Chapter 1208: Chapter 814: Torrential Rain Boosts Morale (Part 2)

After roll call, he looked around the class.

"Okay, everyone’s here. Now check your exam supplies, tissues, and water. Remember to bring transparent ones."

Once everything was confirmed, Old Liu pointed to the front door.

"Everyone, leave through the front door, ah, this one has a rice dumpling ornament hanging. Let’s touch it for luck, it symbolizes success in high school!"

We played with this a few days ago in class. But back then it was just for laughs. Today, everyone was sincere.

So, we lined up.

"It has to work!!"

"Wishing myself to perform exceptionally and win first place!"

"We will definitely win!"

"A bright future ahead...."

When Jiang Nian passed by, he silently wished for safety. In others’ eyes, he seemed calm and collected.

"Chi Shi, putting on airs like this?"

"Damn, that’s the confidence of a top student."

He didn’t explain; others wouldn’t understand. He didn’t want to ruin everyone’s mood on their way to the exam with a sour face.

"It’s alright, keep it up."

We gathered downstairs and then got on the bus one by one. Naturally, Li Hua sat with Jiang Nian. As soon as he boarded, he accelerated toward the window seat.

"Woohoo!! Window seat!"

Jiang Nian was speechless and sat next to him. He wanted to see where Chen Yunyun was, but someone sat down on the aisle side.

"Hi," Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips, greeting the two of them, "Do you get car sick?"

Jiang Nian: "..."

He doesn’t get car sick, but he does get dizzy from milk.

"No, I don’t," Li Hua was in a good mood, waved hello, "Why are you holding an English vocabulary book?"

"Isn’t the Chinese test this morning?"

"Oh," Yu Zhiyi realized belatedly and casually responded, "I’ve memorized Chinese. I’m just reinforcing my English."

Li Hua nodded, "I see."

Little Bailin came over and glanced at the aisle seat. Seeing Yu Zhiyi had taken it, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Do you want to sit by the window, enjoy the scenery?"

"No... no need." Yu Zhiyi shook her head and declined, "If I sit too much to the side, I get slightly car sick."

Dong Que: "...."

"Alright then."

More people got on, either reading books or noisily chatting, which eased the tension before the college entrance exam.

The head car slowly started and, led by the motorcycle escort, left the main campus.

On the road, Li Hua leaned against the car window, watching the crowd sending them off and the traffic waiting by the roadside.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of excitement mixed with an inexplicable melancholy, as if something was ending.

"Nian, there are so many people by the roadside!"

"I saw," Jiang Nian looked down at his phone, receiving a message from the low-score kid, asking if he had left yet.

He was confused, replied, "Aren’t you at the school gate? The bus just left the school."

"Of course I’m not there!" Lin Yuxi sent a cute emoji, "You’re not taking the test on the main campus."

Seeing this, Jiang Nian suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You better not do anything crazy."

Lin Yuxi: "(Unhappy) I won’t do anything crazy, I’m just at the branch campus gate cheering you on."

Jiang Nian: "Oh, that’s fine then."

Lin Yuxi: "Senior, why are you like this!!"

"Busy with exams, thanks," Jiang Nian replied a couple of sentences, swiped away, and closed his eyes to rest.

The ride was smooth, and as they entered the branch campus.

The phone vibrated. Instinctively, he looked out the window. Sure enough, he saw Lin Yuxi waving at him.

Jiang Nian was slightly moved and then messaged her to remind her to go back.

"You didn’t bring an umbrella. It’s going to rain heavily later."

Lin Yuxi: "Senior, don’t worry about me. I’ll find a place to shelter from the rain, waiting for you to come out."

Jiang Nian: "I’m going back to the school right after the exam."

Lin Yuxi: "....."

"Okay then."

Jiang Nian: "We’ll talk after the exam, anyway, thanks."

Lin Yuxi: "(Fireworks)(Fireworks)(Fireworks) Got it, good luck with the college entrance exam, senior!"

High standard, three fireworks?

Jiang Nian: "(Korean gesture)."

Parking and gathering, fifty minutes until the exam started, Old Liu began calling names to distribute the exam passes.

The gathering places for each class were different.

Jiang Nian got his ID and exam pass, looked back at his classmates, then everyone headed to their respective exam rooms.

Visited the restroom early, placed his bag.

After waiting a while, started passing the security scan. After passing, holding the water with the label peeled off, he sat in the exam room.

The weather was gloomy, the windows half-open.

The desk was smooth and cold, with an exam pass printed with his information on the top right corner, and the sound of the broadcast in his ears.

Jiang Nian’s heart began beating unconsciously, palms sweating slightly, slowly adjusting his breathing.

Soon, he calmed down.

"Examinees, there are five minutes until the exam starts. This is a completely sealed exam envelope."

The invigilator demonstrated and then tore off the stamped seal, starting to distribute the papers in an orderly manner.

The exam room buzzed instantly, causing a small stir.

"Damn."

"Phew."

Jiang Nian listened to the low murmurs around and couldn’t help but smile. As the exam hadn’t started yet, he glanced around the room.

No acquaintances in the exam room, the person at the next desk was trembling.

Funny.

The papers just distributed could only be viewed, not written on. But he could fill in personal information and paste the QR code.

Having done everything, the exam bell rang.

Jiang Nian did not immediately start answering but took a deep breath instead. In his heart, ten years of study were at stake.

The paper was thick, with a warm touch.

Limited edition.

The time ticked by quickly, reaching eleven o’clock. Only half an hour left until the exam ended.

Jiang Nian had written more than half of his essay, was startled by the sound of rain outside, turned to look, and saw it was raining.

He was momentarily stunned and then continued writing the exam paper.

Fluently, over eight hundred words.

After writing the last word, he briefly checked it. Surprisingly, ten minutes were still left until the exam ended.

Hmm...

Compared to normal exams, the difficulty was about the same, but it was more flexible. The paper hid several textual traps.

Overall, the Chinese exam paper was smooth.

Jiang Nian checked again, verifying personal information. Comparing the answer sheet, to make sure nothing was missed or filled incorrectly.

Until the end-of-exam bell rang.

"Ring ring ring!!"

The urgent bell rang, accompanied by the invigilator’s guidance. Jiang Nian and the exam room participants left the classroom together.

Nothing was allowed to be taken, leaving alone to wait.

Jiang Nian stood in the hallway, watching the rain pouring harder, silently reviewing the exam process in his mind.

Then he exhaled a breath.

The first exam was over!

In a way, it could be considered a good start. Next, he just needed to seriously prepare for the math exam.

Packing up his supplies, gathering again.

Old Liu collected the exam passes, looking at the excited students, couldn’t help but smile.

"Ah, everyone shouldn’t discuss or compare answers. The Chinese exam is over!"

"Don’t ask me either, go back and rest well!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more excited, shouting and creating an uproar, "Teacher, I want to ride in your car."

"Yeah, teacher, I want to eat at your house."

Amidst the noisy clamor, Jiang Nian turned to see Li Qingrong approaching, preparing to greet her.

"Qing..."

"How did it go?" She asked.

"Mm," Jiang Nian nodded, smiled, "Just like usual, the feel was pretty good too."

Li Qingrong also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, muttering softly.

"That’s good."

"It’s raining, not convenient to talk," Jiang Nian said, "Qingqing, let’s go back and rest while we can."

"After all, we have to be back by two in the afternoon."

Li Qingrong also found it reasonable, so she didn’t delay further, nodded, "Then I’m heading back first."

As for the downside of the school bus, it showed at this time.

Having to wait for people.

Those with parents picking them up, mostly all went home separately.

Zhang Ningzhi only had time to say a quick word, then dragged Yao Beibei along, rushing outside the school.

Buzz, the phone vibrated lightly.

Jiang Nian glanced at it, Old Jiang had picked up Xu Qianqian and the two girls. He felt slightly more at ease, turned to find Chen Yunyun and the others.

"Let’s go, let’s go, Qingbao’s over there."

Chen Yunyun quickly pulled the somewhat bewildered Wang Yuhe. Following behind Jiang Nian, holding an umbrella, they walked out of the school.
