Chapter 606
On June 7, C Shi heated up early in the morning.
The morning sun spread across the gate of Lan Lin Middle School, dyeing the red banners pulled up on both sides even more vivid.
Several cars bearing the 'College Entrance Exam Dedicated' sign parked by the Future Path, and parents, teachers, and volunteers sending examinees lined up in several rows at the gate.
Mu Youyu leaned against the car door, looking through the window at the crowd in front of Lanlin Gaozhong's gate, pressing down her hat brim again, 'Did we come too early?'
Jiang Liangjin glanced at the time and reassured: 'Not early, but they still have a while before entering the venue.'
Yu Ci half‑rose from the passenger seat, chin resting on the seatback, 'Shall we first find a cool spot to wait? I can't stand standing here in the sun.'
Mu Youyu straightened up, 'You and A Nan go find a shop nearby to sit, I'll go over with A Jin later.'
Yu Ci felt hurt, 'Actually the car is quite cool, you're rushing me and A Nan just for your A Jin, I'll be heartbroken.'
Jiang Liangjin said nothing.
Mu Youyu couldn't help but laugh, 'Don't be sad, I'll treat you to ice cream later.'
Yu Ci raised a Condition: 'I want to eat a whole refrigerator!'
Mu Youyu: 'You're dreaming.'
'Half a refrigerator will do, right?'
Jiang Liangjin lazily reminded: 'You still owe her a refrigerator full of pudding!'
Gu Xingnan saw the situation, smiled and said: 'Let's go buy breakfast first.'
'Oh right, I haven't eaten yet.' Yu Ci then put away that exaggerated Expression, and together with him opened the car door and got out.
When the time was about right, Jiang Liangjin was the first to open his umbrella and get out of the car.
Mu Youyu adjusted her sun‑protection clothing, hid under his umbrella, and when she lifted her head she happened to see Bai Yun and Xia Chao Yi getting out of another car.
Bai Yun wore the Lan Lin summer black‑white uniform, her hair tied in a Gaomawei, and she clutched a transparent document bag holding the items required for the exam.
Xia Chao Yi followed behind her, also wearing the uniform, but the collar was askew, as if he had hastily put it on.
Bai Yun walked ahead, her peripheral vision sweeping over, and in an instant she froze, 'Xiao Youyu? I thought you were only coming this afternoon.'
Mu Youyu: 'We're going to A City this afternoon, no time to stay here.'
Xia Chao Yi broke into a Smile: 'Sister Youyu, Brother Jin, good morning.'
Jiang Liangjin: 'Morning.'
Mu Youyu walked over to them: 'Morning, after you finish the exam we'll go eat.'
Bai Yun was very happy: 'Sure, sure.'
Soon after, Leng Yueyou and Mo Song arrived as well.
Mo Song wore a pair of thin‑rimmed glasses, revealing a bit of scholarly air in her quiet demeanor.
She stood before Mu Youyu, slightly nervous as she pinched the document bag, 'Sister Youyu, did you come especially to see us off?'
Mu Youyu replied warmly: 'Right, wasn't I supposed to cheer you on?'
She reached out and lightly touched Mo Song's cool fingers, 'Don't be nervous, just take the test as you usually do; your mock exam scores at school have been quite good, just keep a steady mindset.'
Leng Yueyou added reassuringly: 'What's there to be nervous about? You usually score better than I do; performing above normal is the norm.'
Mo Song: 'I'm working hard.'
As class monitor, Bai Yun immediately took over to liven the atmosphere: 'Exactly, just like before, we need to show the aura of our Class A! Steadying ourselves brings victory!'
This remark seemed to trigger a switch, and the Senior Year Class A students present began to clamor.
'The class monitor said it right—steadying ourselves brings victory!'
'Class A's output must be excellent!'
'Let those from Nan Feng see our strength!'
'Nan Feng student: You're sick!'
The parents looked at this group of half‑grown kids, their faces all showing affectionate smiles.
The teachers also nodded in relief.
Having Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin, these two great Buddhas personally seeing off the examinees makes a spectacle that Nan Feng could hardly match!
Mo Song was startled by the commotion, her face slightly warming, she whispered: 'Then… I'll go in first, my exam hall is farther away.'
Mu Youyu waved: 'Bye‑bye, Song Song, keep it up—you're the best!'
Seeing Mo Song enter the venue, Bai Yun linked arms with Mu Youyu, blinked, and said, 'Xiao Youyu, you came especially to see me, right?'
Jiang Liangjin silently stepped back behind his fiancée.
Xia Chao Yi waved his hand.
Mu Youyu habitually coaxed: 'Of course I came especially to see you.'
Bai Yun felt soothed in body and mind by those words, the corners of her mouth turning up.
'She's lying, she's clearly here just to see me!' Leng Anzhi came over, put an arm on Mu Youyu's shoulder, teasing with a grin, her own father trailing behind.
"I don't care, I really don't care." Bai Yun "humph"ed, then looked again at Mu Youyu, "You'll wait at the door for us to come out, right?"
"Here." Mu Youyu nodded, "You guys do your best, don't feel pressured."
Bai Yun's smile deepened, "Save that talk for others; I don't need encouragement—I'm the type who only gets nervous after the exam."
"But if you're willing to hold up a banner at the door, it'd be even better."
At that moment, several boys from Class A actually produced a few red-background yellow-character banners from somewhere unknown, shoved them into the hands of a few Blue Maple teachers nearby, "Remember, don't lose the momentum!"
The teachers were both laughing and crying, but they still took them, "Got it."
Mu Youyu raised her eyebrows to indicate, "I don't need to take it."
Leng Anzhi didn't see the other two from F4, asking, "Just the two of you came?"
Mu Youyu curled her lips, "Nope."
Yu Ci walked over from the side, arm around Gu Xingnan's shoulder, holding two breakfasts, interjecting: "Here, this!"
Leng Anzhi glanced at the breakfast he was holding, "You guys haven't eaten yet?"
Getting ready to eat.
Eat more, come when you're full.
Okay, Anzhi, good luck on your exam.
I know, I know.
Leng Anzhi chatted a few words with the two, then prepared to enter the exam hall.
Father Leng doted: "My dear daughter, cheer up, grades don't matter, don't tire yourself out!"
"What are you saying, defeatist talk?" Leng Anzhi entered the school gate without looking back.
Leng Yueyou saw her father, said nothing, and also went into the exam hall early.
Father Leng, as usual, ignored her.
Bai Yun and Xia Chaoyi also entered the exam hall one after another.
Mu Youyu and a few others stood for a while in the shade at the school gate, then went back to the car to play games.
……
After about two and a half hours, the flow of people outside the exam hall finally began to loosen, and examinees trickled out from the Lan Lin or Nan Feng school gates.
After a while longer, Mu Youyu and the others came out of the car.
Mo Song had already come out earlier, now being surrounded by concerned teachers.
At that moment, Bai Yun also leisurely came out of the school gate, she walked over to Mu Youyu's side, her expression much more relaxed than before entering.
Mu Youyu smiled, "Little Yun, you've worked hard, how do you feel?"
Bai Yun: "I've never taken such an easy language exam! It felt like playing."
It wasn't the first time a student who finished the exam said something like that.
Several Lan Lin teachers' eyes lit up again and again, they smugly glanced at the teachers from Nanfeng Gaozhong nearby.
Jiang Liangjin found it unsurprising.
Bai Yun put away the file bag, "Chaoyi came out earlier than me, I don't know what he went off to do."
