CHAPTER 785: CHAPTER 775: PARTICIPATING IN THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

Starting from this endorsement brand event caught during a layover, it was like a valve in her career had been fully opened.

In the following two months, just after Jiang Lingxi finished filming her role in "Yu Gong’s Case," she immediately joined the cast of "Phoenix Seal."

In between, there were several endorsements and charity shorts to shoot. As for variety shows, she didn’t want to be on those performing on stage singing and dancing shows, and Tong Yue didn’t dare force her—had to tearfully decline several opportunities, otherwise her schedule would be even busier.

Additionally, she had to prepare for the upcoming college entrance exam, even the promise she made with Lu Zhengzheng to catch the opening of "Qingcheng Legend" had to be postponed.

She really couldn’t squeeze in the time!

As for her celebrity account, it was early on entrusted to Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao for management, but both only dared to help forward some necessary brand promotional posts. Other personal posts, they preferred to post on their assistant accounts.

The main issue was that fans seemed to have an uncanny insight, even when they attempted to mimic Jiang Lingxi’s style in their posts, netizens could always tell it wasn’t her.

The two buried themselves in the few posts Jiang Lingxi had previously made as a form of research, but ultimately couldn’t figure it out.

It could only be attributed to the mysterious connection between idols and fans!

But everyone knew that their Xi Sister had never really managed her increasingly growing fanbase. She strictly prohibited them from spending time, energy, and money organizing supporting activities, clearly drawing a line between the two.

Chasing a star is just that; you can admire me, and in return, I provide good work, but that’s all. The two sides must not affect each other’s lives.

After all, this is someone who, in her product endorsement promotions, would directly remind fans to purchase rationally!

In short, it wasn’t until three days before the college entrance exam that Jiang Lingxi completed all the scheduled commitments set up by Tong Yue.

Just when the career valve temporarily closed, Jiang Lingxi resolutely gave a break to Lu Zhengzheng and the others, who had tirelessly followed her everywhere during this period.

At least until the exams were over, her team didn’t have to be so relentlessly busy with her, and they could finally take a breather.

The team had known early on that their artist was going to take the college entrance exam, so just before parting, Lu Zhengzheng, as their representative, gifted Jiang Lingxi a present with everyone’s best wishes.

"Good luck on your exams!"

"Wishing you victory!"

...

The gift was encased in a vermilion pouch. Although she hadn’t opened it yet, Jiang Lingxi could already guess what it was just by feeling it.

Shen Yunqing noticed the item in her hand as soon as she got in the car, "What’s that?"

"Zhengzheng and the others gave it to me at parting. I think it’s a Wenchang Tower."

While speaking, Jiang Lingxi untied the gold cord around the pouch, reached inside with her fingers, and pulled out a finger-sized wooden tower. It was small yet exquisite, "Hmm, it’s the thirteen-storied one."

Shen Yunqing pursed his lips looking at the small tower in Jiang Lingxi’s palm.

He had also prepared one, but because it was much larger, it stayed on the desk in the Xiyuan study.

He had been outdone, but what could be said?

No matter the size, it’s a beautiful blessing.

"I had Xiaoxia moved in to stay, so tomorrow he’ll just stay at home and rest well. The day after, I’ll take you both to scout the exam venue. When the exam starts, I’ll send you off together."

"That would be good, so he won’t forget anything important at the critical moment."

According to the news about the college entrance exams, such incidents are quite common, with all sorts of things forgotten.

It might just happen to someone around them.

When Jiang Lingxi returned to Xiyuan, Jiang Lingxu was cramming, buried in his studies.

The siblings just greeted each other simply when they met.

"Sis, you’re back!"

"Hmm, keep writing."

Jiang Lingxu continued to struggle with the test papers specially made by his brother-in-law while Jiang Lingxi dragged a suitcase meant for books to the study.

As soon as she stepped in, she spotted an almost half-human high wooden Wenchang Tower placed on the upper left corner of the desk.

"When was this put here?"

"Not long ago, just got it from Yicheng Temple, one for you and one for Xiaoxia."

Jiang Lingxi knew from his mention of ’getting’ it that the Wenchang Tower had been specially blessed, and not by an ordinary master.

Wujue was currently busy with the Taishou project, so it could only be, "Was it blessed by the old abbot?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Lingxi gently brushed the warm wooden tower tip with her hand, "If I don’t do well in the exam, I’d really be letting down all the effort you’ve put into this."

"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, there are college entrance exams every year anyway."

"That won’t do, I need to pass in one go. Otherwise, if recognized, it’d be quite embarrassing."

Jiang Lingxu stared at the final big problem blankly.

Even with the air conditioning on, his palm was full of sweat.

"Can’t solve it?"

"Sis, it’s too hard!"

Jiang Lingxi immediately recognized Shen Yunqing’s handwriting on the problem, pulled over a chair, grabbed a pen, and sat down to examine it.

Ten minutes later.

"Check the answer to see if it’s correct."

Jiang Lingxu pulled out the key beneath the papers, compared it, and nodded, "It’s right."

Yet, displeased, "It took me over twice the time and I still couldn’t figure out my train of thought. Plus, you’ve been so busy the past few months!"

Jiang Lingxi originally wanted to pat his head, but seeing his messy hair, she withdrew her hand, "It’s not about being busy."

Jiang Lingxu immediately understood what she didn’t say: That’s an intelligence issue.

He wiped his face, "I’ll work on a few more problems."

Jiang Lingxi then took the paper from him, ignored the scribbled marks, and casually went through it.

Sure enough, it was tailored by Shen Yunqing to match Jiang Lingxu’s level.

It was simpler than what he usually taught her.

"There’s still three days; come on, you can do it!"

Jiang Lingxu: "..."

He also hoped he could succeed!

Three days quickly flew by.

Aside from taking a trip to familiarize themselves with the test site in the evening when there were fewer people, they didn’t leave Xiyuan for the rest of the time.

Of course, Jiang Lingxi mainly rested, while Jiang Lingxu didn’t have such luxuries, barely getting a decent sleep the night before the exam.

On the day of the college entrance exam, after everything was prepared, Shen Yunqing drove Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Lingxu safely to the exam site.

The siblings had slightly different subjects to take, so after entering the exam venue, they simply encouraged each other and headed to their respective check-in lines.

When it was Jiang Lingxi’s turn to be checked, she swiftly took off her hat and mask before the inspecting teacher could say a word.

Her confidence relied on the assumption that though someone might recognize her at the exam site, nobody would act unnecessarily at such a time.

After all, what could be more important than the upcoming college entrance exam!
