Chapter 443: I’m Just Too Young, Otherwise I’d Definitely Grab a University Spot

Chapter 443: I'm just too young—if I weren't, I'd fight for a college admission too

"Mr. Fu, did you really guess this year's college entrance exam questions?"

"Zhengtu, you're the top scorer in the county's history! If you're helping our students prepare, how many of them will get into university this time?"

Fu Zhengtu furrowed his brows deeply:

"Guessing questions? That's not true at all. Su Taotao signed up for the exam this year, and I just threw together some practice tests for her review."

Zhou grinned: "I've heard otherwise—the whole county is using your problems as study materials. If they match the real exam, you'll go down in history as the exam prophet!"

Fu shot him a glance: "Don't make it sound so grandiose."

Zhou dropped his smile and said seriously, "Zhengtu, a small favor may breed gratitude, but a big one can invite resentment. You have the best intentions, but I worry this might backfire."

He stopped there.

This had become common knowledge, which was indeed beyond Fu Zhengtu's expectations.

Today, Fu left work early and arrived home almost right behind Taotao:

"Tao Tao, this whole study guide situation has blown up. I'm worried it might cause trouble later."

She had started reviewing a year earlier than everyone else, so she was naturally going to perform better.

He wasn’t omniscient—he couldn’t predict the actual exam questions. Those tests were simply tailored to Taotao’s level, not actual exam predictions.

Even with the same materials, not everyone would pass. If Taotao got into the best university while most others didn’t make the cut, people might suspect he was holding back better material for her.

Even if he hadn’t, they’d still think he had.

In the end, instead of gratitude, he might face resentment.

That was human nature.

Taotao sighed:

"Secretary Zhou will handle it. I’ve already made it very clear to him, and he’s reminded the candidates repeatedly that these are just my personal review sheets—something to refer to for last-minute cramming.

The real focus should be on the actual curriculum and whether their foundations are solid. The exam won’t reuse these exact questions anyway.

I don’t know how it got twisted into you ‘predicting’ the exam—it’s driving me crazy too.

I’m sorry. I didn’t think this through, and now it’s causing you trouble."

She shouldn’t have been so well-meaning; it was starting to feel like good intentions gone wrong.

Fu shook his head:

"Not your fault. You had the best intentions. Here’s what we’ll do—have Secretary Zhou issue a notice. I’ll block off a day this weekend to hold a Q&A session and set the record straight myself."

Taotao asked, “But aren’t you swamped lately?”

Fu replied, “I can make it work.”

Taotao stepped forward and hugged him: “Thank you, Mr. Fu. I really appreciate you doing this.”

Fu Zhengtu ruffled her hair and smiled. "Silly girl."

The little boy combing Bai Bai's coat in the corner suddenly spoke up:

"Daddy, they won't get the questions you wrote."

Fu Zhengtu let go of Su Taotao and looked at his recently cheeky son. "What do you mean?"

Chenchen said, "They couldn’t even solve the simple questions Mom made. Yours are so hard—some stump me! How could they possibly understand them?"

Fu Zhengtu & Su Taotao: "..."

Buddy, it’s only because you haven’t started high school textbooks yet!

You’re just skimming through Uncle’s junior high books, learning a bit from him, and already ahead of middle schoolers who study diligently every day.

Once you finish high school textbooks with Uncle, you could coast through high school too!

Still, Chenchen did hit the nail on the head.

This year’s test-takers were generally weak.

But then again, the college entrance exam exists to sort the talented—only doing basic problems won’t set you apart; you’ll just get washed out.

That night, Fu Zhengtu prepared some review guides specifically for these students.

It took every spare minute over five days before he finally finished.

On the weekend, he and Su Taotao brought Fu Yuanhang, Chenchen, and Bai Bai—who absolutely refused to be left behind—to the County Hall auditorium.

Word spread that Fu was giving a lecture, and the whole town showed up, whether they’d signed up for the exam or not.

It was Fu, after all—that genius Fu, practically a legend, with looks like a god’s.

Who wouldn’t want to get a look at him?

What? Director Su, Fu’s younger brother, and his son had come too?

Even more reason to go!

Next thing they knew, a mob had gathered outside the auditorium.

There was no way the venue could hold everyone.

Secretary Zhou had no choice but to ask people to show their sign-up confirmations for entry.

Chenchen had his nose against the car window, watching the ocean of folks outside. He sighed.

"Uncle, college must be really fun—so many people scrambling to enroll.

Why don’t you try too? You may be no match for Mom, but I think you're better than all of them.

I’m just too young, otherwise I’d definitely snag a seat in college too!"

Fu Zhengtu & Su Taotao & Fu Yuanhang: "..."
