Si Fuqing straightened up, locking eyes with him. “Because I want to contribute to the field of archaeology, for example, by finding Emperor Yin’s tomb.”
“Oh?” Yu Xiheng smiled faintly, his expression unreadable. “But he doesn’t have a tomb.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “How do you know he doesn’t have a tomb? He was the Dragon Sparrow of the Great Xia.”
“You also mentioned that I’m his fan, so naturally, I’ve read the historical records,” Yu Xiheng responded, swirling his tea gently, his voice calm. “He passed away on the way back from the Western campaign, and when he returned to Yong’an, all that remained was a box of ashes. He never built a grand tomb during his lifetime.”
This was indeed a passage recorded in the history books.
Si Fuqing remained silent for a moment, her eyes fixated on him. “What’s with your ‘pat on the back’ feature?”
Yu Xiheng hummed softly. “Yu Tang took my phone and changed it.”
Si Fuqing squinted at him. “Really?”
That did seem like something Yu Tang would do.
“Yes,” Yu Xiheng closed his eyes slightly. “But I think it’s rather amusing.”
Si Fuqing extended her hand. “I don’t find it amusing. Let me change it for you.”
Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow and obediently handed over his phone.
Si Fuqing opened the settings, made the changes, and handed it back to him. “Now I can ‘pat’ you anytime.”
Yu Xiheng glanced down and saw a new line of text appear on their chat screen.
[Little Fox patted you and took a gold brick from your pocket.]
His eyebrow arched even higher. “Shall we test it now?”
Suddenly, he grasped her wrist and slowly guided her hand to his suit pocket.
Si Fuqing felt a hard card inside—it was a black-gold card.
“You can use this to mine gold, as well as other mineral veins,” Yu Xiheng lightly tapped his finger on the card, smiling. “This is my gift to you for your college entrance exam results. Please, accept it.”
Si Fuqing was still in a daze when Little Bai grabbed the card with its mouth and stuffed it into her pocket.
Si Fuqing was speechless.
What a rebellious creature.

Soon, it was June 24th, the day when the college entrance exam results were announced.
This year, 11 million students participated in the college entrance exam across the Great Xia Empire, making the competition extremely fierce.
High school math was much harder than middle school math, and math was never her strong suit.
Especially during the three years of high school when she was busy with filming and variety shows, she hardly studied.
However, her image as a top student was solid, and her status as a child star was well-established, so there hadn’t been much backlash online.
But this score was too low, completely at odds with her image.
Even just looking at the ranking, it was disheartening.
“I’ll contact Great Xia Film Academy and see if you can still get in. If not, we’ll find another way,” the agent said after regaining his composure. “Tell the production team to stop any publicity. We can’t let this score get out.”
Since Song Wenhua was a celebrity, it was possible that her exam score could get leaked.
The agent had already prepared a series of public relations strategies.
If the score did get out, they could only claim it was someone with the same name.
Song Wenhua’s image must not collapse.
He took a deep breath and immediately went to find the public relations staff for “The Solitary Journey.”
As soon as he saw them, the PR staff smiled and said, “Congratulations to Miss Song on her excellent score. The production is thrilled to ride the wave of her success and boost our popularity.”
Upon hearing this, the agent’s vision darkened, realizing he was too late. He quickly said, “Has the trending topic already been posted? Don’t post it, take it down now!”
The PR staff noticed his grim expression and realized something was wrong. They quickly began making adjustments.
However, Si Fuqing’s popularity was too high. Any trending topic with her name skyrocketed, making it impossible to suppress.
Even her anti-fans were more active than the fans of other top celebrities.
Within minutes, the topic had surged to the top of the entertainment chart.

#Si Fuqing, Academic Background
[Indeed, Si Fuqing’s acting skills are top-notch, but her academic performance is a different story.]
[She’s quite smart. If only she applied herself to studying.]
[Betting that Si Fuqing won’t get into university this year and will have to retake the exam next year.]
[The comparison with Song Wenhua is brutal.]
The agent was on the verge of fainting.
This was a disaster.
