence, he still couldn’t understand why the little girl wanted to study such complex subjects. However, whatever major the little girl chose was actually fine; as long as she liked it, the family had no objections, and he naturally had no complaints either. But if he had to choose, he definitely wouldn’t pick the mathematics department, and even if he did study mathematics, he wouldn’t take on a minor in physics as well–it was just too mentally taxing.

Initially, he thought the little girl was delicate, small, and soft, and even though he knew she had good grades, even being the provincial top scorer, he just thought she was smart and didn’t make much of it. But now, with the little girl’s choice of major and the subjects she wanted to learn, Zhou Ping suddenly felt that the little girl, like his friends Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, was a formidable person.

He found himself quite impressed.

University S was Zhou Ping’s alma mater, so of course, it would be Zhou Ping who would take the little girl to report to University S. But before freshman registration, there was a long vacation, during which he wanted to take the little girl on a trip as a gift for her graduation from high school and for becoming the top scorer. It just so happened that Zhou Ping needed to go abroad for a business trip to discuss a collaboration, so he brought the little girl along. They stayed abroad for over a month before returning.

Upon return, it was time to hold a celebration for the academic advancement.

Since they had already treated the teachers and classmates to a meal in City A, there was no need to invite them again. The academic advancement celebration they were holding now was for relatives and friends in City S.

Because of Zhou Ping’s connections, since the little girl had arrived in City S, she had gradually become acquainted with people like Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Yu Zi, Si Yan, and so on. Therefore, on the day of the celebration, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Yu Zi, Si Yan, and others were all in attendance.

Before they knew it, it was already time for University S to start the academic year for freshmen.

The little girl wanted to live on campus for all four years of university, returning home only during the holidays. Although Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and the rest of the family were concerned, they also felt that living on campus would allow her to interact more with classmates and teachers, improving her social skills. They couldn’t expect the little girl to stay under their wings forever…
