Chapter 223 Estimating Scores
Even though there were several years in between when I acted like a complete jerk, your mother never abandoned me, silently protecting this love. That is the true and profound love between your mother and me.
As Zhao Yuan slowly recounted the details of the past, he couldn't help but immerse himself in those beautiful and unforgettable memories.
"Oh, Dad, I don't really know myself. Anyway, there's just this inexplicable attraction between us. He's not only academically outstanding, but he's also incredibly good at interpersonal relationships. I always feel like he's really capable."
Zhao Zhaodi blushed and answered shyly.
"Hmm, I see. So this is what appreciation is all about."
Appreciating the strengths of others is a perfectly normal thing.
That being said, there must be quite a few classmates at school who admire you.
You know, our Zhao Di is naturally beautiful, and her grades are top-notch. If you secretly told Dad how many boys have passed you notes, Dad wouldn't be shocked, would he? Haha!
Zhao Yuan teased his daughter with a big smile.
"Dad, you're making fun of me again. I can't even finish my test papers every day, how can I have the mind to care about which boy is interested in me?"
Zhao Zhaodi blushed slightly.
“How could there be no boys writing notes to my precious daughter? Dad doesn’t believe it! Back in the day, I wrote so many little notes to your mother before I finally won her over.”
Zhao Yuan said with a smile, a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi blinked with interest and replied:
"Really? Then Dad, tell me the story between you and Mom."
And so, the father and daughter naturally shifted the topic to their parents' dating experiences.
Next, Zhao Yuan started talking non-stop, recounting to Zhao Zhaodi all sorts of embarrassing stories that happened when he was dating Lin Fangfang.
Some of these stories are hilarious, while others are full of sweetness and warmth.
For Zhao Zhaodi, the stories of her parents' youth were so novel and fascinating that she listened with great interest, occasionally letting out a clear, bell-like laugh.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for Zhao Zhaodi to go back to school to estimate her scores and fill out her college application.
That morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the dining table. Zhao Yuan, while sipping his soy milk, asked Zhao Zhaodi, who was eating breakfast, with concern:
"Zhaodi, do you need Daddy to come with you to school this time?"
Zhao Zhaodi swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at her father, and answered confidently:
"No need, Dad. The other students all went to school to estimate their scores themselves. And after estimating their scores, they'll have several days to think about filling out their college applications. If I still can't make up my mind then, I'll ask you, Father, for advice and to make the final decision!"
After saying that, Zhao Zhaodi playfully waved to Zhao Yuan, then got on her bicycle and sped off towards the school in the rising sun.
As Zhao Zhaodi rode her bicycle further and further away until she disappeared at the end of the winding path in front of her house, Zhao Yuan's heart was still hanging in suspense, and a trace of unease lingered in his heart.
He rushed to the company all morning, quickly arranged his work, and then eagerly returned home early. He sat quietly in the living room, looking forward to Zhao Zhaodi's return from school.
Time passed by, and as noon approached, a clear and melodious bicycle bell suddenly rang out in the once quiet courtyard.
Immediately following was a loud and cheerful shout:
"Dad, Mom, Grandma, I'm home!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xu Shuhui, Zhao Yuan, and Lin Fangfang rushed out of the house almost simultaneously, their faces filled with concern and urgency, and asked in unison:
What's your estimated score for this exam?
Zhao Zhaodi stepped out of the car gracefully, pushed it to the wall, and said with a smile:
"Look how anxious you all are! This is just an estimated score. The actual score can sometimes differ significantly from the estimated score!"
Despite saying that, the radiant smile on her face couldn't hide her inner joy.
"Oh, stop keeping us in suspense, honey! Tell us what score you estimated! You're so happy, your score must be pretty good!"
Zhao Yuan urged with a smile.
"Hmm... my initial estimate is around 690! But we can't be sure yet."
Zhao Zhaodi tried hard to suppress her excitement, but the excitement in her voice could not be completely hidden.
"Really? That's that high! That's amazing! Have you decided which university you want to apply to? Tsinghua University or Peking University?"
Upon hearing this number, Zhao Yuan was overjoyed and almost jumped for joy.
Zhao Zhaodi pondered for a moment, then answered confidently:
"I plan to list Tsinghua University as my first choice, and as for my second choice, I'll choose National Taiwan University. Of course, since this is just an estimated score, I'm worried about inaccuracies, so I just checked the answers carefully again, and I feel that it shouldn't be too far off."
After she finished speaking, her bright eyes sparkled with confidence, as if she could already see herself stepping into her dream university.
When Zhao Yuan learned of Zhao Zhaodi's outstanding achievements, he felt an indescribable joy.
It should be known that every student in Huaxia cherishes a dream about Tsinghua University deep in their heart.
However, Tsinghua University, as one of the top universities in China, is like the most dazzling jewel in a crown, enrolling only a few hundred students from across the country each year.
Those who are able to enter this institution are all top students from their respective provinces.
Zhao Yuan once had such a dream, but unfortunately, he was unable to realize it in the end.
Now, his unfulfilled goal will soon be achieved by his daughter, Zhao Zhaodi.
Once she successfully enters Tsinghua University, Zhao Zhaodi's future will be bright and limitless!
"Haha, this is such a wonderful thing! Let's celebrate at home today! Tomorrow, Mom and Dad will go with you to fill out your college application."
Zhao Yuan said with a big smile.
"Oh, Dad, there's no need to rush! Let's wait until the results are officially released before making any plans. What if the actual score isn't that high? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
