Chapter 58 – Strange Events Outside the Examination Room

As purple dawn light rose slowly in the east, the intense sunlight bathed the land, scorching the vast mountains and rivers of the motherland.

June 7th – the very day of the national college entrance exams.

Countless students faced the morning sun, streaming toward examination venues across the country with light, hurried steps.

N City’s XX Middle School was no exception.

Several traffic police officers had to raise megaphones and shout loudly to maintain order at the scene.

At this moment, Ye Kuang appeared with his hair combed westward, swaggering with an exaggerated gait. Though his frame wasn’t particularly imposing, when he passed through the courtyard gate that was crowded like a marketplace, he somehow managed to forcefully clear a path through the crowd.

Seeing this, people surged forward one after another, quickly filling every available space until the entire passageway was packed with followers.

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but glance backward at the sound, meeting nothing but desperate eyes that seemed to urge: “Young man, hurry up! We all want to follow you.”

“What’s going on? Why are you all following me… This is an exam hall, not an execution ground. What’s there to follow?” Ye Kuang said.

“Brother, we’re all exam takers! Time waits for no one. If we’re late, we’ll all be in trouble.”

“Keep going, push forward a bit more! We fully support you.”

“Enough talk, hurry up! I can’t take it anymore. Why are there so many people in this scorching weather…”

Listening to their overlapping voices, Ye Kuang realized they all wanted him to clear more space. It wasn’t hard to guess what role he was playing now.

But suddenly, his eyes swept across the bustling crowd and landed on a graceful figure. He smiled wryly: “So you’re using me as a bulldozer? With so many people here, don’t bully that young lady – let her come through first…”

Before he could finish, someone interrupted: “Brother, what are you thinking about picking up girls at a time like this?”

Ye Kuang: “……”

Seeing him actually stop moving, everyone grew anxious.

“Everyone, quick! Let that young lady through first, or we’ll all be left with nothing.”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

The graceful figure: “Thank you, young man.”

Her voice was remarkably pleasant, instantly soothing the restless atmosphere around them.

Even the previously shouting young man was moved, unable to resist stealing a few more glances.

Ye Kuang: “Don’t be afraid, rest completely assured. Your brother will definitely get you in early.”

As he spoke, he paid no mind to the strange looks around him, mustering his strength to push forward forcefully.

Only then did the students behind finally show excitement, striding proudly as if walking through a Green Channel.

Along the way, Ye Kuang moved quickly while casually chatting about this and that, making those behind him seethe with anger but dare not speak up.

His sharp eyes spotted a large man wearing a qipao and he couldn’t resist teasing: “Young Miss, look over there! There’s an uncle wearing a full qipao, though at first glance, he looks a bit like you.”

The graceful figure looked up and stammered: “That… that’s my father.”

“Wow.” Hearing this, Ye Kuang felt surprise wash over him, then performed a facial expression shift of rare speed: “No wonder! Only with such strong genes from your father could someone as beautiful as you, Young Miss, be born.”The fair maiden blushed slightly at the base of her neck from such praise, yet she mustered the courage for Dao Inquiry: “Really, little brother?”

After speaking, she shyly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed like adorable red apples.

Ye Kuang replied while walking: “Of course, I swear to heaven.”

But the moment he finished speaking, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Truthfully, Ye Kuang had never encountered someone so endearingly bashful.

Meanwhile, the onlookers grew more anxious witnessing this scene, yet none dared step forward to hurry them along.

For whether everyone could avoid drinking tea entirely depended on Ye Kuang.

“Go Xiao Hu! No family worries! Tsinghua and Peking University! Conquer them all!”

“Hahaha…”

Just then, the venue erupted into commotion, accompanied by waves of cheerful laughter.

Ye Kuang used this opportunity to cover his embarrassment and couldn’t help looking over.

He saw a row of elderly men and women holding banners high, waving flags, continuously shouting encouragement.

They resembled a full-family cheerleading squad.

At this, Ye Kuang burst out laughing: “Whose family is this? They’re going all out.”

A young man: “Little brother, that’s my family…”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang’s face immediately broke out in goosebumps, and he quickly tried to interrupt the other’s nauseating address.

But constrained by the setting, he could only distance himself as much as possible: “Stop, stop right there. We’re neither relatives nor brothers. Don’t casually claim familiarity – I can’t afford that embarrassment.”

Surrounding crowd: “……”

The fair maiden: “Hehe…”

As a top liberal arts student, the young man clearly understood Ye Kuang’s implied meaning and could only awkwardly fall silent, though inwardly cursing relentlessly: Why don’t you object when the beauty keeps calling you ‘little brother’? Clearly swayed by looks, shameless, despicable, I spit…

Ye Kuang: “Judging by your expression, you’re cursing me in your heart…”

The young man’s face inevitably changed at this, but being under someone else’s roof, he had to bow his head. He could only turtle up and shake his head repeatedly like waves.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang finally relented: “Hmph, I thought you wouldn’t dare.”

While speaking, he forcefully cleared a path, followed conspicuously by a group of students.

That imposing procession stretched magnificently – who throughout history could have achieved such a spectacle?

Meanwhile, the series of bizarre incidents on site unexpectedly became live-streamed trending headlines.

A sophisticated office lady gripped her microphone and unleashed a rapid-fire commentary toward the camera:

“Look everyone, they’ve appeared… Here they come, students from all regions marching with steady strides to challenge tomorrow. Through day after day, year after year of uncomplaining hardship – studying diligently with hair hung from beams and awls piercing thighs – twelve years of arduous study all for this moment of achieving scholarly honor!”

“Now let us cheer them on together, offering blessings to these youths seizing their prime years. May the vast student body achieve academic success, enter their ideal universities, and may our motherland grow increasingly prosperous, cultivating more outstanding talents!”
