"Tomorrow is the final round of the sea selection," Ye Fei said. "The results should be out next week. I saw in the registration notice that the results should be announced before next Friday."

"Moreover, the judges will discuss and score, and finally list the fifty contestants who pass the sea selection from high to low," Ye Fei said.

Among the fifty contestants who pass the sea selection, there are also ten students from Changping Academy.

Just as Zhao Gushen mentioned before.

These ten students from Changping Academy do not participate in their sea selection.

Instead, they have their selection within Changping Academy.

It’s unclear whether the scores given to the Changping Academy students will be mixed with those of the regular sea selection contestants.

Competition at Changping Academy is intense, so the scoring might be more conservative; their scores shouldn’t be treated equally, right?

Ye Fei asked this question unconsciously.

Zhao Gushen explained, "They should be listed on the same table as yours. Although the level of competitors participating in the sea selection is different, the judges’ scoring standards are the same."

"In other words, within the sea selection at Changping Academy, if the 11th place scores 8 points, while your sea selection’s 41st place scores 6 points, the 11th place at Changping Academy still cannot enter the top 50."

"When the judges score you, it’s with the same strict criteria used for the Changping Academy students. Just that your first place here might score 8 points, while Changping Academy’s first place might score 9.5, or even higher. Then your first place has to be ranked lower."

Meaning that Changping Academy and the regular sea selection, although not competing together, are mixed in rankings after the scores are out.

Ye Fei nodded, indicating she understood.

After dinner, Ye Fei cleaned up the restaurant and kitchen.

She threw the pots and bowls into the dishwasher.

The dishwasher was gifted by the manufacturer, asking Ye Fei to feature it in an advertisement in one of her previous videos.

The dishwasher is big enough, and the pots Ye Fei uses are not too big, so they fit into the dishwasher.

After tidying up, seeing Zhao Gushen showed no sign of leaving.

Ye Fei had to ask him, "Would you like to drink something? How about some tea after dinner?"

Offering tea is a subtle hint to leave. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Thinking Zhao Gushen would understand, yet he unexpectedly agreed: "Alright."

Ye Fei smiled, having suggested it, she had to follow through on the hospitality.

While making tea, Zhao Gushen quietly walked in.

Zhao Gushen spoke only when he was beside Ye Fei, "I wanted to wait until Xiao Mo falls asleep before leaving, is that okay?"

Ye Fei was startled; this man walks without a sound!

Suddenly talking beside her.

Ye Fei’s heart raced, her hand shook, almost burning herself.

Thankfully, the boiling water did not spill.

Looking again, he stood so close, nearly touching her shoulder.

Ye Fei quickly put down the kettle.

Zhao Gushen immediately grabbed her hand, "Did you burn yourself? How could you be so careless? Are you always this rash when doing things?"

Ye Fei shook her head, "No problem, the water didn’t spill."

Thinking to herself, it was him who frightened her.

She usually wasn’t this careless when doing things.

However, Zhao Gushen actually understood the intent of her offering tea.

Thinking of him being Xiao Mo’s father, yet missing out on Xiao Mo’s growth.

Even now, he doesn’t have many opportunities to interact with Xiao Mo.
