She didn't bother looking at the ranking below.
She stared intently at the second name.
A freshman in the fifth grade?
She could only think of an apprentice of a certain senior teacher. In the history of the association, which new and old member had reached the fifth grade without the guidance of a teacher before entering?
She turned her eyes to the name—
Qin Ran...
It was Qin Ran again!
From the college entrance examination to now, Qin Yu, who had finally managed to calm herself down, stared at the name again and dug her fingernails deep into her palm.
Same name... it must be the same name!
She didn't believe that someone who hadn't played the violin for a long time could reach the fifth grade of the Violin Association without a teacher or guidance of the association!
She closed the ranking page on the computer furiously.
But she was a little distracted during her violin practice.
Because she knew that Master Wei had attended Chen Shulan's funeral.
If not for the fifth grade, she would be 80% sure that it was indeed Qin Ran. But with the fifth grade, she simply couldn't bring herself to believe that Qin Ran's violin was so much better than hers. After all, Qin Ran hadn't even taken the exam for the amateur fifth grade, so how could she be fifth grade in the association?
"Have you seen the freshman?" Qin Yu held her violin and couldn't help but turn and ask the person beside her.
The guy who had just spoken shook his head and lowered his voice."I've never seen her before. I heard she stays in the training room even during her meals. And, strangely, no one has taken a picture of her."
"Really..." Qin Yu felt slightly relieved.
Then it was even more unlikely to be Qin Ran...
Did she not know Qin Ran? She always had a short period of enthusiasm when learning things and would never be so determined.
It was absolutely impossible to keep her trapped in a room all day.
For two days, Qin Yu deliberately observed the second floor. She arrived earlier and left later than others. Even under such circumstances, she still didn't see Qin Ran on the second floor.
There were only so many people on the second floor. If she didn't see her, it was probably not her...

Inside the house.
Ouyang Wei was sitting on the chair in the Cheng family's living room, her hand on the armrest of the sandalwood chair, a blanket on her backrest, and another on the chair.
"Dad, if it wasn't for Miss Ouyang, we wouldn't have found any news of the Daylily this time." Cheng Raohan sat opposite Ouyang Wei. His face had some fine lines, but the handsomeness of his youth was still visible between his brows.
Ouyang Wei put down her teacup and smiled at this."Uncle Cheng, you can just address me by my name. This matter is simply a small deal."
Knocking on the handrails, Old Master Cheng turned and whispered something to Butler Cheng. He took out a box from inside and said, "This is a little show of our appreciation."
When Ouyang Wei didn't reach out to accept it, Old Master Cheng muttered, "Take it, treat it as a gift from me."
Although she didn't want it, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Then I'll ask them in the evening when it's convenient to meet." Ouyang Wei didn't stay long and said goodbye to the Cheng family after drinking a sip of tea. Butler Cheng sent her out of the gates.
Deep in thought, Old Master Cheng didn't return to his room and just waited for Butler Cheng to return before heading out.
After they left, several elders from the Cheng family gathered around Cheng Raohan.
"Young Master, you've really made a great contribution this time. It seems like Miss Ouyang's status in 129 isn't low." The elders didn't leave and smiled at Cheng Raohan."I heard that this time, only one bottle of the Daylily is left. Miss went to the auction house last night, so I thought she would be the one to obtain it, but unexpectedly..."
In the Cheng family, only Cheng Wenru had a VIP black card for the auction house, so she was usually the one who attended the auction.
"Second Sis?" Cheng Raohan picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and said casually, "She has been to my Third Bro's house recently."
The Cheng family didn't know of Qin Ran's arrival in Beijing.
Cheng Wenru had been in close contact with Cheng Juan and the little girl beside him recently.
After finishing the tea, Cheng Raohan couldn't help but wonder, if Cheng Wenru knew that she had missed Ouyang Wei as well as news of the Daylily, would she regret it?
Putting down the teacup, he stood up and sorted out his clothes before walking out with his hands behind his back.
The smile on the corner of his lips was obvious.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone to see Cheng Juan's girl after hearing Cheng Wenru's words, or he would have missed the meeting with Ouyang Wei.
Not long after he left, Cheng Wenru hurried over after getting off work.
But she didn't see Old Master Cheng.
After hearing that he had gone to Cheng Juan's place, she drove to the Ting Lan Apartment again.
**
It was rush hour, so the traffic jam was quite severe. When she arrived, it was almost seven o'clock.
Old Master Cheng had also only just arrived.
Qin Ran had yet to head upstairs to practice her violin. She received a video from Lin Siran as soon as she finished eating downstairs.
"Ran Ran, fill in your college entrance examination's applications today and tomorrow." Lin Siran held the phone in one hand and closed the curtains in her room with the other."This has to be filled in school. I couldn't find Old Gao last time."
"Applications?" Qin Ran squinted slightly."I'll help you fill it in."
"That's even better." Lin Siran was relieved."Then I'll go and play games."
Recently, Qin Ran had successively given out God cards to twenty people. Since it was the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, class 3. 9 was basically playing games every day.
Out of five players, three of them each had a God card.
This was a rare sight not only in the new districts but even in the first district. The Kyushu Tour's forum had been discussing why the God cards were so rampant but hard to obtain for others!
After hanging up, Qin Ran took her computer to the sofa and placed it on the table.
Cheng Wenru arrived at this time. Cheng Mu wasn't surprised when he opened the door and just greeted politely, "Miss."
Cheng Wenru nodded at him and put her bag on the table casually.
She saw Qin Ran sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard at a very high speed. She didn't seem to be playing games and was typing words instead, so she couldn't help asking, "Ran Ran, you're not practicing the violin today?"
"She's applying for schools." Cheng Juan sat opposite Old Master Cheng, leaning lazily on the sofa and speaking casually.
"Applying?" If it weren't for his reminder, Cheng Wenru would have forgotten that Qin Ran was a candidate for the college entrance examination this year.
But it was a little strange. Shouldn't their applications be completed in school?
But Qin Ran was in Beijing now, not in school, so how was she going to fill it in?
"Ran Ran, what school are you applying for?" she walked over to her and asked.
Qin Ran was now typing a string of codes.
Generally, the college entrance examination applications had to be filled in through the educational administration system of the high school, but for Qin Ran, it was only a matter of one or two minutes.
When Cheng Wenru walked over, she pressed the "enter" key.
Heng Chuan First Middle School's educational administrative system page appeared.
It showed the application page for the college entrance examination.
"Can you really fill it in?" Cheng Wenru glanced at it, very surprised.
Qin Ran typed in her student ID, exam ID, and ID number. She logged in directly and replied calmly, "Yeah. Our school's educational administration system can be accessed outside the school."
Pouring water on the side, Cheng Mu was speechless.
Cheng Wenru nodded."That's quite good. Back then, our university's educational administration system could only be logged in on campus."
She glanced at the university name filled in by Qin Ran.
She typed Beijing University on the first line.
As for her second and third applications... she didn't fill them in.
Cheng Wenru, who didn't know that Beijing University and University A were fighting for her, was speechless.
Qin Ran had a headache from being observed by Cheng Wenru. Before filling in Lin Siran's applications, she closed the computer and brought it up."I'm going to practice the violin."
Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng both watched as Qin Ran disappeared upstairs before looking away.
"Sit down." Old Master Cheng motioned for Cheng Wenru to sit before continuing, "Your eldest brother brought Ouyang Wei to the house in the evening."
At the mention of Ouyang Wei, Cheng Mu paused slightly while scrolling through his phone.
Only then did he remember that Ouyang Wei hadn't talked to him in a long time.
"Big Brother?" Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes involuntarily at the mention of the name."What for?"
"For the last bottle of medicine, " Butler Cheng stood beside Old Master Cheng and replied."Old Master also gifted Miss Ouyang an ancient jade."
"You gifted her an ancient jade?" Cheng Wenru frowned slightly."Was that necessary?"
Butler Cheng laughed."Miss, it's not only for the last bottle of medicine but also for goodwill. If Miss Ouyang can find the auction's seller, it'll be more than just an ancient jade."
Standing up directly, Cheng Wenru walked to her bag and unzipped it. She took out two small bottles from inside."You really don't have to! I have it!"
Old Master Cheng and Butler Cheng were shocked."Miss, where did you get it from?"
Even with ten bottles per month as normal, she could only obtain one bottle.
"It was from Ran Ran, " she replied.
Speechless, Old Master Cheng turned to look at Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan leaned back and said slowly, "She needs these too."
Lin Siran had first given these to Qin Ran because she saw that her lights were always turned on in the middle of the night, so she had wanted to cure her insomnia.
"Then I can't take it." Old Master Cheng frowned.
Butler Cheng's voice was loud, so Cheng Mu looked up involuntarily.
At a glance, he saw the two small bottles in Cheng Wenru's hand. He had sorted out most of Qin Ran's things and had taken over stuff from Lin Siran, so he was very familiar with the bottles' characteristics. Seeing this, he said calmly, "Oh, Old Master, you can just take it. Miss Qin has given it to me too."
