Chapter 249 Original Sin 58
The more Professor Zhang watched Yun Shuangshuang answer questions, the more delighted his expression became. Finally, looking at the dozen pages of paper full of answers in his hands, he sighed, "I’ve been teaching all my life, and I can count on one hand the number of genius students like you I’ve encountered!"
As he spoke, Professor Zhang couldn’t help but show a look of regret when he looked at Yun Shuangshuang, "With your talent, it’s such a pity you didn’t start school earlier. It simply buried your talent and potential!"
Yun Shuangshuang blushed at Professor Zhang’s praise. She knew herself well; anyone who spent two lifetimes obsessing over a diploma and studied hard would be seen as a genius. So, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t consider herself a genius.
Professor Zhang didn’t know what was on Yun Shuangshuang’s mind. He saw her blush and assumed she was shy. Smiling kindly, he said, "Wanting to obtain a university diploma is the right choice. In this society, no matter how great your talent and knowledge, without a diploma, people will look down on you."
He paused to ponder a bit before continuing, "However, you’re still young and at the right age for the college entrance exam. Therefore, I suggest you first take the exam because many top universities don’t accept students who haven’t taken it. Especially prestigious universities, they only accept students who enter through the exam. So if you want a diploma, you naturally want the best one."
Yun Shuangshuang was understandably tempted. Unlike students who fear the college entrance exam, in her past life, Yun Shuangshuang was envious of those who could take it. To her, experiencing the feeling of crossing a single-log bridge with thousands was a deep-seated desire because, in her past life, she couldn’t afford education early on and later, when she could afford it, she was too busy to attend school.
And this obsession still lingered to this day, just deeply suppressed. Now, Professor Zhang’s words stirred that suppressed desire within her!
Yun Shuangshuang felt a mix of excitement and hesitation in her heart. "Professor Zhang, I really want to take the college entrance exam, but I haven’t been to school, and I’m not a local. At my age, I don’t meet the high school’s admission standards!"
Professor Zhang laughed, "You don’t need to worry about that. I have an old friend who’s the principal of City No.1 Middle School in F City. I can put in a word for you to enrol as a special admit and take this round of the college entrance exam there."
"That would be incredibly kind of you. I’m really grateful for all your efforts!" Yun Shuangshuang was very thankful for Professor Zhang’s help.
