Chapter 1076 The College Entrance Exam
How could there be none? Isn't she the one?
Zhouzhou casually threw a purification talisman to clear the remaining evil energy from Noah's lingering spirit, and she understood the meaning behind his last gaze. She couldn't help but curl her lips in disdain. It was such a strange reaction.
As for Skinny Monkey, he was actually on Noah's side. He had never seen a high school student like Zhouzhou.
But he wouldn't dare say that out loud; Zhouzhou would definitely make a scene if she heard it.
It would take a few more hours to return to Jing City. Zhouzhou put down the small desk in front of her and took out a test paper that Qin Er had prepared for her. She started solving the problems right away, with Noah's body lying at her feet.
Skinny Monkey and the others were already used to this. Over the years, Zhouzhou had often gone to school during the day, completed missions at night, and caught up with homework on the way back. It was only because she was exceptional that she could handle such a high-intensity schedule. If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed long ago.
Despite juggling both missions and schoolwork, Zhouzhou's grades were excellent. Every exam she took, she came in first. This time, she was determined to take the top spot in the college entrance exam!
Meanwhile, in the Qin family household, Grandma Qin glanced at the time and grew anxious. "The exam is about to start. Why hasn't Zhouzhou returned yet?"
Qin Lie, however, was not worried at all. With such an important matter, Zhouzhou would definitely come back in time.@@@@
He didn't say anything, but Grandma Qin was not happy. "Is there something you're hiding from me? Why does Zhouzhou always go out to play?"
"Playing is one thing, but every time she goes out, she turns off her phone. Who does that?" She didn't believe them and felt they were trying to fool her. "Besides, every time Zhouzhou goes out, she doesn't bring anyone with her—not even you, her dad. And you don't even seem jealous. That's strange."
"Something's not right. This is very strange."
Qin Lie was about to speak when Grandpa Qin walked over and said, "Here, the clothes have arrived. Do you want to take a look?" They were going to send Zhouzhou to the exam, and the vests and qipaos were essential.
Grandpa Qin glanced at a few of the daughters-in-law and gave them a meaningful look. They immediately stepped forward and pulled Grandma Qin into the room, redirecting the conversation.
Once the door closed, Grandpa Qin sighed with relief.
He looked at Qin Lie and said, "Next time, come up with a reason yourself."
Over the years, Zhouzhou had been assigned so many missions that Qin Lie was running out of excuses to cover for her.
At that moment, Qin Bei, who had been listening, curiously asked, "Grandpa, is Zhouzhou really not just out playing?"
Grandpa Qin glanced at him. The Qin family was full of good-looking people, and Qin Bei had grown into a cheerful and bright young man. However, his eyes still held a naive kind of foolishness!

Qin Nan sighed, rubbing his face and clenching his fists as he tried to muster the courage for what was to come.
He had saved up a decent amount of his red envelope money over the years, and it was time to get some cosmetic surgery.
Before the new chapter of his life began, he decided to fix his face first.
She hadn't returned yet, and he figured she knew she needed to go to the exam hall. Time had been wasted waiting, and it seemed like she was delayed on the way.
Qin Nan and the others didn't say anything. After checking the materials and confirming everything was in order, they got in the car.
By eight o'clock, they arrived at the school gate. Qin Nan and Qin Feng casually found a spot and began reading their books.
Qin Bei craned his neck and watched for a while before starting to read as well.
"Do you think Zhouzhou will make it?" Qin Ren glanced at the clock and asked in a low voice.
Qin Lie pressed his lips together. He wasn't sure.
Zhouzhou was out on a mission, and the timing was uncertain. But the college entrance exam was different from regular tests. If you missed a normal exam, you could retake it, but missing the college entrance exam meant you'd have to wait a whole year.
That was secondary, though. The main issue was that she'd miss out on the prize money for a year, which would be heartbreaking for her.
Thinking about this, Qin Lie couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.
He just hoped she would make it in time.
Minutes passed, and candidates had started entering the hall, but Zhouzhou still hadn't arrived.
The exam bell rang, and there wasn't a single candidate left outside. Still, no sign of Zhouzhou.
Even Grandpa Qin couldn't stay calm anymore. If it exceeded fifteen minutes, they wouldn't let anyone in.
Frowning, he spoke in a low voice, "Should I find someone to delay the admission time for her?"
He knew the head of the education bureau.
He had always disliked using connections, but for his little granddaughter, making an exception wouldn't be a problem.
Qin Lie shook his head and declined. Zhouzhou wouldn't want to do that.
His little girl had strong principles when it came to matters like this.
Well, mainly because the Heavenly Thunder wouldn't allow it either.
Only ten minutes remained before the final entry deadline.
Eight minutes.
Five minutes...
Just as the final two minutes were ticking away, the Qin family's hearts sank, and they began to prepare to comfort Zhouzhou with kind words when, suddenly, a figure dashed toward them...
