Senior year of high school is a never-ending series of exams and diagnostic tests. At the end of the first semester of senior year, Lin Ruanruan was consistently ranked behind Wang Zihao, and Wang Zihao was consistently ranked fourth.
Fortunately, the family tragedy did not have a significant impact on Wang Zihao. He was only depressed for a few days at first, but then he cheered up.
Lin Ruanruan nestled her hands inside the hand warmer pillow. She was really afraid of the cold, so she was even less willing to go out in winter.
However, during her senior year winter break, she had to go out. The outside was bitterly cold, with the wind howling and making her nose sting.
Winters in the southern province are snowless, yet bitterly cold, feeling like a magical attack that specifically targets and freezes one's joints.
Fortunately, their homeroom teacher doesn't care if the girls bring these hand warmer pillows, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to survive at school; even turning on the air conditioner wouldn't save her.
Lin Ruanruan rubbed against the doll in her arms, "I really thank Brother Huo for giving me this life-saving doll."
The classroom was filled with the rustling sound of turning pages, which was quite drowsy. Lin Ruanruan yawned; if she were at home, she would have been snuggled up in bed to keep warm.
She flipped through the book in her hands, feeling as if the words on it were spinning around in her head. "Am I having a relapse?" she wondered.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng helplessly lifted Lin Ruan Ruan's chin, which was about to hit the table, and said, "You're not having a relapse, you're just sleepy."
"Go take a nap, you look so sleepy."
Lin Ruanruan took out a blanket and covered her back. She looked at Xuan Yuanhaocheng seriously and said, "Big brother, I swear, I'll just sleep for a little while."
After saying that, she put her hands inside the doll's body, lay down on the table, and fell asleep.
Xuan Yuanhao shook his head helplessly. He really suspected that Lin Ruanruan was the reincarnation of some hibernating animal, as she was sleepy as soon as winter came and seemed to never get enough sleep.
Lin Ruanruan spent the entire winter studying and reviewing while feeling sleepy. She only started to recover as spring approached. Huo Xian also put on the sweater that Lin Ruanruan had knitted for her last year, which was perfect for wearing alone in the spring.
Every time she puts on this sweater, her brother's expression always seems off, and he'll occasionally make sarcastic remarks.
Lin Ruanruan was completely unaware of this; she eagerly awaited June, knowing that once June was over, she would be free.
Lin Ruanruan and her friends kept to themselves in class every day, but legends about them continued to circulate in the gossip group. Yuan Yuanyuan still secretly took photos of them and posted them to the gossip group every day.
After her routine post today, she felt a little melancholy. "Sigh, after the college entrance exam, I'll be going abroad to study, and I won't be able to film Ruan Ruan and the others every day anymore."
Hearing this, Wang Zihao, who was next to her, looked up and said, "But you have Ruan Ruan and the others' contact information. It's not like we're never going to see each other again."
Yuan Yuanyuan pouted, "That's different."
Wang Zihao shrugged and buried himself in his homework again. He didn't understand Yuan Yuanyuan's worries.
The numbers on the blackboard at the back of the classroom grew smaller and smaller, and the entire senior year was filled with a tense atmosphere. Even the usually mischievous delinquents were unusually well-behaved, and some even started picking up books.
Every month there's a diagnostic test, and all the senior high school students are on edge.
Although Lin Ruanruan wanted to take a more relaxed approach, she had two formidable figures, Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Haocheng, constantly urging her on.
Her clothes were starting to thin out, and the greenery of early summer filled the streets and alleys. Lin Ruanruan sat obediently on a recliner in Xuanyuan Haocheng's villa, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Today is Saturday, and she has half a day off.
"There are only ten days left until the college entrance exam," Lin Ruanruan squinted her eyes, "It's almost over."
She turned to look at Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, who were reading foreign language books, and said, "I heard that we are going to take a unified exam at the No. 1 High School this time, and they made us take a special bus so as not to block traffic."
"I even bought all-solid-colored clothes and pants specifically for the exam. Xianxian, would you like me to pick out a few outfits for you to wear to the college entrance exam?"
Lin Ruanruan beamed with joy, "We'll wear matching outfits then."
Huo Xian blinked and exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, then said, "Wearing matching outfits with my best friend is fine, but I don't have to take the college entrance exam~"
Lin Ruanruan's smile froze on her face. "Huh?"
She paused for a moment, then looked at Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng with a puzzled expression, "Why?"
Xuan Yuanhao raised an eyebrow. "We were both admitted to the National University of Defense Technology through the recommendation program."
Lin Ruanruan's mouth dropped open. "Huh?! How come I didn't know!"
"Uh... I thought you knew." Huo Xian felt a little guilty for some reason.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng shrugged. "You didn't ask."
Lin Ruanruan jumped up and ran to the two of them, "Tell me, when did this happen?"
Do you remember when we went to participate in the physics competition?
"Remember."
"It was that time," Xuan Yuanhao said succinctly.
Lin Ruanruan stared blankly for a long time before taking out her phone, finding the five-person study group chat, and sending a voice message: "Family, my older brother and Xianxian don't need to take the college entrance exam; they've been admitted to the National University of Defense Technology without taking the exam!"
Fang Lan was the first to exclaim, followed by a voice message: "What? What did you say? They were both recommended for admission to the National University of Defense Technology?"
Wang Zihao was even more direct. He ran straight from his own home to the living room of Xuan Yuanhaocheng's villa, panting, "You, you got recommended?"
Lin Ruanruan handed him a bottle of water to help him calm down.
Wang Zihao finally calmed down after sitting on the sofa. "Wait, you guys who got in through the guaranteed admission program are still working this hard?"
Huo Xian smiled and said, "I enjoy the process of studying hard and testing my learning results."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng sat down next to Huo Xian and nodded, "Me too."
