Nan Xiangwan had been staying at home for several days, during which she played games with Nan Chaoyang and her younger brother, engaging in chaotic battles in the canyon.
They achieved remarkable results, and their rankings soared!
Mother Xinzi seemed completely out of touch, with no news from her.
Father Nansong went to work and cooked every day.
He found joy in these activities!
Since their daughter entered the entertainment industry, this was the first time she had stayed at home for such a long period.
However, on the afternoon of the fifth day, their peaceful life was interrupted by a phone call.
It was the landline at home, and Nan Xiangwan answered it.
She sat on the sofa, using one hand to control her mobile phone screen for the game and the other to answer the call.
Nan Chaoyang was next to her, engaged in a heated argument with his teammates over voice chat.
Nan Xiangwan: "Hello, may I help you?"
A friendly voice came from the other end of the call: "Hello, is this the residence of the Nan Chaoyang family?"
Nan Xiangwan glanced at her brother, who was intensely focused on the team fight, and put the call on speakerphone: "Yes, what's the matter? He's right here."
The person on the other end said: "Great! This is the Peking University Admissions Office. We would like to inquire if Nan Chaoyang has any intention of attending Peking University. If so, we suggest signing a contract in advance."
Nan Xiangwan: "What?!"
What did this phone call mean?
What day was it today?
It was only the 18th!
The college entrance exam scores hadn't been released yet, and Peking University was already calling in advance?
The voice on the other end spoke again: "If Nan Chaoyang is willing to come to our Peking University, we can inform you of his physics score in advance."
Nan Xiangwan widened her eyes. Could this really happen?
At this moment, Nan Chaoyang spoke up, sounding a little reluctant: "Oh, sorry, I'm not interested. Goodbye."
With that, he hung up the phone!
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
Nan Chaoyang: "Keep going, keep going! Hurry, kill!"
Nan Xiangwan: "..."
They hadn't played for long when another phone call came in.
Nan Xiangwan was smarter this time and directly answered on speakerphone: "Hello, how can I help you?"
The caller said: "Hello! This is the Tsinghua University Admissions Office. Is Nan Chaoyang at home?"
Nan Xiangwan poked her brother sitting next to her.
At the same time, she perked up her ears and listened!
Was this a case of Peking University and Tsinghua University vying for students in advance?
Nan Chaoyang: "Yes, I'm here."
The caller asked: "Does Chaoyang have any intention of studying at Tsinghua University? If you're willing, we can disclose his math score in advance!"
Nan Chaoyang didn't even lift his head: "Peking University just called and told me all my subject scores."
The voice on the other end sounded a little anxious: "Did you agree to Peking University?!"
Nan Chaoyang continued: "No, I'm a special recruit for national defense. Goodbye!"
With a click, he hung up the phone!
Nan Xiangwan looked at her brother's expression and was astonished.
Damn, this...
Impressive!
To receive advance enrollment calls from both Tsinghua University and Peking University, and to refuse them cleanly.
Nan Chaoyang looked at his sister with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Do you know the score range for Tsinghua and Peking University?"
Nan Xiangwan replied: "It's around 680 to 690, I guess. Anyway, I can't make it. I haven't paid much attention to the specifics."
Nan Chaoyang said, "Do you know the admission score for the National Defense Academy?"
Nan Xiangwan replied, "I don't know."
Nan Chaoyang said, "701."
Nan Xiangwan: "!!!!"
Nan ChaoYang explained, "The National Defense Academy doesn't admit high school students. Most of the students who can enter are outstanding graduates from the military with certain rank requirements! The only way for ordinary students to enter this school is to be unbeatable in the physical fitness test during the winter vacation every year! If you have even a slight vision problem or any physical issue, you won't make it!"
"Oh, by the way," Nan ChaoYang said, crossing his legs, "Half of those who can enter the National Defense Academy are talented in commanding."
Nan XiangWan touched her chin. So, the reason she didn't pass was because of that?
Nan ChaoYang became even more proud as he continued, raising his chin, "When I was in my first and second year of high school, I used to participate in various competitions abroad. I have enough first-place certificates to make a book out of them. With my numerous awards and excellent physical fitness, I received a lot of attention. So, after the physical fitness test, my position was secured, and they told me as long as I passed the score line, I could get in."
"Oh..." Nan XiangWan replied.
"But I don't need such special treatment because I'm definitely going to surpass the score line. 700 points are nothing to me," he said, patting his sister's shoulder. "As for you, Nan XiangWan, forget about it. Even if you have excellent physical fitness, you won't pass. The country needs versatile talents, but you're just an underachiever."
"Have I not beaten you up in a long time? What did you just call me?" Nan XiangWan said, with a threatening tone.
"No, sister! Sister! I was just trying to comfort you. I was afraid you would be upset about being rejected during the winter vacation," Nan ChaoYang said, terrified.
Nan XiangWan turned her head, pretending not to envy him.
The National Defense Academy!
She had dreamed of going there!
In the evening, when their father came home and heard about it, he gave his son a thumbs-up.
Now that the direction was set, they couldn't be tempted by anything else.
Although Peking University and Tsinghua University were top-tier universities, Nan ChaoYang already had his goal and ideals.
Before the official announcement of the college entrance exam scores, they shouldn't answer any phone calls!
Nan XiangWan, on the other hand, started waiting by the landline phone after dinner. She wanted to see if she would receive such a call too.
She was different from Nan ChaoYang; her requirements weren't that high.
If a call came, she would immediately accept regardless of the school!
However, she waited until ten o'clock at night, and the landline phone didn't ring even once.
Hmph!
It was infuriating!
On the sixth morning, Xiao Dong came to pick her up.
Nan XiangWan was leaving as the actor training for "Trembling Starry Sky" was about to begin.
Their father and younger brother saw Nan XiangWan off in the underground parking lot.
Nan Song held his daughter's hand, reluctant to let go, saying all sorts of things, wishing he could accompany her!
Nan ChaoYang stood beside them expressionlessly, occasionally glancing at his sister with a hint of sadness.
She left again.
By the time she returned, he would probably have already started school.
Nan XiangWan waved goodbye to the two, and Xiao Dong drove away.
The training location was in Yong City, the capital of another province.
In terms of geography, it was very far from Shang Hai. It would take three hours by plane to get there.
So, Xiao Dong drove straight to the airport without going back to Shang Hai.
They arrived at Shang Hai International Airport around noon. After checking in their luggage, they entered the VIP waiting lounge.
Their manager, Cheng Xue, was already waiting there!
She was also going along because this training was very important, and she was worried. She wanted to have a look.
Little did she know, she caught sight of Nan Xiangwan with her short hair!
Cheng Xue exclaimed, "Ah—!"
In a state of panic, Cheng Xue hurriedly ran over and grabbed Nan Xiangwan's shoulder, shaking her vigorously. "President Nan, why did you cut your hair?"
Nan Xiangwan replied, "I consulted Director Pang, and he assured me that short hair wouldn't affect the film shooting."
Cheng Xue retorted, "But it will affect the girl group and idol image! Ah! The beautiful girl image has collapsed!"
Nan Xiangwan countered, "Are you sure my initial image of breaking bricks barehanded was that of a beautiful girl?"
Cheng Xue was left speechless.
She had no words to respond.
