[Time never grows old, we never part]
"Perfect score in all subjects?? Goodness, this is unbelievable!"
"Is this from our province?"
"This is a monster, getting a perfect score in one subject is already amazing, but in all subjects... I wouldn't dare dream about this!"
"..."
As soon as the article was forwarded, there were exclamations of shock in the group chat.
At this moment, Li Bin followed up with a message: "Click it, you guys click it!!"
The classmates, sensing his excitement, clicked on the link instinctively.
But once they clicked in, every single one of them was dumbfounded.
[Today, East Mountain Province's college entrance exam results were announced. Lin Beichen from North Mountain City's North Mountain No. 3 High School scored a perfect 750 points in all subjects, securing the title of the top science student in East Mountain Province in advance, marking the first student in the history of the college entrance exam to achieve a perfect score in all subjects...]
The article first briefly introduced Lin Beichen's status as the top student and the weight of this title, followed by Lin Qian's interview with him, showcasing eye-catching questions such as his choice of university and his reasons for such rapid improvement.
The article ended with a video, featuring Lin Qian's full interview with Lin Beichen.
"North Mountain No. 3's Lin Beichen??"
"Could it be our class's Brother Chen???"
"Isn't there another Lin Beichen in our grade level??"
"Lin Beichen? Is this top student with a perfect score actually named Lin Beichen? Did I read it wrong? Can someone tell me if I'm seeing things??"
"..."
Questions filled the screen!
The group was full of classmates who had studied alongside Lin Beichen for a full three years, and they knew each other's academic capabilities better than any teacher or parent.
Even after reading the detailed information about Lin Beichen, they still found it hard to believe!
It wasn't until...
They clicked on the video one after another and saw Lin Beichen himself appear on the screen, causing a momentary silence in the group chat!
No one spoke!
They were all trying to process this hard-to-accept reality!
Lin Beichen is the top student in the college entrance exam??
Being the top student is one thing, but with a perfect score in all subjects??
No way! How could he be the top student with a perfect score?
He was ranked at the bottom of the class and grade level; how did he become the top student with a perfect score??
He wasn't pretending to be bad all the time, was he??
Pretending for a full three years...
Just to make a stunning debut?
Could this be possible??
At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in the previously idle chat box.
It was from the class teacher Sun Qing!
Sun Qing: "Everyone, don't doubt it. I just wanted to share this exhilarating news with you. This year's top science student in our province, and the only one in the history of the college entrance exam to score perfect in all subjects, is our class's Lin Beichen!"
She had intended to report the confirmed results to Director Zhang and then tell the class, but after the report, a pile of work kept her busy until now!
There was an official release from the provincial education department, and her confirmation as their class teacher.
Despite the thousands of questions in their minds, the students of Class Seven had no choice but to accept this fact.
"I just can't believe it... Lin Beichen is the top student with a perfect score in all subjects, and he used to hang out with me at the internet cafe doing group quests! I scored over 300 points while he got a perfect score? I am never taking him to play again!"
"Listen to Lin Beichen talk, does it even sound human? 'It's a matter of talent'? What kind of talent is this amazing?"
"I just said that our class has little pressure without any top students. Well, I turned out to be the clown? The top student in the province... No, the history's top student is in our class!"
"Brother Chen said, 'With a slight effort, I already know the limits of this exam,' regardless of the upper or lower limits, I can handle them all!"
"No wonder Brother Chen hasn't been active lately. Got it, he became the top student, so the feelings have faded and we're drifting apart?"
"@Lin Beichen, top student, come out and let us admire you!"
"@Lin Beichen"
"@Lin Beichen"
"..."
For a moment, every classmate started tagging Lin Beichen.
In his room, after reading the forwarded article, Lin Beichen initially didn't want to respond, as he didn't know what to say.
But...
With everyone tagging him.
He had to muster the courage to say something.
Lin Beichen: "Well... there is some innate talent, and I was also quite lucky, performed well, you guys don't need to be overly surprised. Let's do this, I'll perform a magic trick to lighten the mood, a traditional magic trick of disappearing!"
As soon as he sent this message, numerous replies popped up.
"Oh wow, finally showing up!"
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you turned into the person you dislike the most. The way you're showing off, seriously!"
"Lin Beichen, have you decided which university to attend now?"
"Goodness, you call this performing well? Just 'well'??"
"..."
But soon, someone realized...
Lin Beichen had gone offline!
Only then did they understand how he was going to perform this traditional magic trick.
He just went offline directly??
Of course, Lin Beichen didn't actually go offline; he just went invisible.
While the naive ones were listing his "seven sins" in the class group, the smart ones had started sending him private messages, like Li Yang and Zhang Hao.
He was replying to them.
Suddenly!
There was a knock on his door.
"Knock knock—"

"Son, son, come out, hurry hurry!"
Zheng Xia's voice came from outside the door, filled with urgency, excitement, and joy.
Lin Beichen wondered what was happening, put down his phone, and hurriedly went to open the door.
Before it was fully open.
An arm stretched in, clutching a phone.
At the door, Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong looked at Lin Beichen expectantly, their eyes occasionally glancing at the phone, gesturing eagerly for him to take the call.
Lin Beichen, bewildered by their actions, took the phone that was already on speaker mode, and said, "Hello."
"Hello Lin Beichen, this is Sun Minghao from the Admissions Office at Imperial Capital University."
It was a call from Imperial Capital University!
Lin Beichen immediately understood the situation; they were competing with other universities to recruit him.
Actually, Sun Minghao had originally planned to directly contact his parents to get them to decide and sign the agreement for studying at Imperial Capital University.
However...
Despite their excitement and thrill, Lin's parents remained rational, thinking it's their child's decision, so they didn't agree immediately and transferred the call to Lin Beichen.
"Hello, Director Sun."
"Lin Beichen, I watched the interview with you on the provincial TV station. I understand you haven't decided which university to choose yet. Given that, I would like to take this opportunity to personally extend an invitation to you on behalf of Imperial Capital University, hoping you'll choose to begin your college journey with us!"
