Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After the language exam ended in the morning, the language teacher of Class One, Tao Yan, blocked Gu Jin at the school gate. She looked at her persistently with resentment in her eyes. “Student Gu Jin…”

The corner of Gu Jin’s mouth twitched. “I wrote the essay.”

Tao Yan’s worried heart finally relaxed, and her smile was brighter than a flower. “Okay, okay.”

After the Chinese Literature exam ended, everyone was talking about the college entrance examination essay.

Even Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling asked what the essay topic was.

Gu Pei scratched his head in confusion. “Why are you all only asking about essays?”

Ruan Xueling said, “Do we have to ask about literature? We’ve graduated for so many years. The only part we can understand and discuss are the essays.”

Gu Pei,

Gu Jin: “I don’t think you can understand the essay questions either.”

Ruan Xueling: ??? Who are you looking down on?

Gu Yang explained, “The essay prompt this time had a long paragraph…”

Ruan Xueling: “…” Sorry for disturbing you.

Gu Pei was shocked. “How terrifying!”

After the language exam in the morning, everyone’s reaction was similar. Since language exams were more subjective, even top students couldn’t accurately estimate their scores.

However, the math exam in the afternoon was different. After the exam, everyone had a clearer idea of their performance.

The difficulty of the math test this time was higher than in the past few years. After Gu Yang finished answering the questions, there was only enough time to check once.

As soon as they left the examination hall, they heard examinees crying. Most of them had solemn expressions.

Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling had clearly heard about the difficulty of the exam outside the exam venue, so they didn’t dare to ask Gu Yang and the others how they did, afraid that it would affect their mood.

Gu Yang could tell that Ruan Xueling was worried. After getting into the car, she smiled. “Although the exam this time was very difficult, we did okay.”

Ruan Xueling patted her chest in relief. “That’s good, that’s good. I saw one of your classmates crying just now. I was shocked.”

Gu Yang noticed familiar faces at the school gate, and those classmates were watching the three of them, so she didn’t show that they had done well. She kept her expression neutral and said, “Yeah, it was tough for everyone.”

The three of them were firmly in the top three of No.1 Middle School. After the exam, the other students would inevitably want to see their reactions.

Usually, this wouldn’t be an issue, but this was the college entrance examination. It could affect the lives of many people, and Gu Yang wanted to avoid influencing anyone else’s mood.

That night, their friends in the No.1 Middle School Group WeChat group were also talking about the college entrance examination from that day. They tacitly avoided discussing answers and instead complained about the difficulty of the questions.

Zhu Di, who wasn’t good at math, was particularly depressed: [This math was too difficult! I asked for a derivative!]

Lu Mao tried to comfort him: [Don’t worry. Didn’t the school announcement in the afternoon say that? Generally speaking, when math is difficult, comprehensive science is simpler.]

It was probably because too many students had broken down and cried after the math exam. The principal of No.1 Middle School, worried that it would affect the students’ performance in the following exams, had specially broadcasted a message of encouragement over the campus radio.

Gu Yang privately messaged Zhu Di and gave her a brief psychological counseling session to help her feel better.

June 8th, the second day of the college entrance examination.

Ruan Xueling changed into a green cheongsam, symbolizing “Green light all the way.”

As it turned out, the leader of No.1 Middle School was quite reliable. The comprehensive science paper on the second day was indeed simpler than in previous years.

However, before the final English exam, there was a traffic accident.

Due to the influx of parents sending their children to the exams, private cars were not allowed to park at the school gate to maintain order. For the past two days, Gu Zhaoming had been driving Gu Yang and the others to the examination venue, parking by the roadside some distance from the school gate. After everyone got out of the car, he would drive to a nearby parking lot.

Just as he drove away this time, a car suddenly lost control and rushed toward Gu Yang and Gu Jin.

The car sped towards them with alarming speed and precision, clearly targeting them.

In a flash, Gu Jin only had time to push Gu Yang towards Feng Jue. To her surprise, Ruan Xueling suddenly intervened, pushing her aside.

In that split second, the car crashed into Ruan Xueling.
