Chapter 261: Giving You a Chance to Become a Top Scholar?

"It's okay, not too bad, right?" Zhang Qingqing said.

An Yinan smiled without answering, instead saying to her, "Come over and taste the milk tea."

Zhang Qingqing blinked her eyes, "It's ready so soon?"

After she took the bowl, smelling the mixture of milk and tea fragrance, the slightly brownish liquid, "It smells so good."

The young girl blew on it, then took a sip along the edge of the bowl; the mellow taste upon entering her mouth, "No wonder they all praise it endlessly, it's so delicious. Now I regret it even more; I should have come to find you sooner."

Milk tea is truly a favorite for young girls.

An Yinan poured the remaining milk tea into four thermoses, then cut the steamed white flour cakes into pieces and wrapped them in oil paper.

"Coming with me to deliver the food?" An Yinan asked.

Zhang Qingqing asked doubtfully, "Me, can I?"

An Yinan countered, "Why not?"

"Okay! I'll go." The little girl quickly finished the milk tea, then stood up and picked up two thermoses.

It was hard for An Yinan to imagine that this girl and the girl at the initial party were the same person.

The two of them took the thermoses directly to the dormitory, along with those white flour cakes.

"Sister-in-law, should I pour the contents out?" Xiaokang said.

An Yinan waved her hand, "Don't bother, it'll get cold later. Once you've finished eating at noon, just give the empty thermoses to your Battalion Commander Chen, and let him take them back."

Xiaokang said quickly, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

An Yinan waved her hand and left the dormitory.

This dormitory was the male comrades' dormitory; every time she delivered things, she would just bring them to the door and let them take them in themselves.

"Do you often bring them things?" Zhang Qingqing looked at An Yinan's familiar manner, guessing that such things happened often.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Not exactly often, every few days or so. This group of people is far from home, and everyone has their own story. I just send some food from time to time; I can't help with anything else."

Zhang Qingqing nodded thoughtfully. She discovered that regarding An Yinan, she thought she understood, but found that she only understood a little bit.

Kind, brave, meticulous, hardworking, studious?

Zhang Qingqing thought, if only she had admitted her mistake sooner.

"Are you coming back with me?" An Yinan asked.

Zhang Qingqing quickly waved her hand, "I won't go. I want to start studying hard. I plan to take the College Entrance Examination; I want to go see a bigger stage."

An Yinan gazed at her and burst into a laugh, "Okay, keep it up, I believe you can."

"Keep it up." Zhang Qingqing clenched her fists and then smiled too.

The brief contact allowed Zhang Qingqing to let go of her inner knot and also allowed An Yinan to understand this girl.

In the time that followed, Chen Xun accompanied An Yinan to register.

"The exam is soon, is there anything you need to buy?" Chen Xun asked in detail.

An Yinan thought about her things; everything was well-prepared. She had been doing translations, and she had an endless supply of pens, ink, and paper.

"No need, it's all enough." An Yinan smiled and shook her head.

Chen Xun ruffled her soft hair, "Going to Beijing soon?"

An Yinan blinked mischievously, "Reluctant to let me go?"

Chen Xun pulled her into his arms, "Reluctant!"

Especially these past two years, he had grown accustomed to her always being by his side. Suddenly, she was going to take the university entrance exam, and he really was reluctant.

"Then what should we do? Put you in my pocket and take you to Beijing?" An Yinan teased amusingly.

Chen Xun nodded seriously, "That's not impossible!"

An Yinan's face bloomed like a flower, laughing until she couldn't stand straight.

She rarely saw Chen Xun being so shameless. The more they understood each other, the more she discovered his wisdom and steadiness; all his wisdom and steadiness were placed in his missions and in his training.

Only when he was with her was he completely simple and honest.

The time for the exam arrived quickly; this was the only winter College Entrance Examination in history.

"Pen, admission ticket, identification, scratch paper, are they all packed?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan kept nodding, saying, "They're all packed, they're all packed."

Her exam location was in the County, and Nike Dashu had cleared out a room in advance for the Military District families to use for the College Entrance Examination.

Otherwise, the distance between the Military District and the County was too far, and getting up early and returning late every day with snow covering the ground was really not very convenient.

"Wear more clothes. If it's too cold at old Nike's place, just put the cotton-padded coat over yourself." Chen Xun specifically took out a military overcoat and put it on An Yinan.

The originally slender young girl was wrapped into a ball by him.

"Bring your water bottle, fill it with hot water, and take a few sips when it's cold to warm up."

"I've put these exam things in oil paper for you, don't let them get wet."

Chen Xun gave instructions one by one; everything he could think of, he exhorted in detail.

"Alright, why are you more nervous than me?" An Yinan looked at Chen Xun amusingly.

Chen Xun ruffled her hair, "This is your dream. I hope your dream comes true."

Because this is your dream!

I cannot bear to see you disappointed.

The exam lasted for two days. After An Yinan finished the last subject and walked out of the exam hall, she saw that tall and straight figure. His eyes, like a hawk's, looked straight at her.

When their eyes met, his gaze gradually softened.

An Yinan curled her lips, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Why did you come?" Walking to his side, she asked curiously.

At the time, they had agreed that Nike Dashu would take everyone back to the Camp together.

Chen Xun took the things from her hands, then held her hand, "I delivered something to the Chief, and just happened to come by to pick you up."

He pulled her straight to the car, started it, and headed home.

Upon arriving home, the room was very warm; she took off her heavy military overcoat and took everything out to place on the table.

Chen Xun looked at her expression and asked softly, "How did the exam go?"

An Yinan thought for a moment, "If nothing unexpected happens, I might bring back a top scholar title for you?"

Hearing An Yinan's joke, Chen Xun smiled good-naturedly, "Seeing your mindset, it certainly won't be bad."

He had been very worried just a moment ago, not knowing whether to ask or not.

Many of those who had just finished the exam came out crying, likely because they hadn't done well.

But his own wife had come out with a face full of smiles, which had actually left him stunned.

"That's right, just wait for the good news," An Yinan replied confidently.

These days, the letters between friends had become more and more frequent; if there were questions they didn't understand over there, they would write letters to send over, and everyone was also discussing the majors they were applying for back and forth.

An Yinan was too far away, but everyone attached great importance to the suggestions she gave.

Amidst the anxiety of the Educated Youths, one admission letter after another was issued.

"Didn't they say the later review was for a long time? In my opinion, it was just so-so," Wang Chunmei said while cooking.

"Who knows, I heard Zhao Jiang's admission letter has arrived; the Captain just had someone come to notify us," a male Educated Youth said enviously.
