Chapter 1597: Chapter 1281: Betting on the Top Scholar
"No problem, I’ll bike with Brother Mo."
Feng Yi said this unusually briskly.
"Sister Kang Li, Big Brother Luo, see you."
Mo Yan gripped the handlebars and smiled at Kang Li and Luo Yanqing.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Kang Li smiled and dipped her head lightly.
"Brother Mo, let me take you."
Putting his own travel bag onto the back seat of the bicycle, Feng Yi took the handlebars from Mo Yan, then turned his gaze to Kang Li and Luo Yanqing: "Sis, brother‑in‑law, I’m off. Once I get to the post I’ll call home."
The two of them, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, nodded.
Watching Feng Yi ride off with Mo Yan, the couple withdrew their gaze and turned back into the courtyard.
"You remember everything, right?"
"Mm."
"One bag has your change of clothes, the other has snacks. When you get to the institute, remember to take them out, sort them a bit, then put them away properly in the locker."
"Got it."
Close to four in the afternoon, the car coming to pick up Luo Yanqing pulled to a stop at the courtyard gate. After carefully finishing her instructions to Luo Yanqing, Kang Li went out to the gate with him.
"Go back inside, it’s cold out here."
The travel bag in his hand was loaded into the car by the driver. Luo Yanqing looked at Kang Li, his eyes gentle and reluctant.
"I’m not cold."
"School’s about to start, and in a few more months Yilin will be sitting the college entrance exam. If we keep letting him stay here in North City and play, I’m afraid once he goes back to school his heart won’t be able to settle."
This was Third Brother Kang’s voice. He looked at Kang Li with a mild expression: "If you’ve got time during summer break, bring the kids and our parents back to our hometown. By then, just stay in our new house."
"Alright."
Knowing she couldn’t keep Third Brother Kang and Fourth Brother Kang’s families from leaving, Kang Li listened to Third Brother Kang and nodded with a smile.
By the way, Third Brother Kang’s eldest son, Kang Yifei, had already gotten into university two years ago. However, the university Kang Yifei attended is in South City, similar in nature to the schools Kang Yichen and Feng Yi go to—also military command universities.
Because he had to do intensive training, Kang Yifei didn’t come home for winter break, so he couldn’t spend the reunion New Year with the family.
"Little Aunt, I’ll work hard so I can get into a university here in North City!"
Kang Yilin faced Kang Li, speaking with a very serious look.
"Then make good use of these last few months and revise properly!" Kang Li encouraged Kang Yilin, then shifted her gaze to Fourth Brother Kang’s eldest son: "You’ve got to work hard too. Next year’s college entrance exam is waiting for you!"
Kang Yifan straightened his back: "I will, I definitely won’t let you down, Little Aunt!" As he spoke, he glanced at Kang Yilin, then said thoughtfully, "Little Aunt, my Brother Lin and Brother Hao made a bet to see who can get a top‑scorer title in this year’s college entrance exam."
As Kang Yifan’s words fell, everyone in the living room turned their eyes to Kang Yilin.
As for not looking at Kang Yihao, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to—it was that the second son of the second branch wasn’t even here, because Second Brother Kang and his wife had already gone back to their own home.
Naturally, Kang Yihao was required to go back with them. After all, there are only a few months left before the college entrance exam, and Second Brother Kang and his wife are very strict about overseeing Kang Yihao’s studies.
Because of that, at this moment everyone else in the Kang Family had their gaze locked on the third branch’s second son, Kang Yilin. With everyone staring at him without blinking, Kang Yilin wished he could immediately smack his younger cousin Kang Yifan on the back of the head.
What kind of little brother sets his brother up like this?
Even if they’re just cousins, they’re still blood-related brothers. That brat, why does he shoot his mouth off?
Yes, he and that kid Kang Yihao had made a bet in front of the brothers, to see who could earn Old Kang’s Home a second college entrance exam top scorer. But that was supposed to be kept from the adults until the scores came out—whoever actually made top scorer would then reveal the bet.
If neither of them got it, then not just the two of them, but the other cousins were all forbidden to mention it in front of the elders.
And now look, the college entrance exam hasn’t even happened and this brat Kang Yifan has already blown their cover.
Thinking of this, Kang Yilin felt his cheeks burning. But since the bet was already exposed, he had no reason to back down. Besides, his grades had never fallen off the throne of first place in the year. As long as he put in extra effort and pushed harder in these months before the exam, maybe he really could win that college entrance exam top‑scorer title.
If he couldn’t reach provincial top scorer, getting city top scorer would do as well. Anyway, in the county‑wide joint exams he still firmly holds the first‑place seat; barring accidents, he’s sure to take first in the county in the college entrance exam.
"I did make a bet with Kang Yihao to see who can get Old Kang’s Home another college entrance exam top scorer. I’ll work hard!" Kang Yilin lifted his head and squared his shoulders, speaking seriously and firmly.
