Father Lu Hu read out the scores from the bottom up, like scratching off a lottery ticket: Chinese, 0; math, 0; English, 0; science, 0. At least they were consistent.
Then he announced the second-to-last student's scores: Chinese, 50; math, 50; English, 50; science, 00.
Father felt like he couldn't breathe. This was looking good! Chinese, 150; math, 150; English, 150; science, 300. A perfect score!
His heart raced, his hands trembled!
It was time to check the gaokao results again!
Lu Yiming's parents looked even more nervous than he was!
A perfect score might seem like a fantasy to anyone else, but for our Yiming, it was just a stellar performance.
Now, the moment of truth!
