Chapter 129 College Entrance Examination
This scorching summer brings not only dazzling sunshine and the chirping of cicadas in the shade of trees, but also countless students with dreams, who step into their dream universities through the highly anticipated college entrance examination.
On the last night before the college entrance examination, almost all candidates and their parents were filled with anxiety, not daring to relax for even a moment before the exam.
The mother felt the same way. Both of her sons were too outstanding in the past, and their futures were planned out early, with both being admitted to university ahead of schedule.
Dan Shu also entered a 985 university in Nan'an City through a competition in his second year of high school.
She has never experienced the tension and pressure of being a parent of a student taking the college entrance exam.
Seeing that his wife had changed into countless cheongsams in front of the full-length mirror, Mr. Dan helplessly folded up the newspaper in his hand, sighed, and said, "It's their exam, why are you dressed so formally?"
As the former chairman of the Dan Group, he was used to the ups and downs of the business world, and the college entrance examination was a large-scale event that did not stir up any waves in his heart.
Over the past two years, he has observed that as long as Dan Si and Zhao Zhao maintain their composure, their college entrance examination results may not be surprising, but they certainly will not underperform.
Dan's mother glanced at Dan's father, pursed her lips, and said, "What do you know? There are rules about what parents wear on the day of the college entrance examination."
As she spoke, Dan's mother showed Dan's father the several colorful cheongsams on the chair one by one.
“This red cheongsam symbolizes a good start.” Danmu then changed into another cheongsam, “This natural green one represents smooth sailing all the way.”
Mr. Dan was speechless after being confronted by Mrs. Dan, and could only reply, "What about the yellow cheongsam?"
Danmu smiled gently, "Of course it means a glorious future. I can tell you don't have much of a sense of fun."
It's true that Dad loves his wife and dotes on her, but he's a bit too romantic. When he was younger, he would just quietly do his work and would never say sweet words to her directly.
However, she was content with her quiet but loving husband.
Mr. Dan shook his head in confusion, his eyes almost blurred by the colorful cheongsams in front of him. "So you've been wearing cheongsams all these past few days?"
As she put the chosen cheongsam down, Danmu said, "The cheongsam symbolizes a successful start, which is a blessing for them. Also, cancel your invitations for the next few days and come with me to see them off to the exam hall."
Mr. Dan took off his rimless glasses and said with a smile, "You don't need to tell me, I already turned it down a few days ago."
Dan's mother gave Dan's father a look that said, "You'd better know what's good for you."
The father, Dan, was both amused and exasperated. Even though he thought it was a minor incident and that the children could handle it, he was still amused.
However, he certainly wouldn't miss the college entrance examination, which his whole family took very seriously.

"Little friend, have you prepared all your stationery?" Dan Anwen checked the pencil case and supplies again, still not entirely at ease.
Gu Ji paused in her milk-drinking motion, a look of helplessness flashing in her eyes. This was the third time the man had checked her pencil case and exam admission ticket.
"Uncle Dan, don't be nervous."
Dan Anwen smiled, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly.
How could he not be nervous? He was terrified that something unexpected might happen during the college entrance exams, and that it would be difficult to comfort the child if he cried.
Dan Anwen zipped up the pencil case and replied with a smile, "I'm not that nervous, I just need to make sure you're absolutely safe before I can feel at ease."
Gu Jiyan's lips curled upwards, her bright eyes seemed to be studded with stars, as she quietly stared at the man's stubborn expression.
After checking all of Gu Ji's belongings again, Dan Anwen finally sat down on the sofa with a sense of relief. "Don't be nervous or scared tomorrow. No matter what, I'll be outside with you."
Gu Ji tilted her head, her voice soft and sweet, "I know Uncle Dan will always be with me."
As the college entrance exam drew closer, the pressure and tension in her heart gradually dissipated, and she believed that her current normal state of mind would definitely prevent her from underperforming.
"It's good that you know." Dan Anwen gently stroked the girl's hair with his large, well-defined knuckles, his words carrying a soothing and calming meaning.
Dan Anwen glanced at his watch and said in a gentle voice, "Go to bed early tonight, I'm leaving now."
"good."
After seeing the man to the door, Gu Ji washed up and went to bed.
Actually, compared to the tension of the exam, she felt more excited because she had a feeling that Uncle Dan would take action after the college entrance examination.
The girl on the bed closed her eyes and pondered for a while before falling asleep and having no dreams all night.
Meanwhile, the man next door was still processing documents because he had promised the girl he would wait outside the exam hall with her, so he needed to process a lot of documents in advance.
The moon shines brightly, all is quiet, the slightest sounds and the city's hustle and bustle gradually fade away, and the whole city falls asleep to welcome the light of the next day.
Gu Ji slept soundly and didn't experience any sleeplessness due to the upcoming college entrance examination.
"Zhao Zhao, Young Master Dan, you two should eat this 750-point dish." Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen carrying two porcelain plates.
The numbers seven and five are arranged on a porcelain plate with fried dough sticks, and a golden fried egg is used as zero.
"After eating these things, you'll have good luck for the next few days, and you'll get a perfect score on the college entrance exam," Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
Gu Ji looked at the breakfast on the plate, which had a very auspicious meaning, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Dan Si glanced at the breakfast on the plate, and even though he didn't like fried dough sticks, he ate the breakfast that was full of blessings.
After the two had almost finished eating, Dan Anwen came downstairs, raised an eyebrow at them, and asked, "You two got up so early?"
The first exam doesn't officially start until 9 o'clock, and it's only 7 o'clock now.
Gu Ji chewed on a fried egg and mumbled, "I'm used to it."
In the past month, she and Dan Si have been getting up earlier and earlier, probably because the pressure is increasing as the college entrance examination approaches. They always think about sleeping half an hour less so they can do more practice questions.
Dan Anwen took a sip of coffee and said casually, "It's better to go early to avoid traffic jams."
After breakfast, Dan Anwen drove the two people, two dogs, and one cat to the examination hall.
When it was time to get off the bus, Guoguo and Tangtang couldn't wait to get off with the girl.
Gu Ji stopped them from moving. "Guoguo, Tangtang, and Xiaohua, you stay in the car."
She was worried that getting the animals off the bus might frighten some test takers or parents who were afraid of dogs.
Guoguo and Tangtang were still very excited and didn't listen to the girl at all, constantly trying to squeeze past her.
Little Flower quieted down, stood on the chair, licked her hand, its dark eyes fixed on her, and chirped a few times, as if giving her a blessing.
Dan Anwen pursed his thin lips slightly, and his cool voice rang out, "Guoguo, Tangtang."
The name alone was enough to make the two dogs sit down obediently and stare longingly at the man.
"You all stay in the car."
After saying that, Dan Anwen got out of the car, walked around to the girl, closed the car door, and pressed the button to lock the car to prevent the two dogs from opening the door later.
"Zhao Zhao, Si Si, over here." Dan's mother arrived at the examination hall very early, and she saw them as soon as they got out of the car.
The three of them were almost stunned by the sight of Mother Dan's elaborate red cheongsam.
My mother usually dresses in a simple and elegant style, so this is the first time I've seen her wear such bright and colorful clothes.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Dan Si's lips twitched slightly.
With a smile on her face, Mother Dan spun around on the spot. "How was it? This is a great start!"
The three of them twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths. All they could think was that the mother's outfit today was exactly the same as that of the parents of the students taking the exam. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a cheongsam fashion show.
Seeing the excitement on Dan's mother's face, Gu Ji knew what she was thinking. In order not to disappoint her, he smiled and replied, "Grandma, you look so beautiful in your cheongsam."
The mother smiled gently, giving Gu Ji a look that said, "You have excellent taste," and instructed the two of them, "You two must keep a calm mindset, you know? After so many years of being a teacher, the experience I've gained is that mindset is the most important thing."
"I know, my uncle has been telling me all morning to calm down." Just thinking about how my uncle was nagging in the car earlier made Dan Si feel like his life was about to be shattered.
Who would have thought that the usually aloof and silent CEO was actually a talkative old man, whose deep and steady image collapsed instantly.
Dan Anwen glanced at Dan Si with a nonchalant expression. If it weren't for the fact that Dan Si had to take the college entrance exam later, he would have definitely taught him a lesson.
However, once the college entrance exam is over, it will be a good opportunity to send him to Xiao Han's army to train his willpower and physical strength, so that he won't be unable to withstand the academic pressure in college.
He's such a great uncle in China.
After speaking ill of Dan Anwen with unbridled confidence, Dan Si suddenly felt a chill in the sweltering summer air.
