As the college entrance examination approached, Lin Feng gradually shifted his focus to studying. After all, despite his superior memory, he did not want to make any mistakes in such an important exam. He still wanted to prove himself to his parents, teachers, and classmates.

So, for the next half month or so, Lin Feng barely went out. He stayed either in the classroom or his place, calmly studying and quietly awaiting the arrival of the college entrance examination.

At the beginning of June, as scheduled, came the annual college entrance examination.

In the days leading up to the exam, there were essentially no classes for seniors.

In the classrooms, teachers and students alike were giving farewell speeches and encouraging each other, which made Lin Feng somewhat emotional.

Some students even bought autograph books and had the other students in class write goodbye messages in them as keepsakes for the future.

Of course, this was usually something done by the girls in the class, or some more effeminate boys. As a manly guy, Lin Feng found the whole thing rather boring.

Unfortunately, as there were only eleven boys in a class of over forty students, Lin Feng ended up signing so many autograph books and writing so many farewell messages that his hand ached.

Previously, many students might not have asked him to sign anything. However, Lin Feng's academic performance had since skyrocketed, placing him at the top of the class. Coupled with the incident where he beat Meng Zelong and the rumors of him dating the campus beauty Ning Aoxue, his popularity had soared. He felt like a star, signing autographs until his hand ached.

At first, Lin Feng was diligent in writing these messages. Later, he simply standardized the format. After signing the boys' autograph books, for the girls' messages, he would uniformly write at the end, "You'll be very happy in the future," followed by a mischievous smirk.

On the last day seniors were in school, songs like "My Deskmate" and "Wishing You a Smooth Journey" were played over the campus speakers, causing the seniors to become anxious and many of the girls to tear up.

As Lin Feng sat in his classroom, he suddenly realized that Fatty was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for quite some time, he finally saw Fatty stumble into the room, covering his face, tears streaming down.

"Boss, I got hit," Fatty cried.

"Damn! Who the hell hit my guy? Come on, let's go get him!"

"No need... I wish she would hit me again," Fatty continued.

"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned.

As it turned out, Fatty had a crush on a very quiet girl from the neighboring class. Knowing that they would soon graduate and he might never see her again, after much hesitation, Fatty finally mustered the courage to call her over and confess his feelings.

"We often ran into each other in the cafeteria," Fatty said. "I called her over and just said, 'Lin Lin, I like you'..."

"And then?" asked Lin Feng.

"Then she slapped me."

"Huh?"

"After slapping me, she pinched me and said, crying, 'Why didn't you say it earlier? I hate you! My family has already emigrated, and I have to go abroad to study...' Sob... Boss, why am I so unlucky? She said she had feelings for me too. If this were freshman year, she would have said yes. But now she's about to leave the country..."

Fatty was a mess of snot and tears. Lin Feng had to play the role of his mom, coaxing and comforting him until he finally calmed down.

"When you were born, I was not. When I was born, you were already dead." How maddening!

You loved me, but I didn't know. I loved you, but you didn't know. Only when we missed our chance did we both realize it. Damn it! Life can be such a pain in the ass sometimes.

Somehow, at this moment, Lin Feng pictured the reserved and delicate figure of Tang Rou. She's also going abroad, isn't she? he thought.

"Now I'm going to play a message for everyone. This is a message from a good friend of mine. She told me a while ago that she really, really likes a boy, but the boy doesn't like her. She is also afraid to confess her feelings because she is going abroad..."

"So, she found me to help her during my last time hosting the campus broadcast. Here's her message to that boy. I hope that boy can hear it."

"You are always joking around; your sunny smile, from middle school when you helped me fend off the classmates who bullied me, has been deeply imprinted in my mind. I had thought, in high school, that I wouldn't fall in love, so I wouldn't be distracted from studying. However, when it comes to liking someone, it's not something you can control..."

"I want to forget you, but I can't. I try to get close to you, but I don't know what to say. I always want to see you, whenever possible; only then does my heart feel at peace. I'm leaving, going abroad. I will always remember every day we spent together—Zhizi Mountain, the meteor shower, 'holding your hand, to grow old together'... It's a pity I can't grow old with you. I wish for you to find a girl you like and be happy forever. I also hope our friendship will last... Take care, Lin Feng!"

When the female host finished reading that message, the entire school was in an uproar because it was against school rules to read these kinds of messages. However, the host was a senior too, and it was too late to penalize her.

Upon hearing that message, Lin Feng was taken aback. He knew very well who the message was from.

Meanwhile, in another academic building, Ning Aoxue, who was packing her things with Su Zi, paused when she heard Lin Feng's name at the end of the message. Lin Feng has a secret admirer? she thought. Who would possibly like that lecherous, despicable guy?

Cao Ying, in her office in the administrative building, also tensed up when she heard the message. She pursed her lips, a wry smile touching her face. Shaking her head, she murmured to herself, "That annoying... yet endearing guy. So, a girl really does like him? Heh, he's quite the catch, isn't he?"

"Boss, who is it? Who's crushing on you? Why is there no signature?" Fatty, who was still sniffling, suddenly perked up when he heard Lin Feng's name. "That's not logical, Boss! Are you having a clandestine love affair and keeping it from me?"

Lin Feng ignored him and quickly turned his gaze to a certain spot in the front rows of the classroom. That spot was now empty; the person who previously occupied it was gone.

He stepped out of the classroom and made a call. An automated voice informed him that the phone was switched off.

Standing on the corridor outside the classroom, Lin Feng stared blankly for a moment before a wry smile touched his lips.

Is this what adolescence is like? Damn, all my own youth left me with was acne...

After a few days of rest, Lin Feng returned to school, which now served as a college entrance examination site.

There were dozens of exam sites across the city, and Lin Feng was lucky enough to be randomly assigned to his own school.

At the school gate, he looked up at the bright sky before lowering his head and walking into the examination site.

The decisive moment was here. The college entrance examination that would determine one's fate had begun...
