"Jiaojiao, tomorrow is the most important moment for you and An'an. I'm not worried about An'an at all. You should do your best on the exam. If you want to get into your dream university, you have to give it your all tomorrow," Chu Qian said, looking at his granddaughter who had just returned home and was lounging casually in her chair.

"You brat, if you dare to sleep in the exam hall tomorrow, I'll give you a good beating when we get home!" Liu Nuoling was furious at her daughter's behavior. Ever since An'an recovered, Jiao Jiao's true nature had become more and more apparent. Fortunately, she had been raised with strict discipline and never let her down in important matters, so she hadn't been suppressed too much.

Chu Xingyue and Su Jin snuggled together, smiling as Grandpa and Aunt gave Chu Jiaojiao some instructions.

Before bedtime, Chu Qian gave each of his two granddaughters a large red envelope. Su Jin urged them to hurry up and take it. Chu Jiaojiao happily accepted it, raising her eyebrows to Chu Xingyue, hoping for praise, and said, "An'an, take this quickly, it's a lucky start from Grandpa!"

"Perhaps, making the most of time is the best effort, and effort is the best version of yourself," wrote her grandfather in strong handwriting in the envelope containing five thousand yuan. Chu Jiaojiao happily put the money into her drawer and drifted off to sleep in a cheerful mood.

"Life is never-ending, but so is survival. First they will ignore you, then they will laugh at you, then they will beat you, and finally they will lose to you. When adversity comes to me, it is the best time for my life force to be in the most combat-ready state. I go forward alone, but it is as if I am leading a ten thousand soldiers." Chu Xingyue opened the red envelope given to her by her grandfather and saw the message he wrote for her. Her heart was overflowing with emotion.

Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao's exam venue was Wuxian High School, so they didn't need to rent a hotel near the school a day in advance like the children from other more distant villages. Su Jin and Liu Nuoling got up early and quietly prepared food for the family, especially for the two high school seniors, who needed to eat well today. The three elders of the family were all dressed in red. Just as Liu Nuoling was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside. "An'an, you're up. Wash up and have breakfast. Grandma prepared all your favorite dishes. I came to see if Jiaojiao is up yet." After saying that, she went to Chu Jiaojiao's room to call her.

On the table, each person had a small bowl of red soup noodles, with eggs and fried dough sticks added, neatly arranged. There was also radish stir-fried by the family's aunt. The pickled radish was soaked in water, chopped, stir-fried in oil with a little soy sauce, a swirl of water around the edge of the pan, a sprinkle of minced garlic, and then stir-fried briefly before serving. There were also small vegetable and egg buns made by Grandma, looking incredibly appetizing. Chu Jiaojiao, still sleepy, walked into the kitchen, her eyes lighting up at the sight of food. "I'm starving! I'm starving!" she exclaimed, leaning over the table, ready to devour the food. Chu Xingyue raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, "Eating too fast will cause intestinal cramps." Chu Jiaojiao paused, took a small sip of soup, and began to eat slowly. The three elders of the family... Everyone watched the two children get along with smiles. Over the years, Jiao Jiao had always unconditionally obeyed An An. When she was little, she was protective of her, and as she grew up, she admired her. In elementary and middle school, Chu Xingyue showed extraordinary learning ability. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as having a photographic memory. From the moment she started school, she was always first in the entire grade, leaving the second place by dozens of points. She was a legend in the school, a figure that everyone could only look up to. Not to mention her martial arts skills, Chu Xingyue had restored her body to the level of her previous life through continuous training over the years.

Before setting off, Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao checked their exam supplies, ID cards, and admission tickets one last time to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything. The family then walked slowly and leisurely toward the school.
