And even if you want to apply to schools abroad in the future, this is also a pretty important parameter, so as soon as this news came out, everyone was raring to go.

Although each class could pick three students, after that they still had to go through a selection at the whole faculty level, and in the end only five people would actually get to compete.

In the class where Su Weiyi was, the moment they heard the news, almost ninety percent of the people all turned their eyes to Xie Xiaoran.

The top student in their class was undisputed, right?

Xie Xiaoran acted very calm, but Su Weiyi knew she would definitely go all out. Maybe right now she didn’t care much about the glory of winning a prize, but she definitely cared about the prize money behind it.

Su Weiyi had only taken part in competitions when she was little, not after she grew up. She knew perfectly well what she was capable of, but she still wanted to give it a try. Competitions were the best touchstone for testing your level.

As expected, Xie Xiaoran chose oil painting, which she was best at. After a brief moment of thought, Su Weiyi chose watercolor, and so did Su Man.

The notice came out in March and the submissions weren’t due until May, so there was plenty of time.

Su Weiyi was busy with classes and the competition, while Sheng Yanxiao was focused on the independent enrollment exam. He was confident in himself, and the tutor only taught him some test-taking techniques. The independent enrollment was held before the college entrance exam, and since it was Q University’s independent enrollment, naturally the test site was at Q University.

When Sheng Yanxiao walked out after the exam, he called Su Weiyi. They had already agreed that after he finished, they would go eat together.

This year, because he was busy with exams, Sheng Yanxiao hadn’t really celebrated his birthday. Su Weiyi had also promised that once he was done, the two of them would go out and watch a movie together.

Sheng Yanxiao waited for a while outside the side gate of Q University, and soon saw the girl in a light blue shirt and white pleated skirt appear.

Su Weiyi was naturally cute. She didn’t exactly have a baby face, but her face looked very young. As she was now, if she tied her hair up and carried a backpack, forget pretending to be a high schooler—even pretending to be a middle schooler might pass.

Su Weiyi ran quickly up to Sheng Yanxiao. "Have you been waiting long? Sorry."

Sheng Yanxiao casually took her bag. "Let’s go."

The two of them hailed a cab to head downtown.

Su Weiyi didn’t ask how his exam went. She believed in him, and He didn’t bring it up either. After buying movie tickets, there were still more than twenty minutes before the show started, and Sheng Yanxiao’s gaze fell again on that row of claw machines outside.

"Do you still want one?"

Su Weiyi shook her head. "No, if we catch any more there won’t be any space left on my bed for me to sleep."

After she said that, something suddenly occurred to her and she asked, "Was that your first time playing these that day?"

The boy’s motion of drinking water paused for a second, then he nodded very calmly. "Of course."

Of course... that wasn’t a lie. It really had been his first time playing that day; it was just that when he put on a show for her, it wasn’t his first time anymore. And what she’d asked about was "that day." This was called the art of wording.

"Then you’re amazing."

Young Master Sheng raised an eyebrow. "I’ve always been amazing."

Su Weiyi: "..."

Because they were in a hurry, the movie they picked was a typical commercial flick, crammed with ads from start to finish. The actors were good-looking but couldn’t act, and it was painfully awkward to watch.

Halfway through, Sheng Yanxiao really couldn’t take it anymore. He turned and murmured by Su Weiyi’s ear, "Let’s go. I can’t watch this."

It wasn’t convenient to talk in the theater, so when he said this he naturally leaned in close to her ear, lowered his voice, and his warm breath brushed against the girl’s fair neck.
