Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 394: How Could Your Score Be Lower Than Mine?

"It’s okay, I’ll be careful. Besides, who knows, I might already be pregnant," Su Yijia said, placing a hand on her belly, a glow of maternal love illuminating her face. Both she and Qin Kaize were healthy, and he insisted on feeding her well every day. If she still hadn’t conceived after over a month, she’d start to wonder if her husband had some undetectable ailment.

Qin Kaize clearly shared her concerns, his deep gaze darkening further. "Then we need to be extra cautious; no more running around." He gently placed a hand on Su Yijia’s stomach, subtly reminding her.

Grandma Lin quickly nodded, "Right! Jiajia, take it slow when going up or down the stairs. Don’t run or jump around. The first few months of pregnancy are the most critical. If something happens, it could harm your health the most." Although she longed to hold her great-grandchild, Jiajia’s well-being was their top priority. Traveling to the Northwest and then to Jingdu City for college while pregnant would be exhausting.

However, Su Yijia’s earlier comment made it impossible for Grandma Lin to voice any objection to not going to the Northwest farm. Watching those around them return to their homes while Ze’s grandparents remained trapped on the farm felt unbearable.

Therefore, the two kids had to go. "Don’t worry, I’ve been looking forward to this baby for so long. If I’m really pregnant, I’ll definitely be extra careful," Su Yijia assured, raising her hand in promise.

As for the two people Qin Kaize worried about, she was less concerned. They were influential figures and wouldn’t confront her directly. If they attempted anything underhanded, her heightened senses would alert her. If someone tried to ambush her, she could always pull out her weapons from her space. If they disappeared, there would be no evidence.

She wouldn’t let herself be harmed by some insignificant people or face danger without trying to save herself immediately. If it came to it, she could always slip into her space. How to explain later was not her concern. If they tried to harm her, would they dare report it to the police? If word got out, those two would think they were just making excuses for their failure.

"Fine, as long as you two know what you’re doing," Grandma Lin said, feeling somewhat reassured. Although she couldn’t understand much of what they did, they had never encountered any problems in all this time.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law! The results are out at the entrance of the First High School! All the scores for the National College Entrance Examination taken in Hu City have been announced. Do you want to check?" Gao Huabin burst in excitedly.

"We’ve already received our admission notices," Su Yijia replied disinterestedly. She didn’t care much about her own score; after all, she knew how well she had done. But what about Qin Kaize? His score should be within their estimates, right?

"Already got the admission notice? That was fast!" Gao Huabin was surprised.

"Yes, it just arrived," Grandma Lin smiled, handing him the notice. Upon seeing Su Yijia’s, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Qing University? It’s really Qing University! Sister-in-law, you’re amazing!"

He quickly flipped through to find Qin Kaize’s. When he saw it, he was stunned into silence for half a minute, then reached out to touch the school name on the notice. "National University of Defense Technology! Big Brother, you got in! You really got in! When you graduate and return to the team, everyone will envy you!" His eyes reddened with envy as he punched Qin Kaize lightly.

He genuinely missed the days under Big Brother’s leadership. Unfortunately, he had been away from the team for too long, and his mind was filled with shady business.

"Alright." Qin Kaize lightly punched Gao Huabin’s shoulder in return.

Grandma Lin interjected, "Since the scores are out, let’s go check them. It’s still early for dinner. By this afternoon or tomorrow, the news will spread, and the school will be crowded." She was curious about how well the two kids had done, and the first release of scores after the resumption of the National College Entrance Examination was a rare memory.

"True, the sooner we go, the fewer people there’ll be. I’ll go change my shoes," Su Yijia said, turning to run back to her room.

Qin Kaize’s expression changed, and he immediately followed her, gently supporting her and seriously reminding her, "Be careful."

"I’m not that fragile! Grandma and Grandpa know that too," Su Yijia pouted playfully at him.

But Qin Kaize tightened his grip even more. "How are you not fragile? My wife is the most delicate."

Jiajia was strong and agile, but that didn’t change his belief that she deserved to be pampered.

The First High School wasn’t far from their current residence, just a twenty-minute walk. However, it had been nearly two hours since Gao Huabin had delivered the news.

At that moment, the announcement boards at the school gates were surrounded by layers of people, both inside and out. Over 110,000 people from Hu City and surrounding areas had taken the National College Entrance Examination.

The large red papers on the walls were filled with names and scores. Fortunately, Su Yijia and Qin Kaize’s scores were easy to find. Starting from the front, Qin Kaize’s name stood out prominently at the top of the list, with a total score of 473 out of 500.

Su Yijia’s name followed beneath, with a score of 456—exactly seventeen points lower. The gap made the first and second place, Qin Kaize and Su Yijia, particularly eye-catching.

"Big Brother, is this score a top scorer? Did you become the top student?!" Gao Huabin exclaimed excitedly.

"Are you Qin Kaize?" People nearby turned to the group at the back upon hearing his words. Without waiting for Qin Kaize to respond, they all rushed over, animated.

Qin Kaize’s demeanor instantly cooled. "Get Grandma and Grandpa out of here," he told Gao Huabin.

Without waiting for anyone to react, he took Su Yijia’s hand and headed outside. At this moment, his little wife was in the most delicate condition, and no matter what happened, he needed to protect Jiajia first.

Su Yijia noticed the crowd surging toward them and realized staying put was definitely unsafe.
