My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2077: Gentleness
At this moment, saying she wasn’t grateful would be a lie. She had completely given up hope, yet thanks to his helping hand, she regained it. She could hardly believe it; in such a desperate situation, there was still a turnaround.
Thinking about the past, she’s inevitably embarrassed by such a situation, finding it hard to thank him frankly.
"Miss Jun, this way." Since no one else was allowed to enter the exam hall, the examiner came over and pushed Yiyi’s wheelchair.
In an instant, she was wheeled away from everyone’s side.
Yiyi was in a state of emotional turmoil. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Ling Kong. He stood there quietly, constantly watching her. He didn’t expect her to turn suddenly, causing their gazes to meet unexpectedly. Both were shocked, afraid their eyes revealed their inner thoughts, and instinctively looked away.
"Thank you," Yiyi hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.
Ling Kong was taken aback for a moment, then showed an encouraging smile.
"Hmm... do your best!"
Yiyi was struck with astonishment, not expecting he’d say ’do your best’ to her and smile so gently. Her heart couldn’t help but flutter.
She awkwardly turned her head back and was soon wheeled into the exam hall by the examiner.
...
The exam was over quickly. Yiyi tiredly came out of the exam hall, greeted by Madam Aisha’s concerned inquiries and gentle comfort, along with a doctor anxiously checking her body and asking about her feelings.
Aside from being tired and sleepy, she felt no other discomfort. Within such a short time, her mind raced, tackling every question with seconds to spare. That kind of tension and heightened emotions naturally left her exceptionally exhausted and drowsy once relaxed.
However, this didn’t mean that she did poorly on the exam.
Even though she lost almost half of the time, she still completed all the questions. You could say she was lucky; many of the types of questions on the exam she had seen in Professor Du Le’s books, and encountering those familiar questions during the exam shocked her.
If it weren’t known that Professor Du Le was missing, she’d suspect he was the one who set the exam questions.
In any case, this was a huge stroke of luck. If it had been different questions, she might not have had enough time to finish them. These questions shortened her thinking time and were also ones that carried significant weight.
At least when she left the exam hall, she had some confidence that she had a chance of getting into Imperial College.
"Since it’s over, don’t dwell on it. You’ve done your best," Madam Aisha, seeing her so silent, thought she did poorly and was dejected. "We should hurry back and rest!"
Yiyi glanced around at everyone and didn’t spot Ling Kong, feeling a subtle sense of disappointment.
But she also knew that his bringing her here despite the grudge was already more than generous.
She still couldn’t understand why he did such a thing; he clearly disliked her now and had drawn the line. If he only feared other people accusing the Councilman Party of being unfair to her, he didn’t need to go this far.
It was her own fault she missed the exam time, and they weren’t to blame.
Besides... his words of encouragement.
Yiyi closed her eyes wearily and soon fell into a deep sleep in the wheelchair, being taken back to the hospital.

A man’s deliberately lowered voice outside the ward.
"How is she?"
"She’s been checked; there’s nothing major, just some residual effects of the drugs in her body, and combined with the fatigue from the exam, she’s sleeping deeply now."
"...Carefully check every item sent into her room; no one must be given another chance."
