In early June, the weather gradually became hot, and the annual National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) was approaching.

"Damn, I can't believe the college entrance exam is tomorrow." Ji Sinian scratched his head, a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes.

"Sister Miao, what should I do if I don't get into Tsinghua University?"

Shi Miao's beautiful eyes were filled with drowsiness. She casually picked up a cold drink from the table, took a sip, and said lazily, "Didn't your score in the last joint entrance exam meet Tsinghua University's admission requirements?"

Ji Sinian pursed his lips, "Last time I performed exceptionally well, I don't know if I can perform well in the college entrance examination."

Shi Miao, biting her straw, lazily raised her half-closed eyes to look at him, and said casually, "I believe you can."

A warm light appeared in Ji Sinian's eyes, and he immediately relaxed, smiling as he said, "Sister Miao, thank you for your kind words."

"Hmm." Shi Miao slowly withdrew her gaze, put down the cold drink in her hand, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and picked up her phone from the table.

As soon as I entered the game, my phone rang with a "ding," and a WeChat message popped up on the screen at the same time.

Shi Miao lowered her eyes, her fair fingers swiped across the phone screen, and then switched to the WeChat interface.

Qin Xiao: [Shi Xiaomiao, good luck on the college entrance exam tomorrow! And try to get a perfect score so I can see it for myself.]

Shi Miao: [Hmm.]

Qin Xiao: [I'm going to Independence Continent the day after tomorrow, I don't know if I'll be able to see Yolo.]

Shi Miao: [No.]

Qin Xiao: [No, how can you be so sure?]

Shi Miao: [Because I am Yolo.]

Qin Xiao: [Get lost, you trying to mess with me again? I don't believe you for a second. #cursing#]

Shi Miao: [Tsk, really.]

Qin Xiao: [Alright, focus on the exam. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back.]

......

After replying to Qin Xiao's message, Shi Miao was about to switch to the game interface when Xie Sizhou sent her a message.

Xie Sizhou: [Sister-in-law, good luck on the college entrance exam tomorrow!]

Shi Miao: [Okay.]

Xie Sizhou: [After the exam, let's go back to Beijing with Chen Ge! You guys always leave in such a rush, this time we have to stay for ten days to half a month before we can leave. I'll show you guys some fun!]

Shi Miao: [We'll see when the time comes.]

Xie Sizhou: [Okay.]

Just as she finished replying, her phone rang again with a "ding," and Han Yan sent her a blessing message for her college entrance exam.

Even William, who hadn't been active for a long time, joined in the fun.

Shi Miao's brow twitched. She took a lollipop out of her bag, unwrapped it with one hand, and popped it into her mouth, typing a reply at a leisurely pace.

......

Nighttime, Lanting Apartment.

Gu Wanqing stayed at Lanting tonight because she needed to make breakfast for Shi Miao tomorrow.

She walked over with a glass of milk, looked at the girl who was curled up on the sofa playing on her phone, and said softly, "Miaomiao, it's almost ten o'clock, why aren't you going to sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao looked up, her eyes clear and bright, and slowly said, "Mom, you go and rest first. I'll wait a little longer."

Gu Wanqing patted her shoulder and said with a doting look, "Okay, remember to drink your milk."

"By the way, where is Yan Chen?"

Shi Miao lowered her eyelashes slightly, her porcelain-white face delicate and beautiful, and said lazily, "I went to the other side."

Gu Wanqing nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room first."

"Okay, goodnight."

Just as Gu Wanqing returned to her room, Shi Miao's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised in surprise, before pressing the answer button.

"The exchange meeting has been moved up this year," Yun Yi's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.

A slight look of surprise flashed in Shi Miao's eyes. "When?"

"At the end of this month."

"Okay, I understand."

"By the way, isn't your college entrance exam tomorrow?"

Shi Miao lazily stretched out her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, and casually said, "When did you start caring about this?"

"Isn't it because I'm hoping you'll come back soon and take over my position?"

Shi Miao clicked her tongue. "I haven't agreed yet."

"Hey, I don't care if you agree or not."

Yun Yi coughed lightly on the other end of the phone and said in a low voice, "By the way, do you have the money? There's a new research project coming up, and it's pretty expensive..."

Shi Miao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "How much do you want?"

After a few seconds of silence, Yun Yi said, "Two hundred million."

“I remember I just transferred 100 million to you last month.”

"Oh, little Miaomiao, this medical organization will all be yours in the future. Your investment now is for a greater return in the future..."

Shi Miao's head ached from his nagging. "Alright, I'll transfer it to you later."

"Okay, okay," Yun Yi replied with a smile.

......

Ji Yanchen had just returned from across the street when he saw Shi Miao curled up on the sofa, staring blankly at her phone.

He walked leisurely to the girl's side and sat down, his eyes brimming with a smile, his tone languid and soothing: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Shi Miao snapped out of her daze, propped her arm on her bent leg, and lazily rested her chin on her long, pale hand, saying dejectedly, "I suddenly feel like I'm pretty poor."

Ji Yanchen suddenly ruffled her hair with his large hand and said in a magnetic, low voice, "I have money."

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised her clear, cool eyes to look at him, raised an eyebrow, and lazily asked, "So?"

Ji Yanchen held her hand, gently kneading her fingertips, his deep, charming voice trailing off, "So what's mine is yours."

Shi Miao touched her burning ears, her dark eyelashes lowered, her swan-like neck slender and long, and responded softly, "Mmm."

Upon seeing this, Ji Yanchen couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

Long, slender fingers slowly covered Shi Miao's casually placed hand, gradually intertwining their fingers.

The next second, he lowered his head slightly and placed a very light kiss on Shi Miao's neck.

Then, it slowly moved upwards and landed on her lips.

......

The following day, the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) was held.

Gu Wanqing got up early and started making breakfast.

Ji Yanchen got up quite early and was helping to bring the prepared breakfast to the table.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door.

Ji Yanchen put down the plate in his hand and went to open the door.

"Good morning, Uncle. Aunt Gu asked me to come over for breakfast today." Ji Sinian walked in carrying his schoolbag.

Ji Yanchen nodded: "Mm."

"Me too, me too," Ye Chuan said with a grin.

Ji Sinian walked into the living room, put his schoolbag on the sofa, looked around, and asked, "Hey, where's Sister Miao?"

Gu Wanqing walked over from the kitchen carrying two glasses of milk, and said with a smile, "Miaomiao hasn't gotten up yet."

Ji Sinian: "Auntie, good morning, let me help you."

Gu Wanqing placed the milk on the table. "No need, it's already ready. Please sit down and eat first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Miao came out of the bedroom carrying her schoolbag.
