Mesin Penerjemah

Jiang Yuan spoke boldly. He was in a very good mood. He felt proud of Shuishui, especially because he was also her guardian. Shuishui's achievements were not easy to achieve. "You are a very good student. You took the college entrance examination in your second year of high school, and you topped it. So many people will be envious of that."

"Uncle Jiang, it's not that big of a deal. But it does save me a lot of time. I think it's pretty good," Shuishui answered. She was very satisfied.

Jiang Yuan was smiling and grinning from ear to ear. "When Xiao Li comes later, you can tell him how you did it. That child should learn from you. I hate that he only keeps making excuses."

Shuishui smiled and said, "Uncle, don't put too much pressure on Xiao Li. Anyway, Uncle, about the school matter, may I ask you to come with me to handle it?"

"Don't worry. I will go to school with you tomorrow morning. I'll help you deal with it. When I go home tonight, I'll have to think of what to say tomorrow. The school will definitely be surprised, but I believe the school will support you." Shuishui was a positive young girl who had laid out clear steps for her future. He suddenly felt worried that she was so mature and sensible. She had grown up and matured so quickly because of what she experienced with her family.

Jiang Yuan was worrying for the wrong reasons, but he assured Shuishui he would help her.

Teacher Hu thought for a moment. "Shuishui doesn't like that kind of exposure, so I will coordinate with the news agency instead. They can feature her and include a slightly blurry photo of her. Shuishui, you don't have to worry. Just focus on your studies."

"Thank you, Teacher Hu." Shuishui disliked doing interviews and having photos of her taken. She disliked publicity.

Teacher Li felt that Shuishui would have many suitors in the future. She had a strong and good personality. If he had a son, he would definitely set them up. It was such a pity that he did not have a child of his own.

Pretty soon, more people arrived. Mu Ziyu brought Mu Zilin, who brought his girlfriend along. It was the first time he brought his girlfriend to such an occasion. He had not intended to attend, but he changed his mind when Ziyu told him it was a celebration for Shuishui's passing the college entrance exam. If his girlfriend had not wanted to go with him, he would still have attended the dinner for Shuishui.

However, she actually agreed to go with him, which surprised him a little. His girlfriend, Wen Huijing, was a shy girl. She held Zilin's wrist as they waited for Ziyu. When Ziyu arrived, he only nodded coldly and did not say much. Mu Zilin was not surprised because he knew his brother had a cold personality. He treated other women coldly because he was only affectionate towards Shuishui.

Zilin felt that Shuishui was an amazing girl to have caused a change in his brother.

"Little Jing, this is my brother. You can just call him Big Brother Mu," Zilin said. Wen Huijing looked at Mu Ziyu and found him very handsome. She noticed that his style was completely different from Zilin's.

After getting into the car, she felt like asking Zilin about Shuishui. "Zilin, is your good friend one year higher than you?"

"No. Shuishui and I are in the same year. We are also in the second year of high school. However, she seems to have passed the college entrance exam in advance. That means she'll be able to go straight to university. She's so intimidating." Mu Zilin felt that Shuishui was moving too fast. He was amazed that she would be accelerated straight into college.

Wen Huijing felt a little strange and a little nervous about Zilin's friendship with Shuishui. She also felt that Shuishui would not be easy to get along with. She wondered if Shuishui ever liked Zilin more than a friend. She said, "I've heard you talk about her before. What kind of person is she? I don't want to say something wrong later."

"Don't worry. She has a very good temper. She rarely scolds people, and she ignores me even when I scold her. She has a very mature personality. You can talk normally with her. There's no need to worry too much. Besides, you'll know when you see her." Zilin always felt that there was nothing to dislike about Shuishui after she had changed. She had always been very charming towards people she knew. He often wondered what was wrong with Xu Die, who made an effort to find trouble with Shuishui.

He then realized that it had been a long time since he had seen Shuishui. He had been quite busy, and he had planned to introduce his girlfriend to her. Shuishui was usually busier and would always put off their seeing each other. He wanted Shuishui to meet his girlfriend so he would know what she thought of her.

Mu Ziyu parked his car. They got off the car, and Ziyu said, "Let's go up."

Wen Huijing wanted to leave a good impression on Mu Ziyu, so she kept changing the topic. "Brother Mu, do you have a girlfriend?"

She felt that if he didn't, she could bring her cousin along the next time they met so she could introduce them to each other.

Mu Zilin smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll meet brother's girlfriend later."

Wen Huijing blinked. Brother Mu's girlfriend was coming too? Then she wouldn't be able to introduce him to her cousin. What a pity. Such a handsome man.

When they walked into the room, Wen Huijing saw three older men, followed by a young lady who was about the same age as them. She was very beautiful. As a girl, even she noticed that the girl had such a unique temperament.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Why were there so many elders?

Mu Zilin also noticed that there were many elders, but he proceeded to nod and greet them politely. Wen Huijing, on the other hand, was very afraid of meeting the elders. She didn't know what kind of people they were.

Mu Ziyu naturally sat beside Shuishui and put a hand on her shoulder. "What did my Shuishui do this time?"

Shuishui lowered her head and smiled. "It's not a big deal, but I did well in the exams. My teachers and Uncle Jiang wanted to celebrate."

Wen Huijing looked at Ziyu and Shuishui in surprise. "Zilin, Qian Shuishui is Brother Mu's girlfriend?"

"Yes, they've been dating for more than a year." Mu Zilin nodded. "Do you think that their age difference is huge? Actually, it's only five or six years, so it's quite normal."

"It's quite normal, but I find it strange that she's quite young."

Mu Zilin wondered what was strange about it. He said, "Didn't we fall in love very early as well?"

"Uh." Wen Huijing knew that she had said something wrong. "That's not what I meant. Don't think about it."

Shuishui looked over and said, "Zilin, is this your girlfriend? The one you mentioned before?"

"Yes, it's her." Mu Zilin nodded. "Her name is Wen Huijing. Huijing, this is my best friend, Qian Shuishui. I told you before about her. She took the college entrance exam without telling anyone. Anyway, you're so amazing. You didn't even tell me about it."

"Why? If I did, you would have taken it too. Wouldn't you be looking for trouble then?" Qian Shuishui shook her head. She felt that Zilin wouldn't have passed it because he had never prepared himself for it.

Mu Zilin shut his mouth. Shuishui had a very sharp tongue. It was better to speak less. Shuishui could make fun of him and tease him if he spoke too much.

Before Wen Huijing could say anything, Shuishui was pulled over by Mu Ziyu. "Shuishui, then you don't need to go to high school anymore?"

"Yes, I've already filled out my application forms. I'm just waiting for the admission letter." She nodded. She was looking forward to university life. University life was completely different from high school and middle school. Shuishui took out her wallet and took out a business card. It was given to her by a professor from before. She showed it to Ziyu and said, "My first choice is the Beijing Institute of Science and Technology. He told me to contact him if I got in. He told me to contact him even if I didn't pass. It was supposed to be a few years later, but I didn't expect it to be a year earlier."

What would university be like? More accurately, what would university be like in this world?

Mu Ziyu pinched Shuishui's nose. "You are so cute."

"Stop pinching. I can't breathe," Shuishui replied with a smile.

"Do you want to live on campus? Many freshmen choose to live on campus for half a year. What about you?" he asked.

Shuishui thought about the fact that she had a home and that Anzhi was living with her. "I don't think so. If I live on campus, who will watch over Anzhi? I can't let him live alone. Besides, he still needs my guidance."

She knew that living on campus wouldn't be as comfortable as living at home. It was better to live at home. "Besides, if I live on campus, it will be more difficult for us to meet up," she said.

Mu Ziyu hadn't thought of that before. "That's true."

Jiang Yuan looked at the two children. "Look at these children. They forget their elders when they have a boyfriend."

Shuishui tilted her head and smiled. "How can that be?"

Jiang Li's mother and twin brother arrived with Qian Anzhi. The dinner invitation surprised them. They didn't expect to go out that night. They became more curious when they were told that it was a celebration for Shuishui. They wondered if something big had happened.

Qian Anzhi saw that there were many people, including Teacher Li. He was embarrassed to see Teacher Li, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Teacher Li," he said as he approached the old teacher and acknowledged him.

"You child, you're getting thinner and weaker. You should exercise. Learn from your sister and do everything with perseverance. Otherwise, you'll waste your time studying," Teacher Li said earnestly.

Qian Anzhi nodded, not daring to say anything else. He was excited to go to the dinner, but he immediately felt tense when he saw Teacher Li. He felt crushed. During the days when he was still training with Teacher Li, he felt so tired that his feet and hands were so numb and weak. The next day, he would wake up very tired and sore.

He couldn't understand how his sister could bear it. He just didn't feel like training in martial arts suited him. After chatting with Teacher Li, he felt so crushed and was so confused about how to feel about it.

When everyone had arrived, Teacher Hu made the announcement. "Tonight, I just want to celebrate Shuishui's outstanding performance in the college entrance examination, which she had taken in advance! I've already confirmed that the top scorer in science is Shuishui."

The others gasped. "Wow!"

"As Shuishui's teachers, we are all very gratified. Tonight, we will celebrate Shuishui's achievement with the people close to her. I am also an elder of Shuishui, and I have watched her grow. I am truly happy with this achievement of hers. Come, Shuishui, stand here. Do you have anything you wish to say?" Hu Laoshi waved to Shuishui and invited her to say something. "Come, say what you wish to say."

Shuishui felt a little awkward. She slowly walked over to her teacher's side and said, "Actually, I don't know what to say either. However, I want to thank the elders here for all their help and support and my teachers for their guidance."
