Qi Xiaoyan expressed her gratitude for Sweetie's thoughtfulness.

"Come on, let's talk about what life will be like in the military after you get accepted into the cultural troupe," He Tiantian said, without mentioning tomorrow's exam.

Qi Xiaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Then I can become a glorious soldier and have a nice military uniform to wear. My parents will also be proud of it."

He Tiantian was surprised; Qi Xiaoyan's wish contained such a simple and honest idea!

“Good, continue…” He Tiantian said with a smile.

The two chatted until after nine o'clock. Qi Xiaoyan was completely relaxed. After yawning, she said, "I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep."

"Goodnight!" He Tiantian said with a smile, wishing Qi Xiaoyan good luck on her exam tomorrow.

The next morning, Niu Dajun bought breakfast. After Qi Xiaoyan ate breakfast, she received her exam number according to her registration form and went in to get her assigned seat.

He Tiantian and Niu Dajun were waiting outside.

This is basic music theory, one and a half hours.

Following He Tiantian's instructions, Qi Xiaoyan first scanned the book and, seeing that it contained only the knowledge points from the textbook, felt slightly relieved. She then wrote her name and exam number and began answering the questions.

The test paper was structured from easy to difficult. Qi Xiaoyan did very well on the first few questions, but when she encountered a few that she wasn't sure about, she left them blank, focusing on the ones she was confident about first, and then came back to work on them later. Qi Xiaoyan finished the later, more difficult questions and then went back to the earlier ones.

After much deliberation and reflection, I wrote down the answer.

Qi Xiaoyan set the timer and began to carefully check her answers from beginning to end. An hour had already passed, and there was still half an hour left. Qi Xiaoyan was a good girl and dared not hand in her paper, so she checked her answers one more time.

Niu Dajun paced back and forth in place, rubbing his hands anxiously.

"Brother Dajun, just stop." He Tiantian said, rubbing her eyes. He had been restless ever since the exam started, even more anxious than Qi Xiaoyan.

Niu Dajun felt embarrassed and gave an awkward laugh, saying, "I'm sorry you had to see this. I was a little anxious!"

"What's the use of your anxiety! Can you take the exam for Xiaoyan?" He Tiantian asked. "Just stand there quietly. You have to believe in Xiaoyan. She's so hardworking and smart, she'll definitely pass."

Niu Dajun smiled and said, "You're right. Xiao Yan is so smart and hardworking, she'll definitely pass the exam."

"Hehe, if it were that easy, anyone could pass the exam," said the middle-aged woman from yesterday. Although she wasn't speaking to them, He Tiantian and Niu Dajun understood that she was referring to them.

He Tiantian glanced at the woman twice, pretending not to see her, and said, "Hehe, yes, this is based on real skill!"

Niu Dajun didn't want to talk to that woman; it would ruin his mood.

An hour finally passed, and Qi Xiaoyan, whose seat was at the front, came out first.

He Tiantian stepped forward and, without asking about her grades, said directly, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

Niu Dajun wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to.

But then I heard Xiaoxue behind me say in a spoiled tone, "It's really difficult. I'm not sure about many of the questions."

Then the woman offered words of encouragement and guidance…

As Qi Xiaoyan walked, she turned her head and asked, "Why don't you ask me how my exam went?"

"Haha, the fact that you brought it up proves you did well on the test!" He Tiantian laughed. "Right?"

Qi Xiaoyan said excitedly, "Yes, I know how to do most of the questions, but there are a few I'm not sure about. But I've thought about them for a long time and I'm about 70 or 80 percent sure."

"That's good. Now that you've passed the exam, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Go back and eat well and get some rest," He Tiantian said. "By the way, will the results come out tonight or tomorrow?"

"The results will be released at 5 p.m.," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Those on the honor roll will participate in tomorrow's re-examination. Those not on the honor roll will not be eligible to participate in tomorrow's re-examination."

Niu Dajun finally calmed down and said, "After we eat and take a nap, we'll go see the honor roll together this afternoon."

The three of them agreed and returned to the guesthouse together.

I took a nap, and it was already past four in the afternoon.

Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian, after washing up, went with Niu Dajun to see the list of successful candidates, feeling very nervous and excited.

When we arrived at the place to view the results, it was already packed with people.

Niu Dajun kept glancing at his watch and said, "It's already 4:50, ten minutes left!"

Yang Xiaoxue came with her mother and saw He Tiantian and her group. She looked up at them with her head held high and walked past them arrogantly.

Qi Xiaoyan was puzzled and said, "Sister Tian, ​​I'm just wondering, we haven't offended this mother and daughter, so why do they treat us like this every time they see us? Is it because we're from a county town and not from Huai City?"

He Tiantian was also puzzled and thought about it carefully.

Niu Dajun chuckled and said, "Hehe, actually it's not just for that reason. It's also because you two are prettier than that girl named Xiaoxue. I'm jealous of you, so naturally I don't like the look of you."

Niu Dajun's words made Qi Xiaoyan blush, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's the truth. You can ask Tian Tian if you don't believe me," Niu Dajun said confidently. That girl named Xiao Xue was pretty, but compared to He Tian Tian and Qi Xiao Yan, she was far inferior.

She doesn't have the graceful figure of He Tiantian, nor the height of Qi Xiaoyan, and her face can only be described as pretty, far inferior to both He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan.

He Tiantian suddenly realized how she hadn't thought of such a simple principle!

Finally, at five o'clock, two staff members came and posted a red notice on the wall.

Yang Xiaoxue and her mother squeezed in, excitedly saying, "Xiaoxue, you passed the exam! You passed! You passed the... well, you passed!"

Qi Xiaoyan was a little anxious and didn't pay attention to the meaning behind the middle-aged woman's words.

He Tiantian realized that Xiaoxue's name was definitely not near the top of the list, otherwise the mother would have already said it out loud.

Niu Dajun squeezed in to take a look, but there were many people in front, and most of them were women. He could only wait until others had finished looking before he could squeeze in.

Niu Dajun was tall, and even though he couldn't squeeze in, he could still see the top few names on the red list by standing on tiptoe. He exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Yan, you passed! You passed!"

He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan quickly came over.

He Tiantian looked closely and said happily, "Xiao Yan, you're amazing! You actually got first place!"

Qi Xiaoyan's face was flushed and her breathing was rapid; she had come in first place.

Just then, Yang Xiaoxue and her mother passed by He Tiantian. Upon hearing this, their happy expressions vanished, and as they left, they glared at Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian alike.

Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian looked at each other, feeling that this hatred was unjust!

However, that's not important anymore. What's important is that Qi Xiaoyan passed the written exam and only needs to take the re-examination tomorrow.

As long as Qi Xiaoyan performs normally, she'll definitely be fine for tomorrow's exam. (To be continued.)
