"School is about to start, and Yilin will be taking the college entrance exam in a few months. If he continues to stay in North City and play, he might not be able to focus when he returns to school."
This was Third Brother Kang’s voice. He looked at Kang Li warmly and said, "If you have time over the summer vacation, take the kids and our parents back to the old home, and by then, you can stay in our family’s new house."
"Alright."
Kang Li, knowing that they couldn’t keep Third Brother Kang and Fourth Brother Kang’s families from leaving, smiled and nodded after hearing Third Brother Kang’s words.
It must be said that Third Brother Kang’s eldest son, Kang Yifei, was admitted to college two years ago. However, the university Kang Yifei attends is in South City, which is similar in nature to the ones attended by Kang Yichen and Feng Yi, all being military mand schools.
Due to training, Kang Yifei did not return during the winter vacation, and thus couldn’t spend New Year’s with the family.
"Auntie, I will try my best to get into a university in North City!"
Kang Yilin turned to Kang Li, speaking earnestly.
"Then make sure to review well in the remaining months!" Kang Li encouraged Kang Yilin. Then, she shifted her gaze to the eldest son of Fourth Brother Kang: "You must work hard too; next year’s college entrance exam is waiting for you!"
Kang Yifan stood up straight: "I will, I definitely won’t let you down, Auntie!" Saying this, he glanced at Kang Yilin, thought for a moment, and said, "Auntie, Brother Lin and Brother Hao have a bet to see who can bee the top scorer in this year’s college entrance exam."
As Kang Yifan spoke, everyone in the living room turned their attention to Kang Yilin.
As for not looking at Kang Yihao, it’s not that they didn’t want to, but because Kang Yihao, the second son of the second brother, wasn’t there. The couple of the second brother had already returned to their home.
Kang Yihao was naturally required to go back with them. After all, since the exam is a few months away, the second brother and his wife are very strict with Kang Yihao’s studies.
Because of this, everyone else in the Kang family locked their eyes on the second son of the third brother, Kang Yilin. Being watched so intently by everyone, Kang Yilin wished he could slap the back of his cousin Kang Yifan’s head.
Is there a brother like this who gets his sibling into trouble?
Even if they are cousins, they are still blood-related brothers. Why did you have to speak carelessly, kid?
Indeed, he did make a bet with that kid Kang Yihao in front of the brothers to see who could achieve the top scorer status for Old Kang’s family, but they had to keep it a secret from the adults until the exam results were out and reveal the bet after one of them won.
If neither of them won, not only they but the other cousins weren’t to mention it in front of the elders.
Now, thanks to this brat Kang Yifan, the secret was exposed before the exams even took place.
Thinking of this made Kang Yilin’s cheeks feel hot, but since the bet was out in the open, he had no reason to back down. Moreover, his grades had never slipped from the top of his class. If he worked even harder in these remaining months, he might just snag the title of top scorer in the college entrance exam.
Even if he can’t be the provincial top scorer, being the city top scorer would be good enough, since he has consistently ranked first in the county-wide exams. He should secure the county’s first place easily in the college entrance exam, barring any surprises.
"I did indeed bet with Kang Yihao to see who could earn the top scorer’s title for Old Kang’s family again. I will work hard!" Kang Yilin said earnestly and firmly, standing up straight and proud.
Even if it doesn’t go as planned, at least he tried!
"Go for it! If you encounter difficult problems, ask your teachers, and you can also call Aunt over the weekend to prepare thoroughly for the college entrance exam. This way, even if you don’t bee a top scorer, at least you will have done your best because you’ve made the effort."
Kang Li smiled gently, her eyes soft: "But don’t put too much pressure on yourself, alright?"
"Okay."
Kang Yilin nodded.
At this moment, Kang Yifan said, "Brother Lin, please don’t blame me for speaking out. I revealed your bet with Brother Hao to boost your motivation to study, definitely not with ill intentions, I swear!"
Raising his right hand, Kang Yifan made a vow.
"No need." Kang Yilin gave a side glance at Kang Yihao and said, "I said I would work hard, and I will. With my grades at school, I just might be able to bring our family another top scorer, following Auntie!"
Kang Yifan felt like he was being looked down upon, so he solemnly said, "I can too!"
"Kid, don’t boast."
Kang Yilin took a jab at Kang Yifan: "Although your grades at school are okay, your rankings fluctuate a lot, and as far as I know, your best rank was just fifth in your grade."
