35 days until the final exam!
34 days until the final exam!
33 days until the final exam!
...
Days were passing by, and Lin Beichen's life was in a repetitive cycle: reading books to review key points, listening intently in class, and then flexibly applying the knowledge.
However, the final exam tests everything learned over the past three years.
There was simply too much knowledge.
With only a month left, the teachers couldn't cover everything in class.
For someone who was previously a poor student, even remembering a lot of knowledge didn't mean he knew how to use it, so soon, there was one more thing he started doing every day—
Running to the office to ask teachers questions!
At first, the teachers thought Lin Beichen's enthusiasm would fade in a few days, or even by the next day, but his persistence and passion exceeded their expectations.
"What a pity, Lin Beichen has only just realized, it's too late now."
"Lin Beichen has been working really hard these past few days. You can see he's studying seriously, and the questions he's asking are getting more advanced, but it's a shame there's not much time before the exam."
"If Lin Beichen had shown this determination at the start of senior year, he might have had a chance at getting into a second-tier university. But starting now... sigh!"
"If Lin Beichen doesn't get discouraged after the final exam and can maintain this passion for studying, repeating the year might be a good option for him."
"..."
...
...
One month may not seem like a short time, but for high school seniors who cherish every moment, it feels like it passes in the blink of an eye.
One day until the final exam!
...
The day before the final exam.
Despite having classes scheduled, none of the teachers taught much or gave any lectures.
They all dropped their usual strict personas, offering warm smiles to encourage each student who was about to head into the battlefield the next day.
"Tomorrow is the day to test the results of your three years of high school study. Don't be too nervous, stay calm to perform normally, or even excel. The final exam is not the end, but a new starting point in your life. I hope you all can stand proudly at your new starting point, looking back without any regret. Lastly, make sure to check your admission ticket before you leave home tomorrow. Oh, and one more thing, read the questions carefully..."
As the homeroom teacher's seemingly lighthearted but numerous reminders came to an end, high school life officially drew to a close. Groups of students unfamiliar with the exam site headed out to scout the location.
Lin Beichen's exam site was his own school, so he went straight home, had dinner, played a few rounds of games, and then went to bed.
As for reviewing?
After more than a month of hard work, with the help of his [Heaven-defying Comprehension] talent, he was confident he had a thorough understanding of all the subjects from the three years of high school and didn't need any more review. Plus, he needed some time to relax and unwind after being so mentally tense for so long.
"The final exam is tomorrow, I am so looking forward to it."
In both his previous and current life, this was the first time Lin Beichen was looking forward to an exam with such anticipation. With that feeling, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, he wasn't awakened by an alarm clock, but by the anxious calls of his parents.
"Son, wake up, time to have breakfast and get ready for the final exam!"
As Lin Beichen opened his eyes, he saw his parents' faces filled with hope.
Lin Beichen's father was very thin, with a clean and tidy short haircut, wearing black-framed glasses, clearly a scholar.
His mother had a well-proportioned figure. Although she had aged, it was not hard to see her past beauty.
Originally, his parents had no hope for Lin Beichen's final exam, but his performance over the past month rekindled a small spark of hope in their hearts—
They no longer hoped for a first or second-tier university.
What if he could get into a vocational college?
Little did Lin Beichen know that his parents' expectations were only as high as a vocational college, he got up quickly, had a hearty breakfast, and declined his parents' offer to accompany him to school, walking there just as he usually did.
When he arrived at the school, the entrance was already crowded, the atmosphere lively and noisy.
Lin Beichen didn't want to be affected by this atmosphere, so he quickly passed through the crowd, secured his exam ticket, and entered the exam room, finding and sitting at his seat.
"Nails as small as grains of millet; the gaps in the tiles are as varied as strands of linen."
"We are like mayflies, insignificant in the vast world; a single grain in the boundless sea. I sorrow over the brevity of life, but admire the endless flow of the Yangtze River."
"..."
Buzzing murmurs filled the exam room from all directions.
Students were trying to reinforce their memories of key points until the invigilators walked in with the sealed exam papers just as the bell rang. The room fell silent.
"Look, it's sealed and hasn't been opened."
The invigilator showed the sealed papers to the students, then opened the sealed bags and distributed the papers as other invigilators read out the exam room rules.
"These questions..."
After getting the paper, Lin Beichen quickly scanned through the items. To him, the final exam paper seemed like free points!
The ancient poems and literature fill-ins requiring rote memory were simple, the application questions were straightforward, and even the essay, which carried the most points, had clear and understandable themes!
"Phew——!"
Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. Since his rebirth, he hadn't sat for a real exam. The last mock exams had ended a few days before his rebirth, and there had been no exams since then.
Although he was very confident in his work over the past month, as someone who had always been a poor student in both lives, he couldn't help but have some exam anxiety.
But now...
He was completely at ease!

His heart felt sunny and cheerful!
"Swish swish swish——"
Lin Beichen's pen flew across the paper. While other students were just starting to get into their answering rhythm, he had already finished the exam.
His answers were neatly written, the spacing between words orderly, making the paper a pleasure to look at.
Lin Beichen initially planned to submit his paper immediately, but seeing that there were still more than ten minutes before the allowed submission time, he had no choice but to review his answers several times.
As soon as the time to submit arrived, he stood up, and amidst the surprised glances of the other students and invigilators, he handed in his paper and walked out of the exam room.
