Chapter 1206: Chapter 813: College Entrance Examination (Part 2)

Just took out the phone, then stopped.

What if I wake them up and they stay up all night. Just as I was hesitating, a red dot appeared on my social feed.

It was a post from Xu Qianqian.

"Are you guys asleep?"

Below, Song Xiyun had already replied.

"Not feeling sleepy."

Jiang Nian chuckled and responded, "I can’t sleep either, it’s a bit early."

Xu Qianqian: "Yeah."

Buzz, Jiang Nian received a private message from Xu Qianqian, "Are you asleep? Want to come over and chat?"

Jiang Nian was a little stunned, "Where to chat?"

"In the living room, what are you thinking?" Xu Qianqian replied, "(Eye roll) I’ll open the door for you."

Jiang Nian thought for a while and agreed.

"Okay."

In the master bedroom, Li Hongmei was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the door open.

"Where is he going so late?"

Old Jiang turned over and said helplessly.

"Where else could he be going?"

As soon as the words fell, he got hit. "How can you be such a father, not caring about anything?"

"How can I manage this?" Old Jiang rubbed his eyes, "The child has grown up, stop worrying unnecessarily."

"Is this a matter of growing up?" Li Hongmei was speechless, "Your son... forget it, we’ll talk after the exams."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Click, the bedside lamp was turned off.

....

Jingfu District, the lights were dim.

Li Qingrong was a bit thirsty and came out of the room to drink water. Glancing casually, she saw her sister by the bar.

"Hmm?"

"Can’t sleep." Li Lanying explained, "Sigh, the college entrance exam is tomorrow, I’m more nervous than you."

Li Qingrong was speechless, not interested in responding. She found a glass, poured half a cup of water, and drank it down in one gulp.

With a bang, she placed it on the bar.

"Don’t drink too much, you have to drive tomorrow." Li Qingrong said lightly, then turned and walked back to her room.

"Hey, Qingqing."

Li Lanying instinctively called out to her, "Did you put your ID in the exam bag? Will you be thirsty at the exam site?"

"No."

"Oh, alright." Li Lanying sighed and smiled, "Once you’re done with the exam, I’ll be relieved."

Hearing this, Li Qingrong turned back to look at her.

"Hmm."

On the other side, in Nanjiang Bay District.

Zhang Ningzhi pushed her endlessly chatting mom out of the room, "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."

"Then take a look at your mom’s new qipao." Mrs. Zhang spun around in front of her, "Baby, win with flying colors."

Zhang Ningzhi blushed a little, muttering.

"I’m so grown up, still being called baby."

"No matter how old you are, you’re still my baby." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Mom can call you that, but others can’t?"

That "others" was clearly just a placeholder. But in this home, it was undoubtedly a taboo word.

Zhang Ningzhi was stunned, feeling caught in a dilemma.

"I....."

"It’s okay, the college entrance exam is almost over." Mrs. Zhang said, "I won’t stop you, the promise still stands."

"A mother naturally worries about her children the most."

"You’re my only child, of course, I don’t want you to get hurt on a whim."

Zhang Ningzhi wanted to argue, but the words stopped at her lips.

"Hmm."

"I’ve been thinking, perhaps I made a mistake." Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter pursing her lips and understood her stubbornness.

Zhang Ningzhi doesn’t respond well to coercion, so she instinctively replied.

"No..."

She only said half and didn’t want to continue, "Mom, I have an exam tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ve said I won’t stop you." Mrs. Zhang said, "Just hope you won’t hold a grudge against mom."

"I won’t." Zhang Ningzhi shook her head, not exactly happy but relieved, "I’m going to rest now."

"Okay, goodnight."

Click, the door closed.

Zhang Ningzhi sighed, her mom probably meant well. Afraid she’d dwell on this and be distracted during the exam.

Thinking that saying it in advance would make her happy. If this conversation happened a month ago, maybe it would.

But now...

Suddenly, Jiang Nian’s call came in. Zhang Ningzhi panicked and hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"You..... you’re not asleep yet?"

"Yeah, are you crying?" Jiang Nian said with a smile, "Your mom called me to talk to you."

"My mom..." Zhang Ningzhi was suddenly a bit stammering, lowering her voice, "How does my mom have your number?"

"That I don’t know."

"Maybe... she admires me." Jiang Nian chuckled, "After all, I am the champion of the school soccer tournament."

Zhang Ningzhi: "...."

"You’re not really crying, are you?"

"No way!!"

"Then take your exam well, after that I’ll take you out." Jiang Nian said, "Your mom specifically allowed it, no objections at all."

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi immediately became cheerful.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you, if you don’t believe me." He said, "Aren’t you at home, go and ask her."

"Alright then."

The two of them continued their conversation for a while, and only then did Zhang Ningzhi hung up the phone with joy, her chest like a boiling kettle.

She cheered quietly for a while and then fell onto the bed.

Then, closed her eyes.

....

North District, boys’ dormitory.

Lin Dong turned over in the darkness, his heart pounding, but he had no sleepiness in his mind.

Just thinking about the college entrance exam tomorrow made him excited all over.

But, he couldn’t sleep.

"Sigh." He softly sighed, unable to relieve his excitement and afraid of disturbing his roommates.

Suddenly, a sigh sounded.

"Sigh."

Then, the sound of sighs followed one after another. It turned out the whole dorm was unable to sleep.

"What the heck?" Lin Dong sat up from the upper bunk, "No, it’s the college entrance exam tomorrow, and none of you are sleeping?"

"Can’t sleep." Zeng You said.

"Add one."

"Add two."

"Too excited, who can sleep? I’ve been closing my eyes since ten thirty, now it’s eleven thirty."

"Indeed, my mind is highly active. If we were taking the exam now, I’d be fine with a test paper."

Another roommate poked his head out from the side of the bed, half joking, "Then you could review now."

"Yeah!"

"Don’t be greedy." Lin Dong advised, "If you review now, you’ll forget it all by tomorrow."

Zeng You also agreed, "The best is not to memorize to death, just remember some key points and patterns."

"What’s the pattern?" The roommate was confused.

"It’s the core of each test point, the differences, keep repeating it, and you won’t forget."

"Damn!! Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Zeng You was baffled, looking down.

"You never asked me?"

The roommate was speechless; normally, when someone had a question, they wouldn’t think to ask Zeng You, who was always on his phone.

Never seen him do homework.

"Sigh!!"

"Stop sighing, think about tomorrow." Lin Dong lay on the bed, "After the college entrance exam, where are you going?"

A roommate said, "I’ll go home, then find a summer job in Guangdong, work two months to buy a computer and phone."

Zeng You asked, "Then what?"

"School starts." The roommate replied a bit dumbfounded, "Then it’s military training and starting university life."

As they talked, the night grew late.

....

The next day.

Jiang Nian opened his eyes and saw it was seven o’clock. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glad he didn’t wake up at five thirty.

Getting up and opening the door, his parents were already awake.

"You’re up?" Old Jiang was about to go out, "There’s breakfast on the table, Qianqian and the rest have already eaten."

"I’ll go move the car now, so we don’t get blocked in the alley later."

Jiang Nian was a bit confused, muttered an okay. Entered the bathroom and found that the toothpaste was already on the brush, the towel was warm.

Wow, Emperor Experience Day.

x2.

Ever since he was born, he never enjoyed such treatment. Didn’t expect with the college entrance exam, clear skies arrived.

He quickly freshened up, grabbed his things, and headed to school.

"Did you take everything?" Li Hongmei chased to the door, "Did you bring an umbrella? It started raining in the morning."

"Took it, took it."

With his exam bag in hand, Jiang Nian rushed downstairs. At eighteen, he was reckless, running breathlessly in the damp wind.
