Chapter 263 - Choosing, Haha, Women
The phone call connected quickly, and Jiang Hao inquired,
“Wan'er, how did you do on the test?”
From the other end, Rong Wan'er's gentle voice came through.
“I did as usual, no surprises—scored 640 points!”
Jiang Hao responded with enthusiasm,
“That's fantastic! With a score like that, you can pretty much pick any domestic university you like!”
Rong Wan'er nodded on her end before posing her own question.
“Yeah!”
“And how about you, Jiang Hao?”
Jiang Hao hesitated, unsure of how to respond. After a brief pause, he spoke tentatively,
“I guess I did… okay, too?”
Not wanting to disappoint her, he tried to gloss over his performance and quickly shifted the conversation.
“So, Wan'er, which university are you thinking about?”
But Rong Wan'er had picked up on the uncertainty in Jiang Hao's voice. Startled and concerned, she wondered if he hadn't done well.
“No changing the subject. Tell me your score first, then I'll share which university I'm considering.”
Jiang Hao sighed, feeling somewhat cornered. He realized that with the college entrance exam results due soon, there was no point in hiding it.
?”Well, I got… over 700 points,” he said hesitantly.
Soong Wan let out a sigh of relief.
“Over 700? How much exactly?”
“Forty-seven.”
“Cough cough…”
A cough erupted from Soong Wan's side of the line as soon as Jiang Hao finished.
His concern grew.
“Wan'er, are you okay?”
Soong Wan rolled her eyes adorably, at a loss for words.
747!
Was this the same Jiang Hao who was often labeled as a slacker?
And with such an impressive score, he still lacked confidence, making her worry for nothing.
Men!
“No, I've got something to do!”
With that, Soong Wan hung up.
The line went dead, leaving Jiang Hao staring at his phone, bewildered.
“Seriously? Was Wan'er's reaction a bit over the top?”
“Darn, she didn't even tell me which university she's interested in!”
Jiang Hao was left feeling frustrated.
Just then, his phone buzzed with a new message alert.
Wan'er: I'm going with Jiangbei University. How about you?
Jiang Hao couldn't help but smile as he read it.
“Heh, women!”
“Say no all you want, but actions speak louder, huh?”
He quickly typed out a response.
“Wow, talk about being on the same wavelength! I'm also leaning towards Jiangbei University!”
Whether Soong Wan took Jiang Hao's playful words seriously was another story altogether.
Jiang Hao was in the midst of a lively chat with Soong Wan when his mother burst in, her face alight with excitement.
“Hao Hao, Shuimu University just called. They're offering all sorts of incentives for you to attend. What do you think? Are you interested?”
Shuimu University might have once been his dream school, but now, with his capabilities, any university would do.
Besides, Jiangbei was closer, which made it even more appealing.
“Mom, with my abilities, I'd thrive anywhere. That's why I chose Jiangbei University—it's closer to home!”
“Jiangbei might not be as prestigious as Shuimu, but it's still a top ten contender among the nation's universities. So it's definitely not a bad choice!”
Jiang Hao explained honestly. Mrs. Jiang took a moment to consider, then nodded in agreement.
Her son was all grown up, and she was ready to support his decisions. She then asked for guidance.
“So, what should I tell the Shuimu University teacher?”
Jiang Hao paused to think.
“For now, let's not say anything. Just play it like you're out of the loop. I'll handle the rest.”
