She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1084 - 898: Super Star 72

No matter how busy she was with her studies, she never forgot to take time to attend classes at the Central Music College. But to think that taking courses for a semester or two would make her creative, that’s impossible. From the start, she didn’t want Liang An to pin his hopes on her.

The release date for "Youth Diary" was set right after the New Year, with a release on June 26th. The film wasn’t given many screenings, and there wouldn’t be much promotion in the early stages. As Liang An put it in his words, its success depended entirely on luck.

The theme song and ending song were sung by the film’s male and female leads. When Ling Yao heard she didn’t have time, he also turned it down.

Although Hua Yan didn’t compose the theme song, she did write an interlude based on the plot. This interlude was clear and melodious, paired with Hua Yan’s distinctive voice, performed as a solo a cappella piece in the movie. The scene was added in post-production, interwoven as a memory. It was recorded in half a day due to familiarization.

This piece is her original creation, with no other instruments or harmony, just a piano solo with a cappella, rich with a campus feel and fitting the film’s themes well.

Afterward, she focused all her attention on preparing for the Gaokao, taking on voiceover work only during free time, and managed to wrap everything up before mid-May.

When June arrived, the tension of senior year could be felt from the moment you stepped onto campus.

The time allocated for specialized courses was shortened to two hours, with the remaining time dedicated to studying cultural subjects.

Finally, June 7th arrived.

Although it wasn’t Hua Yan’s first time taking the Gaokao, she couldn’t help but feel nervous as the atmosphere set in. Fortunately, she managed to finish the exams smoothly without any issues.

After the Gaokao, an excited Molly wanted to take Hua Yan out for fun, but Hua Yan gently declined because she planned to finish advancing Level 6 before the Gaokao results came out, allowing her to control her transformation time freely.

Molly didn’t get her wish. Although disappointed, she understood the gap between herself and Hua Yan. Somehow, she even persuaded Ning Hao to travel along the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan route with her, promising to cover all the expenses.

But Ning Hao wasn’t poor. His pocket money came from renting out parking spaces under his property management each year.

His everyday expenses were managed by his uncles. In fact, Hua Yan had suggested he rent his house out, but Ning Hao thought about it and decided against it. He felt keeping the house unchanged was like having his parents by his side. Even if he had to tighten his spending and keep track of everyone’s aid to him, he didn’t want to rent it out for income.

Hua Yan knew how much money Ning Hao had, so she directly transferred twenty thousand yuan to Ning Hao’s account.

"I can’t go, so go for me. Take lots of photos, and follow your Sister Molly closely. Don’t just become a bookworm; going out for a walk is good for the mind and body. After all, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."

Hua Yan’s support was probably the only thing Ning Hao couldn’t refuse, after all, he owed this kindness long ago. The twenty thousand probably even included Molly’s expenses. The warm-hearted Sister always thought so thoroughly.

Although he had enough money for a trip, he didn’t intend to spend extravagantly like a rich girl. It wouldn’t be a budget trip, but for safety, he suggested joining a ten-day group tour where food and accommodations were arranged. Initially, Molly wasn’t keen, but Ning Hao said, if you’re unwilling, then never mind. I’m traveling not to spend heavily but to relax, since the money I have now is all from others’ aid, unlike you, who doesn’t have to worry about money with someone supporting you.

The last sentence hit a nerve with Molly, reminding her intermittently of what Hua Yan had told her before. She pouted and reluctantly agreed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

It seems that to change one’s lifestyle requires a process after all!

Thinking of the simple life in Country H, she felt that studying abroad there would definitely be a process of refinement.

It’s just as well, she thought, to fully indulge in wandering before leaving. Although the child isn’t (mainly) that (too) obedient, you can’t deny that there’s some truth in what he says, leaving you with no reason to refute it. Indeed, a child brought up by Hua Yan has a trace of her way of handling matters.

For others, the days waiting for results were both anxious and uneasy, a feeling of being unable to enjoy yourself fully. That year’s Gaokao had three examinees in their grade: herself, Molly, and Jin Yuanqing, who had been recommended for admission since the first year of high school.
