Chapter 217 College Entrance Examination
"Oh, godmother, you flatter me! Anyway, I don't usually have anything particularly important to do, so I'm just killing time."
Moreover, Zhao Di is in the crucial final year of high school, with a very heavy workload and fierce competition for higher education. Helping her copy down her mistakes saves her a lot of time and allows her to focus more on tackling other challenging problems. Why not do it?
That year, Lin Fangfang frequently participated in the company's management and often helped handle some of the company's business.
Because Zhaoyuan is more patient in educating children, the children are more willing to listen to him.
The day was sunny and breezy, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows.
Zhao Yuan was busy at the company as usual, but today's work went exceptionally smoothly, and he actually finished all his tasks ahead of schedule.
I glanced at my watch and realized that there was still some time before I had to pick up Zhao Zhaodi from school, but it was almost time anyway.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan decided to set off ahead of schedule to go to the school where Zhao Zhaodi was located.
When he arrived at the school gate, he parked his car steadily on the side of the road.
At that moment, a thought popped into his mind—he wanted to go inside the campus and take a look.
And so, Zhao Yuan quickly headed towards the campus.
A short while later, Zhao Yuan quietly arrived outside Zhao Zhaodi's classroom.
He stood there quietly, peering into the classroom through the bright window.
The students were all hunched over their desks, intently writing their homework, and the classroom was filled with a strong atmosphere of learning.
Zhao Zhaodi sat upright in the second row, her petite figure drawing particular attention.
Just as Zhao Yuan was watching intently, suddenly, a male classmate behind Zhao Zhaodi reached out and gently nudged her back with the nib of his pen.
Zhao Zhaodi seemed to sense something and quickly turned to look at the boy.
Immediately afterwards, the boy furtively handed Zhao Zhaodi a note.
Zhao Zhaodi took the note without hesitation and quickly unfolded it to read it.
However, just a few seconds later, she crumpled the note into a ball with a blank expression and casually threw it into the trash can next to her.
Witnessing all this, Zhao Yuan felt a sudden shock, as if struck by lightning.
He couldn't help but start letting his mind wander:
"Who is this boy? Why is he passing a note to Zhao Di? What does it say?" Countless questions swirled and intertwined in his mind, instantly making his thoughts a jumbled mess.
Just then, the classroom door was slowly pushed open, and the teacher walked in with light steps.
Zhao Yuan thought to himself, "It's probably time for get out of class to end." Sure enough, not long after, a clear and melodious school bell rang throughout the campus, instantly transforming the once quiet and orderly school into a bustling hub of activity…
With lightning speed, Zhao Yuan dodged and quickly hid around the corner.
He stood quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on what lay ahead.
Zhao Zhaodi was seen walking out of the classroom chatting and laughing with a group of classmates, while the boy who had just passed her the note followed behind her and her group along with several other boys.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan tiptoed after them, but kept a certain distance and remained silent.
Soon, the group arrived at the school gate.
Zhao Zhaodi stopped and began looking around, as if searching for something.
A moment later, a joyful smile appeared on her face—she had spotted her familiar car.
Zhao Zhaodi waved enthusiastically to her classmates, then turned and walked towards the car.
She reached out and gently pulled on the car door, only to find that it wouldn't open.
Just then, Zhao Yuan, who had been quietly following behind, ran forward quickly and shouted:
"Oh dear, I really need to pee, so I ran to the toilet!"
As he spoke, he skillfully took out his keys and opened the car door.
Without saying a word, Zhao Zhaodi got into the car. After she was seated, the father and daughter started the car and slowly drove home.
Throughout the journey, Zhaoyuan appeared to be focused on driving, but in reality, he was constantly agonizing over how to ask his daughter about the boy who passed him the note.
A stifling silence filled the carriage, as if time had frozen.
After a long silence, Zhao Yuan finally mustered the courage to break it. He cleared his throat and asked, feigning nonchalance:
"Zhaodi, when Dad came out of the bathroom just now, he saw a lot of young couples. What are your thoughts on puppy love?"
After saying that, he secretly observed his daughter's reaction through the rearview mirror.
While casually fiddling with the pen in her hand, Zhao Zhaodi said somewhat impatiently:
"Dad, why are you worrying so much? Just relax, how could I possibly be in a relationship? Right now, all I can think about is getting into my dream university."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes, as if she thought her father's worries were a bit unnecessary.
Hearing his daughter's resolute words, Zhao Yuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction appearing on his face, and said slowly:
"My precious daughter is so smart and sensible! I was your age when I was a dad, so I know it's perfectly normal for people your age to have feelings for the opposite sex."
However, now is not the right time to talk about love. It's better to keep this vague feeling in your heart for now.
After all, this is a crucial moment concerning one's future and destiny. Only by striving to get into a satisfactory university can one stand higher and see further in the future, naturally allowing one to meet more outstanding people.
As Zhao Yuan drove, he kept repeating these principles to himself.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Zhaodi sighed helplessly and replied:
"Oh, Dad, stop nagging. I'm not stupid; I understand perfectly well!"
Seeing his daughter's response, Zhao Yuan's mood instantly became relaxed and cheerful, and his previously tense nerves gradually relaxed.
However, although he didn't say much on the surface, he didn't completely believe his daughter's promise.
As someone who has been through it all, he knows that the minds of teenagers are unpredictable. So he secretly made up his mind to pay more attention to and guide his daughter in the future, and never let her go astray at such an important juncture in her life.
Back home, the familiar scene came into view again, as if time had stood still here, and life was as peaceful and regular as ever.
The daily routine remains almost unchanged, giving people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind and reassurance.
