With the important matter of going to school settled, Ye Qingqing was finally able to relax and focus on her studies, preparing for the college entrance examination four days later.

She was confident that as long as she performed well, Pingjiang Medical University would be no problem. As for Tang Yuanyuan, she also planned to apply to Pingjiang Medical University, but she estimated that her grades would not be good enough for an undergraduate program, so she planned to apply for a junior college.

Pingjiang Medical University has a branch college, which mainly offers nursing programs, as well as a newly opened nutrition program. Tang Yuanyuan plans to apply for nutrition, and with her current grades, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Pingjiang in July is like an oven. The streets are filled with the insane chirping of cicadas. You can sweat even if you stand still. But the weather is quite cooperative. On the 5th, there was a heavy rain. The following days were filled with light rain, and the temperature dropped suddenly, making it very cool.

"Students, tomorrow is the college entrance examination. I won't waste any more words. I hope you can stay calm and treat it like any other monthly exam. Don't let nervousness affect your performance. Think about it, even God is being so kind to you, which means it's a good omen. I believe you will all achieve excellent results..."

The day before the college entrance examination, Teacher Du encouraged the students on the podium with great enthusiasm, which made the whole class feel excited and full of confidence.

Teacher Du also told them not to study at night, but to eat dinner and go to sleep to maintain their energy for the college entrance examination.

The 7th finally arrived. Mr. Tang got up early in the morning and made his own breakfast, "Top Scholar's Success Breakfast," which was actually dough shaped like a jade ruyi (a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good fortune). In ancient times, the top scholar in the imperial examination would be rewarded with a jade ruyi by the emperor.

"Eating this will definitely help you get into university, so eat up!" Mr. Tang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang."

Ye Qingqing finished her breakfast in a few bites. Tang's father was quite skilled; the jade ruyi was sweet and glutinous, melting in her mouth—it was delicious.

After enjoying the grand feast for those who passed the imperial examinations, she and Tang Yuanyuan, personally escorted by Lu Mo, headed to the examination venue in a grand procession. She and Tang Yuanyuan were lucky enough to be assigned to take the exam at their own school, while some classmates were not so fortunate and had to go to other schools.

"Go inside quickly!"

Lu Mo checked their admission tickets and study tools to make sure everything was in order before letting them into the school.

"Brother, don't wait outside. Yuanyuan and I will go back by ourselves after the exam."

"I'll pick you up after the exam. Go inside, do the questions you know first, and leave the difficult ones for later," Lu Mo instructed, showing concern like an old father.

"I know...you've said it hundreds of times!"

Ye Qingqing waved her hand, grabbed Tang Yuanyuan and ran away, showing no signs of pre-exam tension or anxiety, as if she were just having fun.

Actually, Pipi had specifically told her before that if she wanted to cheat, it could help her because it had enough space—enough to hold all her books from three years of high school!

But Ye Qingqing refused. She wanted to rely on her own abilities to get into university. Using the space would be unfair to the other students. Even if she got into Tsinghua or Peking University, she wouldn't feel honored!

The weather was incredibly kind; it rained lightly for three days straight until the college entrance exams ended on the 9th, when the sun suddenly burst out and the temperature immediately rose.

"Rest well after the exam, don't overthink it. Come to school in three days to fill out your college application," Teacher Du reassured the students.

Some students didn't perform well, and after looking at the standard answers, their estimated scores were much lower than expected. They immediately looked dejected, as if the world had ended.

Ye Qingqing and Tang Yuanyuan also estimated the score and felt it was within their expectations, so they felt relieved.

Three days later, she and Tang Yuanyuan filled out their college applications. The important task was completed, and they were just waiting for the results to be released in late July.

Xiao Tong's school also started its holiday today. Angel School started its holiday almost half a month later than other schools, and also started school later. Ye Qingqing felt relaxed after taking the exam and decided to go to the school to pick up Xiao Tong and the others, but she received a call from the school teacher instead.

"Ms. Ye, your younger brother and sister ran out of school this morning. Have they gone home?"

The teacher sounded very anxious. The holiday was just around the corner, but then the child went missing. If Gao Fei found out, she would lose her job.
