Chapter 304: The Scores Are Out

"She is in surgery."

Jiang Cheng pulled him to sit down, "There is no use in us worrying now, let's just wait."

"Mom will be fine."

Jiang Cheng nodded along, "Right, Mom will definitely be okay."

The two brothers did not speak again, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the entrance of the operating room.

Si Rong and Xu Yan sat there, chatting in low voices about their mother-in-law.

"We are so blessed to have such a good mother-in-law," Xu Yan had only given birth to a daughter, yet her mother-in-law had never said a single word against her.

Si Rong agreed, "Yes, although Mom is in good health, she is getting on in years after all. Once she is discharged this time, I plan to bring her home to live with us."

Their mother-in-law was a woman of firm resolve who disliked troubling others, and they were still uneasy about her having only a young nanny by her side.

"Sister-in-law, I was thinking the same thing," Xu Yan followed up, "If you take her first, then we will wait a few months, or if you have matters to attend to, we can take her."

She knew that Si Rong's two children had just finished the College Entrance Examination and were at a stage where they needed care.

"Alright."

After more than three hours, the door to the operating room finally opened.

Hu Qian had suffered a minor cerebral hemorrhage; the rescue was timely, and there were no major issues.

At the time, everyone was very happy, not expecting that the problem would only be discovered two days later.

Hu Qian was unable to get up and walk, and half of her body was stiff and numb.

After examining her, the doctor said it might be a sequela.

With a heavy heart, Si Rong brought her mother-in-law to their home and took meticulous care of her every day.

Soon, half a month passed, and the College Entrance Examination results were released.

With excitement, Jiang Sinian and his sister opened the computer.

Jiang Siyu: 609

Jiang Sinian: 608

"Ahhh! I scored one point higher than you!" Jiang Siyu was overjoyed and jumped up on the spot.

Jiang Sinian raised his hand and tapped her on the head, "Isn't it still the same school as me?"

Their scores were enough for Huai Da without any issues.

"I wonder how Yue-meimei did?" While Jiang Siyu felt relieved for herself, she began to worry about Jiang Yue.

"Brother, shall we go see her together?"

Jiang Sinian opened another page, "I have things to do, you go yourself!"

"Tch!" Jiang Siyu made a face, "Yue-meimei even dyed her hair a new color, it's so pretty!"

"Just like you, an Avatar?" Jiang Sinian mocked his sister without mercy.

Jiang Siyu:...

She scurried to the next room and saw Jiang Yue sitting by the desk reading a novel.

She didn't know why she liked reading so much; Jiang Siyu stood on tiptoe and quietly covered her eyes from behind.

"Guess who I am?"

Jiang Yue let her cover them, the protagonist smiling slightly; how old were they now, yet this game had not grown tiresome after all these years.

"I can't guess," she cooperated.

"Hahaha! Sister-in-law, it's me, Juzi!" Jiang Siyu jumped away, but seeing that Jiang Yue did not play along, she said very seriously, "Siyu, don't make jokes like that in the future."

She did not want to make Jiang Sinian feel troubled.

Jiang Siyu pouted and acted spoiled, "Don't you like my brother anymore?"

Then how could she be her sister-in-law?

She wanted a sister-in-law!

"Like me instead," Jiang Siyu said affectionately, "Woman, I can't live without you."

Jiang Yue rubbed her head, "What nonsense is this? I just checked, you scored 609 points; we can both go to Huai Da together, no need to be separated."

"Really? How much did you score? Did you get 620?"

"619."

Jiang Yue was very confident in her results and checked them calmly.

"Amazing! Let's go somewhere to celebrate!" Jiang Siyu suggested.

"Didn't you check the group chat?" Jiang Yue shook her phone, "The class monitor suggested everyone get together tonight."

"That's true, once we start university, everyone will be scattered to the corners of the earth." Jiang Siyu took out her phone, looked at the guy in the group using Doraemon as his avatar, and bit her lip.

She wondered how that guy did on his exam.

However, with that guy's cocky personality, if he had done well, he probably would have already called by now.

There was a hint of worry in the girl's eyes.

Soon, the class group received the address from the class monitor; it was a campsite, and he said they could use the remaining class funds to rent some tents and a barbecue grill.

The students could bring some ingredients to the campsite for a barbecue.

"Let's go to the supermarket?" Jiang Siyu pulled Jiang Yue, "And buy some things for the barbecue tonight."

"It's so hot outside," Jiang Yue was a homebody, and she was still thinking about the book she had only half-finished, "Let's just find something in the fridge later; my mom loves to stock up, there's everything in the fridge."

"How can that be the same as buying it ourselves?" Jiang Siyu helped her insert her bookmark and forcefully pulled her up, "Woman, you must go with me today!"

Finally succeeding in pulling Jiang Yue out the door, "Did I look like a domineering CEO just now?"

"Not really, that was just pestering," Jiang Yue teased.

The two went to the shopping mall closest to home.

"It's so hot!" Jiang Siyu tied up her hair, "Let's order two Little Snows first!"

Jiang Yue nodded.

Before even going in, they saw Jiang Sinian standing at the entrance of a Luckin Coffee next door, together with his two good friends.

"What are you here for?" Jiang Sinian assumed his little sister had followed him out.

Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes dramatically, "None of your business, I'm buying milk tea."

"Wait here!" Jiang Sinian's gaze swept over Jiang Yue, who was beside her.

She had indeed changed her hair color.

Before long, Jiang Sinian came out with two iced drinks, one strawberry shake, his silly little sister's favorite.

One grapefruit juice.

He remembered that Jiang Yue liked this flavor very much.

"Thank you!" Jiang Yue took it and thanked him generously.

Jiang Sinian urged Jiang Siyu, "Go home after playing for a while, it's hot outside."

"Got it!" Jiang Siyu found him annoying and had already pulled Jiang Yue into the mall, only waving her hand at him with her back turned.

Jiang Sinian rejoined his buddies and heard one of them say, "How come I never realized before that Jiang Yue is actually quite pretty?"

Pretty?

When Jiang Sinian looked over again, he only saw a pale blue skirt hem, elegant and graceful.

A midsummer evening is the perfect time for camping.

Students gathered in groups of three or five, all discussing their College Entrance Examination scores and the schools they wanted to attend in the future.

Bai Mo sat together with her deskmate Yuanyuan and another girl.

"Momo, what score did you get?" Yuanyuan asked impatiently.

Bai Mo smiled faintly, her eyes constantly searching for Jiang Sinian's figure in the distance.

"It's a secret for now, I'll tell you in a bit."

Yuanyuan understood her intentions, "Got it, we just don't have enough face, we have to wait for someone to arrive before we can know."

Bai Mo was indeed waiting for Jiang Sinian.

Soon, Jiang Sinian arrived, followed by Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue.

The three of them looked like a family, and the students in the class were already used to it.

"Jiang Sinian, what score did you get?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked.

There was nothing to hide about the score, so Jiang Sinian replied to her, "608 points."

"Momo, what score did you get?" Zhu Yuanyuan immediately asked again, deliberately trying to pull these two people into the same topic.
