“Come on, let’s toast. Here’s to success in the college entrance examination!”

“Cheers!”

“May everyone get into a good university!”

Everyone raised their glasses, the clinking of glass resonating with their hearty laughter.

As spring faded into summer, the trees outside the window grew lush and green. The countdown to the college entrance examination, hanging in the classroom, gradually fell to zero.

The classroom, once filled with test papers and teaching materials, was emptied. All the class honor certificates that had adorned the walls were taken down. The blackboard at the back of the classroom was covered with thick brown paper.

June 7th arrived, heralding the much-anticipated college entrance examination.

Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling temporarily set aside their business affairs to accompany Gu Yang over the next two days.

Ruan Xueling personally prepared and supervised all three meals, ensuring that Gu Yang and the others ate nothing detrimental during this crucial period.

Gu Zhaoming took on the role of chauffeur, personally driving the three students to the examination venue.

Gu Yang felt that her parents were more nervous than the three of them.

In reality, they weren’t nervous at all. The Big Shot Sister and the little blood bank were very calm. As for herself, having been thoroughly tutored by the two Goddesses of Studying, she felt not panic but a bit of excitement.

On the day of the exam, Ruan Xueling wore a specially chosen cheongsam, predominantly red, exuding an ancient elegance and charm reminiscent of a beauty from the Republic of China. Gu Zhaoming sported a yellow vest, custom-made by Ruan Xueling, symbolizing “success” and “great results.”

The sun shone brightly as parents gathered under the shade of trees outside the examination venue of No. 1 Middle School.

“Check again. Did you bring your IDs and admission tickets? Pens, card paintbrushes, erasers…”

Ruan Xueling looked at the memo on her phone and helped Gu Yang and the others check the items they needed to bring.

Gu Yang and Feng Jue obediently counted the items in their document bags. “Yes, we’ve brought everything.”

Gu Jin, taking a sip from her bottle of mineral water, showed a hint of impatience in her cold eyes. “I’ve already checked it for the third time.”

Ruan Xueling put down her phone, a bit embarrassed. Noticing Gu Jin drinking water, she couldn’t help but advise, “Jin, don’t drink so much water before the exam. Otherwise, you’ll want to go to the toilet later.”

“During the exam, if you want to drink water, just take a sip. If you’re nervous, you can also take a sip or apply some oil to your temples…”

“Don’t be nervous during the exam. Just stay calm.”

Gu Jin leaned against the tree trunk and closed her eyes. How had she not noticed before how much Ruan Xueling could talk?

Gu Pei rolled his eyes. “Mother, why do I feel that you’re even more nervous than my sister and the others?”

To be honest, Gu Pei couldn’t tell if his sister, Gu Jin, or Feng Jue were nervous.

Gu Yang silently handed Ruan Xueling a bottle of mineral water, opening the cap for her. “Mom, drink some water.”

If she continued, she suspected that Big Shot Sister wouldn’t have the patience to take the exam.

“You’re really my good daughter,” Ruan Xueling said with a smile, taking the water.

At that moment, it was time to enter the examination hall. The examinees started heading to their designated halls.

Gu Zhaoming patted the shoulders of Gu Yang and the others one by one, his expression solemn. “Do your best. Don’t be nervous.”

Gu Pei waved enthusiastically. “Sister, you can do it! Gu Jin, Feng Jue, you two too.”

Jin City No. 1 Middle School was the examination venue for the college entrance examination. The second and first years were all on leave for the next two days, so Gu Pei didn’t have to go to class and came to see them off.

Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue were scattered in different exam halls. Before they separated, Gu Yang looked back at the two of them with a smile and clenched her fists. “Sister, Ah Jue, you can do it! We all have to get the best results!”
